• 2:08
  Speaker 6: A fellow here looking for you, Mr. Dillon.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, hello.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: My name is Brandt, Marshal. I and my son got
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: a ranch up in the South Fork of the Solomon.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: What can I do for you, Mr. Brandt?
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Well, I ain't in no way responsible, you understand. It's
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: been kind of put on me, you might say.
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Huh? What has?
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Well, Marshal, the engine started it. It was riding for
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: horses just a couple of days ago. And they'd have
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: got them and probably me, too, but for this kid
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: they had along.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: A kid? Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: And he tried to come in ahead of the rest
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: of the Indians, and he showed himself too soon as
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: what happened. My son saw him in time to warn me,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: and we put up a standoff fight, and them Arapahos
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: didn't get a single horse.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Well, what's the trouble, then?
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: We got the kid. He's still there, wilder than a deer.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: He got shot in the leg a little. We brought
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: him into the house after.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: And.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: I want to know what to do with.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Him, Marshal. Well, how old's the boy, Mr. Brandt?
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: Hard to say. I bet he's 12 or under.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: That's pretty young to be on a raiding party.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it sure is. But he's awful wild. He's tried
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: to kill me twice already.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Well, then why don't you turn him over to a
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: reservation somewhere? They'll take care of him.
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: I can't do that, Marshal. They wouldn't have him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Why not?
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: Well, he ain't an Indian. He's a white boy. A
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: white boy?
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Sure acts like an Indian, though. I think he's been
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: living with them Arapahos a long time.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: That's what I think. Well, I don't know what I
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: can do about it, Mr.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: Bryant. One thing is sure, Marshal, I can't keep him
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: no more.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: And it don't seem right, you know, for a white
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: boy to go back living among them Arapahos.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: So you got to come up there with me and
• 3:54
  Speaker 7: do something about him.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Mr. Bryant, I'm the U.S.
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: Marshal.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I'm hired to keep the peace, not to play nursemaid
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to orphans.
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: You're the only man I've heard of around here that
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: I thought might help that boy.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: Well, if you want, you want. Well, just run him
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: off into the prairie, I guess.
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: All right, Mr. Bryant. We'll ride back with you in
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: the morning.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: The End.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: I don't see nobody around, Mr.
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: Brandt. No, my son will be out in the cattle
• 4:42
  Speaker 7: this family day.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I told him I locked that kid in the potato
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: cellar when he had to leave the house.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Is that it over there? That's it. He'll be in there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 7: Just open the door, Marshal.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe he'll come out. All right. Chester, grab him if
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: he runs.
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Watch out for him. He'll do anything, that kid.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Here, kid.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: Come on out.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Stand back now.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Well, look at him.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: You'd hardly know he was a white boy, Mr. Dillon.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Hello, son.
• 5:30
  Speaker 11: You've come to kill me, haven't you?
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody's going to kill you, son. We're here to help you,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: that's all. You look pretty weak to me. Is it
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that hole in your leg, or haven't they been feeding you?
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: He won't eat, Marshal. At least he wouldn't when I left.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: You been eating, kid?
• 5:46
  Speaker 11: No.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Do you know what I mean?
• 5:50
  Speaker 11: It's easier to be tortured on an empty stomach.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, now, son, nobody's going to torture you. Nobody's going
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to kill you. I'd just like to have a look
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at that leg where you got hit.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: I'm all right. Come on.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Let's go in the house and see for sure, huh?
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: No, I.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Well, he's made it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: I got him.
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: Oh, the poor little kid.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Why haven't you done anything about this bullet in his leg, Brent?
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: I tried, Marshal. He wouldn't let me near it. Tried
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: to bite me.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Well, he can't fight now. Come on, show me where
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: to put him. I carried the boy into the house,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: laid him out on a bed and went to work.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: He came to in the middle of it, but he
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: didn't move a muscle or utter a sound. The bullet
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: wasn't buried very deep. I dug it out, cleaned the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: wound as best I could. When it was over, I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: got some strong tea down him and then he went
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to sleep. A couple of hours later, I noticed he'd
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: waked up and I went over to the bed.
