McLintock! Page #6

except my place of residence.

And I'd be willing to put up with savages...

rather than be denied the company

of my daughter.

And I'm proving that by moving in here.

Mr. McLintock, since it's my first day,

would you excuse me if I...

Go ahead. Katherine, this is Dev Warren.

Joined the outfit today.

- Pleased, ma'am.

- Thank you.

Well, how refreshing.

A polite young man here.

- Where did he come from?

- He's a farmer.

- A farmer?

- Well, I'll be doggone.

Kate, welcome home.

What on earth are you doing

in that idiotic-looking outfit?

- And don't you dare call me Kate.

- That here my butlering suit.

I'm butlering for the boss.

And I'm sorry, Katherine.

That Kate kind of slipped out

from the times I remembered you...

as being nice people.

Are you going to stand there

with that stupid look on your face...

while the hired help insults your wife?

He's just ignorant.

He doesn't know any better

than to tell the truth.

And I can't help this stupid look.

I started acquiring it

as you gained in social prominence.

Mrs. McLintock,

where do you want I should...

- What?

- Put them in the master bedroom.

Yes. But move Mr. Mclintock's things

into another room.

The one back of the stairs would be best, so

that he can't wake up the entire household...

- when he comes home every night...

- Here's the...

...just before daybreak.

- Yes, ma'am.

Excuse me.

- Here's your cigars, Mr. McLintock.

- I am Mrs. McLintock.

Kate, I mean, Katherine...

this is the cook,

this is the lady does the cooking for us.

Mrs. Warren, Mrs. McLintock.

- How do you do?

- Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. McLintock.

- Very pleased.

- Likewise.

You see, I just came to work here today,

and I guess I jumped to the conclusion...

that this was a bachelor's household.

It is, and then again, it isn't.

I will explain so everything

will be quite clear, Mrs. Wallace.

Mrs. Warren.

Mrs. Warren.

It has been a bachelor's household

for quite some time.

And it will be again,

just as soon as I'm out of here.

Which will be as quickly

as I can make arrangements...

to take my daughter back East with me.

You see, she's coming home from school

in a few days...

and then we'll be off together,

and you can return to conducting yourself...

as you consider proper

in a bachelor's household.

- Katy.

- Shut up.

Until then, I am mistress in this house.

And I will give the orders.

- I'll want my breakfast served in bed.

- Gonna let her...

- Ain't you gonna say nothing, Boss?

- No.

One poached egg, tea, toast.

G. W., as soon as my things are put away,

I'll want to talk to you about Rebecca.

Yes, Mrs. McLintock. Indeed, Mrs. McLintock.
