Texas Across the River (1966) Movie Script

Texas, across the river,
where I see them go by
wonderful days.
Just the sound of Texas
gets me poem of soul reflexes
and it's enough to
make a grown man cry.
Texas, across the river,
where your name is Tex or Sam or Slim.
I just got to ride there,
Got to get to the other side there.
I just hope and pray that
my horse can swim,
cross the river to Texas.
And i'll never more roam,
Making Texas my home.
Making Texas my home.
Take it easy, Yancy, you
got a wedding to go to.
Well, Phoebe Ann, seems like your dad has invited...
the whole state of louisiana to your wedding.
You wouldn't do if your daughter
is marrying a title of nobelity?
Phoebe Ann, being... em...
courted by a European
Is it any different than if one of our boys?
Like, Yancy, say?
- How?
- How?
How?
Well, with Andrea, when we are ...
Well, he's just much more romantic!
So... so passion!
My heart is so full.
I must impress you.
Your daughter brings me such joy.
Such ... such ...
Well, I assure you sir,
that the entire Naylor family...
feel proud and honored that
our little Phoebe Ann...
is about to become the Duchess of La Casala.
No, it's I the one that honered.
I'm the luckiest man in all the world.
In the name of our cousin,
Lieutenant Yancy Coddle,
we are hereby to forbid, polish,
cancel and call off this wedding.
Amen.
I thought you're engaged to me.
Well, answer me.
Weren't you?
Why, Yancy, certainly you didn't...
Think a little bit of kisses for engagement.
You accepted my ring! wouldn't you?
It would a bad manner to refuse.
Besids, you go off for borders
in shooting Indians,
and he looks handsome the uniform and so brave, and...
The moon was shining and ...
Stop that!
Yancy, you can't, let me loose!
And in case anyone here cares to dispute our intentions,
my cousin Howard and I
we are at you service.
Right!
Ah, the ceremony begins, yes?
What do we do now?
Let's pray.
Captain Stimpson, sir, what is
the meaning of this intrusion?
Mr. Naylor, sir, your daughter had
an agreement with our cousin Yancy,
and we will not permit her to betray him.
Sir, you'll apologize to my guests...
and kindly "get the hill out of my plantation"!
Pardon, ladies.
We will, sir, as soon as we find
that "damn" fortune hunter!
Pardon, ladies.
Now, where did you hide it?
Don Andrea Baldasar,
El Duke of La Casala,
Is no fortune hunter, sir.
Nor is he the man to "hide"...
from any threat of physical violence...
Get out of the way, sir.
Oh. A military escort!
I am honored, Seniores.
We go now, yes?
We go now, yes.
What are you doing?
I do not understand.
Yancy, I must insist
you leave bedroom this minute.
It's my wedding day.
A girl with your family background
give her hand to some nobody, foreigner.
I'll have you know that noble blood flows
through Andrea's veins.
I hope that noble blood doesn't stain your white's petunias.
Oh, Yancy!
Phoebe Ann.
Oh. Don Andrea.
Oh. Yancy, don't!
I will turn your ring.
How did it happen, Howard?
I saw it all, Rodney.
The coward attacked him from the rear.
This is murder.
Where are you taking me?
Hold on there!
Now, See here!
You Cannot travel by house and scare my family!
And if you ruffians don't
leave at once I should ...
They must be in one of the rooms.
This will take you to the butlers pantry.
you can go the back way to the stables
But this wasn't a matter of honor.
Why I should run away?
Because those men are cousins of Yancey Coddle.
They'll never believe us.
And neither will anyone else.
Crawl here, Quick.
No, The Baldasar is not crawl.
Keep looking. When I catch him,
I'll string him myself.
Take my black horse, It's the fastest.
Thank you.
Where shall I go?
Across the border to Texas.
The army will not follow you to a foriegn country.
He might be in the pantry.
When will I see you again?
Soon, darling. I will get to Texas
as quick as I can.
Where in Texas?
How will you find me?
I will find you.
Texas is not even a state.
How big it could be?
Let's knock this door down.
I won't breathe till we meet again.
I don't wish to live without you.
Until I hold you in my arms, my love,
my life is a handfull of ashes.
Don't worry Rodney,
He will not get away.
Let's go.
Oh. Crying won't bring him back, Phoebe Ann.
There, there, Phoebe Ann.
We all miss poor Yancy.
Oh. You're such a comfort to me, Rodney.
Well, after all he was my favourit cousin.
such a comfort!
#Reward - Wanted for Murder#
#6th. Cavalrt Headquarters#
Sure you got a hard head, Hollis!
Well, getting softer by the minutes.
Well, then listen to me,
cause I'm tilling you for the last time.
I have no authority to give you any men.
Yeh, but you've got the authority to let a handfull
of Texas settlers trying to
hold off the Comanche without arms?
You got all the guns you need.
I got'em them here, but
not in Moccasin Flat.
All I'm asking is a couple of men
ride gun across the
Comanche territory.
Then you go and Hire yourself some guns
linger off the street.
And where I'm gonna find one stupid enough to go?
That is not my problem.
I told you before until you texans
become a part of the union
the united states cavalry is not
authorized to cross that border.
Let me tell you something, Captain.
You ... You ...
You better get this door fixed, before
somebody thinks you keeping on tidy house.
"The thing is ugly."
"The thing is very ugly, boss."
Yes, you can say that again.
Things even look worse unless we can
spot a likely looking gun
with stupid look on face.
Real stupid.
Hey, Hollis!
You can just say it is not my day.

