00:01:41 How long now, Pa?
00:01:43 We ain't much more than started.
00:01:49 Is there troublemakers around here too?
00:01:52 Don't you fret about
00:01:57 (animals yelp and snarl)
00:02:00 We're not really running from them,
00:02:05 Us?
00:02:07 We're traipsing along like natural men.
00:02:11 We got other things to do.
00:02:14 I can't hardly wait. Are you certain sure
00:02:20 Long enough to say how do you do
00:02:26 Could I count the money again?
00:02:29 - You sure there's enough?
00:02:32 Enough for the steamboat
00:02:35 (dog barking)
00:02:40 10 and 10 is 20, and 20 more's 40.
00:02:44 Old Faro's getting hot.
00:02:47 (barking continues)
00:02:50 - What's 20 onto 115?
00:02:53 Hush, boy. Faro's making music.
00:02:59 Fox doubled on him.
00:03:02 Same as before, Pa. 215.
00:03:05 Are you expecting it to multiply?
00:03:07 Give it here. We'll blow the dog in.
00:03:12 Let me try it again, Pa.
00:03:18 (no sound)
00:03:23 (no sound)
00:03:26 Time you can blow it,
00:03:31 (short blasts)
00:03:41 - He heard you.
00:03:44 Old Gabriel himself will want
00:03:49 You better lie down now. Your ma
00:03:56 Won't you tell me
00:04:01 It's a place for the likes of us. No people
00:04:06 Only wild game to see and to shoot at.
00:04:09 When you take a breath, it's got a clean
00:04:14 Man, oh, man!
00:04:17 (dog barking)
00:04:21 Smart music, Faro.
00:04:25 That's the way Texas is, they say,
00:04:30 (hums)
00:04:40 It ain't we don't like people.
00:04:43 Room to stretch in. Room to see and hunt.
00:04:45 Where you set foot,
00:04:48 That's what ails Kentucky. A man can't
00:05:01 # I wish I was an apple
00:05:04 # Hanging on a tree
00:05:06 # And every day my love would take
00:05:10 # A big bite out of me
00:05:14 # A big bite out of me
00:05:59 (barks)
00:06:01 Here, Faro! Heel!
00:06:09 (barks angrily)
00:06:18 Get him.
00:06:35 - You there, call your dog off.
00:06:38 (yelping)
00:06:51 I've a good mind to arrest you.
00:06:55 - It's ready. They can eat now.
00:06:59 - What are you doing here in Prideville?
00:07:02 Let's have your name.
00:07:04 Elias Wakefield.
00:07:06 Some of you Wakefields
00:07:09 - Weren't me.
00:07:11 Then you won't mind lying in jail
00:07:14 - You coming peaceable?
00:07:16 Get him, men! I'm deputizing you!
00:07:48 (yells)
00:08:36 Please eat. Your pa would want you to eat.
00:08:43 I bet he will eat.
00:08:46 We was going to Texas.
00:08:48 Texas, now? That's a far piece.
00:08:52 Bet it's nice.
00:08:58 There's buffalo.
00:09:01 - Sure enough buffalo?
00:09:05 - And foxes for your hound?
00:09:09 I swear!
00:09:12 The air has a clean taste to it.
00:09:15 No bound girls there, I reckon.
00:09:21 No lone woman either.
00:09:25 - What, Hannah?
00:09:33 I was free once.
00:09:36 I've heard the hounds making music
00:09:40 And you know that no one was on hill
00:09:45 That's Texas!
00:09:48 Now you eat.
00:09:50 Stop poking and get the food on!
00:09:56 - Who said you could feed him?
00:10:00 Talk back when your time is up!
00:10:03 You seem to forget
00:10:10 Now get them vittles in there!
00:10:24 Now, you eat.
00:10:29 Soon as we can
00:10:35 (man) Psst!
00:10:37 Psst!
00:10:48 John, give him a drink on me.
00:10:55 Where's he at?
00:11:00 Glad you showed up, boys.
00:11:04 Him that got killed first
00:11:08 Cry, ye young 'uns, cry, sweethearts,
00:11:11 when the feuding shooting starts.
00:11:13 And weep, you widows in lone homes
00:11:15 when a Wakefield beats a Fromes.
00:11:17 He asked where he was at.
00:11:20 He's here all right.
00:11:23 - It's your chance to get even.
00:11:26 - Else where'd you have him?
00:11:30 The law would know you'd done it.
00:11:32 You've got to think of my position.
00:11:35 Let's not push, boys. Let's have a drink.
00:11:45 Obliged for the vittles.
00:11:49 You rest easy, Little Eli.
00:11:53 - Pa?
00:11:55 Her name's Hannah, Pa.
00:11:59 Pa, could a lone woman go to Texas?
00:12:03 If she was man enough to stand it. Why?
00:12:07 I mean her. With us.
00:12:10 No. We was just talking outlandish.
00:12:14 Nothing against you, miss,
00:12:17 I couldn't get away even if I wanted to.
00:12:41 - As we're friends...
00:12:43 A constable's pay is mighty small.
00:12:45 - It's pay he wants.
00:12:49 - Just let him out, friend.
00:12:53 - We're good at waiting.
00:13:18 No appreciation at all.
00:13:23 Won't buy a drink, won't buy a bed.
00:13:26 Just waiting.
00:13:43 (birds singing)
00:14:51 (blast on horn)
00:14:53 (gasps)
00:14:55 We fooled you, Hannah!
