I can stand anything you can and more!

I'm not going away!

I'm going to stay here

and look after him!

And now you get out of here!

Get out!

Get out!

You get out of here!

I warned you, Steve.

I warned you!

How could you do this to me?

It's alright, darling.

It's alright.

I'm trying to understand.

Let's never talk about it.

Never let it come between us.

Forget it ever happened.

I can't help it, ma'am.

I think Romeo was a mangy hombre!

Shut up that rotten noise!

Set up another round, Joe!

You know what I want!

Town's full of mangy cowboys!

What's up?

A wedding. Judge Henry's foreman's

getting married to the school-marm.

Him, huh?

I think he would marry her;

she saved his life!

I remember something about him being

shot a while ago.

Indians, wasn't it?

No, somebody plugged him in the back!

Hello, sweetheart!

Come here!

Boys, the only woman in Wyoming

that's always on time!

You said 5 o'clock, and here I am!

Senorita and I are going to go get

some flapjacks.

After that, we'll be back at the bar

for some more punishment!

- Did you see who I saw?

- Yeah, the mangy cow thief!

Looks like bad news to me!

- When's it going to be?

- Tomorrow!

The bishop's making a special trip

just to marry them!

Ain't never seen a bishop!

What's a bishop look like?

Like an ordinary shoe-drummer. Except

he wears half his clothes backwards!

- Howdy, Miss Wood!

- How do you do?

Won't be Miss Wood this time tomorrow!

You look pretty as a picture!

Much prettier than that girl on the

"Pride of Iowa" can of corn!

Where's Ma & Dad Taylor?

They will be along soon.

I'll get everything ready.

- Howdy, Miss Molly!

- Hello boys!

- Welcome to the bride!

- We've been waiting all morning!

I didn't expect you so soon!

They got something planned!

I can see it in their faces.

- Howdy, boys!

- Howdy, boss!

He's plumb right, Miss Molly!

Could we borrow him for a spell?

- Can I trust you?

- We'll be good...pretty good!

Not too good!

- Which is the honest man?

- Not one of them!

I'll trust all of you. I'm going upstairs

now and you can drink all you please!

Sure thing!

See you later!

We'll be waiting!

- You don't mind me going with them?

- Of course not!

The boys have their right to you just

as much as I have.

It won't be long.

Anyhow, the Taylors will be along soon.

We will have plenty of time alone

where we're going.

Traveling West.

Find just the place we want

to make our home.

I hope you'll never be sorry!

Hope I'll always be able to

make you happy.

And keep you happy.

That's going to be my main aim in life.

Now run along.

The boys are waiting for you.

The boys brought you things

and they're all upstairs.

Hello, boys!

Set up about 4 of them

and let's get to it!

Much obliged to you boys!

I didn't know Trampas was in town.

He's heading for more trouble.

Talking plenty and drinking more!

Well boys, my last drink with you...

...single!

Well, fire and fall back boys!

Someday maybe I'll step off too!

Here's luck!

I'm glad you know there's a friend

of yours in town.

Did he mention he was a friend of mine?

He said plenty about you!

What I hear goes in one ear

and out the other.

Hot weather, ain't it?

That friend of yours said he'd drop in

again, in case you're interested.

Well, it ain't!

Let's have another drink!

Hey, did you get what you were hunting

in the Tetons last Fall?

Yeah, sheep was thick

in the Tetons all year.

Trampas claims different.

We'll take this thing off your hands.

Save you the trouble!

Just say the word!

No!

Thanks, boys.

This is a matter between us two.

I'm hoping he don't drift around.

But a fellow don't get married

every day!

You've got to think of her!

Who else am I thinking of?

I'm acting mayor of this town

and I'll put him in jail!

Until you get married anyway.

Joe's Place is getting pretty crummy

all of a sudden!

Set up a round!

Cow hands drinking their mangy wages.

Somebody left the door open,

and the wind blew in!

Aw, come here Trampas!

Let's drink to the bride and groom!

Get good and liquored for the wedding!

I heard the only way a man can get shot

in the back is by running away!

Say you, I'm a friend of Trampas.

You know what Trampas claims about your

affair down in the Tetons...

...that you run from a rustler

with your tail between your legs!

Feller, if you wasn't drinking you might

wake up and find yourself seriously dead!

Come on, Joe. Drink hardy, boys!

Turn your tail, you ornery hound!

And shove your nose into the ground!

For I'm an hombre Texas bound,

early in the morning!

Hey you! You've been spreading talk

about my cattle deals!

I'm having a showdown with you

here and now!

- I don't want ruckus here!

- Shut up and keep out of this!

It's you I'm talking to!

Trampas, I'm trying not to have

any trouble with you just now!

You've been dodging it for 5 years!

You tried to stay out of my way!

I've got you corralled now,

and I'm calling your hand!

You lying, white-livered skunk! This

country ain't big enough for both of us!

I'm giving you until sundown

to get out of town!

Too bad you had to say that, Trampas!

Get out! Get out by sundown

or I'll shoot you on sight!

Boys...

...if you'll oblige me in this.

Sure, we understand. It's something

nobody else can do for you.

- I knew you'd see it that way.

- We'll see that nobody interferes.

Never thought Trampas had the guts!

I don't want her to know

until it's all over.

We ain't saying nothing.

She wouldn't understand.

She was raised different.

- So long, Joe.

- Goodbye, Honey.

Won't be long to wait.

Sun will be down in half an hour.

Well, he forced it on you so hurry

and get it over with.

Yeah, we want to get some fun

out of this wedding too!

- You ain't worried, are you?

- Of course not!

It's been so frightful waiting for you!

Who had to tell you about it?

The woman downstairs. I wanted to

run out and find you.

But I didn't.

I waited quietly in my room.

- I'm sorry you had to be worried.

- It doesn't matter.

Nothing matters now that you're back

again and it's all over.

Let's don't think about it.

What will we do now?

What now?

Now?

Nothing now.

I know it's a heap worse for you...

I wish you didn't have to wait alone...

...but it won't be for long.

What do you mean?

I did my best...

I let him say things to me no man

ever said before.

If I hadn't been thinking hard of you...

I reckon I'd have killed him then!

I gave him a chance to quit.

But he had gone too far

before the others.

It'll have to go on now.

What are you going to do?

I'm not going to let him shoot me.

We can go away! It's not too late!

You can go away and leave him here!

I've got to stay!

There's something else!

There must be!

Think what it means,

killing in cold blood!

Do you think I want to do this?

I've tried to forgive the other killings.

Those cattle thieves and Steve...

I forced myself to think of it

as you did.

A public duty, law and order!
