00:00:22 Love in the country, where skies are blue,

00:00:31 All you'll be dreaming of are the birds and the bees

00:00:36 And the flowers and the trees 'til you're up to your knees in love.

00:00:40 There's a treehouse in the meadow, below the mountain peak,

00:00:44 The perfect place for lovers when they play hide and seek.

00:00:48 There's a covered bridge, a crippled prick, where the horses always stop,

00:00:52 Between the treehouse and the covered bridge, that's how mom one-popped by me.

00:00:57 Love in the country, where skies are blue,

00:01:06 All you'll be dreaming of are the birds and the bees

00:01:11 And the flowers and the trees 'til you're up to your knees in love.

00:01:14 There are roses on the trellis, and the scent of new-mown hay,

00:01:19 The clinging vine is jealous on the fence across the way.

00:01:23 There's a great big yellow moon above and a breeze to sing a song,

00:01:27 Between the roses and the yellow moon,

00:01:30 Well, love can't go wrong if he makes love in the country.

00:01:36 Where skies are blue, all you'll be dreaming of are the birds and the bees

00:01:45 And the flowers and the trees 'til you're up to your knees in love.

00:01:51 [music]

00:02:04 [children playing]

00:02:20 Lord to goodness, not again.

00:02:25 [music]

00:02:39 Howdy, Drago.

00:02:40 Morning, Curly.

00:02:41 Make seven times this month he come home swoggin'.

00:02:45 Oh, six.

00:02:46 Seven.

00:02:47 Six once was his birthday.

00:02:48 That don't count. Give me my buggy.

00:02:50 Didn't have anything for breakfast but two raw eggs and a mug of honey.

00:02:54 No.

00:02:55 Curly!

00:02:56 Yes, boss?

00:02:57 [dog whining]

00:03:00 Don't say it's a fine morning or I'll shoot ya.

00:03:03 [dog whining]

00:03:06 Get outta here, Funyun.

00:03:08 [doorbell buzzing]

00:03:09 Good morning.

00:03:10 Morning.

00:03:11 [doorbell buzzing]

00:03:12 Carlos, what are you doing up there?

00:03:14 I hope I get it this time, Mr. McClintock.

00:03:16 My brothers, they got the big hats already.

00:03:28 All right, let 'em have at it.

00:03:31 [gunshot]

00:03:33 [music]

00:03:44 Get over.

00:03:45 You won't let me drive?

00:03:46 You promised me you would sometime.

00:03:48 No.

00:03:49 Yeah.

00:03:51 Boss, you better watch that turn on the road.

00:03:53 You're gonna kill both of us one of these days.

00:04:00 Thank you, Mr. Boss.

00:04:02 [music]

00:04:19 You got cattle in the back, boss.

00:04:21 [cattle mooing]

00:04:27 Hyah!

00:04:29 Give it up, hyah!

00:04:32 [cattle mooing]

00:04:48 Keep 'em going.

00:04:50 Fifteen cents a pound all the way to Kansas City.

00:04:54 Hyah!

00:04:56 Hyah!

00:04:57 [cattle mooing]

00:05:00 [music]

00:05:18 [cattle mooing]

00:05:21 [music]

00:05:41 Now, boss, there's one old pensioner I wished you would pass up.

00:05:49 Bunny?

00:05:50 Yeah.

00:05:51 I knew her. I'd seen his face before.

00:05:53 He ain't an old-timer. He's just been around town a couple of years.

00:05:56 Oh, you have no milk of human kindness.

00:06:01 Morning, Mr. McLinick.

00:06:03 Morning, Bunny.

00:06:04 Well, I can see you're in good health.

00:06:06 Never felt better, contrary to what you may hear.

00:06:10 Me, my kidneys ain't what they used to be, and my liver's been leaving me billies.

00:06:16 Drago?

00:06:17 Hey.

00:06:24 Hello, Ben.

00:06:25 Hey, McLinick.

00:06:29 Drago, throw that in the buggy.

00:06:31 Yes, sir.

00:06:33 Scrubby bunch of Sooners, huh?

00:06:36 They aren't that.

00:06:39 But it ought to make Douglas happy, lining his pockets with land fees.

00:06:44 What are we gonna do?

00:06:47 I don't know what you're gonna do, Ben.

00:06:49 Me, I do nothing.

00:06:51 Two hundred families.

00:06:52 Quarter of beef a week for family.

00:06:55 They last two years. That can be a sizable number.

00:06:58 I got 20 head to one of any other brand on the Mesa Verde.

00:07:03 I'm not hollering.

00:07:05 Some of us haven't got all the money in the world.

00:07:08 Some of us ain't old and tired and feel like being put upon.

00:07:12 If you interest me, young Ben, go on.

00:07:15 So the first time I find one of our hides wearing our brand hung on one of them settlers' fences,

00:07:22 I aim to kill me a plowboy.

00:07:25 You do what you want, McLinick.

00:07:27 We'll do what we want.

00:07:29 Fellas my age generally call me GW or McLinick.

00:07:34 Youngsters call me Mr. McLinick.

00:07:39 All right, Mr. McLinick.

00:07:41 Not because I'm afraid of you.

00:07:43 You're the big he's stud of this country.

00:07:45 And I reckon a fella my age should call you Mr.

00:07:49 He's full grown now, GW.

00:07:52 He's a half owner of his spread.

00:07:55 I made him a full partner the day the doc gave me the long face.

00:07:59 Well, you want him to vote the first time this territory becomes a state, don't you?

00:08:03 Of course I do.

00:08:05 These settlers get burned out, there'll be a lot of hollering that this country's too wild to be a state.

00:08:11 We'll go on being a territory some more, with a lot of political appointees running in according to

00:08:18 what they learned in some college where they think that cows are something you milk,

00:08:23 Indians are something in front of a cigar store.

00:08:27 I'm looking to you to hold young Ben down.

00:08:30 I'll do what I can.

00:08:34 Come over to the house once in a while, we'll rack up a few hands instead.

00:08:37 GW, that'll be just fine.

00:08:51 It's a nice morning, ain't it boss?

00:08:53 Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.

00:08:56 Like that again, eh?

00:08:57 Here's something that'll cheer you up.

00:08:59 About a thousand head, I figure they'll bring about twelve fifty.

00:09:02 They're not as fat as I'd like to ship them.

00:09:05 They all off the north range?

00:09:06 Yes, sir.

00:09:10 Settlers, every one of them with a plow and a Bible, not the slightest idea what the range is for.

00:09:17 Drago, drag out that hog leg.

00:09:21 Yes, sir.

00:09:22 Get me some attention.

00:09:27 People, people, people, people.

00:09:37 Come on, all of you, gather around.

00:09:40 People, come on, gather around.

00:09:46 I'm McClintock.

00:09:48 You people plan to homestead and farm the Mesa Verde?

00:09:51 Yes, sir.

00:09:52 The government give us each a hundred and sixty acres.

00:09:55 The government never gave anybody anything.

00:09:58 Some years back, a lot like you came in.

00:10:01 You had a pretty good first year, good summer, easy winter.

00:10:05 But the next year, the last rain was in February.

00:10:09 And by June, even the jackrabbits had sense enough to get off the mesa.

00:10:13 Folks, do you know who that is?

00:10:16 That's McClintock.

00:10:18 George Washington McClintock.

00:10:20 I told him that, Douglas.

00:10:23 He controls the water rights on two hundred square miles of range.

00:10:29 You know that lumber you got?

00:10:31 It came from his land.

00:10:33 Cut by his loggers and milled in his mills.

00:10:36 Douglas, I come close to killing you a couple of times when we were younger.

00:10:41 Saddens me I didn't.

00:10:43 Can you imagine a man who owns all that?

00:10:46 Oh, and mines too, I forgot to mention that.

00:10:50 All that.

00:10:51 And he's begrudging poor people a measly, a measly one hundred sixty acres.

00:10:57 That right, Mr. McClintock?

00:10:59 You begrudge us a little free land?

00:11:01 There's no such thing as free land.

00:11:04 If you make these homesteads go, you'll have earned every acre of it.

00:11:07 But you just can't make them go on the Mesa Verde.

00:11:11 God made that country for buffalo.

00:11:14 Serves pretty well for cattle.

00:11:16 But it hates the plow.

00:11:19 And even the government should know that you can't farm six thousand feet above sea level.

00:11:25 Any trouble, Mr. McLintock?

00:11:27 No trouble, Jeff.

00:11:29 How about you, Douglas?

00:11:40 Douglas?

00:11:42 Just plain Douglas, eh?

00:11:44 And you call him Mr. McLintock.

00:11:46 Why?

00:11:48 Well, Douglas, I guess it's because he earned it.

00:11:51 Mr. McLintock?

00:12:00 Yeah?

00:12:01 I'm a good hand with cattle, Mr. McLintock.

00:12:03 I'd like a job.

00:12:05 Well, you look strong enough.

00:12:07 You come in with those sewers?

00:12:09 Well, yes, sir, but we don't have a homestead and...

00:12:12 Can't use you.

00:12:15 [Grunts]

00:12:17 Tough life, ain't it, Sonny?

00:12:31 Well, ain't much future in being a farmer around these parts.

00:12:36 [Horn Honking]

00:12:38 Ladies, this is the finest Chantilly lace available anywhere.

00:13:00 Chantilly, Mr. Birnbaum.

00:13:02 Well, believe me, it's the best.

00:13:04 Oh, excuse me, please, look around, take your time.

00:13:07 Drago, I got a thousand Havana cigars and 12 of those hats for you over there.

00:13:11 Them fair big hats ain't gonna last long...

00:13:13 the way some folks have been differing into that red eye these days.

00:13:17 Uh-oh.

00:13:19 Good morning, G.W.!

00:13:20 Good morning. I stole some stick candy.

00:13:22 Please, help yourself. Come on in.

00:13:25 Davey, you can forget about saddling up the horse.

00:13:31 Come in here.

00:13:33 Problem?

00:13:34 Yes.

00:13:36 Well, if I were blacks, I'd move queen's bishop to king four.

00:13:40 Yeah, you might be right.

00:13:45 You know, I was just starting to work this out when the letter came.

00:13:48 Letter?

00:13:49 What happened? Don't you want it?

00:13:51 Morning, Mr. McLintock.

00:13:52 Morning, Davey.

00:13:53 You being here saved me a trip.

00:13:56 Oh, that hat and suit of clothes you picked out for my birthday?

00:13:59 Well, instead of this cowboy hat, I'd like to have this one...

00:14:04 if it's all right with you, sir.

00:14:06 Well, if it's all right with me, Davey.

00:14:08 Of course, that looks like the kind of a hat a fellow'd wear down Main Street to start a fight.

00:14:13 Oh, I don't need a city hat for that.

00:14:15 All I have to do is walk down the street and some wiseacre will call me an Indian...

00:14:18 and just like that, the fight's on.

00:14:20 Davey, the letter, it's for you.

00:14:23 And you are an Indian.

00:14:25 Yes, I know I'm an Indian.

00:14:27 But I'm also the fastest runner in town.

00:14:29 I've got a college education and I'm the railroad telegrapher.

00:14:32 But does anybody say, "Hello, college man," or "Hello, runner," or "Hello, telegrapher"?

00:14:37 No. Not even "Hello, knothead."

00:14:40 Davey.

00:14:41 It's always, "Let the Indian do it."

00:14:43 Will you go out in the store and help the ladies?

00:14:45 All right. I'm also a bookkeeper, part-time clerk.

00:14:50 Always, "Let the Indian do it."

00:14:54 A lady brought that out here this morning, asked for it to be taken out to the home ranch for you.

00:14:59 Handsome lady, kind of tall, with red hair.

00:15:02 Called me "Mr. Birnbaum," just as if she'd never seen me before...

00:15:06 and as if that veil that covered her face would keep me from recognizing her.

