02x20 - The Old Man Charvanaugh Story

[bunniefuu]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You all right, son? I can handle them.

Easy, boy.

Danny boy.

Whoa,

whoa, Oh, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Thank you, Major.

I don't know what we would have done
if you hadn't come along.

Oh, that's all right.

I could have handled them
if she hadn't made all that.

No serious

heat up there.

There.

Oh. Rain.

Oh, Dwayne, go help your sister. Yes.

Oh, you'll have to forgive us, my dear.

I guess we're all a little excited.

And you've got every right in the world
to be, after all.

A couple more days
and you'll be all settled in a new home.

Yeah.

And the children will be back
with their father again.

How? It's going to be so wonderful.

Claude wrote to us all about the ranch.

You know, he's got the house
already built the corral up and

listen to me.

If you had all day to stand here,
let me rattle on.

You sound like a spring bride on me.

Go on now, Major.

I've been married more years
than I care to remember.

Besides, you don't see any spring brides
running around with two that size.

Well,
I just want to say goodbye to you, Mr.

Randall.

See that you get down to Brandon
and where you're going and

I just want to wish you
all the luck in the world.

You've got to find youngsters.

They're very happy
to have you on the train.

Well, thank you, sir.

That's just about the nicest thing
anyone ever said to me.

Well, goodbye.

God bless you. Major.

And you get back to us.

You just get this lady to where
she's going.

Well,
none of us has. You know that, right?

Well, we
better get the rest of your gear pregnant.

Very funny.

I've been looking forward
to leaving this train

ever since the day we first joined it.

But now that the times there.

That must kind of grow, then

I'll take care of the team effect of.

The morning.

You talk to.

Give me a cup of water.

You want to get me a cup of water

here.

Oh, that'll

have.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh,

oh, Oh, boy.

Oh, oh, oh.

I just need a wagon train.

Came down about about a mile.

Well, it's good
you usually show your poor where

that is, and maybe I can get down there
and sell them.

So my ox.

Yeah, he's to
Scott. And like you told him,

I learned six in a bull out.

Yeah. I hate to see him go.

And this is not a fine woman bringing them
kids all the way out here by herself.

You know, a woman can do that.

Can face up to almost anything.

I'm not so sure of that.

Why not?

She never tasted any.

Your coffee?

What the devil is that?

Oh. I.

He played that thing pretty good.

Yeah.

I never liked the grip
in the middle of a bird.

Had to like that.

My name's Charbonneau.

Folks called me old man Charbonneau.

I'm sure that.

Well, how do you.

You the man at charge Oldies wagon?

That's right.

Anything we can do for you?

Reckon that this
you maybe so many of people here can find

use for a mighty fine
buffalo herd should like to sell.

And I'd make a good price.

Bring her out to give them away.

They're not even curing smell of a mile.

That's what
they've been telling me all along.

You're k*ll all animals yourself.

Who, me yet?

No, I was just this year
at Buffalo outfit.

Back on a stake plane.

Yeah, they had.

If I'd. Get me. I said I was too old.

And this is what they give me for
nine months.

Would sure like to sell.

What I have.

And you folks like to buy a non cured
buffalo

hide.

Guess you're not interested, partner.

I reckon not quit.

Thank you. Just saying.

Hey, hold on a minute.

As a young fella back to back like it.

Name a color.

He's always looking for a good bargain,
you know, abetted by sometimes kids.

Yours. By golly. That's right.

Here's a dollar.

Give me one or two of them mind.

What do you got there? A present
from a friend of his?

Well, I sure will.

And as might a kind of.

Yeah, that's right neighborly.

Yeah. Thank you. Obviously, you don't.

You know, if I were too scared,
I like to be back there

and see the look on McCullough's face
so that we better get moving on first.

Manager wagons. Let's go. Rolling.

I said.

All right.

Oh, all right.

Well, how'd it go at it?