Well, that's why I'm in business.
Please, a question.
Yes, friend.
After I shoot all the feathers
I can sell the turkey for $ 20 cash?
You shoot all those feathers off
without a miss,
and I will give you the $ 20 myself.
Use your own bullets and rifle
and put the 2 dollars in the counter, friend.
You would be so kind to deduct the 2 dollars
from the 20 dollars, yes?
How's that again?
I need only 15$ for the
boat to cross the river.
You give me 20 for the turkey,
I take 15 and give you 5.
2$ for the game, and 3$ profit.
There is one thing wrong
in your figure, friend.
You're just liable to miss and then
goodbye my 2 dollars.
Miss? I am a Baldasar.
Well, And I'm a Baptist myself
but that's never improves my aim none.

No, I have the feeling that I ...
We better get moving, are you?
Kronk, bring up the horses.
It is night. We not sleep?
Well, it ain't too healthy to travel through
that Comanche territory in the daytime...
So we will travel at night.
Oh. When we ride the savages sleep, right?
Yep.
Them Comanches believe that
The moon is an evil spirit.
Scare to ride in dark.
old-fashioned Indians.
Well, the sun is coming up.
Time to bed down for the day.
Sam Hollis, look!
Too many of them.
Look.
Now, What's the matter with you, Baldy?
I... I figured you spotted a
Comanche war party at least.
One day I'll own a herd like this.
It is my dream.
Are you crazy? You Can't herd
those devil horns.
But they are cattle. No?
Well, Where in a couple of hundred years ago when your
Spaniards brought them over but
But look how wild they are now.
Cattle! You have better luck
trying to milk a buffalo.
Where you going?
To the stream.
To wash my face and hands.
Oh, you're expecting a company?
Hey Baldy, you keep on spooking
on longhorns and you gonna pushed...
under grass tall enough for them to feed on.
Look!
Dirty red-skins steal mules.
"Lots of bullets. Just two pistols.
How can it be?"
"Ride now. Talk later."
These guns. So many shoots without reloading?
Well, It called six shooters.
called six shooters?
Now Comanches know
what we pack on the mules.
Yeah, and they'll be back with a
whole tribe on our tail.
I'm sorry, Sam Hollis.
It's all my fault.
Yes, your fault.

