I'll help you in Oklahomy.

Please let me stay.

Well, you're here,

I reckon you can stay, Isaiah.

I hope you go to heaven when you die.

Let me do that cooking, Miss Sabra.

I'll fix them.

Yeah, you start right in

by getting some wood.

- Now, scoot.

- I'm scooting.

There's loyalty, Sabra,

that money can't buy.

We're going into new things, pet.

A new empire...

and I want to help build it for you.

And we'll have just

the prettiest little house we can find, too.

- With flowers and things.

- With flowers and trees...

and morning glories growing all over.

It'll be our first real home, alone...

and I want you to be happy

all the way, sugar.

Our first real home...

alone.

Hold that iron. Don't move.

I ain't aiming to check you through.

All I want is your ready money. Come on.

This is the first time I ever fronted

your iron, Kid.

- Well, if it ain't Yancey. Howdy.

- Howdy.

- I'm sorry I disturbed you folks.

- This is my wife.

- Howdy, ma'am.

- My son's inside, asleep.

I'm heading for Osage,

aiming to make it my home.

Osage, huh?

- Gonna start your newspaper there?

- Yeah.

Good.

- Got to be loping.

- Need you hurry away like this, Kid?

I got overdrawn at the bank at Red Fork

and they're looking for me.

Luck to you.

- Stay away from Osage, will you, Kid?

- Sure thing.

Unless you send me an invite. Cut dirt!

It's a poser, honey. All this in six weeks

right up from the raw prairie.

Next time you come here, Chief,

you go through the roof.

He shot him.

Esteban Miro, a half-breed and a bad one.

I didn't think he had the brash.

Must have some friends around town.

Don't you worry, honey.

Look, sugar,

they've named the streets already.

Pawhuska Avenue,

that's an Indian name, son.

Paw-hu means hair and ska means white.

White hair.

Pawhuska was an old Osage chief.

- I'm an Indian, old White Hair.

- Cim.

- Howdy.

- Howdy.

Lots of watermelons there, Isaiah.

- Yes, sir. I sure glad I came to Oklahomy.

- Just a minute.

- I'll appeal to the highest court.

- You're a sooner.

- Don't you call me...

- Gentlemen.

Step right inside.

We'll determine the status of this case.

I don't let anybody call me a sooner.

- By the way, have you each $10 with you?

- Yes, we have.

Step right inside, men,

and tell us all about it.

All right. I want to know who...

Plenty of law practice.

Three or four claimers

for some of these lots.

Look, honey. Look, folks working late.

Plenty of good water...

Here you are. That's right.

Now, lady, what can I do for you?

There's Louis Hefner's emporium.

I saw old Louis stake that claim.

Furniture in an undertaking parlor?

They have plenty of combination stores

out here until the town gets larger.
