but I'm not.

Come on, if you want to catch that train.

It all sounds so romantic!

Come along, David, you're for me.

What's that, a wolf?

No, honey.

It's just a little old coyote.

Don't you think you've done

enough sightseeing?

Tell me when we're in Texas.

That's Texas you've been looking at.

For the last eight hours.

I don't know how other brides feel

on their honeymoon...

but I'm having a lovely time.

We can't say it's been dull.

That is, so far anyway.

Wake up, honey. We're here, honey.

Where?

Hello.

Good morning.

Is that Texas?

It's Benedict. That's where we ship from.

These people never learn!

I'm Mrs. Benedict.

That means, "Welcome, the newlyweds".

Let's go, Leslie.

And what is your name?

That's a beautiful name.

Come on, it's 50 miles to coffee.

This is it, honey. This is your home.

But it's huge!

I thought it was a ranch house.

My old man built it to show the cotton

crowd we were just as high-powered.

It's enormous just for the two of us.

Luz lives here with me.

With us.

She's run the house since Ma passed on.

Some say she even runs the ranch!

Take it easy, Leslie.

What are your names?

What do you mean behave?

Here we don't make a fuss

over those people. You're a Texan now.

Is that a state of mind? I'm still myself.

You're my wife, honey. You're a Benedict.

I still have a mind of my own.

Elsewhere, being gracious is acceptable.

We're gracious, but...

Fine thing...

standing here quarreling

with rice still in our hair!

It's so nice and cool!

I thought somebody was hurt, maybe.

We didn't know you were there.

Well, home. We're here.

I've been looking for you for weeks.

We weren't expected to be back sooner,

were we?

With all the spring work to be done,

the roundup...

I didn't figure Bick would stay away.

If I miss a roundup every time I have

a honeymoon, I won't miss much, will I?

I thought I fired him off this place.

Where do you think you're going

with my automobile?

Just hold on.

Don't go taking off on me.

That old truck broke down again.

You want me going down the road?

That's exactly what I was going to do.

But she said,

"You stay on and do your work".

Next time I tell you to get, you get!

Bick and Jett are everlasting jangling

about something.

- "Madama" is the one who told me to stay.

- That's right.

With you away,

we needed all the help there was.

They're all scared to death of her.

You know that.

Everyone, except you and me.

You just tend to your work.

Tell me who is the boss around here...

and I'll be glad to do anything you want.

Just tell me who's the boss.

This is Bick's new wife.

Leslie, this boy here is Jett Rink.
