1:02:00
I'd pay 3 dollars
for a pickled buffalo tongue.

1:02:03
I'd have thought you'd had
enough pickled tongue for one day.

1:02:07
No. But I've had enough tongue
that's barbed and indigestible.

1:02:12
I know. It often is.
1:02:14
Well, Sister, how do you stand
on the sin of tobacco?

1:02:18
Well, I know of no passage
to prove it,

1:02:21
but I'm certain
that the Good Lord smokes fine cigars.

1:02:25
Hallelujah.
1:02:26
Marshal, is your eye bothering you?
I could sooth it with a poultice.

1:02:32
No, thanks, Ma'am. It's past help.
- Was it a hunting accident, Marshal?

1:02:36
You might say that. Huntin' Yankees.
1:02:39
I lost it in the war, riding with
Bill Anderson and Captain Quantrill.

1:02:44
Times have sure changed.
Now I'm workin' for a damned Yankee.

1:02:49
But you're still hunting, sir.
1:02:53
I guess I like Marshalin' better'n
anything I've done since the war.

1:02:57
I like buffalo huntin',
but them big shaggies is almost gone.

1:03:02
Damn shame.
1:03:03
I was skinnin' buffalo
at Yellow Horse Creek, Texas.

1:03:07
Pay was great, but I couldn't
stand that open country.

1:03:11
I'll bet there weren't
6 trees between there and Canada.

1:03:14
I love the freedom of the open
prairies. You love your freedom too.

1:03:19
Yeah, yeah. I went off it once.
1:03:22
But my wife and l
are travelin' different roads now.

1:03:25
She didn't like my friends,
she didn't like me when I was myself.

1:03:31
My drinkin' picked up,
she got a bellyful of it and left.

1:03:35
Now I'm livin' happily
with my cat, General Sterling Price,

1:03:39
and my friend Chen Lee,
the Chinaman. They let a man be.

1:03:45
Be what, Marshal?
1:03:49
Be his self. He don't have to change.
1:03:51
But change is progress. You're not
too old to change. Life is a school.

1:03:57
Well, teacher, don't start
pressin' your dress for my graduation.