• 7:06
  Speaker 11: You fixed my leg.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Sure, of course I did.
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: Why?
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Well, you might have died if I hadn't. A wound
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: like that gets infected.
• 7:15
  Speaker 11: Arapahos don't care if their prisoners die.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: Well, you're not a prisoner here. Yes, I am. Look,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: what's your name anyway?
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Yorkie.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Well, is that all?
• 7:33
  Speaker 11: It's all I remember.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Is that what the Arapahos are?
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: They won't give me another name till I'm a brave.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: A Yorkie's a white man's name. Where are your parents?
• 7:46
  Speaker 11: Killed in a raid, they told me. I've been a
• 7:49
  Speaker 11: Rappahoe ever since.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: What was your father's name, do you know?
• 7:55
  Speaker 11: I was too young.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Well, then how come you remember English so well?
• 8:00
  Speaker 11: An old man of the tribe makes me talk every day.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: Where he learned, but he says it'll come to use
• 8:05
  Speaker 11: later when I'm a brave. In our wars against the
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: white man.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: You're a white man, Yorkie.
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: Yes, but I live with the Arapahos.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Well, you did, but you're back among your own people now.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You gotta learn to live a different life.
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: No.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Wait. You mean you want to go back with the Indians?
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: First, I have to make a big coup.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Make a big coup? What for?
• 8:32
  Speaker 11: I'll be killed if I don't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: I allowed myself to be seen and exposed to the
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: raiding party. So I'll be killed if I don't make
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: a coup and return with a scalp or some horses.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: You? A kid like you?
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: Unless you kill me first.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, Yorkie, if I was going to kill you, why
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: did I take that bullet out of your leg?
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: I don't know.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Well, nobody's going to kill you. Now, just get that out.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Of your head. And you're not going to kill anybody
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: either or steal any horses. So forget about it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: If I make a big coup, my mistake on the
• 9:04
  Speaker 11: raid will be forgiven. And I'll be the youngest brave
• 9:07
  Speaker 11: in the whole tribe.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll argue about that later. But what were you
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: doing on this raid in the first place?
• 9:14
  Speaker 11: A white boy must prove himself many times. It's harder
• 9:18
  Speaker 11: than for an Indian. That's why they let me come.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you've got quite a problem, haven't you? But right now,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: why don't you go back to sleep for a while, huh?
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: I'll have some soup for you when you wake up.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Well, good morning, Mr.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Bryan.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Chester. Marshal.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Your son left a few minutes ago. He said he
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be back till evening.
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and I ought to be out with him. We're all.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: through, but I'll cook you some eggs.
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, just coffee for me.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: Well, what are you going to do about that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Kid, Marshal? There's not much I can do, Brant.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: You can't leave him here.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Well, I didn't bring him here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: Here you are.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Marshal, I'm serious. Even if it was an ordinary kid,
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: I got no way to raise him. And this one
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: is bad. I told you, he's been after me twice already.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: He needs a scalp to take back. It's a matter
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: of life or death with him.
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: He ain't taking mine.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: You really think he might kill somebody, Mr. Dillon?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Left alone, yes.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: But he's so young.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I heard Billy the Kid killed a man when
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: he was 12. Age doesn't seem to matter much.
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: Well, can't you talk him out of it?
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Show him it's wrong?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I've tried, but Yorkie thinks like an Indian. He doesn't
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: know anything about the white man's world.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: How's he feeling this morning, anyway?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I'd hoped his fever would be down, but it isn't.
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: He needs a doctor, that's what.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah. By the way, Bryant, is this one of your guns?
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Where'd you get it?
