In the small town of Delphi, the gruff and affluent landowner, Tobias Brown, is willing to take Biarn under his wing and teach him the hard lessons of life--while, on the other hand--the kind and generous newspaper editor, Doyle Magee, is also interested in taking in the boy. As the grand 4th of July celebration approaches, two polar opposites and the entire city's compassionate inhabitants want to help Biarn become a man, against the backdrop of enthusiastic preparations for the fascinating annual horse-trotting race. Is innocent Biarn destined to fulfil his dream in Missouri's quiet little city?   Crew:   • Directed by: Jerry Hopper  • Written by: John Burress (as John Burr), Norman S.

00:08:57He did it again

00:09:07He did it again

00:09:28He did it again

00:09:32One and a quarter teaspoons of chili powder

00:09:36He did it again

00:09:39one

00:09:43He did it again

00:09:48He did it again, he did it again

00:09:58So

00:10:14Here comes this price here she comes here comes this price here comes this price

00:10:23Morning mr. Brown

00:10:28Here

00:10:31Here comes this price here she comes here comes this price wilberforce you stop that screaming you'll ruin your voice. Yes, ma

00:10:57So

00:11:21Untie that horse

00:11:23I I can't it's it's you heard my sister untie the horse

00:11:36Leave that horse alone

00:11:49Tie him up again

00:11:51Good

00:11:52I've told you my grandfather's statue is not to be used as a hitching post. That's purely true miss. Anna love Price

00:12:00But I don't know of any losses. I can't tie up the public property this statue is public property

00:12:04It's the statue of one of the great men of Missouri

00:12:06And you should have better taste than to desecrate his memory every time you drive into town

00:12:12As far as I can see that's about all the old general is good for

00:12:16Well, you would think so

00:12:18you would think so. How could the son of a barefooted sharecropper think anything else?

00:12:24Well, I'm not barefoot now, Miss Anna Love Price. I'm not sharing crops either.

00:12:29Yes, but you would be if it hadn't been for my grandfather,

00:12:32why he even gave your father a 10-acre start in life.

00:12:36Seems like I've heard all this before, Miss Anna Love Price.

00:12:39But you go right ahead. This runaway kid never heard it.

00:12:44The only reason you come to Delphi is to show off in front of all these people

00:12:48and try to impress them with how rich you are.

00:12:51That's part of it.

00:12:53That's all of it. You love to strut around the square in your fancy clothes

00:12:58and brag about how much land you own.

00:13:00No, no, ma'am. I got another reason.

00:13:04Yes, you come here to insult my grandfather's memory and to humiliate me.

00:13:09I like to see you get mad.

00:13:10Puts a little fire in you. Takes away some of that piquety look.

00:13:15You know, you stay mad a little more, you might get some man interested in you as a wife.

00:13:20Do you good.

00:13:21You're overstepping yourself.

00:13:24I overstepped myself years ago, Miss Anna Love Price.

00:13:27If I hadn't, I'd still be plowing for your family.

00:13:30Now, if you don't mind, I'll go to your bank and count my money.

00:13:41That man is a barbarian.

00:13:44Not a bad one-word description of Tobias.

00:13:47He is a rich barbarian.

00:13:49Money cannot make a gentleman, Mr. McGee.

00:13:51He's a crude, ignorant, loutish, obnoxious oaf.

00:13:57Is it true, Miss Price, that the, uh, the general chewed tobacco?

00:14:11My name is Doyle McGee.

00:14:12You're new around here, aren't you?

00:14:14Yes, sir.

00:14:16What do they call you, where you come from?

00:14:18Byron, sir.

00:14:20Byron?

00:14:21Sounds like it would be Irish, Scotch, could be Welsh.

00:14:26I guess so, sir.

00:14:29The last name goes with it?

00:14:32Yes, sir. It's Gil Turner, sir.

00:14:36Byron Gil Turner.

00:14:38That sounds like a writer's name.

00:14:40No, sir. It's just Byron Turner.

00:14:43That's good enough.

00:14:45Got, uh, kinfolk here in Delphi?

00:14:49No, sir. I'm on my way to Florida.

00:14:52Florida, huh?

00:14:54Nice country, some parts of it.

00:14:57Family live there?

00:14:59No, sir. I'm just going to Florida.

00:15:01I hope you've got more money than I had when I hit Florida.

00:15:04The living's pretty high there.

00:15:06I've got some money, sir.

00:15:07Well, I don't know.

00:15:08Puts us in the same boat?

00:15:10I've got some money.

00:15:13Just how much do you figure some adds up to?

00:15:16I've got them for dollars, sir.

00:15:19Well, you may be a little pressed for cash by the time you get to Florida.

00:15:23Suppose we go over to Finest Dority's and talk this out over a hamburger.

00:15:27I've eaten, sir.

00:15:29Yeah, I know, but this one's on me.

00:15:32Thank you kindly, sir, but I don't make a practice of accepting things from strangers.

00:15:38Well, I used to think that way myself.

00:15:40Now that you mention it, I guess I still do.

00:15:44I'm going over to Shelbyville a little later on.

00:15:46If you want to wait while I knock out on a tutorial, I'll give you a lift.

00:15:51It's on the way to Florida.

00:15:53Not much sense walking when you can ride, is there?

00:15:58No, sir.

00:15:58Well, all I got to say is that they just ought to make Tobias Brown quit aggravating Miss Price.

00:16:04That gummit ought to box his ears.

00:16:06They ought to make him into...

00:16:07They ought to just let him know that we ain't...

00:16:11Beg your pardon, Willie.

00:16:12That we ain't going to put up with it no more.

00:16:15You're absolutely right, Clyde.

00:16:19And I am going to do something about it.

00:16:21I'm going to make it worse.

00:16:23I'm going to make it worse.

00:16:24I'm going to make it worse.

00:16:25I'm going to make it worse.

00:16:26I'm going to make it worse.

00:16:27I'm going to do something about it.

00:16:35Since Herb and me here constitute a quorum of the Board of Selectmen,

00:16:39I hereby call a special meeting right now.

00:16:42Whereas Tobias Brown has offended the citizens of Delphi,

00:16:47I move that Clyde Hamilton be appointed as a committee of one

00:16:51to tell said Tobias Brown to mend his ways or...

00:16:56Well, to mend his ways.

00:16:57I second the motion.

00:16:59All those in favor?

00:17:01The ayes have it.

00:17:02Hold your horses.

00:17:03I'm again that.

00:17:05Well, thank you, Clyde.

00:17:06But unfortunately, your opinion isn't worth anything here

00:17:08because you're not a Selectman.

00:17:10Meeting adjourned.

00:17:12Adjourned.

00:17:13He'll kill me.

00:17:14He'll set his dogs on me.

00:17:15Ain't no telling what he'll do.

00:17:17I'm not going to do it.

00:17:18He might draw a knife on me.

00:17:19I'm surprised at you, Clyde.

00:17:21You don't want the whole town to know

00:17:23that you're afraid of Tobias Brown, do you?

00:17:25I'm not afraid of him.

00:17:28Anyway, how's the whole town to know, even if I was?

00:17:31You wouldn't want to read it in Doyle McGee's paper, would you?

00:17:35Listen, if Doyle McGee's so much as one line, I'll...

00:17:40Glad you're here, Doyle.

00:17:41Herb and me just accepted Clyde's offer

00:17:43to put Tobias Brown in his place.

