In Old Oklahoma Page #6

---

Well, I was never one for walking.

Besides, I owe you my life.

What would you like to do with it?

I'll give it right back to you,

and some advice with it.

Open the door and jump out.

Don't worry about me, lady.

As my granny always says...

I'm not interested in

your grandmother's old-fashioned ideas.

Hey, she ain't so...

You'd be surprised how modern she is.

She's three jumps ahead

of your favourite author.

I'm willing to pay you.

Just because you smoked a peace pipe,

don't hold me up.

Then I'm dumber than you think

or you ain't as smart as I think you are.

All right, Despirit, you win.

Arrange a powwow

with Big Tree for tomorrow.

Just a plain introduction?

- Just how plain?

- Oh, howdy, couple of OKs.

How much to say

what a great guy I am?

That'll cost you money.

If I'm stretching the truth,

I've got to get paid.

I've got a very delicate conscience.

(Laughing) Despirit, you're a burglar.

I'll add 200 and make it 1,000

for a class-A introduction.

Giddy-up, boy.

(Man) Congratulations, Lucky.

This ought to make you

a multimillionaire.

Thanks, boys. Sapulpa will be one

of the biggest towns in the southwest.

I'll be paying out more money...

Suppose you start paying me

for my coach, Mr "Lucky" Gardner?

Despirit! Are you

working for me or for him?

What do you mean

by letting my carriage trade walk?

Now, Bessie, before you get

all het up, let me explain.

It's my fault. I have with me

a distinguished author.

An author of what is destined

to become a classic.

- "A Woman Dares".

- (Man) Sounds exciting!

I'm sure you'll be as impressed

by the honour as I am.

When people of this calibre visit Sapulpa,

it means we're growing up.

I don't know what to say.

I'm sure your granny

could think of something apropos.

This is where I get out.

(Gardner) It is my privilege

to present our distinguished guest...

(Applauding)

I told you to leave town.

I couldn't get out till I got in, could I?

(Laughing)

This is our distinguished guest -

Miss Catherine Elizabeth Allen.

(Bessie) Welcome to Sapulpa.

(Catherine) Thank you.

Well, just goes to show,

you can't judge a book by its cover.

That's what my granny should've said.

Bessie, meet Daniel Somers,

a friend of mine.

That ain't gonna help him get a room.

I'm full up.

Wait a minute.

He tripped up Big Jim Gardner,

throwed him right on his face.

Well, pleased to meet you, son.

Fix him up with a room.

Come here, Daniel.

Get to the bar.

Say, this is real elegant.

Yeah. Finest in the territory.

(Jim) Bessie!

- Miss Baxter, Miss Allen.

- How do you do?

- Pleased to meet you.

- I'm leaving Miss Allen with you.

- Take care of her, won't you?
