Sixty cents an acre!|Take it or leave it!

-Just like that, huh?|-Just like that!

If I was you,|I'd grab it!

We're gonna get it|anyway, you know!

We'll get the house and every last acre|of land when they put it up for taxes!

Oh, I see!

And, uh, how do you know it will|be put up for taxes, Mr! Benedict?

You went busted outfittin'|that rebel regiment of yours!

Now, what do you say?

Sixty cents!!! or nothin'!

[ Horse Neighing ]

Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!|[ Whooping Continues ]

This belonged to|Granddaddy Langdon, Horace!

I think maybe|he'd want you to have it!

Thank you, sir!

- Little George!|- Yes, sir?

- Bring along that anvil and|as many tools as you can carry!|- Yes, sir!

Colonel, anybody goin' with us|talk that there Mexican?

Why don't you|stop lookin' at me?

I can't, Charlotte!

I just can't|keep my eyes off you!

Well, you make me uneasy,|Bubba Wilkes, so stop it!

You know, I've asked you a dozen times|to marry me, and you've never answered!

I'm too young to marry!

No girl who looks the way you do|is too young to marry!

Well, I am! If you don't|believe me, you can ask my daddy!

Ask your daddy! Your daddy knows there's|no man better suited to marry you--

Charlotte.

Maybe you'd better go on up|to the house and help your mother!

Maybe you'd better go on up|to the house and help your mother!

- You're a good junior officer,|Bubba Wilkes!|- Thank you, sir!

- Don't let anybody tell you you're not!|- No, sir!

But as a young man!!!

with a desire|for my daughter's hand!!!

you're pitiful!

It embarrasses me to watch you!

- I don't understand, sir!|- You sure don't!

You let moonlight and magnolia|blossoms go to your head,

and you forget the real|purpose of your mission!

Newby!

[ Thomas ] Don't tell me|I can't resign,Joe.

I volunteered into this outfit,|and I'll volunteer out!

There's still a lot|of work to be done!

Not for me, there isn't!|I came into this thing!!!

three years ago with|7 5 volunteers, all good riders!

Do you know how many|of those men are left?

No, but I imagine|you're going to tell me!

Well, if you'll look out|this window, you'll see ten!

Two of them|won't make Christmas!

I still can't understand what those men|have to do with you resigning!

They didn't join the army,Joe!|They joined me!

For three years|I've watched them fall,

and not one of'em quit|and not one of'em deserted!

Those that are left deserve|more than a pat on the back!!!

from some newspaper editor, and|I'm gonna see that they get it!

The army needs horses! Well, there's|plenty of horses in the Territory--

wild horses in Arizona and New Mexico--|and we're goin' after them!

- And sell them to the army?|- We're sure as hell not|gonna give 'em to the army!