00:17:45As the other Selectman, you can make it unanimous.

00:17:48I didn't offer no such a thing, Doyle.

00:17:50I just said that they ought to...

00:17:52I say again.

00:17:53I didn't offer no such a thing, Doyle.

00:17:56I just said that they...

00:17:57I approve of that action, finest.

00:18:00I think Clyde's offer should be publicized.

00:18:02Shows a fine civic spirit.

00:18:06But what's to be gained by getting Clyde all stove up by Tobias Brown?

00:18:10Might be hard for you to bake with a lot of broken arms and legs.

00:18:18Oh, y'all is just joking.

00:18:23Y'all are just a bunch of jokers.

00:18:26It's the last time I'll come in this place.

00:18:28You'll have to make one more trip to pay for your coffee.

00:18:36Easy.

00:18:51Hey, Pa, Ma wants you.

00:18:52Can I have a hamburger?

00:18:54No, you may not.

00:18:56Aw, gee.

00:19:02I'm sorry, finest.

00:19:04Ain't no matter, Willie.

00:19:05He does it all the time.

00:19:07Seems to me the whole town would be better off if you dusted him out once in a while.

00:19:12After all, you're his father and the principal of his school.

00:19:14What more excuse do you want?

00:19:16Yes, I really must do something about the boy.

00:19:19And I'd better see what his mother wants.

00:19:21Here, let me get this.

00:19:22I'll pay for yours, too, Reverend.

00:19:23Oh, thank you.

00:19:24Thank you, Brother Davis.

00:19:25Thank you, finest.

00:19:27Good day, finest.

00:19:28Bye.

00:19:30Bye, finest.

00:19:31Thank you.

00:19:32Bye, finest.

00:19:33Thanks.

00:19:36Watch that door!

00:19:43Bye!

00:19:52Bye!

00:20:01Barn?

00:20:04This is Finest Dory, Delphi's sole restaurateur.

00:20:09Pay no attention to him, kid.

00:20:10He likes them big words.

00:20:11What's your name?

00:20:12Barn Turner, sir.

00:20:14How about giving Barn one of your bigger and better hamburgers, finest?

00:20:18I'll have a cup of coffee.

00:20:19We got some mighty fine chili.

00:20:22Give him a hamburger.

00:20:26New recipe.

00:20:28You're taking advantage of a stranger, finest.

00:20:31Hamburger.

00:20:33I like chili, sir.

00:20:36All right, Barn.

00:20:37You brought it on yourself.

00:20:39Give him a bowl of chili.

00:20:41Get some of those Havana's you like in the case, Doyle.

00:20:43Bribery, huh?

00:20:49There you are, son.

00:21:04Let me have that before you kill yourself.

00:21:11Help yourself.

00:21:13Thanks.

00:21:14Mighty fine cigars.

00:21:16I wish you'd get rid of that sign, finest.

00:21:18Makes me thirsty every time I see it.

00:21:21Well, if your newspaper had done something,

00:21:23when Miss Anna Love Price organized the town women in that dry crusade,

00:21:28I'd still be selling beer.

00:21:31Public opinion, finest.

00:21:32A good newspaper man never fights public opinion.

00:21:36Well, a good newspaper man will have to drink coffee and like it.

00:21:46Well, who's the boy?

00:21:48Oh, just a kid trying to get to Florida on less than a dollar.

00:21:51Where is he from?

00:21:52I don't know.

00:21:54I'd say there was an orphan asylum in his background from that shirt.

00:21:59What are you going to do with him?

00:22:01I don't know that either.

00:22:03But I can see he leaves here with nearly five dollars instead of just one.

00:22:09That's why you're such an easy mark for these kids.

00:22:12Oh, this one's different, finest.

00:22:14I get kind of a hunch about him.

00:22:16Aren't you?

00:22:18I bet he'll leave town as soon as he finishes that chili.

00:22:21Oh, finest.

00:22:30Unless we can get him some kind of a job,

00:22:33there ought to be something he can do around here.

00:22:37I can use him at the shop.

00:22:39But I appreciate the thought.

00:22:41You're a gentleman and a scholar.

00:22:43Please, don't insult me.

00:22:45Well, I'm not one of those things you told the kid I was, a restaurateur.

00:22:49I am an ex-saloon keeper running a chili parlor.

00:22:52That's what you think.

00:22:56Doyle?

00:22:58Finest?

00:23:11Are you a grieving boy?

00:23:14No, sir.

00:23:15I'm very happy.

00:23:22Bowl of chili, Fred?

00:23:25You know better than I do.

00:23:26Cup of coffee.

00:23:30Doyle, when are you going to get that horse of yours shot?

00:23:34Well, I don't see any reason for adding steel to that kick of his.

00:23:37You own a horse, Mr. McKee?

00:23:40In a manner of speaking, he does.

00:23:41How about some more chili?

00:23:43No, thank you, sir.

00:23:44It was very good.

00:23:46Second one's always on the house.

00:23:53What the...

00:24:08This is a very polite lad you've got here, McKee.

00:24:13Could I have a glass of water, please, sir?

00:24:15You certainly can.

00:24:18Your horse ran away again, Mr. McKee.

00:24:21I'll caught him.

00:24:23Come on, Wyatt.

00:24:37Oh, easy, Wester.

00:24:44Easy, Wester.

00:24:45I've had all I can take of this, McKee.

00:24:48Look at that barn door of mine.

00:24:50Now, you get your horse out of here right now.

00:24:53All right, I'll let him go.

00:24:54Right where he is.

00:24:56That horse ain't going to be no responsibility of ours no more.

00:25:00Easy, boy.

00:25:01From now on, it's going to be up to Mr. McKee.

00:25:05So get him out of here, Doyle.

00:25:09Henry, I can't take him out of here.

00:25:10You've got the only livery barn in town.

00:25:12That's your hard luck.

00:25:14Get him out of here.

00:25:15Go on.

00:25:16Take him back to Tobias Brown.

00:25:18I think I could lead him out all right, Mr. McKee.

00:25:22All right, Barn.

00:25:24All right with me.

00:25:26Get him out of here.

00:25:27Look at that barn.

00:25:29Shoot, Dad Bubbit.

00:25:35You, uh, you sure about this, huh, Barn?

00:25:37Yes, sir.

00:25:38Okay.

00:25:43Come on, boy.

00:26:03Well, McKee, what brings you out here?

00:26:08Twister!

00:26:10Twister!

00:26:11Watch out, Barn.

00:26:12Twister!

00:26:25Delivering your own papers now?

00:26:28It hasn't come to that yet, Tobias.

00:26:31It may, though.

00:26:32Well, you've never been much for friendly visits.

00:26:33You must have something on your mind.

00:26:35What is it?

00:26:36I always thought you Missourians beat around the bush a little bit in the horse trade.

00:26:41Oh.

00:26:42Well, if it's Twister you're talking about, the deal's been made.

00:26:44You got the horse and I got my receipt for the printing bill, and that's all there is to it.

00:26:49Not quite, Tobias.

00:26:51I accepted Twister in payment of that bill, because you said he was a good horse.

00:26:55That may have been what I said, McKee.

00:26:57But you'll find that the paper that I signed

00:26:59guarantees Twister to be a registered standard bred, sound in wind and limb, and that is all.

00:27:11Shut up.

00:27:17Still looks sound to me.

