02x01 - Around the Horn

[bunniefuu]

Right, Mr.

Rooster. The best I've seen since April.

You know, your San Francisco
folks are real friendly.

Now I know why everybody wants to come
to California and say Mr.

Rooster.

Yeah, I told Bill about you,
and she's real anxious to meet you

in a private parlor.

He owns this place and friend.

Wait till you see Realtor

as well as Mr.

Watson.

Good evening, Mr. Wester.

Mighty
Pleased to meet you, ma'am. Pleasure.

So you are the famous and brave man
who brought that big.

Wagon train
through all the way from Saint.

Joe to Sacramento.

Well,
I didn't exactly do it all by myself.

I had a little help.

My own special stock

reserved for special people like you.

It's an honor, ma'am.

As real drinking liquor.

Understand?

You and some friends are planning
to sail around the horn.

Yes, sir.

Major South Adams, Bill Hawksley.

You see, we've never.

We've never been on it.

Real, for sure.

Sailboat before.

You will be ready.

Bon voyage.

And you know.

Major, if Charlie didn't get into a fight

and end up in jail, he's bound to be here.

Who'd want to leave anything like this?

Well, pretty face it. It.

Hey. Evening, Governor.

I'd like to take a close
up to the producer.

Yeah, sure. Hold it. Bill it.

We came here looking for a friend of ours.
Supposed to meet us here.

Who's short
follow with whiskers named Rooster.

You seen him? Sure.

Say, I'll bet you will make it up
off the wagon train, Master.

Yeah. Said Adam, this is Bill Hawk.

All right. I did him, sir.

Well, I think he's still up with my spell
spinning yarns about the wagon train.

He took quite a shine to him.

Come on, I'll show you to our parlor.

Come on.

You're a married man, remember?

I'm looking to get out

my spell.

These are Mr. Watson as partner.

Oh, I'm honored to be your man.

Your partner's done
nothing but brag about you, too.

Oh, I'm sure you didn't
forget about yourself.

Oh, I'm Seth Adams, and this is Bill.

How do I do? Hello.

Let me buy you a drink.

Oh, thank. You.

I seldom get a chance to meet the kind
of men that bring the wagon train through.

Oh, that's very nice of you to say, ma'am,
but we're through with wagon trains.

Yes, I know. Mr. Wooster told me.

Oh, by the way, where is Joe?

Oh, he decided to try my throw game.

He said he felt lucky tonight.

Oh. That your health, madam?

Cheers.

I understand
you're all planning a sea voyage.

Around the horn to Boston. Yes, ma'am.

We got first class passage
on a clipper ship, Jessica.

And we sailed after tomorrow.

Why you quitting the wagon
train business, Major?

Well,
it isn't so much as that, ma'am, but,

you know,
we've never been on a sailing boat before.

We never seen Boston.

And really, it's.

It's just about tired, bone tired of
sitting in the saddle 16, 18 hours a day.

All those days
just sitting up there on that boat.

I can hardly wait. Well,
you don't have to wait.

Have a nice voyage.

Hey. Hey.

This train.

Deliver them to the sea.

Which before dawn.

All three of them?

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wake up. Call.

Hey, Charlie. Charlie, is that you?

Oh, we got some serious men.

Hey, what are we doing in a Buffalo
Hunters camp?

Preventing any Buffalo campus
Smell this bad?

Where are we, anyway?

I don't know, but You all right, Charlie?

I'm all here. Room major.

Look, we're on a boat right?

That's it, Jessica.

When we get on here, what are we doing
down here with these stinking hides?

We pay for first class cabins.

Hey, I can't rob my pants.

How? They get them off with these boots?

Here's the clothes

we're going to get along with.

We'll find out what's going on here.

Major. You know what I think?

Remember that pretty gal bellows
to fellers like dry goats?

We've been what they call shanghaied
silly bill.

Only sailors get shanghaied.

This outfit better have a gal.

Darn good explanation for this.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Hey, guys.

I had

your hands wobbly.

Make any trouble? I busted open.

I was just topside.

Captain Cod wants to have a look at you.

Lovers. Oh, listen.

I'm first, mate,
and you address me as mister.

First give.

Give an order. A jeep.

Wait topside. You shot ahead.

I'm a double.

But water, as far as you can see.

How far we can land.

Mr. Ferris, Only one mile whiskeys

straight down.

Want land?

And left.

All right, all right.