00:15:10 I thought she was in New York or Europe or someplace.

00:15:14 So did I.

00:15:16 Jake, you better throw on a couple extra cases of the boss's favorite bourbon.

00:15:20 That stuff sure gets used up fast out at our place.

00:15:23 Which reminds me, you better start tapering off.

00:15:27 Heh.

00:15:28 Catherine's in town.

00:15:32 Katie?

00:15:33 Ladies.

00:15:42 Morning.

00:15:44 Morning, Mr. Clifford.

00:15:50 Morning, Mr. McLintock.

00:15:52 [♪♪♪]

00:15:54 Good morning.

00:16:01 Good morning, Mac.

00:16:03 Polaroid.

00:16:04 Morning, GW.

00:16:06 What are you doing in here? Why aren't you out at the desk?

00:16:09 Helping out the bartender.

00:16:10 Yeah, I see you're busy today.

00:16:12 Give me the key to room 17.

00:16:14 What?

00:16:15 17, and don't advertise it.

00:16:21 Here they come, Mr. McLintock.

00:16:23 Salamat.

00:16:28 Beer.

00:16:29 Whiskey.

00:16:30 Day off?

00:16:33 Off day.

00:16:36 Wonder what he's so preoccupied about.

00:16:41 Haven't you heard?

00:16:42 No, what?

00:16:43 Katie's back in town.

00:16:45 Katie?

00:16:46 Yes, dear.

00:16:47 The social arbiter.

00:16:49 [laughter]

00:16:50 Well, hi, sonny.

00:16:52 Good morning.

00:16:53 Oh.

00:16:54 [laughter]

00:16:55 He sure is a quiet one.

00:16:57 Mr. McLintock, I don't want to bother you.

00:16:59 I'm sorry, boy. I told you, no job.

00:17:02 [♪♪♪]

00:17:04 [♪♪♪]

00:17:07 [♪♪♪]

00:17:09 [♪♪♪]

00:17:37 Katherine?

00:17:38 George Washington McLintock.

00:17:41 I thought you'd want this.

00:17:51 First dig of the spur.

00:17:59 But who am I to upset your plans?

00:18:02 Don't you feel kind of silly?

00:18:05 I never feel silly.

00:18:07 It's because you have no sense of humor.

00:18:10 Why couldn't we sit down in the hotel dining room

00:18:13 and talk about whatever it is you want to talk about?

00:18:16 Or why couldn't you just come over to the house?

00:18:18 And have everybody know that we're meeting?

00:18:21 Everybody knows, and what's the difference?

00:18:23 We're married.

00:18:24 That is something I should like to change.

00:18:34 You know the answer, Katie.

00:18:37 That isn't why you sent for me.

00:18:40 Let's get to the rat killing.

00:18:42 That's just the kind of remark that's always endeared you to me.

00:18:48 Let us open the discussion.

00:18:50 Very well.

00:18:51 Our daughter is coming home in a few days.

00:18:54 Rather, she's coming here.

00:18:55 It was just a slip of the tongue that made me refer to this ugly hamlet as home.

00:19:00 Our daughter?

00:19:01 Is it so hard to say her name?

00:19:03 It's Becky.

00:19:04 Rebecca!

00:19:05 I hate that name.

00:19:07 Anyway, she's coming home.

00:19:09 And I hope to persuade you to let her live with me

00:19:13 part of the time in the capital, part of the time in New York,

00:19:16 and of course, Newport during the season.

00:19:20 You're whistling in the wind, Katie.

00:19:24 If she stays here,

00:19:26 she'll become just as crude and as vulgar as all of this country.

00:19:29 And if she goes your way, she'll be all show and no stay.

00:19:33 Oh, I...

00:19:35 No go, Katie.

00:19:42 I hate you.

00:19:44 Oh, how I hate you.

00:19:47 Half the people in the world are women.

00:19:50 Why does it have to be you that stirs it?

00:19:54 You animal!

00:19:58 That's the story.

00:20:00 I saw your picture in the paper at the governor's ball.

00:20:03 You were dancing with a governor.

00:20:05 At least he's a gentleman.

00:20:07 I doubt that.

00:20:09 You have to be a man first before you're a gentleman.

00:20:12 He misses on both counts.

00:20:15 [door opens]

00:20:17 [door closes]

00:20:19 Hey, Sonny.

00:20:36 You gonna ask him again?

00:20:37 Nope.

00:20:38 Hey, boy, you got a pocket of pride.

00:20:41 You gotta be.

00:20:43 You better listen to an expert, Sonny.

00:20:45 I'm telling you, you got to growl.

00:20:47 Human nature gets 'em every time.

00:20:49 Mister, leave me alone.

00:20:53 Everybody does it one way or another.

00:20:57 [chuckles]

00:20:59 How about that job, Mr. McLintock?

00:21:07 I already told you, Son, I've got no need for farmers or use for 'em.

00:21:11 Just one minute, Mr. McLintock.

00:21:13 My father died last month.

00:21:15 That's how come we lost our homestead.

00:21:17 I've got a mother and a little sister to feed.

00:21:20 I need that job badly.

00:21:22 What's your name?

00:21:23 Devlin Warren.

00:21:25 You got a job, Son.

00:21:26 See my home ranch for him when he's over at the gorelle.

00:21:29 [chuckles]

00:21:33 Step down off of that carriage, mister.

00:21:39 [hooves clopping]

00:21:41 [horse whinnies]

00:21:43 Hold that hog leg!

00:21:45 I've been punched many a time in my life,

00:21:49 but never for hiring anybody.

00:21:51 I don't know what to say.

00:21:54 I've never begged before.

00:21:57 Turn my stomach.

00:21:59 I suppose I should have been grateful you gave me the job.

00:22:03 Gave?

00:22:05 Boy, you got it all wrong.

00:22:07 I don't give jobs. I hire men.

00:22:10 You intend to give this man a full day's work, don't you, boy?

00:22:13 You mean you're still hiring me, Mr. McLintock?

00:22:15 Well, yes, sir. I mean, I'll certainly deliver a fair day's work.

00:22:19 For that, I'll pay you a fair day's wage.

00:22:22 You won't give me anything, and I won't give you anything.

00:22:26 We both hold up our heads.

00:22:28 Where do you live?

00:22:29 The settlers encampment down by the mine.

00:22:31 That's your plug?

00:22:34 Yes, sir.

00:22:35 Well, hop on him, and we'll go get your gear.

00:22:38 [music]

00:22:45 Hyah! Hyah!

00:22:48 [music]

00:23:09 Morning, Mr. McLintock.

00:23:11 Morning, Mr. Burboise.

00:23:13 [music]

00:23:30 I'm sure that all you fine people are interested in knowing just what portion of this new land will be your new home.

00:23:39 Oh, uh, uh, Jones and McAllister, since you've been more or less the leaders of our group,

00:23:45 I'd like to have you come up and, uh, check the exact location.

00:23:49 Won't be a minute, sir.

00:23:52 Go after that boy and give him $30.

00:24:01 Tell him McLintock pays these riders a month in advance.

00:24:05 From the looks of things, they could sure use it, too.

00:24:08 [door opens]

00:24:10 Oh, Mom? It's Mr. Drago.

00:24:13 [door closes]

00:24:14 Well, then, what do we owe this visit from the cattle baron?

00:24:20 I've got a touch of hangover, bureaucrat. Don't push me.

00:24:24 Whoa-ho! Back there!

00:24:33 Say, those are Indians. Are there Indians in this homestead land?

00:24:37 Friendly Indians, my boy.

00:24:39 Whoa-ho, Macklin!

00:24:41 Oh, running buffalo!

00:24:44 Oh, Macklin! Long time we don't get drunk together.

00:24:49 And it's gonna be a lot longer time, 'cause it's against the law and you're with the sheriff.

00:24:54 And if I got my hands full, they came into town to meet the train. The old Indian chiefs are coming home.

00:24:59 I heard they'd been pardoned.

00:25:01 They don't know when it's arriving, this week, next week, or next month.

00:25:04 So in the meantime, I've got to do something with them.

00:25:06 Could I cut out a couple of head of your steers to feed them?

00:25:09 Otherwise, some of these settlers' milk cows are gonna disappear.

00:25:12 That's right, Macklin.

00:25:14 [laughs] Cut out whatever you need.

00:25:16 Sheriff! Are you gonna camp these savages with all these settlers?

00:25:20 You're asking for trouble.

00:25:22 Mr. Douglas, I already have plenty of trouble. Please stay off my back.

00:25:27 Running buffalo, bring your people over to the clay slide.

00:25:31 Move!

00:25:33 Hello, Mr. Macklin.

00:25:37 Tiny mouth! It's nice to see you.

00:25:40 You wouldn't believe it now, but 20 years ago, she was a mighty handsome maid.

00:25:46 20 years ago, you thought so, too, Mr. Douglas.

00:25:50 [clears throat]

00:25:56 It was just like this. I had a dead beat on old running buffalo,

00:26:00 and my sharp .50 caliber misfired.

00:26:03 That's back in that trouble in the '40s. Remember?

00:26:05 I remember.

00:26:07 Hey, you won't taste something come directly from heaven.

00:26:10 No.

00:26:12 Where'd you get this?

00:26:19 That boy's mama baked 'em.

00:26:22 You thinking the same thing I am?

00:26:24 She's a widow on the boss, and she's got a long, hard road home.

00:26:28 Hire her.

00:26:30 Always said you had a heap of sense.

00:26:37 Mr. MacLintock, this is my mother.

00:26:40 Your mother?

00:26:43 And my sister.

00:26:45 Pleased to meet you, Mr. MacLintock.

00:26:47 Ma'am, this here's my boss, and he has few choice words to say about your biscuits.

00:26:54 Yes, Mr. MacLintock?

00:26:57 Well...

00:26:59 They're great.

00:27:02 Well, you old Cantonese reprobate, how about it?

00:27:17 Fire me? I'd kill myself.

00:27:20 I'm not talking about firing you. I'm retiring you.

00:27:24 You've been rustling food for us for 30 years.

00:27:27 We're gonna put you out to pasture.

00:27:29 All you'll have to do is give advice. Be one of the family.

00:27:32 I'd kill myself.

00:27:34 I may save you the trouble.

00:27:36 Look, Ching, you kill yourself, I'll cut off your pigtail, and you ain't never gonna get to heaven.

00:27:42 I'll be one of the family?

00:27:45 I give you my solemn word.

00:27:47 Pretty clumsy family. Drink too much, get in fights, yell all the time.

00:27:53 Cut off his pigtail.

00:27:56 All right, all right, I'll be one of the family.

00:27:58 [Speaking Cantonese]

00:28:00 I hope everything is satisfactory.

00:28:14 This is such a big house, it'll take me a while to get used to things.

00:28:18 Now, please don't hesitate to tell me if anything is wrong.

00:28:21 [Speaking Cantonese]

00:28:23 I don't mind, just fine. Everything lined nicely, finely.

00:28:29 Who's in the tavern, ma'am?

00:28:31 Best apple pie I ever had.

00:28:33 Curly's right, ma'am. Hated to leave that last bite.

00:28:35 Shall we celebrate with a drink?

00:28:37 Carla, come in and help me with the dishes.

00:28:39 Alice, you want to help too?

00:28:41 Yes, Jacob.

00:28:42 All right, fix him.

00:28:44 Now, I'll wash and you get dry. Is that good?

00:28:47 Don't seem possible one woman could use all them clothes.

00:29:04 You keep a civil tongue in your unprepossessing face.

00:29:07 Yes, ma'am.

00:29:08 And unload my baggage, please.

00:29:09 Yes, ma'am.

00:29:10 By the way, what does that word "unprepossessing" mean?

00:29:14 Miss McLintock.

00:29:21 Oh, hello, Carlos.

00:29:23 Run and help the driver with my luggage.

