en
00:00:44 Ladies and gentlemen
00:00:47 What you are about to experience
00:00:51 It is a review of the events
00:00:56 In less than 15 years, this nation
00:01:02 We do not know
00:01:05 but we do know
00:01:09 And that foundation
00:01:12 but from the anonymous settler.
00:01:15 Their home was but a shack
00:01:20 One door shut out the wind and storm
00:01:26 These brave souls
00:01:30 but the savage instincts of man.
00:01:32 Paving the way
00:01:35 Get the rifle!
00:01:46 So welcome to the real events
00:01:50 of the American frontier.
00:01:52 To whose courage
00:01:56 this piece of history is dedicated.
00:02:07 Or:
00:03:24 Cease action!
00:03:27 From the beginning... one... two...
00:04:16 Are you in costume?
00:04:22 Mr. Salsbury!
00:04:28 What is it?
00:04:31 A horse stepped through him.
00:04:34 Don't touch him.
00:04:37 His name is Brown Horse.
00:04:42 Be careful with him.
00:04:45 Tell Joy not to get on the horse
00:04:49 I was thinking of setting the hut
00:04:54 So one day
00:04:57 I saw this
00:05:01 I take one look at him
00:05:05 I ask him his name.
00:05:09 I say, "What do you do?" He says
00:05:13 Well, I want to write about somebody.
00:05:17 I had all these new plots for Hickok
00:05:20 So I say to the kid
00:05:24 and in 6 months, the whole country
00:05:35 At a church service in Deadwood
00:05:38 I met and rubbed elbows with
00:05:43 I was so impressed
00:05:45 by his skill as a marksman
00:05:50 that I named him
00:05:55 Nate, take a look.
00:05:57 She's doing good with her left hand.
00:06:02 Beautiful. Just like the old missy.
00:06:05 The stories were a big success.
00:06:10 about the legend I created
00:06:15 And I say one thing
00:06:18 "Bill, any youngster figures
00:06:24 best not forget
00:06:27 I want you to back me up
00:06:40 Which is why you've gotta make it
00:06:46 Are you listening to me, Nate?
00:06:48 Ex cuse me, we're trying to have
00:06:52 I don't want to push you, but I am her
00:06:57 Dammit, are you gonna tell him or not?
00:07:01 Maybe you
00:07:05 What can I do for you?
00:07:09 Major Burke's in there with him...
00:07:11 Oh yeah? It's damn important.
00:07:16 Good to see you, Frank.
00:07:18 My glass suddenly got empty. Could you
00:07:23 Thank you, Frank.
00:07:24 My pleasure. If you don't want to
00:07:29 We still want to be part of the show.
00:07:34 I used to play a colored.
00:07:39 When I had to play a colored
00:07:46 Good you can be
00:07:51 Or "Los latiguerros Mexico"
00:07:59 Frank would you mind gettin' out
00:08:03 ...my conference here
00:08:06 Ed!
00:08:09 I thought I said no interruptions.
00:08:13 Adios, pard. Wish me luck.
00:08:15 You got me, you don't need luck.
00:08:21 Everything historical is yours, Bill.
00:08:33 Going past the dispensary?
00:08:39 Major! Yes?
00:08:43 Revolutionize. Injuns. Whites."
00:08:48 You string those pearls together
00:08:51 and write a unique Buffalo Bill fable.
00:08:55 Let me read it when I get back.
00:08:58 I'll even give you the legend.
00:09:14 Ah, Shakespeare of the half dime.
00:09:20 Something's up, Ned. Bill sent
00:09:25 Any ideas?
00:09:31 Injuns and whites
00:09:36 foes in '75, friends in '86.
00:09:39 Foes in '75...
00:09:42 Friends in '86...
00:09:44 Bill's in the big time now.
00:09:50 Now tell me
00:09:55 Sitting Bull!
00:09:58 Is he tame?
00:10:00 What about the army?
00:10:02 They can't shoot him.
00:10:06 So they make a fool of him
00:10:09 A rock ain't a rock once it's gravel.
00:10:13 What'd he mean by "rock and gravel?"
00:10:17 Authors always have their literalisms.
00:10:21 I hear the new act
00:10:24 That's not what we heard.
00:10:27 We know who it is, Eddy.
00:10:29 Sitting Bull.
00:10:33 Is he interested in the show business?
00:10:35 If he wasn't
00:10:39 In my youth I fought
00:10:43 named Standing Bull.
00:10:47 When he sat on the ground
00:10:51 and swore revenge on me
00:10:56 I laughed at him
00:11:00 I tell you, there's
00:11:14 People say that Bill's destroyed his
00:11:20 He wouldn't
00:11:24 So you can put those stories to rest.
00:11:26 But Bill's drinking
00:11:30 2 months ago, Nate Salsbury
00:11:35 And Bill promises solemnly
00:11:39 Till one day Bill says to Nate
00:11:44 and he'll need at least
00:11:47 Of course Bill's daily ration comes in
00:12:25 Ladies and gentlemen
00:12:30 Put it together for William F. Cody
00:13:03 Great start.