I'm all.

Navy captain, not a sailor.

Man amongst.

There's a couple of things
I'd like to find out about.

Who gave you permission to speak?

I don't usually. Ask permission.

When I wish you
or any other deckhand to speak.

I will let you know.

Until then, you will keep your mouth shut.

Now, what did you wish to say?

Speak up, man.

Well, there's been some kind of a mix up.

We bought and paid for our passage
around the horn to Boston.

First class party on the Jessica.

This is not the Jessica.

It is the sea.

Which there are is around the horn.

I am bound for New Orleans, not Boston.

You are not passengers. You are deckhands.

And you will leave my ship
in approximately 100 days,

give or take a week or two.

Be reasonable, man Captain Cobb,

we spent practically
all our lives in the saddle.

There isn't anything
we don't know about horses or cattle.

We know how to round them up
out of random.

There isn't a trick that the Indians know
that we don't know about.

We brought so many of them,
I couldn't begin to count them.

But we.

We're not sailors.

You will be right until it is.

Comfort yourself.

When you put your hand
in this many goodbye Indians in my heart,

in everything.

Come and solve these problems.

I don't know how.

Anybody can eat that. Sweet.

How does he do it?

I guess if you get hungry
and I believe anything.

That's the second help.

And that's my lady starting out.

I've always got an appetite for anything.

I have to go to jail.

Well, Major, try out so bad,
but you get the heart to it.

Just take a poor one, my brother
right now, all the way back to say, Joe,

why do you think? Easy, hard,
dark and dirty.

Maybe a little scrawny rabbit,
if he's lucky enough to get one.

I take it.

McCullough Somewhere around Wyoming.

Oh, he's not that far back here.

He's in hostile
Indian territory, that's for sure.

Wagon train. Stop

now. Oh, blood brother.

No more w*r between us.

Thank you, children.

Now, where do we go for the love?

I've never seen such a wonderful feast

with such beautiful winters.

Thank you.

Tell them all about.

Major. Adams.

Just like I said. Well, he was lucky
enough to get a little rabbit.

He couldn't cook it, smoke again.

Went out to ride a shabby stout.

So bad off as we are,
we're better off than McCullough, I think.

Anyway, they're sailing around the horn
and they're traveling first class

and they're having a wonderful time.

They're eating like kings

of the islands and then.

Have to feel this way before
he's allowed to die.

You live boys.

You work

with the cook on that wagon train
you're always bragging about.

Yes, I was a cook.

Go to the galley
or ship's cook from now on.

And don't make any of
that fat, greasy swell. My,

why aren't you eating a separate pack?

I don't want any more, Daddy.

She has any favorite ways of eating.

It's possible that she isn't hungry.

Nonsense. What's the matter?

Well, why can't we have buffalo meat
once in a while?

Buffalo meat?

What's this about? Buffalo meat?

Did you ever tasted?

No, but I'd sure like to.

It's awful.

What did you hear about it?

I heard one of those wagon train men
talking about it.

Oh, he told you about it? No, not me.

He was telling a sailor.

I just heard him. One? Yes.

A c*ptive buffalo meat is terrible,
Isn't that correct?

You say so. It is Captain.

Cook down to spit with onions
and baited with whiskey.

Very good, that's all.

Well, take away her plate.

I don't want to hear any more about it.

Doesn't she have schoolwork to do?

She has.

Then go do it.

But I bet you never even tasted it.

How's my daughter's education
coming along?

In some things, fine.

And in another, more important thing,
not so fine.

Such as wanting

to act like a girl
behaving like a young lady.

We've been all through this before.

Matthew Kopp.

You simply can't raise
your daughter on board ship.

Nobody can.

This whole past year, I've tried to.

I don't want to hear any more about it.

Miss Minnie,
you are employed to teach my daughter.

In the future, you will see her education
and I will turn to the other matters.

And as models to emulate,
she'll have nothing but crude seamen

where the clothing of a boy. It's
not fair.

I will hear no more of this.

Excuse me.

Ma'am.

Hi there, Sonny. Hi.

Except I'm not a boy.

Well, you sure fooled me.

I've seen you before.

How come you're on board?
I'm Patricia Card.

Prefer to be called Pat, my daddy
to Captain.

Captain Cobb's your? Yes.

My daddy. Like I told you.

Could I please talk to you?

Sure.

We're here.

Talk away.

Were you really a wagon master?

