1:03:02
Damn shame.
1:03:03
I was skinnin' buffalo
at Yellow Horse Creek, Texas.

1:03:07
Pay was great, but I couldn't
stand that open country.

1:03:11
I'll bet there weren't
6 trees between there and Canada.

1:03:14
I love the freedom of the open
prairies. You love your freedom too.

1:03:19
Yeah, yeah. I went off it once.
1:03:22
But my wife and l
are travelin' different roads now.

1:03:25
She didn't like my friends,
she didn't like me when I was myself.

1:03:31
My drinkin' picked up,
she got a bellyful of it and left.

1:03:35
Now I'm livin' happily
with my cat, General Sterling Price,

1:03:39
and my friend Chen Lee,
the Chinaman. They let a man be.

1:03:45
Be what, Marshal?
1:03:49
Be his self. He don't have to change.
1:03:51
But change is progress. You're not
too old to change. Life is a school.

1:03:57
Well, teacher, don't start
pressin' your dress for my graduation.

1:04:02
'Cause I intend to stay
in my own low class, indefinitely.

1:04:09
May I have more 'possum stew?
- Opossum. An American marsupial.

1:04:15
Wolf, give me
some of that owl meat.

1:04:18
It might make me smart.
1:04:22
A wise old owl sat on an oak,
the more he heard, the less he spoke.

1:04:25
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
Now, wasn't that a wise old bird.

1:04:30
I guess there's
a lesson in that for me. For us both.

1:04:35
How many miles did we
ride today? - About 20.

1:04:39
It feels like more than that.
- Wait a minute. Maybe I can help.

1:04:48
That feels good.
1:04:50
I'll bet your backside
hurts worse than anything.

1:04:53
Ayah, well,
we can't do anything about that.

1:04:58
Well, I reckon not.
