arguing about what should be free

and what slave...

but the time will come...

and when it does,

this will be a territory to be proud of.

Quite right. Quite right.

A territory to be proud of.

Meanwhile, Mr. Briggs,

there is a fine to be paid.

Any of you gentlemen that feel up to it

may participate in the first round.

I mean any one of you gentlemen.

You got the $5, ain't you, Joe?

Mighty nice talk you give.

Probably won't do much good, though.

Somebody has to tell them off,

whether it helps or not.

You're sure doing a man's work

around this town, ain't you?

I keep busy.

Do you wear them jeans all the time?

Why?

Well, I packed a banjo

all the way from Saint Louis.

Thought I might serenade you tonight,

if you'd put on a dress.

You'll serenade me the way I am.

I mean...

I'll be busy tonight.

Music's for idlers anyway.

Thanks for the pie.

Keep the oven hot.

I don't want any serenading, now.

No serenading.

Haircut? Shave?

I could use a shave.

Fix you up in a jiffy.

You play a nice fiddle. I got a banjo.

Finest fiddle in the West.

I packed her 1,500 miles.

She never done bust a string.

Say, does Miss Phoebe Titus

live at her pie stand?

Yes, sir. Fine girl, Miss Phoebe.

Figuring on doing a little courting?

Maybe.

Let's fix you up sweet then.

Good close shave.

Some vanilla extract on your hair.

Yes, sir! Plenty of vanilla.

Don't shave me too short.

Who is that?

Do you want I should send him away?

Go on back to bed.

Can't you hear? I'm being serenaded.

- Was it good?

- I don't know.

I guess so, I've never been sung to before.

You look kind of pretty standing there.

Lots different than you did in that saloon.

I suppose it would please you more...

if I'd walk around town all day

in my nightshirt.

I think I could get used to them britches

if I stayed around long enough.

You figuring on leaving?

Sometime.

This Arizona Territory is worth looking into

for a man with ideas.

Maybe if you studied it some

you'd decide to stay.

Might be I'd settle down,

if I could get a job to suit me.

You mean one with something doing

all the time, to keep you on the move?

Yeah.

Say, how did you know that about me?

The way you go poking

into other people's troubles.

The way you talk.

The way you wear your hat.

Well, you sort of took an interest in me.

Yeah.

Arizona could use fellas like you right now.

Maybe something will turn up.

You sure are a calculating woman.

I wouldn't say what I said...

if I didn't like you some.

Much obliged.

Same to you.

Play some more music.

- Fancy or courting?

- Just music.

Howdy, Johnny.

Howdy, Miss Phoebe.

- Morning, Solomon.

- Sorry I missed the commotion yesterday.
