I want you all to pay
very close attention now

because I'm gonna tie
you a bowline knot.

First, you form
a loop like that

then you take
this end of the rope

through the hole,
over the top

and back through

and you cinch it up
real tight.

It forms a knot
that won't slip.

You can make a loop like this
and tie it with a bowline

and it will hold real tight.

It's good for fires,
mountain climbing

and water accidents.

You wanna give it
a try, Charlie?

Babette.

Dad! Rustlers!

They hit us again.

Well, how many head
this time?

Well, Rocky's still counting,
but he figures

at least a hundred head.

Well, that does it.

Sheriff Bodie here.
It's your nickel.

Hansen, this is J.P.

I lost another hundred head
of cattle last night.

I'll come right over, J.P.

We'll find out who's doing this,
I promise.

Listen, I'm tired of promises.

What are you gonna do?

'Inasmuch as every side'

'of beef on this ranch
is earmarked'

'for the military.'

I'm gonna call an old friend
of mine in Washington

and get some high powered
help down here.

We don't need no outsiders
comin' in, J.P.

It's our job to catch
these rustlers.

Well, you sure could've
fooled me.

What's going on, sheriff?

Diamond H lost another

hundred head of
cattle last night.

J.P. says he's calling
Washington for some help.

Wait on, it's our job to catch
them cattle rustlers.

I mean, that's what we're
gettin' paid for, isn't it?

I guess, I can't blame J.P.

Those rustlers keep
hittin' his herd

and we can't seem to
get near 'em.

I don't know about you
but I don't like

being made a fool of
by J.P. bringin' in

some outsiders
to do our job.

You can't feel any worse
about it than I do.

I think we should go over
to the Diamond H.

Try and talk the old man
out of doin' that.

What do you say?

'I've been hoping you'd
get down to this way'

'so I can introduce you
to my growing family.'

Growing family?
When did you remarry, J.P.?

I didn't.

The family consists

of my son Jeff

plus five war orphans.

We're now represented
by the Navajo Nation

Harlem, Paris, London,
and Shanghai.

Well, I'd love to meet your

junior League of Nations,
old friend

but I'm afraid this war
takes top priority.

Me and my fellow ranchers
have government contracts

to produce all the beef
we can raise.

Our problem is rustlers.
They're stealin' us blind.

Unless those thieves
are stopped in a hurry

we won't have any beef
to deliver.

Not to the army, navy,
air corps or marines.

'Signs of the times, I guess.'

'All that beef winds up
on the black market.'

With meat rationing in effect,
it's become big business.

We'll be out of business unless
we can get some help down here.

- What kind of help?
- 'Manpower.'

'Some real good manpower.'

Good men are at a premium

even here in Washington.

Look, Phil, I ran an awful
lot of interference

for you on the football field.

How about running
some for me now?

They say an army marches
on its stomach.

I guess that puts me directly
in the beef business.

I'll send you the man in charge
of my intelligence team.

'Major Steve Trevor.'

That's great.
When can I expect him?

'First thing tomorrow morning.'

Well, much obliged, Phil.
Adios.

Hey, he's sending
the very best.

Major Steve Trevor.

Major Trev..
The war hero?

That's right.

Major Trevor now heads up

General Blankenship's
intelligence team.

Well, I better get out there
and show those kids

how to tie
a few more knots.

Yeah.

'I know this isn't your average'

'intelligence
assignment, Steve.'

'But it is important.'

Yes, sir. I know.

Well, if you think about it,
food is just as vital

to the war effort
as bullets.

That makes sense.

My father said that

one good steak is
more morale boosting

than two Betty Grable movies.

How soon can you
leave for Texas?

Within the hour.

I'll order your
plane readied, sir.

With all them cowpokes
and rustlers around

you will be careful,
won't you, major?

'He better be.'

If J.P. Hadley
sent all the way

to Washington for our help

you can bet those
rustlers are dangerous.

Uh, yes.
Base Operations?

This is Yeoman Prince speaking.

