- 1:31Speaker 2: United States Marshal.
- 1:33Speaker 4: Gunsmoke Barkey.
- 2:01Speaker 3: What'll it be, stranger? Nothing. What? I don't drink. Is
- 2:06Speaker 3: that what you come in here for, to tell me
- 2:08Speaker 3: you don't drink?
- 2:09Speaker 5: I didn't come in here to tell you nothing, Barkey.
- 2:13Speaker 6: You won't be the first stranger in Dodge.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I've had it straightened out.
- 2:16Speaker 5: Which one of these men is the marshal?
- 2:18Speaker 3: Marshal?
- 2:19Speaker 5: The marshal. I was told I'd find him here. He's here.
- 2:22Speaker 3: He's sitting right behind you, so don't start nothing.
- 2:24Speaker 7: Oh.
- 2:25Speaker 3: Oh.
- 2:26Speaker 5: Is that him sitting right there?
- 2:28Speaker 3: That's him.
- 2:36Speaker 5: Marshal Dillon.
- 2:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:39Speaker 5: I want to talk to you, Marshal. Well, go ahead.
- 2:44Speaker 5: Don't you mind if I sit down? No. Now, my
- 2:51Speaker 5: name is Ben Corder, Marshal.
- 2:53Speaker 7: Oh.
- 2:54Speaker 4: Ben Corder.
- 2:55Speaker 5: This is my first time in Dodge. I know. And
- 2:58Speaker 5: I want to be friends, Marshal. Why not? Now, I
- 3:04Speaker 5: figure we can do each other a lot of good.
- 3:06Speaker 3: A lot of good.
- 3:08Speaker 5: Is that so?
- 3:10Speaker 4: That sure is.
- 3:11Speaker 5: That's why I came to talk to you. See, whenever
- 3:15Speaker 5: I come to a new town, I always get to
- 3:17Speaker 5: know the man that's running the place. That way I
- 3:19Speaker 5: figure there won't be no misunderstandings later on. Misunderstanding about what?
- 3:25Speaker 5: I'm a gambler, Marshal. A dodge is an open town, Mr.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Corder. Oh, sure.
- 3:32Speaker 5: You see, I make money gambling. Sometimes a lot of money. Now,
- 3:35Speaker 5: you must be pretty lucky.
- 3:37Speaker 7: Huh?
- 3:38Speaker 5: I'm lucky, all right. But now, you know how sometimes
- 3:42Speaker 5: a player will go broke and start a fuss over it,
- 3:45Speaker 5: maybe even run to the law about it?
- 3:46Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I know.
- 3:48Speaker 5: And when he does, he's usually been cheated. Oh, some
- 3:51Speaker 5: losers always got to complain about something. Is that what
- 3:54Speaker 5: you came to tell me, Mr.
- 3:55Speaker 8: Corder?
- 3:57Speaker 5: Oh, Marshal, you know what I'm talking about. You take
- 4:01Speaker 5: care of the troublemakers, and I'll take care of you. Say,
- 4:05Speaker 5: a quarter of the profits, eh? Let me explain something
- 4:12Speaker 5: to you, Mr.
- 4:12Speaker 4: Corder.
- 4:14Speaker 5: If a man loses his money gambling, I figure that's
- 4:17Speaker 5: his lookout. But I still don't allow any crooked games
- 4:22Speaker 5: in Dodge because sooner or later they lead to killin'.
- 4:26Speaker 5: So you run your game straight, or out you go.
- 4:30Speaker 5: That's not friendly, Mark. Now, you've made one mistake, Mr. Corder,
- 4:34Speaker 5: trying to bribe me. You make another and you're through here.
- 4:39Speaker 3: For good.
- 4:40Speaker 5: Oh, you're one of the hard-nosed lawmen, eh? You'll find
- 4:46Speaker 5: out soon enough, mister.
- 4:47Speaker 6: Will I?
- 4:49Speaker 5: Now, I've got an idea that I can persuade you yet, Marshal.
- 4:54Speaker 4: Too far to come by daybreak.
- 5:17Speaker 6: A-O-C-H-E-D-E-N-I.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Mr. Dillon? Yeah, what is it, Chester?
- 5:29Speaker 6: Did you ever hear of a place called Deming?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Deming?
- 5:34Speaker 5: That's in New Mexico.
- 5:35Speaker 6: Well, is it a nice place?
- 5:37Speaker 5: Oh, sure.
