You
and the bees and the powers and the bees to your.
There is a tree house in the meadow
below the mountain.
It's the perfect place for
I
covered bridge at Cripple Creek where the horses always stopped between
the tree house and the covered bridge. That's how mom won
in the country
and the bees and the flowers and the bees.
There are roses on the trellis
and the scent of the,
the clinging vine is jealous on the fence across the way.
There's a great big,
he
used to sing.
I love can
and the bees and the powers and the bees till you're up to
Lord. To goodness
not again.
Ok.
How did
Drago
Curly
make seven times this month? He come home swo
676 once was his birthday. They don't count. Give him a buggy.
Didn't have anything for breakfast but two Roe eggs and the mug of honey. No,
Carly.
Yes, boss.
Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot you
get out of here. But
in
good morning,
good
morning,
Carlos. What are you doing up there?
I hope I get it this time. Mr mcclintock,
my brothers, they got the big hats already.
All right. Let him have at it.
Get over. Did you only let me drive? You promised me you would sometime? No. Yeah.
Boss. You better watch that. Turn on the road.
You gotta kill both of us on these days.
Ok.
No,
you got cattle in the back, boss.
Yeah.
Give it up.
Well,
keep you going 15 cents a pound all the way to Kansas City.
Now, boss. There's one old pensioner. I wish you would pass up
bunny.
Yeah.
She
knew where I'd seen his face before.
An old time. He's just been around town a couple of years.
Oh, you have no milk of human kindness.
Morning, Mr
Minnick
morning bunny.
You see, you're in good health.
Never felt better. Contrary to what you may hear me.
My kidneys ain't what they used to be.
The liver's been leaving me bill.
I
go,
uh,
hello, Ben.
Hey mic.
They go throw that in the buggy. Yes, sir.
This grubby bunch of sooners, huh?
They are at that.
But it ought to make Douglas happy
lining his pockets with land fees.
What are we gonna do?
I don't know what you're gonna do. Ben
me, I do nothing. 200 families,
quarter of beef a week for family.
They last two years. That can be a sizable number.
I got 20 head to
one of any other brand on the mesa verde. I'm not hollering
and some of us haven't got all the money in the world
and some of us ain't old and tired and feel like being put upon
you. Interest me. Young Ben. Go on.
So the first time I find one of our hides,
we in our brand hung on one of them settlers fences.
I aim to kill me a plow. Boy.
You do what you want m Clinic.
We'll do what we want.
Fellas. My age generally call me GW or
mic
youngsters call me Mr mcclintic.
All right, Mr M Clinic.
Not because I'm afraid of.
You're the big he out of this country.
And I reckon a fellow of my age should call you Mr
full grown, uh GW.
He's a half owner of the spread.
I made him a full partner the day the doc gave me the long face.
Well, you want him to vote the first time this territory becomes a state, don't you?
Of course I do.
These settlers get burned out.
There'll be a lot of hollering that this country's too wild to be a state.
We'll go on, be in the territory some more
with a lot of political appointees running in according to
what they learned in some college where they think that cows are something,
you milk.
Indians are something in front of a cigar store.
I'm looking to you the whole young Ben down.
I'll do what I can
come on over to the house once in a while. We'll rack up a few hands instead
he,
after that, it'll be just fine.
Here we go.
You are.
It's a nice morning, ain't it? Boss?
Everybody's entitled to their own opinion like that again. Hey,
it's that little cheer. You
about 1000 head. I figure they'll bring about 1000, 250.
They're not as fat as I'd like to ship.
They all off the North Range
settlers.
Every one of them with a plow and a Bible. Not the slightest idea what terra is for it.
Drago,
drag out that hog leg. Yes, sir. Get me some attention.
Yeah. People,
people, people, people.
Oh,
I'm
just
people
on
around.
That's good.
I'm a clinic.
You, people planned a homestead and farm the mace of
Erie.
Yes, sir. The government give us each 160 acres.
The government never gave anybody anything. Some years back a lot like you came in.
You had a pretty good first year, good summer,
easy winter.
But the next year the last rain was in February
and by June, even the jackrabbits had sense enough to get off to mesa
folks. Do you know who that is?
That's mcclintock,
George Washington, mcclintock.
I told him that Douglas,
he controls the water rights on 200 square miles of range.
You know that lumber. You got
it. Cave Miss land
cut by his logger and milled in his mills. Douglas.
I come close to killing you a couple of times when we were younger.
Saddens me I didn't. Can you imagine a man who owns all that?
Oh. And mines too? I forgot to mention that.
All that.
And he's begrudging poor people. A measly, a measly
160 acres. That right, Mr mcclintock.
You begrudge us a little free land. There's no such thing as free land.
You make these homesteads go, you'll have earned every acre of it,
but you just can't make them go in the mace of Verdi
God made that country for buffalo
serves pretty well for cattle,
but it hates the plow
and even the government should know that you can't farm 6000 ft above sea level.
Any trouble Mr mcclean.
No trouble, Jeff
it.
How about you? Douglas
Douglas?
Just plain Douglas E
and you call him Mr mcclean.
Why?
Well, Douglas, I guess it's because he earned it
there.
No,
Mr
Minnick.
Yeah,
I'm a good hand with cattle. Mr
Minnick. Like a job.
No, you look strong enough.
You come in with those sewers.
Well, yes, sir, but we don't have a homestead and they choose you.
Yeah,
tough life, ain't it funny?
Hey,
what future being a farmer around these parts,
ladies, this is the finest Chantilly lace available anywhere.
Chan, the
Mr
Birnbaum.
Well, believe me, it's the best. Oh,
excuse me, please look around. Take your time.
Drago.
I got 1000 Havana cigars and 12 of those hats for you over there.
Them fair big hats ain't gonna last long the way
some folks have been different into that Redeye these days.
Uh
Oh,
good morning. Cw, good morning. I stole some stick candy.
Please help yourself. Come on,
Davy.
You can forget about saddling up the horse. Come in here.
Problem.
Yes.
Well, if I were blacks I'd move Queen's Bishop to King four.
Yeah, you might be right.
You know, I just starting to work this out when the letter came,
the letter.
What happened? Don't you want me?
Morning Mr mcclintic, morning, Davy. You being here, saved me a trip?
Oh,
that hat and suit of clothes you picked out for my birthday?
Well,
instead of this cowboy hat,
I'd like to have this one if it's, um,
all right with you, sir.
It's all right with me, Davy.
Of course,
that looks like the kind of a hat a fella would wear down main street to start a fight.
Oh, I don't need a city hat for that.
All I have to do is walk down the street and
some wiseacre will call me an Indian and just like that.
The fights aren't Davey
the letter. It's for you.
And you are an Indian.
Yes, I know. I'm an Indian
but I'm also the fastest runner in town.
I've got a college education and I'm the railroad telegrapher. But does anybody say
hello, college man or hello runner or? Hello telegrapher? No, not even hello.
Not head Davy.
It's always let the Indian. Do you go out in the store and help the ladies.
All right, I'm also a bookkeeper,
part-time clerk.
Always let the Indian do it.
The lady brought that out here this morning,
asked for it to be taken out to the home ranch for you.
Handsome lady. Kind of tall with red hair
called me Mr Birnbaum
just as if she'd never seen me before and as if that
veil that covered her face would keep me from recognizing her.