00:29:25 I couldn't trust anyone else in this house to do anything correctly.

00:29:30 Luggage? Give him a hand, Curly.

00:29:35 Yes, boss.

00:29:36 Mr. McLintock?

00:29:37 Are you moving back in?

00:29:39 Yes, but nothing has changed except my place of residence.

00:29:43 And I'd be willing to put up with savages rather than be denied the company of my daughter.

00:29:48 And I'm proving that by moving in here.

00:29:51 Mr. McLintock, since it's my first day, would you excuse me if I...

00:29:55 Go ahead.

00:29:57 Oh, Catherine, this is Dev Warren.

00:30:00 He joined the outfit today.

00:30:02 Please, ma'am.

00:30:03 Thank you.

00:30:06 Well, how refreshing.

00:30:08 A polite young man here.

00:30:10 Where did he come from?

00:30:12 He's a farmer.

00:30:13 A farmer?

00:30:14 Well, I'll be doggone.

00:30:15 Kate, welcome home.

00:30:17 What on earth are you doing in that idiotic-looking outfit?

00:30:21 And don't you dare call me Kate.

00:30:23 That's my butlin suit. I'm butlin for the boss.

00:30:25 And I'm sorry, Catherine, that Kate kind of slipped out from the times I remembered you as being nice people.

00:30:31 Oh.

00:30:35 Oh.

00:30:36 Are you going to stand there with that stupid look on your face while the hired help insults your wife?

00:30:43 He's just ignorant.

00:30:45 He doesn't know any better than to tell the truth.

00:30:47 And I can't help this stupid look.

00:30:49 I started acquiring it as you gained in social prominence.

00:30:53 Mrs. McLintock, where do you want I should...

00:30:57 Put him in the master bedroom.

00:31:04 Yes.

00:31:05 But move Mr. McLintock's things into another room.

00:31:09 Back of the stairs would be best so that he can't wake up the entire household when he comes home every night.

00:31:14 Here's this.

00:31:15 Just before daybreak.

00:31:17 Yes, ma'am.

00:31:19 Oh, excuse me.

00:31:24 Here's your cigars, Mr. McLintock.

00:31:26 I am Mrs. McLintock.

00:31:28 Kate, I mean Catherine, this is the cook...

00:31:31 This is the lady who does the cooking for us.

00:31:33 Mrs. Warren, Mrs. McLintock.

00:31:35 How do you do?

00:31:37 Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. McLintock.

00:31:39 Very pleased.

00:31:40 Likewise.

00:31:41 You see, I just came to work here today and I guess I jumped to the conclusion that this was a bachelor's household.

00:31:49 It is and then again it isn't.

00:31:52 I will explain so everything will be quite clear, Mrs. Wallace.

00:31:57 Mrs. Warren.

00:31:58 Warren.

00:32:01 Mrs. Warren, it has been a bachelor's household for quite some time.

00:32:07 And it will be again just as soon as I am out of here, which would be as quickly as I can make arrangements to take my daughter back east with me.

00:32:16 You see, she's coming home from school in a few days and then we'll be off together and you can return to conducting yourself as you consider proper in a bachelor's household.

00:32:25 Katie.

00:32:26 Shut up.

00:32:28 Until then, I am mistress in this house and I will give the orders.

00:32:34 I want my breakfast served in bed.

00:32:35 Go on, better.

00:32:36 Ain't you going to say nothing, boss?

00:32:38 No.

00:32:39 Poached egg, tea, toast.

00:32:40 Oh, GW, as soon as my things are put away, I want to talk to you about Rebecca.

00:32:46 Yes, Mrs. McLintock.

00:32:48 Indeed, Mrs. McLintock.

00:32:50 Of course, Mrs. McLintock.

00:32:52 The toast, lightly browned and unbuttered.

00:32:56 Of course, ma'am.

00:33:00 Wait a minute now, boss.

00:33:01 Where do you think you're going?

00:33:02 I just remembered I got a date.

00:33:04 But she said she wanted to have a talk with you.

00:33:06 I heard.

00:33:13 Good evening, Lem.

00:33:15 Evening, Mr. Mac.

00:33:16 Yep.

00:33:19 Say, Mr. Mac, what does unprepossessing mean?

00:33:25 I was called that once, Lem.

00:33:27 Looked it up in the dictionary.

00:33:29 It's best you don't know what it means.

00:33:31 Uh-huh.

00:33:32 Thank you.

00:33:33 You're up.

00:33:41 Hey, what am I going to tell her when she asks why you win?

00:33:45 When in doubt, tell her the truth.

00:33:47 She wouldn't expect that from you anyway.

00:33:51 Where's Mr. McLintock gone?

00:33:53 There he goes, burning his last bridge.

00:33:56 You see a yellow streak about a foot wide running up down his backbone.

00:34:00 Well, Mr. McLintock, he ain't afraid of nothing.

00:34:04 I once thought that.

00:34:25 Drago?

00:34:27 Yes, ma'am.

00:34:28 Was that, uh--

00:34:29 He took off, lit out.

00:34:31 I told him I wanted to talk to him.

00:34:33 Yes, ma'am.

00:34:34 I was standing right over here when you said it.

00:34:36 And I was standing right out down those front steps when he walked up to a horse, grabbed a hunk of meat, and stepped up on him and sunk spur.

00:34:42 Where did he go?

00:34:43 Last time I saw him, he was going east.

00:34:45 But you know him.

00:34:46 He's liable to go north, south, or west.

00:34:49 Get me a carriage.

00:34:50 Yes, ma'am, but--

00:34:52 But what?

00:34:55 Maybe you shouldn't follow him into maybe where he's going into.

00:34:59 What does that mean?

00:35:01 I don't know, but I wish I hadn't have said it.

00:35:03 Uh, just get the carriage.

00:35:05 Yes, ma'am.

00:35:08 What happened?

00:35:10 Get the brooch.

00:35:11 Brooch?

00:35:12 Hitch it up.

00:35:13 She wants to go to town.

00:35:14 But Mr. McLintock never said anything to me about it.

00:35:16 Look, young fella, I'm the ram--

00:35:19 I'm the ramrod around this place.

00:35:21 And you better start giving me a yes or you're going to get the roof of this house pulled down on your head.

00:35:25 Yes, sir.

00:35:32 Hello, Davey.

00:35:33 Hi, Mr. McLintock.

00:35:35 No brew, eh?

00:35:36 Drink, please.

00:35:40 Hello, Bunny.

00:35:41 How is everything?

00:35:42 Oh, fine, fine, Mr. McLintock.

00:35:45 I'll get you next time.

00:35:58 Two more, Elmer.

00:36:01 Well, look who's here.

00:36:06 What'll it be, Max?

00:36:08 Same as usual?

00:36:10 Ladies.

00:36:12 Evening, G.W.

00:36:13 Jake?

00:36:15 Wrong move, Fath.

00:36:17 Chess problem.

00:36:18 Queen's in danger.

00:36:39 I suppose you can do that.

00:36:42 Camille, you're on your own.

00:36:47 Miss McLintock?

00:36:53 I'm Camille.

00:36:55 Camille Reedbottom.

00:36:57 I'm, uh, learning the game of chess.

00:37:01 Thought it would give me something to pass the time.

00:37:05 See, I have nothing to do all day long.

00:37:10 I just remembered something.

00:37:20 Catherine!

00:37:21 I didn't hear you come in.

00:37:23 Mr. McLintock, I told you that I wanted to talk to you.

00:37:27 Not now.

00:37:29 Could I get your glass of sherry, Catherine?

00:37:31 Oh, thank you, Mr. Birnbaum.

00:37:33 I could use one.

00:37:34 I came into town behind a runaway team.

00:37:38 Draco never could handle horses.

00:37:40 It was that young man whose mother pretends to be your cook.

00:37:43 Catherine, your wine.

00:37:45 Oh, thank you, Mr. Birnbaum.

00:37:56 Now, Mr. McLintock, we have an awful lot to talk over.

00:38:00 First thing I learned about Indian fighting was to wait for daylight.

00:38:05 What has our conversation got to do with Indian fighting?

00:38:08 Indian fighting is good experience for our kind of conversations.

00:38:12 It'll wait, Catherine.

00:38:14 Evening, Sarah.

00:38:16 Mr. McLintock, we had quite a ride out here.

00:38:19 Oh, I finally got that team settled down.

00:38:21 It's your move.

00:38:23 No, it's your move.

00:38:24 I just castled.

00:38:25 Now, look here.

00:38:26 You're not going to sit here all night long and play chess when the matter of our daughter remains unsettled.

00:38:31 I am going to remain here and play chess when the matter of our daughter is settled.

00:38:35 She stays.

00:38:36 Oh, such stubbornness.

00:38:37 Catherine, your hair.

00:38:42 Oh, it is a mess after that awful ride.

00:38:45 No, no.

00:38:46 It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time.

00:38:49 And it seems to me the last time I saw you, your hair was a little darker, no?

00:39:00 It's a funny thing the tricks of man's memory will play, huh?

00:39:04 Mr. Birnbaum, I think that you've completely lost your mind.

00:39:09 You have done something to your hair.

00:39:11 I have not.

00:39:15 I had to be none of your business.

00:39:17 I'm certainly not going to put myself in the place of those blondie trollops that you seem to prefer.

00:39:24 Take it.

00:39:27 Fill it.

00:39:28 Oh.

00:39:43 Morning.

00:39:46 Are you still at it all night?

00:39:48 A McClintock never quits.

00:39:51 But a Birnbaum has to.

00:39:53 Besides, the game is over.

00:39:54 You got me.

00:39:55 Oh, no, Mr. Birnbaum.

00:39:56 You still got a good game.

00:39:58 Oh, you play chess.

00:40:00 Please, take them.

00:40:06 Pretty good.

00:40:08 Fair.

00:40:09 Well, looks like I won't have to come into town always to get a game.

00:40:15 Remember, I'm a bad loser.

00:40:20 It's your move.

00:40:21 Yes, sir.

00:40:43 Good morning.

00:40:46 Good morning.

00:40:49 Oh, it's a good morning, all right.

00:40:52 Cup of coffee?

00:40:54 Oh, yes, thanks, Jake.

00:40:59 You're welcome, Catherine.

00:41:03 Got any cream?

00:41:04 Canned cow's milk.

00:41:06 I'll do.

00:41:09 Good old condensed milk.

00:41:13 That reminds me.

00:41:15 I was cleaning out my desk the other day.

00:41:18 I found something I wanted to return to you.

00:41:25 Here it is.

00:41:34 It's a medal.

00:41:35 Remember?

00:41:37 From the President of the United States of America to First Sergeant Michael Patrick Yalhouli.

00:41:44 For bravery above and beyond the call of duty.

00:41:51 It's your papa.

00:41:54 Reminds me of the first time I ever saw you.

00:41:57 It was over 17 years ago.

00:42:00 You walked into my store, not much bigger than the bundle you were carrying.

00:42:07 And in the bundle was the most beautiful baby I ever saw.

00:42:11 And was she hungry.

00:42:14 You walked all the way from Superstition Creek just to trade me that medal for a case of canned milk.

00:42:24 GW was off somewhere as usual, fighting Indians.

00:42:31 Sheriff! Sheriff Lord!

00:42:34 Have you seen the sheriff?

00:42:36 It's kind of early for him. You try his house?

00:42:39 I'm quiet at night. Make a path.

00:42:41 Looks like burn bonds is open.

00:42:43 Maybe somebody in here knows.

00:42:47 So there you are, Sheriff.

00:42:50 I told you you were headed for trouble.

00:42:53 I want to know by whose authority you let those Indians stay in town.

00:42:57 Those savages are wards of the government and I am the representative of that government.

00:43:01 I told Sheriff Lord that he could put them up down by the clay side.

00:43:05 Because the town's named after him, he thinks he owns it.