00:27:20What you got against him, McKee?

00:27:22I'm afraid he may kill somebody, Tobias.

00:27:25He's already torn Henry Craig's livery barn down, run away a half a dozen times.

00:27:29Well, now he could kick, huh?

00:27:32I'll tell you something, McKee.

00:27:34That horse has got the finest trout in blood in Missouri.

00:27:37And if I could find me a sulky, he wouldn't kick to pieces.

00:27:40You couldn't have had him for a thousand dollars.

00:27:43The only reason you took him is you thought you could sell him for a quick profit.

00:27:47I'm not above taking a profit, Tobias.

00:27:51But I'll still consider the bill paid if you'll take him off my hand.

00:27:54I got your receipt, you got the horse.

00:27:57He's done enough damage around here already.

00:27:59Now, I don't care if you shoot him, just get him off my place.

00:28:07You pretend you're a tough man, Tobias.

00:28:09But you don't fool me.

00:28:11You're whistling in the dark, are you?

00:28:12You're just trying to say that I'm afraid of that horse?

00:28:15No, you've got physical courage enough.

00:28:18But you strut and swagger around, hoping that nobody will know that you're a lonely man.

00:28:24Not me, McKee.

00:28:25I'm too busy to be lonely.

00:28:28I've done all right for myself.

00:28:30Yes, you have.

00:28:32You've become a wealthy man.

00:28:34You've got blooded horses, fries, dairy stock.

00:28:38You're probably the largest single depositor in the Delphi Bank.

00:28:43You certainly own more rich farmland than any man around here.

00:28:48Who are you going to leave it to, Tobias?

00:28:52Simpson here?

00:29:04Come on, Byron.

00:29:06I've said enough.

00:29:08I'm glad Mr. Brown didn't take him back.

00:29:33Oh, I'm glad you're glad, Byron.

00:29:35But it kind of leaves me in a hole.

00:29:38You just got no place to keep him.

00:29:40I've got an idea, Mr. McKee.

00:29:43Well, I've always maintained that a good editor ought to be the first to encourage new ideas.

00:29:47Let's have it.

00:29:49Oh, you know that place we passed down the road?

00:29:51The empty one?

00:29:52Yeah, the old lamerel farm.

00:29:54Well, it's got a good barn.

00:29:56I could take real good care of it, of course, through there.

00:29:58Just can't move on to the place, Byron.

00:30:00It's not ours.

00:30:02Well, maybe the lamerels would let us use it.

00:30:04They don't own it anymore.

00:30:06Well, who does own it, sir?

00:30:08State, I guess.

00:30:10Probably be up for tax sale one of these days.

00:30:12Lamerel was left a long time ago.

00:30:15Couldn't we just use it for a little while?

00:30:17I'd take real good care of it.

00:30:19I thought you wanted to get to Florida.

00:30:22Oh, I do, sir.

00:30:23But I could stay for a little while.

00:30:25Till you can do something about Twister.

00:30:27All right, Byron.

00:30:29I'd just as soon pay you as anybody else.

00:30:31Let's go take a look at it.

00:30:35Oh, son of a...

00:31:00Byron, I'm just no good at this.

00:31:02You just take it easy, Mr. McGee.

00:31:03I'll fix that.

00:31:05But it's all too much for a boy.

00:31:07You need help.

00:31:09I can't even saw a true line or drive a nail straight.

00:31:13But you do an awful good job with words, sir.

00:31:16Thanks, son.

00:31:18It's probably about the nicest compliment I'll ever get.

00:31:21Hey, and talking about words,

00:31:22I better get back to the paper.

00:31:23It's makeup day.

00:31:25Oh, it's also payday.

00:31:29One, two, three, four, five, six.

00:31:35Right?

00:31:36Thank you, sir.

00:31:37I must say it's a lot more fun paying you than it was, Henry.

00:31:41Oh, I'll bring some food out for Twister after work.

00:32:06I should have warned you about turning it off.

00:32:13Fred Mueller turns it on in the morning

00:32:15and I let it run till I'm through with it.

00:32:17Can I try, sir?

00:32:18No, I don't think so, Byron.

00:32:20It's pretty rough.

00:32:21Sometimes it jumps.

00:32:22You might get hurt.

00:32:22But I know how to.

00:32:25You sure?

00:32:36Sir, if you just sit down, I think I can start it.

00:32:44All right.

00:32:59You sure this will get me to town now?

00:33:01Yes, sir.

00:33:01Just don't play around with the gas and the spark.

00:33:04Play is scarcely the word I'd use.

00:33:25Hi.

00:33:27Hello.

00:33:34Boy, I wish I could start a machine like you can.

00:33:36Where did you learn how?

00:33:39At the school where I went.

00:33:41That's a funny kind of a school.

00:33:44It must have been a reform school.

00:33:46That's the only one I know where they teach trades.

00:33:49How do you know?

00:33:50You ever go to one?

00:33:51I certainly did not.

00:33:52And you know better than that.

00:33:54Well, don't say he did then.

00:33:57I'll say anything I want to and he can't do anything about it.

00:33:59I bet he can beat you till you get the blind staggers.

00:34:02Couldn't you?

00:34:04I don't want to fight anybody.

00:34:06Well, you better not fight me.

00:34:08Hey, watch what you're doing.

00:34:10That costs money.

00:34:11I'll pay for it.

00:34:12Hey!

00:34:16You won't have to pay for that.

00:35:03Wait.

00:35:33Mr. McGee, your office said that I'd find you here.

00:35:40Now that you found me, won't you join me?

00:35:42This is not exactly a social call.

00:35:45I'm here to talk to you about that boy, Byron.

00:35:47Well, shall we go over to the office?

00:35:49This will only take a minute.

00:35:52Would you care for some coffee?

00:35:53No, thank you.

00:35:57Well, Miss Price?

00:35:59I'm very disturbed, Mr. McGee, about Byron.

00:36:03Well, in what way?

00:36:04Well, just look what he's done to Jimmy.

00:36:08I feel that he's a bad influence.

00:36:10We don't know anything about him,

00:36:11and I think he should be sent back to wherever he came from.

00:36:14Now, wait a minute, Miss Price.

00:36:16Many years ago when I came here,

00:36:18the people of Delphi didn't know where I'd come from.

00:36:20They didn't run me out of town.

00:36:23And I don't think I've been a bad influence.

00:36:25Oh, come now, Mr. McGee.

00:36:27You're one of Delphi's leading citizens.

00:36:29Thank you, Miss Price.

00:36:32I think Byron has qualities that make him a useful citizen, too.

00:36:35Then how do you explain his roughneck behavior?

00:36:38Well, I can't.

00:36:41Do you know how it started?

00:36:44Well, Red and I went out to the Lameroo farm

00:36:46to see what Byron was doing,

00:36:48and I broke some glass and Byron got mad.

00:36:51Well, I guess he had a right to.

00:36:54Sounds pretty normal to me.

00:36:57But this boy has no one responsible for him.

00:37:00That's not normal.

00:37:02No, it isn't.

00:37:04But I intend to be responsible for him.

00:37:08Very well, then.

00:37:12I only hope for your sake that you're right.

00:37:15Thank you, Miss Price.

00:37:16Come, Jimmy.

00:37:18Oh, Jimmy, you know what I'd do if I were you, Jimmy?

00:37:21What?

