Oklahoma! (1999) - full transcript

♫ There's a bright golden

haze on the meadow ♫

♫ The corn is as high

as an elephant's eye ♫

♫ And it looks like it's

climbing clear up to the sky ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful morning

Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

♫ I've got a beautiful feeling ♫

♫ Everything's going my way ♫

♫ All the cattle

are standing like statues ♫

Hey!

♫ All the cattle

are standing like statues ♫

♫ They don't turn their heads

as they see me ride by ♫

♫ But a little brown maverick

is winking her eye ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful morning ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

♫ I've got a beautiful feeling ♫

♫ Everything's going my way ♫

Aunt Eller.

Ah! Scared me to death.

What you doin' around here?

Well, I come asingin' to ya.

♫ All the sounds of

the earth are like music ♫

♫ The breeze is so busy

it don't miss a tree ♫

♫ And an old weepin' willer

is laughin' at me ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful morning ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

♫ I've got a beautiful feeling ♫

♫ Everything's going my way ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

If I wasn't an old woman

and you wasn't so young

and smart alecky, I'd marry you.

Get you to sit around

at night and sing to me.

No you wouldn't either,

'cause I wouldn't marry you,

nor none of your kinfolks

if I could help it.

No, none of my kinfolks, huh?

You tell them that, all of them,

including that niece of yours,

Miss Laurey Williams.

Aunt Eller,

if you want to tell me

where Laurey was at,

where would you

tell me she was at?

I wouldn't tell ya.

Not at all.

As far as I can make out,

Laurey ain't payin' you no heed.

So she don't

take to me much, huh?

Where'd you get such

an uppety niece that

wouldn't pay no heed to me?

Who's the best bronc buster

in this here territory?

Why, you, I bet.

And the best bulldogger

in 1 7 counties.

Me. That's who.

Lookey here.

I'm handsome, ain't I?

Purdy as a picture.

Curly-headed, ain't I?

And bow-legged from the saddle

for God knows how long, ain't I?

Couldn't stop a pig in the road.

What else does she want then,

the damn she-mule?

Well, I don't know, but I'm

sure certain it ain't you.

So, who are you taking

to the Box Social tonight?

Oh, I ain't thought much about it.

Oh, I bet you come over to ask Laurey.

What if I did?

You asking me, too?

I'll wear my fascinator.

You too?

Yeah.

♫ Oh, what a beautiful morning ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

Oh. I thought

you were somebody.

♫ I got a beautiful feelin' ♫

♫ Everything's going my way ♫

Is this all

that's come a-calling

at already 10:00 on a Saturday morning?

You knowed it was me

before you opened the door.

No such a thing.

You did.

You heard my voice.

You know it was me.

I heard a voice talking

rumbly along at Aunt Eller.

I heard someone singing

like a bullfrog in a pond.

You knew it was me,

you sittin' there thinkin' up

somethin' mean to say.

I've a good mind not to ask

you to the Box Social.

Well, if you did ask me,

I wouldn't go with you.

Besides, how would you take me?

You ain't bought a new buggy

with red wheels onto it, have you?

No, I ain't.

And a spanking team

their bridles all a-jingling.

No.

Expect me to ride on

behind ole Dun, I guess.

Better ask that

old Cummings girl

you took such a shine to

across the river.

Well, if I was to ask you,

there'd be a way

to take you,

Miss Laurey Smarty.

Huh?

There would?

♫ When I take you

out tonight with me ♫

♫ Honey, here's the

way it's gonna be ♫

♫ You will sit

behind a team ♫

♫ of snow white horses ♫

♫ In the slickest gig

you ever see ♫

Lands!

♫ Chicks and ducks

and geese better scurry ♫

♫ When I take you

out in the surrey ♫

♫ When I take you

out in the surrey ♫

♫ with the

fringe on top ♫

♫ Watch that fringe

and see how it flutters ♫

♫ When I drive them

high steppin' strutters ♫

♫ Nosey pokes will peek

through their shutters ♫

♫ and their eyes will pop ♫

♫ The wheels are yeller,

the upholstery's brown ♫

♫ The dashboard's

genuine leather ♫

♫ With isinglass curtains

you can roll right down ♫

♫ in case there's

a change in the weather ♫

♫ Two bright sidelights

winkin' and blinkin' ♫

♫ Ain't no finer rig

I'm a-thinkin' ♫

♫ You can keep your rig

if you're thinkin' ♫

♫ that I'd care to swap ♫

♫ for that shiny little surrey

with the fringe on the top ♫

♫ Would you say the

fringe was made of silk? ♫

♫ Oh, wouldn't have

no other kind but silk ♫

♫ Has it really got a team

of snow white horses? ♫

♫ One's like snow,

the other's more like milk ♫

So you can tell them apart.

♫ All the world

will fly in a flurry ♫

♫ When I take you

out in the surrey ♫

♫ with the

fringe on top ♫

♫ When we hit that road,

hell for leather ♫

Hya!

♫ Cats and dogs will

dance in the heather ♫

♫ Birds and frogs

will sing all together ♫

♫ and the toads

will hop ♫

Wa-haw!

♫ The wind will whistle

as we rattle along ♫

♫ Cows will moo

in the clover ♫

♫ The river will ripple

out a whispered song ♫

♫ And whisper it

over and over ♫

♫ Don't you wish

you'd go on forever? ♫

♫ And you'd never stop ♫

♫ In that shiny little surrey

with the fringe on the top ♫

You'd sure feel like a queen

sitting up in that carriage.

Only she talked so

mean to me a while back,

Aunt Eller, I've a good

mind not to take her.

Ain't said I was going.

Ain't asked ya.

Where'd you get such a rig at?

I'll bet he went and

hired a rig at Claremore

thinking I'd go with him.

That's all you know about it.

Oh, oh, oh, spent all his money

hiring a rig and now

he ain't got nobody

to ride in it.

I have, too.

Look, I did not hire it.

I made the whole thing

up out of my head.

What?

Made it up?

Dashboard and all.

Oh, get off of the place, you.

Aunt Eller, make him

get himself out of here.

Telling me lies.

Makin' up a few... whoo!

Making up a few little

pretties... hey!

Look out, now.

Making up a few pretties

ain't against

any law I know of.

Hey, don't you wish

there was such a rig though?

Hmm?

Then you can go

to that play party

and do a little

hoedown till morning

if you was a-mind to.

And then...

when you was all wore out,

I'd lift you up

onto that surrey,

jump up alongside of you and...

we'd just point the horses home.

♫ I can see the stars

gettin' blurry ♫

♫ When we arrive

back home in the surrey ♫

♫ Riding slowly home

in the surrey ♫

♫ with a fringe on top ♫

♫ I can feel the day

getting older ♫

♫ Feel a sleepy head

near my shoulder ♫

♫ Nodding, drooping,

close to my shoulder ♫

♫ till it falls, kerplop ♫

♫ The sun is swimming

on the rim of a hill ♫

♫ The moon is taking a header ♫

♫ And just as I'm thinking

the earth is still ♫

♫ A lark will wake up

in the meadow ♫

Hush, hush, you bird.

♫ My baby's a-sleepin' ♫

♫ Maybe got a dream

worth a-keepin' ♫

Whoa, you team.

♫ And just

keep a-creepin'□ ♫

♫ at a slow

clip clop ♫

♫ Don't you hurry

with the surrey ♫

♫ with a fringe

on the top ♫

Only...

Only, there ain't no such rig.

What you just said,

you made the whole thing up.

Why'd you come 'round here,

these stories and lies

getting me all

worked up that way?

Talking about the sun swimming

on the hill like it was so.

Laurey...

Who'd want to ride

alongside you anyway?

Oh, why don't you just

grab her and kiss her

when she acts that way, Curly?

She's just aching

for you, too, I bet.

I wouldn't even speak to him

let alone allow him to kiss me,

the bragging, bowlegged,

wish-he'd-had-a-sweetheart bum.

She likes you.

Quite a lot.

Yeah, if she liked me anymore,

she'd sic the dogs out on me.

Listen, Aunt Eller,

I got to know something.

Who's the low filthy sneak

Laurey's got her cap set for?

Oh, that's you.

No, never mind that.

There must be plenty

of men trying to spark her

and she surely leans

to one of them, now, don't she?

Well, now, there's that

fine farmer, Jace Hutchens.

Just this side of Lone Ellum.

And then of course there's

that old widower man

over at Claremore.

Makes out he's a doctor

or a veterinary.

That's what I thought.

Hello.

Hello yourself.

And...

And of course there's

someone much nearer her home,

got her on his mind

most of the time,

so he can't tell a plow

from a threshing machine.

Yup.

Yup. Jud Fry.

That bullet-colored growly man?

Now, don't you say

nothin' against him.

He's the best hired hand I ever had.

Just about runs

this farm by his self.

Well, two women couldn't

do it, you ought know that.

Laurey would take up

with a man like that?

I never said she took up.

I know, but he's around all the time.

And he lives here.

In the smokehouse.

Hi, Eller.

Mornin', Ike.

We're going over to the station.

You need anything in Claremore?

You can take me with you.

There's somethin' on

that train I gotta pick up.

Personal.

Hey, Curly.

Oh, hey, Slim.

Did you get it?

Did I get what?

Did you get that wagon hitched?

Wagon?

What wagon?

There's a crowd of folks

coming from Bushyhead...

to the Box Social.

Curly said maybe

you'd loan us

your big wagon.

Take 'em over to

Mr. Skidmore's ranch.

Well, sure I would.

If he'd asked me.

Yeah, I just got talking

about a lot of other things

but I'll go

hitch up the horses now

if you say it's all right.

Go ahead.

Time we got goin'.

Now, why don't you ask

the girls from Bushyhead

to stop by here

and freshen up?

All right.

It's a long way

to Mr. Skidmore's.

Thanks for the loan

of the wagon, Aunt Eller.

Aunt Eller.

Hey, hi, Will.

Hi, Aunt Eller!

What happened at the fair?

How'd you do with

the steer ropin'?

Oh, I did purdy good.

I won it.

Good boy.

Thank you, Ike.

I hoped you would.

What?

What happened?

Oh, I can't stay

but a minute, Aunt Eller.

I gotta get over to Ado Annie.

Don't you remember,

Pa said if I was ever

worth $50, I could have it.

$50?

Is that what they gave

ya for prize money?

That's right.

Well, if Ado Annie's pa

keeps his promise,

we'll be dancin'

at your wedding.

Well, if he don't

keep his promise,

I'll take it from

right under his nose.

I won't give him the present

I brought for him.

