- Oh no, no trouble at all.

No trouble at all.

I'll carry it on my lap.

Here we go! Here we go, Reverend.

Mrs. Whitney, you're not going to let

your friend travel with that creature!

She's right, Lucy. And besides,

you're not well enough to travel.

It's only a few hours, Nancy.

I'm quite all right.

But you shouldn't travel a step

without a doctor.

There is a doctor, dear.

The driver told me.

Doctor? Doc Boone?

Why, he couldn't doctor a horse!

Lucy darling, you must be very careful.

Take good care of yourself.

- Lady folks ride faces forward, please.

- There you go!

- Pleasant journey, Mrs. Mallory.

- Thank you. Good-bye!

Like an angel in the jungle.

- A very wild jungle.

- What are you doing, Hatfield?

Talking to yourself?

You wouldn't understand, cowboy.

You've never seen an angel.

Nor a gentlewoman.

Nor a great lady. I raise, gentlemen.

Captain Sickels asks for you to deliver

this despatch in Lordsburg...

...the moment you arrive.

The telegraph line has been cut.

We're going with you as far as

the noon station at Dry Fork.

There'll be a troop of Cavalry there,

and they'll take you on to Apache Wells.

From Apache Wells you'll have another

escort of soldiers into Lordsburg.

You must warn your passengers that

they travel at their own risk.

At their own risk?

Well, what's the trouble, Lieutenant?

Geronimo.

Geronimo? Well, then I ain't goin'...

Will you sit down?

Of course the Army has no authority

over you gentlemen.

If you think it's unsafe

to make the trip...

This stage is going to Lordsburg.

If you think it ain't safe

to ride along with us...

...I figure we can get there

without you soldier boys.

I have my orders, sir.

And I always obey orders.

Did you all hear what

the Lieutenant said?

Yes, we heard.

Well me and Buck are taking

this coach through...

...passengers or not. Now whoever

wants to get out, can get out.

Courage, courage, Reverend.

Ladies first.

How 'bout you, Dallas?

What are they trying to do?

Scare somebody?

They got me in here, now let them

try to put me out.

There are worse things than Apaches.

If you'll take my advice, ma'am...

...you won't take this trip.

My husband is with his troops

in Dry Fork.

If he's in danger,

I want to be with him.

You see, brother, I have a wife

and five children...

Then you're a man. By all the powers

that be, Reverend, you're a man.

- All right, folks.

- Marshall!

Make room for one more.

I'm offering my protection

to this lady.

I can shoot fairly straight

if there's need for it.

That's been proved

too many times, Hatfield.

All right, get in. We're late.

- May I trouble you to move over, sir?

- Oh yes, yes of course.
