- are they... - both dead.d. - my fault. all my fault. it's all my fault. - no it isn't, henry. whatever fault there is must be shared by a number of people. you, bryant, bryant's men, me. - you don't understand, it's my fault guillermo's deaea i could have killed bryant's man

before you came west, the most violent thing you'd ever b bn involved in was a pillow fight in a harvard dormitory. this is a different world. - are you saying we don't belong here, mr. paladin? no, mrs. prince. i'm saying you both have a very painful adjustmenen to make. - well, it's true. we don't belong here. i don't want to kill. i don't want to be killed. i've had enough. - now henry, don't get upset. - - ery time i go to town, i get run out. i'm expecting 500 head of cattle, i'm facing arsonists and gunfighters. no, i've had enonoh. i'll sell out to bryant for anything he offers. - henry, i'm not going to run anymore. - what do you expect me to do? - we've been running ever since we were married. no more. - but you don't understand. in the east, it was just unpleasant. out here it's impossible! i can't be what i'm not!

nry. if you give in to bryant... i'll leave you forever. perhaps i'd rather be a live bachelor,, than a dead husband. (distant mooing and shouting) what's that? - looks like 500 head of cattle arriving. - gloria...

(paladin) - my advice is to put them in the lower pasture l ld. - all right. - we'll have to ride the fence, to be sure bryant's men haven't t t it.

(guns firing) those are bryant's men. - we'll have to stop them. - nqh, it's too late for that. all we can d d is get ahead of the herd, and turn them when they tire. hyah-- hyah! hyah. hyah. (shouting) hyah, hyah! hyah.

- what are you going to do about this, mr. paladin? - well, what do you suggest i do, mrs. prince. we got the cattle back. - i suggest that you retaliate. how else are we going to stop them? - you're a beautiful woman, mrs. prince. a beautiful woman, and a very talented actress. but you're also a very dedending wife. you don't like violence. you want to fight, but you don't want anyone to be hurt. - is that all? - you married henry because he was cultured and charming. and now you're impatient with him, because he can't be hard and ruthless. you don't want him to be like me. you want to use me, and yet you have no respect for my profession. - the issue is, mr. paladin, that a band of ruffians

instead you evade your responsibility by criticizing us. by making us think that we are wrong. - right and wrong are not that easy to decide. you bought this land out, from people who bled and sweat and died f f it. you did not take those people into consideration. you laid down your inherited money, moved in and expected them to like it. for right and wrong here. - henry, do you have anything to say about this? - why don't you consider the possibility

- do you really think she's leaving? - that sounded like it. - i love her very much, you know. i'd do anything to keeppfro. - well let her go into town tonight, she can stay in the hotel. - shouldn't i try to stop her? - she can't get a stage out 'til tomorrow afternoon. by then, she'll have been able to realize that if she leaves, she'll miss you. - well, now what am i supposed to do? of your herd. tomorrow i want you to put a notice up in town, offering to hire men at a higher wage than bryant's paying. - bryant won't like that. - no, he won't. but you're goingng to p, and you're going to keep it up, just the same. - what you said to gloria about my opponents... i never realized they had so much right on their side. - that's not an unusual circumstance, henry.

- sorry about last night. i lost my head. - that's all right-- what's your proposition? - it's a woman, mr. paladin. i got woman trouble. - $1000 worth? - we were gonna be married. i was ramrod and chief cattle buyer for pete hollister.. he sent me off to texas to buy some cattle. when i got b bk to the ranch, she was mrs. hollister. when you were the intended bridegroom. - singer in the orofino in fresno. sings like a bird. you ought to hear her. she was too good for that. she's too good for hollister,r,oo. he forced her into marrying him. - mr. blakely, i've found that forcing a woman to do anything - is very difficult. - yeah? well he did it just the same. paid me a year's wages. had me thrown off the ranch. - did the lady ever explain her change of affection?

a couple of his hands jumped me, beat me up. i really need your help, paladin. - i'm not for hire as a home breaker. - all i want to do is talk to faye. to find out whether she's hollister's prisoner or... or his wife. - how much time do you figure you need? - ten minutes. then i'll know whether she still loves me or not. - ten minutes. $1000. - will you take the job? to break up another man's marriage, i'll get y y the ten minutes. - when do we start? - juststs soon as we finish this coffee. - uh-oh. here comes trouble. - who are they?

if you didn't have that gun, i'd beat the brains out of both of you. - i'm not interested in disproving that. i'm looking for mrs. hollister. - go ahead and find her. but remember, she's my wife. - i'll remember. - i'm gonna see peg no matter r at you do, pete. i'm gonna see her. - now remember this. if either of you set foot on this ranch again, i'll personally see that you're killed. now git.