Lookey here, fellas, what

I got for Ado Annie's pa.

Watcha got there?

Oh, excuse us, Aunt Eller.

Huh?

Oh, come on, darling.

You put it up

to your eye like this,

then when you get a good look,

you turn it at the top

and the picture changes.

Well, I'll be side-gaited!

They call it the Little Wonder.

Silly goats.

Why, the hussy!

Why, she ought to be ashamed

of herself.

You too.

How do you turn this thing

to get her out of the picture?

Wait, wait, wait.

I'm gettin' it.

I'm gettin' it.

Did you tell her?

No tellin' what

you've been up to.

I bet you carried on

plenty in Kansas City.

Well, I wouldn't exactly

call it carrying on.

But I sure did see some

things I'd never seen before.

♫ I got to Kansas City on a Friday ♫

♫ By Saturday I learned a thing or two ♫

♫ 'Cause up till then I didn't have an idea ♫

♫ of what the modern

world was coming to ♫

♫ I counted 20 gas buggies

going by themselves ♫

♫ almost every time

I took a walk ♫

♫ Then I put my ear

to a Bell telephone ♫

♫ and a strange woman

started into talk ♫

What next?

Yeah, what?

What next?

♫ Everything's up

to date in Kansas City ♫

♫ They've gone about

as far as they can go ♫

♫ They went and

built a skyscraper ♫

♫ seven stories high ♫

♫ About as high as

a building oughta grow ♫

♫ Everything's like

a dream in Kansas City ♫

♫ It's better than

a magic lantern show ♫

♫ You can turn

the radiator on ♫

♫ whenever you

want some heat ♫

♫ With every kind of comfort,

every house is all complete ♫

♫ You can walk

to privies in the rain ♫

♫ and never wet your feet ♫

♫ They've gone about

as far as they can go ♫

Yes sir!

♫ They've gone about

as far as they can go ♫

Come here.

♫ Everything's up

to date in Kansas City ♫

♫ They've gone about

as far as they can go ♫

♫ They got a big theater

they call a burleekew ♫

♫ For 50 cents you

can see a dandy show ♫

Girls!

♫ One of the girls was

fat and pink and pretty ♫

♫ As round above

as she was round below ♫

♫ I could swear

that she was padded ♫

♫ from her shoulder

to her heel ♫

♫ but later in the second act

she began to peel ♫

♫ She proved that everything

she had was absolutely real ♫

♫ She ran about as

far as she could go ♫

Yes sir!

♫ Ran about as far

as she could go ♫

Watcha doin'?

Hey!

Two-step. It's all

the dancing nowadays.

The waltz is through.

Catch on to it.

One and a two.

One and a two.

'Course they don't do it alone.

Come on, Eller.

♫ And that's about

as far as I can go ♫

Yes sir!

♫ That's about

as far as she can go ♫

Watcha doin' now, Will?

Ragtime.

Seen a couple of fellas

doing it in the street.

Whoa.

Come on, fellas.

Pick this one up.

Watch out, Will.

Come on, now.

I've got ya.

All right, fellas.

Here we go.

(Aunt Eller)

Oh, look at that.

Hey.

Nobody can swing

a rope like that.

Good boy.

Oh, look at that.

Come on, Will.

Will, you do it.

You don't......

Yeehaw!

Come on, Will.

Come on, Cord.

Come on over.

That's not funny.

Cut it out, Will.

I said, cut that out, Will.

No, I'm tellin' ya.

Stop that.

No.

Hold on now.

Watch my feet.

Look at that.

Oh, that's mighty

genius, what that is.

Look at that.

He must be in

Kansas City trouble,

Aunt Eller.

Ain't she got a great smile?

Thank you, ma'am.

Hey, what's going on?

Come on back.

Woo hoo!

Come on now.

Up. Up.

Watch my feet now.

Pick it up now.

Let's go.

♫ All about as

far as we can go ♫

Thank you.

May I?

♫ We've gone as far as we can go ♫

Yoo hoo!

Ado Annie.

Hello, Laurey!

Hello.

My, oh my, Miss Laurey.

Chippety crickets.

How high you have growed up.

Last time I come

to here, you was tiny.

Like a shrimp with freckles.

Now look on you. Woo!

A great big beautiful lady.

Quit bitin' me.

If you had no breakfast,

go get yourself a green apple.

Yeah, all right,

I take my things

up to the house.

No, no, no.

I see you in a minute, baby, eh?

Hey, Will Parker's

back from Kansas City.

Will Parker?

I didn't count on him

being back so soon.

I can see that.

The peddler man's gonna

drive me to the Box Social.

I got sort of a tasty lunch.

Oh, Annie, have you

took up with that peddler man?

Not yet.

But you're promised to

Will Parker, ain't ya?

Well, not what

you might say promised.

I just told him maybe.

Don't you love Will anymore?

Of course I do.

There won't never be

nobody like Will.

What about this peddler man?

They won't never be

nobody like him neither.

Well, which one

do you like the best?

Whatever one I'm with.

You're a silly cow.

Now, Laurey,

you know that nobody

paid me no mind

up until this year

on account of I was scrawny

and flat as a bean pole.

Then I kinda rounded up a little

and now the boys

act different to me.

What's wrong with that?

Well, nothing wrong.

I like it.

I like it so much when

a fella talks purdy to me

that I get all shaky

from horn to hoof.

Don't you?

Can't think what

you're talkin' about.

Don't you feel kind

of sorry for a fella

when he looks like

he wants to kiss ya?

You just can't go

around kissing every man

that asks ya.

Didn't anyone

ever tell you that?

Yeah.

They told me.

♫ It ain't

so much a question ♫

♫ of not knowing

what to do ♫

♫ I know what's

right and wrong ♫

♫ since I've been 1 0 ♫

♫ I heard a lot of stories

and I reckon they are true ♫

♫ about how girls

are put upon by men ♫

♫ I know I mustn't

fall into the pit ♫

♫ but when I'm with

a fella I forget ♫

Oh.

♫ I'm just the girl

who can't say no ♫

♫ I'm in a terrible fix ♫

♫ I always say,

come on, let's go ♫

♫ just when

I oughta say nix ♫

♫ When a person

tries to kiss a girl ♫

♫ I know she ought

to give his face a smack ♫

♫ But as soon as

someone kisses me ♫

♫ I somehow sort of

wanna kiss him back ♫

♫ I'm just a fool

when lights are low ♫

♫ I can't be

prissy and quaint ♫

♫ I ain't the type

that can faint ♫

♫ How can I be

what I ain't? ♫

♫ I can't say no ♫

♫ Watcha gonna do

when a fella gets flirty ♫

♫ and starts

to talk purdy? ♫

♫ Watcha gonna do,

supposin' that he says ♫

♫ that your lips

are like cherries? ♫

♫ Or roses,

or berries ♫

♫ Watcha gonna do? ♫

♫ Supposin' that he says

that you're sweeter ♫

♫ than cream and he's

gotta have cream or die ♫

♫ Watcha gonna do

when he talks that way? ♫

Spit in his eye?

No.

♫ I'm just the girl

who can't say no ♫

♫ Can't seem

to say it at all ♫

♫ I hate

to disappoint a beau ♫

♫ when he is payin' a call ♫

♫ For a while I act

refined and cool ♫

♫ while sittin' on

my velveteen settee ♫

♫ And then I'll think

of that old golden rule ♫

♫ and do for him

what he would do for me ♫

♫ I can't

resist a Romeo ♫

♫ in a sombrero

wearing chaps ♫

♫ Soon as I sit

on their laps ♫

♫ something inside

of me snaps ♫

♫ I can't say no ♫

It's like a I told ya,

I just get sorry for him.

Well, I wouldn't feel sorry

for no man no matter what.

But, see, with Ali Hakim now...

Ali Hakim?

Is that his name?

Yeah.

It's Persian.

Are you sure for certain

you love him better

than you love Will?

Well, I was sure.

But now that Will

has to come back home

and first thing you know

he'll be talkin' purdy to me

and changing my mind back.

But Will wants to marry you.

Well, so does Ali Hakim.

The peddler?

Did he ask you?

Well, not directly.

But how I know is he said to me

this mornin' when we

was ridin' in his buggy,

that he wanted for me

to drive like that

with him to the end

of the world.

Well, if we only drove

as far as Catoosie,

that'd take till

sundown, wouldn't it?

Then we'd have to go somewheres

and spend all night together.

And being together all night

means he wants

a wedding, don't it?

Not to a peddler it don't.

Hey, Aunt Eller.

Hi, yourselves.

Why, it's that peddler.

One that sold me that eggbeater.

Hey, peddler man,

hold your horses.

I wanna talk to you.

You remember what

you told me, hmm?

Told me that eggbeater

would beat up the eggs

and wring out my dishrags

and turn my ice cream freezer,

and I don't know what all.

All right. If the

eggbeater don't work,

I'll give you

something just as good.

Just as good?

It better be a thousand

million times better.

Now, Aunt Eller,

just listen to...

I ain't your Aunt Eller.

Don't you call me Aunt Eller,

you little wart.

Well, don't anybody

wanna buy somethin'?

Well, how about you,

Miss Laurey. Come on.

Must be wanting something,

a purdy young

girl like you, hmm?

Me?

'Course I want something.

I want a buckle made

out of shiny silver

to tassle onto my shoe.

I want a dress with lace.

Want perfume, wanna be purdy.

Wanna smell like

a honeysuckle vine.

Give her a cake of soap.

One thing I heard of,

never had before

a rubber-tired buggy.

Cut glass sugar bowl.

Want things

I can't tell you about,

not only things to look at

and hold in your hands,

but things to happen to you.

Things so nice if they

ever did happen to you

your heart, it'd quit beatin',

you'd fall down dead.

(Ali)

l got just

the thing for you.

The Elixir of Egypt.

What's that?

It's a secret formula.

It belonged to Pharaoh's

daughter.

Smelling salts.

But a special kind

of a smelling salt.

Now, read what it

says on the label here.

"Take a deep breath

and you see

everything clear."

That's what Pharaoh's daughter

used to do, you know?

When she had a hard

problem to decide

like what prince

she oughta marry

or what dress

to wear to a party,

or if she oughtta cut

off somebody's head,

she'd take a whiff of this.

Oh, fiddlesticks.

I'll take a bottle

of this, Mr. Peddler.

Precious stuff.

How much?

Two bits.

Throwin' away your money.

Helps you decide what to do.

Now, don't you

want me to show you

some purdy doo dads, huh?

