:23:01
Well, I reckon I'll just
have to look for it myself, Miss Cruther.
:23:05
Mornin', Miss Charlotte.
:23:07
Get out, Luke Standish!
:23:10
You smirkin'Judas...
:23:12
comin' around here
with your lyin' tricks!
:23:14
You oughta be ashamed of yourself.
:23:16
Papa gave you the first job
you ever had in this town.
:23:18
Without him, you wouldn't
be Sheriff or anything else.
:23:20
I know that, Miss Charlotte.
:23:22
- That's why I'm trying to help you.
- Help me?
:23:24
You had orders
to leave this house long ago.
:23:27
If I'd been doin' my job,
you'd have been long gone by now.
:23:31
If you are so anxious to help me...
:23:34
why don't you leave me alone?
:23:35
And tell everybody to stop threatenin' me
with cuttin' off my water and electricity.
:23:41
I can't, Miss Charlotte.
:23:43
What you did today
puts it right out of my hands.
:23:45
Threatenin' people's one thing,
but shootin' at 'em's another.
:23:48
I got orders now to see
that you're gone within 10 days.
:23:52
They can hold up on the blastin'
they've gotta do...
:23:54
and keep the men and equipment workin' on the
approach road on the other side of the river.
:23:57
But if you aren't out of here
by the end of next week...
:23:59
the county commissioner is gonna
have you up for criminal action.
:24:02
But this is my home.
I haven't any other place to go.
:24:07
- They can build their damn bridge anywhere.
- No, ma'am.
:24:10
They have to build it to meet up
with the road on the other side of the river.
:24:14
There isn't any alternative.
:24:16
End of next week,
this house is comin' down.
:24:21
When my cousin Miriam comes...
:24:23
she'll know how to deal
with the county commissioner.
:24:25
- I didn't know you were expectin' her.
- Well, I am.
:24:29
Afraid she won't make a bit of difference
as far as the bridge is concerned.
:24:33
We'll wait and see.
:24:35
I reckon we will. I ain't gonna take
that gun away from you, Miss Charlotte.
:24:38
I certainly hope you aren't
plannin' on using it again.
:24:41
Comin' in here to fetch you out
is the last thing I wanna do.
:24:44
Then don't come!