- 5:38Speaker 7: Why?
- 5:39Speaker 6: Oh, this girl I know is going to move there.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Oh?
- 5:43Speaker 5: Is, uh... Is she a nice girl, Chester?
- 5:47Speaker 6: She was.
- 5:48Speaker 5: What do you mean, she was?
- 5:50Speaker 6: Well, I haven't seen her since she was about 10,
- 5:52Speaker 6: and that was over 20 years ago.
- 5:55Speaker 5: Well, what are you writing to the girl for, Chester?
- 5:57Speaker 6: Oh, I don't write to her. I write to her brother, Welby.
- 6:01Speaker 6: He tells me about everything.
- 6:03Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I'd better get out before you explain it
- 6:06Speaker 5: to me.
- 6:07Speaker 6: He wants me to marry up with her, Mr.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Dillon.
- 6:09Speaker 5: Oh, he does, huh?
- 6:10Speaker 6: Yes, sir, but once a year, regular, I write and
- 6:12Speaker 6: tell him I won't do it. He's getting too dang old.
- 6:14Speaker 6: That's what's the matter with her.
- 6:16Speaker 5: Well, don't forget to put the lamp off before you
- 6:18Speaker 5: leave the office tonight, Chester.
- 6:20Speaker 6: No, sir, I won't.
- 6:20Speaker 4: Get off me!
- 6:27Speaker 6: You see anybody? You want the rifle?
- 6:30Speaker 3: No.
- 6:32Speaker 5: Crawl over and put the lamp out, Chester, but keep low.
- 6:35Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
- 6:46Speaker 5: All right, we'll wait here a minute.
- 6:53Speaker 6: He'll get away.
- 6:54Speaker 5: He had a rifle, Chester, and he was in the
- 6:55Speaker 5: alley right across the street. And to his mighty poor shooting...
- 7:01Speaker 5: That's all they wanted to do was scare me.
- 7:04Speaker 6: Oh, then it was that gambler you told me about. Corridor, huh?
- 7:08Speaker 3: Maybe.
- 7:09Speaker 5: But I can't prove it.
- 7:11Speaker 6: You sure ought to do something about it.
- 7:13Speaker 9: I am.
- 7:13Speaker 5: I'm going to get something to eat.
- 7:17Speaker 3: What?
- 7:18Speaker 5: While you go out and drop the word here and
- 7:20Speaker 5: there about me getting shot at. But why? Just do it, Chester. Yes, sir.
- 7:26Speaker 5: I'll be around later.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Evening, Matt.
- 7:33Speaker 7: Hello, Kitty.
- 7:34Speaker 2: You busy?
- 7:34Speaker 9: No.
- 7:35Speaker 5: Sit down.
- 7:37Speaker 9: Thank you.
- 7:40Speaker 7: I heard about you getting shot at tonight. Well, I've
- 7:43Speaker 7: been shot before, Kitty.
- 7:44Speaker 6: Oh, I see.
- 7:59Speaker 5: And I suppose I shouldn't worry about it. Now, Kitty,
- 8:02Speaker 5: don't start that.
- 8:03Speaker 6: It's just luck you weren't killed years ago, Matt.
- 8:07Speaker 5: It stopped being luck, Kitty, when I learned how to
- 8:09Speaker 5: handle a gun myself.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Sure.
- 8:12Speaker 6: And anyway, somebody has to enforce.
- 8:15Speaker 3: The law, don't they?
- 8:17Speaker 5: Well, that's the way I look at it.
- 8:21Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Matt.
- 8:22Speaker 4: Good evening, Marshal.
- 8:26Speaker 5: Hello, Corder.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Ah.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Right pretty girl.
- 8:31Speaker 3: How long you been wearing shoes, mister?
- 8:34Speaker 5: Say what you have to say, Corder. You sure do
- 8:37Speaker 5: make it hard to be friends, Marshal. I only wanted
- 8:40Speaker 5: to say that I heard you got shot at tonight. So? Well,
- 8:44Speaker 5: I'm sorry it happened, that's all. I don't envy a
- 8:47Speaker 5: man has to be a Marshal. It's mighty dangerous. Besides that,
- 8:51Speaker 5: it usually don't pay very good. And what do you
- 8:55Speaker 5: think I ought to do about it, Corder?
- 8:57Speaker 3: Quit?
- 8:58Speaker 5: No, that ain't necessary, Marshal.
