1
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: Slaughter's my name, Luke Slutter. Cattle's my business. It's a

2
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,160
tough business, it's big business. I've got a big stake

3
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,960
in it, and there's no man west of the Rio

4
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:24,600
Grande big enough to take it from me.

5
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:46,759
Speaker 2: Luke Slaughter of Tombstone. Luke Slutter of Tombstone. Civil War

6
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,560
cavalryman turned Arizona cattleman. Across the territory, from Yuma to

7
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,960
Fort Defiance, from Flagstaff to the Wachukas, and below the

8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,159
border through Chihuahua and Sonora. His name was respected or feared,

9
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,920
depending on which out of the law you were on.

10
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:06,599
Man of vision, man of legend. Luke Slaughter of Tombstone.

11
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,799
Speaker 1: You get used to gunfire and Tombstone. Usually you hear

12
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,519
a single shot or at most two, and one gun

13
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,640
slinger goes back to the bar and the other goes

14
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,280
to boothill. But when you hear a whole fusilade of

15
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,200
shots in the middle of the afternoon, you think of

16
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,120
the ok Corral and head for cover.

17
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,359

Speaker 3: Oh, that don't make no difference.

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 4: You don't know what he's done to me? What Well,

81
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:27,480
I never told you this, Luke, never told nobody. But

82
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,319
my family died back in Texas when I was just

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,480
a little schaeffer and his folks took me in. Well,

84
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:38,240
a few years ago there was a killing. Nobody ever

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,920
proved who did it, but he threw suspicion on me,

86
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,360
and after that, folks just didn't want me around.

87
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: That's why I came out here.

88
00:04:46,439 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: If you didn't do it, why did you run away?

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,759
Speaker 3: Page, Well, what would you do?

90
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 4: He was top dog, slick with cards and smart with

91
00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:58,439
the gals. I was just the poor kid, cousin. You

92
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,920
can't draw to an inside straight light.

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: You've drawn some real right cards since you've been in Tombstone, Page.

94
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,240
You got yourself a small outfit, and you've got the

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,120
makings for a good cattleman. Now you're going to be married.

96
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,360
You're supposed to be happy.

97
00:05:13,079 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: Well I am happy, Luke, of course I am, but

98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,680
I sure wish she hadn't shown up right now.

99
00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,079
Speaker 1: He'll be on the El Pazo stage tomorrow morning. I

100
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,040
forget about it.

101
00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:27,399
Speaker 3: All right, Luke, I will dog on.

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 4: I'm going down the Crystal Palace and start celebrating.

103
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: Don't overdo it, Page, Well.

104
00:05:31,879 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: You know me, Luke, I never drink too much.

105
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,639
Speaker 1: You better not. You're going to be a married man

106
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:37,439

Speaker 3: Later and later.

00:08:25,079 --> 00:08:27,920
nothing to around nineteen hundred dollars and stuck and equipment.

167
00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: There you hear that, burly.

168
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,399
Speaker 4: I may not be the biggest pee in the pot,

169
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,039
but I'm in it.

170
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,799
Speaker 5: Butty small part seems to me. All right now, I

171
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,960
call it your fifty and raise it three hundred. What

172
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:46,840
does your little outfit say about that page?

173
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 3: For the none just three hundred?

174
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,159
Speaker 4: Well, now that requires a little study.

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: Drop out page. Let him have it, not, asked, Luke?

176
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,279
Speaker 3: You hold on?

177
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:07,639
Speaker 4: Now he's got two aces, a king and a douce showing,

178
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:13,360
and I got me two kings and ace and eighth spot.

179
00:09:14,039 --> 00:09:16,399
Now that makes the whole card tell a difference?

180
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,039
Speaker 5: Normal, Yes, sure, come on, put up a shut up cousin.

181
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,639
This ain't no kid game. We left that back in test.

182
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: Turn your cards over, page, you.

183
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 4: Heard what my little outfits work, Burly, Page, listen to it.

184
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,519
I bet it, I bet it all.

185
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:35,159
Speaker 1: Two years of your life. You'll bet that and your future.

186
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,639
Speaker 4: I bet it, and you got a witness, Burly.

187
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: I'll pay to see that whole card. Your call.

188
00:09:45,039 --> 00:09:50,039
Speaker 4: That's daddy, that's just dandy. I got me the case king,

189
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080
and that makes three of them.

190
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 5: Oh that's good, Paige, but not good enough. Three aces paid.

191
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: Three aces.

