The life and legend
Of wyatt earp
Of all the twisted, shifty,
Double-crossing john laws,
You're the worst.
You never had any
Intention of marrying emma.
Well, did you have
Any intention of
Breaking up
Your outfit of
Cattle thieves
And murderers?
- That's not the point!
- Well, what is?
You was in cahoots
With that city lawyer.
You still are.
Well, let me tell
You something, earp.
My boys have got
Every trail blocked.
They have?
Now that's
Right interesting.
You're under arrest,
Mr. Clanton.
All right, sonny.
Send for my lawyers.
- Not tonight.
- What do you mean?
I'm holding you
Incommunicado for a while.
On what charge?
Threatening the life
Of your future son-in-law,
Mr. Tom ware.
Well, emma ain't marrying
Him, by heaven!
I've got a father's right
To protect a child from
Making a mistake!
And as for you,
Mr. Earp...
I'm gonna whip you
With my bare hands.
Now look, mr. Clanton,
I don't wanna have to
Wrassle with you.
Wrassle?! I'm gonna
Knock your ears off!
( Groaning )
Why, you no good--
Stop it!
You useless excuse
For a marshal!
One of these days I'm gonna
Get a hold of you!
( Clanton shouts
Indistinctly )

Announcer:
"The life and legend
Of wyatt earp"...
Narrator:
Emma clanton was
The one respectable member
Of the notorious
Clanton outfit.
The girl's determination
To reform her father,
Old man clanton,
Had aroused wyatt's sympathy.
But her way of accomplishing
What she wanted
Confronted marshal earp
With a perilous choice.
Got him all fed
And watered for you, phin.
Well, that's fine.
Look, papa wanted me
To tell you
A couple of things.
Number one:
My sister em is
Coming in from
New orleans.
- Ooh, trouble.
- Number two:
All guards are to remain
Out of sight.
Number three:
A guard is to be posted
At the front gate
And that's to see that
None of the men ride in drunk...
You got that?
Yeah.
Oh, one more thing.
My sister em is a lady.
So there is to be no fighting,
No sh**ting of g*ns.
Nothing like that around
The bunkhouse or the corral.
You understand?
I've gotta go collect
Ike and billy
And deliver them
To papa sober, so they
Can say "howdy" to sis.
How come the old man
Put it all on you, phin?
Ringo and brocius
Are in charleston,
And the mclowerys
Are dipping cattle,
So papa says
I'm it.
You pass the word
About sis, hear?
Yeah.
Ha! Ha!
Here.
Here, take this out there.
And step it up 'cause
She'll be here any minute.
Just pump yourself now!
Now you-- you go out
And wash them windows.
Oh oh, wait a minute.
Come here.
You see them crystals?
I want every one
Of them crystals
Polished till they
Shine like a diamond.
Here.
How 'bout miss emma's
Room, boss?
Why, lucifer!
I plumb forgot that.
Ooh! Why it ain't
Been touched since
She left.
Go get a clean mop
And dust rag--
And will you stop
Fiddling with that doll?!
- Yes, sir.
- And hurry it up.
- Yes, sir.
- Keys.
Keys.
Keys.
What's holding you up, brad?
I'm a-coming, boss!
I'm telling you,
I aim to persuade that gal
To stay home
Where she belongs.
Ooh!
I thought I told you
To move that thing.
Now get a rug big enough
To cover that wet spot.
It'll never get dry
By the time she gets here--
Hold this.
Don't drop it!
That cost $ .
Hey, boss.
Hawkins just brung this
From tombstone.
Well, it's about time.
Brad, you do what you
Can there.
I gotta put these flowers
On mrs. Clanton's grave.
( Inhales deeply )
Fresh this time.
If they hadn't been,
I'd have p*stol-whipped
That hawkins personally.
Here, you help the boys.
Well, get at it.
It'll take more than
Dust cloths and flowers
To convince miss emmy.
Awfully good supper.
I haven't had food
Like this since I left.
And my,
Isn't the clanton family
Putting on airs.
Well, it's all in
Your honor, emma.
Yeah, we missed you.
Papa most of all.
Going to college,
Billy?
- Well, i--
- Him?
He figures that
He's too smart already.
Well, you got
A big mouth, ike!
Oh, come on, billy.
He's only having fun with you.
( Chuckles )
What about you, ike?
I thought you'd be
Married by now.
( Billy laughs )
Ike married?
The kind of girls
He runs around with
Nobody'd marry.
Hush up, phin.
Mind your manners.
Yeah, I don't see you
Doing so good either.
That reminds me.
Sally's waiting.
Papa, may I be
Excused please?
"Sally's waiting."
Galeyville sally.
