- Yes. Martin.

- I was right. That serum wasn't any good.

Yes. Martin.

Now. I'm ready to go.

and we'll try mine in the morning.

Yes. Martin.

I'm gonna take it over to Henry's

and shoot all his cattle full.

Yes. Martin.

You see. I'm gonna try a different...

a different strength dose on every cow.

And then we can see which gets well

quickest and which dies quickest.

Yes. Martin.

Darling. are you hungry?

Darling. are you hungry?

Hungry?

Yes. by gosh. I'm famished.

- I'm not surprised. it's after 10:00.

- Well. let's have some dinner.

How can I cook dinner when

you're using the whole stove

to cook your old cow medicine?

We can have some sandwiches.

We've had nothing

but sandwiches for days!

What's the matter

with sandwiches. dear?

Five days. Henry.

and not a new case yet.

Not a one. Doc.

I thought she was a goner.

but she looks all right now.

By golly. Doc. you should be

state's vet in South Dakota.

I'm sorry about that pair. Henry.

You should have shoot

your stuff in them. too.

That's where you're wrong.

Listen. the ones we gave

the serum to are all right.

The ones we didn't give it to

are dead.

Don't you see? You have to try

both ways when you're experimenting.

That's how you find out

which way is best.

Well. I ain't kicking. Doc.

How much I owe you?

Forget it.

It was just for the fun.

Pretty good fun for me all right. Doc.

Thanks.

Next time you see Dr. Arrowsmith.

tell him for me that I don't stand

for this kind of monkey business.

and if he can't keep off my cattle.

he'd better keep out of my way.

I'll run him out of the state.

I'll see the governor. see that

his license is taken away from him.

Hiya. Doc.

How are ya. Doc?

- I've got some things to show you.

- You got nothing to show me.

- You know best.

- Where you been. Doc?

- You're quite a vet. Doc.

- Best in town.

- I'm back on the bellyaches now. though.

- That's where you belong.

- How's that?

- I say bellyaches is where you belong.

I don't want to say anything. Doc. but...

I don't quite like the tone in your voice.

- It's about time you understood...

- What?

Suppose you try understanding

that I've made a blackleg serum

that's better than yours.

because mine cures the cows.

and yours doesn't.

When you get that through your head.

drop over and I'll show you how

to make more like it.

If you think you're gonna discredit me

and then hold me up...

I'm not holding you up.

I'm giving you this.

Well. you see this?

It's what I'm giving you.

If you won't take the serum from me.

you'll take it from the government.

I've sent my reports and samples

in to Washington already.

Now. what was that