I thought she was in New York or Europe or someplace.
So did I
jake.
You better throw in a couple of extra cases of the boss's favorite bourbon.
That stuff. Sure gets used up fast out at our place. Which reminds me
you better start tapering off,
huh?
Catherine's in town
Katie
by reason.
Good morning.
What? He was the cliff.
Good morning.
Good
morning,
darling.
All
right.
Why aren't you do?
What are you doing in here? Why aren't you out at the desk? Help
out the bartender. Yeah, I see a busy day.
Give me the key to room 17. What?
17? And don't advertise it
here. They come, Mr mclennan
that on my beer, whiskey
day off
off day.
I wonder what he's so preoccupied about. Haven't you heard? No. What?
Katie's back in town, Katie? Yes, dear, the social arbiter.
Well, hi, Sonny.
Good morning.
He sure is a polite one. Mr mclennan.
I don't want to bother you. I'm sorry, boy, I told you no job.
Katherine
George Washington mclintock.
I thought you'd want this
first dig of the Spur.
But who am I to upset your plans?
Don't you feel kind of silly?
I never feel silly.
It's because you have no sense of humor.
Why couldn't we sit down in the hotel dining room and
talk about whatever it is you want to talk about?
Or why couldn't you just come out of the house
and have everybody know that we're meeting.
Everybody knows and what's the difference? We're married
and that is something I should like to change.
You know, the answer, Katie.
That isn't why you sent for me.
Let's get to the rat killing.
That's just the kind of remark that's always endeared you to me.
Let us open the discussion very well. Our daughter is coming home in a few days
rather she's coming here.
It was just a slip of the tongue that made me refer to this ugly Hamlet as home.
Our daughter. Is it so hard to say her name? It's Becky Rebecca.
I hate that name
anyway.
She's coming home
and I hope to persuade you to let her live with me
part of the time in the capital, part of the time in New York. And
of course, Newport during the season,
you're whistling in the wind. K
if she stays here,
she'll become just as crude and as vulgar as all of these kind.
And if she goes your way, she'll be all showing No, stay.
No, go, Kate.
I
hate you.
Oh, how I hate you.
Half the people in the world are women.
Why does it have to be you? That's turned
me.
You.
That's the story.
I saw your picture in the paper at the governor's ball.
You were dancing with a governor.
At least he's a gentleman.
I doubt that
you have to be a man first before you're a gentleman.
He misses on both counts.
Hey, Sonny,
you gonna ask him again?
Nope.
Hey, boy,
if you got a pocket of pride, you got
a,
you better listen to an expert, honey, I'm telling you. You got to growl human
nature. Get some every time
Mr
leave me alone.
Everybody does it one way or another
about that job. Mr
Mick.
I already told you, son, I've got no need for farmers or use for
just one minute. Mr
mcclean.
My father died last month. That's how come we lost our homestead.
I've got a mother and a little sister to feed.
I need that job badly.
What's your name?
Devlin Warren?
Well, you got a job, son. See my home ranch farm and he's over at the garral
step down off of that carriage. Mr
Pull that hog leg.
I've been punched many a time in my life but never for hiring anybody.
Uh I don't know what to say.
I never begged before.
Turn my stomach.
I suppose I should have been grateful. You gave me the job gave,
well, you got it all wrong.
I don't give jobs. I hire men.
You intend to give this man a full day's work, don't you? Boy,
you mean you're still hiring me, Mr mclean?
Well, yes, sir. I mean, I'll certainly deliver a fair day's work
for that. I'll pay you a fair day's wage.
You won't give me anything and I won't give you anything.
We both hold up our heads.
Where do you live? The settlers in Canada are down by the mine.
That's your plug.
Yes, sir. We'll hop on him and we'll go get your gear.
Yeah.
Five
a
critic
morning, Mr Poor
boy.
To,
I'm sure that all you fine people are interested in knowing just what, uh,
portion of this new land will be your new home.
Oh, Jones and mcallister. Since you've been more or less the leaders of our group.
I'd like to have you come up and, uh,
uh, check the exact location.
Ok. A minute, sir.
Go up to that boy and give him $30.
Tell him M clinic pays these riders a month in advance from the looks of things.
They could sure use it to
mom.
It's Mr Drago
one.
Well, and what do we owe this visit from the cattle baron?
I'm gonna touch a hangover bureaucrat. Don't push me.
Go back.
See, those are Indians. Are there Indians in his homestead land, friendly Indians.
My boy
back
then.
Oh, running Buffalo.
Oh, Macklin.
One
time,
we'll all get drunk together
and it's gonna be a lot longer time
because it's against the law and you're with a sheriff. And if I got my hands full,
they came into town to meet the train, the old Indian chiefs are coming home.
I heard they'd been pardoned.
They don't know when it's arriving this week, next week or next month.
So, in the meantime, I've got to do something with them.
Could I cut out a couple of ahead of your steers to feed them?
Otherwise some of these settlers milk cows are gonna disappear.
That's right. Macklin.
Cut out whatever you need. Sheriff.
Are you gonna cast these savages with all these settlers?
You're asking for trouble,
Mr Douglas.
I already have plenty of trouble. Please stay for my back.
Run in
blo
bring your people over to the place live.
No.
Hello,
Mr Mackle
tiny mouth. It's nice to see you.
You wouldn't believe it now, but 20 years ago, she was a mighty handsome maid.
20 years ago. You thought so too, Mr Douglas.
How
come?
It was just like this? I had a dead beat on old run in Buffalo
and my sharp 50 caliber misfired
that back. That trouble in the forties. Remember,
I remember, hey,
you won't see something come directly from him.
Thank you.
Where'd you get? This boy's mama baked them?
You think the same thing I am.
She's a widow on the boss and she's got a long hard road.
Hi.
I always said you had
a
mr mclennan.
This is my mother.
Your mother
and my sister.
Pleased to meet you, Mr mcclintock, ma'am.
This, here's my boss and he has few choice words to say about your biscuits.
I
just.
Yes, Mr mcclintock.
Yeah,
they're great.
Well, you old Kenney reprobate. How about
it? Find me.
I kill myself.
I'm not talking about firing you. I'm retiring. You,
you've been rustling food for us for 30 years.
We're gonna put you out to pasture. All you'll have to do is give advice.
Be one of the family.
I tell myself
I may save you the trouble of ching.
You kill yourself. I'll cut off your pigtail and you ain't never gonna get to heaven.
I'll be one of her family.
I give you my solemn word
but you call me family.
Drink too much is
get in fights,
yell all the time.
Cut off his pigtail.
All right. All right. I'll be one of her family. You
better.
You
better.
You
better.
Mhm.
I hope everything is satisfactory.
This is such a big house. It'll take me a while to get used to things.
Now, please don't hesitate to tell me if anything is wrong.
No business.
I don't bite is fine. Everything out nicely.
Ma'am.
Best apple pie I ever had. Curly's right. Ma'am hated to leave that last bite.
Shall we celebrate with a drink? Carla,
come here. And help me with the dish
Alice. You won't have to.
Yes.
All right
bitch
in
now I wash and you get some dry. I got
you.
Mhm.
Don't seem possible. One woman could use all them clothes.
You keep a civil tongue in your unprepossessing face. Yes, ma'am.
And unload by baggage, please. Yes, ma'am.
By the way, what does that word? Unprepossessing mean
MS mcclintock.