00:14:59 - Morning.
00:15:02 - (barking)
00:15:05 It's Faro!
00:15:07 Pa said you'd come back first chance
00:15:12 Stay right there!
00:15:16 You're arrested again, Wakefield,
00:15:20 - What for?
00:15:23 He didn't. I came of my own free will.
00:15:25 - That's for the court.
00:15:29 You thought you were so smart,
00:15:33 I knew the dog would tail you.
00:15:36 - Fromeses?
00:15:38 I didn't let on.
00:15:41 - Come on!
00:15:43 Stand back!
00:15:46 Can't a man do something?
00:15:48 Sure. If you had more than a buckeye
00:15:53 - How much would it come to?
00:15:56 - 200 dollars.
00:16:07 Pa! That's our Texas money.
00:16:11 I'll go back. I'll work hard.
00:16:14 You keep your Texas money, Eli.
00:16:18 Son, you got a proper say in this.
00:16:21 I don't want her to go back to him.
00:16:26 Do you stand with me?
00:16:36 I stand with you.
00:17:15 You're plumb wore out, Hannah.
00:17:17 Seems like all I want to do
00:17:21 We'll stay the night here.
00:17:44 - Come another day or so, we'll all be safe.
00:17:49 Mountain people like the Fromeses
00:17:55 It galls me some, though, to think I run.
00:17:59 I wouldn't call it running,
00:18:04 He ain't got much, Little Eli.
00:18:07 Just Faro and me.
00:18:11 Been half an orphan all his life,
00:18:15 Couldn't stand to think
00:18:19 You're a good man, Eli Wakefield.
00:18:29 Don't let anything come between.
00:19:05 That's your Uncle Zack.
00:19:24 I'll find out where your Uncle Zack lives.
00:19:33 (all shout excitedly)
00:19:43 (all shout excitedly)
00:19:47 Never say die!
00:19:58 (creak)
00:20:00 - (creak)
00:20:03 Begging your pardon.
00:20:13 - A miss!
00:20:17 - I just wanted to ask...
00:20:28 (excited shouting)
00:20:35 (shouts of encouragement)
00:20:43 (excited shouting)
00:20:48 Well, son, you had enough?
00:20:56 What do you want?
00:20:57 Begging your pardon, but could you
00:21:03 That your wife?
00:21:06 No.
00:21:08 You looking for work?
00:21:10 Wakefield doesn't hire any women.
00:21:12 I could use one here, though.
00:21:15 She don't want no work.
00:21:19 You going to tell me
00:21:23 - Wakefield's a particular man.
00:21:27 No use asking here.
00:21:30 Second place north, on the left.
00:21:33 - If he'll let you in.
00:21:43 (Faro barks)
00:21:58 Howdy, Zack. We got here.
00:22:01 Elias!
00:22:03 Praise the Lord!
00:22:06 You're a sight for sore eyes.
00:22:09 - This your young 'un?
00:22:11 There's three of you. Come on in!
00:22:14 - Sophie! Elias is here!
00:22:18 (Zack laughs)
00:22:22 You wouldn't remember your Uncle Zack.
00:22:25 - How are you, boy?
00:22:28 - How do, miss?
00:22:30 - We've brought something for you.
00:22:33 - For your innards.
00:22:35 That's nice! Mighty nice!
00:22:38 But you got no business
00:22:42 Take off your duds. Sit down, y'all.
00:22:47 Well, Elias!
00:22:52 And here's Little Eli all grown up almost!
00:22:59 That hair's pretty enough for a girl.
00:23:01 You must have lost your shears,
00:23:06 This is Hannah, Sophie.
00:23:08 - Hello.
00:23:10 - Hannah?
00:23:13 Oh. I didn't get the last name.
00:23:17 - Hannah Bolen.
00:23:20 It cost 200 dollars.
00:23:23 A bound girl?
00:23:28 We're all going to Texas.
00:23:31 I see.
00:23:34 You got to take things for what they are.
00:23:40 Pity you didn't train that hound, Little Eli.
00:23:43 He didn't need no training.
00:23:45 He was natural-born smarter than any fox,
00:23:49 Get down, Faro. Heel.
00:23:55 Hannah and Little Eli are plumb wore out.
00:23:59 Take it easy, Eli. Don't get your dander up.
00:24:01 We have a cabin for the girl
00:24:05 No.
00:24:07 Thanks all the same, but I'll be going. I
00:24:12 (Little Eli) You can't go, Hannah.
00:24:16 - We'll all go.
00:24:18 - Please.
00:24:24 - I'll stay the night.
00:24:28 - Sophie, show her to her cabin.
00:24:42 Hannah. We don't have to stay.
00:24:47 I'll stay the night and then I'll go to work.
00:24:50 - Work? Where?
00:24:55 I don't cotton to the man.
00:24:57 Where, Eli?
00:25:01 Unless you work for your brother,
00:25:07 I'll find something.
00:25:09 Come to your senses, Eli.
00:25:12 Between the two of us,
00:25:15 we ought to be able to save up
00:25:21 Your pappy'll never get to Texas
00:25:26 Good night, now.
00:25:32 - So he spent his Texas money.
00:25:35 Not in time.
00:25:39 I'll let him fish for mussels, I'll have him
00:25:43 But he can't make enough
00:25:46 - I know...
00:25:49 I'll make a businessman out of him.
00:25:52 I'll work the buckskin
00:25:57 He's my little brother.
