Now look, son, I don't expect gratitude

for saving your life.

But I have a hunch you're strong enough

to do some talking...

so I'd like you to talk.

Where are you from?

We know you're not Mexican, boy.

Where do you belong?

I see. It's not that you can't talk,

it's just that you won't.

Pa, it's not the time.

All right.

I'm not gonna force you now.

But later you're gonna tell me

everything I want to know.

Here, you come along, miss. Come along.

Let's give him a while

to think things over a bit.

Should my tears forever flow

Should my zeal no languor know

All for sin could not atone

Thou must save, and thou alone

In my hand no price I bring

All I'm saying is the Governor

ought to be made aware of the matter.

How do we know raids like last night

ain't taking place all along the border?

There is no master plan in Mexico City,

if that's what you're thinking.

The war's over, Jess.

A band of outlaws just crossed the river,

so let's not make any more of it.

Well, I'll wager they never crossed back

over the river.

I wager a few of them

are still hanging around.

If that's so,

we'll just have to take our chances.

Hell, I don't think

we ought to take any chances.

Doc, Joanne.

If you're bound and determined to clear

out of here, I'm not gonna stop you.

As a medical man, I may not advise it,

but as a member of this community...

I'm sure not in favour of you staying.

So if you want to go, just go right ahead.

Well, what's holding you?

Sit down, boy. It's wiser.

Since it's obvious that

you have to put up here for a spell...

accept that fact and answer

those questions I asked you earlier.

Don't try me, boy.

Just because I patched you up doesn't

mean I can't let others string you up.

There's no point in saving a life

if it's not worth saving.

- Where you going, miss?

- Chores, Pa. Possess yourself.

You're hell-bent on putting me

to the test, aren't you?

All right. You're gonna get satisfaction.

You're gonna get it right now.

What's all that for?

Hush, Pa, no need to make noise

for two. Excuse me.

Have you gone plumb crazy?

I just want to examine

this wild man's face.

Easy, boy.

At this moment, I'm stronger than you.

Lather him up.

- Do as I say, Pa.

- Yes, miss.

I think you should know I'm not

a woman of minor achievement...

and I add to my list daily.

I cook, sew, undertake all

the normal female activities.

And then in addition,

I handle a plough as well as a piano...

split a log in record quick time and...

I'm just about as good as any man, huh, Pa?

Did I hurt you?

I'm fearfully sorry.

But with all my accomplishments, I have...

Now, did I do it again?

How can I apologise? Except to say that