00:37:23I'd go on out there and ask Byron to give me a couple of boxing lessons.

00:37:28Jimmy, are you coming?

00:37:32Well, I've got to hand it to you.

00:37:35Let's have a coffee on it.

00:37:40That's right.

00:37:40Now, look.

00:37:41Now, I want you to come in under my punch.

00:37:43Right here.

00:37:43Now, see?

00:37:46No, no.

00:37:46You go right to the chin, all right?

00:37:50Oh, well, that's better.

00:37:51Oh, no.

00:37:52I'm not getting anywhere.

00:37:54I'm winded.

00:37:56Ah, your left ain't no good.

00:37:57Yeah, is that so?

00:37:59Yeah.

00:37:59Your left ain't no good.

00:38:00Yeah, is that so?

00:38:02Hey, you're picking on a littler guy.

00:38:04You better be good, Red.

00:38:05He's going to make a real boxer.

00:38:08The thing I like about you, you're not afraid to take a punch.

00:38:11No, I guess I'm not afraid to take a punch.

00:38:14You need some speeding up, though.

00:38:15We can get that on the bag.

00:38:17I guess so.

00:38:18Where are you going to get a punching bag?

00:38:20Well, I got one.

00:38:21Mr. McGee found me an old one.

00:38:23Chickers, the man!

00:38:38School's out.

00:38:39You two can go.

00:38:42Well, see you tomorrow.

00:38:43Maybe.

00:38:52I don't want all the kids in Missouri hanging out here.

00:38:55I didn't know you owned this land, sir.

00:38:57My hunt here, it's the same thing.

00:38:58Too many kids hanging around, spooks the birds.

00:39:00Keep them out of here.

00:39:02Does that mean I can stay, sir?

00:39:04Well, as long as you behave yourself and don't get in my way.

00:39:08Say, um...

00:39:10I seen you working that horse out on the jip rope the other day.

00:39:14Now, where'd a wandering boy like you ever learn that?

00:39:17I snuck under the fence and watched you work your horse, sir.

00:39:21Glad you couldn't have had a better teacher.

00:39:23I guess I know more about trotting horses than anybody in Missouri.

00:39:28You got a head on you.

00:39:29Did you ever think of taking up farming?

00:39:31Oh, yes, sir. I'd like that.

00:39:33I'll make you an offer.

00:39:34You come over to my place Monday after next and I'll teach you how to plow.

00:39:37The right way.

00:39:38And when you've learned, you'll plant your own crop.

00:39:42I'll be there bright and early.

00:39:43The earlier, the better.

00:39:45Remember, a good farmer works from caint to caint.

00:39:47What's that, sir?

00:39:48When he can't see in the morning, he can't see at night.

00:39:52All right, now you watch me.

00:40:07Now, get.

00:40:14Get up.

00:40:22I'll take care of them mules.

00:40:47We'll finish this field tomorrow, if you can make it.

00:40:51Yes, sir.

00:40:53I'm all right.

00:40:55Just a little tired.

00:40:57Plowing's a man's job.

00:40:59You get here earlier, I'll do it myself.

00:41:01Yes, sir.

00:41:16Hello, Mr. McGee.

00:41:34I didn't expect to see you here.

00:41:36I had a hunch it would work out something like this.

00:41:40Let me see those hands.

00:41:46Boy, you should have stopped before those blisters broke.

00:41:50All right, come on over here and stick your head under the pump.

00:41:57All right, now your hands.

00:42:13How old are you, Byron?

00:42:17Sixteen, sir.

00:42:21You sure it's sixteen?

00:42:24Well, nearly sixteen, sir.

00:42:29You still think it was a good idea to plow for Tobias?

00:42:33Like I said, sir, it's only until I can plow his fields to get my own crop in.

00:42:38But why, Byron?

00:42:40What do you want to be, a plowman?

00:42:43That's only part of it, sir.

00:42:45I want to be a farmer, awful bad.

00:42:48Hard work, son.

00:42:50Bad years can be the most heartbreaking work in the world.

00:42:54Yes, but if you're a good farmer like Mr. Brown, it can be the best thing in the world.

00:43:03I want to be somebody, Mr. McGee.

00:43:05Make a place of my own.

00:43:08I don't want to have to ask anybody for anything.

00:43:11For food, place to sleep, anything.

00:43:15Farming's the only way I can get it.

00:43:24Well, I don't know how old you are, Byron.

00:43:27I'll gamble it's not sixteen.

00:43:30But you're certainly thinking like a man.

00:43:42I've done a lot of things.

00:43:45But I was forty years old before I realized I couldn't be happy unless I was my own boss.

00:43:54How you've come to that at your age beats me.

00:43:58But if farming's what you want, so help me, Hannah, I'll see that you get it.

00:44:14You better get to bed, son, before you drown in that stew.

00:44:19Good night.

00:44:32You ain't getting anywhere. Here, let me show you.

00:44:37Want to try to out-bowl a plow?

00:44:40Make the weight work for you.

00:44:45Use your brains, not your back.

00:44:48Yes, sir.

00:44:55You've done a fair amount of the job, boy.

00:44:58Not bad at all.

00:45:01Well, you can go now.

00:45:03But, sir, I was planning to take the rig over to my place.

00:45:07I was figuring to feed there tonight and start my plowing in the morning.

00:45:10Well, that's the way you figured it, huh?

00:45:12Well, I didn't feed these mules all winter just so you could use them.

00:45:15But you promised me, Mr. Brown. You said I could make my own crop.

00:45:18Well, I ain't stopping you. Go make your own crop, but you ain't gonna use my gear.

00:45:21Now, go on with it. I don't want you loitering on my property.

00:45:23You made a deal with me, Mr. Brown.

00:45:24Sure I made a deal with you. I told you I'd learn you to plow.

00:45:26I've learned you. You plow real good.

00:45:29Now, the next time you make a deal with somebody, be sure you get it in writing.

00:45:31Then you know where you stand.

00:45:33Here, get up.

00:45:42Come on, order, order. A little order here.

00:45:53I don't see why I can't have another cup of coffee.

00:45:56Because I ain't serving nothing during this committee meeting.

00:45:59Now, let's get on with it. Let's get to the main business of this meeting.

00:46:02Good idea.

00:46:03Now, we all feel it's gonna be a good crop year.

00:46:07And folks will want a bang-up celebration this 4th of July.

00:46:11We always have a bang-up time.

00:46:14Hear, hear.

00:46:16Fred, you'll handle the music like always.

00:46:19Me and the boys have been limbering up over in the schoolhouse.

00:46:23We'll be there with bails on.

00:46:25We work very good, too.

00:46:27Oh, they sound fine.

00:46:28Herb, you'll be the decorating committee. Lots of bunting.

00:46:32We'll want lots of bunting this year.

00:46:34I got a hold of some badges I thought you'd all like to see.

00:46:37And some rosettes. Big ones. Beautiful.

00:46:41Rosettes? Well, you had them on the speaker's table last year.

00:46:45And they looked like old Ned.

00:46:47And those black ones made everybody think that you was trying to drum up trade for your undertaking business.

00:46:52Those black rosettes were for George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

00:46:56Well, they've been dead quite a spell.

00:46:58Let's keep it all red, white, and blue this year.

00:47:01Hear, hear.

00:47:02And with the committee's approval, we'll have a big celebration.

00:47:05And with the committee's approval, I will read my 4th of July oration.