( Laughs )
All of you
Is excused.
- Bye, em.
- Em and I wanna have
A little visit.
- All right.
- Bye, em.
Nice to have you home.
- Have a good day.
- Hey, ike, give me my hat!
( Mutters )
Bye, emma, papa.
( Chuckles )
What are you
Looking at, papa?
You!
You know being
In new orleans
Has changed you?
Oh, really?
Well, you're much more
Growed-up.
You haven't fallen
In love?
Maybe.
I'm not certain.
Well, who is he?
He's a lawyer.
His name is tom ware
And he wants
To marry me.
But-- but I decided to
Come home and think
About it.
Sensible.
He know anything
About cattle?
- No.
- Hmm.
He ride a horse?
Not very well.
Hmm.
Can he sh**t a . ?
( Chuckles )
He's a lawyer, papa!
Yes. Mm-hmm.
Ain't you--
Ain't you still
A mite sweet on
Wyatt earp?
Papa!
I'm just asking.
Well, he's not sweet
On me.
Besides,
He's a john law.
Well, he's a man,
By jove!
You know, uh,
I've been thinking.
Maybe a man of my age
Oughta take it easier.
Are you joking me?
No, I ain't.
If he'd just quit
Being a john law!
You know, I'd be
Mighty tempted to
Turn over most of
The ranches to you
And him.
Mind you,
Earp would
Have to quit.
I wouldn't rest easy
Knowing a john law
Was married
To my onliest daughter.
Papa, you mean it?
You'd-- you'd
Give up all this--
Now talk straight out, em.
I know I ain't
Always been law-abiding.
But you would retire?
You'd-- you'd break up
The clanton outfit?
Ask earp what he'll do.
I-- I just can't go
And propose to wyatt.
I've got my pride
Same as yours.
All right, I won't think
No more about it.
- Papa?
- Talk straight out, em.
I'd marry just about
Anybody to...
Get you out of
The business you're in.
You and my brothers.
( Exhales sharply )
Mm.
Right now...
You sure do remind me
Of your ma.
( Both lightly chuckle )
But I ain't promising
Nothing in advance.
No, of course not.
( Chuckles )
All right.
I'll talk to wyatt.
Well, you can't run
Into him accidental
Out here.
You better move in
To a hotel in town.
Uh, the best one.
And don't you do
No proposing.
You just sound him out.
A smart young lady
Knows how to do that.
Your ma did.
All right, papa.
I'll try.
( Chuckles )
I'll try.
You sure do remind me
Of your ma.
I know you're not
In love with me, wyatt.
But I have to find out
If papa really will retire
And break up the outfit.
Well, I sure hope he does.
He's powerful
And he's clever.
But one of these days,
His luck is gonna run out.
And I wouldn't enjoy
Having to k*ll him.
Well, then you'll help me?
It'll only be
A pretend engagement.
You see,
Papa's hinted that
If you will stop
Being a john law...
And marry me,
He'll stick to his part
Of the bargain.
I know it's shameless of me
Even to ask such a favor,
But this could be
Papa's last chance to quit.
Miss emma...
I'm very fond of you.
If you weren't a clanton
And I wasn't the marshal
Of tombstone...
Well, we both know.
Look, honestly, i--
I think you should go
To new orleans
And marry the lawyer.
Papa doesn't approve
Of tom.
( Laughs )
Well, frankly,
I don't think that
He'd actually like me
For a son-in-law either.
Besides, this idea
Of yours might not prove
That he's really
Willing to retire.
Well, the engagement
Doesn't have to be
Announced
If you're ashamed
If somebody found out.
Now that's not it
And you know it.
It's just that
It's complicated
And dangerous.
Oh, I'll help you.
It's just that i--
I wanna talk
To the old man first.
Your father isn't the kind
Of a man to fool around with.
You're welcome to
The use of my name,
But I think we oughta
Make sure it's gonna
Work first.
Thank you.
I mean that.
Come on in.
Get comfortable.
It's safer
Talking in here.
That guard of mine
Has got bigger ears
Than a tattletale wants.
Sit down.
( Sighs )
Now, uh, did, uh,
Em and you talk
Real personal?
Well, yes, we did.
Well, what did em say
In plain words?
Oh, just that, uh,
She was hoping that
You would retire.
Fiddle!
Well, ain't neither
Of you schoolchildren.
Why didn't you
Get down to cases?
Well, my deal
With em was...
That if, uh--
If you and her
Figured on marrying,
And if you'll get
Shed of that star--
Well, then I'd turn over
The business to you.
Lemonade for courage.
Might make me
A little bit dizzy
But, uh,
Here goes.
