01:07Hello, Crisco.
01:09Howdy.
01:13Sure have a lucky break.
01:17Where's the warden?
01:20Be right back.
01:22Hey, what are you going to do now?
01:25Be a preacher or something?
01:28I'm picking up right where I left off.
01:32Only this time, I'm going to be too smart for the cops.
01:36Yeah.
01:43Hey, listen.
01:46I get out in about two months.
01:48Maybe you and I could team up.
01:52Not Nate.
02:05I got a tip on an easy haul.
02:07A cinch.
02:09Small town bank.
02:17Let me see it.
02:19Not now.
02:20Maybe, if you change your mind after I get out...
02:47I suppose you understand what a parole means.
02:50Yes, sir.
02:52I think I do.
03:17An parole board assumes that you intend to obey the law.
03:24Yes, sir. I understand.
03:27And if you don't,
03:29that you'll have to serve your remaining 20-year sentence.
03:33Yes, sir.
03:35And the next time,
03:37the question of your guilt will be entirely up to the board.
03:41Yes, sir.
03:45Stop that.
04:04I guess that'll be all.
04:07Good luck.
04:09Thank you, sir.
04:15Hello, Frisco.
04:18Hello, O'Hara.
04:20Kind of off your beat, aren't you?
04:23Well, I've been doing a little work for the parole board.
04:27And I've been in the spot to put in a plug for you.
04:31Yeah.
04:32You cops are a kind-hearted bunch.
04:35Makes me want to throw my arms around your neck and kiss you.
04:41Well, when I find a guy trying to go straight,
04:45I like to lend him my moral support.
04:48I don't need any from you.
04:51Have a jelly bean?
04:53No, thanks.
04:55I'll be seeing you, Frisco.
04:57Oak.
05:41Hello, buddy.
05:44Hello.
05:46Is there a night train out of here?
05:49If there is, I don't know about it.
05:52Pretty tough guy, huh?
05:54A guy's got to be tough to get by up here.
05:57You seem to be a regular guy.
06:00When I get my pay at the mill,
06:02I'll buy you an ice cream soda.
06:04Yeah, I'll be waiting around here until Thursday.
06:07Thursday?
06:10Is that when they pay you at the mill?
06:12Yeah.
06:15They pay you in cash or in checks?
06:18I don't know about that.
06:20Say, what's your record?
06:22What?
06:23I'm an undercover man in a blanket factory.
06:26Hey there, you fellers.
06:31Young fella, firing a horse without the owner's consent is stealing.
06:35But I gave them the law and you come along with me.
06:37Wait a minute.
06:39How much is he worth?
06:40None of your business.
06:41Stealing is stealing.
06:42But I need a horse.
06:44Maybe I'll buy him.
06:45What do you want for him?
06:47Well, $25.
06:49He ain't worth it, mister.
06:51All right.
06:52Let's make it $30 and throw in the saddle.
06:56By turning the kid loose as part of the bargain.
06:58Oh, no.
06:59Pay the penalty.
07:01Call him my kid.
07:02That's perfectly legal.
07:03I'm talking about legal business.
07:05Besides, you're a total stranger.
07:08Do you want any represent?
07:09Why?
07:10Do you happen to know anyone in Frisco?
07:13Well, I correspond with the chief of police.
07:17That's fine.
07:19I know him well.
07:21In fact, I visited with him a long time.
07:24You did?
07:25Yeah.
07:26Yeah, he spoke of you lots of times.
07:28Why should he do that?
07:29Well, you see, me and the chief correspond a lot.
07:32Oh, he sends me lots of circulars and pictures.
07:35Oh, did he send you any lately?
07:38No, not for much.
07:41Hey, what about the horse?
07:44I want my money.
07:45Oh, my friend will take care of that.
07:48$30 on this.
07:49See you out, boy.
07:53I'll see that the kid gets home.
07:55All right, do that.
08:02All right.
08:33Up here.
08:35When are you boys going to start getting those logs down?
08:37The mill's yelling for them.
08:39Sam, he is afraid of the law.
08:41He says we ain't got no right.
08:42Oh, never mind the law.
08:43I'll take care of that.
08:44What we want is those logs.
08:46Up here, boys.
08:48There's been enough stalling about this.
08:50I told you before, I've said it over and over again.
08:52I want those logs.
08:53I'm not going to wait much longer for them either.
08:58Got out of that one all right.
08:59All right.
09:00What do you mean?