00:43:08 Well, you check the books in the recorder's office and you'll find I do own a fair piece of it.

00:43:14 Agard, if you knew anything about Indians, you'd know that they're doing their level best to put up with our so-called benevolent patronage.

00:43:23 In spite of the nincompoops that have been put in charge of it.

00:43:26 Those Indians need my permission to leave the reservation.

00:43:30 Those chiefs have been giving orders all their lives.

00:43:33 It's pretty hard for them to understand that they have to hold up their hand like a schoolboy in a classroom.

00:43:39 The law is very clear.

00:43:41 I told you you'd get no satisfaction from these people.

00:43:44 We'll get the girl back.

00:43:46 Girl?

00:43:47 The girl the Indians kidnapped.

00:43:49 But don't worry. I armed the settlers and set them to rounding up those red devils.

00:43:54 What is this about a girl?

00:43:56 Millie Jones, one of the settlers' daughters.

00:43:58 The Indians kidnapped her.

00:44:00 That's ridiculous. And you turned to lose a lot of farmers with shotguns?

00:44:03 I certainly did.

00:44:05 You're insane. Let's go, Sheriff.

00:44:09 Mr. Douglas.

00:44:11 Oh, Miss McLintock.

00:44:12 Much as I hate to agree with G.W. about anything, you haven't changed a bit.

00:44:17 You're still an hysterical fool.

00:44:20 I'm in the town. I got worried.

00:44:26 What about?

00:44:27 Thought maybe Katie shot you.

00:44:29 Not yet, Drago, but it took restraint.

00:44:32 Wait a minute. We'd better take A.G. on the phone.

00:44:35 Not that he'll be of much help.

00:44:36 Drago?

00:44:37 Yes, sir?

00:44:39 Just a minute.

00:44:45 On drive.

00:44:51 A.G. what are you doing?

00:44:55 A.G. this is serious.

00:44:57 Stay with him, A.G. Stay with him.

00:45:00 A.G. will you stop showing off and getting this money?

00:45:05 Mercy.

00:45:07 Mercy.

00:45:10 That horse is a little green.

00:45:12 Let's go.

00:45:20 Just where do you think you're going?

00:45:30 Don't use that range, boss. Tone of voice with me.

00:45:35 [HORSE NEIGHING]

00:45:37 Rider.

00:45:45 That is for Mr. Poor Boy's mind.

00:45:48 Mount up some riders.

00:45:50 Ride, boss.

00:45:52 You heard the man.

00:45:54 I don't like it, Mr. McLintock. I don't like it one bit.

00:46:02 What don't you like?

00:46:03 They're planning to hang an Indian.

00:46:05 Sir, very funny. Where's the whiskey?

00:46:32 Hold it.

00:46:33 Not so fast, Mr. Boss of the whole country.

00:46:37 Unless you want to wear a big hole in your middle.

00:46:40 How long is G.W. going to let that Cheechawker push him around?

00:46:45 That Cheechawker has a sawed-off shotgun.

00:46:48 How do you know she didn't wander off someplace or meet some fellers?

00:46:52 What are you saying? That I didn't raise my girl right?

00:46:55 That she'd wander off all night with some man?

00:46:57 There's a lot of things I'm not saying to you, mister.

00:47:00 Well, you got a sawed-off shotgun in my middle.

00:47:02 But how do you know this Indian had anything to do with it?

00:47:05 She's gone, ain't she? She's gone.

00:47:07 Pa!

00:47:09 Pa, I'm over here.

00:47:11 Pa!

00:47:13 Been looking for me, Pa?

00:47:18 Where you been, gal?

00:47:19 Young Ben took me for a sunrise ride.

00:47:22 And the horse wandered away.

00:47:26 You come down over there.

00:47:27 But Pa!

00:47:28 She's telling the truth, Mr. McLintock. We wasn't doing nothing.

00:47:31 Well, that's not important right now.

00:47:33 The important thing is that you don't draw that hog leg or this will be worse than Dodge City on Saturday night.

00:47:37 You get on, back to the wagon.

00:47:39 I'll attend to you later.

00:47:42 Now for this young whippersnapper.

00:47:44 Now, no harm has been done.

00:47:46 And young Ben here is one of the nicest boys in the territory.

00:47:49 So just put down that shotgun and let's forget it.

00:47:51 I'll teach him to fool with my...

00:47:54 Now, we'll all calm down.

00:47:57 Boss, he's just a little excited.

00:47:59 I know, I know. I'm gonna use good judgment.

00:48:01 I haven't lost my temper in 40 years.

00:48:04 But Pilgrim, you caused a lot of trouble this morning.

00:48:07 Might have got somebody killed.

00:48:08 And somebody ought to belt you in the mouth.

00:48:11 But I won't.

00:48:12 I won't.

00:48:13 The hell I won't.

00:48:15 McLintock rider!

00:48:22 I won't.

00:48:24 Oh, McLintock!

00:48:36 Hey, buster, remember me?

00:48:40 Hello, sir. Nice party.

00:48:51 (people screaming)

00:48:54 Do you think you are?

00:49:00 I ought to what?

00:49:02 Why, you...

00:49:11 (screams)

00:49:16 (screams)

00:49:18 Hey, you, I'm gonna work with you.

00:49:37 Hey, just a minute.

00:49:38 What are you doing with my class?

00:49:40 Hey, now, stop this or you'll be sorry.

00:49:44 (grunts)

00:49:46 Hey!

00:49:49 Stay out of this, Jake.

00:49:55 It's everybody's war!

00:50:12 (shouting)

00:50:14 (shouting)

00:50:32 (shouting)

00:50:34 (laughing)

00:50:43 Oh, McLintock!

00:50:49 Thanks.

00:50:51 (laughing)

00:50:55 It's very funny.

00:50:56 Yeah, it's very funny.

00:51:00 (shouting)

00:51:02 Gosh, Mr. Douglas, I'm sorry.

00:51:15 (laughing)

00:51:17 My age, Regal.

00:51:21 (screams)

00:51:28 Hey!

00:51:29 Are you still down here?

00:51:41 Hey!

00:51:43 Oh, I squandered away, huh?

00:51:45 Honest, Mr. Jones, honest.

00:51:47 Oh!

00:51:52 (shouting)

00:51:55 (grunting)

00:51:57 Nice left.

00:51:58 Thanks.

00:51:59 I went to college.

00:52:02 For this, you don't need college.

00:52:04 You're not getting me out of there.

00:52:07 (shouting)

00:52:13 (shouting)

00:52:20 (shouting)

00:52:22 You did this on purpose!

00:52:27 Why, Lieutenant W. Mc...

00:52:31 Good morning to you, Mrs. McLintock.

00:52:33 Funny you big...

00:52:35 Yowie!

00:52:37 (screams)

00:52:38 G.W. McClintock, you big, big, big, grumpy...

00:52:47 Well, it's pretty hard to control yourself.

00:52:50 Big old...

00:52:52 Oh, McLintock.

00:53:01 Oh, McLintock.

00:53:03 Oh, party.

00:53:04 But no whiskey.

00:53:06 We go home.

00:53:15 You and your friends!

00:53:18 Well, we at least saved your hat, huh?

00:53:21 Where is everybody?

00:53:28 Oh, for heaven's sakes.

00:53:31 Whoa, whoa.

00:53:41 Prigo, will you never learn how to handle a team?

00:53:44 Yes, ma'am, I'll sure try. I'll tell you that now.

00:53:47 Crummy, flammie!

00:53:50 You want to lose your pigtail?

00:53:52 I lose face!

00:53:54 Lousy load of tips.

00:53:55 You're going to lose more than that.

00:53:57 Kate?

00:53:58 Yes?

00:53:59 We could be a big help to one another.

00:54:03 Like what, may I ask?

00:54:05 Oh, we could wash the mud off of each other.

00:54:08 We used to have quite good times doing that sort of thing.

00:54:12 There are a lot of things we used to do.

00:54:15 Good night, Mr. McLintock.

00:54:18 Lady Luck?

00:54:27 What are you talking about?

00:54:29 I mean, divorce.

00:54:31 She still want it?

00:54:32 Yeah.

00:54:33 You know something, women are funny.

00:54:35 She fought like a wild cat on your side out there this afternoon.

00:54:38 Come home, she slams the door on your face.

00:54:40 That divorce business, is that what you get when you pay a woman not to live with you?

00:54:45 That's about it.

00:54:47 Some women I've noted be worth it.

00:54:50 You know, if we had any moral character, we wouldn't be standing here covered with mud drinking when we should be washing.

00:54:57 GW?

00:54:59 Drago.

00:55:01 Miss Warren needs biscuits.

00:55:08 Thank you, Drago.

00:55:10 Good morning, Mrs. Warren.

00:55:16 Good morning, Mr. McLintock.

00:55:18 Breakfast for the boss?

00:55:20 If that's the way you want it, Mr. McLintock.

00:56:07 Lightly browned and un...

00:56:08 [gasp]

00:56:09 Why, Mrs. McLintock, you have a black eye.

00:56:13 I do?

00:56:14 Ooh.

00:56:15 Oh.

00:56:19 Oh, and Becky's coming home today.

00:56:23 That's not all.

00:56:24 There's a little something we'd better get settled.

00:56:27 There are no men listening now, so we can be ourselves.

00:56:31 Oh, sure, I let you get away with all that guff the other night.

00:56:34 But now that we're alone...

00:56:36 When I want the opinion of the hired help, I'll ask for it.

00:56:40 You know, you could wind up with two black eyes.

00:56:43 What?

00:56:44 Oh, I realize you had to put on that big act.

00:56:48 We always have to just before we get ready to forgive them.

00:56:51 Generally for something they haven't done.

00:56:55 But you and I both know that's just to keep them from getting the idea they, uh, run things.

00:57:01 McLintock give you that black eye?

00:57:03 No.

00:57:04 Nobody gave it to me.

00:57:06 I want it.

00:57:07 Morning, Davies.

00:57:16 Morning, Mrs. Beach.

00:57:17 Mr. Beach.

00:58:17 Hi, Daddy.

00:58:18 My boy.

00:58:19 Good to see you again.

00:58:21 Daddy.

00:58:22 Oh, Daddy.

00:58:23 Oh.

00:58:24 [LAUGHTER]

00:58:27 It's been two long years.

00:58:29 I guess I'm going to have to stop calling you Tom, boy.

00:58:32 Becky.

00:58:33 Mama.

00:58:34 Oh, darling.

00:58:35 I wasn't sure you'd be here.

00:58:37 Oh, I've been here a few days.

00:58:38 Oh, Becky, I've bought you three of the most beautiful dresses.

00:58:41 Oh, Uncle Draco.

00:58:43 Oh.

00:58:45 Did you bring your old uncle a coming home present?

00:58:48 Sure did.

00:58:49 What is it?

00:58:50 A mustache cup.

00:58:51 Oh.

00:58:52 And what did you get me?

00:58:53 Prettiest palomino pony that ever played the sound.

00:58:55 Broke the stand, drowned Ty in the counter.

00:58:58 Oh.

00:59:00 Uncle Jake.

00:59:02 Oh.

00:59:04 What are you doing in Mr. Douglas' tuba?

00:59:06 Oh, Mr. Douglas has a fat--

00:59:08 had a little accident.

00:59:12 I brought you a whole shipment of liquor and sticks.

00:59:15 But now that I've seen how much you've grown,

00:59:17 I think we better exchange them for a couple of bolts of dress goods, huh?

00:59:20 Thank you.

00:59:22 Oh, the mayor was going to be here,

00:59:24 but he had to go to the territorial capital on a horse theft matter.

00:59:27 But I'm going to give his speech.

00:59:28 [CHEERING]

00:59:32 Oh, and don't worry about the mayor.

00:59:34 I'm sure that he can find a bill of sale for the horse.