Yes, Mama. What?

Did you really fight?

Indians.

Well, sometimes.

Sometimes I skedaddle
just to save my scalp, too.

To How wonderful.

May I sit on your lap?

Well, sure.

What is a wagon train, exactly?

Does it have an engine with a whistle?

No. Running it.

It doesn't have an engine and a whistle.

Wagon train is sort of like a. Town.

With 100
or more houses up there on wheels.

And in each house,

a family with boys and girls like you.

They're moving.

You're going west.

I sure would like to ride a horse.

Well, you can learn, honey.

Patricia,

what are you doing
out of your cabin? Night.

This is Major Step Adams.

He's been telling me all about wagon
trains and Indians and.

Oh, this is Miss Mini Jellison.

She's my teacher. How do you, ma'am?

Excuse me if I seem surprised.

Just because I am.

I didn't know we had a lady on board.

And I suppose you didn't know that
Patricia is not permitted

to fraternize with that.

Can I ask, can we talk to Captain Cobb?

Does not allow her to associate
with any sailors.

Sailor.
Consider them a very bad influence.

Rightfully so, I might add.

It seems to me
the captain might be a little mixed up.

Ma'am.

Look at her nice little thing like that
dress like a boy.

I didn't even know she was a girl.
So she told me.

If you ask me, any father lets his own
daughter be raised on a boat like this,

I better give some thought
as to who's the real bad influence

before he starts blaming other people.

That would be all

paid back to her, Captain.

But Daddy not made you, Adams.

I ask him to talk to me.

You hear me?

Take her to her cabin competition.

If I ever see

or even hear you associating
with my daughter again, I'll slap you.

And I'll keep you in the brig
until you write.

I should know.

And another thing.

You will stop talking
to my crew about buffalo meat

Buffalo me.

Get to the folks. Yes.

Oh. Look, I'm sorry.

Oh, Sergeant,

I know I'd like to catch that guy.

Real well

for me when it comes to gas.

Oh, man. Give me my.

Hands. What are you doing?

So much noise and scrapings.

Very hoist up.

On the dock

beneath the tops of

top k*ll.

I know.

Do you say Major

has Mr.

Size got out?

Get back up there

and move it back.

Patricia.

Patricia, there.

He got you safe and sound.

Now, how does she get out of here,
Captain?

I'm referring charges. Against this man.

He left his post.

It is a very direct order. I'm not sure.

I'm sure.

Disobeying orders for Mr.

Harris. Captain.
There wasn't time to strike him.

Yes, sir. Just as hard as I could
take him to the brig. And

you can put him in irons.

He said Patricia's life.

He admitted leaving his post.

He just made an order.

He also struck up a mutiny.

And carried on the back.

He had. He saved her.

Take her to her captain.

Excuse

me, J.

You like what it means to her?

To first me to the ship.

Get over there,

Chaparral. Yes.

Well, I'll be Fleet McCullough.

Oh, what a treat to see it. How?

I really cried. Yes. Great.
Thank you. Is the major with you?

No, not this trip.

He said you remember Bill Hawkes and Joe.

I would never forget him.

Well, Major Bill and Charlie are on
a clipper ship going around the horn. No.

Yeah. So they've given up.

Wagon trains are going to settle down
in Boston and do what?

Even they don't.

But I guess they're having a pretty good
time.

The dog.

Hey, would you stop
and have supper with me?

I've been counting on that
since I saw the sign outside. Good enough.

Now let's

make that three suppers instead of two

cafés.

Just make yourself comfortable.

I sure will. Goodness.

This is a nice place you got here.

It's kind of unusual
for a sheriff's office, but he.

He could go somewhere else.

I don't use it. Oh,

I used to be a prizefighter, remember?

Sure.

I get these things if I need them or not.

Well, I haven't had to use it much.

Everybody around here knows me, and.

Well, it's become a right peaceful town.

None for you, Willie.

I ain't had a drop in over a year now.

Flint is better.

Thanks.

Oh, Alice.

Here, let me help you.

I want you to meet an old friend of mine,
Flint McCullough.

He was the scout in the wagon train
and brought me out here.

I done

Willie.

What time does he get off work?

He un unchanged a bit

and looks pretty good, but
he won't be to that one prisoner I got.

He complains about everything.

Excuse me, Flint.

Oh, Would you like to take a look
at the cellblock?

Kind of special. Why not?