Oh, hello. Carlos run and help the driver with my luggage.
I couldn't trust anyone else in this house to do anything correctly.
Luggage. Give him a hand. Curly.
Yes, boss,
Mr mclean.
Are you moving back in? Yes, but nothing has changed except my place of residence
and I'd be willing to put up with savages
rather than be denied the company of my daughter.
And I'm proving that by moving in here, Mr mcclintic since it's my first day.
Would you excuse me if I go ahead? Oh,
Catherine, this is uh, Deb Warren.
He joined the outfit today, please, man.
Thank you.
How refreshing
a polite young man here.
Where did he come from? He's a farmer, a farmer,
Kate.
Welcome home. What on earth are you doing in that idiotic looking outfit?
Don't you dare call me Kate?
That's my but and suit, I'm Butlin for the boss and I'm sorry, Catherine,
that Kate kind of slipped out from the times I remembered you as being nice people.
Oh,
what
a
are you going to stand there with that? Stupid.
Look on your face while the hired help insults your wife.
He's just ignorant.
He doesn't know any better than to tell the truth.
And I can't help this stupid.
Look, I started acquiring it as you gained in social prominence,
Mrs mcclean.
Where do you want? I should.
What? Put him in the master bedroom?
Yes.
But move Mr mcclintock's things into another room or the one back of the stairs would
be best so that he can't wake up the entire household when he comes home every night
just before daybreak.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, excuse me.
Here's your cigars, Mr mcclintock. I am Mrs mcclintock. Ok.
I mean, Katherine, this is the,
this is the lady does the cooking for us, Mrs Warren, Mrs mcclintock.
How do you do that?
Very pleased to meet you, Mrs mcclintock. Very pleased. Likewise.
You see,
I just came to work here today and I guess I
jumped to the conclusion that this was a bachelor's household.
It is. And then again, it isn't,
I will explain. So everything will be quite clear. Mrs Wallace,
Mrs Warren,
Mrs Warren.
It has been a bachelor's household for quite some time
and it will be again just as soon as I am out of here,
which will be as quickly as I can make
arrangements to take my daughter back east with me.
You see,
she's coming home from school in a few days and then we'll be off together
and you can return to conducting yourself as
you consider proper in a bachelor's household.
Katie shut up
until then I am mistress in this house
and I will give the orders.
Are you gonna say nothing?
Poached
egg tea? Toast? Oh,
GW. As soon as my things are put away, I want to talk to you about Rebecca.
Yes, Mrs mcclintock. Indeed. Mrs M.
Of course,
Mrs
the toast. Lightly browned and unbuttered.
Of course, ma'am
Miss
Boss. Where you think you're going?
I just remembered I got a date but she said she wanted to have a talk. I heard
good evening lamb. Good evening Mr Mac.
Hey, Mr Mack, what does unprepossessing mean?
I was called at once. Lim
looked it up in the dictionary.
It's best. You don't know what it means.
Thank you.
Hey,
what am I gonna tell her when she asks why you win?
When ain't dad tell the truth?
She wouldn't expect that from you anyway.
Where's Mr mcclintock? Gone? There he goes, burning his last bridge.
You see a yellow streak about a foot wide, running up down his backbone
on Mr
Minnick.
He ain't afraid of nothing.
I once thought that
Drago,
yes, ma'am was that he took off lid out.
I told him I wanted to talk to him, ma'am.
I was standing right over here when you said it
and I was standing right out down those front steps.
When he walked up to the horse grabbed a hunk of man stepped up on him in Sunk Spur.
Where did he go?
Last time I saw him, he was going east.
But you know him, he's allowed to go north, south or west.
Get me a carriage. Yes, ma'am. But,
but what,
maybe you shouldn't follow him into maybe where he's going into.
What does that mean?
But I wish I hadn't said it.
I'll just get the carriage. Yes, ma'am.
What happened?
You to Bruce
Bruce? She hit it up.
She wants to go to town, but Mr mcclintic never said anything to me about it.
Look young fella. I'm the right.
I'm the ramrod around this place and you better start giving me a. Yes, sir.
You're gonna get the roof of this house pulled down on your head.
Yes, sir.
Hello lady.
I
was
clinic
room
a
speak please.
Hello, bunny. How is everything? Fine? Fine, Mr
Minnick.
I'll get you next time.
Look who's here
to be Mac.
Same as usual
lady
evening GW
jake,
wrong move. Uh,
chest problem. Queen's in danger.
Do
that.
What,
what?
Oh,
I suppose you can do that.
Camille.
You're on your own,
Mr mcl.
I'm Camille
Camille Rebo.
I'm, uh,
learning the game of chef
thought it would give me something to pass the time.
See, I have nothing to do all day long and I,
I just remembered something
Catherine.
I didn't hear you. Come in Mr mcclintock. I told you that I wanted to talk to you.
Not Now,
uh, could I get you a glass of sherry Catherine? Oh,
thank you, Mr Birnbaum.
I could use one.
I came into town behind a runaway team.
Drago.
Never could handle horses.
It was that young man whose mother pretends to be your cook, Catherine, your wife.
Ok. Thank you Mr Birnbaum.
Now, Mr mcclintock we have an awful lot to talk over.
First thing I learned about Indian fighting was to wait for daylight.
What has our conversation got to do with Indian fighting?
Indian fighting is good experience for our kind of conversations.
It'll wait, Katherine
evening. Sarah
Mr mclennan.
We had quite a ride out here. Oh, I finally got that team settled down.
It's your move.
No, it's your move. I just castle.
Now, look here.
You're not gonna sit here all night long and play
chess when the matter of our daughter remains unsettled.
I am gonna remain here and play chess and the matter of our daughter is settled.
She stays such stunning,
Catherine.
You're here.
Oh,
there is a mess after that awful r
no, no,
it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time
and it seems to me the last time I saw you, your hair was a little darker. No,
it's a funny thing that tricks a man's memory will play. Huh?
Mr Birnbaum.
I think that you've completely lost your mind.
You have done something to your hair. I have not.
I had a been none of your
business.
I'm certainly not going to put myself in the place of those blondie tips
that you seem to prefer.
Take it.
Uh? Oh,
f
it,
oh,
good morning.
You fellow still at it all night,
or mcclintock? Never quits.
But, uh, Birnbaum
has to, besides the game is over. You got me?
Oh, no, Mr Birnbaum.
You've still got a good game.
Oh, you play chess, please take off
pretty good.
Fair.
Well, looks like I won't have to come into town. Always to get a game.
Remember I'm a bad loser.
It's your move,
miss her.
Ok,
good morning.
What?
Good morning. All right.
A
cup of coffee.
Oh, yes, thanks, Jake.
You're welcome, Catherine
got any cream,
canned cow's milk
and do
good old condensed milk.
That reminds me
I was cleaning out my desk the other day
and I found something I wanted to return to you.
Here it is.
It's a medal.
Remember
from the president of the United States of America
to first sergeant, Michael Patrick
Ioli
for bravery above and beyond the call of duty.
It's your papa.
It reminds me of the first time I ever saw you
was over 17 years ago,
you walked into my store,
not much bigger than the bundle you were carrying.
And in the bundle was the most beautiful baby I ever saw.
And was she hungry?
You walked all the way from Superstition Creek
just to trade me that medal for a case. Of canned milk.