- 9:01Speaker 7: Because if you.
- 9:02Speaker 5: Were smart, you could stay right here and make good
- 9:05Speaker 5: money and be real.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Safe to boot.
- 9:12Speaker 5: I didn't know for sure it was you, Corder. But
- 9:16Speaker 5: now I know.
- 9:16Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
- 9:19Speaker 5: There's a stage leaving Dodge about sunup. You're going to
- 9:21Speaker 5: be on it. Oh, no, I'm opening a new game
- 9:24Speaker 5: across the street tomorrow. I'll take your gun, Corder. Oh,
- 9:27Speaker 5: wait a minute, Marshall. You can't do that. I think
- 9:29Speaker 5: I can. Corder went to bed early that night in jail.
- 9:47Speaker 5: But I got him up next morning and plenty of
- 9:48Speaker 5: time to make the stage. He climbed into it, meek
- 9:52Speaker 5: as a bird, and then it left. And I soon
- 9:55Speaker 5: forgot about him. Like so many others I'd run out
- 9:58Speaker 5: of Dodge, I figured he'd keep me. going and make
- 10:01Speaker 5: his trouble somewhere else. But a couple of weeks later,
- 10:05Speaker 5: I found out I'd figured wrong. I was walking up
- 10:08Speaker 5: Front Street one afternoon with Doc.
- 10:12Speaker 10: I tell you, man, I'm going to take down my
- 10:14Speaker 10: shingle one of these days and let all these people
- 10:17Speaker 10: find themselves a good vet.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Ha!
- 10:20Speaker 5: Who's been souring your milk, Doc? Oh, Miss Humboldt.
- 10:24Speaker 3: That's her.
- 10:25Speaker 6: She's been coming in every day for a week.
- 10:27Speaker 5: You're usually complaining about a shortage of patients, Doc. That
- 10:31Speaker 5: woman's not a patient.
- 10:32Speaker 6: She's a suicide.
- 10:34Speaker 5: Now, Doc, that might be said of anybody who comes
- 10:36Speaker 5: to you.
- 10:37Speaker 9: Huh?
- 10:39Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
- 10:40Speaker 10: Oh, well, the price for cutting bullets out of you
- 10:42Speaker 10: just went.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Up, Matt. Okay, okay. Tell me about Miss Humboldt.
- 10:47Speaker 6: Oh, she wants to be bled all the time.
- 10:49Speaker 3: And I won't do it.
- 10:50Speaker 5: A lot of people think bleeding's good for them.
- 10:52Speaker 6: Well, I do.
- 10:53Speaker 3: Oh.
- 10:54Speaker 6: Oh, doctor.
- 10:56Speaker 3: Hi, Chester.
- 10:57Speaker 6: He's right inside the alphagandha here, Mr.
- 10:58Speaker 7: Dillon.
- 10:59Speaker 6: I just saw him.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Who did you see, Chester?
- 11:01Speaker 6: That gambler.
- 11:02Speaker 5: Quarter.
- 11:02Speaker 7: What?
- 11:03Speaker 6: And he's got somebody else with him, some stranger.
- 11:06Speaker 5: Well... We'll see you later, Doctor.
- 11:09Speaker 8: Come on, Chester.
- 11:20Speaker 6: There they are. At the bar, Mr.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Dillon.
- 11:24Speaker 5: Well, I'll be.
- 11:25Speaker 4: There he is, Tolk.
- 11:27Speaker 5: That's him.
- 11:28Speaker 1: Him?
- 11:30Speaker 3: I'm back, Marshal.
- 11:31Speaker 5: Brought a man with me to sort of look after
- 11:33Speaker 5: my interests. Don't buffalo him so easy. Hello, Tok.
- 11:38Speaker 9: You really the marshal here?
- 11:41Speaker 5: Didn't Corder tell you?
- 11:42Speaker 3: He didn't mention no name.
- 11:44Speaker 5: What are you talking about? Tok Morland and I are
- 11:47Speaker 5: old friends, Corder. We worked and rode a long time together.
- 11:50Speaker 5: In fact, we went through quite a lot. Didn't we, Tok?
- 11:55Speaker 3: Too much, Matt. Remember?
- 11:59Speaker 5: Yeah, I remember.
- 12:02Speaker 3: You're marshal now, huh?
- 12:05Speaker 5: And you sold your gun to Corder here. Is that right?
- 12:10Speaker 3: That's right.