They have

the fanciest jail I ever saw.

Yeah, it's a throwback to the Dark Ages.

That's what it is. A dungeon.

I'm going to sloppy fridge.

Me? You don't know when you.

Well, a friend.

Really? Really.

Those are nicer quarters
in front of most hotels.

Well, I've been trying to theory
that there's no sense in

treating a man like an animal
just because he broke a law.

Even the worst of it might get better
if they had a decent bed to sleep in.

Well, come on, let's have a supper here.

And you tell me all about the major.

I'll bet he's having a great time, huh?

How you feel, Me?

Just come. I.

I try to sleep without a real meal.

At first I used to try to.

Hi, Johnny.

Hi, Neal.

Hey. I heard this morning
that that land we see is Chile on one side

and Tierra del Fuego on the other.

We're in what they call
the Straits of Magellan.

Supposed to be in them.

But five days we're going this way
instead of around the horn.

Well, Swenson tells me that hardly

any of these ships
sail around Cape Horn anymore.

I don't say that's good.

He's a little more salt.

Or what is it with that?

And so what? I'm good at it.

I'm pulling out the captain's socks.

Proves how bad his food used to be.

My laundry water tastes good. Yeah.

You know, Charlie.

Yeah, he really is.

You get off on the ship land that close?

Yeah,
but we can't go leaving Major in the brig.

Yeah, I got a Japanese.

Better
not get any ideas about hanging a major.

He going to have to hang out for.

You are aware of the seriousness
of the charges against you?

I am.

Your actions are subject
to the most severe penalty I can impose.

Though
I in no way approve of what you did.

I find that there are mitigating
circumstances.

That's why the charges against
you are dismissed.

You heard me. Mr.

Ferry's release.

The prisoner.

Swap disobeyed. An order.

He knocked me flat.

You're letting him off as if
nothing had happened.

Mr. Ferris,
I am the judge and jury aboard this ship.

My decisions are the law here.

I going

to make a fool out of me
he wish he'd hold for.

I'm finished with him.

Come on, Mr.

Ferris.

Women, no matter what their age,
nothing but trouble.

And the ones that got them off.

Don't you put on

the board, everybody you have.

Come on.

You are a superstitious fool.

Superstitious I liked

I speak, Mr. Ferris.

I will all end in Davy Jones locker.

Who thinks

the master of a ship
must make decisions based upon facts.

In the turmoil of the storm, I acted upon
the facts as initially presented to me.

Without discipline, a man couldn't
even keep a river barge afloat.

However, I do try to rectify any errors
that I have made

when I'm convinced that I've been wrong.

I appreciate that, Captain.

It must be

some sort of discipline,
even in a wagon train.

Well, there is, I assure you.

These.

These wagon trains.

Adams, Where do the people come from?

Why do so many of them
even want to go out west?

Well, Captain, they come from all over.

As to their reasons,
I guess there's as many reasons as

there are people here, mostly family folks
that are trying to find a new life.

They're trying to find a

better way of living for their kids
than they had for themselves.

I know how you feel.

You agree with Miss Minnie.

You think that this ship is an unfit place
to raise my daughter.

You don't deny that, do you?

No, sir, I don't.

Well, you're. Wrong, both of you.

Pat has everything she could wish for.

A love, affection, care,
everything she got.

Show her own age to play with,
to grow up with.

I don't consider that essential.

Because she got a place
to put a roof stone,

a place
to belong to and friends to share it with.

Seems to me,
Captain, that nobody can grow up or feel

very secure, very permanent, with a floor
rolling under them all the time.

You've been aboard.

Long enough to know that it's a deck,
not a floor.

Your daughter may not think
much about this now, Captain.

She may be a little unhappy
with you later.

She may even grow to hate you

for trying to make her
be the son that you always

wanted.

Here.

We've got a nerve
saying a thing like that to me.

Vocabularies the truth as I see it.

And there's another thing.

This many. What about it?

Tell me,
how come you didn't hire an older woman?

Less attractive for past teacher.

What are you getting at?

What just seems to me,
Captain, that having a young and beautiful

woman on board.

Well, it's not very good
for the morale of your crew, is it?

For their morale or yours?

Adams,

I apologize for unjustly punishing you.

And I consider that our account.
The square.

I advise you to keep them that way.

I'll go back to your station. Yes.

Thanks for the coffee, Captain.

I replaced the worn.