I've been thinking
A heap about this
Family inheritance
Business.
And I made up my mind!
Now what do you say
About the deal?
Well, if you really
Wanna quit--
Soon as you quit
Being a john law.
Well, all I have to do
Is resign,
But it, uh--
It may not be so easy for you.
Why not?
There's brocius, ringo,
The mclowerys.
Even your own boys,
They might make trouble.
Not if you're smart.
Now I called you
A lot of things, earp.
But I never called you
Stupid.
Well, thank you.
Tom mclowery
Is talking about
Pulling up stakes.
Frank will go along
With tom.
Ringo can be
Bought off.
Might have to g*n
Brocius and
Take care of behan,
But that ain't
No problem.
Why do you mean by
Take care of behan?
Well, you don't know as much
About my outfit as I thought.
When I and you
Start after behan,
We can send him up
For years
Without even f*ring
A sh*t.
Is this the clanton ranch?
Who are you?
My name is ware.
I'm from new orleans.
Is miss emma clanton
At home?
No, she ain't.
How about mr. Clanton?
He's busy.
Oh, fine.
Then I'll wait.
Hold it, mister.
You just state your business
And I'll see if the boss
Wants to be bothered.
Is this some kind
Of a practical joke?
My name is ware.
Tell mr. Clanton
And his daughter
That I'm here
To see them.
I'm clanton.
Oh, mr. Clanton.
I wasn't expecting to have
r*fles pointed at me.
How do you do, sir?
My name is ware.
Oh, yes, emma
Told me about you.
Shyster from new orleans,
Ain't you?
I don't quite understand, sir.
Well, where is miss emma?
She and I are engaged.
Not anymore, you ain't.
I called it off.
You get.
Uh, I'm marshal earp,
Sir.
Things here are, uh,
A mite complicated
Right now.
I'll take mr. Ware
Back to tombstone.
Well, we ain't finished
Our business.
Later, mr. Clanton.
I'm sure that miss emma
Will have a few things that
She might wanna explain to
Mr. Ware.
Oh oh, yes. Well--
Uh, well, you settle
Things with em.
But I don't wanna
See him no more.
Uh, dr. Holliday
Is meeting us on
The trail.
I'm sure that
He and I can explain
Part of this to you.
I certainly hope so,
Marshal.
It's bad manners to
Point g*ns at visitors, friend.
- Why, you--
- Hold it.
Let's have
No trouble.
Get in the wagon,
Mr. Ware.
Very well.
You better get miss emma
And mr. Ware started for
New orleans.
- If she'll go.
- Why wouldn't she?
Mr. Ware promised
To tell her the truth
About the way
Old man clanton acted.
She doesn't want tom;
She wants you.
Come on, doc.
If I know women,
She's probably announced
Your engagement already.
Try jilting emma clanton.
You're hooked, wyatt.
That's nonsense.
She knows I'm not
In love with her.
Look, you got
This whole thing wrong.
She's in love with tom.
There's not gonna be
Any sh**ting about it
Either.
Will you stop playing
With that g*n
And go take yourself
A nap?
When a man's tuckered,
He--
Well, he thinks silly.
Morituri te salutamus
Caesarum.
- We who are about to die--
- Will you stop it!
Die or marry,
It's not much
Of a choice, wyatt.
But I'll stand up
With you at the altar
Or against
The clanton g*ns.
I had to be honest, tom.
I'm just not sure
I love you.
Is it wyatt earp?
Well, I'm not even sure
About that now.
You must think
I'm an awful fool.
No.
I think you're in love
With marshal earp.
He's everything I'm not.
He can hold his own
With your father
And his gunslingers.
Oh, no no.
It's-- it's not that.
Let me talk to wyatt.
I'm so mixed up.
I don't even know
What papa said to him.
And wyatt has always
Treated me like just
A sister.
Give me a little time?
Time?
Whatever you decide,
I'll always love you.
( Door closes )
What she say?
No luck.
She wants you.
That's just a notion.
She's been using me
To try and persuade
Her father
That he should retire.
That doesn't sound
Like emma.
Look, mr. Ware,
She's desperate.
She's not thinking
Clearly.
Well, I don't know.
Oh, she said she'd
Talk to you.
- When?
- Right away, I gathered.
Look, are you willing
To help me with
A little play acting?
- How do you mean?
- Let's go out the side door.
I'll tell you.
Hold on now, earp!
I want this settled
Before you talk to emma.
Wyatt:
There's nothing to settle.
I think there's
A lot to settle.
You don't love emma.
You just want the old man
To give you a big spread.
Well, what's wrong with that?
He offered me
, Head of cattle
And , acres!
Tom:
And you went for it?