Would you be Mrs.
McCullough? That's right.

My name shoved off Philip head.

The train said
maybe you'd like to buy a couple of.

My hides

and a be a big man with gray hair.

As to the name of Adams.

Yeah, it's him.

I'm afraid he was putting you on

that.

Maybe

the missus would like to have one of my.

Oh, no.

I'm afraid they're much too expensive.

Oh, no, ma'am.

I've got them at a very, very low price.

Sorry,
Mrs. Lane, I wouldn't be interested. Oh,

Mrs. Verna.

Excuse me, then I wouldn't want you
be too late keeping up with your dreams.

So you just go on. Get ahead.

If you pull the trigger, yours,
that will do just that.

Yeah, but she's going that way.

Yeah, and we're going that way.

What's that?

This is Mrs.

Lerner.

I'm taking her down
to a town called Brandon,

and that's about 65 miles south of here
to meet up with her husband.

Is there anything else you'd like to know,
Clayton?

Look, I know he was getting riled up.

I'm just an old man traveling

all by himself, and he can't blame me
for having a little curiosity.

Well, then, Junior, ma'am,

if that's okay.

I think you hurt his feelings.

I didn't mean to, but I know if
I don't like that he talk to you all day.

Well, the real buffalo hide.

Yeah. Duane. What was left them.

They smelled awful.

Poor man.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

And pull them out. Mrs. White

country, It's pretty rough up ahead.

Do you want me to take it through for you?

Now? You better lead the way.

I'll go slow.

I was gonna put.

I had no business
hitting this guy straight on.

I remember blaming yourself.

That's the way I let you into it.
I do blame myself.

Honestly, I.

I drive this wagon
halfway across the country.

Then do a fool thing like this.

We'll get it fixed. All right?

I see a stick over there
I can use as a pride.

You get the kids together
to roll the wagon.

Come on.

That's got it

is. Break.

Now all we got to do is put the wheel on
and she'll be as good as new.

So long as it stays on
till we get to Bradenton.

Well, you'll get there. All right.

It's getting kind of late.

We'll be making camp
soon. Anything else I can do?

No, but you've been a lot of help.

Thanks. I was gone.

Thanks.

That was nice of you.

Well, it was a big help.

All right,

we're going to pull it out.

Hey, you're putting too much salt in it.

I am not.

Why don't you go do something?

I hope too many cooks haven't spoiled.

It's still. Impossible.

I carried the whole thing.

You see, I like my husband.

I'm always going to be so good
to get home.

Home?

We've never even seen it.

You're wrong there.

I've seen it many times.

No letters. My husband's written.

I've seen it through his words
and through his eyes.

And I've seen it here

forever. My husband is that.

That's home to me.

Your husband's a very fortunate man.

Yes, but

I'm so much more fortunate

I have him than Duane and Sybil.

I have so much to live for.

Yes, you have. Now.

Forgive me for getting so sentimental.

Come on. That still won't keep forever.

I really do.

Looks like we got company.

How'd it go?

You remember me?

I know what I always say.

No, I got to thinking what you told me
about that town.

And I said to myself, I don't know. It.

It just don't make sense for you
to be going on the way you been going.

Who I started out
was headed that way when I saw you for

people in that town

by my is the same as anyplace else.

Well, it's made it nice
you folks did to let me during.

Well,
that's quite all right, Mr. Charbonneau.

The children finished.

Well, give me a place then. Go wash up.

It's almost bedtime.

It's still early.

No arguments now.

It's been a long day, and I.

I wonder why children

always hate to say good night

to Charbonneau. You're welcome.

Take you fill to sit a while.

But then I'd like you to be on your way.

Oh. I see exactly what I had in mind.

In the middle of the night.

I don't want to hurt anybody's
feeling, Mrs.

Lerner.

The children are here. I understand.

You're my responsibility.

I don't want somebody
who a complete stranger, to join up with.

But he's not a stranger.