That's where I see you.
In front of the soldier's.
You bring them.
You... you knew this?
Hey, What's the differnce?
You got away, didn't you?
You are not my friend.
My escape was a Dishonorable trick.
Only because you needed a bodyguard.
Not a bodyguard, Baldy.
A guard for these revolvers.
These settlers of Moccasin Flat ...
Why did you go doind thing like that?
Because I don't have a glove.
I'll tell you what, partner, let's say that even the score.
Come on, let's get moving, huh?
Hey, I've only been slapped twice
in my whole life.
One is by my ma.
And the other time by a fellow
who got himself buried the same day.
No one betrays a Baldasar lives.
We will have the duel.
Well, some other time, Baldy, I got to ...
From now on you'll only adress me only as "your grace".
"Grace" my boy,as soon as you deliver
these guns to Moccasin Flat,
I'm going to address a hole
right through your Baldasar head.
Comanchen medicine man.
Is the girl sick?
Sick of she's going to be.
What are we waiting for?
Baldy!
"Be brave, crazy ..."
He either likes girls Or crazy about snakes.
Look, snake bite.
Cut Quick, make bleed.
Wristling longhorns and jump on rattlesnakes.
Lucky thing there's no elephants
around so you're can rope 'em.
Dumb fool.
The girl?
She's all right?
Ok, Kronk, suck out the poison.
Yekh!
What do you mean... Yekh!?
Could get very sick.
come on Kronk, you know better than that.
Why you not suck the poison?
Me? I don't even like the guy.
Not my favorite either.
Have him for friend, not need comanche.
All right, you mule head red skin.
I will do it.
We just can't stand him what...
Bring up the horses.
You are a brave and generous woman.
Write her a letter.
But which one will the girl ride?
Nothing.
Them Comanches just ain't
going to take too kindly with us...
Busting enough their death ceremony.
I do not leave the girl.
You won't be happy until
you get us all butsherd, didn't you, Baldy?
Now, get on your horse.
You cannot leave her to be killed!
Look! Smoke writing!
What it say?
What do you mean ...?
You always read smoke signals.
Sorry, only read Kronk's.
Comanches talk of war party.
Ah. You Speak our language!
What war party?
I live in white vikkage many years.
What war party?
Comanches burn village,
kill cattle, arrest me.
What war party?
Comanches talk of cattle...
coming from east.
That's our herd, coming from Louisiana.
Now, If we ride right straight through the
Moccasin Flat...

Go without me. I will manage.
Manage? you'll be riding around
in circles before sundown.
I will lead him to white village.
Alright.
I'll tell you somthing.
You keep your gun on this Squaw.
Cause she'll turn on you the
first chance she gets.
I apologize for my companion.
He's a man with no upbringing.
What?
If you were a gentleman.
You would apologize yourself.
I got no time to argue.
Sam Hollis,
You were ready to
suck out the poison.
For this I'm grateful.
I aim to keep you alive
for only one reason, Baldy.
You and me we got something
to settle in Moccasin Flat.
May I have the honor to present myself.

arrows sticking in the rest,
We'd better get moving.
There's Comanches making this way.
Comanches? Break camp!

than a young beautiful woman.
Outside the cattle, that is.
Oh, then maybe you better go
escort a cow, mr. Hollis.

He's the one who came with you.
It's true.
In the dark all red-skin look alike, don't they?
Get out of here.
Honey, how we ever gonna get to

Pleased to meet your, buster.
Welcome to Moccasin Flat.

Sam Hollis told us about.
With the snake bite and the Comanches,
- ...we had you figured per dead by now.
- Sam Hollis is here, yes?
Well, he's riding cover for the caravan cattle train.
He should be back today.
If he ain't been scalped.
Anything can I do for you, friend?
I'm to meet someone here.
A young lady from the United States.
She has been inquiring
for me perhaps, yes?
Oh. Not that I know of.
This is Texas, is it not?
Yep.
It is possible there is more than one Texas?
Friend, If there ones more than one,
it wouldn't be hardly room for nothing else.
Comanches!

