- Hold it!

- You're fired!

Can't be fired. I ain't been hired.

She's a header!

She'll be bustin' through any second!

Hello. You hear that cat purr?

- She's gonna blow in.

- Yeah.

Why aren't those tools

under that casing?

- The cables are fouled!

- Get up there, free 'em.

Then be blown up with it?

I want those tools out now!

Stand by to hoick them.

Liked it the way it was.

Stuff sure smells, don't it?

It smells of life

and love and freedom.

It smells beautiful.

Well, to me, it just smells.

All clear! Take 'em away!

Clear off.

(Heavy rattling)

Here she comes!

(All cheering)

Yes, sir, that proves it.

Right on a straight line.

- Yeah, the Indian lands.

- Right.

And that's where the big pool is.

And that's where you're gonna

spot in my next well.

There are millions over there.

You'd better shut her in.

All right, men.

Let's put this kitten to bed.

He's turning this

into a throbbing new world!

Yeah? Well, I liked it the way it was.

Before he got it all messed up.

Great work, Rich.

See you in town tonight.

Biggest one yet, eh, Wilkins?

- And, by rights, it's part mine.

- What do you mean yours?

Everything I had went into this well.

This was my land.

You didn't lose it

running out of money.

You lost it because

you haven't got guts for oil.

I'd have sucked it out before selling.

Look, Mr Gardner,

I don't know what's legal,

but I'm getting what's coming to me!

I'm sick of hearing you cry.

I gave you fellas jobs.

Collect your pay and get off my land.

Your land? It's your land,

according to law.

And nobody can take it away from you!

Well, I can!

Cos if the way you got it is legal, so's this.

Thanks, cowboy.

What's the big idea?

You really didn't want to catch

that little fella, did you?

I ought to break his neck. Yours too.

I got no steady side in this fight.

When he had a gun and you didn't,

that was unfair.

So what?

So when you took out after him

with 75 pounds, which he ain't got,

that was taking

a little advantage too.

You're asking for this.

I'm gonna break your thick skull.

Oh, please, Mr Gardner!

After all, he did save your life.

All right, Kitten, you can

consider you saved his life.

Now get out of town, cowboy,

before I change my mind.

Go on.

Please, go!

I wish you'd make up your mind.

A while ago you wanted me to stay,

now you want me to go.

Oh... my!

Things are happening so fast,

it's like a... a two-ring circus!

You've only seen

the sideshow out here.

You'll have to wait till we get in town

for the main event.

I hope you won't be lonesome.

I'm riding up front.

I have some business with Despirit.

Of course. Business comes first.

We can talk later.

What are you doing in here?

Ethel Hill

Ethel Hill (April 6, 1898, Sacramento, California – May 17, 1954, Hollywood, California) was an American screenwriter and race horse owner.When Dore Schary first went to work for Columbia Pictures as a new screenwriter, he was paired with the veteran Hill to learn from her; together, they wrote the screenplay for Fury of the Jungle (1933). Hill was described by Marc Norman in his book What Happens Next: A History of American Screenwriting as "an extremely dear and generous woman [who] had an interest in horses and often wore jodhpurs and riding gear to the studio." Perhaps her best known film is The Little Princess (1939), starring Shirley Temple. Hill bought the Thoroughbred race horse War Knight, a son of Preakness winner High Quest, as a foal "with her $1500 life savings". He went on to win 10 of 28 starts, including the 1944 Arlington Handicap. He was injured in 1945 and did not win any of his five 1946 starts leading up to the $100,000 added Santa Anita Handicap, which he proceeded to win in a photo finish. He retired to stud afterward. more…