00:47:10You've recited it every 4th of July since I can remember.

00:47:14How come you're going to read it this year?

00:47:16Reading is a theatrical term for reciting.

00:47:19A little more worldly knowledge wouldn't do you any harm, Mr. Hamilton.

00:47:23Hear, hear.

00:47:24If you're so all-far smart, Mr. Poole, why don't you just forget it this year?

00:47:28Nobody ever listens to it anyway.

00:47:30Well, now, just a minute. What do you mean?

00:47:32I'll go along with that.

00:47:34It's the truth!

00:47:35You must have a speech on the 4th of July.

00:47:40I've been giving the same argument.

00:47:42You just can't stand the truth.

00:47:43That's the trouble with you.

00:47:44Order!

00:47:45Quiet!

00:47:48I'm sorry, Herb.

00:47:49Quiet!

00:47:52Quiet, please!

00:47:53Shut up!

00:48:00We've got to be democratic about this thing.

00:48:03Willie Poole is going to make his speech or there won't be any 4th of July at all.

00:48:09Hear, hear.

00:48:10Henry, if you'd quit hearing so much and would listen a little more,

00:48:14we could get done with this meeting.

00:48:16Now, is there any other business to come before the committee?

00:48:19Yes, there is.

00:48:21I think we ought to wind up the parade with my wife, Mrs. Hamilton, playing the calio.

00:48:28The word is calliope, Clyde.

00:48:30And that wheezy old thing nearly ruined the parade last year.

00:48:33I don't see why Fred Mueller ever bought it.

00:48:36Didn't exactly buy it, Willie.

00:48:39Took it down on a shoe and bail when that circus went broke here three years ago.

00:48:44To write good steam calliope, too, except one of the valves won't work on it.

00:48:49One valve don't make no difference.

00:48:51Nelty can play around, Ed.

00:48:53That's what I say.

00:48:55All right, Mrs. Hamilton plays the steam organ.

00:49:00Them with skittish horses take warning.

00:49:03Do I hear a motion to adjourn?

00:49:05Move we adjourn.

00:49:08Hear, hear.

00:49:09That ain't parliamentary.

00:49:12Second it.

00:49:13It's been moved and seconded.

00:49:15We adjourn.

00:49:15All those in favor, signify in the usual manner.

00:49:18Aye.

00:49:24Coffee indulgence for everybody.

00:49:26Don't pour no coffee for me now, because I won't drink it.

00:49:34How are you, son?

00:49:36Fine, sir.

00:49:38Anything wrong?

00:49:39No, sir.

00:49:40I'm all right.

00:49:40I'm just a little tired, that's all.

00:49:43The way you've been going at it, anybody'd be tired.

00:49:46You better take a few days off before you start putting in your own crops.

00:49:50I won't be putting in a crop of my own, sir.

00:49:54That so?

00:49:56Yeah.

00:50:00I think I forgot to check the fire under the lead pot.

00:50:03Could burn the whole town down.

00:50:05You want to walk over to the office while I check it?

00:50:08Yes, sir.

00:50:09Okay.

00:50:13You leaving, Doyle?

00:50:14Just a few minutes, Juarez.

00:50:15I'll be right back.

00:50:26Oh, don't touch it.

00:50:36Don't stop it.

00:50:37Take it easy.

00:50:38I can run one of these things.

00:50:56Well, quite a delegation you got here.

00:51:03Gonna ask me to run for Congress?

00:51:05I don't know.

00:51:06We...

00:51:07Well, speak up, little man.

00:51:09Speak up.

00:51:09I don't bite school teachers this early in the morning.

00:51:12Leaves a bad taste in my mouth all day.

00:51:14We're here as the Delphi Board of Education, Tobias.

00:51:18Mr. Poole, our chairman, wants...

00:51:19I got all the education I can use.

00:51:22Willie Poole here can't teach me a thing.

00:51:24Uh, well, it isn't that, Mr. Brown.

00:51:27It's just the other way around.

00:51:28The reverse of the coin, so to speak.

00:51:31We understand that you have been giving plowing lessons.

00:51:34Well?

00:51:37That's exactly why we're here.

00:51:39In accordance with the laws of this state,

00:51:41it's our duty to ascertain that the pupil has been properly instructed.

00:51:47You plowed that field over there?

00:51:48Take a look for yourself.

00:51:54Oh, no, no.

00:51:55That won't do, Mr. Brown.

00:51:57That won't do at all.

00:51:58We actually have to see the boy plow

00:52:00and observe your methods of instruction

00:52:02to see if you're qualified.

00:52:03Well, that's a bunch of...

00:52:04Oh, no, it isn't, Mr. Brown.

00:52:06The law is very precise on this point.

00:52:09Isn't it, gentlemen?

00:52:11Definitely.

00:52:14Since all your fields seem to be plowed, Tobias, we'll, uh...

00:52:18We'll have to ask you to bring your mules and plow

00:52:20over to the Lamaril.

00:52:22I don't have the time.

00:52:25Oh, but you must, Mr. Brown.

00:52:27This is tantamount to an examination.

00:52:30It must be conducted legally.

00:52:32Uh, hitch up.

00:52:32What?

00:52:34If you please.

00:52:35Oh, no, no, no, not yet.

00:52:37Oh, dear, no.

00:52:38It's not nearly over.

00:52:39If you please.

00:52:52Oh no, oh no, not yet. Oh dear no, it's not nearly over.

00:53:09Have you reached a decision, Mr. Poole?

00:53:30I'm unable to give my opinion at the moment, Mr. McGee, but it does appear that Byron needs further instruction.

00:53:37Oh, we're not prepared to state that you are entirely at fault, Mr. Brown, but we must have more furrows.

00:53:45Please. Now watch this closely, Byron.

00:53:49There'll be no more furrows you expect me to plow on.

00:53:51You folks want to laugh at somebody who can laugh at each other.

00:53:55Just a minute, Tobias.

00:53:57If you defy the Board of Education, we'll have to report it to Judge Wheeler.

00:54:01You know him. He's death in any violation of the school laws.

00:54:05You wouldn't want to get mixed up with anything like that, would you?

00:54:10There's the plow and the mules. That's what you set out to get for him, isn't it?

00:54:16You bring him back when you're through.

00:54:19You learn fast now. There's still a few things I can teach you.

00:54:27Well, we did it. We did it.

00:54:30But I got a hunch he's going to be harder to get along with than ever now.

00:54:34No worse than he ever was.

00:54:59You stay out there, boy.

00:55:17Now how am I going to do my work with you tromping around?

00:55:19You go on out there and let me do it, huh?

00:55:29You keep a clean place, I'll say that for you.

00:55:32Oh, Mr. Brown, you scared me.

00:55:35You're doing all right here.

00:55:38Nice house to live in, good barn, crop in the ground.

00:55:42It hasn't cost you a cent.

00:55:45I'd say that's pretty good for a reform school kid.

00:55:49I'm no reform school kid, sir.

00:55:50I don't care what you were. You're on your own now.

00:55:53And you're going to pay your own way, too.

00:55:54This here is a deed, a deed to this farm. I own it.

00:55:59You want to stay on here?

00:56:01Yes, sir.

00:56:03And you pay rent?

00:56:05No, sir. I'm afraid I can't.

00:56:07Well, then it looks like I'll have to take that crop as payment.

00:56:10The whole crop, sir?