He's riding zigzag Cy.
Well, that means he want to talk.
Here. Keep me coverd.
If he starts looking at
My hair, Gabe, you be ready.
"We want the girl."
What did he say?
Cut it off. Take it easy.
All what they want is that Indian girl.
And where did she come from?
Well, I've seen her riding in with him here.
All they want is her back, mister.
Claims she belongs to them.
They'll kill her.
Well, we don't turn her over,
they'll come an get her.
No, I will not permit...
You ever seen them comanche
wildmen when they come at you?
Send her outside.
We got kids to think about.
The Indians do not like to wait.
It would be different if Sam and the
others were here.
Let her go back to her own tribe.
That's right, we ain't risk that settlement
over some dirty no account Squaw.
Have you no shame, no honor?
I don't know what he's saying,
but that's fighting lingo if I ever heard it.
That's correct, I invite you to a duel.
All of you.
Let him be, Luke,
The gal is already gone.
Are you out of your mind?
They'll butcher you like a spring cap.
Why don't the blame fool just
let them take her?
Take her?
Would you let them take me?
Lonetta, why did you choose to die?
Go back, they'll think you challenge them.
Only a coward would do this!
Lonetta!
Go back or you'll be killed.
"White man give challenges.
Comanche send best brave."
"Yellow knife."
"Fearless son fight paleface."
"There goes the ball game."
"Bring back scalp."
"Please."
"I will, father."
Run!
Run? A baldasar?
Never.
Get inside the wagon.
Oh. With you, I suppose.
Thanks for the invitation, ma'am,
but right now there is a gun fire...
coming from Moccasin Flat.
Go.
Why, You dumb fool tender foot.
You try to take on that
whole tribe single handed.
Oh. When one's alone,
one must become an army.
"Take revenge. Kill challenger."
Well, I'm glad to see you're
still in one piece, Mr. hero.
You and me still has got some
unfinished business to... Oh!
Forgive me, Sam Hollis.
Comanches run for hill.
Why look so funny?
And one laugh out, I'll put you so hard....
So your whole tribe will fall down.
I don't laugh at your pain but....
But the location.
Oh. Since you got such
sense of humor, Baldy,
maybe you can think of something funny
to write down on your tomb stone.
Do not be afraid.
If you harm her I'll ...
Hold yourself up, man.
We just want to take back some of the things we said.
Standing up to them made us like what you've done.
We'd be right proud to have you
stay on the at Moccasin Flat, friend.
I accept your apologies.
We aim to back up our invite with
a 1,000 acres of good
Texan land, free and clear.
1,000 acres?
We know it ain't much, but It's a start.
This is the most generous!
Of course land don't mean much without cattle.
You See that wagon train coming in yonder?
Five of them cows is yours, too.
And the pull is on me.
To build a great herd, this is my dream.
I hate to wake you up, friend.
What are you getting at, Floyd?

paddlers still on her feet by nightfall.
Oh. I understand.
Sorry, stranger.
Your intentions were most honorable.
You'll have cattle.
Lonetta, didn't you hear what he said?
More even than you dream.
Feather chief. Big honor
to get shot by chief.
Yes, one more big honer like that
and I'll be riding upside down.
Why mad at me?
I ain't mad, I'm just sore.
White man speak with forked tongue.
Now, What the devil that's supposed to mean?
Mean?
Old Indian saying.
All old Indians saying.
Cousin Floyd, I wonder if one
of these handsome gentlemen will be
Willing to lend a hand with my things?
Yes ma'am.