() come in. - good morning. - good morning, darling. - careful, dear.r. i'v. and how are you this morning, mr. paladin? - that's a very attractive dress. - do you like it? i fofod it downstairs in that quaint little shop. oh, i charged it to my bill here. is that all right, dear? - oh, sure... sure. you have to have clothes. - would you like to sit down, mrs. hollister? - thank you. - you had breakfast? may i call downstairs for... - no, i never eat a thing before noon. just some lemon juice. my voice, you know. well, my voice teacher arranged an audition

have a very good friend, signor vittorio bartellini. formerly of la scala and now the foremost opera impresario in the united states. i'm certaiaii could arrange a private audition. - oh, mr. paladin. - would three o'clock be convenient? - oh, but i don't have my music. i'll need an accompanist. - i'd be honored to accompany you. - yoyo well, all right. do you know "la sonnambula?" - "la sonnambula?" you're not going to sing that, are you? a piece of sticky, sentimental drivel. the sleepwalker. - but i've studied it so hard! - mrs. hollister, you're not a sleepwalker. you're a warm, vibrant, full-bodied woman. and besides that, the piece is best sung by a coloratura, and you're not a coloratura, are you? - no, i'm a lyric.

pera that was written for you. when i heard "la noce de figaro," n language) the meaning of love cried out for a woman like you. - oh, mr.. paladin. - i know a little theater just down the street. itit dark in the afternoons, and i know i can get the use of it for two hours. the use of a piano... and in the meantime,e, suggest that you get some rest. mr. blakely... - - n't it wonderful, rod? - just what you wanted, faye. - to think mr. paladin knows bartellini.

(singing in foreign language) - i warned y y, blakely. - wait, pete. not now. this is hehebig chance. let her finish... and we'll settle everything once and for all.

(singing stops) (piano stops) - well, signor bartellini? (murmuring) home and start acting like a wife. - oh, no i'm not, pete. i'm going on with my career and there's nothing you can do to stop me. signore bartellini says that's there's a remote possibility that perhaps in five or six years, with intensive training... - i've been studying for quite some time now, mr. paladin. - mrs. hollister, to be a fine singer, requires sacrifice, a good deal of old-fashioned sweat.

where are you going to get money? - i'll get along. rod'll help me. won't you, rod? - sure, i will. maybe in a couple of years after we've bought a ranch and gotten it rolling. - a ranch? a couple of years? - well that's the important thing, isn't it? getting married, having a home of our own. sure, i want you to sing, but... later, when i can afford it. - i see. i should've known you were nothing but a cheap tin horn. - now just a moment! bleating about true love. - bravo! that's a fine performance. - and what does that mean? - it means you've just shown yourself to be a spoiled, selfish woman. - mr. paladin, you're talking to my wife. remember that. - i'll remember... i wouldn't have it any other way. that is a marriage made in heaven.

now you're going to take it from me now that you don't have your gun! ?? ?? (faye) - pete! pete, are you hurt? - no more than i was when you left me. is this the way you're going to be, faye? going through life always taking and taking and taking and never givin' anything unless you get back twice over?

- i guess the older you get, the more foolish you become. i'll give you the chance. you know that. but don't be grateful. i know what i'm bargaining for. - mr. paladin, this is the best money i ever spent. ?? - that's fine, vittorio. thank you very much. here's for the haircut,

it was a pleasure to oblige you. - you know, if you weren't such an excellent barber, i'd recommend that you go on the stage. you're a very convincing actor, signore bartellini. i'll tell you a secret. i was not acting. (laughing)