00:56:11You don't have a share crop agreement with me in Wrighton, do you?

00:56:14No, sir.

00:56:16Then the whole crop.

00:56:19Look, I've told you to set up all your deals in Wrighton.

00:56:21When it comes to money, time and labor, never take a man's word for it.

00:56:23Make him sign.

00:56:25Yes, sir.

00:56:27Could you give me a paper saying that I can stay here for my crop?

00:56:30That's better.

00:56:32I'll have one drawn up.

00:56:34Oh, yeah, and the first thing you're going to have to do is to get rid of that horse.

00:56:37But I can't, sir. He's Mr. McGee's horse.

00:56:39That's just why I don't want him on my land.

00:56:41But Mr. McGee has no other place to keep him.

00:56:43That's McGee's problem. Now, turn him out.

00:56:45No, sir. Please wait until...

00:56:46I never wait.

00:56:48All right, you can go.

00:56:50All right, you...

00:56:55Don't you get smart with me.

00:56:58Twister, don't, Twister!

00:57:03Twister!

00:57:15Please don't hurt him, Mr. Brown!

00:57:19Twister!

00:57:50Get McGee out here, fast.

00:58:11Looks like a concussion.

00:58:14Bad?

00:58:16I don't know, Finus.

00:58:17Do you know how it happened, Tobias?

00:58:19Maybe the horse kicked him.

00:58:22It doesn't look like a kick wound to me.

00:58:24Me neither.

00:58:27Maybe you think I did it.

00:58:29They didn't say that, Tobias.

00:58:31They think so?

00:58:33I guess they do.

00:58:35After all, you were the only one with the boy.

00:58:37You and the horse.

00:58:39How bad is he?

00:58:41We won't know till the doctor gets here.

00:58:42I wish I knew how it did happen.

00:58:45Maybe you will, someday.

00:58:51Hold on, Tobias.

00:58:53Something on your mind, friend?

00:59:02I reckon it can wait.

00:59:04I thought so.

00:59:06I think he's going to be all right,

00:59:08but we won't know till Doc Barker gets here.

00:59:10How did it happen?

00:59:11Did Tobias beat him?

00:59:13Of course he beat him.

00:59:14That's the last straw.

00:59:15The minute I heard the news, I said Tobias Brown did it.

00:59:17You keep getting it written all over me as you stood there.

00:59:19Only in the case of the horse.

00:59:21I don't know.

00:59:22I don't know.

00:59:23I don't know.

00:59:24I don't know.

00:59:25I don't know.

00:59:26I don't know.

00:59:27I don't know.

00:59:28I don't know.

00:59:29I don't know.

00:59:30I don't know.

00:59:31I don't know.

00:59:32I don't know.

00:59:33Now I got it all written all over me as you stood there.

00:59:35Bullion the kid has gone too far.

00:59:36He threatened the kid the day of the Plowing.

00:59:38You all heard him.

00:59:39Yeah.

00:59:40Now do something about it.

00:59:41There you go with your dazed again, Clyde.

00:59:42We ought to do something about it.

00:59:43That's what I told you.

00:59:44Wait a minute.

00:59:45Wait a minute.

00:59:47You're all going half cocked to act like a lynch mob.

00:59:48We don't neither.

00:59:49All we want is a fair shake for the boy.

00:59:51That's right.

00:59:52Tobias can't woop kids around here

00:59:53and get away with it.

00:59:55Hear him.

00:59:56They ought to form a posse

00:59:58and drag him off to jail.

00:59:59What are you going to charge him?

01:00:03Nonsense Clyde look you haven't got one single witness against him

01:00:06you're condemning a man and what two excited boys think they saw it's not

01:00:10gonna hold now you wait a minute Doyle we came out here because we like this

01:00:14kid and we think Tobias Brown beat him and I think we ought to drag Tobias up

01:00:20to Sheriff Peavey and Kenneth if it takes every man in Delphi to do I know I

01:00:26can't stop all of you but I can sure make one or two of you know that I tried

01:00:33all right finest whose side are you on the kids are Browns yeah Browns right

01:00:40now you've been a friend of mine for a long time Doyle but I can't hold with

01:00:46you and you won't be Barnes calling for you

01:00:53don't let them do anything to mr. Brown he couldn't help it it was an accident

01:01:00didn't even know I was behind him all right fine us if you want to drag

01:01:08Tobias up to Kenneth now I won't try to stop you any of you I guess if we had

01:01:18any sense we had all go home and let the lad get some sleep

01:01:30how is bar mr. Daugherty oh a lot better mr. I season here duck

01:01:42every one of us in this room should be heartily ashamed why what's the matter

01:02:00miss price what just look at this place to think we've allowed this boy to live

01:02:07like this it's clean so as a rain-washed rock but it isn't a home I'm sure every

01:02:15one of us has something that would help to make this a more decent place in

01:02:19which to live I've got some nice dimity curtains I'm not using and there's a

01:02:24good Brussels carpet stored in our barn and I'll have Clyde bring out our old

01:02:28cook stove yeah and I have a number of things if you ladies will meet at my

01:02:33house tomorrow afternoon we can organize last time she organized we

01:02:37lost our beer if we could rely on the use of your truck mr. Neely it's

01:02:44possible just possible I don't forget ladies tomorrow afternoon at my house

01:02:51are you plumb surprised a lot of folks here tonight miss price who'd ever

01:02:55thought you'd go traipsing all over the county trying to find a doctor for a

01:03:00poor sick boy your granddaddy'd be mighty proud of you so are we

01:03:07and now I think I'd like to go see barn

01:03:12Oh

01:03:28Doyle's probably inside Tom I'm doctoring a horse

01:03:42you never learn that no newspaper office what do you want oh I come to

01:04:05dr. the horse I didn't have my medicine with me yesterday how's the boy you'll

01:04:11be up and around tomorrow well I better get to work

01:04:42boy that's fine you'll be ready to have another go at Tobias Brown in a couple

01:04:52of days fine horse that fine horse you you didn't learn all that in the chili

01:05:08parlor either I didn't ask you where you learned to handle that bag like a

01:05:13professional you have got no cause to pry into how I learned about horses

01:05:17might interest the good people of Delphi if they really knew about both of us but

01:05:22I don't see any point disillusion I can keep my mouth shut if you can keep your

01:05:29shot keep my mouth shut it's not my long suit but under the circumstances you've

01:05:36got a deal no talk no talk

01:05:46Oh miss price mr. McGee mr. Daugherty how do you like Byron's house now well

01:05:54it's real elegant rich price I must say it really looks like a home now how is

01:06:00Twister oh he's just fine he's a good horse miss

01:06:03price I'm so glad you think so that's what I want to talk to you about

01:06:21as a former horse trainer mr. Daugherty

01:06:28perhaps I should explain that during our dry campaign here in Delphi the WSCTU

01:06:34made quite a thorough check into your background you know you have quite a

01:06:38racing record they took quite a keen interest in you also mr. McGee because

01:06:46of your editorial stand that is I was quite surprised to learn that you used

01:06:50to be a boxer you won't say nothing I won't I'm afraid the cat's out of the

01:06:58bag fun what I really want to know is do you think Twister is worth training to

01:07:04race well I don't know miss price I don't know as I can say he's well-bred I

01:07:13know he is but there are more problems to training a horse than you probably

