  Speaker 2: of a man who moved with it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I'm that man. Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal. The
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: first man they look for and the last they want
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to meet. It's a chancy job, and it makes a
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: man watchful.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: And a little lonely.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: Dillon?
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what, Chester?
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Just look at them doggone prairie dogs skittering all around everywhere,
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: scurrying down all them holes.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: What about them?
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Well, I was just wondering, did you ever give them
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: much stock?
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: No, I can't say that I have.
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: Well, they ain't good for nothing. It's not one cussed thing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: You're right about that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: But all they.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Do is increase their self and talk up the prairie
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: at them holes.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: You figuring on doing something about it, Chester? Well, yes, Mr.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Dillon.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: I thought I might just maybe write a letter to
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: the government about it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Oh? Well, you go right ahead and do that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: You think it'd do any good?
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Sure it would, Chester.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: If the government would turn it over to the nearest
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: marshal's office, then I could turn it over to you
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: right away. And you could spend your time rounding up prairies, though.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: Well, come right down to it, I ain't such a
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: hand to write letters after all. What's the matter, Mr. Dillon?
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: A buggy pulled up to the side of the road there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Well, let's see if anything's wrong, huh?
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: What in the.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: World would a lady be doing way out here all
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: by herself?
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Let's see.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Need any help, ma'am?
• 3:42
  Speaker 9: It's that rear wheel. It just seemed to get away.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: We'll have a look.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: In Wichita, they said this was a down buggy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: You come all the way from Wichita?
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: Alone?
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: Without no man?
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: Well, I hoped to meet him in Dodge City.
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: Well, but it just ain't safe for a woman to
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: go driving all over kingdom come without no man.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Ah, Chester.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, I know, but it's just plain foolish.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Chester, let's have a look at the wheel, huh? Yes, sir. Yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: let's see here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: Yeah, looky there.
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: The pin that holds the wheel on back so it's gone.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: Wonder that wheel ain't rolling way.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Across the prairie till yet. Yeah. There's not much we
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: can do about it out here. No, sure.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: That needs some first-rate blacksmithing.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Well, ma'am, looks like you're stuck here. Uh, can you
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: ride a horse?
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: Well, I've ridden a horse, certainly, but never on a
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: saddle like that.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Well, don't worry about it.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: We'll lift you up and you can sit sideways.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: We'll walk the horse then. It's not too far to dodge.
• 4:45
  Speaker 9: I'm not sure. I... I'm not accustomed to traveling with
• 4:48
  Speaker 9: gentlemen I don't know.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I'm the marshal out of Dodge City, ma'am.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: Marshal, I suppose it's all right then. My name is
• 4:56
  Speaker 9: Sarah Howell.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mrs. Howell. There's Chester Proudfoot.
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: I do, ma'am.
• 5:01
  Speaker 9: It's Miss Howell, marshal. I'm not married... yet. As a
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: matter of fact, you might be able to help me
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: about that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, how's that?
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: I'm coming to Dodge City to find my.
• 5:11
  Speaker 10: Fiancé, marshal. And maybe you can help me find him...
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: Maybe you even know him.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Well, what's his name, Miss Howell?
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: His name is Guy Porter. He's a tall man and
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: very handsome. Do you know him, Marshal?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: No, ma'am, I'm afraid I don't. Are you sure he
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: came this way?
• 5:31
  Speaker 9: He told me he was heading west. I have reason
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: to believe he may be in Dodge City.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: A lot of people come and go in Dodge, ma'am.
• 5:40
  Speaker 9: You'll help me find him. I know you will.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: A man can lose himself out here if he wants to.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 5:45
  Speaker 10: Oh, Guy isn't trying to hide from me, Marshal. He
• 5:48
  Speaker 10: said he was coming back, and I know he meant it. No,
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: I'm afraid something's happened to him.
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: I'm afraid there's trouble.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Well, if there's trouble, ma'am, I'd stand a better chance
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: of locating him for you. Now, come on. Let's get going.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: Hello there, Chester.
• 6:19
  Speaker 11: When did you get back?
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Just a little bit ago, Miss Kitty.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: And I don't mind telling you, if I don't never
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: take that ride to Park.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: City again, I won't do no bellyaching about it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: That is the one longest, driest, most no-counting piece of.
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: Did Matt come back with you?
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes, he did, Miss Kitty. He'll be in directly.
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: He's seeing to a lady down to Moss Molly's.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, I see.
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: Where'd he find the lady? Park City?
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: Well, I know that ain't exactly the way it was.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: It was more like that he found her along the way.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Curious thing.
• 6:51
  Speaker 12: Oh, come on over to the bar, Chester. I'll buy
• 6:54
  Speaker 12: you a beer to wash some of that dust down.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: Well, that is mighty friendly of you, Miss Kitty.