You know, with lace

around the bottom here

and purdy ribbons

running in and out

What, you mean fancy drawers?

All made in Paris.

Well, I don't wear that

kind of thing myself.

But I sure do like to look at 'em.

Yeah. They're all right

if you ain't going no place.

Why don't you bring

your trappings inside?

Maybe I'll find you

something to eat and drink.

Ma'am.

He is not gonna marry you.

He is. He is.

He said he was. He is.

Well, ask him,

why don't ya?

Ali, me and Laurey

have been having an argument.

About what, baby?

About what you meant

when you said that

about driving with me

to the end of the world.

I didn't really mean

to the end of the world.

Well, then, how far

do you wanna go?

Oh, about as far as,

say, Claremore.

To the hotel.

What's at the hotel?

Look, in front of the hotel

is a veranda.

Veranda.

Inside is a lobby.

Okay.

Upstairs...

Upstairs might be paradise.

I thought they

was just bedrooms.

No.

No?

No, for you and me,

baby, paradise.

You see?

I knew I was right

and Laurey was wrong.

You do wanna marry me, don't ya?

Hey. What did

you just say?

I said, you do wanna

marry me, don't ya?

What did you say?

I didn't say nothin'.

(Will)

Yoo hoo. Ado Annie,

it's me, I'm back.

Oh, foot.

Just when-'Lo Will!

That's Will Parker.

Ado Annie!

Hey!

Woo, Will!

How's my honeybunch?

How's the sweetest

1 1 0-pound of sugar

in the territory?

Will, this is Ali Hakim.

How are ya, Hak?

Don't mind the way I talk.

It's all right.

I'm gonna marry her.

Marry her.

On purpose?

Well, sure.

No such of a thing.

No, no, it's a

wonderful thing

to be married.

Listen, I got a brother

in Persia got six wives.

Six wives?

All at once?

Sure.

It's the way they

do it in them countries.

No. No.

Not always.

Got another brother in Persia

got only one wife.

Yeah, he's a bachelor.

Come here.

Look Will... Look Will nothing.

Know what I got for

first prize at the fair?

$50!

$50!

Catch on? Your pa

promised I can marry ya

if I could get $50.

That's right.

He did.

Know what

I done with it?

Huh?

Spent it all

on presents for you.

But if you spent it,

then you ain't

got the cash.

What I got's worth

more than the cash.

Fella who sold me

the stuff told me.

But Will...

Stop saying, "But Will."

When do I get a little kiss?

Ado Annie, honey, you ain't been

off of my mind since I left.

All the time at the fairgrounds.

Even when I was chasing steers.

I'd rope one under the hooves

and I'd pull him up sharp.

And he'd land

on his little rump.

Then I'd think of you.

Don't start talkin' purdy, Will.

See a lot of beautiful

gals in Kansas City,

didn't give one a look.

How could you see 'em

if you didn't give 'em a look?

I mean I didn't look loving at 'em.

Like the way I look at you.

Oh, Will.

Please don't look at me that way.

I can't bear it.

Ain't gonna stop looking like this

till you give me

a little old kiss.

Oh, what's a little old kiss?

No.

No.

No, I won't.

♫ Supposin' I say that

your lips are like cherries ♫

♫ roses or berries,

watcha gonna do? ♫

♫ Can't you feel my heart

palpitatin' and a bumpin'? ♫

♫ Waitin' for somethin',

somethin' nice from you ♫

No.

♫ I gotta get a kiss ♫

♫ and it's gotta be quick or

I'll jump in a creek and die ♫

♫ What's a girl to say

when you talk that way? ♫

Well, now, howdy.

How y'all doin'?

Good to see ya.

♫ Oh, what a beautiful mornin' ♫

♫ Oh, what a beautiful day ♫

♫ I got a beautiful feelin' ♫

♫ Everything's goin' my way ♫

Hey, don't forget, Aunt Eller,

you and me's

got a date together.

And if you make up a nice lunch,

Well, maybe I'll bid for it.

Oh, how we gettin' there, Curly?

In that rig you made up?

I'll ride a-straddle

of them lights a-winkin'

like lightenin' bugs!

That there ain't no made-up rig,

you hear me?

l hired it

over to Claremore.

Lands, you did?

Sure did.

Purdy one, too.

Changed my mind about

cleaning the hen house today.

Leavin' it till tomorrow.

I gotta to quit early

'cause I'm drivin' Laurey

over to the party tonight.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

You're drivin' Laurey?

Asked her.

Curly, why don't

you take the wagon

down to the trough and

get the team some water?

Yeah.

Right away, Aunt Eller.

That's a right smart turnout.

♫ The wheels are yella,

the upholstery's brown ♫

♫ the dashboard's

genuine leather ♫

♫ with isinglass curtains

you can roll right down ♫

♫ in case there's

a change in the weather ♫

Can I come, too, Curly?

Just love to watch

the way ya handle horses.

That's about all

I can handle, I guess.

I can't believe that.

Not from what I heard about ya.

♫ Ain't no finer rig

I'm a-thinkin'

that I care to swap ♫

♫ for that shiny little surrey

with a fringe on the top ♫

Come on, boys,

better get those hampers

out under the trees

where it's cool.

Looks like Curly's took off

with that Cummings girl.

Oh, what do I care about that?

Well, I thought

Curly was supposed

to be stuck on you.

Well, I'd say he ain't

stuck on her no more.

Seeing is believing.

Bye bye, Curly.

Stop it.

Well, that's right.

You'll make her cry.

How would you like it

if you lost your man?

It's all right.

It's so sad.

Don't you pay 'em

no mind, Laurey.

♫ Why should a woman

who is healthy and strong ♫

♫ blubber like a baby

if her man goes away? ♫

♫ Weepin' and a-wailin'

how he's done her wrong ♫

♫ That's one thing

you'll never hear me say ♫

♫ Never gonna think

that the man I lose ♫

♫ is the only

man among men ♫

♫ I'll snap my fingers

to show I don't care ♫

♫ I'll buy me a brand

new dress to wear ♫

♫ I'll scrub my neck

and I'll brush my hair ♫

♫ and start all over again ♫

♫ Many a new face

will please my eye ♫

♫ Many a new love

will find me ♫

♫ Never have I once

looked back to sigh ♫

♫ over the romance

behind me ♫

♫ Many a new day

will dawn before I do ♫

♫ Many a light lad

may kiss and fly ♫

♫ a kiss gone by is bygone ♫

♫ Never have I asked

an August sky ♫

♫ where has last July gone? ♫

I never say that.

♫ Never have I wandered

through the rye ♫

♫ wondering where

has some guy gone ♫

♫ Many a new day

will dawn before I do ♫

Miss Laurey, in jest, of course.

Really?

Howdy, ma'am.

Hi.

♫ Many a new face

will please my eye ♫

♫ Many a new love

will find me ♫

♫ Never have I once

looked back to sigh ♫

♫ over the romance behind me ♫

♫ Many a new day

will dawn before I do ♫

♫ Never have I

chased the honeybee ♫

♫ who carelessly

cajoled me ♫

♫ Somebody else

just sweet as he ♫

♫ cheered me

and consoled me ♫

♫ Never have I wept

into my tea ♫

♫ over the deal

someone doled me ♫

♫ Many a new day will dawn ♫

♫ Many a red sun will set ♫

♫ Many a blue moon

will shine ♫

♫ before I do ♫

♫ Many a red sun will set ♫

♫ Many a blue moon

will shine ♫

♫ before I do ♫

It's...

Thanks a lot.

Ali Hakim.

Hello, kiddo.

Not sure I'm sorry

to see you so happy.

'Cause what I gotta

tell ya is gonna

make you miserable.

I gotta marry Will.

Oh, well, that's

sad news for me.

Well, he is a fine fellow.

Don't try to hide

your feelings, Ali,

I can't stand it.

I'd rather you

just come right out

and say your heart

is busted in two.

Are you positive

you got to marry Will?

Sure shootin'.

And there's no chance for

you to change your mind?

No chance.

All right, then,

my heart is busted in two.

Oh, Ali, you do make up

purdy things to say.

Is that you, Annie?

Hello, Pa.

Watcha been shootin'?

Rabbits.

Is that true what

I hear about Will Parker

gettin' $50?

That's right, Pa.

And he wants to hold you

to your promise.

Too bad.

Still and all, I can't

go back on my word.

See, Ali Hakim?

I advise you to get

the money off of him

before he loses it all.

Put it in your stocking

or inside your corset

where he can't get at it.

Or can he?

But, Pa, he ain't

exactly kept it.

He spent it all on presents.

You see?

I told ya.

Now he can't have ya.

I said it had to be $50 cash.

Is that fair,

Mr. Carnes?

Who the hell are you?

Well, this is Ali Hakim.

Well, shut your face

or I'll fill your behind

so full of buckshot,

you'll be walking around

like a duck the rest of your life.

Ali...

if I don't have to marry Will,

maybe your heart don't

have to be busted in two,

like you said.

I did not say that.

Oh, yes you did.

No, I did not.

You tryin' to make out

that my daughter's a liar?

No. I'm just

making it clear

of what a liar I am if

she's telling the truth.

What else you been

saying to my daughter?

Oh, an awful lot.

When?

Last night in the moonlight.

Where?

Alongside a haystack.

Listen, Mr. Carnes...

I'm listenin'.

What else you been sayin'?

He called me his Persian kitten.

Why'd you call her that?

I don't remember.

I do.

He said I was like a Persian kitten

'cause they was the cats

with the soft around the tails.

That's enough.

In this part of the country

that better be

a proposal of marriage.

See?

That's what I thought.

What do you think?

Look, Mr. Carnes...

I'm lookin'.

I'm no good.

Look, I'm a peddler.

A peddler travels

up and down and all around.

And you'd hardly ever

see your daughter no more.

That'll be all right.

Take care of her...

son.

Take care of my little rosebud.

Aw, Pa, that's purdy.

You sure for certain you

can bear to let me go, Pa?

Are you sure, Mr. Carnes?

Just try changin' my mind.

See what happens to ya.

Ali Hakim, ain't it wonderful?

Pa makin' up our minds for us.

He won't change, neither,

once he gives his word

that you can have me.

Well, you've got me.

I know. I gotcha.

Mrs. Ali Hakim,

the peddler's bride.

Ah! Wait'll I tell the girls.

Hey, girls, guess what?

I'm gonna become a bride!

Fathers with shotguns, trapped.

Tricked.

Hoodblinked.

Ambushed.

