Suppose I do...

and I'll do anything you tell me to.

I swear on God's holy name.

Alright.

I'll save you.

I gotta a job that'll work for you.

But if you try to hurt me,

you try and run away,

I'll kill you.

Take off the noose.

I need to collect my possibles.

This is Bob Giffen's place...

I never met him.

What happened to his sheep?

I eat 'em.

Now you even blasted up 'em vigilantes

and hanged, for jumping Bob's claim.

Hell! That's abandoned.

Look at it.

He didn't abandon nothing.

He just went back East, find himself a wife.

It's abandoned.

I'm sure is.

This is abandoned.

Damn...

Unhitch and stable the mules.

And tend to my mare, Dorothy.

and see to it that all the stock

on the place is fed and watered.

Getup that way now!

Getup there!

Where is Mr.Cuddy?

I'm unmarried.

What's the job?

Three women in this country

have lost their minds...

their husbands can't care for them properly.

You and I are gonna take them

back across the river to Iowa.

The Missouri River?

We're leave tomorrow.

Hell, that's five goddamn weeks from here!

I will not sit still for

profanity in my house.

I see why you're single!

I need someone who can hunt and guide

and spell me at the rains...

and help me with the animals on the trip.

That's why I set you free.

It's your job and you sworn you do it.

Three crazy women for five weeks

is a lot more than I bargained for.

If you lied to me...

and intent on abandoning your responsibility,

then you are a man of low character.

more, disgusting pig than honorable man

Thank you for the kind words, sister.

You know no pride in yourself...

plain as no ten pail and you are bossy!