GW was off somewhere as usual
fighting Indians
Sharon
chair.
Well, have you seen the sheriff
very early for him to try his house? Why didn't I think of that?
Looks like burn bonds is open.
Maybe somebody in here knows.
So there you are, Sheriff,
I told you you were headed for trouble.
Trouble. I want to know by whose authority you let those Indians stay in town.
Those savages are wards of the government.
And I am the representative of,
I told sheriff Lord that he could put them up down to the clay side
because the town is named after him. He thinks he owns it.
Well, you check the books in the recorder's office and you'll find,
I do own a fair piece of it
agar.
If you knew anything about Indians,
you know that they're doing their level best to
put up with our so called benevolent patronage.
In spite of the nincompoops that have been put in charge of it.
Those Indians need my permission to leave the reservation.
Those chiefs have been giving orders all their lives.
It's pretty hard for them to understand that they have to
hold up their hand like a schoolboy in a classroom.
The law is very clear. I told you you'd get no satisfaction from these people, but
we'll get the girl back, girl,
the girly Indians kidnap. But don't worry,
I armed the settlers and set them to rounding up those red devils
What is this about a girl, Billy Jones, one of the settlers daughters,
Andens kidnapper.
That's ridiculous.
And you turned loose a lot of farmers with shotguns. I certainly did. You're insane.
Let's go. Sheriff
Mr Douglas M
mclennan.
Much as I hate to agree with GW about anything.
You haven't changed a bit. You're still an hysterical fool.
Mhm.
I'm in town. I got worried but I thought maybe Katie shot you. Not yet. Drago,
but it took restraint.
Wait a minute.
You better take a going
along. Not that he'll be much help
Drago.
Have him on a horse
just a minute.
Can't drive.
Yes.
Yeah.
With the make
with them
Hagar.
Will you stop showing off and getting this bloody Mercy
me
station?
That horse is a little green.
Hello?
Let's go.
Just where do you think you're going? Don't use that range, boss.
Tone of voice with me.
Hello.
Headed for Mr. Poor boy's mind
to mount up some riders.
Hi, boss.
I don't like it, Mr mcclean.
I don't like it one bit.
What don't you like? They're planning to hang an Indian?
Yeah. Very funny. Where's the whiskey?
Uh,
hold that.
Not so fast, Mr
Boss of the whole country
unless you want to wear a big hole in your middle.
How long is GW gonna let that Che
Chalker push him around?
That cheat
Chalker has a sawed off shotgun.
How do you know she didn't wander off someplace or meet some fellas.
What are you saying?
That I didn't raise my girl, right?
That she'd wander off all night with some man.
There's a lot of things I'm not saying to you, Mr Well,
you got a sawed off shotgun in my middle.
But how do you know this Indian had anything to do with it? She's gone, ain't she?
She's gone.
Yeah,
I'm over here.
Been looking for me pa
where you been go,
young Ben took me for a sunrise ride
and the horse wandered away.
You come down over there.
She's telling the truth. Mr
Minnick, we wasn't doing nothing. Well, that's not important right now.
The important thing is that you don't draw that hog leg
or this will be worse in Dodge City on Saturday night.
You get on back to the wagon.
I'll tend to you later
now for this young whippersnapper. How no harm has been done.
The young man here is one of the nicest boys in the territory.
So, just put down that shotgun. Unless
the f with Mike
now
we'll all calm down. Well, she's just a little excited. I know.
I know I'm gonna use good judgment.
I haven't lost my temper in 40 years, but Pilgrim,
you caused a lot of trouble this morning.
Might have got somebody killed and somebody ought to belt you in the mouth.
But I won't,
I won't.
The hell I was
mechanic rider.
Ah.
Oh, ma
them
for me
pro,
I'm al
nice. Some party
do you think you are? I ought to. What?
Yeah.
No, I know.
I know.
Yeah.
Good
morning
to work with you.
What, what are you gonna do with my glasses?
Not
stop
that.
All right
out of this, Jake, it's everybody's war.
Yeah.
Wh
question
but,
oh, Malan,
thanks.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Very funny.
Sounds like,
hey,
well, I swan
away.
Oh,
yeah.
His lap.
College for this. You don't need college.
Damn.
Come
on
you.
Good morning to you, Mrs mccluer.
What do you think?
Sorry?
I
mean, you
wait
for
it.
Well, it's pretty hard to control your self
control.
That's
cool.
Oh my God.
That,
but no whiskey.
We go home.
You and your friends.
Well, we at least saved your hand.
Where is everybody?
For heaven's sakes?
Oh,
Will you never learn how to handle a team? Yes, ma'am. I'll sure try.
I, my family, you wanna lose your pigtail. I lose face
as long
as you
can. You wanna lose more on that?
Ok.
Yes,
we could be a
big help to one another. Like, what may I ask?
Well, we could hoist the mud off of each other.
We used to have quite good times doing that sort of thing.
There are a lot of things we used to do.
Good night, Mr
M.
Any luck.
What are you talking about? I mean, divorce. She still wanted to.
Yeah.
You know, something, women are funny. She fought like a wildcat.
On your side out there this afternoon. Come home. She slams the door in your face.
That divorce business. Is that what you get when you pay a woman not to live with you?
That's about it.
Some women I've noted be worth it.
You know, if we had any moral character,
we wouldn't be standing here covered with mud, drinking
when we should be washing
GW
Drago.
MS warn these biscuits.
Thank you
Drago.
Um,
good morning Mrs Warren. Good morning Mr mcclintock.
Breakfast for the boss.
If that's the way you want it. Mr mcclintock.
One poached egg
tea,
toast, lightly browned and un.
Why Mrs mcclintock? You have a black eye. I do.
Oh, Paul
and Becky's coming home today
and that's not all, there's a little something we'd better get settled.
There are no men listening now so we can be ourselves. Oh, sure.
I let you get away with all that guff the other night.
But now that we're alone when I want the opinion of the hired help, I'll ask for it.
You know, you could wind up with two black eyes. What? Oh,
I realize you had to put on that big act.
We always have to just before we get ready to forgive them
generally for something they haven't done.
But you and I both know that's just to keep them from getting the idea.
They, uh, run things
mcclintock. Give you that black eye.
No,
nobody gave it to me. I want it,
find it
morning, Mrs Beach. Mr Beach.
The.
Mhm.
About
ok.
Why Miss Becky? Welcome home.
Hi there.
Good to see you again.
It's been too long years. I guess I'm gonna have to stop calling you tomboy. Becky
mama.
Oh,
d,
I wasn't sure you'd be. Oh, I've been here a few days. Becky.
I've bought you three of the most beautiful dresses you want.
Did you bring your old uncle a coming home present? Sure. Did. What is it? A
mustache cup?
And
what did you get me? Who
scam
me? A
pony?
They ever like a saddle, broke the stand drown tie and the counter.
What are you doing with Mr Douglas's too?
Mr Douglas has a fat
had a little accident.
I brought you a whole shipment of liquor and sticks.
But now that I've seen how much you've grown.
I think we better exchange him for a couple of bolts of dress goods. Thank you.
Oh,
the mayor was gonna be here but he had to
go to the territorial capital on a horse theft matter.
But I'm gonna give his speech.
Oh, and don't worry about the mayor.
I'm sure that he can find a bill of sale for the horse.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are here to welcome the fairest.
