The Rare Breed Page #7

in there. Would you like some?

HILARY:
Yes, thanks.

Here, I'll let you

take the real chair.

HILARY:
Thanks.

I'm just finishing up the calf pens.

I built two corrals

up in the canyon.

Do you still think

there will be calves?

SAM:
Yes, I do.

You see, is only the end of June.

Vindicator could have lasted longer

than anybody expected.

You could see his calves

clear into October.

I see.

- What did you say this was, Sam?

- Coffee.

I'm sorry about you and Jamie.

You two have a fight?

Thas what

I wanted to talk to you about.

You see, everything's become

so complicated.

Is just that Jamie asked me

to marry him.

SAM:
I think thas fine.

HILARY:
And I said no.

- You don't love him?

- Yes, I do. Very much.

- Well, then...

- But don't you see...

if I marry Jamie then Mother

will have to marry Mr. Bowen.

No, I'm afraid I don't follow you.

Sam, don't you ever think

about Mother?

Think about her?

I think about her all the time.

I have this place here

and this idea...

and thas more than I ever had

in my whole life before.

And your mother

made this all possible for me.

And it means a lot.

Then, is not right for you to

keep all these things to yourself.

Is not fair. Mother needs you.

I'm afraid I'm not very good

at figuring out problems...

especially other people's.

All I know is that

I'm tied to this idea here...

that your mother gave me, and I'm

just bound to go through with it.

But ill be too late, Sam.

Mother and Mr. Bowen...

No, your mother'll make

her own decision.

And thas as it should be.

But you ought to make yours, too,

Hilary.

If you love Jamie, I think

you ought to go up and tell him.

And marry him.

- Do you think I should?

- I sure do.

Well, thanks for the coffee.

- I'm glad I came to see you.

- I'm glad you did, too.

Come back, Sam.

[Soft instrumental music]

[Clearing throat]

[Lively instrumental music]

Is a grand day.

Get out of there, you beast, you.

[Goat bleating]

Is a grand day, Mistress Evans.

- We've got plans to make.

- How thoughtful of you.

- What I mean to say is that...

- They're lovely.

I mean to say is urgent

that we make haste.

We ought to be thinking

about setting a time.

Very well, Alex. September, then.

Late in September.

You're not still hoping that

there'll be some crossbreed calves?

I suppose so.

I can't seem to help myself.

Is because that lunatic

is still out there searching.

He's bound to fail, I tell you.

You see that, don't you?

Yes, I know. But until September.

- Thas not too much to ask, is it?

- No.

He'll certainly give up by then.

I agree. September it is.

[Sober instrumental music]

[Calf mooing]

[Fast-paced instrumental music]

I'm gonna borrow him

for a little while.

Don't you worry.

[All chattering]

Jamie, there's Sam.

You got a whiteface.

This is what

you came here for, Martha.

There's Hereford crossbreeds

on this range.

That calf will make a fine

wedding present, Sam.

I told you I'd be back

when I found a crossbreed.

There's the first one.

You take your hand off

that woman, Sam Burnett.

And there'll be more whiteface

but I'm gonna need you, Martha.

Did you hear what I said?

I said take your hand off her.

And you get out of here.

[People clamouring]

[Bowen yelling]

[Screaming]

[Horse neighing]

[Sentimental instrumental music]

- Alex, I...

- I can see for myself, woman.

Thas Hereford country

and you can raise the bloody things.

Raise them if you can, I say.

Thas just what we're going to do.

And before we're finished...

you're gonna see crossbreed

Hereford all over this range.

[Grunts]

You can take that one with you.

[Amusing instrumental music]

That one looks like

one of the first dozen, Martha.

I'm glad we kept some longhorns,

Sam, for old times' sake.

So am I.

They're getting pretty scarce.

[Hilary whistling patriotic tune]

There. Watch that one now.

Do you still think one of them

will come to you?

No, not really.

Sometimes a bit of him

catches my eye.

I like to think

he's still out there. Somewhere.