Reef lines
and the men to gallant. Like you said, Mr.

Ferris guitar.

The shrouds

are getting smart.

I want you to ride with you
if I get some sleep. Now.

You've only been on duty 18 hours.

You can crawl on your hammock
after you pass the blame.

And the man must fight for our yes.

Are you doing Major Adams?

Evening, miss.

I am polishing Blanton's.

I never heard of such a thing.

On a major, so.

I'm not surprised.

I'm not surprised if anything that
happens on board this ship.

So anything I can do, miss?

No, thank you.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's just that I'm so angry at Matt

that I could

know it's all my fault

that Patricia no longer likes the ship.

And yours, of course,
for exciting her interest in the West.

Tell me, why does he insist
on raising the child on this ship?

Patricia's mother died

when she was giving birth to her.

Matt was away at sea when it happened,

and I expect he felt so guilty about it
that he made a vow

he'd never be absent
from his daughter again.

Never leave her alone.

And so, since he lives at sea,
so does she.

Oh, that there are times when.

When Matt is so sweet

and so gentle
that I could faint from the joy of it.

Then there are times like tonight when.

When he's as temperamental
and unpredictable as the weather.

I guess you've

been in love with him
a long time, haven't you?

Ever since the first time when he.

I'm not in love with Captain Cobb.

I'm simply an employee

who happens to be very devoted
to her job of teaching his daughter

the three R's.

Does it really show that plainly?

I mean, my loving mother.

Well, I miss Minnie.

A woman as beautiful as you

certainly wouldn't choose
to live on a cargo ship like this.

Not for a salary.

I guess not.

Oh. If I only knew how to cope with it.

What to do?

You know, sometimes

a man doesn't realize what he has
until he's lost.

Suppose, Mussolini,
that you got off the ship in New Orleans.

Leave.

Well, who would look after Patricia?

Well, it's captain's responsibility.

It's his daughter.

Point is, if Captain can't let you leave,
you'd be better off without him.

That is, unless you like to suffer.

Some women do. Well, I certainly don't.

But leave Patton

and never see Mack again.

And I miss Minnie.

I can.

Still.

Cry. I've been thinking about
what you said about the woman.

Know the angel of death. For all of us.

She's had to leave.

Would really make ships right now
alone the way she

the quarter deck is at the helm.

There's nobody that she really think
she's a jinx.

People fall overboard lots of times.

Get lost at sea.

I, I bet they do.

I could save the ship. My, my.

To thank me for it.

Nobody.

You know, you ever do this

play topside?

Are you happy with the job
you did on the bringing pants?

You're just taking to have me
come to the end of my rope?

Man, she was the first most powerful guy
I ever had.

Do something.

I was something with no mitigating
circumstances.

No, thanks, Mr. Ferris. No, thanks.

Bye. Topside. I'm.

What's that?

Miss may

end up in Cobb.

She's out cold. Mr. Fresh.

I was just coming up. From the function.

I heard a scream,
and I heard somebody run.

Off over there.

What happened, Troy?

We found Adams kneeling.

Well, wait a minute.

I got it. I didn't get it.

I was the.

Did you see Adams was Miss Binney?

Yes, sir. With a good. Deal.

Patricia in the brig.

You will be.

In a break long this time. Major Adams.

By sunset tomorrow,
you'll be hanging by their neck.

I assured him of this. Yet

you hope.

You think.

You feel that in a.

Fine. You know that

it may not be very ladylike to say so, but

it was worth being bruised,

if only to find out that
capable of worrying about me.

Well, of course I was worried.

A thing like this.

Can you tell me exactly what happened?

Well, I'm not sure.

I was standing at the rail

thinking about something
that Major Adams had said to me.

Oh, then he was with you earlier?

Well, yes.

I met him on deck after I left my cabin.

He spoke for a moment and then he said
goodnight and went forward.

For what?

Oh, nothing.

It just confirms something that said.
Go on.

Well, suddenly, from behind,
somebody grabbed me at my throat.

All right.

He wasn't trying to molest me, Matt.

He was trying to throw me overboard.

It's true.

He was trying all the time to lift me over
the rail.

You didn't see who it was?

No. Well,
you will tomorrow when I hang him.

Oh, I don't know how.

I could
have been so wrong about that, man.

You know who it was

Many.

It was major, said

Ferris.

And another man caught him.

Red hand and then Pat, throw the whole
thing from the window in her cabin.