01:07:18know about I think Twister can be trained well I am out of the business

01:07:26miss price I I've gone straight besides I don't have anything to train them with

01:07:35will you gentlemen please come with me

01:07:48I think you'll find everything you need here where did you get it it's my gift

01:08:04to borrow now do you think Twister can be trained I wouldn't be surprised if he

01:08:11could well enough to beat Tobias Brown yes ma'am well enough to beat Tobias

01:09:11you brought him out of it

01:09:40he's lost that Gant look this horse is coming on thank you sir too bad you got

01:09:50to get rid of them this is a legal dispossessed notice gives you 30 days to

01:09:56quit my property but we had a deal mr. Brown my crops for the rent you were

01:10:01going to give me a paper saying so but you never got that paper did you you

01:10:05just forgot about it I warned you I told you to get all your deals and right and

01:10:09a man's got to do that if he ever wants to mount anything I guess I did forget

01:10:13sir but you gave me your word that's just a point boy never take any man's

01:10:18word in a business deal fortunes are lost that way you had that paper I

01:10:24couldn't make you get off my property but you see I need that house for the

01:10:27hired hands at harvest time now this is the first of July I want you off my

01:10:32property the 31st

01:11:02you

01:11:32you

01:11:35you

01:11:57good boy

01:12:04you

01:12:34you

01:12:36you

01:12:38you

01:12:40I want to talk to you I didn't want to see you sir oh I knew that when I found

01:13:09your note I can understand your willingness to leave me but I didn't

01:13:14think you'd leave twister I didn't want to sir but I've gotta go

01:13:21Byron I I've got some things I want to say

01:13:28they're personal things but well I I think they're important yes sir

01:13:41see I I ran away when I was about your age from an orphan asylum too and then I

01:13:51tried to run away from everything finally an old newspaperman took me in

01:13:59he gave me a job home even gave me a name did you have a name either mr.

01:14:07McGee well I I had one but it wasn't mine so I took his the old man died

01:14:16before the adoption papers he'd applied for it cleared the red tape I'm sorry

01:14:20about that sir I've been sorry about that all my life did you run away again

01:14:28yeah all over this blessed country and all I had to do was to stop and face

01:14:35myself and I could had everything a man has a right to want home family my roots

01:14:43in the ground but it's too late now

01:14:50but it's not too late for you Byron you see when I look at you it's like it's

01:14:56like looking into one of those mirrors that Hans Christian Anderson used to

01:14:59write about you know the kind that lets you look into the past yes sir looking

01:15:05at you is like looking at me like I was when I was running I get sick at heart

01:15:13all over again because I learned the hard way by the bitter lonely hard way

01:15:19but it's no go it's just no go by you can't run away from yourself but you see

01:15:28sir it isn't exactly me that I'm running away from I've just got to get away from

01:15:33here why I'd rather not say sir all right suppose I answer my own question

01:15:45you're afraid Tobias Brown will turn you in as a runaway from the Edendale

01:15:50Orphanage and you'd rather run blindly anywhere than go back there and be Byron

01:15:55Turner Gillow again isn't that the truth of it yes sir I guess it is I just

01:16:04couldn't go back there ever but you don't have to buy it you're not an

01:16:09orphan anymore you're a part of Delphi that's fine for me sir but what becomes

01:16:13of Twister you can't take care of him you told me so maybe if we could have

01:16:19raced him things would have been different we will race him Byron you mean

01:16:27that sir I give you my solemn word on it boy now will you give the folks of

01:16:34Delphi a chance to prove that they're solidly behind you yes sir okay son now

01:16:42we're in business again I'll race you to the car

01:16:50the thing that beats me is the way this kid has got to us all if he was a

01:16:55nuppity boy why he'd have been cold-shouldered out of this town long

01:16:58ago he just goes along nice and easy like well like a good dependable man

01:17:06would as William Shakespeare said I never knew so young a body on so old a

01:17:11head or the other way around you're always a quote and somebody don't you

01:17:19never think up anything yourself well William Shakespeare was

01:17:26me and Doyle have some important business with Tobias

01:17:31the diner will be closed officially for 10 minutes

01:17:36store chamber stuff huh well I'm the public you can't put me out of a public

01:17:42place I can keep throwing you through these windows till you wore out come on

01:17:48Clyde oh that's trouble to our schools teachers don't have no backbone I'll do

01:17:55something about hey what are you doing that tax sale was ten months ago finest

01:18:08what why didn't somebody tell me

01:18:16when people sent for me I generally tell him to come see me I'm curious about you

01:18:25McGee what's on your mind with my compliments well Tobias the folks are

01:18:32planning on quite a celebration for the I'm not interested well we thought to

01:18:38bias that maybe a horse race in the afternoon would liven things up a horse

01:18:43race you know nothing elaborate say a match race between your best trotting

01:18:49horse and twister my best horse and twister I could beat that kicking idiot

01:18:54with one of my milk cows I've got a thousand dollars it says you can come

01:19:00on now McGee I don't bet that kind of money even on a sure thing well Tobias

01:19:04I'll tell you how sure a thing I think it is now you bought that Lameril farm

01:19:08for $500 on the tax sale I'll put up my thousand dollars against that farm two to

01:19:14one that's what it sounds like oh so you can give it to that reform school Brad

01:19:21my horse should break a leg or something what I do with the farm if I win is my

01:19:26business you're gonna drive Oh Byron will drive he owns the horse now where's

01:19:32the race gonna be from the speaker stand out around the lake and back thousand

01:19:39dollars a lot of money McGee you got it

01:19:45there it is you got a bet of course we'll have to get it right we kind of

01:19:56figured you'd want to make it illegal Tobias so we had her draw up this

01:19:59agreement it's okay with you I'll be the stakeholder sure all right

01:20:18thanks Tobias don't thank me I'll enjoy showing the folks at Delphi that I can

01:20:25beat them anyway they want to come at me if your judgment of horses isn't what

01:20:34I hope it is I'm gonna be running the most heavily mortgaged newspaper in

01:20:38Missouri twister a win I know he can

01:20:55ready

01:21:55I said take it off boy

01:25:39words of wisdom coming here for you today folks yes indeed it's gonna touch

01:25:44your hearts and stimulate your mind now my good friends and neighbors it gives

01:25:52me great pleasure to introduce the chairman of our Board of Education mr.

01:25:58Willie Poole you tell him Willie

01:26:15my father knew Abraham Lincoln

01:26:22my father knew Abraham Lincoln and loved him but Abraham Lincoln was only

01:26:32one of our great immortal say we want to stay here a little while I ain't gonna

01:26:39do it I can take Lincoln or leave it but if Abe could hear Willie he'd clout him

01:26:45with one of them spit labels somebody ought to listen to him well Byron I

01:26:51guess it's time we got twister ready for the race but I'd like to hear mr.

