- It's enough, isn't it?

- You're condemning me.

- No.

You're the one that

made the choice, not me.

All I want to know is if you're sure.

I've got to be sure, haven't I?

- Then I wish you luck. So long.

- Wait.

You're coming to the wedding?

- No.

- Please.

To make the record complete?

Is it so hard to believe that I

can still take an interest in you?

Don't you understand that yet?

I guess I do.

You're an ambitious girl, Laurie.

You set your mind on

certain things long ago.

- I couldn't break up that.

- I was ambitious for both of us.

But there was a restlessness in

you I couldn't fight any longer.

- I got tired of waiting.

- I don't blame you.

You always figured...

you could make your mind

pull your heart along.

I hope you can.

I know what I'm doing, Owen.

We always argued too much.

That was one of our faults.

- Good night, Owen.

- Goodbye.

It's time to go.

I'm ready.

- Owen, you're a

putty-headed fool. - Shut up.

- Quite a party, boss.

- For this occasion.

- Here's to you and your bride.

- Why, thank you, Judge.

Congratulations.

- Best of luck.

- Much happiness.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you, Judge. Thank you.

There's enough champagne

water there to drown a horse.

Mr. Isham had it shipped all

the way from San Francisco.

- Won't you have some?

- I don't drink.

Nan.

Can I see you home from the party?

- Another night.

- You got a date?

No, but after helping Laurie

with her wedding all day...

I'm about run down.

- I wouldn't be good company for anyone.

- I wouldn't care.

Why can't we be friends

like everyone else, Nan?

- I hope we'll always be friends, Hugh.

- You don't fool me.

Why don't you ever smile at me, Nan?

Sometimes I come out of the hills, stand

near your cabin and watch the light.

Sometimes I come close to the door.

You don't know what I feel

inside. I'd tear off my arms...

I'd burn Springrock down

to ashes if you wanted it.

There isn't anything I

wouldn't do for you, anything.

- Hugh.

- Anything.

All right, then.

There's the dance on Saturday night.

Yes, I'll call for you.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

We Ishams are going to show you

all just what luxury really is.

We're going to open

the doors of Skull...

and ask you all to come in and eat

and drink the finest food and liquor...

that money can buy.

That's a very

hospitable proposal, Dad.

I'm sure my husband would

be happy to second it.

- Why, of course.

- Congratulations again.

I lost me a daughter,

but I got me a son.

Dad, you must be tired. Wouldn't

you like to go to your room?

Excuse us, please.

Lankershim.

I'd like to talk to you in the study.

- Come outside.

- What for?

Get on your horse and leave.