00:26:15 How will we know
00:26:19 I figure it'll be big enough to see.
00:26:22 But what if it's night?
00:26:25 Most steamboats got a whistle.
00:26:31 Pa, look!
00:26:36 Well, I declare! Looks like a pearl.
00:26:40 Must be a pearl.
00:26:50 A whopper!
00:26:52 Is it worth something?
00:26:55 - I wonder.
00:27:01 I just wonder.
00:27:03 But is it ours?
00:27:08 He bargained for the shells, that's all.
00:27:12 And seeing he's so keen
00:27:18 In this bottle, ladies and gentlemen,
00:27:21 in this bottle is the very reptile
00:27:27 2,000 years ago.
00:27:30 Yes, this very reptile.
00:27:33 The most poisonous serpent
00:27:36 One nip from this fellow
00:27:40 I was traveling in Egypt...
00:27:43 Not now, sir.
00:27:45 You, sir.
00:27:48 In good time I shall offer to the public
00:27:53 the certain cure for aches and shakes,
00:27:56 for languishments of the limbs
00:28:00 But let us not descend to commerce
00:28:04 And I'll thank you not to interrupt!
00:28:08 I was traveling in old Egypt
00:28:10 and I befriended an ancient wise man.
00:28:13 Dead now, bless his bones.
00:28:16 And with his dying breath,
00:28:18 he told me that this was the very asp
00:28:21 that Cleopatra
00:28:25 One stroke, two, and she was dead.
00:28:28 That haughty queen, that divinity of form,
00:28:32 that perfect pearl of pulchritude.
00:28:36 He's a windbag,
00:28:40 And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:28:46 refined and scientificated
00:28:50 has come to us, as by a miracle,
00:28:53 a medicine, a balm
00:28:56 to make your aching joints
00:29:00 Step right up, ladies and gentlemen...
00:29:11 What'll it be?
00:29:13 I wanted to tell this gentleman
00:29:18 Thank you, sir.
00:29:19 I spoke the simple truth.
00:29:24 That part about the pearl.
00:29:26 The perfect pearl of pulchritude,
00:29:30 It put me in mind
00:29:35 - A freshwater pearl?
00:29:39 I don't understand you.
00:29:42 You see, a friend of mine's got it.
00:29:46 Lives over at Prideville.
00:29:50 Proceed, sir.
00:29:53 My travels have taken me far and wide.
00:29:56 He says it's as big as a pigeon egg
00:30:05 Did you ever see a pearl that size,
00:30:09 Never will. When I do, I'll bid on it myself.
00:30:12 - You?
00:30:14 Why not, indeed? You manufacture
00:30:18 Some. At least I don't sell medicine.
00:30:21 An insulting remark,
00:30:24 remembering, as the Bard of Avon said,
00:30:29 If you're so smart,
00:30:33 - Jimmy Monroe, that's all.
00:30:37 James Monroe, president of these
00:30:42 Jimmy's the biggest collector
00:30:47 barring the crowned heads of Europe.
00:30:49 You have been around, haven't you?
00:30:51 Around enough
00:30:55 - I was talking to this gentleman.
00:30:59 - I'll get word to my friend.
00:31:02 And...
00:31:05 good fortune to him.
00:31:10 - I didn't know that...
00:31:20 I didn't know
00:31:23 They're not, you fool!
00:31:29 Come on, boys! Drinks are on the house!
00:31:39 Mussel.
00:31:41 Mussel.
00:31:48 M-U-C...
00:31:57 (Sophie) Boys! Please!
00:32:01 Coming.
00:32:03 We'd better get down.
00:32:05 I'm stumped, anyhow.
00:32:25 Come on, you two.
00:32:30 This is my little brother Eli.
00:32:32 - How do you do?
00:32:35 - And this is Little Eli.
00:32:38 - And this is Faro.
00:32:40 Miss Susie's our schoolteacher.
00:32:43 Sit down, y'all.
00:32:45 Hey!
00:32:48 Come on, Faro.
00:32:55 I imagine I'll be seeing a great deal of you,
00:32:59 What grade will you be in?
00:33:03 We didn't aim to...
00:33:05 We're bound for Texas, miss.
00:33:08 Oh?
00:33:12 Oh! Heavens to Betsy!
00:33:15 It'll be on in a shake, folks.
00:33:20 - Then you've been to Texas before?
00:33:24 That's our reason for going. We ain't been.
00:33:26 Eli has the itchy foot and don't know
00:33:31 (Zack laughs)
00:33:33 You don't think you'll like it here?
00:33:37 I told Elias
00:33:44 I'm sure his father knows
00:33:47 Miss Susie's topnotch in everything.
00:33:50 Can you spell "mussel"?
00:33:53 M-U-S-C-L-E.
00:33:56 - Not that kind. They've been fishing.
00:34:08 (piano playing)
00:34:15 Susie's playing for the backwoods tonight.
00:34:19 He goes for pearls sure enough, huh?
00:34:25 Stan, I was only funning.
00:34:27 So was I.
00:34:31 Hannah!
00:34:38 Yes?
00:34:40 Dig out a bottle of my best wine.
00:34:46 (piano playing)
00:35:19 I bet you can't play
00:35:26 (plays sedate tune)
00:35:32 (music speeds up)
00:35:34 # Possum up a gum tree
00:35:35 # Raccoon on the ground
00:35:37 -# Take your little darling
00:35:40 # And whirl her round and round
00:35:42 # I wish I was an apple
00:35:45 # And every day my love would take
00:35:50 # A big bite out of me
00:35:52 Come on, Sophie.