• 7:00
  Speaker 11: This lady you brought in.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: Oh, do you want to hear about her?
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: Chester will have a beer, Sam.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Sure, Kitty.
• 7:08
  Speaker 11: Sure do.
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Miss Kitty.
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Go on about the lady, Chester.
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: Here you are, Chester. Oh, thank you, Sam.
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: Chester, the lady?
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: Well, she come from Wichita, Miss Kitty. And she wants Mr.
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: Doone to round up a man who's supposed to be
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: out this way somewheres.
• 7:28
  Speaker 11: Well, does Matt know who he is?
• 7:30
  Speaker 7: No, he don't.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: But he wouldn't have no trouble recognizing him if he
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: seen him. Tall and toe-headed.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Followed him all the way from Wichita, she did. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: guess women folks can do that better than anybody.
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: Do what, Justice?
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Recollect what a fellow looks like.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: They can take just one look at a man's face
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: and they got it stored.
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: Away in their minds forevermore. How his cheek was set,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: the way his hair growed out. A man don't hardly
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: have a chance.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't worry about it. What do you mean?
• 8:04
  Speaker 12: An awful lot of you get away.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Hey, there's the stage going down the street, ain't it?
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: It sounded like it to me.
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, then I.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: Better get down for the mail. Thank you for the beer, Mr.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: All right, Chester.
• 8:16
  Speaker 12: See you later.
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: Yes, ma'am.
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: I'll sure be back.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: Ma'am, I'll be upstairs for a while.
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: All right, Kitty.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Kitty.
• 8:24
  Speaker 12: Huh?
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: Can I see you a minute?
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, sure, Rance.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: What's on your mind?
• 8:33
  Speaker 13: What that woman Chester was talking about.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Did he say what her name was?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: No, Rance, he didn't.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 8:43
  Speaker 13: Well, I just thought I might know her.
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: I got kinfolk in Wichita.
• 8:48
  Speaker 13: They was talking about a cousin coming out here.
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: Oh, well, I can tell you where she's staying.
• 8:54
  Speaker 12: You could go down there and find out about it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: That'd help, all right.
• 8:58
  Speaker 12: Matt took her to Moss Smalley's, the boarding house on
• 9:01
  Speaker 12: the south end of town.
• 9:02
  Speaker 13: Thanks, Kitty. I'll go down there right off.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: What's the matter with you, ranch?
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: You come pounding in here like the devil's on your tail.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 13: You better start worrying about that a little bit, Joe.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 9:31
  Speaker 13: You talked me into saying you could stay on here
• 9:34
  Speaker 13: with me, mighty nice. Claiming nobody saw you get away
• 9:36
  Speaker 13: with that Wichita money.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Well, that's right.
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: Nobody did.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Well, you should have looked back over the other shoulder.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: There's a woman asking all over town after you.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: What?
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: She's giving you a description.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: To the marshal.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Right down to that pretty white hair. And he's looking
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: for you, too. Now, you just got to get out
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: of here, Joe.
• 9:55
  Speaker 11: Now, just a minute, Rance. Are you sure you know
• 9:58
  Speaker 11: what you're talking about?
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 13: This woman's from Wichita. She's standing at a town boarding
• 10:04
  Speaker 13: house and she's.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Asking about you.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: Now, I don't want no trouble with the law.
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: Quit your bawling, Rance. There ain't gonna be no trouble.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: But is she spot?
• 10:13
  Speaker 11: She ain't gonna spot me.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: You gonna move on?
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: No. No. She is. Tonight. How do you know? I'm
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: gonna fix it, that's how. You know where this boarding
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: house is? Yeah, sure. All right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: You show me after dark.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: But I... You ain't gonna do nothing... You want her
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: to show me to the marshal?
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: Well.
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: No.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Well, then leave it to me. The End.
• 10:55
  Speaker 9: Oh, I tell you too, Miss Howell.
• 10:57
  Speaker 10: It ain't often one of my lodgers takes it in
• 10:59
  Speaker 10: mind to help out with the chores.
• 11:01
  Speaker 9: No, I'd sooner not have idle hands, Mrs. Smalley. I
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: am grateful to you. Would you care to come set
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: a spell in the parlor when we finish up? Oh,
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: that's kind of you, but I think I'll just take
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: a little stroll. You're going out walking.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Whatever for?
• 11:18
  Speaker 11: Guy, Mr.
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: Porter and I, we used to stroll. We used to
• 11:22
  Speaker 10: take lovely strolls in the summer evenings. Perhaps I might
• 11:26
  Speaker 10: even run into him. Stranger things have happened, haven't they, Mrs.
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: Smalley? Quite likely.
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: But there's always a chance in this life, Mrs.
