then I stay here, as I always have.
If it falls forward towards you...
then it's -
Well, it's the law.
Here goes, Ann.
Well, Ann, you win.
It's the law.
Wonder if I could've
tipped it your way just a little.
Hello, Abe.
What are you doin' in Springfield?
Figurin' on
settin' myself up as a lawyer.
- What do you know about law, Abe?
- Not enough to hurt me.
You did, durn ya.! You did.!
- That's a lie.!
- I can prove it, I tell ya.!
- Then go ahead.!
- I got the law on my side.!
I'll show ya,
y-you -you durned thief!
Ah, gentlemen,
just hold your horses and sit down.
Now, Brother Woolridge?
Yes, sir?
Brother Hawthorne here says you agreed
to furnish him two yokes of oxen...
to break up 20 acres
of prairie sod ground.
He did such.
And that were to allow him to raise
a crop of corn on another piece of land.
That's right. But he never done
one thing he promised. Not one!
He claims further that when he talked
to you about these promises...
you did
"strike, beat and knock him down...
"pluck, pull and tear
large quantities of hair from his head...
"and that with stick or fists
you did strike him many blows...
"on or about the face, head,
breast, back, shoulders, hips...
"and diverse other parts of the body...
and with violence did push, thrust
and gouge your fingers in his eyes".
Yeah.
And for that
he demands $250 damages.
Yes, I do.
Well, Brother Woolridge,
what you got to say to that?
You forgot to put in there about me
whoppin' him with a neck yoke.
Now, it says here,
Brother Hawthorne...
that you owe Brother Woolridge
$55.47 board...
at the rate of
a dollar and a half a week.
You owe him $90 for use
of a team and wagon for eight months...
besides $100 cash on a loan.
- Yeah.
- Well, I never said I didn't.
Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator...
but accordin' to my figurin'...
you owe him 245 dollars...
and 47 cents.
You're askin' $250 damages.
Now, my idea's to
split the difference...
of $4.53...
which, by a strange coincidence...
happens to be exactly
And the whole thing's settled.
Well, what do you say?
- I won't do it!
- Me either!
I'll go to law first.
Gentlemen...
did you ever hear about the time
in the Black Hawk War when I...
butted two fellas' heads together...
and busted both of'em?
Well, I'm willin' if he is.
'Tain't fair, but I'll do it
just to be shut of him.
Thanks, gentlemen.
Well, that's gonna save us all
a heap of legal trouble...
and headaches.
Well, if you'd just give me
my and Stuart's share...
and see the parade.
It's gonna be