00:59:37 [LAUGHTER]

00:59:41 Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to welcome the fairest--

00:59:46 What am I doing?

00:59:49 We are here to welcome back the prettiest girl that was ever born in McClintic,

00:59:57 or in any part of the territory.

00:59:59 Hey, Davey.

01:00:07 Yeah?

01:00:08 I've got something for you.

01:00:10 Your friends are up to drunk.

01:00:13 You told me to let them ride, so I locked them in here.

01:00:16 I've had my scalp a long time,

01:00:19 and I aim to keep it.

01:00:21 [CHATTER]

01:00:35 [CHATTER]

01:00:38 And now she's come back to us, gone are the pigtails,

01:00:49 but the freckles are still on the prettiest face that was ever born in McClintic.

01:00:54 [CHANTING]

01:00:58 [CHANTING]

01:01:01 Hey, that's Puma.

01:01:05 And it's true. The government did turn them loose.

01:01:10 Good old Puma.

01:01:12 I'll never forget when he brought G.W. home.

01:01:16 Your father had a hole in his chest and a 104 fever.

01:01:21 Of course, they weren't very manly about it.

01:01:23 He came past the house at a high lope and threw him on the doorstep.

01:01:29 And you do remember them good old days, don't you, Katie?

01:01:32 Katherine.

01:01:37 [CHANTING]

01:01:44 [CHANTING]

01:01:47 Yatahe, my friends.

01:01:57 Yatahe.

01:01:58 Puma, honored enemy.

01:02:00 Does Big McClintock forget also blood brother?

01:02:05 No, I'll never forget that.

01:02:07 All warned. Does it hurt still?

01:02:10 I feel it when it comes on to rain.

01:02:13 An inch higher and I wouldn't have had to worry.

01:02:15 Ah, Big McClintock, that was rememberth fine.

01:02:18 We return with news, our people have more trouble.

01:02:23 You see, I learn good English now, Big McClintock.

01:02:28 Learned in white man's jail.

01:02:30 But we would have you talk our course at government hearing.

01:02:36 I understand that Governor Humphreys is going to preside at that meeting.

01:02:40 Yes, Puma, I'll translate your wishes.

01:02:45 Mr. McLintock, could I impose upon you to use your Comanche to tell these chiefs...

01:02:50 Puma is chief of the Comanches and he speaks English very well.

01:02:54 Oh, well, your people will have to follow my instructions to the letter.

01:02:59 It is the law of the...

01:03:01 Oh, now, just a minute.

01:03:06 Oh, for heaven's sakes.

01:03:09 You wait here, honey, I'll get the book.

01:03:28 - You go to the McCulloch party? - Sure, honey.

01:03:32 - Surely. - Will I see you there, Beth?

01:03:35 Of course, Davey, and you can have the first date.

01:03:37 Sis.

01:03:38 Don't want any sister of mine talking to strangers.

01:03:43 Davey's not a stranger, he clerks in Birnbaum.

01:03:46 He's an Indian.

01:03:51 Darn you, Drago.

01:04:01 Now look what you've done.

01:04:03 Baby, this is Devlin Warren, he works for your papa.

01:04:06 Dev, this is Miss Becky McLintock.

01:04:09 Those are my things.

01:04:11 Yes, ma'am.

01:04:12 Oh, I don't own you anywhere, Miss Becky.

01:04:15 What do you mean?

01:04:17 Oh, I mean, you look so much like your mother.

01:04:20 - Or even prettier. - Oh, Mr. Warren.

01:04:23 Mother's much prettier than I am.

01:04:25 Many a fight started with words like that.

01:04:27 Come on, get in the book.

01:04:29 Hello, Ching.

01:04:30 We got jelly pie for dinner?

01:04:32 I'm not cooking.

01:04:34 No, he's not.

01:04:35 Junior!

01:04:36 Yes, Miss Becky.

01:04:37 You remember Junior Douglas, Mama?

01:04:39 Oh, of course.

01:04:40 How's college?

01:04:41 Valedictorian, '95.

01:04:43 Oh, congratulations.

01:04:44 Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Douglas, we will see you at the party, of course.

01:04:47 Oh, delighted.

01:04:49 Well, it'll be pretty hard to keep young man away.

01:04:51 Yes, sir.

01:04:52 - Drago. - Yes, boss.

01:04:54 Bag it's all on it.

01:04:55 G.W.

01:04:56 You remember young Junior?

01:04:59 Oh, yes.

01:05:00 Like father, like son.

01:05:02 Oh, Mr. McClintock, I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous

01:05:05 in asking you for the honor of calling on Miss Rebecca.

01:05:08 Well, there she is. Ask her yourself.

01:05:12 Thank you, sir.

01:05:13 Ching, now I'm gonna get fired.

01:05:15 Get up out of here!

01:05:16 Thank you, sir. Thank you.

01:05:18 Have you no memory of the party, Junior?

01:05:25 Yeah.

01:05:26 Yeah.

01:05:27 Yeah, what?

01:05:28 Like father, like son.

01:05:30 What did he mean, Matthew?

01:05:34 Come on, Ching. Grab a root and growl.

01:05:40 Well, you're doing a good job, Miss McClintock.

01:05:50 Thank you, Miss Flora.

01:05:52 Deb, when you're finished there, go over and help Drago with the beer kegs.

01:05:56 Yes, Mom.

01:05:57 Deb, could you come and help me a minute?

01:06:03 I certainly was surprised to hear you went to college.

01:06:12 Why?

01:06:13 I don't know.

01:06:15 Junior says Purdue's a good college for a backwater place like Indiana.

01:06:19 Well, he did indeed.

01:06:20 Oh, could you do this? I can't reach it.

01:06:24 Why didn't you finish college?

01:06:26 Lack of funds.

01:06:27 My father got sick and he had to come out west.

01:06:30 So he took out a homestead.

01:06:32 You know, your mom's sure cute.

01:06:35 It's, uh, too bad you didn't inherit her eyes.

01:06:38 Well, you'd been lucky if you'd inherited a few things from your father.

01:06:46 Oh, really?

01:06:49 For instance?

01:06:51 It was common sense, for instance.

01:06:53 Common sense?

01:06:54 Yeah. You don't see him being fooled by some dude like Junior Douglas.

01:06:58 Junior's not a dude.

01:07:00 He's nifty.

01:07:02 This needs a woman's touch.

01:07:04 And besides, he got a letter at college.

01:07:08 What sport?

01:07:09 Glee club.

01:07:10 Very strenuous.

01:07:12 Don't you dare hug me!

01:07:18 I have no intention of hugging you.

01:07:21 I'm not hugging you.

01:07:23 Oh!

01:07:24 Oh!

01:07:26 [music]

01:07:29 [thud]

01:07:30 [crash]

01:07:35 [music]

01:07:39 [laughter]

01:07:41 [music]

01:08:10 The ladies all look lovely, Catherine.

01:08:13 You know, this is a real fine party.

01:08:15 Oh, thank you, Ben.

01:08:17 Of course, we had to invite everybody.

01:08:19 Just everybody.

01:08:21 Sorry, GW, but this one's mine.

01:08:26 Well, thank you, Mrs. Warren.

01:08:28 I guess I'll have to be a good host in my own home.

01:08:30 Well, the next one's yours, Mr. McLintock.

01:08:32 Thank you.

01:08:39 [laughter]

01:08:41 Drago, go and do what I told you to do.

01:09:04 Oh, Katie!

01:09:05 Catherine, and do as you're told.

01:09:07 Oh, Drago do this, Drago do that.

01:09:11 Hi-ya!

01:09:15 People, people, people!

01:09:17 This Douglas fellow...

01:09:19 Drago!

01:09:20 Yes, ma'am.

01:09:21 Matt Douglas, Jr.

01:09:24 is going to bring you folks some of the latest Terpsichore and dance steps,

01:09:28 brand new, brought by him directly from New York City.

01:09:32 [applause]

01:09:35 All right, Mr. Fidler.

01:09:38 [music]

01:09:41 [music]

01:09:43 [cheering]

01:10:09 [music]

01:10:11 Give me a whisky.

01:10:21 But, Williams, I'm bored.

01:10:22 What?

01:10:23 Just turn a ten-gallon party, boss.

01:10:25 We'll run out of whisky.

01:10:27 Well, I can take care of that, Chief.

01:10:29 [speaking foreign language]

01:10:31 [music]

01:10:34 [music]

01:10:36 Indian!

01:10:47 Indian!

01:10:48 Have you still got any ideas about asking my sister to dance?

01:10:56 Get up and we can do this all over again.

01:10:59 Yes!

01:11:00 That's enough, you're for it, it's over!

01:11:02 Quit buttin' in, Bernbaum, he's a hard man, not your son!

01:11:05 Look, you fought him fair and square!

01:11:07 I don't think it was so fair and square.

01:11:10 Well, you want to take up where he left off?

01:11:13 If I did, you wouldn't find it so easy.

01:11:15 [music]

01:11:17 Look how we've had enough of this.

01:11:21 Well, when are you going to quit walking away?

01:11:23 Just as soon as we're out of sight of the party.

01:11:25 The lesson I learned back home, don't fight in front of women.

01:11:28 Well, we're out of sight now.

01:11:29 So we are.

01:11:31 [music]

01:11:33 Such vulgarity!

01:11:50 Someone should do something about it.

01:11:52 You're right.

01:11:54 Absolutely right.

01:12:00 [music]

01:12:02 You all right, young man?

01:12:30 I'm all right, Mr. McLintock.

01:12:32 Pretty fancy fighting for a country boy.

01:12:35 Two years at Purdue, Mr. McLintock, on the boxing team.

01:12:39 I never thought any farmer could whip me.

01:12:41 But you sure did.

01:12:44 I'm going to get him cleaned up.

01:12:46 Get him some water, Jake.

01:12:47 Yeah.

01:12:48 [music]

01:12:50 [music]

01:12:52 Get yourself cleaned up.

01:13:10 Go ask that girl for a dance.

01:13:12 Who?

01:13:13 Oh!

01:13:19 Did I miss one?

01:13:21 Where is he, Al Spiney, that young whippersnapper?

01:13:24 Where is that farmer boy? Where is he?

01:13:26 Where is he, G.W.?

01:13:28 Oh, so you're the young farmer boy that whipped my nephew.

01:13:33 Well, I'm Fauntleroy Sage, young Ben's uncle.

01:13:36 Well, I'm no farmer, but if you're young Ben's uncle, yes, I whipped him.

01:13:40 And you're intruding.

01:13:41 What's intruding mean?

01:13:43 Butting in.

01:13:44 Oh, so he's insulting me.

01:13:47 Well, then I got another reason for waddling him.

01:13:49 Besides, on account of him thrashing my nephew, young Ben.

01:13:52 Fauntleroy, you can't get mixed up in these youngsters' quarrel.

01:13:55 Family honor.

01:13:57 I can't have said a farmer whipped a sage.

01:13:59 You're twice his size.

01:14:01 Don't let that bother you, Mr. McLintock.

01:14:03 Mr. Fauntleroy insists, I'll just have to teach him the same lesson.

01:14:07 [thud]

01:14:10 [thud]

01:14:11 [grunt]

01:14:12 [thud]

01:14:15 [thud]

01:14:16 [thud]

01:14:17 [thud]

01:14:18 [thud]

01:14:19 [thud]

01:14:20 [thud]

01:14:21 Sage!

01:14:22 [thud]

01:14:23 [thud]

01:14:24 [thud]

01:14:25 [thud]

01:14:26 Sorry, young fella.

01:14:30 [laugh]

01:14:32 Hate to have to do that, young fella.

01:14:34 No hard feelings.

01:14:35 Not yet.

01:14:36 Not yet what?

01:14:39 I mean, that isn't all.

01:14:41 Now, wait a minute.

01:14:44 Fauntleroy, we're gonna make this a fair fight.

01:14:47 Course we are.