What am I doing?
We are here to welcome back
the prettiest girl that was ever born in mcclintock
or in any part of the territory.
Hey, Davy,
you get something for you.
Dark mer
the
junk. He told me to let him ride. So I locked him in here.
I've had my scalp a long time
and I aim to keep it.
You
take,
you
have
a
right.
And now she's come back to us.
Gone are the pigtails.
But the freckles are still on the prettiest face that was ever born in mcclintock.
I,
hey, that's Puma.
And it's true.
The government did turn them loose. Good old pool.
I'll never forget
when he brought gwh,
your father had a hole in his chest and
100 and four fever. Of course, they weren't very man at me about it.
He came past the house at a high lope and
threw him on the doorstep
and you do remember them good old days, don't you, Katie
Catherine?
And
hey,
ya,
hey, my friends,
ya.
Hey,
ho,
a honored enemy
does
Big mcclintock forget that. Also. Blood brother. I'll never forget that.
All wound. Does it hurt still? I feel it when it comes on to rain
an inch higher.
And I wouldn't have had to worry our big mcclintock that was remembered fire.
We return with news. Our people have more trouble.
You see, I learn good English. Now, Pete mcclintock
learned in White man's jail,
but we would have you talk our course at government hearing.
I understand that Governor Humphries is going to preside at that meeting.
Yes, Puma, I will translate your wishes. Mr Mick
could I impose on you to use your Comanche to tell these chief chief of the Comanches
and he speaks English very well.
Oh, well,
your people will have to follow my instructions to the letter.
It is the law of the letter.
Hold out in just a minute.
Well, for heaven's sakes.
Ok.
You
wait
here, honey, I'll get some,
go to the
clinic.
Surely.
Will I see you. That be.
Of course, Dave,
you can have the first day.
I don't want any sister of mine talking to strangers
is not a strangely clerk in burn.
He's an alien.
Don you drago.
Now, look what you've done,
baby. This is Devlin Warren. He works for you.
Papa Dev, this is Miss back in my clinic.
Those are my things.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh, I don't know you anywhere, Miss Becky.
What do you mean?
Oh, I mean, you look so much like your mother or even prettier.
Oh, Mr Warren.
Mother's much prettier than I am. Many a fight started with words like him.
Come on, get in the
book.
Hello Ching.
We got celli pie for dinner. I'm not cooking.
No, he's not. Junior.
Yes, Miss Becky. You remember Junior Douglas, mama? Of course. How's college?
Valedictorian? 95? Congratulations.
Oh, Mr and Mrs Douglas, we will see you at the party, of course. Oh, delighted.
Well, it'll be pretty hard to keep young men away.
Yes, sir.
Go.
Yes,
boss
bag.
It's all on it. GW,
you remember young junior.
Oh, yes. Like father like son.
Oh
Mr mcclintock.
I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous and
asking for the honor of calling on Miss Rebecca.
Well, there she is. Ask her yourself. Thank you, sir,
Jing. Now I'm gonna get fired. Get up out of here. Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah. What
like father like son.
What did he mean? Matthew.
Come on. Ching. Grab a root and growl.
Ning. Do
go
on.
Well, you're doing a good job, Miss mcclintock. Thank you,
dad.
When you're finished there, go over and help Drago with the beer cakes.
Yes, mom.
Could you come and help me a minute?
I certainly was surprised to hear you went to college. Why?
I don't know.
Junior says Purdue's a good college for a backwater place like Indiana.
Well, he did. Indeed. Oh, could you do this? I can't reach it.
Why didn't you finish college?
Lack of funds.
My father got sick and he had to come out west.
So he took out a homestead.
You know, your mom's sure cute.
It's too bad. You didn't inherit her eyes.
Well, you'd been lucky if you'd inherited a few things from your father.
Oh, really?
For instance,
it's common sense, for instance, common sense. Yeah.
You don't see him being fooled by some dude like junior. Douglas.
Junior's not a dude.
He's nifty.
This needs a woman's touch.
Besides
he got a letter at college. What sport?
Glee club. Very strenuous.
Oh,
don't you dare hug me?
I have no intention of hugging you.
Hello.
Right.
The ladies all look lovely, Catherine.
No, this is a real fine party. Oh, thank you, Ben.
Of course, we had to invite everybody.
Just everybody.
GW. But this one's mine.
Well,
thank you, Mrs Warren. I guess I'll have to be a good host in my own home.
Well, the next one's yours, Mr Mick.
Thank you
Winter.
Um
Drago. Go and do what I told you to do. Oh Katie Catherine and do as you're told.
No Drago do this. Drago.
Do that.
Yeah, people, people, people
this Douglas fella. Drago.
Yes, ma'am.
Matt Douglas Junior is going to bring you folks.
I'm the ladies terpsichorean dance steps, brand new.
Brought by him directly from New York City.
All right, Mr
Fla
give me a whiskey. Put Williams eye ball
off. What? Just turn a 10 G
party boss.
We'll run out of whiskey. I can take your
Sure.
Came
in
and you still got any ideas about asking my sister to dance.
Get up and we can do this all over again.
Yes,
that's not your father
but that burn bo.
He's your
man. Not your son. Look, you fall in fair and square.
I don't think it was so fair and square.
Or you want to take up where he left off. If I did, you wouldn't find it so easy.
We've had enough of this. But
when are you gonna quit walking away? Just as soon as we're out of sight of the party?
The lesson I learned back home. Don't fight in front of women.
Oh, we're out of sight now. So we are
such vulgarity.
Someone should do something about it.
You're right.
Absolutely right.
You all right, young Ben.
How are you, Mr mclennan?
Pretty fancy fighting for a country boy.
Two years at Purdue. Mr mcclean
on the boxing team.
I never thought any farmer could whip me.
You sure did.
Let me get him cleaned up, get him some water. Jake.
You get yourself cleaned up.
Go ask that girl for a dance. Who?
Oh,
to the, this one?
Where is he? I
finding that young whippersnapper.
Where is that farmer boy? Where is he?
Where is he? GW.
Oh, so you're the young farmer boy that whipped my nephew.
Well, I'm faunt Leroy's sage. Young Ben's uncle.
Well, I'm no farmer, but if you're young Ben's uncle, yes, I whipped him
and you're intruding.
What's intruding mean butting in?
Oh, so he's insulting me?
Well,
then I got another reason for Waller and
besides on account of him thrashing my nephew,
young band.
Well, Roy, you can't get mixed up in these youngsters, quarrel family honor.
I can't have said a farmer whipped a sage. You're twice his size.
Don't let that bother you, Mr
Minnick.
Mr Fat
Leroy insists I'll just have to teach him the same lesson.
Yeah.
Say
sorry, young fella.
Need to have to do that, young fella.
No hard feelings. Not yet.
Not yet. What
I mean? That isn't all. Now, wait a minute,
Font Leroy.
We're gonna make this a fair fight.
Of course we are. Of course we are. GW, there'll be none of this.
I wouldn't do that. GW, you wouldn't do,
I wouldn't do that. And de,
I don't want you kicking fauntleroy in the knee.
He didn't do no such thing and none of this nose twisted.
He's all yours.
Well,
what,
where are my glasses? You are young cat.
Ouch. I'm all right. This an Asian will stop stepping all over me. I beg your p
Yeah,
you're just fighting me.
