  Speaker 6: I come along with him.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad he did.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: I mailed him letters and things at the depot, Mr.
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: Dillon.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, good, good, Chester.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I took that circular over to Mr.

  Speaker 8: Hightower.
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: He'll print some up in a couple of days.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: That's all you wanted me to do, ain't it?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's all.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Ain't nothing else you need. I mean, not right now.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, nothing else.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Everything's pretty well took care of, ain't it?
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Everything's fine, fine, Chester, yeah. Except for that buzzin' in
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: your head.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: My head?
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Come on, what is it, Chester? Just speak it right out.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Well, thing is, I run into this friend of mine
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: a few minutes ago. I ain't seen him in years.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: I knowed him a long time ago, way back in
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: the Army. You know how it is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Well, go on.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Well, see, he's stationed out at Fort Dodge.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Right here.
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: Only five miles away.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: My, just imagine that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Chester, I got an idea. Yes, sir? Look, why don't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you ride out and see your friend, huh? Now, you
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: can stay a couple of days if you want. There's
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: nothing for you to do around here.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Well, you think that'd be a good idea?
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Well, it's my idea, isn't it?
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: Yes, it sure is.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: Well, I'd better get going then. No use wasting time,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: is it?
• 3:50
  Speaker 10: Bye, Chester.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: Bye, Miss Kitty. I'll be back in a day or two, Mr.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Jones. Yeah, well, you have a good time, Chester. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: leave the door open. It's awful hot in here.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir, I will. Goodbye.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So that's why he wanted you here, huh?
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Oh, I guess he thought it might help. But he
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: forgot to mention something.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: No? What's that?
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: This dear old friend.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: Of his has got a pretty interesting job in the Army.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is that so?
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: He's a mess sergeant. A mess sergeant?
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Well, after a couple of days of that, I'll have
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: to go after Chester with a wagon.
• 4:22
  Speaker 10: You may never see him again.
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: Marshal Dillon?
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on in, son.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: I'm looking for Doc.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Well, his office is right next door.
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: I've been there. I've been everywhere.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, you need him bad?
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: I was sent to fetch him.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Somebody sick?
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: My pa told me to bring him out to our place.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Well, is it your pa who's sick?
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: He wants the doc bad, Marshal.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Who is your pa, son?
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: Ben Pitcher.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Are you Ben Pitcher's boy?
• 4:49
  Speaker 9: My name's Jerry.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jerry, your pa must be pretty sick if he's
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: sent for doc.
• 4:54
  Speaker 9: I know. He hates doctors. Don't believe in them. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: he wants doc to come, Marshal. He told me I
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: had to find him. I've looked everywhere.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, there's a back room at the Dodge house, Jerry.
• 5:04
  Speaker 10: Doc sometimes plays a little poker in there.
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: Thank you, lady. I'll go look.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: If you don't find him there, come back and I'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: help you, Jerry.
• 5:12
  Speaker 9: Thanks, Marshal.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, and Jerry.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, sir.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: If you do find him, be sure and tell him
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: that I want to see him before he leaves.
• 5:19
  Speaker 9: I'll tell him, Marshal.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: That's a surprise.
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 10: I've heard about Ben Pritchard. How he hates doctors.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: His wife's just as bad.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: I remember he got cut up in a knife fight
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: here in town sometime back and then threatened to kill
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: Doc if he got anywhere near him.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He almost bled to death as a result. You know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: there's something wrong about this, Kitty. I think I'll ride
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: out there with Doc. Good.
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: I'd sure hate to see anything happen to Doc.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so would everybody. Except Pitcher.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: How do you like riding in a buggy, Matt?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Make you feel important? Yeah, it sure does, doctor. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the way you drive, I'd feel a lot safer on
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: a horse.
