  Speaker 6: Oh, sure.
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: But the woman, she didn't act like she wanted anybody around.

  Speaker 9: And then I heard the man yell at me from inside.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: She tried to stop me, but I went in anyway.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, we better.
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: Well, why don't you want him to go?
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess Doc was right, Chester. Put a knife
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: in him, and now she's trying to finish him off.
• 10:48
  Speaker 10: Well, if he's got a six-gun under his blanket, why
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: don't he just shoot her?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: That would take care of him, feed him. He's getting
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: more fever every day, and he can hardly walk anyway.
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: Well, he sure can't last much longer with him staying awake,
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: trying to keep an eye on her all the time.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Chester.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I think I'm going to go in there and tell
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: him who I am and load him into a wagon tonight.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: This has gone on long enough.
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: I reckon you better, Mr.
• 11:17
  Speaker 11: Dillon.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Where's your wife? She went around back, mister. Look, uh, Tebbs.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Hmm?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going to take you into Dodge tonight. You are? Oh,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: that'll be fine. Oh, except for Flory. You want to
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: tell me what's going on here? What do you mean?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not a homesteader, Tebbs.

  Speaker 3: Just got hurt a little is all. Look here, Marshal.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: You got to understand, Flory. She don't mean what she says.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: She gets all riled up over nothing.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: You know how women are.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: What are you trying to say, Ted? Well, I'm fine
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: right here. And Flory, she's a good nurse, Marshal.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: You mean you don't want to go to Dodge? Oh, sure.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: I'll be up and around in a couple of days.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Don't you worry about me. All right. I'll be back. Chester. Chester.
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: Get your hands up and turn around, Marshal.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: She's got a shotgun, Mr.
• 13:06
  Speaker 11: Dillon.
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: And I'll use it, too.
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: She was listening at the window.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: My hands are up, Flory.
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: I'm taking your gun. She got my gun, too, Mr. Dillon.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: You're making a bad mistake, Flory.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: I won't have you nor nobody else meddling where you
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: don't belong. Now get your horses and ride out of here.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: All right. But we'll be back.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: I'm going to be setting right by that door, Marshal.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: First thing I see or hear gets a load of buckshot.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: It won't be us, Flory. But we'll be close enough
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: to hear if you do shoot somebody.
• 13:47
  Speaker 10: I couldn't help it, Mr.
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: Dillon.
• 13:49
  Speaker 10: She come ooching around the side of the hut, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: I didn't even see that cussed shotgun until it was
• 13:52
  Speaker 10: too late.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, neither did I.
• 13:54
  Speaker 10: What are we going to do?
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: There's nothing we can do tonight. But tomorrow in the daylight,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: we got our rifles. We'll think up some tricks for her.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: Where are you listening to gun smoke? In your favorite
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: easy chair?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Or.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Out driving? Oh, there you are.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: In the kitchen. Say, you want to make whatever you're
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: doing more enjoyable?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Have a Chesterfield.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Enjoy Chesterfield's better.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Taste and mildness. You see, Chesterfield packs more pleasure because
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: it's more perfectly packed. A more perfectly packed cigarette gives
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: you an open, easy draw that unlocks all the better
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: taste and mildness of fine tobaccos. And Chesterfield, made by
• 15:05

• 15:10
  Speaker 2: of tobacco from one end of your Chesterfield to the other.
• 15:14

• 15:20
  Speaker 3: to the touch, to the taste.

• 15:29
  Speaker 3: By Chesterfield. Mild, yet they satisfy the most. THE END.
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: I don't see her around no more, Mr. Dillon.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: She must be inside the hut, Chester.
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: Well, I hope she don't come charging out of there
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: with that shotgun blazer.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: It would be a bad way to start the day,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: wouldn't it?
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: I can't think of none worse, especially on an empty stomach.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Now, there she is. Now, wait a minute. It's all right.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: She isn't armed.
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: Come on over here, Marshal.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Now, what's she up to? It's hard to say with
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: a woman like that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: I thought you'd be back this morning.
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, and I told you we wouldn't. We're going to
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: take your husband into Dodge, ma'am.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: You're too late, Marshal. Too late?
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: He died during the night.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: What? It was too much for his heart.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: He always did have a weak heart.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Where is he, Flory? Lying there inside, Marshal.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Don't you believe me?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: I believe you, but I want to have a look
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: at him.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: What for?
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: I got him all wrapped up in his blanket, ready
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: for burying. Go dig a grave for him if you
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: want to help so much.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll dig a grave after I've seen him.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: You got no respect for the.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: Dead, Marshal?
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: It's the living that bothers me right now, Flory. I'm
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: going to have a look at.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Him now, Flory.
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: You're no better than a coyote, Marshal.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: You don't have to watch. Oh, go ahead.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: I don't care.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: I'm unbuttoning his shirt here. All right, what did you
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: use for him?
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Use?
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: For what?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I might have known he couldn't stay awake forever. He
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: fell asleep and you stabbed him in the heart with
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: a needle or something. That doesn't show much, does it?
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: All right, I'll tell you.
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: Don't matter none. Anyway, I killed him.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Why would you want to kill your husband, Clara? My husband?
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: He wasn't my husband. He killed my husband, Marshal. We
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: never seen him before. He rode by here and started trouble.
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: Over me it was.
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: My husband pulled a knife, but he shot him. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: I swore I'd kill him for it, and I did.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Why didn't you explain all this to Doc Adams when
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: he was out here?
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Out of me last night.
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: And let you take him and hang him? I had
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: to kill him myself, Marshal. It's a promise I made
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: my husband while he was dying.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to have to arrest you.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: You can't do nothing to me for this.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You murdered a man, Flory. You're wrong, Marshal. You just
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: admitted it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Well, I ain't doing no more talking. You take care
• 19:07
  Speaker 8: of him and we'll go into Dodge. But I won't
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: be in jail long.
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: You'll see.
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: Good morning, Chester.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Mr. Dillon.
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: What's got there? That's a mail. Oh, did you pick
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: it up? Yeah, I picked it up. I was down
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: there anyway. How's Flory?
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: She ain't said a word.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Go get her, will you? Go get... What for? She
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: was right, Chester. I can't keep her in jail.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: But, Mr.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: Dillon, we.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: just can't... Go get her, will you? Yes, sir.
• 19:53
  Speaker 10: All right, come on out, boy.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: You turning me loose?
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: Not me.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: Dillon did.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: About time.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Morning, Flory.
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: Not much of a jail you got, Marshal.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Well, it's not strong enough to hold you.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Of course it ain't.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Flory, the man you killed, you told me you've never
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: seen him before.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: I never had.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: What was his name? George Bassett. What else did you
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: know about him? He was wanted.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: Wanted? Dead or alive.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: He was wanted.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I got a circler on him in the mail, Chester.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: It's there on my desk. A circler?
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Well, forevermore.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: How did you know he was wanted, Flory?
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: He said so.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Now, that's hard to believe.
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: Now, he told me when he was bothering me before
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: he killed my husband. He said one more wouldn't matter.
• 21:04
  Speaker 8: I guess he planned to kill me, too, later. Only
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: he hadn't figured on getting cut up. And he needed
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: me after that.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Why didn't you tell me this out there, Flory? I
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: didn't think you'd believe me, Marshal. Well, maybe you were right.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I never heard of George Bassett before.
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: You heard of him now?
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: There's going to be some reward money coming, Flory.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: Marshal.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what? You say it. Say what, Flory?
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: Oh, please.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Oh. That you don't want the money. That you wouldn't
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: take it.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Thank you, Marshal.
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: Thank you for saying it right. I feel some cleaner
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: for that.
• 22:11