♫ Friend,

what's on your mind? ♫

♫ Why do you walk

around and around? ♫

♫ With your hands

folded behind ♫

♫ and your chin

scraping the ground ♫

Twenty minutes ago

I am free like a breeze.

Free like a bird

in the woodland wild.

Free like a gypsy.

Free like a child.

I'm unattached.

Twenty minutes ago

I can do what I please.

Flick my cigar ashes on the rug.

Dunk with a doughnut.

Drink from a jug.

Hey, I'm a happy man.

I'm minding my own

business like I oughtta.

Ain't meaning

any harm to anyone.

I'm talking

to a certain

farmer's daughter

and then I'm looking

down the muzzle of a gun.

♫ It's getting so you

can't have any fun ♫

♫ Every daughter has

a father with a gun ♫

A big gun they got on them.

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ how a gal gets

a husband today ♫

♫ If you make one mistake,

then the moon is bright ♫

♫ then they tie you

to a contract ♫

♫ so you'll

make it every night ♫

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ when her family

surrounds you and say ♫

♫ you gotta take and make

an honest woman outta Nell ♫

♫ To make you make her honest,

she will lie like hell ♫

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ on our manhood it's a blot ♫

You got it.

♫ Where is the leader

who will save us ♫

♫ from being

the first man to be shot ♫

What, me?

Yes, you.

Get outta here.

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ just a wink

and a kiss and you're through ♫

♫ You're a mess

and in less than a year ♫

♫ by heck, there's a baby

on your shoulder ♫

♫ making bubbles

on your neck ♫

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ any farmer will

tell you it's true ♫

♫ A rooster

♫ He ain't

♫ We could fight

Hey, hey, hey.

Come here.

Come on.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Revolution!

♫ It's a problem

♫ We gotta start

a revolution ♫

All right, boys.

Come on.

♫ It's a scandal,

it's an outrage ♫

♫ It's a problem

we must crack ♫

Look, there he is!

♫ I've got the answer ♫

♫ I go away and

don't come back ♫

I gotta get

home right now.

I gotta run.

I got places I gotta go.

Gotta get your hamper packed.

Well, you sure do

have a lot of company.

Hello, Laurey.

Just packing your hamper now?

I've been busy.

You got gooseberry tarts, too.

I wonder if they

is as light as mine.

Mine would like to float away

if you blew on 'em.

I did blow on one of mine

and it broke into

a million pieces.

Well, ain't you funny.

Gertie, why don't

you come inside

and cool off?

You comin' inside

with me, Curly?

Not just yet.

Well, don't be too long.

And don't forget, when

the auction starts tonight,

mine's the biggest hamper.

So, that's the Cummings girl

I hear so much talk of.

You seen her before, ain't ya?

Yeah.

But not since she got so old.

Never did see anyone

get so peaked looking

in such a short time.

Yeah, and she says

she's only 1 8.

I bet ya she's 1 9.

Watcha got in your hamper?

Oh, just some old meat pies

and apple jelly.

Nothing like what

Gertie Cummings

has got in her basket.

So you...

you're really gonna drive

to the Box Social tonight

with that Jud feller?

Reckon so. Why?

Nothin'.

Well, it's just that everybody

seems to expect me to take you.

Then maybe it's just

as well you ain't.

We don't want people

talking about us, do we?

You think people

do talk about us?

You know how they are.

Like a swarm of mud wasps

always gotta be

buzzin' about somethin'.

Well, what are they sayin'?

Oh, that you're stuck on me.

Most of the talk is

that you're stuck on me.

Well, I can't imagine how

these ugly rumors start.

Me neither.

♫ Why do they think up

stories that link ♫

♫ my name with yours? ♫

♫ Why do the neighbors

chatter all day ♫

♫ behind their doors? ♫

♫ I know a way

to prove what they say ♫

♫ is quite untrue ♫

♫ Here is the gist,

a practical list of don'ts ♫

♫ for you ♫

Uh huh.

♫ Don't throw

bouquets at me ♫

Oh.

♫ Don't please

my folks too much ♫

Aunt Eller?

♫ Don't laugh at

my jokes too much ♫

♫ People will say

we're in love ♫

Who laughs at your jokes?

♫ Don't sigh

and gaze at me ♫

♫ Your sighs

are so like mine ♫

♫ Your eyes mustn't

glow like mine ♫

♫ People will say

we're in love ♫

♫ Don't start

collecting things ♫

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Like what?

♫ Give me my rose

and my gloves ♫

No, no, no.

♫ Sweetheart,

they're suspecting things ♫

♫ People will say we're in love ♫

♫ Some people claim

that you are to blame ♫

♫ as much as I ♫

♫ Why do you take

the trouble to bake ♫

♫ my favorite pie? ♫

It is?

♫ Granting your wish

I carved our initials ♫

♫ on the tree ♫

♫ Just keep a slice of

all the advice you give ♫

♫ so free ♫

Uh huh.

♫ Don't praise

my charm too much ♫

♫ Don't look

so vain with me ♫

Vain?

♫ Don't stand

in the rain with me ♫

♫ People will say

we're in love ♫

♫ Don't take

my arm too much ♫

Let go.

♫ Don't keep

your hand in mine ♫

♫ Your hand feels

so grand in mine ♫

♫ People will say

we're in love ♫

♫ Don't dance

all night with me ♫

♫ till the stars

fade from above ♫

♫ They'll see it's

all right with me ♫

♫ People will say

we're in love ♫

Don't you reckon you could just

tell that Jud fella you'd

rather go with me tonight?

Curly...

Hmm?

No, I couldn't.

You couldn't.

Well, I think I'll go

down to the smokehouse

where Jud's at

just to see what's

so elegant about him,

makes girls wanna

go to parties with him.

Curly.

What?

Nothin'.

♫ Don't sigh ♫

♫ and gaze at me ♫

♫ Your sighs ♫

♫ are so like mine ♫

♫ Your eyes mustn't... ♫

You got your hamper packed?

Oh, Aunt Eller.

Yes, nearly.

Would you like a hanky?

What do I want

with an old hanky?

Well, you got a

smudge on your cheek.

No. Just

under your eye.

Aunt Eller, don't

go to Skidmore's

with Curly tonight.

If you do I'll have to

ride with Jud all alone.

Well, that's the way

you wanted it, ain't it?

No.

But I did it 'cause

Curly was so fresh.

But I'm afraid to tell

Jud I won't go with him,

Aunt Eller.

He'd do somethin' terrible.

Well, you ever been down that

old smokehouse where he's at?

Yeah, plenty of times.

Did you see them pictures

he's got tacked onto the walls?

Yeah.

I seen 'em.

Don't you pay them no heed.

There's somethin' wrong

inside of him, Aunt Eller.

I hook my door at night

and fasten my windows again.

Again.

What?

It.

And the sound of feet

walkin' on down out there

under that tree outside my room.

Laurey...

I know what I'm talkin' about.

You crazy yellin'.

Now, you stop

acting like a chicken

that's had its head cut off.

Laurey.

Now, Laurey, I got to thinkin'

about how you don't have

a right lot to wear,

except your mother's

old wedding dress.

And I, well,

I saved up my pennies

and I got you somethin'.

What is it?

Well, now...

Aunt Eller!

Oh my Lord.

Thank you so much.

Yeah, well, try it on.

It's beautiful.

Yes.

Well, open it, can't ya?

Howdy.

What do you want?

Well, I done got

through my business

up here at the house,

I just thought

I'd pay you a call.

You got a gun, I see.

Good one. Colt. 45.

Wooee, watcha do with it?

Shoot things.

Oh.

Hey, that there pink picture's

a naked woman, ain't it?

Your eyes don't lie to you.

She's plumb star

naked as a jaybird.

Actually, no.

No, she ain't.

Not quite.

She got a couple

a thing-a-bobs

tied on her there.

Shucks. That ain't

a thing to what I got here.

Take a look at that top one.

Whew.

I'll go blind.

That'd give me

ideas, that would.

That's a dinger, that is.

Oh yeah, that sure is a dinger.

Hey, that's a good lookin'

rope you got there.

Hey, you know Will Parker?

Yeah, well, he can

sure spin a rope.

It's a strong hook

you got there, Jud.

You can hang yourself on that.

I could what?

Uh, uh, hang yourself.

Well, yeah, it'd...

it'd be as easy

as falling off a log.

Matter of fact you could

stand on a log or a chair,

if you'd rather,

right about here, see?

Just put this here

around your neck,

tie that good up there

first, of course.

And all you'd have to do

would be to fall off the log.

Or the chair, whichever

you'd rather fall off of.

And in five minutes or less

with good luck you'd be,

you'd be dead as a doornail.

What do you mean by that?

Well, then, and folks

would come to your funeral

and sing sad songs.

Oh, they would.

Well, you never know

how many people like ya

till you're dead.

You know...

you'd probably be laid out

in that parlor

all decked out

in your best suit.

Your hair combed down slick

in a high starched collar.

Hmm?

Would there be

any flowers, you think?

Sure would.

And palms, too,

all around your coffin.

And then, then folks

would gather around you

and the men

would bare their heads

and the women, the women

would sniffle softly.

Well, some would probably faint.

You know, the ones

that took a shine to you

when you was alive.

Women never took a shine to me.

Oh, lots of women.

You see, they don't

never come right out

and show you how they feel

unless you die first.

I guess that's so.

They sure would

sing loud, though,

when the singing started.

Sing like

their hearts are breaking.

♫ Poor Jud is dead ♫

♫ Poor Jud Fry is dead ♫

♫ All gather around

his coffin now and cry ♫

♫ He had a heart of gold

and he wasn't very old ♫

♫ Oh, why did such

a fella have to die? ♫

♫ Poor Jud is dead ♫

♫ Poor Jud Fry is dead ♫

♫ He's looking

oh so peaceful and serene ♫

♫ And serene ♫

♫ He's all laid out to rest ♫

♫ with his hands

across his chest ♫

♫ His fingernails have

never been so clean ♫

Then the preacher would

get up and he'd say,

"Folks, we gathered here

today to moan and groan

"over our brother Jud Fry.

"Hung his self up

by a rope in the smokehouse."

Then there'd be

weepin' and wailin'

from some of those women.

Then he'd say, Jud was

the most misunderstood man

in the territory.

People used to think that

he was a mean ugly fella.

And they called him

a dirty skunk

and an ornery pig stealer.

