:16:02
I fear you not and laugh at your anger.
:16:05
For I have proved my courage in battle.
:16:08
- A vile seducer outrages...
- What's that?

:16:12
- What's what?
- What did he just say?

:16:16
"A vile seducer."
:16:17
That's what I thought he said.
:16:19
What kind of a show
are you giving here, anyway?

:16:22
This is a comic opera, Mr. Pierce.
:16:24
La Belle Hélène.
You know, the story of Helen of Troy?

:16:27
It's one of our big, big successes.
:16:29
You see, in this I play Paris.
:16:30
He's a son of the king of Troy, and he's...
:16:32
- The handsomest man in the world.
- Him?

:16:35
- Yes.
- Of course, I wear heavy makeup.

:16:38
What part do you play?
:16:40
I play Hélène. The most beautiful woman.
:16:42
That I can believe.
:16:45
And this is my husband.
:16:47
- You married?
- No. In the play.

:16:49
But I'm not in love with my husband.
I am, how do you say, flighty?

:16:53
And besides, he is much older than I am.
:16:55
Always wanting me to behave myself
and to do what he thinks is good for me.

:16:59
But I'm young and very beautiful,
and do only what I enjoy.

:17:04
Nope. It won't go in Cheyenne.
:17:06
- No?
- But this is a classic, Mr. Pierce.

:17:08
What's so classy about her running around
with you instead of her husband?

:17:12
But he is so much nicer,
and he lets me do what I want.

:17:15
Last month, the mayor's wife started
running around with a young stud like him...

:17:18
and the mayor shot him stone dead.
There wasn't a man in town...

:17:21
that didn't shake his hand for doing it,
even the sheriff.

:17:25
No, Healy, you can't get away with
making fun out of marriage in Cheyenne.

:17:29
But it's all right to kill people in Cheyenne?
:17:31
Mr. Pierce, why don't you wait
until you see the show...

:17:34
with the pretty costumes
and the orchestra playing...

:17:36
And the customers leaving?
Chew up a little scenery...

:17:39
that's what they want around here:
blood and thunder.

:17:42
If all you got is this fiddle-faddle,
you can pack up and keep going.

:17:45
I don't want you.
:17:48
You're losing your charm, baby.
:17:51
Well, Doc?
:17:53
All right, we'll rehearse later.