You're so lowdown,
You'd marry emma
For that?
Wyatt:
Why, sure.
If she's fool enough
To let clanton
Buy her a husband.
It might as well
Be me.
- You filthy--
- Ah!
Tom! Tom!
Tom, stop it!
Wyatt!
Tom! Tom!
Wyatt!
( Groans )
Come on, get up.
No, that's enough.
You gave him just
What he deserved.
He had a lot
Of temptation, emma.
That's no excuse.
Will you take me back
To the hotel, please?
I'd like to get
Out of this town.
Of course, dear.
( Knocking on door )
Doc, it's wyatt.
All right.
( Sighs )
All right.
When's the wedding?
No wedding.
Not to me.
Decided to take
Mr. Ware.
Miraculous escape.
How did you manage it?
Never mind.
Here, put these on.
If I know clanton,
He's gonna send somebody
To g*n ware.
I may need some help
To get him out of town.
- Now get your hat and coat.
- Gladly.
You know, I thought you'd
Either be dead or married.
There they are.
( Indistinct yelling )
Quick, come on!
Let him go.
The two of you
Get in the hotel
And stay there.
Mr. Clanton will be
Coming to see me.
You two stay out
Of it.
I'll send word when
It's safe to leave town.
- Very well.
- Go on.
All right,
You've seen men bleed before.
Get them over
To dr. Goodfellow.
Doc?
Earp?!
I wanna talk to you.
Evening, mr. Clanton.
Don't you "evening" me.
Some boys I sent
To scare that no-good lawyer,
And you sh*t 'em up.
Another thing,
Where's emma?
Let's talk inside.
Of all the twisted, shifty,
Double-crossing john laws,
You're the worst.
You never had any
Intention of marrying emma.
Well, did you have
Any intention of
Breaking up
Your outfit of
Cattle thieves
And murderers?
- That's not the point!
- Well, what is?
You was in cahoots
With that city lawyer.
You still are.
Well, let me tell
You something, earp.
My boys have got
Every trail blocked.
They have?
Now that's
Right interesting.
You're under arrest,
Mr. Clanton.
All right, sonny.
Send for my lawyers.
- Not tonight.
- What do you mean?
I'm holding you
Incommunicado for a while.
On what charge?
Threatening the life
Of your future son-in-law,
Mr. Tom ware.
Well, emma ain't marrying
Him, by heaven!
I've got a father's right
To protect a child from
Making a mistake!
And as for you,
Mr. Earp...
I'm gonna whip you
With my bare hands.
Now look, mr. Clanton,
I don't wanna have to
Wrassle with you.
Wrassle?! I'm gonna
Knock your ears off!
( Groaning )
Why, you no good--
Stop it!
You useless excuse
For a marshal!
One of these days I'm gonna
Get a hold of you!
( Clanton shouts
Indistinctly )
Here you are, emma.
Thanks.
( Knocks on door )
Who is it?
Wyatt.
Come in.
Miss emma.
Mr. Clanton has men
Guarding the trails.
I arrested him.
His rig is out
In the alley.
These are his.
Put 'em on.
Emma, you still
Determined to run for it?
Yes, tonight.
Very well.
My idea is that
You head for the ranch.
You drive.
Tom, you act like
You're drunk or asleep.
I think anybody watching
The trail will think
That you're taking
Your papa home.
It might work.
If it does,
You swing off the trail
And shortcut
To the benson stage.
All right.
I think it's the only way
To avoid more sh**ting, emma.
I said all right, tom.
Has the marshal
Any other suggestions?
Just one.
I think you should write
Your father a letter.
Tell him that you'll love
And forgive.
In his way,
He loves you very much.
I've written.
Would you mind
Giving this to papa?
Not at all.
I wish you luck.
Thank you.
I'll be following you
With a posse
Till you get to
The benson depot.
Well, thank you, sir.
- Well, hi, doc.
- Hi.
I assume they got away.
Yep, safe on the train
To new orleans.
Let the old man out.
Where's that earp?
He ain't heard the last
Of jailing me!
Your g*ns are right there,
Mr. Clanton.
Your hat
And your coat.
Here's a letter
From miss emma.
Reckon I know
What it says.
I don't think you do.
You better read it.
"Dear, papa...
I want you to know
That we forgive you
And still love you.
We hope we got
Your blessing.
Tell wyatt
No hard feelings."
After all I done,
My little girl
Still loves me.
Em says to tell you
"No hard feelings."
But that don't go
For me, earp!
You're nothing but
A jib-headed judas!
( Door slams )
Now tell me, wyatt.
How did you ever slick
Out of marrying emma?
I didn't.
She loves another man.
Always bet on love, doc.