♫ But the folks

that really knowed him ♫

♫ know that beneath

them two dirty shirts ♫

♫ he always wore

there beat a heart ♫

♫ as big as all outdoors ♫

♫ As big as

all outdoors ♫

♫ Jud Fry loved

his fellow man ♫

♫ He loved

his fellow man ♫

♫ He loved the birds

of the forests ♫

♫ and the beasts

of the field ♫

♫ He loved the mice

and the vermin in the barn ♫

♫ and he treated the rats

like equals, which was right ♫

Oh, and he loved

the little children.

No, no, no, he loved

everybody and everything

in the whole world.

Only he never let on

so nobody ever knowed it.

♫ Poor Jud is dead,

poor Jud Fry is dead ♫

♫ His friends

will weep and wail ♫

♫ for miles around ♫

♫ Miles around ♫

♫ The daisies in the dell will

give out a different smell ♫

♫ Because poor Jud

is underneath the ground ♫

♫ Poor Jud is dead ♫

♫ A candle lights his head ♫

♫ He's layin' in a coffin

made of wood ♫

♫ Wood ♫

♫ And folks

are feelin' sad ♫

♫ 'cause they used

to treat him bad ♫

♫ And now they know their

friend has gone for good ♫

♫ Good ♫

♫ Poor Jud is dead ♫

♫ A candle lights his head ♫

♫ He's lookin'

oh so purdy ♫

♫ and so nice ♫

Shh, shh, shh.

♫ He looks like

he's asleep ♫

♫ It's a shame

that he won't keep ♫

♫ But it's summer and

we're running out of ice ♫

♫ Poor Jud ♫

Yes sir.

That's how it'd be.

That sure would be

an interesting funeral.

I wouldn't wanna miss it.

Wouldn't wanna miss it, huh?

Maybe you will.

Maybe you'd go first.

Maybe.

Yeah...

Let's see now.

Where'd you work at

before you come up here?

It's up by Quapaw, wasn't it?

Yeah.

Before that, over by Tulsa.

Lousy they was

to me, both of 'em.

Always makin' out

they were better.

Always treatin' me like dirt.

What'd you do?

Did you get even?

If it'd ever come

to gettin' even

with somebody,

I'd know how to do it.

That?

No.

There's safer ways than that

if you use your brain.

You remember that fire

on the Bartlett farm

over by Sweetwater?

About five years ago,

terrible accident.

That burned up the father,

mother, and daughter.

Yeah, well, that there

weren't no accident.

Fella told me the hired hand

was stuck on the Bartlett girl

and he found her in the hay loft

with another feller.

And it was him

that burnt the place?

Took him weeks

to get up the kerosene.

Buying it up at different times.

The fella who told me,

made out like

it happened in Missouri,

but I knowed all along

it was the Bartlett farm.

What a liar he was.

And kind of a murderer too.

Wasn't he?

Let's get a little air in here.

You ain't told me yet

what business

you have here.

We ain't got no

cattle to sell ya,

there are no cow ponies

and the oat crop's

done spoke for.

You sure relieved

my mind considerable.

There can only be

one other thing

you want on this farm.

It better not be that.

But that's just what it is.

Better not be.

You stay away

from her, you hear?

A fellow wouldn't feel

very safe in here with you,

Jud, if he didn't know ya.

But I know ya.

See, in this country,

there's two things

you can do if you're a man.

Live outdoors is one

and livin'

in a hole is the other.

As long as you live

in a hole, you're scared.

You gotta have protection.

Yeah, you can have

muscles like iron

and still be as weak

as an empty bladder

unless you got things

to barb your hide with.

How'd you get to be

the way you are anyway?

You're sittin' here

in this filthy hole

thinkin' the way

you're thinkin'.

You oughta do something

healthy once in a while.

Instead of staying

shut up in here

crawling and festering.

Well, you oughta feel better now.

That's hard on the roof though.

Well, I wish you'd let me

show you something.

You see that

knothole over there,

about as big as a dime?

See it a-winkin'?

I just wanna

see if I can hit it.

Well, that's a bullet

right through the center.

Slick as a whistle,

without touchin', didn't I?

See, I knowed I could do it.

You saw it, didn't ya?

Why someone's comin', I expect.

Who fired off that gun?

Curly, was that you?

Well, don't just

sit there, you lummy.

Answer when

you're spoken to.

I shot once.

Well, what was you shootin' at?

See that knothole over there?

I see lots of knotholes.

Yeah, well, it was one of them.

Well, ain't you a pair

of purdy nothins, huh?

Pickin' away at knotholes

and scaring everybody

half to death.

I oughta give you a Dutch rub

and iron the

craziness outta you.

It's all right.

Ain't nobody hurt.

Just a pair of fools

swapping noises.

Mind if I visit with you gents?

Yeah, it's good to get away

from the women for awhile, huh?

Now, then.

We are by ourselves.

I got a few purdies.

Private knick knacks

to show you, special

for the men folks.

I'll see you gentlemen later.

I gotta get a surrey

I hired for tonight.

Who do you think you're

takin' in that surrey?

Aunt Eller.

And Laurey,

if she'll come with me.

She won't.

Maybe she will.

She promised to go with me.

She better not change her mind.

She better not!

Now, I want you

to look at these.

Straight from Paris.

I don't want none

of them things now.

I'll tell you what

I'd like if you got one.

You ever heard

of one of them things

you call the Little Wonder?

It's a thing you

hold up to your eye

to see pictures.

Only that ain't

all there is to it.

Not quite.

It's got a jigger onto it.

And you touch it and

down springs a sharp blade.

On a spring, huh?

You say to a feller,

look through this

and then when he's lookin',

you snap the blade out.

It's just above

his chest and then,

bang, down you go.

That's a good joke

to play on a friend.

No.

I don't like to

handle things like that.

It's too dangerous.

Now, what I'd like to show you

is my new stock of postcards.

I'm sick of them things.

Now, I'm gonna

get me a real woman.

I'm tired of all these

pictures of women.

So, you want a real woman, huh?

Yeah.

Say...

you ever happen

to hear of a girl

named Ado Annie?

I don't want her.

I don't want her either,

but I got her.

I don't want nothin'

from no peddler man.

I want real things!

What am I doin'?

Crawlin' and festerin'.

What am I doin'

in this lousy smokehouse?

♫ The floor creaks ♫

♫ The door squeaks ♫

♫ There's a field mouse

nibblin' on the broom ♫

♫ And I sit by myself

like a cobweb on a shelf ♫

♫ by myself

in a lonely room ♫

♫ But when there's

a moon in my winder ♫

♫ And it slants down

a beam across my bed ♫

♫ and the shadow of a tree

starts a dancin' on the wall ♫

♫ and a dream starts

dancin' in my head ♫

♫ And all of the things

that I wish for ♫

♫ turn out like

I want them to be ♫

♫ And I'm better than

that smart aleck cowhand ♫

♫ who thinks

he's better than me ♫

♫ And the girl

that I want ♫

♫ ain't afraid

of my arms ♫

♫ And her own soft

arms keep me warm ♫

♫ And her long tangled hair

falls across my face ♫

♫ just like a rain

in a storm ♫

♫ The floor creeks ♫

♫ The door squeaks ♫

♫ And the mouse starts

nibblin' on the broom ♫

♫ And the sun

flicks my eyes ♫

♫ It was all

a pack of lies ♫

♫ I'm awake

in a lonely room ♫

♫ I ain't gonna dream

about her arms no more ♫

♫ I ain't gonna leave her alone ♫

♫ Goin' outside, get myself a bride ♫

♫ Get me a woman to call my own ♫

To your house.

A dog?

Look at that.

Did you see that?

Come on, now.

Take a card.

Girls, could you

go somewhere else

and tell fortunes?

I gotta be here by myself.

She brought out

old smelling salts

the peddler tried to sell us.

Well, it ain't smelling salts

that's gonna make

my mind up for me.

Well, look at me

take a good whiff now.

That's the camphor.

Please, girls, go away.

Hey, Laurey,

is it true you're gonna

let Jud take you tonight

instead of Curly?

Tell you about it

when I think

everything out clear.

Beginning to see

things clear already.

I can tell you what you want.

♫ Out of your dreams

and into his arms ♫

♫ you long to fly ♫

♫ You don't need

Egyptian smelling salts ♫

♫ to tell you why ♫

♫ Out of your dreams

and into the hush ♫

♫ of falling shadows ♫

♫ When the mist is low ♫

♫ And stars are

breaking through ♫

♫ Then out of your

dreams you'll go ♫

♫ into a dream come true ♫

♫ Make up your mind,

make up your mind, Laurey ♫

♫ Laurey, dear,

make up your own ♫

♫ make up your own story ♫

♫ Laurey, dear ♫

♫ OI' Pharaoh's daughter

won't tell you what to do ♫

♫ Ask your heart ♫

♫ Whatever it

tells you will be true ♫

♫ Out of my dreams

and into your arms ♫

♫ I long to fly ♫

♫ I will come

as evening comes ♫

♫ to woo a waiting sky ♫

♫ Out of my dreams

and into the hush ♫

♫ of falling shadows ♫

♫ When the mist is low ♫

♫ and stars are

breaking through ♫

♫ And out of

my dreams I'll go ♫

♫ into a dream with you ♫

No!

Laurey?

Wake up, Miss Laurey.

It's time to start

for the party.

Come on. Come on.

Over there. Come on.

That's it. Watch it.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Hey, I'm talkin'

to you, Chalmers,

you stupid mule.

You just drop that schoolhouse.

I never understood

you cow folks.

Hey, hey, hey.

Come on now.

Now, stop that right now.

Come on, let me at him.

Now, I'll tell you what.

Hey, Aunt Eller,

what's going on?

♫ The farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

♫ Oh, the farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

♫ One man likes

to push a plow ♫

♫ The other likes

to chase a cow ♫

♫ But that's no reason

why they can't be friends ♫

♫ Territory folks

should stick together ♫

♫ Territory folks

should all be pals ♫

♫ Cowboys dance

with the farmers' daughters ♫

♫ Farmers dance

with the ranchers' gals ♫

♫ Territory folks

should stick together ♫

♫ Territory folks

should all be pals ♫

♫ Farmers dance

with the farmers' daughters ♫

♫ Farmers dance

with the ranchers' gals ♫

(Aunt Eller)

Come on, now.

That's right.

What's the matter, Curly,

don't you know how to dance?

This is probably the only

dance you're gonna get.

Fred, will you help

me out now, will ya?

Come on. Listen.

♫ I'd like to say

a word for the farmer ♫

Just say it.

♫ He come out West

and made a lot of changes ♫

♫ He come out West

and built a lot of fences ♫

You say it, Will.

♫ And built 'em right

across our cattle ranges ♫

That's right.

Why don't those dirt scratchers

stay in Missouri

where they belong?

