- Hello.

- He works for us.

You'd better get going, Jett,

and get that truck fixed.

Nobody is king in this country.

Nobody, no matter what they think.

I'm sorry, honey. Things go "loco" here

every time I'm away.

Remember the time of the big rodeo?

Old Kale Beebe blew in,

higher than a kite...

slept on the sofa in your office.

He must have had nightmares.

He cut the couch to ribbons with his spurs.

This here is Bick's room.

This down here is your room, honey.

Look...

We're married.

You know how that is.

We'll take the connecting rooms.

We'll make that into a sitting room

where we can sit and talk...

and the breeze can get at us.

Breakfast's ready.

You and Jordan

have had breakfast already?

We have our coffee and talk

every morning of our lives at 5:00.

Try and get things rounded up for the day.

I thought I was going riding with him

to the roundup.

It would've been too hot for you.

I told him so.

Bring it in here.

You gotta watch out for that sun.

It's rough.

Sit down.

Your blood's too thin. That's the trouble

with a lot of Easterners.

Thank you.

I'm fine, Luz.

I'm a lot tougher perhaps

than you think I am.

Me...

I never had a sick day in my life.

Except when I got thrown and tromped on.

All you gotta do is take it easy.

This rich Texas air will fix you up.

Don't you worry none

about being lonesome.

I'll round up the neighbors.

You're going to meet some folks.

Yes, indeed.

You're going to meet some folks.

This is Mr. And Mrs. Bale Clinch.

Bick, it's about time. Howdy, ma'am.

I'd like you to meet

my little wife, Adarene.

I'm mighty pleased to meet you.

This is Judge Whiteside.

How do you do, Mrs. Benedict?

We sure are proud to have you here.

Bick, congratulations.

Mighty happy for you, boy.

She sure is pretty.

I think so.

Here's Ula Japes.

Glad to meet you, ma'am.

Good to see you, Bick.

This is Ms. Wharton.

Howdy, Leslie. Mighty happy to meet you.

Fernie Kling.

We're glad to have you with us.

You've really done well for yourself.

Thank you, Fernie.

Now you'll meet the neighbor

I told you about.

The one who lives 50 miles away

with all those cows?

Vashti, I'd like you to meet my wife.

Hello, Vashti. So nice to meet you.

Jordan told me so much about you.

Mighty glad to know you.

I'm awfully glad we're neighbors.

I hope we'll be real close friends.

My name is Mort Snythe.

They call me Pinky.

Come here.

- Excuse me, ma'am.

- We'll be seeing you.

- This will perk you up, Miss Leslie.

- Thank you.

I propose a toast to a daughter

of old Maryland...

now blooming into a citizen

of the Lone Star State. To the bride!

Are you all right?

I'm fine, don't worry.

- There's more than one bride here today.
