get back to town
and do some work.
Oh, now,
why did you have to bring that up?
No good lawyer takes more than
three hours for luncheon.
I'm not such a good lawyer, Julie. I haven't
made much headway with those land grabs.
But you've only
been here a week.
In that time,
I've accomplished absolutely nothing.
I haven't an idea in my head.
Well, I don't know.
I think you've got a lot of ideas.
Come on. Get up. Get up, lazy.
Ah. The key to success.
There's something restful about
watching a woman work.
Yeah, so I've noticed.
Where'll I put it?
Must be the family man in me.
Over there
should impress the customers.
Nice day for a picnic.
We went on a picnic yesterday...
the day before,
and for eight days before that.
Today, we're going
to finish this office.
Come on, now. Get to work.
Still a nice day for a picnic.
Have you heard
when Bob's coming home?
No.
Why couldn't Bob be a lowdown,
no-account worthless Indian?
But he isn't, so I'm going
to Guthrie where I belong.
What about your work here?
If you think I'm gonna stick around and watch
you and Bob Dalton raise a family, you're crazy.
I can't help it
if I'm in love with you.
If I were a man in love with a girl
who was engaged to somebody else...
I'd-I'd go to that other person
and tell him how I felt.
And what do you suppose
he'd think if I did?
I don't suppose he'd like it.
That's why I'm going to Guthrie.
Oh, you're like all lawyers.
You can talk well enough in court...
but you haven't the courage
of your convictions.
If you loved this girl,
you'd do something about it.
- I'm open to suggestions.
- Well, I think-
I mean- Oh, go to Guthrie!
Oh, Tod.
We're in an awful mess.
Excuse me.
- Has this place got a back door?
- No.
I guess I'd better get back to my office
before the shooting starts.
- Huh? Tod, wait a minute.
- Yeah?
How much would
two divorces cost me?
- If the judge were reasonable, about 10 years.
- Oh.
Oh!
It ain't worth it.
Ben! Ben!
- Ben!
- What is it?
- Rigby and his men are surveying our land.
- Where are they?
- Down in the lower pasture.
- Go get Grat.
Here they come, Rigby.
All right, keep on working.
I'll handle it.
What are you doing on our land?
I'm afraid you've made
a mistake, my friend.
According to our survey, your line ends
on the other side of the road.
You're not gonna pull that game
on us, Rigby. Get out of here.
I don't want any trouble with you, Dalton.
We've got a job to do here, and-
- Your job is over!
- Emmett! Emmett!
Look out, Emmett!
All right, pick him up
and get out of here!
His head must've hit on the rock.
What's the matter?
Why don't you get him up?
- He's dead.
- Dead?
Maybe you'll stay off
other people's property after this.
Better take him up to the house.
The only way to find out who's behind this
Kansas Land and Development Company...
is have someone go to the capital
and search the records.
Sounds like a good idea.
I'll get busy on it.
But it's too bad
you're leaving us, Jackson.
Well, I'm sure you'll be able
to handle it better than I could.
- Besides, you know everyone around here.
- Well, people are gonna be mighty disappointed.
But our loss is Guthrie's gain.
I wonder what's going on down there.
Jim! Yo, Jim!
- What's all the excitement?
- We just arrested Ben Dalton.
- What happened?
- He killed one of Rigby's surveyors.
- I'd better get down there.
- This change your plans, Jackson?
I'll let you know.
- You fellers wouldn't-
- No!
Oh.
A judge couldn't perform
a marriage ceremony, could he?
You'll have to wait
till court's over.
We'll wait.
You are upset, aren't you?
Not about the trial.
Still going to Guthrie
when it's over?
There's nothing else
for me to do.
Please close the door a minute.
Look, Tod, you may not have guessed it,
but we aren't children.
I was doing all right with my life
till you popped up.
- Why won't you let me talk to Bob?
- I can't, Julie. Bob's my friend.
All right, he's your friend. Is that sacred
relationship all that's left in the world?
- What about me?
- I know it's unfair to you, Julie-
"Unfair." Aren't you noble?
According to your beautiful ideals, I'm
supposed to crawl away somewhere and die...
so that you and Bob can be friends.
- Oh, there you are.
- Bob, we were afraid you wouldn't get here.
Got here as soon as I could.
Hello, Julie.
Say, what is this whole thing
all about?
- Rigby. He's making a lot over
an unfortunate accident. - Uh-huh.
But we haven't got
anything to worry about.
- How's Ben takin' it?
- Worrying more about his planting than the trial.
He would.
Oh, darling, you're beautiful.
Haven't changed your mind
about her eyes, have you, Tod?
He's got other things to think about.
Well, I think I'll leave
you two old friends to talk this over.
to see Ben before the trial.
Yeah, yeah, I would.
I'd better go and cheer him up at that.
Oh. Almost forgot.
I got this for you
in Benton, Julie.
Know what kind of a stone it is?
- Sapphire. Here.
- Why, it's beautiful, isn't it, Tod?
Yes.
Oh, I don't want you to feel slighted.
Here. See you in court.
I hope you have
more to say for Ben.
- Good luck, Ben.
- Thank you, Julie.
- We're all behind ya.
- That's nice of you, Mr Winters.
How do you feel, Ben?
Sit down right here.
Hello, Ozark.
You think you got troubles.
- Kinfolk?
- Nearly.
Everybody rise.
Hear ye, hear ye.
The court of the 18th district
of the state of Kansas is now in session.
Judge Lucius Thorndyke presiding.
Be seated.
The case of the People v. Ben Dalton.
Is the State ready?
Ready, Your Honour.
Defence ready?
Ready, Your Honour.
- I object!
- Object to what?
I apologize, Your Honour.
Proceed with the selection
of the jury.
Would you, uh, have any scruples against
inflicting the death penalty, Mr Osborne?
- Not me.
- The State accepts Jim Osborne.
You may question
the prospective juror, Mr Jackson.
If it please the court, the defence
has full confidence in Mr Osborne...
in spite of the fact that
he once was accused of stealing a horse.
Objection, Your Honour!
This juror isn't on trial.
Nobody ever proved
I stole that horse!
Counsel will refrain
from personal remarks.
I apologize, Your Honour. I'm sure the
gentleman who told me about it was mistaken.
Who said I stole that horse?
What's his name?
I believe it was, uh,
juror number three, Mr Norris.
Who, me?
I never said no such thing!
Any time Jim Osborne wants to steal
a horse, that's his business.
What do you mean, that's my business?
I sold that horse to Ed Pickett.
Didn't I, Ed?
Well, I paid for it. But when I went to
the barn the next morning, it was gone...
and two sets of harness with it!
Why, you-
We can't let Jackson get away with this.
Those are our men.
I'm afraid my learned colleague
knows that as well as we do.
Order! Order!
Take your hands off my pistol!
Order! Order!