- 12:12Speaker 5: So you're here to kill me? Yeah.
- 12:17Speaker 3: I'm here to kill you.
- 12:19Speaker 7: THE END.
- 12:35Speaker 5: It was a bad feeling to meet Toke Marlin again
- 12:37Speaker 5: after some 15 years and to have him standing at
- 12:40Speaker 5: the bar of the Alifraganza hired by a crooked gambler
- 12:44Speaker 5: to kill me. Toke and I had run horses together
- 12:48Speaker 5: over in Colorado until the night we rode into La
- 12:51Speaker 5: Junta and got taken by a drunken mob and beaten
- 12:54Speaker 5: half to death. And the next day, when they found
- 12:58Speaker 5: out we weren't the men they wanted, it was too late.
- 13:02Speaker 5: By then, something had gone wrong inside Tok. And as
- 13:06Speaker 5: soon as he could climb on a horse, he'd ridden
- 13:08Speaker 5: off without a word. I never saw him again. Until now.
- 13:17Speaker 3: How long you been there, Marshal?
- 13:19Speaker 4: Quite a while, Tok.
- 13:21Speaker 3: I never figured a lawman for much.
- 13:23Speaker 5: A lot of people don't. Like Corder here. Go ahead, Tok.
- 13:28Speaker 5: Shoot him. I'll back you up. I handle my own gunfighting, Corder.
- 13:32Speaker 5: I want to talk to you, Tok. Come on over
- 13:34Speaker 5: to the table. No, you don't, Marshal. Shut up, Corder.
- 13:38Speaker 5: Come on, Tok.
- 13:48Speaker 9: Sit down.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Well, Took, is this your profession now? Shooting people?
- 14:00Speaker 3: I gamble a little.
- 14:03Speaker 5: Why do you do it, Took? I don't like people much.
- 14:08Speaker 5: Not after what happened at La Honda. Oh, you got
- 14:10Speaker 5: over that beating? We both did. Anyway, that was a
- 14:13Speaker 5: long time ago.
- 14:14Speaker 3: Maybe my memory is better than yours.
- 14:16Speaker 9: No.
- 14:17Speaker 3: No, it isn't.
- 14:18Speaker 5: We both changed after that, Took. We sure did, but
- 14:23Speaker 5: in different ways. Now, you hate everybody. I just hate mobs.
- 14:29Speaker 5: I guess that's one reason I became a lawman.
- 14:32Speaker 3: There was a lawman helping them that night, LaHonda.
- 14:34Speaker 9: The sheriff himself.
- 14:36Speaker 5: Oh, there are good sheriffs and bad, like Marshall. Like
- 14:41Speaker 5: anybody took.
- 14:42Speaker 9: It's kind of too bad you're a marshal, Matt.
- 14:50Speaker 5: You mean you're going through with this anyway.
- 14:53Speaker 3: I never back off from a fight.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Well, suppose I won't fight. I get paid all the same.
- 15:04Speaker 5: But you'll have to get out of Dodge. You think
- 15:08Speaker 5: I'll do that?
- 15:10Speaker 3: No. But I'll give you 24 hours to worry it around.
- 15:17Speaker 5: All right, Tuck. That gives you 24 hours, too. I
- 15:19Speaker 5: don't change.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Talks nothing to me.
- 15:25Speaker 5: But money is. It adds to the pleasure. Tell me something, Tok. Huh? You'd, uh,
- 15:34Speaker 5: enjoy shooting me?
- 15:38Speaker 3: You ain't Matt Dillon no more.
- 15:40Speaker 5: You're a lawman.
- 15:43Speaker 3: Same as the one who helped him half-kill me. You too, Lord.
- 15:47Speaker 5: You're a fool, Tok.
- 15:48Speaker 3: Maybe. But I'm a pretty good gunman.
- 15:54Speaker 5: Sure. You can let Corder run his game here, or
- 16:00Speaker 5: you can quit. It's a crooked game. There'd be fights.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Men would die.
- 16:03Speaker 7: 24 hours, Marshal Dillon.
- 16:07Speaker 9: Okay.
- 16:07Speaker 5: 24 hours. 24 hours. Your cut, Chester.
- 16:32Speaker 6: You sure you don't want to stop, Mr. Dillon?
- 16:34Speaker 5: Just because I've been losing. It could be a bad omen,
- 16:37Speaker 5: especially today. It's like I told Kitty, Chester. I don't
- 16:40Speaker 5: depend on luck.