Hell, we got as much

right here as anybody else.

Let me at him.

Stop now.

You reckon so?

I reckon so.

Hey. Shut up.

♫ The farmer is a good

and thrifty citizen ♫

He's thrifty all right.

♫ No matter what the

cowman says or thinks ♫

♫ You'll seldom see him

drinking at a bar room ♫

♫ Unless somebody else

is buying drinks ♫

You can't say that

about farmers.

♫ The cowman

should be friends ♫

♫ Oh, the farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

♫ The cowman ropes

a cow with his ease ♫

♫ The farmer steals

their butter and cheese ♫

♫ But that's no reason

why they can't be friends ♫

♫ Territory folks

should stick together ♫

♫ Territory folks

should all be pals ♫

♫ Cowboys dance with

the farmers' daughters ♫

♫ Farmers dance with

the ranchers' gals ♫

♫ I'd like to say

a word for the cowboy ♫

Oh, you would.

♫ The road he treads

is difficult and stony ♫

♫ He rides for days

on end with just

a pony for a friend ♫

♫ I sure am feeling

sorry for the pony ♫

♫ The farmer should be

sociable with the cowboy ♫

♫ if he rides by and

asks for food and water ♫

♫ Don't treat him like a louse ♫

♫ Make him welcome

in your house ♫

♫ But make sure that you

lock up your wife and daughter ♫

Now, that's not right, now.

Ah, who needs

an old farm woman anyway?

Noticed you married one

so as you could

get a square meal.

Yeah, you can't talk

that way about our womenfolk.

Would you shut up?

He can say

what he wants to say.

Now, you stop that.

Come on. Hey!

Ain't nobody gonna

slug out anything.

This here is a party.

Sing it, Andrew.

♫ Dum diddy um dum dum ♫

♫ The farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

♫ Oh, the farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

♫ One man likes

to push a plow ♫

♫ The other likes

to chase a cow ♫

♫ But that's no reason

why they can't be friends ♫

♫ And when this

territory is a state ♫

♫ and joins the union

just like all the others ♫

♫ The farmer and the

cowman and the merchant ♫

♫ must all behave their selves

and act like brothers ♫

♫ I'd like to teach

y'all a little saying ♫

♫ And learn these words

by heart the way you should ♫

♫ I don't say I'm no better

than anybody else ♫

♫ But I'll be damned

if I ain't just as good ♫

♫ I don't say I'm no

better than anybody else ♫

♫ but I'll be damned

if I ain't just as good ♫

♫ Territory folks

should stick together ♫

♫ Territory folks

should all be pals ♫

♫ Cowboys dance with

the farmers' daughters ♫

♫ Farmers dance with

the ranchers' gals ♫

Thanks.

I gotcha.

I'm tellin' ya.

♫ Territory folks

should stick together ♫

♫ Territory folks

should all be pals ♫

♫ Cowboys dance with

the farmers' daughters ♫

♫ Farmers dance with

the ranchers' gals ♫

Boy, I'll tell ya.

Come on, everybody.

It's time to start

the Box Social.

Gentlemen, y'all know the rules.

Gotta bid blind.

You ain't supposed

to know what girl

goes with what hamper.

'Course if your sweetheart's

told you that hers is done up

in a certain kind of way

with a certain color ribbon,

well, that ain't my fault.

Now we're gonna auction

with all of the hampers

up around the wagon.

Follow me. Come on now.

Thank you, honey.

You all right now?

Oh, here we go.

My favorite moment.

Psst.

Hello, young fellow.

Oh, it's you.

I was just hoping

to meet up with you.

It seems like you and me

ought to have a little talk.

We only got one

thing to talk about.

Well, Mr. Hakim,

I hear you got

yourself engaged to Ado Annie.

Yeah... Well, nothing.

I don't know what to call you.

You ain't pretty

enough for a skunk,

you ain't skinny

enough for a snake.

You're too little to be a man

and too big to be a mouse.

I reckon you're a rat.

That's logical.

Hey, answer me

one question.

Do you really love her?

'Cause if I

thought you didn't,

I'd tie you up in this bag

and I'd drop you in the river.

Are you serious about her?

Yes, I'm serious.

Would you spend every

cent you had for her?

That's what I did.

See that bag full of presents?

Cost me 50 bucks.

All I had in the world.

If you had $50 cash...

I'd have Ado Annie

and you'd lose her.

Yes.

I'd lose her.

Let's see what you got in here,

I might want to buy something.

What would you want with them?

I'm a peddler, ain't I?

I buy and sell.

You know, maybe

I'd pay you real money.

Maybe as much as, well, a lot.

Ah.

What a beautiful hot water bag.

Well, now, it looks French.

It must've cost plenty.

I'll give you $8 for it.

$8?

That wouldn't be honest.

I only paid $3.50.

All right.

All right.

I said I'd give ya

$8 for it, and I will.

Say...

That's a crackerjack.

Take your hands off that.

That was for our wedding night.

Yeah, don't fit you so good.

I'll pay you $22.

I only paid...

All right.

All right.

$22.50.

Not a cent more.

You wanna buy some more?

I might.

You ever see

one of these things?

What made you buy this for?

You got it in for somebody?

What do you mean?

It's just funny pictures.

That's all

you think it is.

Well, it's

more than that.

Where is everybody?

Where's Aunt Eller?

At the auction, Laurey.

(Jud)

Laurey! Laurey!

How much you

give me for this thing?

I don't like to handle

things like this.

You don't know what it is.

(Will)

It's just a girl

in pink tights.

Either you two seen Laurey?

Just went over yonder.

Auction's going on there.

Hey, Jud, you know,

here's one of them things

you was lookin' for,

the Little Wonder.

How much?

$3.50.

That's a lot of money.

But I got an idea

it might be worth it.

Here's 4.

Four and...

Now, let's see.

$3.50 from him.

$45.50 from you.

That makes $50, don't it?

(Ali)

No, $1 short.

(Will)

How much for the rest

of the stuff in the bag?

(Ali)

One dollar.

(Will)

Done.

And when I tell her pa who

I got most of the money off,

maybe he'll change

his mind about who's smart

and who's dumb.

Say, young fella, you know,

you certainly buncoed me.

Hey, Aunt Eller.

Two more hampers over here.

These here are

the last two hampers.

Whose they are

I ain't got no idea.

Oh, that one's mine.

And the one next

to it's Laurey's.

Well, that's the

end of that secret.

Now, what do I hear

for Ado Annie's hamper?

I'll give you

two bits.

Four.

Four.

Who says six?

Slim?

Ain't nobody hungry no more?

What about you peddler man?

Six bits.

Come on.

Six bits.

Six bits ain't enough

for a lunch like

Ado Annie can make.

What about you, Mike?

You won her last year.

Yeah, that's right.

Say, Ado Annie,

you got that same

sweet potato pie like last year?

You bet.

Yeah, same old

sweet potato pie, Mike.

What do you say?

I say it gave me

a three-day belly ache.

Well, never mind about that.

Come on now, let me hear...

Bid a dollar.

Ninety cents.

(Aunt Eller)

Ninety cents.

Another desk

for the schoolhouse.

Aint' I gonna hear any more?

(Will)

You hear $50.

Hey.

(Aunt Eller)

$50?

Ain't nobody ever bid

$50 for lunch, Will.

Ain't nobody ever bid 1 0.

He ain't got $50.

Oh, yes I have.

And if you were a man of honor,

you gotta say

Ado Annie belongs to me.

Like you said she would.

Where's your money?

Right here in my hand.

(Woman)

He got it.

That ain't yours.

You just bid that.

Just give that

to the schoolhouse.

Right.

Absolutely.

I got to say the peddler man

still gets my daughter's hand.

Now, wait a minute.

That ain't fair.

Well, it's goin' for $50.

It's going.

It's going.

It's...

$51.

Are you crazy?

Fifty...

What?

Wait a minute.

If I don't bid no more,

I can keep my money, can't I?

Sure can.

Then I still got $50.

This is mine.

You feeble-minded shag poke.

It's going for $51.

It's going.

It's going.

It's gone.

Yeah.

And that means,

Ado Annie gets

the prize, I guess.

That's a $50 bill, ma'am.

Fifty dollar bill.

And I get Ado Annie.

Woo!

What do you get for your $51?

A three-day belly ache.

(Aunt Eller)

Now, listen.

Come on now. Hey.

Now, this here is

my niece's hamper.

I took a peek

in that a while ago

and I must say

it looked mighty tasty.

So, what do I hear, Jim?

(Jim)

Two bits.

(Aunt Eller)

Two bits.

(Man)

Four bits.

(Aunt Eller)

Four bits.

What do you say, Slim, six?

I say six bits.

Yeah, more like it.

Come on, let me hear a $1.

One dollar.

(Aunt Eller)

One dollar.

One dollar.

$1.50.

Two dollars.

Two bits.

$2 dollars and four bits.

Call it now.

Three dollars.

Three dollars.

And two bits.

Ain't I gonna hear any more?

Curly, come on, Curly.

Now, I got a bid here.

Three and a quarter dollars.

To Jud Fry.

Well, Andrew, you

gonna let him have it?

Three and a half.

Three and a half.

Woo!

Going. It's going...

$3.75.

(Aunt Eller)

$3.75.

Yeah, well, come on, gentlemen.

Schoolhouse ain't built yet.

Gotta have a nice chimney.

Four dollars.

Four dollars.

It's going.

It's going.

It's...

And two bits.

That's too rich

for my blood.

Can't afford no more.

It's going to Jud Fry.

It's going.

It's going.

It's...

Who'd you say

was gettin' Laurey?

Jud Fry.

And how much?

(Aunt Eller)

Four and a quarter.

I don't figure that's

quite enough, do you?

More than you got.

No, I got a saddle here

that cost me $30.

Well, you can't bid saddles.

Huh.

It got to be cash.

Okay, well, $30

saddle must be worth

somethin' to somebody.

Hmm? Huh?

I'll give you 1 0.

Don't be a fool, boy.

You can't earn a living

without a saddle.

You got cash?

Right in my pocket.

All right.

Well, don't let's

waste any time.

How high are you goin'?

Higher than you no matter what.

Ooh-ee.

Well, Aunt Eller...

I'm gonna bid all this $1 0

that Tom's just give me.

Well, it's goin' for $1 0.

It's going.

It's going.

$1 0 and 2 bits.

Curly...

Okay, most of you

boys know my horse.

Dun.

Hmm?

She's kinda a nice horse,

gentle or broke.

Don't sell Dun, Curly.

