Pull up here.
I said, pull up.
You, shotgun, stand up!
Throw me my rifle.
All right, boys, you can move out.
From now on,
we're going in different directions.
Well, git!
Morning, Bart. I was beginning to think
that coach was never gonna get here.
- Looks like it woke you up.
- Well, waiting makes a man sleepy.
I've been over in that hollow
since yesterday afternoon.
Kind of scared the coach
might pass me during the night.
The way he's traveling now, though,
he'd have been by here two days ago.
I'd have missed you altogether.
Rough as you look, though,
I can't say as I blame him.
Sam, you sure it's him?
Well, of course I'm sure.
There ain't a hundred Tate Kimbroughs.
There could be,
but I'm only interested in one.
Well, wait till you see him for yourself.
You'll know that's the one.
- He's a big man in Sundown?
- The biggest.
He's got that town in his fist
and he's squeezing it hard.
Ain't heard the folks complain much.
Guess they're all scared.
Glad to hear he's doing so well.
When a man's riding high,
and hits him a lot harder when he falls.
Well, why don't you rest a little while?
You know I ain't had nothing to eat
since yesterday.
We could make a little fire and cook up...
We'll be eating when we get to Sundown.
- Today's not Sunday.
- Thursday.
What's all the commotion?
- Tate Kimbrough's getting married.
- Today? Why didn't you tell me?
Well, I didn't reckon it was important.
Sam, folks say the most important moment
in a man's life is when he gets married.
Well, I wouldn't know about that.
- There's a pretty good eating house down...
- Where's the barbershop?
Over there.
I'm not going to miss the most important
moment in Tate Kimbrough's life.
A man shouldn't go to a wedding
with stubble on his face.
A man shouldn't go to a wedding
Go ahead and fill it.
No reason for you to go,
stomach empty or full.
You'll have to come back
this afternoon, mister.
This is my last customer. I'm closing up.
I'll be open again at 2:00.
- What time's the big wedding today?
- In about half an hour.
Ain't you almost finished with him?
Shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes
to shave my whiskers.
I told you, mister, I'm closing up.
You wouldn't be going to a wedding
looking like this, would you, Mr. Barber?
- No, but...
- That's what I mean.
- I told you, I'm closing up.
- You told him three times.
You don't mind if I shave myself?
- Well, no. No, sir, I don't mind, not at all.
- Thanks.
Go ahead.
I take it you're good friends
of Mr. Kimbrough.
Do you?
Well, it looks like you've come a long way
to attend his wedding.
We've come a long way.
Mr. Kimbrough is a very lucky man.
He's marrying up
with Miss Lucy Summerton,
the finest and prettiest
young lady in Sundown.
Sounds like you think might highly of her.
Oh, yes, I certainly do.
Lady like that's making a big mistake
marrying a man
as rotten as Tate Kimbrough.
I guess you've figured out now
we ain't friends of Mr. Kimbrough's.
You shouldn't talk like that
about Mr. Kimbrough.
Thank you, Mr. Summerton.
Oh, Bart, Mr. Summerton here
is Lucy's papa.
Yeah?
That's a shame.
Good morning, Mr. Summerton.
- Good morning, Doctor.
- How is Lucy feeling today?
Both the Summertons are enjoying
excellent health, I am happy to say.
Well, I wasn't inquiring about her health.
Being a physician,
that should be your only concern.
Honey!
Ruby!
I was just watching Mr. Summerton ride
down the street in his fine buggy.
- Of course, you made sure that he saw you.