But I want you to know that boy fought me a fair fight. Well, I'm glad to hear that.
Father Roy.
Here's my uncle
F
Roy. What have you been doing?
I hope my uncle didn't bother anybody. No bother.
I think we'd better join the ladies before they get curious. Drago
F
Roy. Let's line them all up for a dot
You
go,
Jake.
You think tincture of Arnica would help?
Could be
used to help you.
Gentlemen. Do the medicine cabinet.
Morning, morning,
Daddy
this morning with a scatter gun over his arm.
When hunt.
Yes.
Morning. Daddy.
Good afternoon.
I'll get you out so early.
It's something I have to get straight in my mind.
Yeah.
Right.
Mamma,
why did you and mama stop living together? Daddy?
Why'd you separate?
Aren't you gonna answer me? No.
Is sort of my business. I think.
I don't.
Is it another woman
usually is
at your age. You always know what you do. Is it Mrs Warren
Becky?
I don't want to start laying the law down your first day back home,
but I'll have no more such talk.
The first time I ever saw Mrs Warren was last week.
She has a job here at which she's very good.
And I hope you'll have the good manners to
not pry into other people's business.
Your mother's in mine?
Pretty good shot. Daddy?
Oh, I can understand your trouble.
Mama's often so
well. So petulant,
petulant.
You learned a lot of words back east Becky. I
wish to God they'd have taught you some meanings.
You were only about six months old when your
mother stayed alone with you in the side hut under 8 ft of snow
while I moved to her 300 miles south to try and save it.
Saved about half of it.
You were a little more than a year old. At the time of the Great Comanche Raids,
we stood off 500 plains Indians for nine days.
Petulant Becks.
I think you better go on home.
See that chin gets those birds.
Becky.
Come here.
Oh,
if something I ought to tell you,
I guess now's as good a time as any.
You're gonna have every young buck west of
the Missouri around here trying to marry you.
Mostly because you're a handsome fella,
but partly because I own everything in this country from here to there.
They'll think you're gonna inherit it.
Well, you're not,
you're gonna leave most of it too
well to the nation. Really?
For a park
where no lumberman will
cut down all the trees for houses with leaky rust.
Nobody will kill all a beaver for hats, for dudes
or murder the bubble over robes.
What I'm gonna give you is a 500 cow spread on the upper green river.
Now that may not seem like much.
That's more than we had your mother and I,
some folks are gonna say I'm doing all this
so I can sit up in the hereafter and
look down on a park named after me
or that I was disappointed in you
didn't want you to get all that money.
But the real reason Becky
is because I love you
and I want you and some young man to
have what I had
because all the gold in the United States Treasury
and all the harp music in heaven
can't equal. What happens between a man and a woman
with all that growing together?
I can't explain it any better than that.
All right, daddy.
OK.
Blacky.
When you're as old as I am, you'll
thank me for this
daddy. I'm full grown.
I wasn't worrying about me.
I
was thinking about you and mum.
Look at that
Ok.
Oh,
not bad.
Oh,
that.
Mhm.
Well, sir, all three of them fell right out of the carriage.
Well,
it's getting rather late Becky. It's bedtime
mother.
He brought this. He must have intended to use it.
Oh, well, sing us a song.
Well, if you really want me to, gosh, I haven't played it, you know, just right for me.
Sure. It's the rage now. 000,
Dev.
What are you doing?
Oh,
hiya.
I
just thought I'd get another cigar.
But you've got one in your mouth and two burning in the tray.
Not move.
Fellas, want me to play all the time.
You're cuter than
a
baby still
and softer than
a mouse's ear.
I want the whole wide world to hear.
You're just right for me.
You're sweeter than,
oh, no, not that rhythm. Junior do it the way they do at the plaza. I know the words.
Sure. Becky. Will you sing with me? Of course. All right.
Really and smart.
It's your move.
Oh.
Oh,
good.
You're playing like an amateur.
Let's call it an evening. I'd like to know where your mind is tonight.
You're sweeter than
our
blue bells when they
start to. Pretty good
boy. Like your father feel like
I saw
honey
finer than one.
I'm sure they found you on that honeysuckle.
I would melt
in your embrace
this
a
and without a trace to die like this.
There's no disgrace
the time this
for me.
Well,
that's so good. I kinda hate to break this up
but we're gonna have that Indian hearing tomorrow morning.
Uh, sir about our conversation earlier this evening.
Uh, I believe I'd better apologize,
you know.
Yes, sir.
I've been thinking it over and when I called your reactionary,
that's merely my generation's
term for your generation then. Nothing personal, sir. Oh, really?
Well, good night, sir.
Good night, Miss mclean.
Good night and do come again.
Good night, Drago. All right,
Boston.
What's the reaction near me?
Me? I guess
he says that anyone that wanted to sell at a profit was a reactionary.
Was we reactionaries back in them days when you were selling
beef cattle for six cents a pound on the hoof.
Well, he was arguing with him. College boy
Devlin will warn if you was my kind of man,
you wouldn't let some dude walk off the prettiest girl
west of Denver without putting up some kind of fight.
Does it show?
Well, what can I do? I'm just one of her father's employees.
I'm just a hired hand around here
every so often. Dev,
you spill the strangest ideas.
Everybody works for somebody.
Me,
I work for everybody in these United States that steps into a
butcher's shop for a T bone steak and you work for me.
There's not much difference.
Daddy. The most terrible thing just happened.
Junior's horse ran away. The one he rented at the livery stable
up a rented a horse by the range. He's probably back in the stall by now.
I think we could get Junior, something that he can ride.
What I'd rather do. Daddy is drive junior home in Arber
Rouge.
It's a lovely evening and I'm sure Uncle Drago wouldn't mind driving.
I wouldn't, I thought the kind of manners don't keep me from saying.
So just to be polite,
I'll drive him home, Mr mclennan.
And you don't have to come, Miss Becky. I'll see that he gets home safely.
I can take care of myself. You got yourself a foot, didn't you?
Damn. Get the carriage drago.
I'm going with him now. You got me wrangling dudes.
They start
Friday.
You make a man for your life
just right for me,
Miss Becky. Somebody better help me watch the road.
You know, I'm new around here. I might take the wrong turn off.
Devlin warned, you know, there isn't a turn off between here and town,
disappear without a trace to die. Like this
is no disgrace. This is
time
with the
Devlin War. What are you trying to do? Killer?
Can I have your friend? Drive?
Yeah,
daddy. I have never been so humiliated in my entire life.
I said what I said? And I'll stand by it to the dead.
Shoot him. Daddy.
Shoot him at once.
Why my honor is at stake? Well, now your honor. Absolutely.
He impugned my honor, impugned. What does that mean?
Slander? He slandered my honor. He did.
I said what I said and I'll stand by it to the death. He admits it. See, shoot him.
What is he admitting to why he called me?
I won't even repeat the word.
I didn't necessarily call you anything,
but I said what I said and I'll stand by it to the death.
Well, just for the tally books, what did you say?
I said that any girl who would permit a man
to kiss her before they're formally engaged is a trollop.
He said it again. Shoot him. No. Hold on. No, don't hold on.
If you're my father, if you love me, you'll shoot him. Well,
I'm your father
and I sure love you.
Salt
shot him.
You really shot him.