09:01They've been trying to get something on me.
09:02But I'm too smart for them.
09:05What's that?
09:06Stay false.
09:07Where'd you get them?
09:08Swiped them at the hardware store.
09:12You're taking them right back.
09:14Don't you know it's wrong to steal?
09:15Oh, wait a minute.
09:16Come on.
09:17Wait, let's get the horse.
09:32The horse is swell.
09:34But you're a simp, paying five bucks for this saddle
09:37that ain't worth four bids.
09:39Stop worrying about the five bucks.
09:42I'm going to put Man O'War away.
09:43Come on.
10:02Come on.
10:03Let's go.
10:32How do you do?
10:42I came up with Buddy.
10:44Yes?
10:50He told me about the Gaspers.
10:52Yes?
10:54I believe you have some right to do it.
10:56We've had enough advice from strangers.
11:24Thought you'd do one with a bed, huh?
11:26What was I doing?
11:28Yes.
11:29What was I doing?
11:30I don't know.
11:31Tell me.
11:32I was laying down.
11:34Oh.
11:35Then I'll pull your tire up and get the door, Buddy.
11:40Oh, you wouldn't want to do that, would you?
11:41Oh, try to.
11:43Why?
11:44If I can, just hit this old tire off.
11:49Would you like that, Ty?
11:50No.
11:54It's a little more like this.
11:56Well, that's good enough.
11:58Mm-hmm.
11:59Yes, that's fine.
12:00See?
12:01Yeah.
12:02Now look, that way, see?
12:03Mm-hmm.
12:07It ain't much, mister, but make yourself at home.
12:10That's Sissy and that's Queenie.
12:12They're my sisters.
12:14Where are you going, Buddy?
12:16Keep on Old Man Yeager's horse for me.
12:18I've got to have a blanket for him.
12:20Just sit down, mister.
12:24If it's too dirty to suit you here,
12:26you can find a trail outside where you left it.
12:29I'm sorry.
12:34My, Queenie, but your face is all black.
12:36Well, why don't you give me a bath?
12:40I can't do that.
12:42Yes, you can.
12:43No, I can't.
12:44Yes, you can.
12:45No, I can't.
12:46Yes, you can.
12:47Hell, yeah.
12:49It's a little water.
12:51Now you have to get undressed.
12:52Okay.
12:54Let me try to take off my shoes and buttons.
12:59Want me to help you?
13:00No.
13:01Give me the shoe.
13:08That was a hard pull.
13:10Yes, take off.
13:11Yeah.
13:12Yes.
13:13Yeah.
13:14Take off.
13:15Take off.
13:16Take off.
13:17Take off.
13:18Yes.
13:19Yeah, stand up there.
13:20You like to take a bath?
13:21Yes.
13:22You do, huh?
13:25I want to take all my clothes off.
13:27Well, wait a minute.
13:28How do you get out of that?
13:31Oh, I hear the button.
13:32I forgot that.
13:34Like that, you take it off.
13:37Put it off like that.
13:39Now what else?
13:40Put this off.
13:41You do?
13:42Yes.
13:44Take my pants off.
13:47Take my pants off.
13:49Now, come here.
13:52My eyes and my shoes.
13:54Huh?
13:55My eyes.
13:56Your eyes, too?
13:57Uh-huh.
13:59Are you washing my eyes?
14:01Sure, I'm washing your eyes.
14:03Not with soap.
14:04No.
14:05Because I know you don't like...
14:06Not with my back.
14:08Not with your back.
14:09I need a plastic thing that hurts.
14:12Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
14:19You're mighty dirty.
14:20You know that, don't you?
14:28Good shot.
14:30Maybe the kid told him we're going to take that timber.
14:32He must have had some reason for coming up here.
14:36Say, he's going to be in our way.
14:42Here, put this stuff away.
14:44I'll go up to Shanna's shack and see what I can find out.
14:46All right.
14:48I'll meet you up on the hill.
14:50Don't forget to bring a rifle.
14:58I got you now.
14:59Now let him...
15:01Now let him have that right foot.
15:05Wait a minute, wait a minute.
15:08Let him have the right foot.
15:10Here's the right foot.
15:11That's right.
15:33Put on your dress, huh?
15:34Yeah.
15:35Where's your clean dress?
15:36I don't have no clean dress.
15:38You haven't got a clean dress?
15:40No.
16:10Here we go.
16:12Here we go.
16:38Here we go.
