get up there!

i am. i d... aah-ha!

get off! get off!

if i didn't think you'd freeze

to death come this winter,

i'd rob this bank myself

and leave you here.

comin' through.

watch it!

uh...

maybe you ought

to check and see if

the front door's

open. will you shut up?

perfect. it's a great

scheme. only when it's over,

i'm the deserted wife left

with three kids to mother...

while i watch your south

end disappearing over a hill.

but you'll be compensated

for any inconvenience, any...

i don't want their money.

it's theirs. they found it.

agreed. the only reason i

suggested it is that i knew...

that you would provide

them with a good home.

what do you get out

of this "arrangement"?

a chance to get to new

orleans before winter sets in.

that all? - well, i would appreciate

it if you'd square my debts.

i will repay you in due time.

and that's all?

- yes!

oh, now wait a minute.

uh, do you mean...

might i exercise my

husbandly prerogatives?

that's exactly what i

mean. miss clydesdale,

nothing could be

further from my mind.

this marriage would ensure a

good home for those children.

nothing more. i give

my word as a gentleman.

it's not the best

guarantee i've ever had.

well, maybe not, but it's

the best i have to offer.

so what's it gonna be, miss

clydesdale? you calling or folding?

all right, i'll

go along with it.

but it's not for you.

it's for the kids.

and the sooner you light a shuck

out of this town, the better.

it's gonna be daylight before

we even get in that bank.

boy, once we get our hands on that

gold, we're gonna be livin' like kings.

we'll be shooin' those senoritas off

like flies. never mind about that now.

just make sure this

mule of yours don't

get frisky. don't you

worry about clarice.

she'll get you up there all

use that hooty-owl

again? now i answer

with a whippoorwill.

remember nothin'?

when i give that rope a tug, then you

haul me up. that's a new one. right.

tug and haul. right.

okay. no hooty-owl. okay!

now this time, it's just gonna

be a tug and haul. you got that?

well, that's it.

mr. donavan said he doesn't

want us wandering around...

somebody's coming! we're not wandering

around. we're looking for him.

maybe we should stay

home till he gets back.

he should've

been back by now.

unless he forgot.

hi.

who are you talkin' to?

oh. hey, you're the man that showed

us how to get to the mine, aren't ya?

that's right. you

kids run along now.

we're looking for mr. donavan.

well, i think

he went that way.

why are you standing

on your toes like that?

'cause i wanna stand on my

toes. now get outta here.

well, you kids go ahead

now. i'm real busy.

where's your friend?

- he'd better be in another county.

how'd you get up

there? never mind how i

got up here. you kids

should be in bed now.

get outta here.

ah! bite me, you

ungrateful fleabag you.

how'd you do that?

anyway, i got here early this morning

to draw up the certification papers...

for the nugget for

the san francisco mint,

and when i opened up the place,

when i opened up the place,

i got the shock of my life!

morning. morning.

you two couldn't

take candy away from a

baby without comin'

out on the short end.

well, it's not gonna go

so easy on ya this time.

get outta that silly

rope, and stand up.

this court is now in session, the

honorable homer mccoy presiding.

theodore ogelvie, amos tucker,

you're charged with

attempted bank robbery.

how do you plead?

guilty or not guilty?

not guilty?

- guilty!

the wrong one.

- this court sentences you...

to be hung by the neck

until dead, and i'm

fining you an extra

ten bucks for perjury.

let 'em out, leonard.

nice goin'. unh.

be down to the oak tree near boot

hill at 12:
00 sharp for your hanging.

thank you, your honor.

12:
00 sharp on that.

you don't thank a man for hanging

you, you leather-brained ignoramus.

and bring your own rope.

right. i'll get

it. where you goin'?

that's the only rope

we got. get outta here.

well, the hardware's

closed.come on, you dummy.

well, how you gonna hang

yourself without a rope?

you know, those dummies

are liable to show up.

well, if they do, they

deserve to be hung.

i just want to get 'em out

of this town once and for all.

sooner that gold's out of this bank and

in the san francisco mint, the better.

a lot of people are

out to get that nugget.

stillwell, we've been sittin' on

this mountain for two days now.

starin' at a bank

through a spyglass...

ain't gonna get us no richer.

you worried about

that sheriff?

any time you got one of

them down-home sheriffs,

you always got a town

full of vigilantes.

we could be walkin' into

a real hornet's nest.

we got to get

the gold sometime.

oh, we're gonna get it. i

never rode no 200 miles...

just to look at the scenery.

dang. your leg

cutting up again?

yeah, it always acts up on me

every time the weather changes.

i'll tell you one thing sure.

if i ever get in shootin' distance

of that doggone amos tucker,

he's gonna have windows

where his ears was.

uh, homer? can we,

uh, talk with you?

as barber, sheriff or

justice of the peace?

justice of the peace.

that's two bits. but i

only got half a shave!

a whole shave's four bits. now git

before i fine you for loitering.

git, git, git, git.

all right, all right.

i'll see you next tuesday.

dusty, you a willin'

party to this union?

just wanna make sure they get

a square deal and a good home.

i never teamed two

more unlikely prospects.

you go together like

ice cream and whiskey,

but i guess you'd be man and

wife, same as regular people,

and nobody could

say different.

now you kids just make

yourselves comfortable.

did you want it complete

with the trimmings...

love, honor and

cherish and all that?

kind of like to hear

it anyway. well, fine.

uh, well, let's just

get it over with.

you got a ring? no.

more legal with a ring.

you hold this till i tell ya.

was you gonna

keep your hats on?

you take her, donavan?

yes!

do you take him, dusty?

i do.

uh, the ring. give

it to mr. donavan.

powers invested in me, the state

of california, county of tulare,

i pronounce you hitched.

it ain't necessary for you

to kiss if you don't want to,

but you ought to at

least shake on it.

well, that's it. i generally

get two dollars about this point.

pay you back.

ah. since you two don't seem

to have no immediate plans,