00:13:13 See that girl who works
00:13:19 I saw here the other day, between
00:13:24 Don't talk to Annie
00:13:27 You're shaking.
00:13:31 Get everybody to the podium.
00:13:35 The entire company to the podium.
00:13:44 You look very stylish, Missy.
00:13:54 We thought we'd bitten off
00:13:57 And that by enlarging our show
00:14:01 Oh, that's fine, really fine.
00:14:11 We got a serious problem.
00:14:15 Why didn't you tell me?
00:14:18 ...even down to the Indians.
00:14:20 Watch this.
00:14:23 Now, Nate Salsbury doesn't long wind.
00:14:25 But he want's to say
00:14:29 to be part of
00:14:35 I know you'll be upset if he writes
00:14:40 Buntline is here. Say the word
00:14:45 I couldn't do that, Nate.
00:14:48 Look, get rid of him without me
00:15:02 What's going on over there?
00:15:06 He died three days ago.
00:15:09 Wasn't he Shoshone?
00:15:13 I won the medal of honor for killing
00:15:19 Doesn't seem long ago.
00:15:21 You rode into the valley of death
00:15:26 The last thing a man wants to do
00:15:34 That was the best rehearsal yet.
00:15:38 That was a good idea of yours.
00:15:45 Bill?
00:15:48 Money in the bank.
00:15:51 Remember what I told you about
00:15:58 Business is good.
00:16:02 That's 'cause
00:16:06 Show business
00:16:10 I hope it stays that way.
00:16:13 Well, if it ain't nervous Nate.
00:16:17 You're not doing anybody
00:16:21 I ain't in the favor business.
00:16:28 It surely is your camp, ain't it?
00:16:33 Better than I could.
00:16:34 What a citizen you've made of Bill.
00:16:40 Never looks bad in public.
00:16:44 We're going to Codyfy the world.
00:16:47 Why didn't I think of that?
00:16:52 And in the end we always agree.
00:16:54 If two partners always agree
00:17:00 We just signed the most futurable act
00:17:06 Who's the act?
00:17:13 Sitting Bull.
00:17:20 That's quite a coup.
00:17:28 But you tell Bill Cody
00:17:30 that I don't leave
00:17:35 The great chief of the Sioux tribe
00:17:41 And he'll be in the same arena
00:17:46 I'm speaking about...
00:17:49 ...the great counterpoint...
00:18:01 Nate, John's going to ride to
00:18:06 Charm, sincerity, sweetness and
00:18:10 as the recreation of God
00:18:19 Uncle Will
00:18:25 He must be the big one in
00:18:29 I ain't buying no ordinary Indian.
00:18:33 Go help Nate
00:18:41 Great, great event.
00:18:47 He's got more scalps
00:18:51 Ready?
00:19:12 We have met the enemy and he is ours.
00:19:15 That gentle Sweeny
00:19:34 Where's Bill?
00:19:42 Come here and look at Sitting Bull.
00:19:45 That sumbitch must be 7 feet tall!
00:19:51 I'm ready to dispose of my prisoner.
00:19:56 Sitting Bull is no prisoner, he is
00:20:00 He's a murderer and my responsibility
00:20:05 Let me introduce Mr. Nate Salsbury.
00:20:07 Nate, this remarkable character
00:20:11 I trust you had a pleasant trip.
00:20:13 I hate horsebacking, especially
00:20:19 The Wild West Show is not a circus.
00:20:24 and Buffalo Bill has an unerring
00:20:39 That's my star.
00:20:41 He belongs to all of us, Nate.
00:20:45 Our star. America's.
00:21:40 Chief Sitting Bull
00:21:47 I hope you had
00:21:51 Gentlemen, this is a moment
00:21:57 with
00:22:00 Bill, I have the distinct pleasure
00:22:04 of presenting Chief Sitting Bull.
00:22:07 Chief, I'm pleased to present to you
00:22:09 the Honorable William F. Cody
00:22:15 I would like to
00:22:21 and extend a titanically momentous
00:22:28 Now me and my staff are
00:22:32 And what we do
00:22:39 Hiya, Chief!
00:22:42 It's the runt.
00:22:47 My name is William Halsey.
00:22:53 His long incarceration
00:22:56 and he wishes to rest.
00:23:00 What's incarceration?
00:23:04 Halsey's a white name, isn't it?
00:23:08 Got some white blood in you, Halsey?
00:23:15 Halsey, tell your chief
00:23:18 that the people standing here
00:23:21 are part of the finest spectacle
00:23:25 I've watched them grow
00:23:28 to personages of importance.
00:23:31 Tell your chief
00:23:34 And after on season in this show
00:23:39 for a below average
00:23:43 Plus he'll have something
00:23:50 Long trip, huh, Chief?
00:23:55 I just wanted to welcome you here
00:24:01 You'll find it ain't
00:24:04 Gentlemen, Injuns...
00:24:17 Why didn't you tell me
00:24:21 How big is he off the horse?
00:24:26 Don't worry.
00:24:34 So Sitting Bull's the little fellow.
00:24:37 He doesn't look so savage.
00:24:41 Sitting Bull's famous
00:24:46 I hope Bill can handle him.