Yes, would you please have
Major Trevor's plane

readied for
immediate take-off?

Thank you.

Keep me informed, Steve

and have a good flight.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Etta, I have some

priority dictation
to get out.

'Yes, sir.'

If you should happen to run
across any tall

rich, eligible Texan..

I promise to give him
your name, rank

and private phone number.

- 'Etta!'
- Uh, yes, sir.

Anything special you want me
to do while you're gone, Steve?

You can cheer up.
Wipe that frown off your face.

What's the matter?

Well, you heard
what the general said.

Those rustlers
could be dangerous.

- You know what your trouble is?
- What?

Too much work
and not nearly enough play.

I hereby order you
to take a three day pass

the minute I walk
out that door.

- Understood?
- Understood.

I'll see you when I
get back from Texas.

Yes, sir.

See you in Texas, major.

I wanted to talk to you, J.P.

'before you went ahead
and called Washington.'

It's too late.
I've already done it.

And they're sendin' a real
war hero out here to help.

Major Steve Trevor.

We're supposed
to catch those

cattle rustlers, J.P.,
not some outsiders.

I know that.

And I wish you were
doin' a better job.

Excuse me.

I'll wait for you
in the car, sheriff.

'You'll have to excuse Walt.'

I think his pride's
in his way.

Well, we're lucky.

We found some nice dry
kindlin' wood

and got the fire started.

But before that,
we marked off a circle

about ten foot wide
and we scraped it

bare inside the circle.

You know why we did that?

- Babette?
- No, monsieur.

'It's really quite simple, sir.'

We scrape the area
to minimize any possibility

of a spark from our fire

igniting dried grass, paper,
leaves, etcetera.

Is there anything you
don't know, Freddie?

Doubtful, old boy. Doubtful.

Now, that sounds like
a very revolting situation

don't you know?

Well, y'all keep warm

and I'll see what's happened
to our steaks.

Okay.

- Oh, thanks, Jeff.
- Yeah.

Just a minute.

We're one steak short.

Yeah, well,
I ain't hungry.

What's the matter?
Don't you feel good?

No, no.
I'll be alright.

You'd better get back
to your new family.

Hey, Walt, Billy Joe,
how you doin'?

- Hey, Walt.
- What's goin' on, Emmett?

Got us over
a hundred head last night.

Yeah, I heard about that.
Good.

Hadley complain again?

Oh, yeah, all the way
to Washington this time.

He even got
a little action, too.

What kinda action?

Well, they're supposed
to send out

this hotshot major

and he's supposed
to shut us down.

- You serious?
- Oh, yeah.

Walt, I don't wanna
tangle with the military.

Hey, now, wait a minute,
neither do I.

What do we do about this major?
Look, maybe it's time to quit.

No, we can't quit. We got
too many commitments to meet.

Besides, we got this one big
delivery left to make, okay?

- Cancel.
- Now. Whoa, wait a minute, now.

What do you mean
cancel, Emmett?

What are you talking about?

You don't cancel the mob.

Relax. Take it easy.
We're just buyin' time.

Look, in 24 hours,
we'll be out of business

and a whole lot richer,
if we can just keep this

Major Steve Trevor
off our backs long enough.

I can do that.

Ready for morning
inspection, sir.

Okay, just right.

Excellent.

You're okay, Sen.

But you could all use
a little more elbow grease

behind the ears
the next time.

Hey, Freddie,
what's elbow grease?

You know, old boy.
Like so.

You're just fine, honey.

How are you this morning, Jeff?

I asked you
how you're feeling.

Fine.

That's not very convincing.

I think you and I should
have ourselves a little talk.

- Uh, about what?
- About whatever's bothering ya.

'Hey, Freddie, it's your turn.'

No, it's not.
It's Linc's turn.

It ain't my turn.

Lincoln, there is no such word

as "ain't" in
the English language.

Oh, yeah?
Well, that's okay.

Because all I speak
is American.

And this American says
it ain't my turn to say grace.