192
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:11,759
Speaker 1: But I was sure you come on, page, Yeah, yeah,

00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:16,279
Speaker 5: Oh uh, you can give me the bill of sale

195
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:17,840

Speaker 3: He's always knitted me.

203
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 4: He did it again, just like when we was kids.

209
00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: Luke, What am I gonna tell Selena.

210
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,279

222
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:57,200

Speaker 1: Miss Cardele Slaughter. I found him, Well, where is he,

237
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:21,279
Miss Cordell? When a man's getting married, he's sometimes well,

238
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,440
in Page's case, he did he Well, what I mean

239
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,639
to say is he Well, he's had too much to

240
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,440
drink and he lost quite a bit at gambling.

241
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 7: Isn't that just like a man?

242
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,799

explain it to you in the morning, Miss Cordell, I'm.

245
00:13:42,639 --> 00:13:45,279
Speaker 6: Not so sure I want him to. He's going to

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,519
go out and drink and gamble on the very days

247
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:48,200
proposed to me?

248
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 7: What will he be up to after he's married me.

249
00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 5: Slaughter, excuse me for interrupting, But when there's a pretty

250
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,840
gall around, I ain't going to make too many excuses.

251
00:13:59,159 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: You'll have to excuse us. Webster, web busy Webster.

252
00:14:02,519 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 5: Well, now, miss I see you know the name. Could

253
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,720
that be maybe because you're a friend of my young

254
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:09,200
cousin Paige Webster?

255
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 7: Why yes, then.

256
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 5: I'm right happy to make your acquaintance. Miss. I'm Burley Webster,

257
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,919
Page's cousin from Texas.

258
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 7: How do you do, mister Webster. I'm Selina Cardell.

259
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 5: That's a right pretty name to go with an even

260
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,080
prettier gal. If you'll excuse me being so bold, Miss.

261
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: Cordell, maybe I ought to tell you right now, Webster,

262
00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:31,000
this Cordell is engaged to her cousin.

263
00:14:31,919 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: I must say he picked himself the puttiest Philly in

264
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:34,840
the corral.

265
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 6: And I must say that sounds like Texas flattery to me.

266
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 5: Ain't nothing of the kind. Only I show him. Sorry,

267
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,440

268
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,840
with you, missus Cardell. Thank you, but of course I

269
00:14:48,919 --> 00:14:50,080

270
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: You said you were leaving on the morning stage.

271
00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,519

00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't expect to.

278
00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 6: Well.

284
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,759
Speaker 4: See he sure he is a smooth talker, ain't he, Luke?

285
00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 5: Only that don't sound like cousin talk to me.

286
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: He's got pages outfit. Now he's after his girl.

287
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: What you can do about it? Luke?

288
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing. I don't know, and

289
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:57,919
I'm sure gonna try. Web Sir, I want to talk

290
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,240
to you.

291
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 5: I thought you'd be in bed by now.

292
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,639
Speaker 1: I've been waiting up for you. Where's miss Cordell.

293
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: Don't see that's any your business? But she's safe home

294
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,279
for the night. Meaning to Mars another day. You aren't

295
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:19,759
going to be here tomorrow, Webster, what'd you say? You're

296
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,159
leaving Tombstone right now?

297
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: Oh? Amma, yes you recognize this deck of cards? Oh?

298
00:16:28,519 --> 00:16:31,559
What about? This is the deck you used when you

299
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,279
beat your cousin out of his outfit. It's a marked deck.

300
00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: Word you find in your room upstairs? What car you

301
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,360
got going through my stuff?

302
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:43,039
Speaker 1: I never gone through Amend's belongings before without his permission.

303
00:16:43,799 --> 00:16:45,320
I made an exception in your case.

304
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: Well, I've got a good notion to.

305
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,279
Speaker 1: What, Webster. I'm going to give you a choice. There's

306
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,519
a saddled horse at the hitching bar out back with

307
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,480
your bags strapped on. You get on it and head

308
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:03,480
east out of Tombstone and don't look back, or you

309
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:04,480
get set to draw.

310
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,839
Speaker 5: Sure you'd like that, wouldn't you, Slaughter? You'd be in

311
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,480
the fastest gun in the territory.

312
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:15,039
Speaker 1: Which will it be?

313
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 5: Well, now this is a one horse town anyway, No

314
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,000
sense in getting ruffled.

315
00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: Up over it. Which will it be? Uh?

316
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,079
Speaker 5: Couldn't be that you want Selena for yourself?

317
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: Could he get going? Sure?

318
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:40,839
Speaker 5: Slaughter? Sure? Anything you say?