00:35:53 Chase that rabbit, chase that squirrel,
00:35:56 # Possum up a gum tree
00:36:00 # Take your little darling
00:36:02 # And whirl her round and round
00:36:04 # I wish I had a needle
00:36:07 # I'd sew my darling to my coat
00:36:12 # Down the street I'd go
00:36:17 - The letter.
00:36:20 # Possum up a gum tree
00:36:23 # Take your little darling
00:36:28 # Roast beef when I'm hungry
00:36:31 # Greenbacks when I'm hard up
00:36:35 # Religion when I die
00:36:37 Up the river and round the bend. Be good
00:36:43 Circle that partner, corner her dress.
00:36:45 All join hands and away to the West.
00:36:49 # Possum up a gum tree
00:36:53 # Take your little darling
00:36:55 # And whirl her round and round
00:36:59 # Whirl her round and round
00:37:06 That's smart music. Calls for more.
00:37:08 Tickle them ivories.
00:37:10 No, Zack. Play "My Darling".
00:37:21 # I see my darling
00:37:28 # I see my darling in the leaves that fall
00:37:35 # I see her walking
00:37:43 # And hear her name in every bluebird call
00:37:50 # I told the possum in the gum tree
00:37:53 # The raccoon on the ground
00:37:56 # Told everyone but my darling
00:38:00 # Of the happiness I've found
00:38:05 # My heart would cry
00:38:13 # If my darling and her heart
00:38:26 - Little Eli.
00:38:28 - Come in.
00:38:33 But, Hannah...
00:38:34 (singing continues)
00:38:39 Please don't mention it was me.
00:38:42 # If my darling and her heart
00:38:52 (no sound)
00:38:59 (door opens)
00:39:01 # Possum up a gum tree
00:39:07 Why, son,
00:39:16 Looks like you got your powder wet.
00:39:18 You and that schoolteacher!
00:39:21 Is that what's tormenting you?
00:39:23 Hannah's better than her. Me and you
00:39:28 - We spent all our money for her.
00:39:31 I said nothing against Hannah.
00:39:34 You gonna write the letter
00:39:38 You ain't even going to write!
00:39:41 Of course I'm going to write.
00:40:02 Mussel.
00:40:05 M-U-S-C...
00:40:08 M-U-S-S-E-L!
00:40:14 Seems like you paid some mind
00:40:21 You reckon
00:40:25 That's hard telling.
00:40:27 We'll leave it to the president.
00:40:30 That's right, Pa.
00:40:35 I swear, that letter-writing came hard.
00:40:40 You're too old to go to school, Pa.
00:40:44 I wasn't thinking of myself.
00:40:48 (man) Harry Milton!
00:40:51 Haggard! Lester Haggard!
00:40:54 Mr. Bodine. Another one for you, Stan.
00:40:59 Six cents. Eleven cents.
00:41:02 Here's your change.
00:41:05 Faro!
00:41:07 Hannah!
00:41:08 We just about got our Texas money back.
00:41:11 Eleven cents.
00:41:19 That'll be...
00:41:21 Mr. President James Monroe
00:41:27 What are you sending?
00:41:29 - How much?
00:41:37 It ain't every day
00:41:50 - I guess Little Eli couldn't wait.
00:41:53 The egg ain't hatched,
00:41:58 (laughs)
00:42:00 Don't you know
00:42:03 (all laugh)
00:42:23 Sure one on me.
00:42:32 I gotta hand it to you.
00:42:34 - Didn't you say you'd been to Prideville?
00:42:39 It's off the beaten track, as you well know.
00:42:41 - Ever hear the name Wakefield there?
00:42:44 Wakefield...
00:42:47 Yes, it's coming to me. That bit of verse
00:42:51 Ah. "Weep you widows in lone homes
00:43:00 I'm a Wakefield.
00:43:03 And I'll show you
00:43:07 - Eli, don't!
00:43:17 Get wise! Get educated, Wakefield!
00:43:29 Elias! Whoa there!
00:43:38 Haven't you made fool enough of yourself
00:43:56 President Pearl, President Pearl,
00:43:59 (chanting continues)
00:44:11 (all shout)
00:44:13 Children! Children, stop it! Let me past!
00:44:20 I'm ashamed of all of you. A newcomer,
00:44:25 We'll cut the playtime short.
00:44:37 You all right, Little Eli?
00:44:53 (Zack) Ten of lug.
00:45:00 48 leaf.
00:45:05 Now, the best part of the leaf
00:45:09 Used for the finest chewing plug.
00:45:11 The lug here
00:45:14 You'll catch on to the difference in grades.
00:45:19 It comes hard, Zack, but I've been
00:45:23 - I'm obliged to you.
00:45:26 For keeping me from being a double fool.
00:45:30 Forget it! Takes a spell
00:45:34 Sure they mortified you. Keep your
00:45:40 You really suppose
00:45:43 Fit in?
00:45:45 Why, brother!
00:45:47 As for the boy, don't you worry.
00:46:03 (giggling)
00:46:05 Children! I wouldn't like to tell your
00:46:11 Luke.
00:46:13 Luke Lester!
00:46:22 All right, that's better.
00:46:25 Eli?
00:46:28 Eli Wakefield?
00:46:37 Eli!