Alright, alright, now,
stop your bickering.

Linc, are you sure it isn't
your turn to say grace?

Well..

...maybe it is.

Okay.

Bless this day.

And bless Mr. Hadley

for taking us in

when nobody else wanted us.

Bless this food

and thank you for making Texas

a nicer place than Harlem.

Oh, yeah.

See to it that Major Trevor

arrives here today safe.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Thank you, Linc.

Maria, where's
Charlie Bright Eagle?

He go for riding.

'Texas tower,
this is army six-niner-two'

'five miles east of you'

'requesting landing
instructions, over.'

'Roger, six-niner-two'

'you are cleared for
a straight-in approach.'

'Landing runway eight-four.'

'Winds westerly
at ten knots, over.'

'Roger, Texas tower.'

'Army six-niner-two out.'

Jeep comin'.

He took the bait.

Comin' up the wrong road,
just as nice as you please.

Let's give this eastern dude
a real western-type welcome.

Come on.

- Good work.
- Yeah.

Take 'em 24 hours
to find him.

Yeah, if he's lucky.

And if he's not..

...he's gonna be
around here a long while.

Anyway, he's out of our hair.

Come on, we got work to do.

- Hello.
- Buenos dias.

I'm Wonder Woman. I'm looking
for my friend Major Trevor.

He's staying here
at the ranch?

We are expecting Major Trevor
but he hasn't arrived yet.

- Enter, por favor.
- Thank you.

That's very strange, because
his plane landed hours ago.

Hi.

I'm afraid Charlie
will not answer you.

He does not speak.

Oh, I see.

Charlie.

Uh, I'm kind of worried
about my friend Major Trevor.

Have you seen him?

You have? Where?

Can you take me to him?

Thank you very much.

- Steve?
- 'Yeah, down here.'

- Well, thanks, Wonder Woman.
- You're welcome.

No telling how long I'd be down
there if you hadn't showed up.

Well, I just came
from the Diamond H

and Charlie there is really
the one you have to thank.

Well, thank you, Charlie.

Since when is Texas
part of your territory?

Well, since I
found out rustlers

were tryin' to sabotage
the war effort.

- I'm glad to have you here.
- I'm glad to be here, Steve.

Do you mind if I, uh,
stay around and help?

Oh, not at all.

I can use all
the help I can get.

You're a lucky man,
Major Trevor

if what J.P. here
is sayin' is true.

Every word of it.
It's exactly what happened.

Whoever it was, deliberately
trapped Major Trevor.

Yeah, if it hadn't
been for Won..

A good Samaritan who helped
me out, I'd still be there.

Yeah, guess you would
at that.

Where'd you say
this incident took place?

About a mile
south of Twin Forks.

I'll look into it
right away, J.P.

Good.

You know, sheriff,
sounds like to me that

somebody's out
to scare Trevor off.

And I'm out to arrest
anybody who that may be.

Now, hold on.
There's no need for you to go.

Billy Joe and me,
we can handle it.

Come on, honest,
we can, eh?

J.P.?

You've got a wonderful
group of children.

Well, thank you.
I'm very proud of them.

Especially Charlie.

If it hadn't been for him,
I'd still be trapped out there.

Yes.
He's a terrific boy.

Why can't he talk?

Not can't.

Won't.

He's sort of become a loner.

Kinda climbed up inside himself
and stayed there.

Why?

His father was my foreman

here at the Diamond H and..

Well, him and Charlie was just
close as could be.

He was killed at Pearl Harbor

and Charlie's
been that way ever since.

What about his mother?

She died during childbirth.

So you're adopting Charlie

along with the other
war orphans?

I'm trying to,
the courts are checking to see

if he has any relatives
with prior claims.

Well, I'm sure he'll make
a very fine son.

He certainly will.

Oh, Maria?

- Si, senor?
- 'We have houseguests.'

'Would you check and see
if their rooms are ready?'

Muy bien, senor.

Uh, how about your luggage?