00:24:54 I don't think it disappropriate
00:24:58 We all know
00:25:02 but history...
00:25:05 ...real history...
00:25:09 The man I'm about to celebrate is not
00:25:16 but the true monarch of genuity.
00:25:26 Scout, show man
00:25:29 family person, valued partner...
00:25:47 America's National Entertainer
00:25:58 Sitting Bull won't live
00:26:02 What was that? Sitting Bull doesn't
00:26:08 What's wrong?
00:26:09 He didn't say why.
00:26:16 He wants to live across the river!
00:26:18 If you're smart you'll lock them
00:26:22 Nobody can cross that river.
00:26:25 Impossible. We've already lost
00:26:31 and a bargeload of show
00:26:44 Impossible to cross, huh?
00:26:52 That's exactly where I want him
00:26:57 That way I can watch him
00:27:02 The difference between
00:27:07 in a situation like this
00:27:13 to know an Injun
00:27:17 Laugh it up, boys.
00:27:23 Uncle Will
00:27:57 Shall we call for help?
00:28:01 Shouldn't we holler for help?
00:28:03 I'll handle this. Bill, Sitting Bull's
00:28:09 Our unpredictable friends seem to be
00:28:16 They crossed the river again
00:28:20 They did, huh?
00:28:28 Sonia, finish that later.
00:28:31 Well, Chief...
00:28:35 A twilight raid, huh?
00:28:38 What's on your mind?
00:28:40 Sitting Bull is here
00:28:44 By their will he is chief.
00:28:46 His heart is red, sweet, for whatever
00:28:51 The bears taste the honey
00:28:55 The Great Spirits have chosen
00:29:02 Halsey
00:29:05 tell Sitting Bull
00:29:08 his leaves can turn how he wants, so
00:29:15 I think I gave him back
00:29:21 What Buffalo Bill means...
00:29:24 Buffalo Bill means that Sitting Bull
00:29:29 for thousands of paying customers.
00:29:32 Sitting Bull says history
00:29:37 When did he say that?
00:29:39 Sitting Bull's mind is rested
00:29:43 What? That's been done. Right, Burke?
00:29:47 Sitting Bull wants blankets.
00:29:50 They're cold. Couldn't we write
00:29:55 Sitting Bull
00:29:58 Hold on. What do you think
00:30:02 There are only 106
00:30:07 106?
00:30:10 God, Burke, five years ago we
00:30:15 Mr. Halsey, we're delighted
00:30:18 to give the blankets
00:30:22 Burke, get a story out
00:30:25 Splash it over the front pages.
00:30:32 A fascinating follow up
00:30:36 Negotiations settled.
00:30:41 See that he doesn't steal anything.
00:30:45 Sitting Bull want 6 weeks salary
00:30:48 He wants what?
00:30:51 Music box.
00:31:09 Halsey, there's
00:31:13 And he will own his own photographs.
00:31:19 Sitting Bull says his face belongs
00:31:24 My ass!
00:31:28 Nate!
00:31:29 That's robbery, and he knows it!
00:31:35 We won't put up with it.
00:31:37 It's bedlam in here.
00:31:43 Margaret!
00:31:45 Stop that singing.
00:31:53 You see?
00:31:55 You've upset Buffalo Bill.
00:31:58 Halsey, tell the chief
00:32:00 we pay for work performed.
00:32:03 If he wants to sign a six month
00:32:08 No contract.
00:32:10 All the other top acts have them.
00:32:15 Why couldn't he?
00:32:17 Sitting Bull stays only until he sees
00:32:21 Yes.
00:32:23 Did Burke promise you that?
00:32:26 Sitting Bull no longer accepts
00:32:29 His dreams told him
00:32:32 He is here because he dreamed
00:32:38 Dead on, Bill.
00:32:40 What does she say this time?
00:32:44 "Dear husband, your deeds
00:32:48 compared to your adventures
00:32:54 Dead on, Bill!
00:33:02 "You are also the cheapest man who
00:33:08 That's Mr. Oakley.
00:33:16 "I have instructed my lawyers
00:33:21 ensuring our separation
00:33:24 I want you to miss this one
00:33:29 Take your time.
00:33:31 You can miss by a lot, darling.
00:33:37 Good, right in the middle.
00:33:39 Did you want to hit it in the middle?
00:33:41 "...your wife, Lulu."
00:33:58 I'm gettin' longer cigars. You'll feel
00:34:06 Buffalo Bill, monarch of the West
00:34:09 it delights me to present this
00:34:14 this curvacious cadenza in
00:34:20 this collation
00:34:24 this cultivated
00:34:29 words fails me...
00:34:34 Handel's "Rinaldo."
00:34:50 What a shot you are.
00:34:54 My second husband, Count Eggenweiler
00:34:59 Trap shooting's a different thing
00:35:04 ...deceased...
00:35:06 ...husband.
00:35:10 A pistol
00:35:15 Burke, take the lady
00:35:22 Morning, girls!
00:35:25 What's going on?
00:35:28 Here's you scenario.