00:46:40 You'll never get anywhere
00:46:59 (horn blares)
00:47:07 Eli, come back! Children, stop that!
00:47:11 The Texas steamboat!
00:47:14 Look at 'em run.
00:47:19 Eli? Eli!
00:47:23 Come back, Elias!
00:47:53 - Little Eli!
00:47:55 It came!
00:47:57 - I can't stay long. I'm stealing time off.
00:48:02 Did you have to fight your way out?
00:48:05 They were making little of Pa.
00:48:09 Don't fault your pa. It's for Texas.
00:48:12 He promised! You heard him promise.
00:48:14 You'll go. You and your pa will.
00:48:17 - Will we, Hannah?
00:48:20 Can you come too?
00:48:23 Not yet a while, I reckon.
00:48:25 But you two gotta go. Somehow.
00:48:33 (short blasts on horn)
00:48:37 # Texas! Texas!
00:48:40 # Texas! Texas!
00:48:44 # It's the land of promise
00:48:48 # It's the land of promise
00:48:52 # 24 hours a day it's sunny
00:48:55 I gotta go.
00:48:58 # A-rolling by
00:49:01 # The money just rolls, the honey just falls
00:49:05 # 24 hours a day it's sunny
00:49:09 # Nothing but milk and honey rolling by
00:49:11 - I'm talking about Texas.
00:49:15 - I'm talking about Texas.
00:49:18 # We're talking about Texas, Texas,
00:49:22 Whoa!
00:49:25 # It's the land of promise
00:49:29 # It's the land of promise
00:49:33 # 24 hours a day it's sunny
00:49:36 # Nothing but milk and honey rolling by
00:49:44 (blasts on horn)
00:49:52 Friends,
00:49:56 and I'm going to Texas!
00:50:01 And I'm not going alone!
00:50:05 People with brave hearts, ambitious
00:50:11 are going with me.
00:50:13 We're going to that rich Spanish land
00:50:15 where Moses Austin won a grant
00:50:20 We'll steam to New Orleans,
00:50:24 Many have already signed.
00:50:26 There's room for more.
00:50:30 What's wrong with old Kentuck?
00:50:32 It's a fine land. If it suits you, stay.
00:50:36 But pot liquor for the goose
00:50:39 You don't measure land in Texas by
00:50:44 When the eye can see no further,
00:50:48 The rifle ball has not been made
00:50:52 And game, I tell you by the Book,
00:50:55 my own eyes have seen a sea of buffalo
00:50:58 that took from sunup to sundown to pass.
00:51:03 - Is your question answered, friend?
00:51:08 But there is no great hurry. The ship
00:51:12 We will cruise the river
00:51:16 I will circulate far and wide among you.
00:51:20 And now, my friends, if any would care
00:51:25 Welcome!
00:51:40 Hey! You're supposed to be in school!
00:51:43 I thought you was buying tobacco.
00:51:47 - Where did you get that shiner?
00:52:14 Out of here! Get out of here! Come on! Git!
00:52:18 Always messing things up!
00:52:30 Miss Susie's right upset,
00:52:33 You can't blame her.
00:52:38 You got to excuse Little Eli.
00:52:41 He ain't a man yet.
00:52:43 No. He ain't a man yet.
00:52:56 I hate Uncle Zack and I hate Aunt Sophie
00:53:03 Hold on, son. Zack and Sophie
00:53:07 They got their side.
00:53:11 You gonna earn enough money
00:53:17 That black eye makes you cantankerous.
00:53:24 You don't ever take me hunting any more.
00:53:27 You don't hardly see me at all,
00:53:32 All right, son, I tell you what.
00:53:34 Miss Susie's got an apology coming
00:53:37 When she's peacified,
00:53:41 It's a go.
00:53:55 (school bell ringing)
00:54:02 Good morning. Good morning.
00:54:07 Thank you, Tommie. Good morning.
00:54:11 Could we have a word with you, miss?
00:54:14 Surely. Would you excuse me, Stan?
00:54:18 - I'll see you tonight.
00:54:22 Good morning, Miss Susie.
00:54:29 Did you have something to say
00:54:33 I thought you was gonna say it.
00:54:36 That ain't the way I understood the deal.
00:54:41 I'm...
00:54:45 Pa says you gotta excuse me
00:54:48 I will be a man
00:54:51 I'm sure you will.
00:54:53 Now run along to class, Little Eli.
00:55:11 He won't tell me how he got that black
00:55:16 Then I'm afraid I can't.
00:55:19 It was over me.
00:55:22 - You know, of course, about the pearl?
00:55:29 Town ain't easy for a hunter,
00:55:34 I can tell you this much. He didn't run.
00:55:37 He met his trouble
00:55:41 You can be proud of him.
00:55:44 I'd like to know you both better.
00:55:50 I suppose.
00:55:53 Why, yes. Thanks, miss.
00:55:55 - Thursday, then?
00:56:24 (dog barking)
00:56:34 (barking continues)
00:57:15 Sweet music, ain't it, boy?
00:57:18 Too pretty for a body to stand, almost.
00:57:23 Man, oh, man!
00:57:34 (no sound)
00:57:40 I guess I'll never be growed up.
00:57:44 You will. You'll blow it one day.
00:57:46 Now listen. It ain't always we can listen.
00:57:56 (Hannah) Hello, the fire!
00:57:59 It's Hannah, Pa!
00:58:03 - I knowed your voice!