01:14:49 Course we are, G.W.

01:14:50 There'll be none of this.

01:14:51 [thud]

01:14:52 I wouldn't do that, G.W.

01:14:54 You wouldn't do--

01:14:55 Hell no, I wouldn't do that!

01:14:57 And, Dev, I don't want you kicking Fauntleroy in the knee.

01:15:01 He didn't do no such thing!

01:15:03 And none of this nose twisting.

01:15:05 [yells]

01:15:07 He's all yours.

01:15:08 [thud]

01:15:10 [thud]

01:15:12 [thud]

01:15:13 [thud]

01:15:14 [thud]

01:15:15 [thud]

01:15:16 Oh, where--

01:15:17 Where are my glasses?

01:15:20 Here you are, young fella.

01:15:21 Ouch!

01:15:22 I'm all right.

01:15:23 This Indian agent will stop stepping all over me.

01:15:26 I beg your pardon, young fella.

01:15:27 He dug you.

01:15:28 You're just fighting me.

01:15:29 But I want you to know that boy fought me a fair fight.

01:15:33 Well, I'm glad to hear that, Fauntleroy.

01:15:35 Here's my uncle.

01:15:37 Fauntleroy, what have you been doing?

01:15:40 I hope my uncle didn't bother anybody.

01:15:42 No bother.

01:15:43 I think we'd better join the ladies before they get curious.

01:15:47 Drago.

01:15:48 Fauntleroy, let's line them all up for a dosey-dose.

01:15:51 Jake, you think tincture of arnica would help?

01:15:56 Could be.

01:15:58 Used to help you.

01:16:00 Gentlemen, to the medicine cabinet.

01:16:05 [thud]

01:16:07 [music]

01:16:24 Good morning, Drago.

01:16:25 Morning, baby.

01:16:26 Have you seen Daddy?

01:16:27 He took over this morning with a scatty gun over his arm.

01:16:30 Went hunting.

01:16:31 [music]

01:16:42 [gunshot]

01:16:44 [horse neighing]

01:16:48 Morning, Daddy.

01:17:00 Good afternoon.

01:17:02 What gets you out so early?

01:17:04 It's something I have to get straight in my mind.

01:17:07 Yeah?

01:17:09 What?

01:17:11 Mama.

01:17:13 Why'd you and Mama stop living together, Daddy?

01:17:23 Why'd you separate?

01:17:28 Aren't you gonna answer me?

01:17:30 No.

01:17:31 It's sort of my business, I think.

01:17:34 I don't.

01:17:36 Is it another woman?

01:17:38 Usually is.

01:17:40 At your age, you always know what's usual.

01:17:43 Is it Mrs. Warren?

01:17:45 Becky, I don't want to start laying the law down your first day back home.

01:17:51 But I'll have no more such talk.

01:17:54 First time I ever saw Mrs. Warren was last week.

01:17:57 She has a job here at which she's very good.

01:18:00 I hope you'll have the good manners to not pry into other people's business.

01:18:05 [gunshot]

01:18:07 Your mother's in mine.

01:18:10 Pretty good shot, Daddy.

01:18:13 Oh, I can understand your trouble.

01:18:15 Mama's often so, well, so petulant.

01:18:19 Petulant?

01:18:20 You learned a lot of words back east, Becky.

01:18:23 Wish to God they'd have taught you some meanings.

01:18:25 You were only about six months old when your mother stayed alone with you in the sod hut under eight foot of snow.

01:18:33 While I moved to her 300 miles south to try and save it.

01:18:37 Saved about half of it.

01:18:39 You were a little more than a year old at the time of the great Comanche raids.

01:18:44 We stood off 500 plains Indians for nine days.

01:18:49 Petulant, Becky?

01:18:51 I think you better go on home.

01:18:53 See that Ching gets those birds.

01:19:11 Becky.

01:19:13 Come here.

01:19:19 [horse neighing]

01:19:24 There's something I ought to tell you.

01:19:27 I guess now's as good a time as any.

01:19:30 You're going to have every young buck west of the Missouri around here trying to marry you.

01:19:35 Mostly because you're a handsome filly.

01:19:38 But partly because I own everything in this country from here to there.

01:19:42 They'll think you're going to inherit it.

01:19:45 Well, you're not.

01:19:47 You're going to leave most of it to...

01:19:50 Well, to the nation, really.

01:19:52 For a park.

01:19:54 Where no lumberman will cut down all the trees for houses with leaky roosts.

01:20:00 Nobody will kill all the beaver for hats for dudes.

01:20:03 Nor murder the buffalo for robes.

01:20:07 What I'm going to give you is a 500 cow spread on the upper Green River.

01:20:12 Now that may not seem like much.

01:20:15 But it's more than we had, your mother and I.

01:20:19 Some folks are going to say I'm doing all this so I can sit up in the hereafter and look down on a park named after me.

01:20:27 Or that I was disappointed in you.

01:20:30 Didn't want you to get all that money.

01:20:32 But the real reason, Becky, is because I love you.

01:20:37 And I want you and some young man to have what I had.

01:20:41 Because all the gold in the United States treasury...

01:20:45 And all the harp music in heaven can't equal what happens between a man and a woman with all that growing together.

01:20:56 I can't explain it any better than that.

01:21:06 All right, Daddy.

01:21:10 Becky.

01:21:16 When you're as old as I am, you'll thank me for this.

01:21:21 Daddy, I'm full grown.

01:21:24 I wasn't worrying about me.

01:21:27 I was thinking about you and Mama.

01:21:48 [laughter]

01:22:02 Oh.

01:22:12 Well, sir, all three of them fell right out of the carriage.

01:22:18 Well, it's getting rather late, Becky.

01:22:20 It's bedtime.

01:22:22 Mother.

01:22:24 He brought this.

01:22:25 He must have intended to use it.

01:22:27 Sing us a song.

01:22:28 Well, if you really want me to.

01:22:30 Gosh, I haven't played in quite some...

01:22:31 You know just right for me.

01:22:33 Sure.

01:22:34 It's the rage now.

01:22:35 Oh.

01:22:41 Dev.

01:22:42 What are you doing?

01:22:43 Oh.

01:22:45 I, uh...

01:22:47 I just thought I'd get another cigar.

01:22:50 Well, you've got one in your mouth and two burning in the tray.

01:22:54 Not moved.

01:22:56 Tell us what we can play all the time.

01:23:00 You're cuter than a baby's stare.

01:23:05 And softer than a mouse's ear.

01:23:11 I want the whole wide world to hear.

01:23:16 You're just right for me.

01:23:21 You're sweeter than...

01:23:24 Oh, no, not that rhythm, Junior.

01:23:25 Do it the way they do at the plaza.

01:23:26 I know the words.

01:23:28 Sure, Becky.

01:23:29 Will you sing with me?

01:23:30 Of course.

01:23:31 All right.

01:23:37 I love a man who's pretty and smart and clever.

01:23:42 It's your move.

01:23:43 Oh.

01:23:47 Oh, Dev, you're playing like an amateur.

01:23:50 Let's call it an evening.

01:23:52 I'd like to know where your mind is tonight.

01:23:55 You're sweeter than...

01:23:57 Pretty good.

01:24:04 Boys like her father.

01:24:06 You're just right for me.

01:24:12 Sweeter than honey, finer than wine.

01:24:16 I'm sure they'd find you on that honeysuckle vine.

01:24:21 I would melt in your embrace.

01:24:25 You'd disappear without a trace.

01:24:29 To die like this is no disgrace.

01:24:33 This is the time.

01:24:36 This is the place for you.

01:24:41 You're just right for me.

01:24:49 Well, that's so good.

01:24:51 I kind of hate to break this up.

01:24:53 But we're going to have that Indian hearing tomorrow morning.

01:24:56 Sir, about our conversation earlier this evening, I believe I'd better apologize.

01:25:01 Yeah?

01:25:02 Yes, sir.

01:25:03 I've been thinking it over.

01:25:04 And when I called you a reactionary, that's merely my generation's term for your generation.

01:25:11 Nothing personal, sir.

01:25:12 Oh, really?

01:25:16 Well, good night, sir.

01:25:18 Good night, Mrs. McLintock.

01:25:19 Good night, and do come again.

01:25:23 Good night, Draco.

01:25:24 Night.

01:25:28 Boss?

01:25:30 Was the reactionary me?

01:25:32 Me, I guess.

01:25:34 He says that anyone that wanted to sell at a profit was a reactionary.

01:25:38 Was we reactionaries back in them days when you were selling beef cattle for six cents a pound on the hoof?

01:25:42 Well, I was arguing with him, college boy.

01:26:02 Devlin Warren, if you was my kind of man, you wouldn't let some dude walk off with a pretty girl west of Denver without putting up some kind of fight.

01:26:08 Does it show?

01:26:09 Oh, what can I do?

01:26:10 I'm just one of her father's employees.

01:26:12 I'm just a hired hand around here.

01:26:14 Every so often, Dev, you spill the strangest ideas.

01:26:21 Everybody works for somebody.

01:26:23 Me, I work for everybody in these United States that steps into a butcher's shop for a T-bone steak.

01:26:29 And you work for me.

01:26:30 There's not much difference.

01:26:33 Daddy, the most terrible thing just happened.

01:26:37 Junior's horse ran away.

01:26:38 The one he rented at the livery stable.

01:26:40 You tied up a rented horse by the reins, he's probably back in the stall by now.

01:26:44 I think we could get Junior something that he can ride.

01:26:47 What I'd rather do, Daddy, is drive Junior home in Arbor Rouge.

01:26:51 It's a lovely evening, and I'm sure Uncle Drago wouldn't mind driving.

01:26:55 I would, and I thought the kind of manners don't keep me from saying so, just to be polite.

01:26:59 I'll drive him home, Mr. McLintock.

01:27:01 And you don't have to come, Miss Becky.

01:27:03 I'll see that he gets home safely.

01:27:05 I can take care of myself.

01:27:07 You got yourself a foot, didn't you?

01:27:09 Deb, get the carriage.

01:27:10 Drago?

01:27:11 I'm going with them.

01:27:12 Now you've got me wrangling dudes.

01:27:26 [singing]

01:27:37 Miss Becky, somebody better help me watch the road.

01:27:40 You know, I'm new around here.

01:27:42 Might take the wrong turn off.

01:27:44 Devlin warn you, no, there isn't a turn off between here and town.

01:27:48 [singing]

01:27:52 To die like this is no disgrace.

01:27:56 This is time.

01:27:58 This is time.

01:28:00 Devlin warn, what are you trying to do, kill us?

01:28:07 You'd rather have your friend drive?

01:28:09 Yeah!

01:28:11 [grunting]

01:28:13 Daddy?

01:28:26 Daddy, I have never been so humiliated in my entire life.

01:28:29 I said what I said and I'll stand by it to the death.

01:28:32 Shoot him, Daddy.

01:28:34 Shoot him at once.

01:28:36 Why?

01:28:37 My honor is at stake.

01:28:39 Well now, your honor.

01:28:41 Absolutely.

01:28:42 He impugned my honor.

01:28:44 Impugned? What does that mean?

01:28:46 Slander.

01:28:47 He slandered my honor.

01:28:48 He did?

01:28:49 I said what I said and I'll stand by it to the death.

01:28:52 He admits it, see?

01:28:53 Shoot him.

01:28:54 Well, what is he admitting to?

01:28:56 Why, he called me a...

01:28:57 I won't even repeat the word.

01:28:59 I didn't necessarily call you anything, but I said what I said and I'll stand by it to the death.

01:29:04 Well, just for the tally books, what did you say?

01:29:07 I said that any girl who would permit a man to kiss her before they're formally engaged is a trollop.

01:29:12 He said it again. Shoot him.

01:29:14 Now, hold on.

01:29:15 No, don't hold on.

01:29:16 If you're my father, if you love me, you'll shoot him.

