- How much is beaver worth this year?
- Six dollars a pound.
:02:04
I'll trade you for a new plow...
:02:07
...two tubs of lard,
a barrel of molasses...
:02:10
...25 pounds of chewing tobacco.
:02:12
And you wouldn't have a wife under the
counter? I'm looking for a wife.
:02:16
- Any special brand?
- Well, yes.
:02:19
I like a widow woman
that ain't afraid to work.
:02:22
There's me and my six brothers.
:02:24
Place is like a pigsty,
and the food tastes worse.
:02:27
So I made up my mind. The next time
I come into town, I'll get a wife.
:02:31
That's a fine thing, I must say!
:02:33
Thinking you could trade for a wife
like a bag of meal.
:02:36
No, ma'am.
I wouldn't say that, ma'am.
:02:39
None of our gals is going to go off
to bear country with you...
:02:44
...to cook and wash and slave
for seven slumocky backwoodsmen!
:02:48
There's 10 men
for every woman out here.
:02:51
You want a wife,
go back east.
:02:53
There's no unmarried females
in this town?
:02:58
Good morning, Mrs. Bixby.
:03:00
- We're having a quilting bee.
- Have any odds and ends?
:03:03
I'll see.
:03:04
- How about these?
- Just a minute.
:03:06
- What's the matter? They married?
- They're spoken for.
:03:10
- Just spoken for. You had me scared.
- I tell you, they're promised.
:03:15
A lady can change her mind,
can't she?
:03:19
Pay him no mind, girls.
:03:20
Load his things.
Don't keep him waiting.
:03:22
I'm in no hurry.
I got all afternoon.
:03:25
You're wasting your time. You won't
find a girl in this town to marry you.
:03:30
Whenever I set my mind to something,
I get it.
:03:33
Plowing 20 acres in a day...
:03:35
...or dropping a tree
right where I want it.
:03:38
I'm here to get me a wife.
:03:39
I don't aim to go
back home empty-handed.
:03:43
You're all pretty and fresh and young.
And I'll keep you in mind.
:03:46
But I ain't deciding on nothing
until I look them all over.
:03:58
Bless your beautiful hide