Oh, uh, well, I'm afraid

I don't have any-any luggage.

Wonder Woman travels
very light.

Well, I'm sure Maria will have
something you can wear, okay.

Thank you very much.

Okay, Emmett. Come on, give.
What happened?

Well, we saw these Bar 6
beeves grazing along side

the creek and decided
to give 'em a lift.

What beeves? Trevor,
I'm talking about Steve Trevor.

You said you were gonna keep
him out of the way for me.

Oh, that boy's caught between
a rock and a hard place.

No one' gonna find him
for a long time.

I was talking to him at
Diamond H for your information.

- That's impossible.
- Oh, yeah!

I put him in a hole
and put a rock on top of him.

You know what I think,
I think you two boys

have been drinking too much
rot-gut whiskey.

You have been seeing things,
my man.

Not true, Walt.
We haven't had a drink.

- Ah, horse..
- Now, look, Walt, I told you..

We've got some
beef commitments

and by golly,
we're gonna fill them.

And I don't care
if Steve Trevor

and the whole United States
Marine Corps

shows up around here.

We started something,
we're gonna finish it.

You got that?

Yes, my bracelets
do have the power

to fend off bullets

but it is only because they're
made of a very special metal.

Now does anybody else
have any questions to ask?

Yes.
What about your Magic Belt?

What is its secret?

Well, if I told you that,
it wouldn't be

a secret any longer,
would it?

What I can tell you, is that
it's my source of strength

when I'm away from home.

- Where's your home?
- On Paradise Island.

With a belt like that,
I'd be king of England.

Well, you're all very special
and you are all different.

Yeah, but I want to be much
bigger and stronger, like you.

You can be, Sen.

You can all be what you
truly want to be.

- How?
- How?

Well, let me tell you.

If you take really
good care of yourselves

and you eat right and you get
plenty of exercise..

Speaking of exercise,
I do think I remember

Maria saying something
about chores.

- No.
- She didn't say that.

Of course not.

I'll talk to you
all later, okay?

- Alright.
- 'Okay.'

- Bye.
- 'Bye.'

Oh, hi.

Oh, please sit down, Mr. Hadley.

I hope I'm not interrupting
anything important.

No, no, not at all.

J.P. and I were just discussing
the rustlers.

I was telling Steve that knowing
when and where to strike

is what has made them
so successful.

Well, it sounds like
it's an inside job to me.

- 'Exactly.'
- It's possible.

But we can't even
find their hideout

much less the informer.

That's what we're here for.

How many ranchers have been hit
by the rustlers?

Every one, of course, the
Diamond H has been hit the most

because we have more cattle.

If we could only get an idea

of who their leader is

it'd be a start.

We've got a pretty good idea
who the leader is.

A fellow by the name of
Emmett Dawson.

Proving it's a whole
different story.

'Of course,
even if we could prove it'

he is in hiding
and a hard man to find.

Just how much
do you know about him?

Well, Emmett was our local
dead-end kid.

Born and raised here,
but we're not proud of it.

What caused him to go bad?

He was an orphan.

Never had any folks
to bring him up proper.

Maybe that's why
I took on those war orphans

so they wouldn't
end up like Emmett.

You're a very generous man,
Mr. Hadley.

I'm a very lucky man.

Those youngsters
fill a need.

Jeff's mother and I would've
had enough kids

to form our own baseball team

if she'd lived

but I guess life's nothing
if it's not filled with ifs.

- Yeah, come on, Charlie.
- Come on, Charlie.

- 'Hello, Wonder Woman.'
- Hello.

- Maybe you can help.
- Oh, sure. If I can.

In addition to being antisocial,
Charles is also selfish.

He flatly refuses
to teach us how to lasso.

Hey, Wonder Woman's
got a lasso, too.

Oh, yes, but mine
happens to be magic.

You see, anyone that's bound
with it must tell the truth.

With all due respects, I find
that rather hard to believe.

- Would you like to try it?
- Most certainly.

Alright. Let me see.