16:39It goes this way.
16:40Oh, doesn't it go down?
16:41No, it goes up.
16:43Well, look.
16:44That's all wrong, isn't it?
16:45It is not.
16:49I'm all wrong, huh?
16:50Yeah.
16:51I'll put your alarm through there.
16:53It goes...
16:55You put it wrong side up.
17:00I'm going away with this stuff.
17:02Now we'll take these off too, huh?
17:04You don't take all my hats off.
17:07But I have to.
17:08They're so dirty, Pete.
17:09We'll get some clean ones.
17:12Now, don't you feel better?
17:13Yeah.
17:22Don't you speak to me after what you've done to my father.
17:25Oh, you mustn't talk like that, sissy.
17:27It's true.
17:28You knew more than you were willing to tell.
17:30How do you get such notions?
17:33Well, don't you worry, nun girl.
17:35Anytime you want, you can come over to my place and stay.
17:59Howdy, stranger.
18:00Casper is my name.
18:01Glad to meet you.
18:03I heard about you.
18:04Is it all right to discuss our business in front of the stranger?
18:07We've got no business to discuss.
18:09And the sooner you get off this place, the better our life.
18:11Her old man owed me 200 bucks.
18:13That's a lie.
18:14You haven't got anything on paper.
18:16I can prove that when the time comes.
18:18In the meantime, we're going to start cutting logs.
18:21If you touch a single tree on this place, I'll...
18:23You'll tend to your own business.
18:24Oh, well, what the...
18:26We've waited long enough.
18:27We're going to start cutting.
18:29Hey, what is it all about?
19:00What's the matter?
19:04I'm going to town to get the money.
19:07Has anyone in that town got $200?
19:10They have in the bank, I guess.
19:12I'll take a look into it.
19:13Oh, I won't do any good.
19:15Old man's purse and cape doesn't work for twice.
19:17I might try.
19:19I'm going to town to get the money.
19:21Has anyone in that town got $200?
19:23They have in the bank, I guess.
19:25I'll take a look into it.
19:26Oh, I won't do any good.
19:27I might try.
19:58Good morning.
19:59Good morning.
20:02I want a room fronting on the street.
20:04On the front street?
20:06Yeah.
20:07What's the matter? Afraid of fires?
20:10No, I'm crazy about parades.
20:12I love parades.
20:15Yeah.
20:28Timber!
20:40Hey, Sam! Sam!
20:44The gaffers are cutting down the trees.
20:46Where?
20:47Over the ridge.
20:48I'll go tell Sissy.
20:58Timber!
21:17Jack, that's a beauty.
21:18Yeah, not bad.
21:20Give me that axe.
21:21I'll mark that one over there.
21:23All right.
21:28You fellas have to stop right now.
21:30Oh, yeah?
21:46Come on, Jack.
21:47Cut it out.
21:57Come on.

26:19Come on.
26:20Come on.
26:21You were gay mister… but he was too much for you.
26:36I'd be all right now.
26:39You can lean on my shoulder.
26:45I'll be back as soon as I see my banker.
26:49Can I go along, Phil?
26:51No, not this trip.
26:53It'll be late when I come back.
26:55I'll leave a light in the shed for you.
26:57You're bonkers already.
26:59Isn't it, Phil?
27:03Good night.
27:04Good night.
27:06Good night.
27:12Can't figure it out.
27:15He says he wants to see parades.
27:18Now you know, Jed, we've never had a parade here.
27:21Nope.
27:23Something mighty strange is going on around here.
27:26But I'm right on the job.
27:30Let's see that signature again.
29:14Now let's get down to business.
29:44It won't do my reputation any good to be seen in this kind of a place.
29:48Ah, there's a fitting place to do our kind of business, Mr. Perkins.
29:52Besides, we all know you're collecting a rent here.
29:55Let's forget about that.
30:12Hello, Frisco.
30:16Hello, O'Hara.
30:22How'd you get way up here?
30:25I just followed my nose.
30:28Have a jelly bean?
30:31Frisco, you know, I think I could find you in the dark.
30:36You're a pretty clever fella.
30:39You're a pretty clever fella.
30:42This time you're a big chump.
30:46How do you make that out?
30:48That tin can in the bank across the street will pay you for your time.
30:53Figuring it'll take you 20 years.
31:02Well, if you want those logs out in a hurry, I've got to have choppers.
31:06In order to get choppers, I need some dough.