• 11:34
  Speaker 9: Smalley. Always a chance. Well, you watch that you're back
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: before it's full dark. Dodge City ain't the safest place
• 11:42
  Speaker 9: in the world for a lady after nightfall. Oh, I
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: don't think you need to worry, Mrs. Smalley. I've never
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: been troubled that way. I'm sure no one would bother me.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 11:53
  Speaker 9: Porter used to say a man can always tell a lady.
• 11:57
  Speaker 9: I'm sure that's so, my dear.
• 11:58
  Speaker 10: But in this town, they just ain't particular if you're
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: a lady or if you're not.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Rance. Here.
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Come over here.
• 12:20
  Speaker 11: Did you find out who she is?
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Do you know where her room is? I know who
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: she is. All right, Joe.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Her name's Howell.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Come on, then.
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: Let's go.
• 12:28
  Speaker 11: Now, wait a minute.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: She ain't there.
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: Ain't there?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: You listen to me, Rance.
• 12:35
  Speaker 11: It won't do you no good to try to trick
• 12:36
  Speaker 11: me away from doing this. Now, that ain't it.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I swear it ain't.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: She went out for a walk.
• 12:42
  Speaker 11: That's what they told me.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Out for a walk? Well, why would.
• 12:49
  Speaker 9: Wait a minute.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: What's the matter? Quiet.
• 12:53
  Speaker 11: That must be her walking alone.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Now, don't you do nothing, Joe.
• 12:56
  Speaker 11: Don't you hear?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Will you be quiet?
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Now you won't be talking about me or nobody else.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, hello, Matt.
• 13:40
  Speaker 11: I was going to send somebody for you. Yeah, I
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: just heard, Doc.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: How is she?
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: Well, man, I don't know. There must be something about
• 13:48
  Speaker 11: this town.
• 13:49
  Speaker 14: I'm continually being called in to take care of somebody
• 13:52
  Speaker 14: who ought to be dead.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: But isn't. Not quite. Does she have a chance?
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: Well, any doctor in his right mind would say no.
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: She shouldn't be alive, but she is.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: She just may.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Stay that way. Any idea who did it to her?
• 14:08
  Speaker 11: I didn't have time to ask.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Could I see her?
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: Oh, no, I wouldn't recommend it.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Would it hurt her? Well, no, I guess it won't
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: hurt her, but it won't do you any good. She's delirious, Matt.
• 14:21
  Speaker 14: She just keeps mooning and calling for somebody named Guy.
• 14:26
  Speaker 14: She's not able to tell you anything. Well, I guess
• 14:33
  Speaker 14: that's the way they wanted it.
• 14:50
  Speaker 9: Here, Matt.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, thanks, Kitty.
• 14:53
  Speaker 12: It's hard to figure why anybody would do such an
• 15:02
  Speaker 12: awful thing. What could that poor woman have done to anybody?
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: I don't know, Kitty. It's pretty bad. Even for Dodge.
• 15:11
  Speaker 12: She hasn't been able.
• 15:12
  Speaker 9: To tell you anything yet, huh?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I don't suppose she will be able to, even if
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: she gets well. Hmm. It was dark, and whoever it
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: was jumped her from behind.
• 15:21
  Speaker 12: Dodge seems a strange place for a lone middle-aged woman
• 15:27
  Speaker 12: like her to come to.
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: Doesn't it, Matt?
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Especially when she said she came to find the man
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: she was engaged to.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: You think he could have done it?
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: I'm not even sure there is such a man, Kitty.
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: Well, Rance Mattson couldn't have been the one.
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: He's much too young.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Rance Mattson?
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: You know, that young farmer who lives out of town away.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, I know who he is. Well, what's he
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: got to do with this?
• 15:51
  Speaker 12: Oh, maybe nothing, but he was in there earlier asking
• 15:54
  Speaker 12: about the woman who came from Wichita.
• 15:56
  Speaker 11: Thought she might be one.
• 15:57
  Speaker 9: Of his kinfolk.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, what'd he want to know?
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: Her name, where she was staying.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Matt, do you think... I don't know, Kitty, but I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: sure gonna find out.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: I sure wasn't anxious to be out on this road
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: again so soon, Mr. Dillon.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: Seems like we ain't hardly been off it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: We could have stopped off at the matching place yesterday
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: just as easy on our way back from Park City.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: And it might have saved some trouble if we had trusted.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Come on, let's turn in here.
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: There's Ranch standing out in front there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: Madsen, I want to talk to you.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: Well, he's running, Mr.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: Dillon.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: And where are you?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Don't shoot again.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Don't shoot.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Next time, I'll be aiming for you.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Get his gun, Chester.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: Now, look, Marshal, I... I don't want no more trouble.
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Chester, keep an eye on him. I'm going up to
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: the house.
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir. There's none of them inside.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Oh! All right, come on out of there. Come on.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: There are two of us here.
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: Don't shoot anymore. I'm hit.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Then come on out. All right, Chester, let's try to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: patch him up, all right? Want him to last long
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: enough to answer a few questions.