Miss Naylor, ma'am, you're all right?
The Indians didn't get you after all?
No, I'm quite save, thank you.
Oh. And about Last night in the wagon,
please forgive me for all the liberties.
Oh. Phoebe Ann.
You poor man.
Oh. Don't go away.
Don't go away
Where are you?
- Phoebe Ann.
- I'm here. I'm here.
The Comanches!
I got to protect Phoebe Ann.
The beautiful Phoebe Ann.
Stay away from her, you dare, darn redskin!
Oh. Wake up, Sam .. Mr. Hollis.
You're safe.... at the settlement.
Mom! Oh, Mom!
These are not cattle, Lonetta,
These are Wild longhorns.
We will tame them.
It's impossible.
Sam Hollis says that...
There is much white man not know.
When dark, we drive six away from heard.
From these six, you will grow your dream.
Now it is you who dream, Lonetta.
One man, one woman, How can we do this?
One man, one woman has
enough for many things.
We do it.
How?
Fire and water.
With fire, we drive longhorns from herd.
Three days, three nights,
we keep them from water.
On the fourth day, we let them drink.
On the fourth day they will be dead.
No, they will be tamed.
This is a secret Comanches know.
Well, I hope it's a secret
the longhorn also know.
Are you hurt?
We mus stop them.
They Smell the water.
What water?
Behind that hill there is a deadpool.
Black water, if they drink, they will die.
Out of the way! Quick!
If they drink, they will die.
Run, Lonetta, run.
What water is that burning?
Many places where one dig, they flood with
this black poison.
It's the curse of Texas.
I pray that my thousand acres...
wouldn't find this black poison.
Lonetta, take care careful, will you?
Don't worry, they're all tamed now.
Lonetta, We did it.
You did it.
White man know secret.
Tamed long horns,
Many come, bring more guns.
We must Wipeout settlement.
Good thinking, Dad.
Make smoke.
Tell all the tribes gather warriors to...
Well, Monkeys bite me if...
Yeah. But that is impossible.
That is what I thought,
But Lonetta knew therwise.
Three days we keep the water this beast
and they are pusst cat!
You know what this means?
All the longhorns we can handle.
free to take it.
Means a herd of cattle for every Settler.
I'm begining to feel rich already.
Sure It was a lucky day for Moccasin
Flat when you rode in, buster.
I mean, Mr. Baldasar.
It was Lonetta who ...
Baldasar?
See, You wouldn't be that Duke Phoebe Ann
was asking about, are you?
Phoebe Ann?
She is here?
Where is she stay?
She has been Spending most of the time with a...
At the Trading Post.
Lonetta, did you hear?
She's here. My future bride.
Come on.
I declare Kronk, I never knew a man to stay
delirious for three whole days.
Comanches never use clean arrows.
Comanches! Back! Back!
Lie quite, Sam, there are no Commanches here.
Ma.
No, Sam, It's Phoebe Ann.
Oh. Miss Naylor,ma'am, It's you.
Will I never get better,
Not unless you get out of that bed.
I declare I think I'd held you back by Pampering you.
Pampering, ma'am?
You don't have the will to get back on
your feet and there's nothing I can do for you.
I'm willing ma'am.
I mean... I'll fight this thing through.
Even if it kills me.
Oh. Ma, Ma!
Gotta protect Phoebe Ann.
Gotta protect Phoebe Ann.
It's alright, Sam.
It's alright.
The young lady from the
united states, where is she?
I make a big surprice, yes.
Yes.
Gotta protect Phoebe Ann.
- Gotta protect Phoebe Ann.
- Sam! Sam!
Don.
Sweetheart...
Don't you knock before entering a man's bedroom?
Forgive me, I do not realize that...
Phoebe Ann, what is this?
Don Andrea, darling, don't you go thinking
what I see you're thinking here.
The eye, it does'nt look like you're brave.
Honey, you don't have to
explain nothing to him.
You two know each other?
He called you honey.
Of course, that's because he...
Why are your clothes wet?
Lonetta runned into the stream after we tamed the cattle.
I bet that's not all what you tamed.
What cattle?
You are here with my wife to be and you dare to...
Who is Lonetta?
Oh. Her and him have been away together.
- Wife to be?
- Lonetta is a brave...
Are you loko, Baldy?
She is my girl.
- Lonetta is your girl?
- No, you are my girl.
- Who is Lonetta?
- You are his girl?
Lonetta is the most beautiful India squaw
that you've ever seen.
And they were away
three days and nights.
And you walking in here, accusing me...
I'm not your girl.
Of course you are, since
that night in your wagon.
What night in her wagon?
Let's see, It was about four nights ago when...
- It's not true.
- Five nights ago?
It was four nights ago, but...
he's all confused, Sometimes he think I'm his mother.
I do not care if he thinks you're his father.
He did not hold you like a son.
I've been sick.
He hasn't eaten for days.
That's because of the arrow got shot in his leg.