00:35:31 About Cleveland. First, he's marrying
00:35:36 Second, he's got a Republican
00:35:39 I think we can give Bull the money.
00:35:42 we've got him for life.
00:35:45 Bring Sitting Bull and Halsey over.
00:35:50 Keep those tempos tight, Bill!
00:35:53 Is the grey alright?
00:35:57 Morning, chief.
00:36:00 Halsey if you and the chief
00:36:04 he'll be part of America's family.
00:36:06 If you're gonna watch
00:36:09 Ah, by the way
00:36:10 you can tell the chief
00:36:14 2 weeks salary
00:36:17 Sitting Bull admires the big grey.
00:36:21 Say hello to Buffalo Bill.
00:36:24 That bird can't get out, can it?
00:36:28 We're the only ones who show the red
00:36:37 Hello, Chief.
00:36:42 Nate, get this thing going.
00:36:49 I see General George Armstrong Custer
00:36:53 leads the men of the 7 th cavalry
00:36:58 known as "Little Big Horn."
00:37:00 Custer bearing the wounds of
00:37:06 Suddenly Indians appear
00:37:08 led by the fiercest of 'em all
00:37:12 Chief Sitting Bull!
00:37:15 Chief, you got a colored
00:37:19 'cause he's the closest we got
00:37:23 Custer knows
00:37:29 Sitting Bull uses an old Injun ploy.
00:37:34 He hates Custer.
00:37:37 It's gonna be an honorable duel
00:37:46 But George gets shot in the back
00:37:51 Sitting Bull says
00:37:55 Sitting Bull
00:37:59 He was making medicine and dreaming.
00:38:01 He saw many horses upside down
00:38:04 and blue skeletons
00:38:11 Why's he shooting? Put that down
00:38:15 Sitting Bull thinks you're
00:38:18 how you killed
00:39:05 Someday my hair's
00:39:09 ...was.
00:39:57 Margaret, I've been thinking about us.
00:40:02 The more I think about us
00:40:08 That ain't good for the Wild West.
00:40:13 That little bastard
00:40:17 I can't deal with him
00:40:20 and be my best with the both.
00:40:23 I'm trying to say
00:40:28 And the quicker you go
00:41:27 Margaret, go on.
00:41:32 Halsey!
00:41:34 What are you doing here?
00:41:36 Sitting Bull came to tell you
00:41:43 The sun ain't hardly up yet.
00:41:46 Sitting Bull's thoughts
00:41:52 Let me get myself together.
00:41:54 Go and sit down.
00:42:05 What's going on?
00:42:09 I don't know
00:42:13 I'll go get your uncle.
00:42:28 What's happening?
00:42:30 Damn Injun caught me with my...
00:42:34 Bull kept everybody up.
00:42:50 My father has promised me this land.
00:42:55 The rivers flow
00:42:59 The wind blows the echoes of lies.
00:43:11 That is a great
00:43:24 You'll build
00:43:27 Sitting Bull's people will be working.
00:43:31 They're waiting for Colonel McLaren
00:43:36 The unarmed Sioux embrace
00:43:41 Then McLaren will slaughter
00:43:52 He's tolerable.
00:43:54 It'll work.
00:43:57 You could come on
00:44:10 This is what Sitting Bull
00:44:53 Chief
00:44:56 we haven't had a heart to heart
00:45:00 I've listened to Halsey.
00:45:04 He's got guts, 'cause he did
00:45:08 He called me a coward.
00:45:11 women, old men, and children.
00:45:17 And dogs.
00:45:19 Yeah, dogs.
00:45:23 You get what I'm saying?
00:45:34 You have till noon to get outta here!
00:45:38 You're finished! Fired! Through!
00:45:43 How could that little runt
00:45:46 It's harder
00:45:49 Everything on this side
00:45:54 What's this?
00:45:57 I'll pack the guns now.
00:46:01 Uncle Will!
00:46:05 Something awful bad... Annie...
00:46:11 She going through with it?
00:46:13 Looks like it. We all spoke to her.
00:46:17 I can usually steer her where you want
00:46:22 Why's everything a problem here?
00:46:26 Money might help.
00:46:28 Money has nothing to do with it.
00:46:32 What about my principles?
00:46:37 Wait a minute. I can't let her go.
00:46:42 I'll talk to her, but I won't change
00:46:47 If it comes up, or if it'll help
00:46:52 And you take this.
00:46:56 How would you like this?
00:46:59 Here, take it.
00:47:06 We got problems.
00:47:10 I could expect disrespect
00:47:17 Why are you in the middle of this?
00:47:23 He wants to show the truth.
00:47:27 Because I got
00:47:30 Besides, I
00:47:32 Not some Injun runt
00:47:38 You got any whiskey?
00:47:43 If you send Bull back
00:47:46 That is not my problem.
00:47:48 You can have this.
00:48:04 The little bastard can stay.
00:48:44 Ladies and gentlemen
00:48:46 I'm Nate Salsbury, and on behalf
00:48:51 we welcome you to the season's
00:48:55 Mr. Cody, we're ready
00:49:01 ...Buffalo Bill's Wild West!
00:49:07 And what would the Wild West be
00:49:12 You're on in 2 minutes.