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: Yorkie had it, and I went in there this morning.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: But he was too weak to use it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: I told you he's a bad one, Marshal. He'll kill
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: someone yet.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: All Yorkie understands right now is kill or be killed, Brant.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: If you've got a wagon, we'll take him in the Dodge.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: THE END.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: On the drive into Dodge, Yorkie never moved or never
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: said a word. I looked back at him from time
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to time and tried to put myself in his place.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Here was a boy whose only experience of life had
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: been with a warlike tribe of Indians, a tribe which
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: he couldn't even go back to without a white man's
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: scalp or some stolen horses. This in itself would be
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a problem for a grown man, But little Yorkie also
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: called himself a prisoner, sooner or later to be killed.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: It was no wonder that during the next few days
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: as he lay on the couch in Doc's office, he
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: watched us with wild, restless eyes.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: In spite of his obvious courage, I think he was
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a little frightened.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And when Doc was suddenly called out on a case
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: in the country for several days, I had an idea.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: And I sent Chester to find Kitty.
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: You want me to nurse him? Is that it, Matt?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Well, partly, but also I thought maybe you could talk
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: to him a little. It's hard for him to trust
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a man.
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: I know. Chester told me about him.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll be well enough pretty soon to get into trouble.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Bad trouble.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: I'll do what I can. Where is he? In the
• 13:01
  Speaker 9: front room?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, on Doc's couch. And Kitty, try to get him
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: to eat something. I haven't had much luck.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 13:09
  Speaker 9: But you stay here.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: Hello, Yorkie.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Who are you?
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: My name's Kitty. I'm going to take care of you.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: Because you're sick. Wouldn't you take care of somebody who's sick?
• 13:34
  Speaker 11: Not an enemy.
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: We're not enemies, Yorkie. Even if we were, I'd take
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: care of you.
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: Prisoners get well by themselves, or they die.
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: Not for me, they don't. Anyway, you're not a prisoner.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: You can leave any time you want to.
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: Is that the truth?
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: Of course it is. Unless you do something wrong, like
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: killing or stealing. But let's not talk about all that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: I want to know about you. All sorts of things.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: What it was like with the Arapahos, or what you
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: remember about when you were younger.
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: I won't tell any secrets.
• 14:14
  Speaker 9: I don't want to know any secrets, Yorkie. But maybe
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: you can tell me, well... Did you have a mother
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: in the tribe? Tell me about that.
• 14:25
  Speaker 11: I'm a white boy. They've never let me have a mother. Anyway,
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: I was big enough I didn't need one.
• 14:32
  Speaker 9: Do you ever want one, Yorkie? I don't know.
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: I guess so, sometimes.
• 14:38
  Speaker 9: It's better to have a mother.
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: Mine was killed in a raid when they found me.
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: I know. Do you remember her at all?
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: No.
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: No?
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: Sometimes I think I do. Sometimes when I'm asleep, that is.
• 14:56
  Speaker 9: What do you remember about her, then? I don't know.
• 15:01
  Speaker 9: Just a feeling, I guess.
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: Sort of like being warm. Is that what it's like?
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 15:09
  Speaker 9: I think that's what it's like, Yorkie. Very much like that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 11: I'm hungry, Kitty. Would you let me have something to eat?
• 15:19
  Speaker 9: Of course I will, Yorkie. Of course I will.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Kitty spent as much time with Yorkie as she could manage.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: And whenever she'd been with him, he always seemed calmer
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: and less frightened. And we began to have hopes that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: maybe the boy would take to his new life after all.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Chester and I were busy, and except for taking some
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: food up now and then, we turned Yorkie's care.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Over to Kitty completely.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: When will Doc be back, Mr.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Dillon?
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, I forgot to tell you, Chester.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: He sent word he'd have to be out there another day.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I guess Mrs. Taylor's been mighty sick.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: You think maybe Yorkie could just live with Doc?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know what to do with him, Chester.
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: We sure got to do something with him.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Where's Yorkie?
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: What?
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: He's upstairs, Kitty.
• 16:22
  Speaker 9: Have you been up there today? Have you seen him?
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: No. I thought you were with him.
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: I couldn't get here till now. York is gone, Matt.
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: What?