his leg?
He was shot right in the...
Watch your language Baldy, there's a lady present.
That's not a fist of a sick man.
You are well, I'm well.
We duel now.
Get my gun.
A duel? Oh, No!
Oh. Don't worry about me,
everything going to be all right.
Why you...
I'll admit it ain't need but is handy.
Thanks.
Hey, Kronk.
Lend Baldy your six-shooter.
I will need but one bullet.
Well I intend to use them six of mine.
Oh, Don Andrea, Sam, don't, please.
Prep your jugs, folkss.
Grab your violins and your squeezeboxs.
Well, What's up, grandba?
Well, the biggst prize and the biggest bold,
and the biggest hole you can dig.
That's what's up.
We are citizens of the newst and biggst
state of the Union, Texas.
Get ready for the ceremony, folkss.
Here comes the United States cavalry.
The Cavalry! Oh!
Don, hand your gun, or they will shoot you.
- Hey. Doesn't that look like ...?
- It sure does.
- And if it is, This time...
- He sure won't.
Oh, run.
I refuse.
- How long can a man of honor ...
- They have many guns.
Oh, listen to what she...
You must be Lonetta.
Oh, please, Don Andrea, I don't want to
to be a widow before I'm bride.
Very well, I go.
But not because of you.
- Because of a woman's wish...
- I know.
- ... it's sacred.
- I know. I know. I know.
It is! It's Baldasar!
Ahead, air!
Was not much of a ceremony, was it?
Say, Phoebe Ann...
This fella Baldasar killed.
He wasn't a Cavalry, was he?
Oh. Too bad! Him fighting the Indians,
training longhorns, He was a good man.
We have to think of something real proud
to put on his tombstone.
Oh. That's right. You know I had
to shoot the man, and...
I kinda liked poor Baldy.
I have terrible feeling that I'll never
lay eyes over him again.
Come on, Miss Phoebe Ann,
Let me see you home, huh?
He was a wonderful person.
Now, and I will fight a man who
says different.
Mr. Hollis... Sam...
You're such a comfort to me.
Such a comfort.
"See and not believe".
Ahead, air!
Loud, air!
Ahead, air!
Now, you're sure there is nothing I can
do for you miss Phoebe Ann?
No, thank you.
Sam, see you a minute?
Will you excuse me, ma'am?
As long there won't be a flag raising,
we ought to get started roundup some longhorns.
You go on up the head, I will catch up with you.
But we will need every hand we can get, Sam.
The least we can
do for that brave boy
Is making his dream come true.
Well, that's the way it gotta be, men.
I don't care how hard we have to drive ourselves,
we're going to roundup every stray longhorn there is.
It's the least we can
do for good old Baldy.
That brave boy.
Alright, Hank, bring them in here.
Come on, get'em on.
Ahead, air!
Better lock gate tight.
What's eating you Kronk?
You let longhorn drink after two days,
Get wild again.
Wild?
They were any tamar that'd be locked in
the gate themselves.
Baldy say three days.
Anything Baldy can do in three days
I can do it in less.
Something's maybe even quicker than that.
Somethings, maybe never.
Floyd, Cy!
Get all the wagons and set'em up for
barricades. Move.
What the heck are you doing?
Try to make rain.
What for?
If Comanches get wet,
Maybe go home to dry up.
I don't mind to dance, but do you have to yell?
In war Indian always yell.
Why?
Why not?
Best brave shoot fire arrow into sky.
Signal Attack.
I give it all the bullets count.
Yeah. All the good Indian, dead Indian.
Kronk make joke.
Kronk, slip out there and see if you can find the Cavalry.
Last time see Cavalry head the Comanches hills.
Well, get going.
Many Comanches only one, me.
Don't worry, Kronk, all you've to do is
to keep your eyes open stay low.
How low?
Forget it.
Not bad.
Sam, I'm scared.
Scared? Who ain't?
I ain't sure what you're doing,
but keep on doing it.
Sam, the school!
Maybe the Cavalry will see the smoke.
He doesn't think so.
Ahead, air!
Lonetta, for two days
You help me run from them.
Yet, you speak very little.
I have said something that offended you?
Then why are you silent?
Indian woman keep much inside.
If you would, but tell me.
So be it.
I shall not ask.
Ask.
Then, there is something.
What is it?
A man looks at many things.
But sometimes he does not see
what is under his eyes.
That's true, Lonetta.
In myself have known such men.
A camp fire gives flame, smoke.
This you see.
Of course.
A fire inside gives no flame, nor smoke.
But it burns us hot.
A fire inside?
In me there is such a fire.
You don't see it, but it burns for you.
For me?
Stronger even than the fire
in the settlement.
What fire?
Comanches.
The soldiers!
Why they didn't see the smoke?
They have eyes only for your trail.
They hunt you like a coyote.
I must tell them of the danger.
No!
No, they will shoot you even
before you speak.
But if they hunt me, they will
follow me to the settlement.