00:49:26 You have to go in the carriage.
00:49:50 God, they're gonna make lots of dust.
00:49:55 The brave cowboys
00:49:59 so that you, our guests, can witness
00:50:05 without bodily risk
00:50:13 And pursuing the brave and powerful
00:50:17 America's national hero
00:50:46 Yes, he was truly born to entertain.
00:50:50 No ordinary man would ever take credit
00:50:52 for acts of bravery and
00:50:56 And no ordinary man would realize
00:51:01 by telling a pack of lies
00:51:06 No, Bill Cody
00:51:11 And when his senses fail him
00:51:14 he might see things
00:51:21 And now
00:51:28 would you join in the singing of
00:51:31 Buffalo Bill's
00:51:36 by Francis Scott Key
00:51:39 "Oh Say, Can You See."
00:51:41 It is Buffalo Bill's belief
00:51:44 that this could and should be
00:51:50 Would you please rise.
00:53:11 And now
00:53:15 we present to you
00:53:20 The world's foremost woman marksman
00:53:24 the fearless Annie Oakley!
00:53:32 Assisted by Frank "the world's most
00:54:01 Steady.
00:54:04 Tell him to steady the cigar.
00:54:13 Coward.
00:54:25 We love you, Annie.
00:55:05 Move that horse.
00:55:14 For her grand finale, Miss Oakley
00:55:20 will attempt a new shot
00:55:23 She will split a bullet with the axe
00:55:27 hitting both targets simultaneously.
00:55:30 Take your time, honey.
00:55:36 Please remain as quiet as possible.
00:55:45 The bullet must split
00:55:49 Is that possible?
00:55:56 Oh, how close!
00:56:01 She missed, but so close!
00:56:06 Nate, once again.
00:56:09 What? Frank, again.
00:56:14 We love you anyway.
00:56:20 Wait, I lost my hat.
00:56:26 You ready?
00:56:28 Stay with us, Lord.
00:56:59 Annie, where you going?
00:57:04 Annie, take a bow.
00:57:07 Frank, what will you do?
00:57:13 And now, ladies and gentlemen
00:57:15 here's a man who can
00:57:20 Say hello to
00:57:31 Alright, the Bull banner.
00:57:39 You're on next.
00:57:42 Halsey
00:57:44 tell Bull he's going to discover
00:57:48 He'll be back here begging me
00:57:53 Sitting Bull's going to suffer
00:57:57 Custer got to die.
00:58:02 The most murderous
00:58:08 Here he comes
00:58:09 the battling chief
00:58:14 Sitting Bull!
01:01:11 Morning! You're up.
01:01:18 Listen, I...
01:01:23 It was opening night
01:01:27 I don't like them to drink alone.
01:01:32 I must have been
01:01:39 You look real pretty in that light.
01:01:44 Actually...
01:01:48 I've become a morning man.
01:01:52 There's no pressure.
01:01:56 And the whiskey we get here
01:02:07 Say good morning
01:02:10 Hi, bird. He's OK in there?
01:02:16 What are they doing?
01:02:22 You have to help him.
01:02:25 Alright.
01:02:31 You just stretch out there.
01:02:46 Put him down.
01:02:58 Son of a bitch!
01:03:14 There's only squaws over there.
01:03:18 Nate! Burke! Get over here!
01:03:22 Goddamn!
01:03:27 Stay behind the tent!
01:03:34 Problems? Take a look up there
01:03:42 Sitting Bull's making his exit.
01:03:48 Buck Taylor, get across the river
01:03:59 Look at that boy go!
01:04:02 The Injuns.
01:04:06 My God.
01:04:09 Why is it so dark in here?
01:04:12 Hey, son, get down.
01:04:20 Gotcha!
01:04:30 Boys, I want a posse. A tough posse.
01:04:37 There's no way to outfox a fox.
01:04:39 We're not taking this lying down.
01:04:42 You horse son of a bitch
01:04:55 Damn... damn.
01:04:59 I got trouble on my hands.
01:05:03 No. The Injuns.
01:05:07 They've escaped.
01:05:09 No, just the dangerous ones.
01:05:14 How long will you be gone?
01:05:18 You know I'd never let anything
01:05:23 ...unless it was something real
01:05:32 Goddammit! Where's my real jacket?
01:05:43 Well
01:05:46 Knowing that you're
01:05:51 will serve to stiffen my resolve.
01:05:56 How could you be so clumsy?
01:06:01 I hate birds.
01:06:03 Cody, don't you ever harm
01:06:08 Ed, where you going?
01:06:12 Your mother would be furious.
01:06:35 Where's the Indian
01:07:29 When Bill's dressed for a ride
01:07:34 any doubts
01:07:38 Yes, Bill's fine physical portrait
01:07:44 But any tracker will tell you
01:07:48 if you don't know what you're after
01:08:19 There they are, Uncle Will!
01:08:23 Control yourself.
01:08:29 It's a question of law and order.
01:08:35 Here they come.
01:08:38 Now as they come over the ridge
01:08:42 Wait a minute.
01:08:44 I don't see Sitting Bull.