But Major Adams,

I don't believe it.

Evidence of eyewitnesses is difficult
not to believe.

Mr. Adams was absolutely circle
when I spoke to him.

And it was only a few minutes
after he left that this happened.

No meant

no, it couldn't have been him.

The man who tried to strangle me,
he was drunk.

He was so drunk that I almost gag
from the smell of rum on his breath.

And also, if it had been me to Adams, why,
I wouldn't be here right now.

But he could live to like me
over the way without even trying.

Oh, no.

I made you Adams. Anything I was made of.
But not wrong.

The rum?

No. Said I was a major.

He gives me his rights almost every day.

He telling me the truth.

I was back a my cabin.

You're a pretty good cook, Betty.

I can like to cook up a hotel for you
sometimes

I haven't seen you. May. Just might.

Next time I see him when I ask him
about this, he's in the brig again.

Oh, no, not again.

I had him come as many to get off the ship

New Orleans
and leave you and mean everything.

Daddy, He wants to marry you.

What did she say to that?

Well, I couldn't hear very well.

But you won't let her do it, will you?

I hadn't thought too much about it, Paddy

Patterson,

I want you to try to remember real hard.

Was this talk
you heard before Minnie got hurt? Mm.

What did you do then?

Well, after Major Adams told her
good night,

I went back to my bank,
but I couldn't sleep very well

because I was too worried about her
leaving us.

Did you see him come back? Mm.

You saw him sneak up behind Miss Many
and try to throw overboard to do that.

That's what I'm trying to find out.

I just heard some noise
and went to the window to look at.

That's what I said.

So, Major Adams. Mm.

He was kneeling over Miss Minnie.

She was lying with her face
right on the deck.

And then he rolled over.

Oh, Daddy, I just dive.

Miss Minnie went away. I just love her. So

may. I write that. Up?

Probably herself together.

I'd have never made

that up

to keep your wits about you.

Everything will be all right.

I'm all for doing that. Quiet here.

For all I know,
when you're trying to run your file,

the penalties just make you

keep your mouth shut
and nothing's going to happen.

Oh, I couldn't listen to you.

You put it up to me.

Oh, I never tried it
without. You're making me up.

You seized

that man,

k*lled.

Go to my cabin, get the cattle man's house

stripped of his shirt
and spread eagle into the main mast.

You have lost me till there's

no strength left in my arm
to lift the whip.

Put them up.

You get that, man? Just

get my r*fle and

release Adams from the brig.

Oh, Ashley's New Orleans.

And she pretty.

Yeah. We can still look a long ways off.

We could make port. Before the docks.

The captain's going to take her out here,
and we'll sailing at dawn.

Oh, Captain. Nice to see you. Huh?

What have you done now, Major?

I'm going to. God damn. You sure?

Of course I'm sure.

You land.

Come on.

You were sent for Mr..

I suppose you're anxious
to leave my ship in the morning.

Yes, sir, I am.

I won't try to prevent it.

Providing you disembarking alone.

I'm alone.

But that's exactly what I said.

Alone.

I will not let you go off arm in arm
with many and break my daughter's heart.

You mean

you're not going to let loose
many off the ship?

That's precisely what I mean.

I have the authority
to restrict her to the ship just as I can.

Any of the crew

that wasn't involved in this,

I'd say good riddance to both of you. But

how can a woman
who is essentially bright as she is

even think of marrying you?

Colonel,
how did you happen to find out about this?

My daughter, at least, is loyal to me.

She told me You may not know it,
but she was listening in the right.

You were talking to many.

Proposing to her
the night she was attacked.

Oh, she must be out of her mind.

A cowboy like you,

Captain.

I don't know whether you know it
or not or whether you agree,

but I happen to be

as well-respected on the land
as you are on sea.

And as far as this man is concerned,
any man would be an awful fool

not to realize what a wonderful wife
she'd make.

It is not necessary for you
to describe her virtues to me.

I'm well aware of them.

Well, surely.

Sure, you can understand
how I might happen to ask you.

To marry me out here to this Adams
and remember it.

Don't try to get off this ship with her.

She is not leaving. Even if I have to.

If I have to lock her in the brig.

Let it be all, Captain.

That will be all right.

Thank you, sir.

Smitty,

I got a hunch that Captain Cobb is going
to want to see you and about to shake.

Do yourself a favor with you.