And how will you escape?
If I don't go,
Phoebe Ann and the others will be killed.
If you do this you will be killed.
Have you no wish to live?
I wish to live but,
but what is life without honor?
What is honor without life?
Stay with me.
You do this because of her.
I did no less for you.
Ahead, air!
Not yet.
We get low on ammunition.
Not yet.
Not yet.
You wait untill I yell a command?
Me wait, finger not wait.
Alright! Now!
The gun empty.
Yell 'bang bang'.
For Comanches need Bullets, not jokes.
Her goes my last bullet.
Sam
Well, Phoebe Ann, it's been
nice know you.
Sam, that night in my wagon.
I wish you hadn't give up so easily.
I appreciate your thinking honey, but...
I sure can't say too much for your time.
Look out!
Some of you men, give a hand!
Ahead, air!
Hey, Rodney, what are we gonna do
about those Indians?
What Indians?
What?
Too... Too narrow.
Baldy spirit have to sleep standing up.
That's for the new Flag pole, Kronk.
Baldy's grave down by the corral.
The jury dug it before the trial started.
Attention!
But Rodney, you can't
go shoot a man just like that.
We gave him a fair trial, Phoebe Ann.
Fair? With you the judge
and Howard defending him?
Well, you wouldn't want a man
to go to trial without a lawyer, would you?
- Don Andrea.
- Hold it!
Please.
Indian way to say goodbye.
Forward, March!
But, I swear it was not his fault.
If Howard hadn't pushed the door,
Don Andrea would dream to bumping
Yancey out that window.
Now, Phoebe Ann, you know
perfectly well that no officer
of the United States cavalry would ever
let himself get caught in that position.
Of course not.
It's the most ridiculous story I ever heard.
Of all, You're the Stupid clumsy...!
Howard.
I told you that he
attacked him from the rear.
Guards, release the prisoner!
Thank you, Phoebe Ann.
And thank you, my friends.
There is one matter I must be dealt with
before we celebrate.
Due to certain circumstances,
of a which I had no control
It unfortunately has been impossible
to give you the satisfaction
to which you on time.
Polite talk for:
Put gun were mouth is.
Well, Ain't no sense in
wasting a good grave.
I ain't digging no hole with the bullets flying.
Out of the way everybody!
Finish digging that hole, sergeant.
Sergeant?
But Rodney...
And what was that, Corporal?
Nothing, Captain.
Ten paces.
Ten paces?
That is customary.
Do you wish to
give the command to begin or shall I?
I don't know what you got in mind, Baldy,
But I'm here for a shoot out.
Precisely. You take ten steps that way,
I take ten steps this way, then
we turn and...
Turn, Steps, I didn't sign
here for square death.
Now which end of town you wanna come from?
End of town?
You quit stalling.
You want to come from that end or yonder?
No, you stand as so,
I stand so and...
Back with back?
Now, what kind of shoot out is that?
Please, Sam Holis, I had dueled many times
in Spain and I'm...
This ain't Spain. It's Texas.
Even a simple duel you can't perform in a
civilized manner.
We've had civilized kill around here for years.
I come from one end
of the town, like this.
And you come from the other and
when you get the itch you draw.
We walk all the way there,
then back here,
when we all already here?
Foolish!
What foolish about it?
That's the way we always do it.
Why?
Because that's the way
it's always done in the west.
There is no need to shout.
Even in death, one can
still be a gentleman.
Which end of town
do you want to come from?
You truley wish to walk all this?
Yes!
What are you waiting for?
For you to start.
Baldy, now you and me, we...
we've been doing a hunk of living together and...
I don't exactly feel like shooting you.
I too have little desire to
shoot holes for you, Sam Hollis.
Yeah, all that bleeding and... messy.
I agree.
What do you propose?
Well, I don't know.
If you only hadn't
slapped me in front of Kronk.
Ah, your pride.
This I understand.
Perhaps if you were to slap me.
This would satisfy you?
Oh, no, even things up fine.
My chick is at your disposal.
The glove.
Sorry.
I didn't slap you so hard.
It wasn't hard,
You hit me a lot harder.
No, I only slapped you so.
And how hard did I slap you?
You slapped me so.
That's a lie.
I didn't slap any harder than this.
Not true, it was more like this.
Are you all right, honey?
Oh. Yes darling.
Now that You are safe.
Oh. Lonetta, my love.
Your face.
Help!
Hey! Get me out of here!
Hey! Help here!
Every time dig hole,
black poison show up.
Now have to move town.
Texas
Oh. If it was up to me, I give it back to the Indians.
who wants it?
They may rob me and loot me,
they can stab me or,
even shoot me,
I'll be smile and even glad beeing there,
Across the river to Texas.
Across the river to Texas.