01:08:48 No. They're not there. They must be
01:08:55 I don't see Sitting Bull.
01:09:01 Maybe they just didn't find them.
01:09:04 Oh, they found them. No Injun
01:09:09 Maybe they're dressed in our clothes.
01:09:14 But no down stick.
01:09:18 They're not there.
01:09:21 Oh, my God.
01:09:23 I don't see any Indians with them.
01:09:29 But Bill's the greatest
01:09:33 He led fifteen
01:09:37 into territory he knows better
01:09:42 looking for an old man
01:10:43 It's not your fault, Bill.
01:10:46 We made it clear
01:10:50 Nate's right.
01:10:56 Better tell
01:10:59 "Sitting Bull escapes after first
01:11:05 I sure thought you'd catch him.
01:11:10 Ed, why don't you go close the gate?
01:11:29 I never saw him refuse a drink before.
01:11:33 I don't care what anyone says.
01:11:36 God bless Buffalo Bill!
01:11:39 God! He shot himself!
01:11:49 Damn bird.
01:11:59 Get out of here. Sit down.
01:12:04 Damn bird!
01:12:17 Well, I hate birds.
01:12:20 Me, too.
01:12:35 Bull and Halsey are out there.
01:12:40 They must have tracked us.
01:12:58 Come on in, boys.
01:13:02 Couple of buffs got loose.
01:13:07 Too bad you couldn't join us.
01:13:12 It's the first moon of the month.
01:13:17 During the 1st moon
01:13:22 and the squaws
01:13:25 Stop sunning and mooning us
01:13:29 You were up in the mountains? Yes.
01:13:35 Sitting Bull knows the mountains.
01:13:38 What if I had sent someone after you?
01:13:42 In the mountains, Sitting Bull
01:13:48 Well, now we're back in business.
01:13:52 I don't understand.
01:13:56 Sitting Bull will do the only thing
01:14:01 And what is that?
01:14:03 Sitting Bull
01:14:14 Responsibility is a funny thing.
01:14:18 It's different for stars
01:14:20 Please, Buntline, this man's in pain.
01:14:23 That's why stars spend
01:14:27 To see if their good looks
01:14:30 Not now, Mr. Buntline, please.
01:14:33 A star like Buffalo Bill Cody
01:14:38 it becomes a commitment.
01:14:42 The only way
01:14:45 I could have avoided
01:14:49 is if he never went to the mountain.
01:14:52 Now I can understand
01:14:56 He's got to look good
01:15:02 But I'm generous and flexible.
01:15:06 That's good, generous and flexible.
01:15:08 Ladies and gentlemen
01:15:12 we have specified for you.
01:15:15 Welcome, braves.
01:15:18 Wranglers on the Deadwood coach
01:15:21 I know the ladies
01:15:24 but it'll blur the picture.
01:15:28 This is a very impressive assemblage.
01:15:32 Nate, would you convey
01:15:37 I'm generous and flexible.
01:15:40 Bill!
01:15:45 Generous and flexible.
01:15:49 I choose to overlook
01:15:57 100 years from now, this photo
01:16:02 This is the way
01:16:07 Bill, good morning!
01:16:10 Ladies and gentlemen, Injuns
01:16:17 Get ready.
01:16:19 Look at the birdy!
01:16:24 Hold it!
01:16:30 I don't want Sitting Bull next to
01:16:34 'Cause I don't want
01:16:37 The fans won't like it.
01:16:49 I don't want
01:16:55 Um... Halsey...
01:16:57 It'd be a better idea, with
01:17:00 the sun factor, if you and the chief
01:17:05 Sitting Bull
01:17:09 Why don't you just
01:17:15 Sitting Bull
01:17:23 I swear he plans these things.
01:17:26 What do you want to do?
01:17:32 We'll put Halsey's face and hat
01:17:36 and Sitting Bull's on
01:17:39 That way those two Injuns
01:17:42 And don't show him the photograph.
01:17:46 Buffalo Bill says it was better
01:17:54 Everybody hold your breath now!
01:18:13 Hold it a minute. Hey, Dart!
01:18:16 Come here!
01:18:19 Wayne, will you... Dart
01:18:28 A wire just came from the President.
01:18:32 It's for real.
01:18:36 A wire came from
01:18:51 Who told you?
01:19:10 You may take the photograph now.
01:19:16 Injuns gear their lives to dreams.
01:19:19 And when he dreams
01:19:22 he'll wait till he dies
01:19:26 White men, they're different.
01:19:29 They only dream
01:19:33 I'm no expert on the subject
01:19:35 but what Bull does is a lot cheaper
01:19:40 which is just dreaming out loud.
01:19:42 "The Honorable William F. Cody."
01:19:44 "Grover Cleveland, President
01:19:47 has chosen to make the first stop
01:19:52 in Buffalo Bill's
01:19:57 The scheduled time of arrival
01:20:03 Night!
01:20:10 Uncle Will, it's just like
01:20:14 I bring up this dream business
01:20:17 things are starting to
01:20:22 Just think for a minute.
01:20:25 Put yourself in his place.