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: You'll get used to it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I hope not.
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: And I don't see anybody around.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: You expect a sick man to be waiting on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: porch for you?
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: Well, I'd expect most anything of Ben Pitcher.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Well, a man can change, Doc.
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, change. Not him. Not Pitcher.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I will soon find out.
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: What are you doing here, Marshal?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I came along to keep Doc company, Mrs.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: Fitcher.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Oh.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Ma'am?
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: Where's the boy?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Jerry said to tell you he'd be along directly.
• 7:32
  Speaker 10: Why didn't he come with you?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: He said that you gave him a list of stuff
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: to buy while he was in town.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Forgot.
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: We're wasting time. Where's Ben, Mrs. Fitcher?
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: He's out back.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: He's out.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Out back?
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: In the barn.
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: In the barn.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: What's he doing in the barn?
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: You ask him, Doc.
• 7:51
  Speaker 9: I don't interfere in my husband's way of doing things.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: Is he sick or isn't he?
• 7:56
  Speaker 9: He's in the barn. You go see him. I got
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: work to do.
• 8:03
  Speaker 8: That woman could drive me crazy, man.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's what happened to Pitcher, Doc.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: Between the two of them, it's a wonder the boys
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: made out at all.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry seems okay.
• 8:16
  Speaker 8: If they have their way, they'll make a spook out
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: of them, yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You know, you're not very charitable, Doc.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, charitable. You don't fool me, Madeline. You don't like
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: them any better than I do.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I always try to look for the good side in people, Doc.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's your hogwash. Well, pretty good barn he's got here.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Look, I'll go in first.
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: You follow me. Pitcher. Hey, Pitcher.
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: I'm back here.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Come on, Doc.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: Over here in this stall.
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: I thought it was Doc.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: He's here, Pitcher.
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: What are you doing in there with that cow?
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: I thought you were sick. It ain't me that's sick.
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: Well, who is sick?
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: My cow.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: What?
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: The cow's got the colic or something. I've done everything
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: I can for her.
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: You mean you had me come all this way, way
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: out here, to Dr.
• 9:31
  Speaker 7: Cow? I wouldn't let your doctor know a human.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: I thought there was something wrong about all this.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Cows, cows, different.
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: I don't mind so much you working on a cow.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, you don't.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: Cows are different.
• 9:44
  Speaker 11: Humans can get well by themselves, but cows is helpless and.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: They're kind of pitiful. Listen to her. She's hurting bad, Doc.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I ought to kick you right in the head, Ben Pritchard.
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: Don't take it out on me that you, Doc, don't
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: know nothing. If you're so smart, do something for my cow.
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: Before she dies, Doc.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: All right. I'll look at her.
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: But you sure don't deserve it, Ben.
• 10:13
  Speaker 7: You ain't doing it for me.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You bet I'm not.
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: Now get out of the way and let me in there.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Take your time, Doc. I'm in no hurry.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: What's he doing in there all this time, Marshal?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Leave him be, Ben. He'll let us know if he
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: wants any help. How's my cow, Doc?
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I guess he's through.
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: Here's your knife, Ben.
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: Did you stick her with it?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 10:55
  Speaker 8: She's going to feel a lot better. You can give
• 10:56
  Speaker 8: her all the water she wants, but don't let her
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: eat anything for a day or two. Is she going
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: to live? I don't know.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: If she dies, I ain't going to pay you.
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't take any money from you anyway.
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: What's wrong with my money?
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: It's not your money.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It's you.
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: Who do you mean?
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: Hey, Pa, I'm back. I got all the stuff Ma wanted.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: You'd better, Rose.
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: Oh, Doc, Marshal.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Jerry.