01:29:19 Well, I'm your father and I sure love you.

01:29:24 So?

01:29:25 Oh, you shot him.

01:29:28 You really shot him.

01:29:30 Hey.

01:29:31 If he dies...

01:29:32 If he dies, he'll be the first man ever killed with a blank cartridge.

01:29:35 We use this to start the races on the fourth.

01:29:38 Hey!

01:29:39 I'm on fire!

01:29:41 Oh, you poor dear.

01:29:43 Poor dear?

01:29:44 You'd have had me shot in cold blood.

01:29:46 But it didn't happen.

01:29:48 Yelling, I insulted you and all. What you need is a good spanking.

01:29:51 Dev, Daddy!

01:29:53 Leave me out of this.

01:29:55 I think I'll give you what you deserve.

01:29:57 You wouldn't dare.

01:29:58 Oh, wouldn't I?

01:29:59 You'll think next time before you get someone shot.

01:30:02 This kid and I know I'm gonna help you.

01:30:04 Don't you?

01:30:05 Oh, Daddy!

01:30:06 Wait for Daddy!

01:30:07 Oh!

01:30:08 Oh!

01:30:09 Oh, don't help me!

01:30:11 Don't!

01:30:12 Oh!

01:30:13 Oh, boy!

01:30:14 I hate you!

01:30:15 I hate you!

01:30:17 Mommy!

01:30:18 Mommy!

01:30:19 Oh!

01:30:20 G.W., was that a shot?

01:30:22 Oh!

01:30:27 Oh!

01:30:30 Becky, what happened?

01:30:31 He spanked me!

01:30:33 You spanked my daughter?

01:30:37 Dev.

01:30:38 You mean you stood there while that brute beat our daughter?

01:30:44 G.W., what's happened to you in the last few years?

01:30:46 Better part of valor, son.

01:30:48 Oh, isn't it enough that you've always treated me like a squaw?

01:30:50 Without subjecting dear, sweet Becky to this crude vulgar way of life?

01:30:54 Catherine, you women are always raising hell about one thing

01:30:56 when it's something else you're really sore about.

01:30:59 Don't you think it's about time you told me what put the burr under your saddle about me?

01:31:04 I don't intend to stand here and hold a midnight conversation with an intoxicated man.

01:31:10 And I am not intoxicated!

01:31:22 Yet!

01:31:28 [Helicopter whirring]

01:31:30 Hello, Captain!

01:31:35 Hello, brother!

01:31:56 Chief Puma?

01:31:57 Yes, Sergeant.

01:31:58 Big McClintock, we know you get us fair judgment.

01:32:03 You gentlemen, follow me.

01:32:06 Well, Jake, G.W.?

01:32:14 Well, G.W., it's been a long time.

01:32:22 Not long enough, cutvert.

01:32:26 Your husband is a rude man.

01:32:28 Yes, cutvert, I know.

01:32:31 Well, you're one day Indians, Mr. McClintock.

01:32:46 Mr. McClintock is not running this hearing.

01:32:48 Sergeant, seat those Indians.

01:32:51 Yes, sir.

01:32:52 Gentlemen, be seated.

01:32:55 You know, there are a whole five here who want to come into town.

01:32:58 Proceed, Lieutenant.

01:32:59 This hearing is now in session.

01:33:03 Governor Cutvert Humphrey is presiding.

01:33:05 Good luck, Daddy.

01:33:07 I'm afraid it's a packed court.

01:33:09 Government edict number 826.

01:33:11 As ordered, that the Comanche Nation be transferred from their present reservation to Fort Sill.

01:33:17 It is the government's claim, as filed by Indian agent Agard,

01:33:21 that these chiefs, after being released from prison by a kindly government,

01:33:26 did that rouse and incite defiance among the tribe against said order.

01:33:31 It seems, gentlemen, that although some of these chiefs speak English,

01:33:36 Chief Puma is quite at home in our language,

01:33:39 they have chosen Mr. McLintock to be their spokesman.

01:33:42 I speak for the Comanche, or rather I offer this translation.

01:33:48 Proceed, Mr. McLintock.

01:33:51 The Comanche say, "We are an old people and a proud people.

01:34:03 When the white man first came among us, we were as many as the grasses of the prairie.

01:34:09 Now we are few, but we are still proud.

01:34:13 For if a man loses pride in manhood, he is nothing.

01:34:16 You tell us now that if we will let you send us away to this place called Fort Sill,

01:34:22 you will feed us and care for us.

01:34:25 Let us tell you this.

01:34:28 It is a Comanche law that no chief ever eats unless first he sees that the pots are full of meat

01:34:34 in the lodges of the widows and orphans.

01:34:37 It is the Comanche way of life.

01:34:40 This that the white man calls charity is a fine thing for widows and orphans,

01:34:45 but no warrior can accept it.

01:34:48 For if he does, he is no longer a man, and when he is no longer a man, he is nothing,

01:34:53 and better off dead.

01:34:55 You say to the Comanche, "You are widows and orphans.

01:34:58 You are not men."

01:35:00 And we, the Comanche, say we would rather be dead.

01:35:03 It will not be a remembered fight when you kill us.

01:35:06 Because we are few now and have few weapons.

01:35:09 But we will fight, and we will die Comanche.

01:35:14 Thank you, Big McClintock.

01:35:20 Am I to gather that Comanche defy the government of the United States?

01:35:25 Yes, you may gather that the Comanche defy the United States government,

01:35:30 or at least this commission.

01:35:32 Gentlemen, I have a letter for you.

01:35:35 Ladies and gentlemen.

01:35:37 It is the order of this court that these chiefs be incarcerated until such time

01:35:49 as the detachment of United States cavalry be made available

01:35:53 to escort them and the Comanche nation to Fort Sill.

01:35:56 This court is adjourned.

01:36:04 Oh, McClintock, you are important chief amongst these white people.

01:36:08 Sway them.

01:36:10 Have them give us few guns to make the fight worthwhile.

01:36:13 Let us have one last remembered fight for end of Comanche.

01:36:17 I almost wish I could arrange that, Puma.

01:36:21 Ahalan-nicha.

01:36:23 Ahalan-nicha.

01:36:25 Sergeant.

01:36:28 Yes.

01:36:29 Let the flag carry on, gentlemen.

01:36:32 It is sad, these changing times.

01:36:44 It is not the times that are changing, Mama.

01:36:47 [The flag is carried.]

01:36:50 Hello, Lam.

01:37:14 [The flag is carried.]

01:37:17 Bunny.

01:37:32 Oh, howdy, McLintock.

01:37:34 Hey, figured you'd be belly down drunk by now.

01:37:37 I've been doing some thinking drinking, Bunny.

01:37:41 Is that boxcar still on the sighting?

01:37:44 Well, sure, but...

01:37:45 But what?

01:37:46 I don't like it.

01:37:47 You don't, eh?

01:37:48 You figure if them Indians get out of there and lead the cavalry on a wild goose chase,

01:37:52 that great white father is going to get nosy.

01:37:54 Get nosy and he'll investigate.

01:37:56 And when they find out how that side-saddled governor's been messing things up,

01:38:00 they'll give those Indians a fair trial.

01:38:02 But that's live ammunition in that boxcar.

01:38:05 You know what'll happen if them Indians get some guns in their hands?

01:38:07 Somebody's going to get hurt.

01:38:09 Is Puma's word good enough for you?

01:38:11 Well, I don't...

01:38:13 Hey, McLintock, you got yourself a partner.

01:38:15 Leave me out of this.

01:38:17 Hey, McLintock.

01:38:19 Good night, Bunny.

01:38:24 Good night, Governor.

01:38:32 There is a Katie with her light red hair

01:38:39 Sweet as the roses on a summer air

01:38:45 I'll find her somewhere while the moon is high

01:38:52 And tell her that I love her

01:38:56 And I'll love her till I die

01:38:59 Katie! Katie Gilholy!

01:39:04 Come back to this home!

01:39:06 Katie! Katie!

01:39:10 Katherine Gilholy McLintock!

01:39:14 Where's the woman of the house?

01:39:17 Uh, Mr. McLintock?

01:39:19 Oh, there you are.

01:39:21 Mrs. Warren.

01:39:24 Oh, good evening.

01:39:26 I waited up for you, Mr. McLintock.

01:39:28 Oh, how nice.

01:39:30 I want to talk to you about something.

01:39:32 Delighted, delighted.

01:39:34 309 times straight.

01:39:37 I beg your pardon?

01:39:38 309 times straight without a miss.

01:39:41 Got to be a record.

01:39:43 I suppose so. Now, Mr. McLintock, what I wanted to say...

01:39:46 Two pounds Stetson, six inch brim, 53 feet in the air.

01:39:51 It's got to be a record.

01:39:52 I'm sure it is, but the reason I waited...

01:39:54 Damn it, woman, can't you hold that glass still?

01:39:58 Of course, sir.

01:39:59 Now, down the hatch to my world record.

01:40:06 Down the hatch!

01:40:08 Yes, sir.

01:40:16 And now, to the governor of our territory.

01:40:21 The governor of the territory, sir?

01:40:23 Now, don't you stick up for him, Mrs. Warren.

01:40:26 You're a fine woman, Mrs. Warren.

01:40:28 But you'll certainly go down in my estimation...

01:40:30 if you stick up for Cuthbert H. Humphrey, governor of this territory.

01:40:35 I don't mean to change...

01:40:36 Down the hatch.

01:40:38 Yes, sir. Down the hatch.

01:40:44 Cuthbert H. Humphrey, governor of our territory, is a cull.

01:40:50 Do you know what a cull is, ma'am?

01:40:53 A cull is a specimen that is so worthless...

01:40:57 that you have to cut him out of the herd.

01:40:59 Now, if all the people in the world were put in one herd...

01:41:03 Cuthbert is the one I would throw my rope at.

01:41:06 At whom?

01:41:07 At whom I would throw my rope at.

01:41:10 Natural born cull.

01:41:12 Another touch, ma'am?

01:41:14 Oh, no, sir, no.

01:41:19 I don't mind if I do.

01:41:21 Good. Can't walk on one leg.

01:41:24 Oh, I didn't mean to be vulgar, ma'am.

01:41:26 Can't walk on one limb.

01:41:28 It's all right.

01:41:30 Sounds silly. Only a bird can walk on a limb.

01:41:34 You know my wife? Her name's Kate.

01:41:37 She insists on being called Catherine. Do you know her?

01:41:39 Of course, Mr. McLintock, and that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

01:41:42 Well, she thinks that Cuthbert H. Humphrey is panting for her...

01:41:47 like a bull buffalo at the first green of the spring.

01:41:51 But what Cuthbert is panting for is my money.

01:41:56 Don't make me feel like I'm drinking alone, ma'am.

01:41:59 Very well, Mr. McLintock, if you insist.

01:42:03 Down the hatch!

01:42:05 Good.

01:42:08 (clinking)

01:42:10 Mr. McLintock?

01:42:22 I have something very important to say to you.

01:42:27 Very important.

01:42:31 Guess it'll have to wait till the morning.

01:42:34 Toodle!

01:42:37 Oh, sorry. Sorry.

01:42:40 Betty, bye-bye.

01:42:42 Whoops!

01:42:52 Mrs. Warren.

01:42:55 Let me assist you.

01:42:57 Very kind.

01:43:00 (music playing)

01:43:03 (laughing)

01:43:08 (screaming)

01:43:11 Whoops!

01:43:20 What's going on here?

01:43:24 Now, Catherine, are you going to believe what you see...

01:43:27 or what I tell you?

01:43:29 Oh...

01:43:31 Uh, Mrs. McLintock, hope you won't misunderstand.

01:43:37 It's the first hundred women sitting on his lap that I misunderstood.

01:43:41 Number 101 is quite simple.

01:43:44 Now, G.W. McLintock, I have something...