He dies, he dies. He'll be the first man ever killed with a blank cartridge.
We use this to start the races on the fourth.
Hey,
I'm on fire.
Oh, you poor dear, poor dear.
You'd have had me shot in cold blood. But it didn't happen.
Yelling. I insulted you and all what you need is a good spanking da
daddy.
Leave me out of this.
No, I think I'll give you what you deserve. You wouldn't dare, wouldn't I
think it's time before you have the one shot this Ken
and
gonna help you?
No.
Was
that
a
what happened? He spanked me.
You spanked my daughter,
Dev.
You mean you stood there while that brute beat our daughter?
She w what's happened to you in the last two years?
Her son,
isn't it enough that you've always treated me like a squaw without subjecting,
dear, sweet Becky to this crude vulgar.
And you women are always raising hell about one
thing when it's something else you're really sorry about.
Don't you think it's about time?
You told me what, put the bur under your saddle about me?
I don't intend to stand here and
hold a midnight conversation with an intoxicated man
and I am not intoxicated
yet.
That was
interesting.
Hello,
Governor.
Ok,
Chief Home.
Yes, Sergeant
D mcclintock.
We know you get us fair judgment.
You gentlemen follow me.
Well, Jake
GW.
Well, GW, it's been a long time. Not long enough.
Cuthbert,
your husband is a rude man. Yes, Cuthbert. I know.
Well, you want the Indians Mr mcclintock.
Mr mcclintock is not running this hearing.
Sergeant seat, those Indians. Yes,
gentlemen, be seated.
You know the whole five here, want to come into town to see Lieutenant.
This hearing is now in session.
Governor Cuthbert Humphrey presiding.
Good luck daddy.
I'm afraid it's a packed court
government edict. Number eight
has ordered that the Comanche Nation be transferred
from their present reservation to Fort Sill.
It is the government's claim as filed by Indian agent
Aagard
that these chiefs after being released from prison by a kindly government
did then rouse and incite defiance among the tribe against said order.
It seems gentlemen that although some of these chiefs speak English.
Chief Puma is quite at home in our language.
They have chosen Mr mclennan to be their spokesman.
I speak for the Comanche
or
rather I offer this translation
proceed, Mr mccleen,
the Comanches say
we are an old people and a proud people.
When the white man first came among us, we were as many as the grass is of the prairie.
Now we are few
but we are still proud
for. If a man loses his pride in manhood, he is nothing.
You tell us now that if we will let you send us away to this place called Fort Sill,
you will feed us and care for us.
Let us tell you this.
It is a Comanche law that no chief ever eats
unless first he sees that the pots are full of meat
in the lodges of the widows and orphans.
It is the Comanche way of life.
This that the white man calls charity is a fine thing for widows and orphans,
but no lawyer can accept it
for if he does, he is no longer a man. And when he is no longer a man, he is nothing
and better off dead.
You say to the Comanche, you are widows and orphans,
you are not men.
And we the Comanches say we would rather be dead.
It will not be a remembered fight when you kill us
because we are few now and have few weapons.
But we will fight
and we will die. Comanche.
Thank you, Big mcclintock.
Am I to gather that Comanche defy the government of the United States?
Yes, you may gather that the Comanche
defy the United States government or at least this commission,
I I don't do your
choice.
Yes,
it is the order of this court that these chiefs be incarcerated
until such time as the detachment of United States cavalry be made available
to escort them and the Comanche Nation to Fort Sill.
This court is adjourned
Paul mcclintock.
If you are important chief amongst these white people, sway them
have them. Give us few guns to make the fight worthwhile.
Let us have one last remembered fight for end of
Camacho.
I almost wish I could arrange that. Puma
a Hala.
Oh, hello,
sergeant.
Right.
Right. Carry on.
Yeah.
No,
miss,
it's sad these changing times.
It isn't the times that are changing mom
right
now.
Yeah.
You w
hello. Allow me
bunny.
Oh, Harry mclennan.
Hey, figured you'd be belly down drunk, but now
I've been doing some thinking, drinking bunny.
Is that buck's car still on the siding?
Well, sure. But,
but what I don't like it,
you don't, hey,
you figure them Indians get out of there and lead the cavalry on a wild goose chase.
That Great White Father is going to get nosy,
nosy and he'll investigate and when they find out
that side saddled governor's been messing things up,
they'll give those Indians a fair trial. That's live ammunition in that box car.
You know what'll happen if them Indians get some guns in their hands,
somebody's gonna get hurt.
Is Puma's word good enough for you.
I
don't.
Hey
M Clinic, you got yourself a partner.
Leave me out of this.
Hey M Clinic.
Good night. Bunny.
Goodnight governor.
Ok, great.
Here is the Katie with her light of red hair.
Sweet as the roses on a summer air.
I'll find her somewhere while the moon is high.
I
shall,
I love her
and I love her till I die.
Can
you
so,
Katie
Catherine,
holy Mle,
the woman of the house.
Uh Mr mcclintock.
Oh, there you are,
Mrs Warren.
Oh, good evening.
I weigh it up for you, Mr mcclinton.
Oh,
how nice.
I want to talk to you about something.
Delighted. Delighted.
309 times straight.
I beg your pardon.
309 times straight without a miss. Gotta be a record,
I suppose.
So now Mr mcclintock, what I wanted to do two pound ST six inch brim, 53 ft in the air.
It's gotta be a record.
I'm sure it is. But the reason I was damn it woman, can't you hold that glass still?
Of course, sir. No.
Down the hatch to my world's record.
Down the hatch.
Yes, sir.
And now
to the governor of our territory,
the governor of the territory, sir.
Now, don't you stick up for him? Mrs Warren. You're a fine woman, Mrs Warren,
but you'll certainly go down in my estimation if you
stick up for Cuthbert H Humphrey governor of this territory
don't mean to change
hatch.
Oh,
yes, sir.
Down the hatch.
Cuthbert H Humphrey governor of our territory
is a cult.
Do you know what a call is? Man?
A cull is a specimen that is so worthless that you have to cut him out of the herd.
Now, if all the people in the world were putting one herd,
Cuthbert
is the one I would throw my rope at,
at whom
at whom I would throw my rope at
natural born cull.
Another touch, ma'am.
Oh, no, sir. No.
Right.
I don't mind if I do good.
Can't walk on one leg.
Oh, I didn't mean to be vulgar, ma'am. Can't walk one limb.
It's all right.
Sounds silly. Only a bird can walk on a limb.
You know my wife, her name's Kate.
She insists on being called Catherine. Do you know her? Of course, Mr mcclintock.
And that's what I wanted to talk. Well, she thinks that Cuthbert H.
Humphrey is panting for her like a bull buffalo at the first green up of spring.
But what Cuthbert is panning for is my money.
Don't make me feel like I'm drinking alone, ma'am
very well, Mr mcclintock. If you insist
down the hatch.
Good,
Mr
Minty,
I have something very important to say to you
can
very important,
I
guess. It'll have to wait till the morning.
Toodle.
Oh,
sorry,
sorry
that he bye bye.
Yeah.
What,
so
this is Warren,
let me assist you. Very kind.
Yeah.
Oh,
no.
Whoops.
What's going on here
now? Katherine? Are you going to believe what you see
or what I tell you,
Mrs mcclintock. Hope you won't misunderstand.
It's the 1st 100 women sitting on his lap that I misunderstood.