• 17:56
  Speaker 11: All right, Matt. Come in.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I'll be as gentle about it as you can.
• 18:02
  Speaker 11: She hardly has any strength left.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, Doc. Miss Howell? Miss Howell.
• 18:15
  Speaker 12: Oh.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: It's Matt Dillon, Miss Howell. I'd like to talk to
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: you for a minute.
• 18:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, Marshal. Nice of you to come to see me.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: About the man you were looking for. Guy?
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: You found Guy?
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Well, we might have, Miss Howell.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Guy.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: I knew I'd find him.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Now, you said that he was a tall man.
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: Tall, Marshal. Draves his young tree.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: And yellow-headed.
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: He has light-colored hair, all right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 10: And it shines in the sun.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Well, uh, we found a man that looks something like that.
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: When can I see him? Where is he, Marshal?
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, now, just a minute, Miss Howell. You might not
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: be so glad to see him as you think.
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: Marshal Dillon, you mustn't talk that way. I've never had
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: a thought for any other man.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: I didn't mean that, but... But this man, he may
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: have changed some since you last saw him.
• 19:20
  Speaker 9: Oh, not Guy. He couldn't have. Besides, it was just
• 19:26
  Speaker 9: a little while ago.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I have to tell you, Miss Howell. This man is
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: wanted for robbery in Wichita.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: And he.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: He may even be the man who beat you up.
• 19:40
  Speaker 9: Oh, Marshall, don't.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but that's the way it looks.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: Guy Porter never did a dishonest thing in his life.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: Where is he?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: He, Marshal?
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Let me see him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Well, I didn't know the way it turned out if
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: you want to see him after all.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: Please, Marshal, bring him to me.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: All right, ma'am. She wants to see him, Doc. All right, ma'am.
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: Chester.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir? Bring him in. Yes, sir.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: Come along now. Mind you, step aside.
• 20:24
  Speaker 11: Take your hat off in a lady's bedroom.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Here he is, Miss Hall.
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: Guy?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Guy?
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: Come, come closer.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Go on, step up there.
• 20:45
  Speaker 9: Tall and slim.
• 20:51
  Speaker 11: But you're old. Old.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: No.
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: No, you're not, Guy.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: You're sure about that, ma'am?
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: Of course I'm sure, Marshal.
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: Why, Guy's young.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Young?
• 21:07
  Speaker 15: He's only a couple years older than I am, Marshal. Young?
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: Young?
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: You better take him out of here, Chester.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: All right, Doc.
• 21:20
  Speaker 11: Matt?
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Doc, I'm ready to leave.
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: Just a minute, Marshal, if you please.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: I don't seem to have made myself clear to you
• 21:30
  Speaker 9: about Mr.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: Porter, Marshal. Perhaps in the interest of preventing another unfortunate error.
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: You don't have to talk anymore.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I prefer to get things straight, Doctor. Guy Porter is
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: a young man, Marshal. We grew up together.
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: It's all right, Miss Howell.
• 21:49
  Speaker 10: No.
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: No, it certainly is not all right. You clearly don't understand.
• 21:54
  Speaker 10: Bringing in that middle-aged man in those rough clothes.
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: A guy would never let.
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: His uniform look so tacky.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: His uniform?
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: Of course, Marshal Dillon. As long as the war continues,
• 22:12
  Speaker 9: he'll be in uniform.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Matt.
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: Even though his regiment was ordered into the western wilderness,
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: he'd never.
• 22:20
  Speaker 9: Let himself look like that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: You'd better leave, Matt. I'll give her something.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Doc, you do that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 9: They ordered him west.
• 22:28
  Speaker 15: And I waited... And waited. And finally I came to
• 22:34
  Speaker 15: find him. It was all right for me to come,
• 22:40
  Speaker 15: wasn't it, Marshal?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: It was all right, ma'am.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: You won't make a mistake and bring me the wrong
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: man again, will you, Marshal?
• 22:53
  Speaker 9: Just God.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: No, ma'am, I.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: I won't bring you the wrong man again.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: Well, by Jing, I tell you for sure, Mr.
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: Dillon, I'm glad they sent a deputy to take that
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: outlaw back to Wichita on the stage.
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: I sure wasn't hankering to ride that road.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Again so soon. Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: He was an awful mean one, beating up a lady
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: like that. Is Miss Howell going to be all right, Mr. Dillon?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I guess she'll get over the beating, Chester. But Doc
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: doesn't think her mind will ever be any better.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: How could she go on like that all these years,
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: thinking that fellow was coming.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Back to her? I don't know. Memory can do funny things.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but Doc says she was carrying around a telegraph
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: the War Department sent her years ago telling.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: Her this guy Porter had been killed.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. But she didn't want to believe it. No,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: she didn't. And I guess she never will.
• 24:16