01:20:29 Then you go to wherever
01:20:34 And you wait
01:20:36 Mr. President, Mrs. Cleveland
01:20:40 ...honored guests.
01:20:47 And I can tell you
01:20:50 has never been as proud in his
01:20:57 to present our very first
01:21:03 and to dedicate it to you
01:21:08 and your fine, new wife.
01:21:12 Ed's in the box.
01:21:16 laughing it up with the President
01:21:20 Grover Cleveland.
01:21:22 That bear is a star!
01:21:28 He's bigger than you are.
01:21:32 Meet America's national entertainer
01:21:36 the man who IS the Wild West
01:21:41 William F. Cody
01:21:44 Buffalo Bill!
01:22:26 Mr. President
01:22:27 Mrs. Cleveland
01:22:30 I want to take this occasion
01:22:36 Most people will tell you
01:22:38 that it's the father
01:22:45 And may the sun
01:22:49 unless
01:22:53 Mr. President
01:23:01 Buffalo Bill writes all
01:23:08 All great men do.
01:23:50 Beautiful.
01:24:00 Just like day, darling.
01:24:06 What a shot!
01:24:08 He loves it.
01:24:13 It's freezing, come on!
01:24:17 Not yet.
01:24:23 OK... now!
01:24:29 Isn't that amazing, my dear?
01:24:31 Yes.
01:24:57 You hit him, Annie.
01:25:02 She got him.
01:25:09 Is this part of the act?
01:25:16 Quick, I'm going to faint.
01:25:27 I'm bleeding to death. Don't run.
01:25:41 The tomahawk they carry
01:25:48 and peace and goodwill
01:26:10 Presenting Chief Sitting Bull.
01:26:53 What's he saying?
01:26:55 I don't understand a word
01:26:59 But I can guess.
01:27:06 He was joking.
01:27:08 He's got a sense of humor.
01:27:16 His way of making the grey mare dance.
01:27:51 To Sitting Bull and his dancing grey.
01:27:54 Or President Cleveland's
01:28:39 Now everybody remember
01:28:43 and most of all, be yourself.
01:28:51 This means a lot to the troopers.
01:29:11 How are you?
01:29:14 No, no, Annie never misses.
01:29:45 Frank, where've you been?
01:29:48 Pregnant.
01:29:51 Congratulations, Mrs. Poole.
01:29:55 I sang it at the Teatro del Roma
01:30:01 And I sang...
01:30:18 I never seen
01:30:25 You were impeccable.
01:30:28 Here we go. Champagne
01:30:32 Can Nina sing now?
01:30:36 Our distinguished and delightful
01:30:42 Quiet, please.
01:30:46 For your entertainment
01:30:48 my dear friend
01:30:56 ..."Qui sola vergin rosa"
01:34:27 Brava!
01:34:30 You know, that's the nicest
01:34:36 What a cultivated lady she is.
01:34:41 Why don't you stay for a few days?
01:34:46 I'd love to
01:34:49 but my secret life with
01:35:08 Why are you?
01:35:11 Great Father is here in answer to
01:35:15 You weren't invited to this party.
01:35:18 No more Bull!
01:35:20 You go.
01:35:24 Let them in, Mr. Gordman.
01:35:26 The chief is a wonderful comedian.
01:35:32 Great Father, Sitting Bull
01:35:38 Mr. Halsey, I remind you that
01:35:43 This request will satisfy
01:35:48 Remember that I'm only "Great Father"
01:35:55 And another thing
01:35:58 I suggest
01:36:00 We have.
01:36:04 Doesn't that indicate
01:36:06 This request is simple.
01:36:14 Sitting Bull's request is simple.
01:36:17 Sitting Bull dreamed he would
01:36:21 He hoped the Great Father
01:36:24 I'm sorry
01:36:27 But you haven't heard
01:36:30 But it doesn't make any difference.
01:36:40 What a confrontation.
01:36:47 We've had a delightful day with you.
01:36:52 Mr. President
01:36:54 I now see why you're President.
01:36:58 The basic, pioneer perception.
01:37:02 The difference between a President
01:37:04 and a chief in a situation like this
01:37:08 is a President knows enough
01:37:13 Remember that.
01:37:16 Well, Mr. President
01:37:21 and want to hit the hay.
01:37:27 It's hardly ever been used.
01:37:30 Where will you sleep?
01:37:34 I'll sleep on the prairie
01:37:39 the lullaby of the coyotes.
01:37:41 You see, I ain't
01:37:48 It's a man like that
01:38:22 Hello there, Dart.
01:38:25 Is your work done, boy?
01:38:29 That's good. It's a shame the Injuns
01:38:33 But then they'd have nothin' to
01:38:41 I ain't never thanked you for giving
01:38:46 No need. It's part of my upbringing.
01:38:52 How's that?
01:38:54 My daddy was killed
01:38:58 Why'd he do that?
01:39:02 instead of letting 'em become slaves
01:39:08 Trying to protect you.
01:39:10 And he caught
01:39:14 You want a drink. I'll buy.
01:39:18 No, sir. It's already late
01:39:22 I've got to feed your horse.