How old are you?

- Eleven.
- How old did you say?

- Eleven.
- Okay.

Let's see how this fits.

Now, how old are you?

Ten and a half.

First he was 11, now 10.
How come?

Yeah. How come?

Well, my magic lasso
forced him to tell the truth.

But how'd you know he was lying?

Well, he wasn't actually lying

just stretching the truth
a little bit.

Most boys Freddie's age
like to add a few months on

to their age.

I didn't mean to
embarrass you, Freddie.

Just to sort of
teach you a lesson.

Linc? Freddie? Sen?

Bring inside.

Looks like someone's
calling you.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

I'm afraid we forgot
to empty the trash.

- Excuse us.
- Oh, yes.

Uh, I got some
information for you.

I'm listening.

First, I want to know about
that business with Steve Trevor.

What about it?

You promised no one would
get hurt.

Hey, nobody did,
did they?

Come on, give.
What's the information?

Well, it's the herd.

My dad's having
part of it moved down

to the North 40
tomorrow morning.

What about security?

Well, we ain't got
none at night anymore.

Three more of our hands
got drafted.

Trevor ain't alone, though.

He's got Wonder Woman
helping him.

Wonder Woman.

She's the one who strung him
out of the trap.

Don't you worry about that.
We'll take care of her.

All we need
is one more big haul.

We'll all be a lot richer.

You just keep doing your work,
okay, kid?

That's all.

Yeah, well, d-don't count on it.

Why? What's wrong with you?

What do you mean?

Hey.

Is your conscience
bothering you again?

I hate doing this informing.

Let me tell you

what your daddy is doing to you
is a whole lot worse.

Yeah. Ignoring his own
flesh and blood.

'Spending all that time
with those other kids.'

I mean, they are
total strangers.

I don't like to say this,
but..

I don't think your daddy gives
a hoot what happens to you.

It's just a good thing
that you've got

loyal friends like us around.

- Yeah, I guess you're right.
- Sure.

Well, listen, the first thing
we have to find out is

where does Wonder Woman
get all her strength from?

And, uh, that will be
up to you.

- Up to me?
- Mm-hmm.

You're gonna have to
help us find out.

Okay...son?

Well, yeah, I guess.

Alright.

I see your ten
and raise you a twenty.

Cards to the players.

Sounding good, son.

Howdy, boys.

Got some news for you.

Seems like Wonder Woman
helped out

Steve Trevor out of
the trap y'all sprung.

I told you we had him in a trap.

Okay, so you told the truth.

The main thing is
the man got away.

What's she doing in Texas?

Well, it seems like
she's gonna help

Steve Trevor run us
out of business

or so she thinks.

Hey, deal me
in the next hand, eh?

Here you go, son.
Thank you.

Don't forget your chips, now.

Alrighty.

After I, uh, clean you pigeons
out of your money

we can discuss cleaning out
the Diamond H

out of their cattle and cutting
all ties with the mob.

Right, Emmett?

I still say they've got to be
getting their information

someway from the inside.

Maybe, but from who?

How long have you known
your sheriff?

- Hansen Bodie?
- Yeah.

Just all my life, that's all.

Hansen and I started out
in school together

and I've never known
a more honest man

or a better sheriff.

At least not until
a couple of years ago.

Hansen doesn't cut it
as good as he used to.

He is getting older.
I guess we all are.

That's why he hired
on that deputy, Walt Lampkin.

Walt Lampkin?
What about him?

Oh, we've known him
for about a year or so

isn't that right, son?

Uh, yeah. Uh..

He came here from Montana.

'Highly recommended, too.'

He had testimonial letters
from the chief of police

the mayor, a lot of VIPs.

Well, what else do you know
about the man, personally?

Well, he's a bachelor.

Claims to be 4-F
because of a pierced eardrum.

I guess, I really don't know
much about him.

- Jeff?
- Uh..

Well, he does seem
to know his job.

I think I'll run an FBI check
on him just to make sure.

Use our phone.