00:58:06 Come rest and listen.
00:58:08 - Where did you come from?
00:58:12 - Faro's singing sweet as pie tonight.
00:58:17 - Thursday?
00:58:19 What's wrong, Pa?
00:58:22 - Give me the horn. We got to go.
00:58:26 We've got to blow the dog in.
00:58:28 Hannah says we gotta go to Texas,
00:58:31 - I got your Texas money for you.
00:58:34 - Hannah!
00:58:37 I got it hid away for you.
00:58:39 How?
00:58:41 It's honest. That's enough.
00:58:44 Bodine.
00:58:48 - Just say I drawed ahead.
00:58:52 They're making sport of you in the town.
00:58:56 - Being laughed at don't kill a man.
00:59:00 Maybe so and maybe not.
00:59:02 - It's on paper. Legal-like.
00:59:07 Eli, some are born to stand still
00:59:11 and some are born to run
00:59:14 Can't you see Texas is the fox for you?
00:59:16 I'm through with running. Come on, boy.
00:59:22 Why are you mad at Hannah for, Pa?
00:59:29 Look, we're much obliged.
00:59:34 - Eli, you're playing the fool.
00:59:38 Let's go, boy.
01:00:04 (woman) Susan?
01:00:08 - Yes, Mother.
01:00:15 No, Mother.
01:00:17 My back has started hurting.
01:00:20 - Couldn't you come and talk to me?
01:00:24 (knock at door)
01:00:38 Me and Little Eli, we...
01:00:41 we forgot.
01:00:43 - That's all. We plumb forgot.
01:00:48 It was a prime night for hunting.
01:00:53 Here comes up a prime night.
01:00:56 It's nice to know you weren't
01:01:00 I can't blame you for making small of me.
01:01:03 But it was because Little Eli apologized
01:01:07 That's why I promised I'd take him out.
01:01:18 All we knew, Little Eli and me,
01:01:22 shooting our meals and following foxes.
01:01:25 It's habit-like with us and hard to bust,
01:01:35 Eli.
01:01:38 Come back.
01:01:48 That's the nicest apology I ever heard.
01:01:52 Come in. We'll eat our supper cold.
01:02:02 I'm obliged.
01:02:04 I messed things up, I reckon.
01:02:07 Like it was in my mind to ask you,
01:02:11 would you play for me again?
01:02:17 Ask, then.
01:02:31 Oh, Eli.
01:02:33 Big Eli Wakefield.
01:02:36 Oh, Eli. Eli.
01:02:42 - Joe Emery.
01:02:44 - Brown. Mr. Clay Brown.
01:02:47 - Postlewaite. John Postlewaite.
01:02:51 Zybee Fletcher.
01:02:54 Zybee Fletcher. Zybee Fletcher.
01:02:57 - Wakefield. Zack Wakefield.
01:03:01 Well, if it ain't Mr. President Pearl himself!
01:03:10 - Morgan. Anse Morgan.
01:03:13 Wakefield. Elias Wakefield.
01:03:16 The president.
01:03:24 About time he answered.
01:03:29 Better late than never.
01:03:31 Looks like money, too.
01:03:39 Come on, son.
01:03:43 (man) I never would have believed it!
01:03:46 (excited chatter)
01:03:56 Now we'll see.
01:03:59 (Zack) Elias?
01:04:09 - Hi, Eli.
01:04:15 I've got to send you to Pekin tomorrow.
01:04:20 All right, Zack.
01:04:28 Tell you what.
01:04:30 Ride that new River Queen back.
01:04:34 Can I go too, Pa?
01:04:37 Sure. I'll fix it up
01:04:40 That all, Zack?
01:04:43 There's gonna be a big crowd
01:04:50 Being you're in business now,
01:04:53 - I'll advance the money.
01:05:00 Just be careful of those river gamblers.
01:05:07 Now, son...
01:05:15 "Dear Mr. Wakefield,
01:05:18 the president regrets to advise you
01:05:21 that he is not a collector of pearls."
01:05:25 "Furthermore, freshwater pearls
01:05:32 "The president has suggested that I..."
01:05:36 Ain't even from the president.
01:05:45 Better not let on about this letter,
01:05:49 I overdone my fun
01:05:53 Now I got to show some money.
01:06:03 I've got to think like your Uncle Zack.
01:06:44 Pardon me, sir. That is a splendid hound.
01:06:47 Thanks. He'll do.
01:06:49 Fox-hunting, raising horses, perhaps a nip
01:06:54 That is the life for a gentleman.
01:06:57 Sure do.
01:06:59 A fair game.
01:07:02 No bet too big or too small.
01:07:06 I think I shall try my luck.
01:07:10 All right.
01:07:20 - Black and odd, gents. Black 17.
01:07:24 - I bet on 17 last time.
01:07:29 - Spin it while I'm riding high.
01:07:33 You do not mind, sir, if I bet modestly?
01:07:35 None too big, none too small, none
01:07:39 How is it you play this game?
01:07:42 Even on black or red.
01:07:45 35 to one by number.
01:07:49 Half a number's 17.
01:07:51 A fair, square game.
01:08:02 If I can help you, sir...
01:08:04 Maybe I ought to find out first
01:08:12 A wise decision.
01:08:15 Bets down, please.
01:08:17 My bones say black.
01:08:21 Black. My favorite color.
01:08:24 Black, then.
01:08:31 Black it is. Black and even.
01:08:34 - You won, Pa.