No matter what he says or does,
just remember to act like you know

exactly what he's talking about.

I think all your troubles would be solved.

When you step into

my cabin for a moment, please.

Yes, Captain.

Sit down, Minnie.

Thank you.

What I wanted to say was that

you know what I mean.

How could you do this to me?

Do what?

Oh, don't be cruel with me.
It doesn't become you.

You know very well what I mean.

Mary Seth Adams.

What kind of a life do you expect to have
with a man like that.

With Mr. Adams?

Well, I have good life, I expect.

I hear. Um.

How long have you known about
us, Seth and me?

Long enough to be nearly crazy with it.

I want to propose to you myself.

What I.

Well, I thought I was too old for you,
but if he.

Well, he's old enough to be your father,
your grandfather, Me?

I will not allow you to marry that man.

Are you proposing to me now?

Oh, yes.

Yes, I am. I,

for Pete's sake, you need.

You will come to me.

Any famous Matthew?

No, wait a minute, Minnie.

I didn't mean it the way it sounded.

I meant for my sake.

Too many.

I love you.

And I want you to be my wife and.

And live and put

trying to ease Patricia here.

Everything just like it's been.

Except

for marriage.

No, thanks, Matt.

All right.

And then we'll get a house ashore.

It'll be a snug harbor
for me to come home to. Oh.

Oh. So Patricia
and I can be lonely together

and live in fear
that each voyage is going to be your last.

No matter.

You expect me to give up the sea.

I want you

safe home from the sea.

I will not be dictated to.

I refuse to be victimized
by you and Pat or Adams

or anyone else.

Adams? Yes.

How are you? Hear this?

I am not putting inter-party New Orleans.

I'm setting an three course

and I'm staying on it
until that woman has regained your senses.

Prepare rancor, break out of yourselves.

Junk.

Looks like now in never major.

You're going to have to swim for it.

Hey, that's a pretty long swim from here.

We can make it
all right if we take it easy.

Just dog paddle, dog.

What's that?

Charlie? Don't you know how to swim?

I don't know.

I think I can.

And I'm like,
I'll just do what you fellows do.

How we can.

Probably 40 men or something.

Give me a line.

You come down this
line. Come on, Bill. What?

We made up

there was not a lower boat, Captain.

Certainly not. Good riddance.

Get back to your station.

Calm down, Harvey.

Wake up to
how long we're going to hang around.

We've supposed to stop.



Lady, I. Told you I called earlier.

We can't leave until the wagon
master gets here.

So why don't you just run right

back on

Major Adams, you old army
mule, You're a sight for sore eyes.

I'm glad to see you.

How are you, Bill? Charlie,
how was the trip?

Here's the race course.

You know,

if I hadn't been flat broke, I have never
signed on for another trip with you.

You think there's another wagon master
in this part of the country

that would give you a job
scouting for him?

Well, I thought you were fed up with this
thankless job.

I thought you were going to settle down
in Boston.

Seems to me
like you've been doing a lot of thinking.

And as usual, you're wrong.

Is this the guy we were waiting for?

And if so,
why is he wasting time gossiping?

Oh, all hands on deck.

Now, hear this.

I'm the skipper of this outfit.

That means I'm the wagon master. I you.

I want to travel with this train.

You're going to do what I tell you to do.

When I tell you to do it,
you're going to do complaints.

Just keep them to yourself.

Now, Lay here is very summing up,

Mr. MacGyver.

On this voyage, I want you to keep.

A sharp eye out for.

Land from forest.

Land that is for a particular
friend of mine.

I was captain, a sea captain.

That is Matthew Cobb.

And his bride and their little daughter.

They're newlyweds.

The newlyweds.

Are. Out to secure the stragglers
where they lay,

where left, left, turn to the back
and pick up the stragglers.

You're landlubber, Johnny.

Let's lay forward in the galley. Isaac.

Daddy, where you giving me orders?

I k*lled the captain anymore.

Well, you see Paris, like this week.

We're not. I mean, this.

I mean,

these noises ever.

When are you going to start the time?

Like a wagon master again?

Oh, about halfway through the cruise,
I reckon. I.

Oh, wagon

Europe.

A little over a month there in Paris.

All aboard High
and the weather to the road.

We stay together
side by side for the wagons.

The wagons.

Passenger in the winter

wonderland said We're going to sit down.

All aboard.

And the weather And through the road
we stay together.

By my son. And.