Number 101 is quite simple now, GW mcclintock. I,
he's gone to sleep
just when I know exactly what I want to say to him. He goes to sleep.
I waited up to talk to Mr
medical intake.
I
wanted to tell him I was quitting.
You see, Sheriff Lord has asked me to marry him
and
00, congratulations.
I don't want to seem prudish, but if you are going to marry Sheriff Lord,
it seems to me that you're sitting on the wrong man's lap.
Come on, I'll help you upstairs and we'll have a long talk about men in general,
ladies.
One moment.
Ok.
000, what y'all do? Get us all killed.
Oh,
what,
wait a minute, ladies till I catch my breath and I'll get you up those stairs.
As sure as my name is George Washington mcclinton.
You may be quitting. Mrs Wallace Smith is war, but not tomorrow.
I want my breakfast in bed. I want to, I know toast like brown somebody.
Sure put a knob on my skull.
Here's Katie speaking.
Katie. Why?
Yeah, Mrs Warren was there.
Oh, and there you was there.
Oh,
the whiskey bottle was there. And Katie's temper being what Katie's temper is.
Well, there you are
Drago
old friend, huh?
My wife does not understand me.
You
mean different than any other man? Come on, I gotta get you upstairs.
Get you ready for that big celebration tomorrow,
Drago.
I am sleeping in the den.
I know
this
there
a
you.
I
hope you get to me.
Come on, get him aboard.
Is everybody ready,
man? Number five needs a flag
in.
Game one.
Let us know when you're ready.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my honor to present to you
the governor of our territory
prosper
each
hum.
Thank you mayor.
My friends
and citizens of this great territory.
This is the ninth consecutive year.
It has been my privilege
and my pleasure
to inaugurate
the mcclintic Fourth of July celebration.
Now the first event will be the wild horse race.
But before I fire the shot to start the event,
I would like to say a few modest words
regarding my stewardship
of his grave.
Bye.
All right, Professor Birnbaum,
gentleman.
Here's your horse. Come on, get him on the line. Now, come here, King.
Now, boys, you all know the rules.
It's twice around the inside, once around the outside.
First cowboy that hits that finish line without busting that egg is a winner.
And I caution you boys about some of them eggs go,
some of them eggs are last year's holdovers.
I made
up
Catherine, my dear.
You seem to be enjoying yourself. Oh, yes, this is wonderful.
This is the only thing I really do enjoy about this barbaric country.
The Fourth of July celebration.
Well, Catherine, I've been here for three days. I haven't heard from you.
Is anything wrong wrong?
Well, I just hope that it hasn't been necessary for you to say anything to, uh, GW,
what are you talking about,
Catherine?
You see, I'm in a rather delicate position being governor of the territory and all.
I just hope you haven't found it necessary to say anything about,
about. What
about
you and me?
Why you pompous windbag?
Do you think that you're the only man who's ever tried to play
patty fingers with me who's ever tried to lure me into the moonlight?
Well, no, but,
well, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. My husband knows
I can assure you governor that your reputation is untarnished.
Now, get out of my way.
Ok.
We got ourselves a winner. Curly fletcher
basil
off girly.
Give me the egg
disqualified.
I hear you. But brilliant
GD,
you'll never believe what happened of it. What
you smell a beer? Well, naturally I'm drinking beer
and gentlemen,
the next event will be a contest between the two Bronco busting
champions of our territory. Remember the year I rode in that event
wore your gutters to hold up my sleeves.
We had a bet and I won it.
George Washington mcclintock. You are a very crude man.
Well, I guess so, but that was a rough horse like that. Jarred my insides loose,
but it was worth it.
Sure.
Three mi
12
A
right.
Are you all right? I guess so.
Nothing busted but my pride.
Well, that ought to even things up farmer.
For what? Well, that sore nose you gave me the other day?
Well, that ain't what's sore on him.
That closing
is the C
pony race. The finish line. Is it the barbecue? So, start me and
come on.
Now. What is that Paul's courage?
Why? You know what Douglas doesn't ever use a thing like that.
I want you to get on that horse. Get out in front and stay out in front.
I'll be out in front that,
00,
good boy.
I remember. Stay out in front that Agamemnon's a good horse.
Sorry,
I,
to
1140 she's,
oh,
party.
Where you whisky?
Whose idea was this stunt?
Hot dog? Connie turn a real
return.
I
reckon that's about all the excitement you'd want for 1/4 of July in,
er, finally got his way, but I reckon he's riding out his last war party.
He won't get very far.
But one thing still has me puzzled. Where did he get the guns?
I was wondering the same thing.
My kidney has been bothering me and funny.
Tw.
I,
oh,
oh, what an idiotic joke, joke. Do you think that was a joke? Shut up.
Do you want everybody in town to see me? You look good in Feathers
Dev? I think they've gone.
Yeah. What are you going to do about it? What can I do? Nothing?
Just like you've always done?
Ok.
How long? GW,
how long, what Catherine? She's been riding herd on you for two years now.
I'm a peaceable man.
But my father used to say you raise your voice. It doesn't do any good.
It's time to raise your hand. Well, I've been planning to do something about it all.
I,
I'll have another talk with her, talk to her,
talk to her,
talking won't do any good
Becky. Have you seen him?
What's been happening around here?
You've got hay all over. You
been some mighty sneaky goings on here during that raid? Mr mcclintock,
who was, it said only a trollop could kiss a man before they were formally engaged.
Oh, but we are engaged, sir. You are.
That is with your permission.
Well, you've got
it. Oh, Mrs Warren,
I think it's wonderful.
I guess this is the only engagement that ever started off of a spanking.
I reckon Birnbaum
is right.
All right.
Lord bless us. This is gonna be a great day dog gone. It, folks.
Let's don't let a little old Indian raid break up a good barbecue and a rodeo.
Down. Let's go.
You contestants get ready for the C
Pony race.
Who is it?
It's me. Let me in
not now.
Are you insane?
I want to talk to you.
It'll have to wait.
I've taken all I'm gonna take from you. You are insane.
You are going to tell me why you packed up, picked up and walked out on me two years ago.
You remember you came home from Denver with
lipstick all over your
lipstick on my collar
just
to prove that. Who cares?
Who are you f
Catherine?
Yeah.
Wow.
GW,
you are a rough you
Cuthbert.
You are right.
Well, what kind of a family is that
and be
right.
I
right.
Who cares? They write
history they made,
I regret to inform you. I've changed my mind about matrimony
and
maybe
we
read
it.
Oh K
Catherine
ignite
looks like GW buy up.
I'm afraid you're
family.
So,
and you
know,
how
about you
take Donald?
I thought,
oh, Mrs mcclinton
woman's
T.
Mrs mcclintock. You set a new style
by,
you
know,
and
if I ever,
you will ruin the day you ever met?
Well, I can fight all you want. It won't do you any good?
You've been digging those birds into me for two years now.
You're gonna get your come up,
man.
Thanks.
Hello?
Hi.
Yeah.
Oh,
keep it. You may need it
now. Get your divorce.
Oh,
don't spare the horse.
You don't think you're gonna get rid of me. It's that
easy.
Yeah.
No more. Living in the capital. No, no more Newport in season.
Nope.
No more dancing at the Governor's ball. No. GW.
Happy Day.
310 times
without a miss.
That's a record.