- 16:42Speaker 9: Oh.
- 16:44Speaker 6: Oh, well.
- 16:46Speaker 5: You two still playing cards?
- 16:48Speaker 3: Oh, Doc.
- 16:48Speaker 5: Doc, how many, Chester?
- 16:50Speaker 9: Two. One.
- 16:52Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
- 16:53Speaker 10: Matt, you've been hiding out in here all day long
- 16:56Speaker 10: while everybody's talking about how you let that gambler come
- 16:58Speaker 10: back to town yesterday.
- 17:00Speaker 5: After running him out.
- 17:02Speaker 3: And I don't like it.
- 17:02Speaker 5: I'm taking three, Chester. It'll all be subtle tonight, Doc.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 17:09Speaker 10: Now, they're saying you're afraid of that gunman he's got
- 17:11Speaker 10: with him. That, that, that, that toke something.
- 17:13Speaker 5: Sure bet, Chester. Uh, Doc, don't get drunk too early today, huh?
- 17:18Speaker 5: We might need you. Oh, I quit.
- 17:21Speaker 6: I can't even think of that, Mr.
- 17:23Speaker 3: Dillon.
- 17:24Speaker 6: Okay, Chester. If there's anything I hate, it's a paid gunman.
- 17:27Speaker 3: A paid gunman.
- 17:29Speaker 9: Oh.
- 17:30Speaker 5: For that's what he is.
- 17:30Speaker 6: Ain't there no way at all to stop him, Mr.
- 17:32Speaker 3: Dillon?
- 17:32Speaker 10: How are you going to stop a man that kills
- 17:34Speaker 10: just for money?
- 17:37Speaker 5: Just for money? Hey, wait a minute. Doc, do you
- 17:43Speaker 5: know where he is now? Well, he was on the
- 17:45Speaker 5: Texas Trail a little while ago, Matt. Good. I'll be
- 17:48Speaker 5: back later.
- 17:49Speaker 4: The End.
- 18:03Speaker 5: Hello, Took.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Well, Marshal Dillon.
- 18:10Speaker 4: Sit down, Marshal.
- 18:17Speaker 3: You know Miss Kitty here? Hello, Matt.
- 18:19Speaker 5: Kitty.
- 18:21Speaker 3: I've been talking about you, me, and Kitty. And talking
- 18:25Speaker 3: about me, too.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Good.
- 18:27Speaker 5: That's what I want to talk about, Took.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Me? Yeah.
- 18:30Speaker 9: We'll go right ahead. But don't stay too long. She's
- 18:34Speaker 9: a real pretty girl, Matt.
- 18:36Speaker 6: Maybe I'd better leave.
- 18:37Speaker 3: If you leave, I leave with you. Matt?
- 18:40Speaker 5: It's all right, Kitty.
- 18:41Speaker 3: Stay.
- 18:43Speaker 5: Toke, how much is quarter pay in you to get
- 18:47Speaker 5: rid of me?
- 18:47Speaker 8: $ 300?
- 18:48Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:49Speaker 9: What if I give you $ 300?
- 18:52Speaker 5: To shoot him, huh? You don't care who you kill,
- 18:58Speaker 5: do you?
- 19:00Speaker 3: It don't matter much. No. All right.
- 19:06Speaker 5: I'll give you 300 to clear out of here and
- 19:08Speaker 5: forget this whole business.
- 19:10Speaker 9: Why?
- 19:11Speaker 5: Well, we were good friends once, Token. Until you got
- 19:13Speaker 5: mad and started hating everybody.
- 19:16Speaker 3: You've changed too, Matt. You sure never were a coward
- 19:20Speaker 3: in the old days.
- 19:21Speaker 5: Is that what you think I am?
- 19:22Speaker 3: So does Kitty. Don't you, Kitty?
- 19:24Speaker 5: Don't tell me what I think, mister.
- 19:27Speaker 9: He's full of vinegar, Matt. A girl like that deserves
- 19:31Speaker 9: a real man. Yeah, I think I'll get my money

- 20:19Speaker 6: I told him, Mr.
- 20:20Speaker 3: Dillon.
- 20:21Speaker 5: Thanks, Chester. He said he.
- 20:23Speaker 6: Likes the idea of meeting you in the street.

- 21:45Speaker 1: Bad.
- 22:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