319
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Who's that look? Sluttering? Luke? How you feeling? Boy? Better?

320
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,079
Speaker 3: I guess I don't know.

321
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: What are you figuring to do now?

322
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, Luke, I just don't know what to do.

323
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Seems to me there's nothing much left for you in Tombstone.

324
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:21,559
Lost your outfit, and from the way she talked last night,

325
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,920
you've lost your girl.

326
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 3: It don't surprise me none.

327
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: I'll be glad to take you to one hundred dollars

328
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,000
to get started somewhere else.

329
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:33,519
Speaker 3: What. Thanks, Luke, You're a real friend.

330
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: Here. Let's see, it's nine o'clock. Now, suppose you come

331
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,599
over to my hotel at ten.

332
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 4: I'll have the money for you and I'll pay you

333
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:45,839

334
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:47,000
sure you.

335
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: Well, i'll see you in an hour.

336
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,559
Speaker 7: Wanting, mister Slaughter, wanting.

337
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: Miss Cardell, I'm sorry to disturbed. All right, he's all right.

338
00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:07,440
Why do you care?

339
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,519
Speaker 7: I'm worried and worried about him.

340
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: You weren't talking that way last night.

341
00:19:11,759 --> 00:19:13,839
Speaker 6: I know, but that was last night, and I've thought

342
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,319
and thought about it. I haven't slept a wink, mister Slaughter.

343
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,319
I was wrong saying what I did. Page did me

344
00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:21,119
in the honor of asking me to be his wife,

345
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,039
and I was proud to accept. Mister Slaughter, that's well,

346
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,839
that's sacred. A man and a woman have got to

347
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,559
forgive each other many things before their really husband and wife.

348
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,440
I mean, well, I love him, mister Slaughter.

349
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: What about his cousin?

350
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 6: Oh him, he's nothing but a fast talking ladies man.

351
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,559
Page is worth five of him.

352
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: That's just what I wanted to hear, Miss Cardell. I'm

353
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,759
going to ask you to do something.

354
00:19:51,839 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 7: What mister slaughter.

355
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: I want you to be an actress, mister slaughter. It's

356
00:19:57,839 --> 00:19:58,759
just for a few minutes.

357
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 6: For Page's sake, all right, I'll do anything for him.

358
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,519
Speaker 1: All right, Now, here's what I want you to do.

359
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:07,200
Be down at the San Jose.

360
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,759
Speaker 5: You've thunk up some goods in your time route. But

361
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,920
I declare this hornswoggle beat.

362
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: Some more, I hope, so witch your tone?

363
00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: Oh here he comes, Well here I am ten o'clock

364
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,160
on the dock.

365
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: Great, I have some bad news for you, Page. I

366
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:36,200
can't give you the money, but you should. I know,

367
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,960
maybe I should say I've changed my mind, but you too.

368
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,759
When are you gonna stop whimpering like a scrubby calf?

369
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,559
But you promise, Why don't you just start walking? Maybe

370
00:20:47,559 --> 00:20:49,519
you'll find some sheep hurders will help you out.

371
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 4: But look, all I'm asking is to borrow the money

372
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,039
you promised to lend me.

373
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you're good for it, Paige.

374
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,839
Speaker 4: Well, if that's the way you feel, I just get

375
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:03,799
along with Hello pay oh, hello Selena.

376
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 7: Where have you been since asked me to marry? Let's see?

377
00:21:08,319 --> 00:21:09,079
When was that?

378
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,079
Speaker 4: Why?

379
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,759
Speaker 7: Declare it was only yesterday?

380
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,079
Speaker 3: I uh, I had a little trouble, Selina.

381
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,640

Speaker 3: Well, I lost.

383
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 7: Some money gambling, I suppose.

384
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, Selena.

385
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 6: A man who'll go out and gamble on the very

386
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:29,079
day he proposes mustn't want to be married very.

387
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 3: Much, Oh Selena, that that's not so.

Speaker 4: He's a dirty, misbegotten side wider page.

392
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 7: What a thing to say about your own.

393
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 4: Cousin, Oh, Selena, you don't like him.

394
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 6: He took me to supper last night. After all, you

395
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:54,480
weren't around.

396
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: Selena, it appears like you're an extra spoke in the

397
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,119
wheel page. Why don't you slope like you've been planning to.

398

Speaker 3: You may be able to do it.

404
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 4: Look, but you're gonna know you've been in a fright.

405
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:24,839
I ain't running anymore, Luke, and you ain't gonna beat me.