Oh, thanks, J.P.,
but I'd feel a lot more secure

if I drove out to the air base
and used their scrambler system.

- Ah, excuse me.
- Want to come along?

Oh, no, I think I'll stay here

and, uh, try to make a friend.

Gracias, Maria.

Charlie?

Can I help?

Yes? Terrific.

Uh, I-I tried to reach
Walt Lampkin

but he's in court
and can't be disturbed.

- So?
- 'Just give him a message.'

Tell him that Major Trevor's
on his way to the air base

and that he's gonna run
a FBI check on him.

When did Trevor leave
to the base?

About, uh, 15 minutes ago,
by jeep.

I got to go.

Oh, uh, sorry to hold you up.
I had to take care of something.

Oh, that's alright.
Your dad's waiting outside.

Charlie, are you sure you don't
want to come with us?

Okay, let's go.

Getting a little
saddle-weary?

No, but I think the horse is
getting a little people-weary.

I think the horses could use
a little water.

'I think you're right.
Shall we?'

Snake!

Whoa, horse!

Whoa! Whoa!

♪ Wonder Woman ♪♪

Ho! Whoa!

There. Hey, wait, now,
be careful.

- Can you move it?
- Ah!

- Ah, a little.
- Okay.

I think he just has
a sprained ankle.

- Are you alright, son?
- Yeah.

I thought it was all over.

Thank you.

I won't forget it.

Think you can ride back
to the ranch, son?

Yeah.

Listen, if you're sure
you're alright

I'd like to take
another look around.

- You be careful, okay?
- Ow!

Come on.

Settle down,
Wonder Woman. Whoa!

Take it easy now, girl,
come on.

Hey, let's go, grab her now.
Go get her, boy.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Let's go, Wonder Woman.
Did y'all lose something?

Come on! Come and get it.
Put her in the car.

Just like you said, Walt,
without her Magic Belt

she's just another woman.

Hello, yes,
this is Major Steve Trevor

calling from Texas.

I'm fine, thanks.
Listen.

I need an urgent background
report on a Walter Lampkin.

You are a regular spitfire.
There you go.

It's a funny thing
about ghost towns.

Everything in them goes to pot,
except the jail cells.

They always keep working.
See you.

'Okay, Billy Joe,
let's get that dude.'

Let's show him some
real driving, boy.

Good afternoon, major.

Begging your pardon.

Would y'all mind
telling us how come

you didn't
stop back there

when you were signaled, sir?

Instinct.

I got a hunch you know
where I've been.

And I've got a hunch
that you are right.

You're a phony, Lampkin.
An impostor.

Hmm!

The real Walter Lampkin

died a hero's death
in the South Pacific.

'You must have adopted
his identity'

stolen his letters
of recommendation

and set up shop here.

Probably to run
the rustling operation.

Well, well, what do you know?

Looks like the war hero has done

his homework, huh, Billy Joe?

You are a problem now, major.

I just don't know what
I'm gonna have to do with you..

...sir.

Come.

Charles, you spoke.

Wonder Woman is our friend.
She needs our help.

Here's where we all must help.
Wonder Woman is locked inside.

- What do we do?
- Let's use this.

Go.

'Kids, what are you doing here?'

Wonder Woman,
are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.
But how did you find me?

- It was Charlie.
- Yes, he spoke.

Charlie, did you really speak?

You said we were friends.

And I couldn't
leave you here like this.

Oh, Charlie.

Thank you so much.

I told you we'd be
friends, Charlie.

Okay. Let's go.

You mean that
Lampkin and Hanks

just locked you in that cell
and just left you there?

That's right, if it hadn't
been for my little friends

I'd probably still be there.

Thanks, kids.

I just can't tell you
how proud I am of you.

And I'll bet Maria
will be proud of you, too.

She has got a real surprise
for you.

Hot apple pie,
fresh out of the oven.

Don't let it get cold, now.

- Save a piece for me.
- Okay!

I just can't wait till I get
my hands on that Walt Lampkin.