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: I'll go take a look.
• 16:32
  Speaker 9: I've already searched the place.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: He isn't there.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Let's look in the street, Chester. Maybe somebody's seen him.
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: You better find him.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: That's all I can say.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll find him, Kitty.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Don't worry.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: Maybe he's got hold of a gun.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I hope not.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Anyway, if he's as smart as I think he is,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: he'll locate a horse to get away on first.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe a couple of them.
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: Doggone it. Just when I was beginning to think he
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: was going to settle down a little.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: But I still got faith in that kid somehow, Chester. Now, here,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: let's cross over to Moss Grimmick's stable there, huh?
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: All right, sir. There's Moss now. He's inside there.
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: Moss. Oh, Marshal Chester.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Oh, Moss.
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I was going to come see you, Marshal.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: That kid you brought in the other day, I caught
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: him trying to steal one of my horses.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: You got Yorkie?
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: Isn't that his name?
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: Where is he, Moss?
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Back here.
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: He put up quite a fight for a sick boy, Marshal.
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: A little wildcat. I had to tie him up finally.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: I throwed him in the saddle room there. He's sure
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: a mean one.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: There he is.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: Little devil.
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: He'll hang yet.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Give me your knife, Chester.
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: No, don't untie him.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I'll handle him, Moss.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: Here you are, Mr.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Dillon.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Yorkie, I'm sorry this happened. I'd have given you a
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: horse if you'd have asked me.
• 18:15
  Speaker 10: There.
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: I wasn't going to steal him.
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: And what was you doing riding him out of that stall,
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: young fellow?
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Moss.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yorkie, you say you weren't going to steal him?
• 18:31
  Speaker 9: No.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Well, what were you doing then?
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: Kitty didn't come and I got lonely. I don't know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Well, I think I do, Yorkie. You just wanted to
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: be around something familiar, something you know. Isn't that right?
• 18:56
  Speaker 11: I guess so.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: And you've lived with horses all your life. You know
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: them pretty well. So you came over here.
• 19:02
  Speaker 11: I wasn't going to steal them. I just wanted to
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: get on them.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: You know, I half believe the boy, Moss. He's telling
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: the truth, Moss. Yorkie, I'm sorry I treated you rough.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Why don't you tell me?
• 19:18
  Speaker 11: You were going to kill me.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Me?
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: Me?
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: Kill anybody?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: A kid? Guess you don't know.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Me very well.
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: What are you going to do with me now?
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Well, Doc will be back tomorrow, Yorkie. If he says
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: it's okay for you to stay up late, you can.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, Kitty will be there.
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: All right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: Tell you what, Yorkie. You get well, you come over here.
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: I'll give you a horse to ride.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: You will?
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: Sure. I got lots of horses. You can take your pick.
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: What if I steal them?
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: I've had horses stolen before.
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: I don't understand you.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: He trusts you, Yorkie. We all do.
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: You shouldn't.
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: We shouldn't trust anybody.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, maybe not, but we do anyway. Moss, I got
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: an idea.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I don't suppose you could use a stable boy around here, huh?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Some kid who really knows horses and who's used to
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: hard work.
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: Well, I don't have much money, Marshal. If I could
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: feed him a little and maybe fix him a bed
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: in the saddle room here.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Of course, a good boy's like a good horse. There's
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: bound to be some hot blood in him.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: Try to lift my hair, I'll whop him good. That clear,
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: young fella?
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: You're talking about me?
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Of course they're talking about you, Yorkie.
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: One thing, I can't hire nobody less than he has
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: a whole name.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Well, Yorkie don't know his last name.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Well, call him anything. Kelly. Kelly, that's a good name.
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: Yorkie Kelly?
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: Grimmick Kelly. Yeah, sounds all right to me. You people
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: get out of here now. I got work to do.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: When Doc says you're a fit and Yorkie, you come back.
• 21:11
  Speaker 11: I'll be back, Moss.
• 21:13
  Speaker 9: I'll be back.