01:39:42 Where's the Old Bonded, Crutch?
01:39:53 Well, I'll be damned!
01:40:00 Buy an old friend a drink?
01:40:10 I was beginning
01:40:13 But here you are in the flesh
01:40:18 You sure passed me by.
01:40:20 Like watching a seed grow into
01:40:26 You got everything you ever wanted.
01:40:29 You even have the President of the US
01:40:34 Let's forget that, Ned
01:40:37 I can't forget it.
01:40:41 So live it.
01:40:44 In 100 years
01:40:48 You're no longer one of the boys.
01:40:53 It gives me goose bumps
01:41:00 You still got the knack
01:41:03 You make it easy, Bill.
01:41:09 And I'd like to have you
01:41:13 But, frankly, Nate
01:41:18 Nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
01:41:23 You ain't changed, Bill.
01:41:25 I ain't supposed to.
01:41:30 Well
01:41:33 This has been a sobering experience.
01:41:35 Damn near a religious awakening.
01:41:42 Buffalo Bill...
01:41:44 What a thrill to have invented you.
01:41:51 What do I owe you for my stay?
01:41:54 Nothing, Mr. Buntline.
01:41:58 Thanks, Crutch.
01:42:03 Nothing.
01:42:04 I'm off to California to preach
01:42:14 Ned.
01:42:24 See you around.
01:42:26 See you in hell, Bill.
01:42:49 I want to cut the glass blowers.
01:42:53 When you were in Europe
01:42:56 Yes, they're still talking about you.
01:43:00 This'll be our biggest year yet.
01:43:04 I ever tell you I hold the record for
01:43:09 322 miles in 18 days.
01:43:14 Sit down and have a drink.
01:43:18 Yeah, well, I feel great.
01:43:24 Marty, did I ever tell you that I hold
01:43:28 320 and some odd miles
01:44:13 Big news.
01:44:18 They've shot Sitting Bull... dead.
01:44:20 I'll be damned.
01:44:33 What is it?
01:44:47 McLaughlin's police, at standing rock.
01:44:59 He was riding the grey
01:45:02 The horse danced
01:45:11 Who's going to tell Bill? Nobody.
01:45:56 I don't dream.
01:45:59 Must be somebody out...
01:46:04 I'm not alone.
01:46:17 Oh no, don't buckle.
01:46:28 I hate women. I hate them!
01:46:33 Cost me a lot of wampum.
01:47:06 Alright, suit yourself.
01:47:26 You ain't even the right image.
01:47:30 Halsey, get out here.
01:47:34 Tell the chief you've got
01:47:37 Chief!
01:47:43 Ex cept Halsey
01:47:48 Which is why he sounds so real.
01:47:52 Real...
01:47:54 Let me show you something about real.
01:48:04 I was a boy.
01:48:11 Nine.
01:48:13 I was nine.
01:48:15 I caught this big buff
01:48:17 right smack in the middle.
01:48:47 God meant for me to be white.
01:48:55 God meant for me to be white.
01:48:58 And it ain't easy.
01:49:00 I got people with no lives
01:49:04 living through me. Proud people.
01:49:10 And another thing.
01:49:13 My daddy died without seeing me
01:49:19 Profitable, good looking.
01:49:22 Custer was a star.
01:49:24 He was a good man.
01:49:27 He gave coffee and sugar.
01:49:29 Don't.
01:49:32 He gave the Indians
01:49:42 Damn you!
01:49:49 In 100 years...
01:49:53 ...I'll still be
01:49:57 And you'll be the Injun.
01:50:02 My God, look at you.
01:50:07 You want to stay the same.
01:50:11 Well, that's going backwards.
01:50:16 Buntline...
01:50:33 I'm curious, Chief.
01:50:36 My friends are curious.
01:50:40 My fans are curious.
01:50:43 And they pay me for it.
01:50:45 I give them what they expect.
01:50:48 You can't live up to what you expect.
01:50:51 That makes you
01:50:54 You don't even know
01:51:01 The difference
01:51:03 between a white man
01:51:08 is that an Injun is red.
01:51:12 And an Injun is red
01:51:17 To tell us apart.
01:51:25 So we can tell us apart.
01:51:29 My God
01:51:32 ain't he riding that horse right?
01:51:35 If he ain't...
01:51:40 then how come
01:51:54 You see
01:52:00 I ain't got nobody to talk to.
01:52:06 Ex cept you.
01:52:08 And you ain't even there.
01:52:11 Carve it.
01:52:15 Yeah, carve it...
01:52:20 Carve our names.
01:52:23 And celebrate the event.
01:52:25 Ladies and gentlemen.
01:52:28 For the first time in the history of
01:52:33 and William F. Cody present a conflict
01:52:36 between two of the greatest
01:52:41 staged with spectacular realism.
01:52:44 Behold Chief Sitting Bull
01:52:48 who has murdered more white men
01:52:52 spoiled more white women
01:52:56 This bloodthirsty leader
01:52:59 has challenged Buffalo Bill
01:53:03 Sitting Bull
01:53:16 Buffalo Bill, called "Pahaska" which
01:53:21 accepts the challenge