It ain't worth it.

I'll give you 25 for her.

I'll sell Dun to ya.

Well...

That makes the

bid 35, Aunt Eller.

Woo, Curly.

You crazy.

But it's all

for the schoolhouse.

Ain't it?

It's all for

educatin' and learnin'.

(Crowd)

Yeah.

That's right.

Laurey's goin' for $35.

It's going.

It's going.

Hold on.

Hold on.

I ain't through bidding yet.

You just put up everything

you got in the

world, didn't you?

Can't bid the

clothes on your back

'cause they ain't worth nothin'.

You can't bid your gun

'cause you need that.

Yes sir, you need that bad.

So, Aunt Eller,

I'm just as reckless

as Curly McLain, I guess.

Just as good at

gettin' what I want.

I'm gonna put up

everything I got

in the world.

All I saved for two years

doing farmwork.

All for Laurey.

Here it is.

$42.31.

Oh.

Oh my word.

Anybody wanna buy a gun?

Cord, bought that brand new

last Thanksgiving.

That's worth a lot.

Curly, please

don't sell your gun.

Hmm?

I'll give you $1 8 for it.

Sold.

Well, that makes

my bid $53, Aunt Eller.

Anybody goin' any higher?

Goin', goin', gone.

Well, what's the

matter with you folks?

Ain't nobody gonna

cheer or nothin'?

♫ Dum diddy

dum dum dum ♫

♫ Oh, the farmer and the

cowman should be friends ♫

That's the idea.

Cowman and the farmer

should be friends.

Now, you lost the bid.

But the biddin' was fair.

(Man)

That's right.

Curly, shake the farmer's hand.

Sure.

I'll shake your hand.

And no hard feelings, Curly.

No hard feelings,

that's right,

now, Jud.

I'm sorry about that.

Curly, come on, give me the...

Oh.

Thank you.

That's all right,

now.

Curly?

Curly.

I wanna show you somethin'.

Excuse us, Laurey.

You ever seen

one of them things?

Just what is that?

Well, it's something

special, see?

You hold it up

to your eye like this.

Take a look.

No, go on.

You gotta hold it.

Huh?

(Jud)

Yeah. Go on.

Now, hold it.

(Aunt Eller)

Curly!

Curly, what you doin'?

Doin'?

Nothin' much.

Why do you wanna squeal at a

man like that for?

You scared the livin'

lights outta a fella.

Come here.

Well, why don't you

stop lookin' at those

old French pictures

and ask me to dance?

You brung me

to the party,

didn't ya?

I'll dance with ya,

you silly old woman.

I'll dance you

all over the meadow

if you want.

Pick that banjo

to pieces, Sam.

All right.

Hey, Curly.

After you two dance

you gotta take

a look at this.

I'll be right here.

You turn the ... picture.

(Aunt Eller)

Oh, come on.

Hey, peddler man,

it's my turn to dance

with her now.

Hey, Laurey,

I gotta talk to you.

Hey, Laurey,

I gotta talk.

Laurey! Laurey!

Laurey!

Woo!

Well, Ado Annie,

I got the $50 cash.

Now, you name the day.

August 1 5th.

Why August 1 5th?

That was

the first night

I was kissed.

Was it?

I don't remember that.

You wasn't there.

Now, looky here,

we gotta have

a serious talk.

Now that you're engaged to me

you gotta stop having fun.

I mean with other fellers.

♫ You have to be

a little more standoffish ♫

♫ when fellas offer

you a buggy ride ♫

♫ I'll give an

imitation of a crawfish ♫

♫ and dig myself

a hole where I can hide ♫

♫ I heard how you was

kicking up some capers ♫

♫ when I was up

in Kansas City, MO ♫

♫ I heard some things

you couldn't print in papers ♫

♫ from fellers who been

talking like they know ♫

Foot!

♫ I only did the kind

of things I oughta, sorta ♫

♫ To you

I was as faithful

as can be, for me ♫

♫ Them stories

'bout the way I lost

my bloomer-Rumors ♫

♫ A lot o' tempest

in a pot of tea ♫

♫ The whole thing don't

sound very good to me ♫

Well, you see...

I go and sow my last wild oat,

I cut out all shennanigans.

I saved my money,

don't gamble or drink

in the back room

down at Flannigan's.

I gave up lots of other things

a gentleman never mentions.

Before I give up anymore,

I wanna know your intentions!

Oh!

♫ With me it's

all or nothin' ♫

♫ Is it all

or nothin' with you? ♫

♫ It can't be in between ♫

♫ It can't be now and then ♫

Oh, Will.

Nothin'.

♫ It can't be

Uh-uh.

a lot like me ♫

Oh.

Aw, Annie.

♫ With you it's

all or nothin' ♫

Uh-huh.

♫ All for you

and nothing for me ♫

Aw, Annie.

♫ But if a wife is wise,

she's gotta realize ♫

♫ that men like you

are wild and free ♫

♫ So I ain't gonna fuss,

ain't gonna frown ♫

♫ have your fun,

♫ stay out late and

♫ And go right off

♫ Aw, Ado Annie ♫

♫ No use

waitin' up for me ♫

♫ Come on and kiss me ♫

No.

Come on, Annie.

Come on.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hold on, now, Laurey.

Why are we stoppin'?

I thought you wanted to dance.

I wanna talk to ya.

What made you

slap that whip

onto Old Eighty?

And it make her run away?

What was your hurry?

Afraid we'd be late for the party.

You didn't wanna be

left with me by yourself.

Not a minute more

than you had to, didn't you?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

With you by myself now, ain't I?

You wouldn't have been

if you coulda got out of it.

Mornin's you stay hidden

in your room all the time.

Nights you sit in the front room

and won't get outta

Aunt Eller's sight.

Last time I seen you alone

it was the winter and the snow

was six-feet deep

in drifts and I was sick

and you brought that hot soup

out to the smokehouse

and you gave it to me,

and me in bed...

I hadn't shaved in two days.

And you asked me

if I had a fever.

And you put your hand

on my head to see.

I remember.

Do ya?

I bet you don't remember

as much as me.

I remember everything

you ever done.

Every word you've ever said.

I can't think of nothin' else.

See?

You see how it is?

Laurey.

Now, Laurey.

Let go.

I ain't good enough

for you, am I?

I'm just a hired hand.

Got dirt on my hands.

Pig slop!

Ain't fit to touch you.

You're better.

You're so much better.

No.

We'll see who's better,

Miss Laurey.

We'll see who's better.

And then maybe you won't

be so free with your airs.

You're such a fine lady.

No! No!

Are you making threats to me?

You keep standin' there

trying to tell me

that if I don't allow you

to slobber over me

like a hog, what, are you

gonna do something about it?

Why, you're nothing

but a mangy dog

and somebody oughtta shoot you.

You think so much

about being a hired hand.

I'll just tell you something

that'll rest your brain,

Mr. Jud.

You ain't a hired hand

for me no more,

so you can just pack up

your duds and scoot.

And I even got

better ideas than that.

You ain't to come

on the place again.

You hear me?

I'll send your stuff

any place you say,

but don't so much as set

foot inside the pasture gate

or I'll sic the dogs on you.

You said your say.

You brought it on yourself.

I can't help it.

I can't never rest.

I told you the way it was.

And you wouldn't listen.

Who's that?

Oh, it's me, Laurey.

Hey, have you seen Ado Annie?

She's gone again.

Will?

Uh-huh?

Could you do somethin' for me?

Go and find Curly

and tell him I'm here.

I wanna see Curly real bad.

I gotta see him.

Then why don't you

turn around and look then,

you crazy woman?

Curly.

Well, you got yours.

I gotta go hunt for mine.

Hey, hey. Now, now.

What on earth is ailing

the belle of Claremore?

By gum if you ain't cryin'.

Don't mind me a-cryin'.

I can't help it.

Well, you cry your eyes out.

Shh. Shh.

I don't know what to do.

Well, here, I'll show you.

Oh my goodness.

Oh, that's just...

That's just about

all a man can

stand in public.

Oh, oh, oh.

Go away from me, you.

You don't like me, Curly.

Like ya?

My God, you get away

from me, I tell ya.

You just stay

a-plumb away from me.

Curly, you sittin' on a stove!

Ah! Doh!

It's cold as a hunk of ice.

Laurey...

Okay, now you...

You stand there

right where you are.

And I'm gonna...

Ow!

Gosh.

I'm gonna sit over here

and you tell me

what you wanted with me.

Jud was here.

Okay.

And he scared me.

Well, he's crazy.

I never saw no one like him.

He started talkin' wild

and he threatened me.

So I fired him.

I wished I hadn't.

Well, there

ain't no telling

what he'll do now.

You fired him?

Uh-huh.

Well, okay, that's

all there is to it.

Tomorrow I'll get you

a new hired hand.

And I'll stay in the

place myself tonight

if you're nervous

about that hound dog.

Now, quit your worrying about it

or I'll spank ya.

And, hey...

while I think

about it,

how about...

how about...

marrying me?

Gracious.

What'd I wanna marry you for?

Well...

Couldn't you maybe

think up some reason

why you might?

Can't think of none

right now hardly.

Laurey...

Please, ma'am, marry me.

L...

I just don't know

what I'm gonna do

if you don't.

Curly...

I'll marry you.

If you want me to.

Oh, I'd be the

happiest man alive

as soon as we are married.

I gotta learn to be a farmer.

Oh no, I see that.

I gotta quit worrying about

throwing the rope

and startin' to get

my hands blistered a new way.

Things are changing

right and left.

I gotta buy mowin' machines

and cut down the prairies.

Shoe your horses,

drag them plows

under the sod.

You know...

They are gonna

make a state

out of this territory.

And they're gonna

put it in the union.

Country's a-changin'.

You gotta change with it.

Bring up a pair of boys.

New stock just to keep up

the way things is going

in this here crazy country.

So now I got you to help me.

I'm going to amount

to something yet.

You know...

I remember

the very first time

I ever seen you.

It was at the fair

riding that little

grey filly of Blue Stars.

And I said to someone, I said,

"Who's that skinny

little thing with

"a bang hanging down

on her forehead?"

I remember.

And you was riding

the broncs that day.

That's right.

And one of them throwed ya.

That's...

Did not throw me.

Guess you jumped off that.

Sure, yeah.

No, I jumped off.

Yeah, you sure did.

Hey!

If there's anybody

at around this yard

that can hear my voice,

oh, I'd like for you to know

that Laurey Williams

is my girl.

Curly!

And she went and got me

to ask her to marry me.

They'll hear you

all the way to Catoosie.