You know, what
I don't understand?

is why he tipped his hand

or even how he knew
about me being here.

Dad.

There's something
I gotta tell you.

Wonder Woman s-saving my life
like she did..

It got me to thinking

I just can't keep on
with what I am doing.

L-Lampkin runs the rustling
operation and..

And him and Dawson
are partners.

How do you know all this?

Because I'm in on it.

I'm their informer.

No, Jeff.

Why?

It had to do with Charlie,
Freddie and the other kids.

Before they came,
it was always you and me.

You're jealous?

You spent so much time
with them.

I needed you, too.

Well, why didn't you
say something?

I mean, tipping those rustlers
just to get even

with me doesn't make sense.

I didn't do it to get even.

Lampkin, he said you didn't
care about me.

But he did care.

He took an interest in me.

He didn't ignore me for a whole
bunch of other kids.

Jeff, that bunch of other kids,
they're war orphans

and they've lost
both their parents.

They're frightened children.

They're bewildered,
they're vulnerable.

They needed a strong,
fine man like your daddy.

But that doesn't mean

that your daddy loves you
any less than he ever did.

Son, everything
Wonder Woman said

is just as true
as it could be.

Those children needed help.
They were hurting bad.

Needed a lot of attention.

I thought you understood,
but I guess you didn't.

Walt Lampkin saw that,
and he used it on you.

What you did was wrong

but I guess I can understand
why it happened

and I'm as much to blame
for it all as you are.

No.

No, it was me, dad.

I-I was really mixed up.

But I'm not anymore.

Son, when you get
to feeling better

we'll talk this all out

and there won't ever be any more
misunderstandings between us.

Jeff, did Lampkin know
that Steve was on his way

to the air base and why?

- Yeah.
- We've got to get to them.

We don't know where to look.

Lampkin always knows
where you can find Dawson.

Why don't you try
their hideout?

It's that old ghost town,
due east of here.

'Okay, J.P., I'll meet you
at the ghost town.'

Fine.

Keep movin'.
Get the door, Dawson.

Here we go, big fella.

You want room service

you ring for it, okay?

In the freezer, big fella.

Well, with both of them
out of the way

we can concentrate
on our final shipment.

Good deal,
'cause this time tomorrow

we're gonna be plain
old-fashioned retired.

- You bet.
- Don't worry, Emmett.

Worry?
Who's worried?

We'll get him!

Get it on! Get in on!

You take Wonder Woman.
You get the cowboy.

♪ Wonder Woman ♪♪

Hey, hold it, wh-what-what's
going on? Hey! Ho! Ho!

Well, from the boots up,
he looks just like Dawson

our dead-end kid.

- Be careful. You okay?
- I got it.

M35.

- I don't have it.
- Hey.

I have to leave now.

Linc, take good care
of yourself, okay?

Don't worry about me,
Wonder Woman.

And Babette, good-bye.

And, Sen, my friend..

- Goodbye, Wonder Woman.
- Goodbye.

- And you, you little rascal.
- Cheerio, Wonder Woman.

It was a pleasure
to make your acquaintance.

And, Jeff..

Good luck.

Thank you.

- Sen, where's Charlie?
- Oh, he's over there.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

- See you.
- Bye.

Bye.

Well, Charlie

I have to go now.

But we're friends and friends
will always be friends.

That's right.

I'll come back and see you
as often as I can, okay?

Here, I made this for you
so you will always remember me.

Oh!

Charlie, I'll never forget you.
I promise.

It's beautiful
and it fits.

Thank you very much.

Now I have to think
of a gift to give to you.

Is there anything
you want special?

- There is something.
- Name it.

Would you teach me
how to lasso

with a real rope?

Being a Navajo Indian who can't
even rope is embarrassing.

Charlie Bright Eagle,
you got a deal.

- You mean it?
- Sure.

- You'll really teach me?
- Yes.

I'll really teach you.

- Right now, if you like.
- I like.

Okay.
