The lamp lit.
You cooking, me eating.
Happy as two little dogies
at a waterhole.
I'm enchanted.
That's another thing I like about you,
teacher. All them words you know.
And the way you sashay down
the street, smilin' when we meet.
Passin' a word or two.
You been leadin' me on, teacher.
You're crazy! I've been pleasant
to you, that's all.
You ain't foolin' old Buck.
By the way, I just stopped
to pass the time of day
with your high and mighty friend
Pat Terrill and her intended.
He sure is a dude.
That the kind of a man you want?
With a bow tie, a fancy hat
and no nerve to hold a gun?
That's enough, Buck Hannassey.
You know something, Julie?
If we was to join your Big Muddy
with our place,
- the Terrills'd dry up like jimson weed.
- Will you get out of here?
I talked it over with Pa.
He likes the idea.
So do I.
Let go of me!
You're scared, ain't ya?
I like a woman that's scared of me.
If a woman was to tell the truth,
she likes a man who scares her a little.
You must be drunk!
All right, teacher.
But, remember, the Terrills
ain't no friends of ours.
I'll choose my own friends.
No, that won't do. You gotta
be on one side or the other.
You can't have it both ways.
School's over for today, teacher.
But I'll be back.
- Morning.
- Howdy.
- Morning.
- Howdy.
- Howdy.
- Good morning.
Morning.
My name is Ramn Gutirrez.
How do you do? My name is McKay.
Pleased to meet you. But I knew that.
Girls, this is Mr. McKay, who is
going to marry Miss Patricia.
Tell me, how many head of cattle
do you have here?
Oh, ten thousand... twenty thousand,
forty thousand, fifty thousand...
Cattle are not important to me.
You speak Spanish?
No. I understand you, though.
Perfectly.
Oh, very good!
- Mornin'
- Morning, Mr. Leech.
- You care to go ridin' this mornin'
- Yes, I'd like to very much.
Ramn, saddle up
a good horse for Mr. McKay.
Yes, sir.
How well do you ride?
Oh, I've ridden some in the East.
Different saddle, though.
If you can sit one saddle,
you can sit 'em all.
Ramn, put him up on Old Thunder.
Right over here.
Any time you're ready.
Nice day, isn't it?
Well?
Some other time, Leech.
We got a chuck-wagon horse
down at the big barn.
- Morning, Jim.
- Morning, Major.
Mornin', Major.
The boys always try to put
a stranger on Old Thunder.
- Sort of a standing joke.
- I see.
What time do you want to start, Major?
Any time. Just let me know
when you're ready.
Have some breakfast with me, Jim.
My daughter's not an early riser,
as you'll soon discover.
Don't let anything
He doesn't bother me.
