- How's that, Vashti?

Mort Snythe and I were married yesterday

in Hermosa.

I'm gonna kiss him!

I guess that leaves only me.

Why, Luz, everybody in the county knows

you'd rather herd cattle than make love!

One thing you gotta say for cattle:

You put your brand on one of them,

you know where it's at!

Come and get it!

The best food you ever ate, honey.

This is real Mexican "barbacoa".

That's where we get the word "barbecue".

What is that?

Calf's head.

We take it and wrap it in clean white cloth

and then wrap it tight in canvas...

and put it down in a pit

of hot mesquite coals for 18 hours.

And do those brains taste sweet!

How fascinating!

I don't think I'm really terribly hungry.

It must be the heat.

You call this hot?

Wait till July!

Eat it while it's hot!

What's the matter with her, Bick?

That's what I was afraid of!

Leslie?

Good morning, Luz.

What are you doing up?

Getting breakfast.

I think there's something

we should get in the clear.

I don't want to take your place.

I want you to know that.

But I can't have you

taking my place either.

I can't be just a guest

in my husband's house.

There you are.

Good morning, darling.

- How are you feeling?

- Fine.

You look fine.

I want everybody to know, no matter

what happens around here in the future...

I am never going to faint again.

I'll never get the hang of you,

Mrs. Benedict.

A horse that cost you a lot

for breeding stock, I'd use it for breeding.

I wouldn't let anyone ride him.

I wouldn't care if she's your wife.

I'd see she rides a more gentle animal

if I were you.

She's going to fall off and break her neck.

That's Old Polo. He's head "vaquero".

He's been here longer than any of us.

Since Grandpa Benedict's time.

Look at them, honey!

There's never been anything like them

in this world, I can tell you.

Did you ever see such stock?

Are they all ours?

These and 49,000 others just like them.

Granddaddy and his boys

used to drive his longhorns...

great herds of them,

all the way to Kansas.

He was a pretty good old boy.

I mean, he was tough, too.

My old man brought in stock from Europe

and bred them in the best ways.

Look out!

This right here is the result, honey.

Look at them.

How are you doing?

Tired, honey?

Don't you worry about me.

I'm a tough Texan now.

You know, I love you, Tex.

Howdy, everybody.

Hold on a minute. I want you

to take Mrs. Benedict back in with you.

Go with Jett, and get out of this heat.

Honey, I'm fine, really.

There's no use overdoing it.

Go along with Jett.

Good morning, Jett.

Take it easy, Jett.

I don't want to chew on this, Bick...

but I think we'd better get it straight.
