Ladies and gentlemen
your attention please.
What you are about to experience
is not a show for entertainment.
It is a review of the events
that made the American frontier.
In less than 15 years, this nation
will celebrate the 20th century.
We do not know
what awaits us in the future
but we do know
the past that laid the foundation.
And that foundation
was not built from heroes
but from the anonymous settler.
Their home was but a shack
roofed in with sod.
One door shut out the wind and storm
one window greeted the dawning day.
These brave souls
survived not only nature
but the savage instincts of man.
Paving the way
for the heroes that endured.
Get the rifle!
So welcome to the real events
enacted by men and women
of the American frontier.
To whose courage
strength, and above all, faith
this piece of history is dedicated.
Or:
Cease action!
From the beginning... one... two...
Are you in costume?
I want everybody in costume now.
Mr. Salsbury!
Yes?
What is it?
Don't touch him.
Get Eats Rabbit to the dispensary.
His name is Brown Horse.
Be careful with him.
Tell Joy not to get on the horse
from the back. Doesn't look authentic.
I was thinking of setting the hut
on fire. Not a bad idea.
So one day
I was walking through the camp.
I saw this
scrawny looking kid under a wagon.
I take one look at him
and I know I can make him a star.
I ask him his name.
He says, "Cody, Bill Cody."
I say, "What do you do?" He says
"I'm a scout and a buffalo hunter."
Well, I want to write about somebody.
I had all these new plots for Hickok
but I was mad at him.
So I say to the kid
"Your name is now Buffalo Bill
and in 6 months, the whole country
will know about you."
At a church service in Deadwood
a young man named William F. Cody.
I was so impressed
by his skill as a marksman
by his success as a hunter
that I named him
"Buffalo Bill."
Nate, take a look.
She's doing good with her left hand.
Show him, honey.
Beautiful. Just like the old missy.
The stories were a big success.
The kid is scared to death
about the legend I created
but ex cited about his new fame.
And I say one thing
just one thing
"Bill, any youngster figures
to set the world on fire
best not forget
where he got the matches.
I want you to back me up
on this one against Bill.
Which is why you've gotta make it
clear to Bill how serious it could be.
Are you listening to me, Nate?
Ex cuse me, we're trying to have
a conversation about Annie Oakley.
I don't want to push you, but I am her
husband and have a solemn duty...
Dammit, are you gonna tell him or not?
Maybe you
should tell him yourself, Frank.
What can I do for you?
All right, I will.
Major Burke's in there with him...
Oh yeah? It's damn important.
Good to see you, Frank.
My glass suddenly got empty. Could you
put a couple of fingers in there?
Thank you, Frank.
My pleasure. If you don't want to
play Mexicans I've got other people.
We still want to be part of the show.
You do? As Mexicans? No...
I used to play a colored.
Do I look like a colored? No, sir.
When I had to play a colored
I was a colored.
Good you can be
Rodriguez and Ricardo.
Or "Los latiguerros Mexico"
that has to do with whips.
Frank would you mind gettin' out
of my... Conference, Bill.
...my conference here
and waitin' like the others?
Ed!
Yes, sir?
I thought I said no interruptions.
Adios, pard. Wish me luck.
You got me, you don't need luck.
And anything historical is mine.