Let 'em.

♫ Let people say we're in love ♫

♫ Who cares what happens now ♫

♫ Just keep your hand in mine ♫

♫ Your hand feels so grand in mine ♫

♫ Let people say we're in love ♫

♫ Starlight looks well on us ♫

♫ Let the stars beam from above ♫

♫ Who cares if they tell on us ♫

♫ Let people say we're in love ♫

Time for the lonely gypsy

to go back to the open road.

Wished I was goin' with ya.

Then you wouldn't

have to be so lonely.

Look, Ado Annie,

there is a man I know

who loves you like nothin'

ever loved nobody.

Yes, Ali Hakim.

No, no, no.

A man who will

stick to you

all your life.

And that's the man for you.

Mm hmm.

Will Parker.

Oh.

Yeah, well,

I like Will a lot,

but he...

Look, he is a fine fellow, huh?

Strong like an ox.

Young and handsome.

Oh, I love him

all right, I guess.

'Course you do.

You love those

clear blue eyes

of his, huh?

The way his mouth

wrinkles up

when he smiles.

So, you love him, too?

Look, I love him because he will

make my Ado Annie happy.

Well...

goodbye, my baby.

Oh.

I will show you

how we say goodbye

in my country.

Goodbye.

Good...

I am glad you will marry

such a wonderful man

as this Will Parker.

You deserve a fine man.

And you got one.

Oh, hey, Will.

Ah.

Ali Hakim was just

saying goodbye.

Will.

I want to say

goodbye to you, too.

No you don't.

I just saw the last one.

You were made for each other.

Now, you be good to her, Will.

And you be good to him.

Oh.

You don't mind?

I am a friend of the family now.

See?

Goodbye, my baby.

A friend of the family.

Persian goodbye.

Lucky fellow.

No, no, you know,

I wish it was me

she was marrying instead of you.

Don't seem to make

much difference hardly.

Well, back to the open

road, the poor gypsy.

You ain't gonna be thinking

that old peddler man no more,

are ya?

'Course not.

I never think of no one

unless he's with me.

Then I'm never

gonna leave your side.

Oh.

Well, even if you don't,

even if you never

go away on a trip

or nothin', couldn't you just

once in a while

give me one of them

Persian goodbyes?

Persian goodbyes?

That ain't nothing compared

to an Oklahoma hello.

Hello, Will.

Come on.

Three cheers

for the happy couple.

Hip hip...

Hooray!

Hip hip...

Hooray!

Hip hip...

Hooray!

There you go with that

healthy appetite, Curly, boy.

Weren't you scared

when the preacher

said that about, "Do you

take this here woman?"

Well, I was scared.

That he wouldn't say it.

I was afraid Curly

would back out on me.

Hey, hey, Laurey.

Laurey?

You better hurry

and change into

your other dress.

Yeah, we gotta

get going

in a minute.

Yeah, you better hurry

and pack your own duds,

Curly.

They're laying all over my room.

Yeah.

Oh, Will.

Uh huh?

Would you mind

hitchin' up the team

to the surrey for me?

Sure will have it up in a jiffy.

Yeah, I'll...

Has he gone upstairs?

Yeah.

Hey, come on, girls.

Go on, get outta there now.

Watcha gonna

do, Pa?

Shh.

Give Laurey

and Curly

a shivery?

Shh!

I wish you wouldn't.

Oh, what's a good old

custom ever hurt anybody?

And you ladies,

you just better

stay out of it.

Vamoose.

It's an awful thing

they shouldn't do.

It ain't gonna be rough, is it?

Stop gabbin' about it.

Get outta here.

You're too young.

Gertie?

Thought you was

in Bushyhead.

I just come from there.

Too bad you missed

Laurey's weddin'.

Been havin' one of my own.

Lands.

Who'd you marry?

Where is he?

Is that him?

That's him.

Hello.

Ali Hakim.

Oh, Ado Annie.

Hello.

Did you see my ring, girls?

Is that gold?

It looks fake.

How long you been married?

Four days.

Yeah, four days with that laugh should

count like a golden wedding.

But if you married her

you must've wanted to.

Oh, sure, sure.

No, no.

I wanted to.

I wanted to marry her

when I saw the moonlight

shining on the barrel

of her father's shotgun.

You know, I thought it would

be better to be alive.

And now I ain't so sure.

I'll see you later.

Thank you so much.

From Persia?

That's all the way

from Persia.

Hey there.

Ali ain't gonna travel

around the country no more.

I decided he oughtta

settle down in Bushyhead

and run Papa's store.

(Ado Annie)

Hey, Will.

Did you hear the news?

Gertie married the peddler.

Mighty glad

to hear that,

peddler man.

Oh, thank you so much.

I think I oughtta

kiss the bride.

Friend of the family, remember?

Hey, Gertie.

Have you ever had

an Oklahoma hello?

Uh-uh.

Ow!

Get off.

What's the matter with him?

Are you crazy?

Come on!

Help! Help!

Where you goin'?

I'm gonna stop Ado Annie

from killing your wife.

Mind your own business.

Why, Andrew, why wasn't

you back at the barn

with us gettin' drunk?

Never seen you

stay so sober

at a wedding party.

I was scared all night,

scared Jud

would come back

and start up on Curly.

Jud Fry's been out of the

territory for three weeks.

He's back.

Seen him at Claremore

last night drunk as a lord.

Shh. Come on.

Come on.

Come on down peaceable,

Laurey, sugar.

And you too,

you curly-headed cowboy.

With the dimple on your chin.

What you doin' out there

makin' all that racket?

You bunch of pig stealers?

Come on, everybody,

let's get 'em down.

Hey, where's the happy couple?

Come on, Curly, get up there.

Here's a baby girl for you.

Here's a baby boy.

Here's twins.

(Man)

We got you, Curly, boy.

Weddin' party's still going on?

Glad I ain't too late.

I got a present for the groom.

First I wanna kiss the bride.

Laurey.

Come on now, get off.

Hey, Jud, get up.

But I got a present for you.

Come on, come on, now.

Hey, hey.

Leave it.

What's going on?

Get him, Curly.

Come on, that's it, Curly.

Come on.

Hey.

(Aunt Eller)

Stand back now.

Come on now.

(Aunt Eller)

Come on, now, Curly.

Hey, hey, Curly.

That ain't gonna stop him.

You let him run.

(Aunt Eller)

Laurey, come up.

Get him off.

Come on, boys.

That's it.

Come on.

Just settle down...

Come on.

No!

Drop it now!

Hey, look.

What's the matter?

Turn him over.

Get away, some of you.

Let me look at him.

Hey, he all right?

Fell on his own knife.

What do we do?

Curly, is he...

Don't say anything.

It can't be that way.

I didn't...

It can't be like that.

I can't do anything now.

Maybe get him to a doctor,

but I don't know.

Maybe someone could

carry him over to my rig.

I'll drive him

to Dr. Tyler.

I gotta go and see if

there's something can

be done for him..

Aunt Eller, please

look after Laurey.

Maybe it's better

you and Curly don't go...

No.

All right, ready?

One, two, three.

Handle him easy.

Don't shake him.

Careful.

I don't see why

this had to happen

when everything was so fine.

Don't let your mind run on it.

I won't ever forget it,

I tell ya.

Never will.

That's all right, Laurey baby.

You can't forget,

just don't try to.

Oh, lots of things

happen to folks.

Sickness or being

poor and hungry.

Being old and afeared to die.

That's the way it is.

Cradle to the grave.

You can stand it.

There's just one way.

You gotta be hardy.

You gotta be.

You can't deserve

the sweet and tender in life

unless you're tough.

I wished I was the way you were.

Oh, fiddlesticks.

Scrawny and old.

Why, you couldn't hire

me to be the way I am.

What'd I do without you?

You're such a crazy.

Sure as you're borned.

Laurey.

What?

We took Jud over

to Dave Tyler's

till the mornin'.

Is he alive?

No ma'am.

Laurey, honey.

Cord Elam, he's

a federal marshal,

you know.

He thinks I oughtta

give myself up

tonight, he thinks.

Tonight?

Why, your train leaves

Claremore in two hours.

Best thing is for Curly

to go his own accord

and tell the judge.

Well, you're

the judge hereabouts,

ain't ya, Andrew?

Well, tell him now

and get it over with.

That wouldn't be proper.

You have to do it in court.

Oh, fiddlesticks.

Let's do it here

and say we did it in court.

We can't do that.

That's breakin' the law.

Oh, well, let's

not break the law.

Let's just bend it a little.

Come on, Andrew,

Let's start the trial.

We ain't got long.

Aunt Eller, I ain't havin' that.

Oh, come on, Cord,

what's the matter with you?

Andrew. Andrew.

We can make it proper

and do it legal.

Andrew, I got

to protest.

Oh, shut your trap.

We can give the boy

a fair trial without

lockin' him up on his weddin' night.

So, here's the long

and the short of it.

Thank you, Eller.

First, I gotta ask you

what you plea.

Huh?

That means why'd you do it?

Oh, why'd I do it?

Well, 'cause he'd always

been pesterin' Laurey.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Don't let your tongue

go wobbling around

in your mouth like that.

Now, listen to the question.

What happened tonight

that made you kill him?

No, he come at me

with a knife. And...

And you had to

defend yourself, didn't ya?

Why, yes.

And furthermore...

Nevermind the furthermore.

The plea is self defense.

Self defense.

We need a witness

who saw this happen.

I seen it.

Slim.

Cowman.

He tried to stab him

with a frog sticker.

Fred.

Cowman.

Self defense, all right.

Chalmers.

Farmer.

Now, I feel funny about this.

Well, you'll feel funny

when I tell your wife

you're carrying on

with another woman,

won't you?

I ain't carryin' on

with no woman.

Maybe not, but you'll

sure feel funny when

I tell your wife you are.

Now, you can laugh all you like,

but as federal marshal,

I'll tell you now...

Oh, shut up about being marshal.

We ain't gonna let you

send the boy to jail

on his weddin' night.

That's right.

Now, we ain't gonna let ya.

So shut up.

That's right.

Let's pull them

to their train

in Curly's surrey.

Hold on.

I ain't told the verdict yet.

Well, the verdict's

"not guilty," isn't it?

'Course, but...

Well, then say it.

Not guilty.

Court's adjourned.

Come on, now Laurey,

go get yourself ready.

No time for tears now.

Andrew, I wanna thank you.

My pleasure.

Why, Ado Annie, where on

earth have you been?

Will and me had

a little misunderstanding.

But he explained it fine.
