Wait a minute, boys.

Don't be in such a hurry with that rope.

Easy on the proboscis.

Explain it as I would, buttercakes.

- You've got the wrong man.

- You claim you never saw the bandit's face.

How do you know he's not the man?

- After all, he was found with this mask.

- Anyone could have a mask.

I just returned from a masquerade.

I impersonated the Ubangi.

Ridiculous. He just returned from stepping on my face.

They're both lying. She's as bad as he is.

She works hand in glove with him.

Come on, put her in jail and lock her up.

Wait a minute, ladies. I hardly think

it's necessary to lock her up...

if she gives us her word

that she won't leave town.

Leave town?

Are you gonna let her hoodwink you

the way she did in Little Bend?

No!

Lock her up.

- Doing your homework?

- Yup.

Need any help?

Whiskers were always my weakness.

I was just thinking, you look

a lot like President Grant around the edges.

You don't mean that, do you?

You know, I got to admit your whiskers attract me.

Gosh, you are the first pretty woman

what ever took a hankering to me.

You make me feel right pert.

A rendezvous with a goat.

Looks like the late Earl of Muffington.

Honey, I could stand a drink of water.

Go get me one.

Sure will.

That's a good boy.

Now, for being so nice, you can part

the sagebrush and give me a kiss.

Gosh.

Open that door and let me out of here.

Hurry up or I'll blow your ears off.

I've been slickered.

Get in there and keep the Sheriff company.

The literature.

See you later...

Why did you slam the clink on me

and keep me in stir? Is the honeymoon over?

Quiet. I'm doing this for your good.

How can I prove you ain't the bandit

if I'm locked up in there?

I got to be on the outside to do things.

If you break out, too, they'll figure you're

guilty for sure and swing you in the breeze.

Swinging gives me stomachache.

You ain't fooling.

Give me that literature.

A man's got to be plumb crazy

to put a woman like Flower Belle in jail.

She hasn't done anything wrong.

And as for that tenderfoot sheriff...

why, he couldn't keep his nose out of a bottle long enough to hold up a dog's tail,

much less a stagecoach....

Go ahead and hang him if you want

your fun. I got no love for him.

Boss, she's broke jail. She got clean away.

- No.

- What do you know about that?

Now, there's a woman after my own heart.

She even beat me to the draw.

She's in your office now.

Says she's got to see you right away.

She does? I won't keep her waiting none.

- What's up?

- You got to help. I can't stand by and see him hang for that outlaw.

What about this outlaw?

I heard you were friendly with him.

Just a midnight acquaintance.

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
