about Buck Gonzales's

outside transactions,

but I can assure you, Sheriff,

that I have kept the books of

this ranch perfectly straight.

Oh, I don't doubt you.

I've been foreman

here for fve years.

None of us boys know

about this business.

There's a car coming

up the road now.

It must be her.

This is going to be

a terrible shock to her

on her wedding day.

Yeah.

Hello, Sheriff. Awfully nice of you

to come to my wedding.

What's the matter

with you boys?

I thought you were

going to greet me

with some wild shooting.

Uh, pardon me, Cleo,

but there's a reason...

and it ain't going

to be easy to explain it

on your wedding day.

You don't mean something

happened to Buck.

Yes, miss. I'm sorry,

but it couldn't be helped.

Oh. Show me where he is.

I feel sorry for her.

Yeah.

May I offer

my condolences?

It's been a good deal

of a shock to us all.

Yeah. I made a bargain,

and I was going

to stick to it.

I don't keep souvenirs.

Maybe you'd like this.

What is it?

It's an agreement

between Buck and me.

I guess it's

the frst time he

ever agreed with anyone.

Why, that's his signature.

Yeah. He signed it,

if that's what you mean,

and the sheriff sealed it.

I'm not so sure.

This says that

in consideration of your

consenting to marry him...

Buck signs over

all his property to you.

Yeah, but he

gets shot frst.

You kept your part

of the bargain.

You did consent?

I certainly did. Twice.

Hmm. Well, then I think

this is a matter

for the law to decide.

You don't mean that l...

Well, that will help

pay for my feelings.

Well, Miss Borden,

after due deliberation,

the court has decided

that all the holdings

and properties...

of the deceased,

Buck Gonzales,

belong to you.

You've acted in good faith,

and you've done your best

to fulfll your bargain.

judge, wherever

there's a man concerned,

I always do my best.

Now, as one of the richest

women in our state,

let me advise you

to look out for crooks.

You let the crooks

look out for themselves.

Well, what's next

on the program?

Well, the next is for you

to check over these.

You check them over.

Oh, I can't do that.

You see, this is

my fnal accounting

for the Gonzales estate;

and if it's satisfactory,

then my work is through.

What do you mean "through"?

Well, I've fnished my job.

Can you imagine

this guy, judge?

After he gets me

into the big money,

he wants to walk out on me.

It's time for me

to get back east.

I'm going to pay you

a salary that'll be...

positively indecent

for you to turn down.

Very kind of you.

What do you say?

All right, I suppose

I'll have to stay...

and look after the cattle

and the men for you.

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