01:08:37 - Delighted you rode my winner.
01:08:45 What would you advise?
01:08:48 My problem is that when I gamble,
01:08:54 But maybe I should go small again
01:08:58 - Do we play or palaver, gamblers?
01:09:03 If I could catch a number,
01:09:07 - A number?
01:09:10 I wouldn't let myself
01:09:13 - With your luck, strike hard.
01:09:16 No. I'm gonna test her once again.
01:09:21 Four dollars on nine. We'll double it.
01:09:24 Pa!
01:09:26 As you please.
01:09:46 - Nine wins! The red wins!
01:09:49 I won, Pa! Nine won!
01:09:51 - With luck like that...
01:09:55 We won, Pa!
01:09:57 - 280 dollars gold!
01:10:02 - Bets down, gentlemen.
01:10:13 Thanks, gents. Sorry to leave,
01:10:17 That's where me and my boy get off.
01:10:22 - Hold on, my man.
01:10:27 That ain't gambling money. I never meant
01:10:33 Hey there, pilot! Don't stop at Humility!
01:10:37 Good day, gents.
01:10:41 (bell rings)
01:11:01 Hey, pilot! Stop! Humility!
01:11:31 Fly! Dive or die, boys!
01:11:34 (cackles)
01:11:48 - You all right?
01:11:50 (all cheer)
01:11:52 Come on, Eli!
01:11:54 - Who is that man?
01:11:58 That's our boy!
01:12:05 (Zack) Good evening, gents.
01:12:21 Give all the boys here a little nip.
01:12:25 You buying, Mr. Wakefield?
01:12:27 He is. My future partner.
01:12:30 - What'll it be, then?
01:12:36 Drink up, boys. Name it.
01:12:39 All of you.
01:12:48 It's a dream I always had, Elias.
01:12:52 You tricked those gamblers
01:12:56 It's a rich thing, Eli,
01:12:59 Pardon me. My congratulations, sir.
01:13:02 You gave me a lot of entertainment on
01:13:07 I'm sorry. We're late for supper as is.
01:13:11 - Another time, then.
01:13:15 Gentlemen.
01:13:17 A toast to the president
01:13:21 To the president of the United States!
01:13:28 You'll have these jokesmiths
01:13:32 Fletcher!
01:13:38 Here's something by way of commission.
01:13:41 Buy yourself a new snake.
01:13:43 The one you've got
01:13:50 Chicken's coming home to roost,
01:13:53 He's a smart fellow, that Eli Wakefield!
01:13:55 - You gotta take your hat off to him.
01:14:07 (man singing merry song)
01:14:26 - Leave him there, Eli.
01:14:29 No buts about it!
01:15:00 -# Texas!
01:15:02 -# Texas!
01:15:04 # It's a land of promise
01:15:09 # It's a land of promise
01:15:14 # 24 hours a day it's sunny
01:15:18 # Nothing but milk and honey rolling by
01:15:21 # A-rolling by
01:15:23 # I'll tell you no lie
01:15:25 # The money just rolls, the honey just falls
01:15:29 # It's a land of promise
01:15:33 # When you get on tiptoe
01:15:38 Hannah! You gotta help me with Pa!
01:15:41 He won't talk Texas.
01:15:46 (singing continues)
01:15:54 He's making
01:16:00 (whip cracks)
01:16:01 Who dasts?
01:16:06 My mammy was a gator
01:16:09 I can whup my weight in wildcats
01:16:13 (laughs)
01:16:14 Who dasts?
01:16:25 Not you, Stan.
01:16:29 Step up or shut up, folks.
01:16:32 We're loaded for bear.
01:16:50 You better trek for home, son.
01:16:54 That's a Wakefield over there.
01:16:58 - I know it.
01:17:02 Listen.
01:17:03 Cry, you young 'uns, cry, sweethearts,
01:17:09 And weep, you widows in lone homes
01:17:12 when a Wakefield meets a...
01:17:15 - What's your name, fighting man?
01:17:19 - Don't say I didn't tell you, Luke.
01:17:26 I'm not saying you're scared, son.
01:17:29 There might be some that'd say you are.
01:17:33 You can walk away,
01:17:37 Wakefield,
01:17:40 - I ain't got nothing against him.
01:17:44 - Bodine!
01:17:46 I'll keep the peace here
01:17:51 Stan, why don't you stop it?
01:17:55 I'm trying to. Can't you see that, folks?
01:17:58 Don't dare him, Luke.
01:18:01 I dare you.
01:18:05 I double-dare you.
01:18:33 All business? Not one minute to spare?
01:18:39 There!
01:18:44 You haven't told him, have you?
01:18:48 I figured it'd be better
01:18:51 Wakefield! You better come!
01:19:19 - Bodine, for once you've gone too far.
01:19:50 Enough, Wakefield,
01:20:02 Next time, Wakefield, I go for the eyes.
01:20:15 Stop it! Somebody stop it!
01:21:19 Come on, you fool!
01:21:54 Now, Bodine!
01:22:05 Pa! Pa!
01:22:14 (crowd cheers)
01:22:33 (cheering)
01:22:37 You all right, boy?
01:22:47 There's a man for me!
01:22:49 A real Texas man!
01:23:23 We could sit here to talk.
01:23:39 Well, son, I just wanted the three of us
01:23:45 You see... me and Susie...
01:23:51 She'll be a mother for you.
01:23:54 I'll surely try.