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: Say, Doc, you missed all the excitement.
• 11:20
  Speaker 8: Oh, is that so?
• 11:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it happened just after you left. Everybody was running
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: around looking for you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: What happened, Jerry?
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: Old Mrs. Hill, she was walking down the street, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 9: I guess the sun was too much for her or something. Anyway,
• 11:31
  Speaker 9: she fainted and she fell against the window right there
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: at the general store. And it cut her arm real bad.
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: Nobody could get it to stop bleeding.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: They couldn't.
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: That's why they were looking for you, Doc. I told
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: them you'd come out here, but they wouldn't believe me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: What happened to Mrs.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Hill, Jerry?
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: She died, Doc.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: Just before I left.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: She died? Did you hear that picture? A woman died.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: What?
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: If I'd been there, I could have saved her, but.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: But she died.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Don't talk at me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: She died because of you and your rotten, twisted wings.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Ah, none of you doctors is any good. You couldn't
• 12:10
  Speaker 7: have done nothing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, no good.
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: Well, I'll show you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: No, wait a minute, Doc.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Here now.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'll show you. Nobody hits me.
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: But Pa's got a knife.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: No, picture, picture. Oh, he cut him.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Picture.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Here, Doc.
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I got you.
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: He ripped me with a knife, Matt.
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: You hurt bad?
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: Well, it's bleeding. See that? He helped me in the house.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: We can look at it there.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Doc.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: What about Paul?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: You let me know when he comes to. I'll come
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: back and knock him out again. Well, it's pretty clean now, Doc.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: Oh, well. Oh, gee, that looks better.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's still bleeding.
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: I don't care for that mess you're making on that bed, Marshal.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Go get me another pan of hot water.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: You're ordering me around my own house?
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: You do it. Matt.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Doc?
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure, but I.
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: I don't think that knife ruptured anything.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: No, that's good.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: But a couple of those veins have to be tied off,
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: and then it's got to be sewed up, you see. Oh?
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: Needles and thread in my bag. Now, I'd do it myself,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: but I can't reach it easy enough.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: You mean you want me to do it?
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you how I'll match you.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: What? You think I can't?
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's easy. Especially for a gunfighter.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: I can bleed to death this way.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I won't have any trouble, Doc. Here, you hold the
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: cloth on it, huh?
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I got it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I'll go get your bag.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: Marshal.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Get out of here, pitcher.
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: You hit me awful hard.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Did I?
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: He jumped me first. You saw him. I was protecting myself.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Pitcher, if Doc doesn't come out of this all right,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I'm going to quit being a marshal and I'm going
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to come after you as a plain man looking for revenge.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: You're threatening me.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: It's wrong of me, but I'm going to kill you, Pitcher.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Get out of here. And stay out of this house.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Go on.
• 14:58
  Speaker 9: I'm going.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: I'm going.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I'm going.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: It wasn't easy, and I felt like I had fence
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: posts for fingers. But I finally got Doc sewed up.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: He'd lost an awful lot of blood, and he passed
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: out before I finished. So all I could do was
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: sit there and watch him. And maybe that was the
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: hardest part. In the morning, however, he seemed better. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: he insisted that I take him in a Dodge. So
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I made him a bed in Pitcher's wagon and had
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Jerry drive the buggy alongside. He was in bad shape
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: by the time we reached town, but I got him
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: into his own bed and then sent for Kitty to
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: help me out. I don't know what I'd have done
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: without her for that next week.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Mac?
• 15:56