01:43:47 He's gone to sleep.

01:43:50 Just when I know exactly what I want to say to him,

01:43:54 he goes to sleep.

01:43:57 I waited up to talk to Mr. McLintock.

01:44:02 I wanted to tell him I was quitting.

01:44:05 You see, Sheriff Lord has asked me to marry him, and...

01:44:09 Oh, congratulations.

01:44:12 I don't want to seem prudish,

01:44:14 but if you are going to marry Sheriff Lord,

01:44:16 it seems to me that you're sitting on the wrong man's lap.

01:44:21 Oh...

01:44:24 Come on, I'll help you upstairs.

01:44:26 We have a long talk about men in general.

01:44:29 Ladies!

01:44:33 One moment.

01:44:36 Oh, oh!

01:44:47 Watch out! You'll get us all killed!

01:44:49 Oh! Whoops!

01:44:51 (SCREAMS)

01:44:53 Wait a minute, ladies, till I catch my breath,

01:45:00 and I'll get you up those stairs as sure as my name is

01:45:04 George Washington McLintock!

01:45:08 (THUD)

01:45:10 You may be quitting, Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Ward, but not tomorrow.

01:45:25 I want my breakfast in bed. I want a...

01:45:28 I know, toast, lightly browned...

01:45:30 Somebody sure put a knob on my skull.

01:45:33 Here's Katie. I'll speak it.

01:45:35 Katie? Why?

01:45:37 Mrs. Warren was there.

01:45:39 Oh.

01:45:40 And there you was there.

01:45:42 Oh.

01:45:43 And there that whiskey bottle was there.

01:45:45 And Katie's temper being what Katie's temper is, well, there you are.

01:45:48 Draco, old friend.

01:45:50 Huh?

01:45:51 My wife does not understand me.

01:45:53 I see you mean it different than any other man.

01:45:55 Come on, I've got to get you upstairs.

01:45:57 Get you ready for that big celebration tomorrow.

01:45:59 Oh!

01:46:02 (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

01:46:04 Draco, I am sleeping in the den.

01:46:12 (CROWD CHATTERING)

01:46:14 (GUNSHOTS)

01:46:23 (LAUGHTER)

01:46:30 Ain't you got no respect for your elders?

01:46:33 (CHILDREN SINGING)

01:46:37 Galloway!

01:46:46 Here I am! Hope you get the mean one!

01:46:49 Come on, get him aboard.

01:46:56 Is everybody ready?

01:46:58 Man in number five needs a flaxen.

01:47:00 Get him one.

01:47:02 Let us know when you're ready.

01:47:06 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:47:09 it is my honor to present to you

01:47:12 the governor of our territory,

01:47:16 Husbert H. Humphreys.

01:47:20 Thank you, Mayor.

01:47:23 My friends and citizens of this great territory,

01:47:28 this is the ninth consecutive year

01:47:31 it has been my privilege and my pleasure

01:47:35 to inaugurate the McLintock Fourth of July celebration.

01:47:40 Now, the first event will be the wild horse race.

01:47:44 But before I fire this shot to start the event,

01:47:48 I would like to say a few modest words

01:47:51 regarding my stewardship of this great territory.

01:47:55 (GUNSHOT)

01:47:57 (CHEERING)

01:47:59 (CHEERING)

01:48:02 (CHEERING)

01:48:29 (CHEERING)

01:48:31 All right, Professor Birnbaum.

01:48:44 Gentlemen.

01:48:46 Here, busy horse.

01:48:50 Come on, get them all lined up. Come here, King.

01:48:52 Now, boys, you all know the rules.

01:48:54 It's twice around the inside and once around the outside.

01:48:57 First cowboy to hit that finish line without busting that egg is a winner.

01:49:01 And I caution you boys about some of them eggs

01:49:04 because some of them eggs are last year's holdovers.

01:49:07 All right, mount up.

01:49:13 (EXPLOSION)

01:49:22 (CHEERING)

01:49:24 Catherine, my dear, you seem to be enjoying yourself.

01:49:39 Oh, yes. This is wonderful.

01:49:41 It's the only thing I really do enjoy about this barbaric country,

01:49:44 the Fourth of July celebration.

01:49:49 Well, Catherine, I've been here for three days.

01:49:51 I haven't heard from you. Is anything wrong?

01:49:53 Wrong?

01:49:54 Well, I just hope that it hasn't been necessary for you to say anything to G.W.

01:49:59 What are you talking about?

01:50:04 Well, Catherine, you see, I'm in a rather delicate position,

01:50:09 being governor of the territory and all.

01:50:11 I just hope you haven't found it necessary to say anything about...

01:50:14 About what?

01:50:18 About you and me.

01:50:20 (CHUCKLING)

01:50:23 Why, you pompous windbag.

01:50:30 Do you think that you're the only man who's ever tried to play patty fingers with me,

01:50:34 who's ever tried to lure me into the moonlight?

01:50:36 Well, no, but I...

01:50:37 Well, I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself.

01:50:40 My husband knows it.

01:50:42 I can assure you, governor, that your reputation is untarnished.

01:50:46 Now get out of my way.

01:50:48 (CHEERING)

01:50:50 Well, we got ourselves a winner.

01:51:12 Curly Fletcher!

01:51:14 Michael, drop Curly!

01:51:16 Give me the egg.

01:51:20 Disqualified.

01:51:24 (LAUGHTER)

01:51:26 Here you go, Curly.

01:51:28 G.W., G.W., you'll never believe what happened over there.

01:51:33 What?

01:51:34 You smell of beer.

01:51:36 Well, naturally, I'm drinking beer.

01:51:38 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:51:41 the next event will be a contest

01:51:44 between the two bronco-busting champions of our territory.

01:51:50 Remember the year I rode in that event?

01:51:53 Wore your garters to hold up my sleeves?

01:51:55 (LAUGHTER)

01:51:56 We had a bet and I won it.

01:51:58 (LAUGHTER)

01:52:00 George Washington McClintock, you are a very crude man.

01:52:03 Well, I guess so, but that was a rough horse like to jarred my insides loose.

01:52:07 (LAUGHTER)

01:52:08 But it was worth it.

01:52:10 (LAUGHTER)

01:52:12 Three beers!

01:52:16 Hooray!

01:52:18 (DRAMATIC MUSIC)

01:52:20 One, two, three, go!

01:52:47 (CHEERING)

01:52:49 Go!

01:53:11 (CHEERING)

01:53:13 Damn, Jeff, are you all right?

01:53:24 I guess so. Nothing busted but my pride.

01:53:27 Well, that ought to even things up, farmer.

01:53:30 For what?

01:53:31 Well, that sore nose you gave me the other day.

01:53:33 Well, that ain't what's sore on him.

01:53:36 (LAUGHTER)

01:53:39 (CHEERING)

01:53:41 The closing event is the cowpony race.

01:53:57 The finish line is at the barbecue.

01:54:00 So start meandering.

01:54:03 Come on!

01:54:06 Now, what is that, false courage?

01:54:09 (CHUCKLES)

01:54:10 Why, you know a Douglas doesn't ever use a thing like that.

01:54:14 I want you to get on that horse, get out in front and stay out in front.

01:54:18 I'll be out in front, Dad. All the way.

01:54:21 Ah, good boy.

01:54:23 Now, remember, stay out in front. That Agamemnon's a good horse.

01:54:27 Whoa, whoa, Agamemnon.

01:54:34 (ENGINE REVVING)

01:54:36 11 foot in, she's all done.

01:54:41 Oh, boy.

01:54:42 (ALL SHOUTING)

01:54:51 Oh, boy!

01:55:02 There's the line.

01:55:04 Come on, boy. Whoa!

01:55:06 (HORSE NEIGHING)

01:55:08 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:14 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:24 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:31 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:33 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:39 (ALL SHOUTING)

01:55:41 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:57 (EXPLOSION)

01:55:59 Oh, Mack-o.

01:56:13 Mack Hardy. Where'd your horse get?

01:56:16 Whose idea was this stunt?

01:56:20 God, don't call him. Turn him a real fool.

01:56:22 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:24 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:26 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:32 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:40 (HORSE NEIGHING)

01:56:44 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:47 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:52 (EXPLOSION)

01:56:54 I reckon that's about all the excitement you'd want for 1/4th of July, eh?

01:57:06 Pluma finally got his way.

01:57:08 But I reckon he's riding out his last war party.

01:57:10 He won't get very far.

01:57:12 But one thing still has me puzzled.

01:57:14 Where did they get the guns?

01:57:16 I was wondering the same thing.

01:57:19 My kidney's been borrowing me, Bunny.

01:57:22 G.W.! Psst! Psst! Psst!

01:57:27 (LAUGHING)

01:57:29 What an idiotic joke!

01:57:31 Joke? Do you think that was a joke?

01:57:33 Oh, shut up! Do you want everybody in town to see me?

01:57:36 You look good in feathers.

01:57:38 Deb, I think they've gone.

01:57:44 Yeah.

01:57:46 What do you want to do about it?

01:57:47 What can I do?

01:57:49 Nothing! Just like you've always done.

01:57:51 How long, G.W.?

01:58:05 How long what?

01:58:07 Pat, she's been riding herd on you for two years now.

01:58:10 I'm a peaceable man.

01:58:12 But my father used to say, "You raise your voice, it doesn't do any good.

01:58:15 It's time to raise your hand."

01:58:17 Well, I've been planning to do something about it.

01:58:19 I'll, uh... I'll have another talk with her.

01:58:22 Talk to her?

01:58:24 Talk to her? Talking won't do any good!

01:58:27 Becky, have you seen your...

01:58:32 What's been happening around here?

01:58:35 You've got hay all over you.

01:58:38 Been some mighty sneaky goings on here during that raid, Mr. McLintock.

01:58:44 Well, it was said only a trollop would kiss a man before they were formally engaged.

01:58:48 Oh, but we are engaged, sir.

01:58:50 You are?

01:58:51 That is, with your permission.

01:58:53 Well, you've got it.

01:58:55 Oh, Mrs. Warren?

01:58:57 I think it's wonderful.

01:58:59 I guess this is the only engagement that ever started off of a spanking.

01:59:06 I reckon Birnbaum is right.

01:59:13 All right.

01:59:15 Lord bless us, this is gonna be a great day.

01:59:20 Doggone it, folks!

01:59:22 Let's don't let a little old Indian raid break up a good barbecue and a rodeo!

01:59:26 (cheering)

01:59:28 Yeah, meat's on!

01:59:30 You contestants get ready for the cow pony race!

01:59:33 (cheering)

01:59:35 Who is it?

01:59:39 It's me. Let me in.

01:59:41 Not now.

01:59:43 Right now.

01:59:45 Are you insane?

01:59:46 I want to talk to you.

01:59:48 It'll have to wait.

01:59:50 I've taken all I'm gonna take from you.

01:59:54 You are insane!

01:59:55 You are going to tell me why you packed up, picked up, and walked out on me.

01:59:59 Two years ago, you remember, you came home from Denver with lipstick all over your...

02:00:04 (screaming)

02:00:07 Lipstick on my collar.

02:00:09 I must have just approved it.

02:00:14 Who cares?

02:00:16 Why, you big...

02:00:18 (screaming)

02:00:35 (laughing)

02:00:37 Catherine!

02:00:44 G.W., you are a ruffian.

02:00:51 Cuthbert, you are right.

02:01:02 Well, what kind of a family is that?

02:01:05 The best!

02:01:08 And dangerous, Roy.

02:01:10 Who won the race?

02:01:16 Who cares? History's being made.

02:01:19 (music playing)

02:01:21 Yes, Rufus?

02:01:40 I regret to inform you I've changed my mind about matrimony.

02:01:43 Rufus!

02:01:47 (laughing)

02:01:49 Hey, leave him! He's running!

02:02:07 (laughing)