01:23:57 (steamboat horn)
01:23:59 We're thinking of you too, boy.
01:24:02 There'll be a home for you, Little Eli.
01:24:07 And boys and girls to play with.
01:24:11 We'll have lots of fun.
01:24:16 No Texas?
01:24:20 Son, we have to say goodbye
01:24:23 They was good things in their time,
01:24:29 You let them tie Faro up.
01:24:34 You made me leave him tied up.
01:24:38 We're getting him used to it.
01:24:40 And you've been lying to me.
01:24:46 You never used to lie.
01:24:48 - Not till we came here, you didn't.
01:24:52 - I never thought I'd hate you, Pa.
01:24:59 Not that, son.
01:25:01 Forget you said it.
01:25:05 I'm trying to be a right father to you.
01:25:08 I'm trying to think
01:25:10 What kind of a man are you coming to be?
01:25:25 You talk cruel, son.
01:25:27 But even if you was right about Texas,
01:25:29 I give my word to Zack, and to Susie here.
01:25:32 You gave your word before.
01:25:35 Please believe in your father.
01:25:50 In all our lives, son,
01:25:52 I don't know as I ever told you
01:25:55 We got along good, you and me,
01:25:57 and I pray God it will be so again.
01:26:03 But now I want you
01:26:06 Throw it away.
01:26:08 Pitch it where we'll never find it,
01:26:13 The way to start off new
01:26:19 Now, boy.
01:28:14 Sometimes...
01:28:21 Sometimes...
01:28:23 Sometime he'll love you.
01:28:25 And me too again.
01:28:34 That girl. The one who works for Bodine.
01:28:39 Hannah?
01:28:41 She caught the whip.
01:28:47 Hannah did?
01:28:49 I stood there helpless.
01:28:54 Hannah did?
01:28:56 Well, I'll swear.
01:29:02 Eli, you're free any time you want to be.
01:29:08 Why, if it came to that,
01:29:13 With hands for a pianoforte?
01:29:16 With an invalid mother?
01:29:19 Oh, Eli!
01:29:22 Sometimes people
01:29:28 Susie.
01:29:30 (short blasts on horn)
01:29:35 He's growed up!
01:29:41 My boy's growed up!
01:29:45 (short blasts on horn)
01:30:25 Hannah?
01:30:27 Oh, Hannah?
01:30:39 Well, I declare! A late visitor.
01:30:43 By accident we're entertaining
01:30:47 They just happened to drop in too.
01:30:58 Come on in, boy.
01:31:02 Gentlemen, we have a visitor.
01:31:05 Little Eli Wakefield.
01:31:14 Who's with you?
01:31:16 Nobody... but my dog.
01:31:19 Where's your pa?
01:31:21 I... I lit out from him.
01:31:24 Little Eli!
01:31:26 A runaway, huh?
01:31:28 He'll be looking for you.
01:31:31 - I'll take him home.
01:31:38 Come, now, gentlemen.
01:31:44 Cut out the fancy talk, Bodine.
01:31:46 We'll keep him. We'll wait for his pa.
01:31:50 We're good at waiting.
01:32:13 Hannah?
01:32:14 - Good morning, sir.
01:32:17 Today I am maid and master,
01:32:20 - Have you seen Little Eli?
01:32:25 - Wakefield.
01:32:28 - Mind if I walk along with you?
01:32:30 Let's go.
01:33:08 As for the money, you don't need it.
01:33:13 - Even so, there's Little Eli and school.
01:33:17 People have to make choices.
01:33:21 It'll be rough in Texas. It'll be hard.
01:33:23 Maybe your son won't be a scholar.
01:33:28 Something truer to himself. And you'll
01:33:33 What's important to your son?
01:33:36 You. You, first of all.
01:33:39 You doing the things you were cut out
01:33:45 Not you imitating your brother.
01:33:47 - Zack's all right.
01:33:50 The Zacks of this world build businesses.
01:33:56 Wakefield.
01:33:57 Call it none of my business,
01:34:14 There's two of 'em.
01:34:17 - How far?
01:34:26 It's that Texas man Babson.
01:34:30 That's your meat.
01:34:32 - Mine?
01:34:35 - Get him away or kill him.
01:34:40 I'm a businessman. I've got a reputation...
01:34:43 Get your gun!
01:34:53 - Typical of me. It isn't even loaded.
01:34:57 - I can't afford to get...
01:35:43 - Men, I'm clean.
01:35:48 I told you where he was.
01:35:50 Tattle and turn tail, that's you.
01:35:55 Now, are you with us...
01:35:57 Or against us?
01:36:04 I'm staying here.
01:36:19 Killed himself.
01:36:28 Stay with the boy
01:36:55 (steamboat horn)
01:36:58 You have today to think it over.
01:37:02 I believe in living it bold.
01:37:04 All right, Wakefield!
01:37:10 Get away, Texas,
01:37:14 - What's this?
01:37:16 Move on, Texas!
01:37:19 - This man is unarmed!
01:37:22 Run, we said!
01:37:24 Run, they said.
01:38:13 Pa! Pa!
01:38:18 I'll go to school, Pa. I'll do anything.
01:38:24 You're safe, Pa. And I'm ashamed.
01:38:30 I ain't so proud, son.
01:38:33 Not of myself.
01:38:41 No, Hannah.
01:38:46 Don't leave us.
01:38:48 We're going to Texas.
01:38:52 We're gonna live it bold.