  Speaker 6: He says if we don't start cutting it with some
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: good corn, he won't drink anymore.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Then let him go thirsty. He won't hold out long.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: No public servant's gonna tell me what's good for him.
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: You send that lawman down for some whiskey.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Doc.

  Speaker 10: We sure have.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: Oh, don't you worry about me.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: I'd get out of bed right now. I like being
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: waited on.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Now, who's that?
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's a dumb question. Who's that? How do I know?

  Speaker 8: Go look.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Doc, I never thought anything could make you any ornerier
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: than you've always been, but getting stabbed did it.
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: Oh, never mind the gab.
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: Just answer the door.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Well, come on in.
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: Oh, what a man.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Come on in, I said.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, good heavens.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Well, go ahead, Doc. Fire me.
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: Doc?

  Speaker 8: Oh, there. It's Jerry. Yeah, come on in, son.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, Doc.

  Speaker 9: Marshal.

  Speaker 2: What are you doing in town, Jerry?
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: I come for Doc.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: What?
• 17:05
  Speaker 9: Paul's sick. He's about to die so sick.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, now look, Jerry.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: It's the truth, Marshal. Paul made me lie last time,
• 17:11
  Speaker 9: but he don't even know I'm here now.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: He doesn't know you're here.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: He's too sick, Doc. It's like he's out of his head.
• 17:17
  Speaker 9: He don't know nothing.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: What about your ma? Does she know you're here?
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: I didn't tell her. She'd have stopped me.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Doc?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Jerry, your pa tried to kill Doc the last time,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and he's still in bed. Now, he can't go anyplace.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Please, Doc.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Why should he risk his life for your pa? Wait
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: a minute, Matt.
• 17:32
  Speaker 8: Now, just wait a minute here, will you? I'll come, Jerry.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Now, don't be silly.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: I'm a doctor, Matt. A man's dying. Doesn't matter what man.
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: I knew you'd come. I knew you would.
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: You're crazy, Doc. You'll open that cut riding out there. Besides,
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: you're not strong enough.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You'll be taking an awful chance.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: Jerry.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: What?
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: How'd you come to town?
• 17:53
  Speaker 9: I figured you'd need it, so I brought the wagon.
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: I thought so. Well, are you going to help me out, Matt?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: All right. I'll help you out, Doc.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: The End.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I wish you'd let me carry you, Doc.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: No, no.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I'll make it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: He's awful weak, ain't he?
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he is.
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: Here, I'll get the door. Come on in. Ma's probably
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: in the bedroom. It's over this way.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: We know where it is, Jerry.
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: Oh, I forgot.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That you, Jerry?
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: It's me, Ma.
• 18:54
  Speaker 10: Where you been?
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Doc.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: What are you doing here?
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: Jerry came after me, Mrs. Pitcher.
• 19:02

• 19:05
  Speaker 8: Your husband's sick?
• 19:06
  Speaker 10: He's terrible sick.
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: But you can't do him no good.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: I can try.
• 19:10
  Speaker 9: Jerry, I'm going to whoop you.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: No, Mrs.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Pitcher. No, you're not.
• 19:13
  Speaker 9: Don't you tell me what I'm going to do.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Look at Doc, Mrs. Pitcher. He can tell he shouldn't
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: be here at all, but he came. He came to
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: help a man who tried to kill it. And nobody's
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: going to stop him. Now, come on, Doc. Get out
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: of the way, Ms.
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Pitcher.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Wait a minute.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: I'll get you a chair, Doc.
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you, man. Thank you very much. Now, here
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: you are.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: He looks pretty sick.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: Marshall!
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: You stole me, Jerry!
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Now what?
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: She's got a gun, Marshall! You told me, I said.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I got her, Jerry.
• 20:07
  Speaker 8: I'll kill you.
• 20:09
  Speaker 9: You and Doc both.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Give me that.
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: No!
• 20:11
  Speaker 7: There.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: There. Now you sit down. Go on. Jerry, you go
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: see if Doc needs any help, huh?
• 20:24
  Speaker 9: Okay, Marshal.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: You know, Miss Pitcher, you don't deserve Doc being here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: You don't deserve it at all.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: Marshall?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what?
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: I've been thinking.
• 20:53
  Speaker 9: All night I've been sitting here thinking.
• 20:56
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: I don't want my husband to die.
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: I can't have him die.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Doc's doing everything he can for him.
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: Miss Pitcher. Can he save him?
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: You think he can save him?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: Hello, Mrs. Pitcher.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: How is he, Doc?
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: Well, he's past the worst. I think he'll be there.
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: Can I see him? Can he talk?
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: Yes, but not for long. He needs a lot of
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: rest now.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Speaking of rest, Doc, you look like you could use some, too.
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: Yeah, we're going back to Dodge, man. Oh, I'll sleep

  Speaker 8: the whole way.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Good.

  Speaker 8: Maybe I helped her.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: Maybe.

  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: But what I want to say is that I ain't

• 22:20
  Speaker 8: I didn't ask you to, Fitcher.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Fitcher, Doc saved your life. Maybe he did.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: But I ain't gonna pay him.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, but why not?

  Speaker 7: Because my cow died.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: No, but... Fitcher, I'm gonna.

  Speaker 10: I can't change him.