01:26:54Poole sir you're gonna hear him next year Byron he never changes it the pages

01:27:01of history are dotted with the names of our glorious leaders men like Washington

01:27:06Adams Thomas Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt and men like Whitby love who

01:27:14stands there guarding the square of Delphi with his head held proudly his

01:27:20sword at his side symbolizes everything that we hold dear here in Delphi

01:27:50don't laugh men those poor devils are dying

01:28:03howdy Sheriff PD well Jim I'll get to all of you but I want you to understand

01:28:15what you're getting into Tobias Brown is going to cover every dollar bet two to

01:28:18one now come at me one at a time I won't have some words with you oh sure

01:28:36thing Sheriff

01:28:42we got a situation here finest I know you Delphi people feel mighty strong

01:28:48about this boy and his horse and I'd like to see him win too but we got a no

01:28:53gambling law and if money changes hands in the horse race somebody's going to

01:28:58the lockup I wouldn't want to see that happen I'm opposed to it myself now then

01:29:04I'd never let it be said that Marvin Peavy was a man to circle meant the law

01:29:08but there's more in one way to stuff a goose I always say now I can't let you

01:29:16take bets but I owe you and ain't betting I don't follow you too close it's

01:29:24as easy as sleeping in church you take IOUs from them folks after the race

01:29:30collect on the IOUs then if you want to give that money to Tobias Brown or vice

01:29:36versa ain't no law against it I owe you and ain't gambling been doing it all my

01:29:42life I'm sure a blind see you sheriff it certainly makes a man feel good to

01:29:49know he's upholding the law right all right fellas put your money in your

01:29:58pocket and just sign an IOU for your bet here

01:30:03thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day thou canst

01:30:11not then be false to any man in here and it was so aptly put by that great

01:30:18naval leader of ours damn the torpedoes full speed ahead

01:30:24regulation now let Tobias set the pace he'll expect you to break on top and

01:30:54that could get you into trouble if he's in front of you at least half the way

01:30:58you can keep an eye on him

01:31:05good luck lad good luck and do we want that to happen yes

01:31:24I have just quoted you can see that $372 of school funds your tax money has

01:31:31been carelessly wasted now if that's true in three school districts sorry to

01:31:36cut you short Willie but it's time for the race if that is you haven't even let

01:31:42me finish my speech you can finish it on Labor Day

01:32:13I'm terrified for Bob I've had more comfortable moments in my life and I

01:32:19think you'll be all right anyway finest thing so you don't know

01:32:42Come on, Twister! Come on!

01:33:12Come on, Twister! Come on, boy!

01:33:42Come on! Yeah!

01:33:50Here they come!

01:33:54Hey, get out of the way!

01:33:56Come on!

01:34:10Ladies and gentlemen, the winner, Mr. Tobias Brown.

01:34:26Come on!

01:34:48Sorry, Mr. McKee. It wasn't Twister's fault. I just didn't follow the orders.

01:34:57It's all right, Byron.

01:35:02Wait, wait, wait! Don't pay him yet. There might have been a foul.

01:35:05We don't know for sure. The boy was ahead when they left here.

01:35:07There might have been a foul out there.

01:35:09By golly, I bet there was a foul.

01:35:11It looked like a foul.

01:35:15Shut up!

01:35:17What's this about a foul?

01:35:19Why don't we ask the boy?

01:35:21Byron, come here a minute.

01:35:24Were you fouled?

01:35:26It wasn't any foul, Mr. Daugherty.

01:35:30I forgot to follow your instructions.

01:35:33Satisfies me.

01:35:36You're going to be a man someday, Byron.

01:35:38You ain't one yet, but you're going to be.

01:35:41Let's go, Byron.

01:35:44Hamilton.

01:35:47For ten years you've been trying to get me to run out of town,

01:35:49tired and feathered and lynched.

01:35:51But every time I come to town, you run and hide in that flower vial of yours.

01:35:53Well, I just might have had enough of you!

01:36:05Don't you think Clyde's a little out of your class, Tobias?

01:36:09You think you're in my class, McGee?

01:36:11I think so.

01:36:21Get him!

01:36:43Oh, Mr. Daugherty, stop them! You've got to stop them.

01:36:45Stop them? I'll whip any man that tries to stop them.

01:36:47Excuse me.

01:36:52Get out of here!

01:36:56Stay away from my speed, Kelly-o!

01:37:08Stop him! Stop him, mister!

01:37:10Let him go!

01:37:12No, he's awful! Stop him!

01:37:22Stop him!

01:37:24Stop him!

01:37:55Stop him!

01:38:11Oh, this is awful!

01:38:25This is just awful!

01:38:30Tell people you'll get him and stop that fight!

01:38:34Hold on!

01:38:37Stop it, I say!

01:38:41Go on and hit him!

01:38:43Be careful!

01:38:45Hold on! Hold on!

01:38:47Get in there, will you?

01:38:50Get him, Mr. Daugherty!

01:38:56Stop it!

01:38:58Stop it!

01:39:00This won't do, men. It won't do at all.

01:39:04We've got no right in the Lord, Miss Conley.

01:39:07But that man, Mr. Daugherty,

01:39:09he's going to get it.

01:39:11He's going to get it.

01:39:13He's going to get it.

01:39:15He's going to get it.

01:39:18For that man-to-man fight,

01:39:20it's an athletic contest.

01:39:22Now, let's do this right.

01:39:24You gentlemen come up the tall.

01:39:26Three or two men fighting. Come up here.

01:39:32When I blow my whistle, you come out fighting.

01:39:36Fair fight, no favor.

01:39:47Aah!

01:39:53How could I, Sir Grandfather,

01:39:55be so ashamed of this?

01:39:59It's a disgrace.

01:40:01He could have whipped the both of them.

01:40:05Come on, Doyle. Get up.

01:40:09Come on.

01:40:17Aah!

01:40:25Aah!

01:40:37Tobias, come back here!

01:40:39I am sore!

01:40:43And I'm sore on ferotion!

01:40:48Get up, Tobias.

01:40:54I've had enough for today.

01:40:56That's fine.

01:40:59I don't think I've got another punch in me.

01:41:01Someday...

01:41:06Someday you're going to have to

01:41:08show me how that left works.

01:41:10I'll show you!

01:41:12No, wait. No, wait. Stop it.

01:41:18Ooh!

01:41:26Boy!

01:41:28Boy!

01:41:34You lost a horse race today,

01:41:36but you just about won a whole town.

01:41:38I'd give a whole lot for you

01:41:40to stand on your shoes right now.

01:41:42How do you like that?

01:41:44Well, that depends, sir.

01:41:46Make you a deal.

01:41:48You crap it, I'll take 10%.

01:41:50And when you're 18,

01:41:5218 years old, I'll sell it to you.

01:41:54If you're half the man I think you are,

01:41:56you have the money by then.

01:42:00Well?

01:42:02How's that, Byron?

01:42:04All right with you?

01:42:06All right.

01:42:08All right.

01:42:10All right.

01:42:12All right with you?

01:42:14No.

01:42:16No?

01:42:18I want it in writing.

01:42:22That's more like it.

01:42:24You'll get it in writing.

01:42:26But you'll see to that.

01:42:28Kiss her again, Tobias.

01:42:30Go ahead, Tobias.

01:42:36Go ahead and kiss her.

01:42:38She's the only one that didn't hit you.

01:42:42Go ahead and kiss her.

01:42:48Go ahead and kiss her.

01:42:54Go ahead.

01:42:56Go ahead.

01:43:02Come on, Tobias.

01:43:04Let's go to Flannis and sign that paper.

01:43:06No, wait.

01:43:08Let's all go to my house.

01:43:10You understand

01:43:12the whole town will want to see this?

01:43:14The whole town's invited.

01:43:28Remember that day

01:43:30I told you the whole town wanted you here?

01:43:32Don't you think

01:43:34they've proved it?

01:43:36They've proved it, sir.

01:43:40They've proved it.
