to be here as anybody else.

Let me have your papers.

Now, this man

has been legally registered.

And according to law, he's got as much

right to make this land run as you have.

You heard what I said.

Now, go on, get back to your wagons.

The Indian stays.

Now, go on, break this up.

Go on. Now, move along, everybody.

Go on, move along.

I wanna tell you something, old man.

You try to run

that newspaper of yours up here...

...the same way you did down in Texas...

...you're gonna get buried here.

And I don't care who your friends are.

Let's go, Millis.

Man, you really are something, Sam.

- You can't keep out of trouble, can you?

- Now, why should I?

Why should you?

Honey, this is Sam Pegler.

This is my wife, Sabra.

Your what?

Well, ma'am, I'm pleased to meet you.

Mavis, come look

who's hooked himself a wife.

Oh, you poor girl.

What are you talking about?

Wait a minute.

Just don't pay no attention

to her, because...

This is Jessie Rickey.

- How do you do?

- You know what he is?

He's one of the best printers in the

business, when he's sober he is, that is.

Well, you know the last time he smiled,

it caused an earthquake.

- You done pretty good in that fight.

- How do you mean, pretty good?

He almost got himself killed,

risking his life for an Indian.

Sorry.

Suppose we, uh, give this fellow a hand

here and get this wagon turned up.

Sir, do you mind if we help you?

Why don't you get on that side here.

- Sam Pegler.

- Yancey Cravat.

- Sol Levy.

- My wife.

Tom, suppose you go down to that end.

Now, watch it when...

- Tom Wyatt.

- Jessie Rickey.

Sam, take good care of it.

Yeah, I'll watch it.

That's my wife.

All right, let's go all together. Heave!

- Why do they call you Cimarron?

- It's a long story.

He's mean and wild and crazy.

That's what the word means.

Come on, you wanna make her think

she married a wildcat?

She didn't marry a scat rabbit.

Do you know what you married?

A lunatic.

- He don't know what he wants.

- I do.

- Do you now? Now, do you?

- Of course I do.

How many things you been already?

A gambler, a gunman, a lawyer.

Now you wanna be a farmer. Bah.

No. I don't wanna be

a farmer, I wanna be a rancher.

- I give you just two months.

- That's different.

You'll be pulling

your hair out with both hands.

No. No, not this time.

This is the first time in my life

I've seen a piece of land and I said:

"This is what I want. "

More than anything, this is what I want.

You know how long

I've been dreaming about that land?

You know how long?

Ever since I used to ride herds

through this country.

I used to lean down, pick up

a big handful of that earth and smell it.