At least not any more.

Oh, but I am. Ma'am, it's Mr. McCullough.

It makes good sense.
You know, you've got to be all for it.

Care who you mix with
in this part of the country.

Because if I was here going on doing
you folks some harm,

like trying to rob you or something. Well,

shucks, I

never even showed myself
first, now would I?

And what would an old man like me
be doing with all that stuff

you're talking around?

Well, I got my hands full. Just.

Just trying to sell that wagon
load of hides

here.

I sure hope I can sell them in that town.

Would you call it Brandon?

Brandon

sounds very nice.

Sort of homey.

Like he. And maybe it.

Maybe
if I can get the right price for my hands,

I'll just settle down there
and get me a good woman who can cook.

I ain't never tasted
nothing like this before.

In ten years.

At least ten years, Mr.

Sherman. The

best one.

The Who was my wife.

And I'm sorry. Oh, you don't have to be.

She was a good woman, and I know
she getting a reward wherever he is.

The Mormons, McCall.

No, thanks. That could need another bite.

It's a good thing Mr.

Charbonneau came along.

I hate to see food go to waste.

I want you back in this high German world.

Okay?

I really say quite a spell.

I guess it was selenium.

Oh, no, I could hardly say that.

And I did.

And what makes you think is so low
when you get to Brandon?

Oh, yes.

Hope that's all.

Hope, old man.

Like me, with nobody else in the world.

You selling that wagon, Laura Hyde
is all I got to keep my feet up.

Well,

that.

Will is awfully good, man.

Real good.

Now, you just stay here for just a minute.

I want to show my appreciation
for what you did for me.

Then I will. Molly.

Now, don't be right back.

Now, what do you suppose he's up to?

It's hard to tell.

You know, there's something about him
that just doesn't sit right with me.

No, to suspicious.

He's just a harmless old man

wandering around all by himself,
trying to sell those awful hides.

Yeah, that's what bothers me.

He's too harmless and he's too lonely.

Besides, nobody in his right
mind would try to keep his face up

for that worthless Miss Haskins.

Well, you heard what he said.

They're all he has.

You know, a man named Carlisle once wrote.

There's so much good in the worst of us
and so much bad in the best of us

that it ill behooves any of us
to find fault with the rest of us.

I believe that.

There's so

much good in the worst of us
and so much bad in the best of us

that it behooves any of us to find fault
with the rest of us.

I'm so glad you will.

If. Well, I sure proud of you.

Remember? Yes, sure.

This is the best thing in the whole life.

That pretty.

And that's all for you
for being so nice to me.

I'm glad.

I don't know. I mean.

This one don't smell so bad.

Here, you have a sniff.

I believe you.

I'd be pleased to take it, Mr.

Charbonneau.

I'm sure that after it's properly
cured, I'll find good use for it.

Well, thank you, ma'am.

I'll just put it on the wagon.

Thank you,

my man.

She sure is a nice female.

Hope you do.

They say a

little music helps sort of you vittles.

And if you've got no objections, I'd like
to play a little to no objection at all.

Sit down and play it. Well, thank you.

Sit for.

That.

The shame to let all that good music
go to waste.

Are you asking me to dance, ma'am?

I am the wheel.

Come on,

Play something lively, Mr.

Sharp, and we'll have a hoedown.

All right.

You are.

At work.

Oh, that's enough.

I makes all.

Yeah. Which book you use your target.

Ha ha ha.

I was meant to say you play that.

You really play. Well, thank you kindly.

Maybe you'd like to just rest for a spell
and I'll play a little lesson in music.

Oh, that's a good idea.

If it's a tune

I am, I will.

Patrick told me
that it was all about rubbers and things

like that called Bren'in on the move.

Let's
see if I can remember the words with.

No, let me just play through once

and then maybe they'll come back to them.

All right, folks, just stay where you are.

What is this, Mr. Charbonneau?

Seen is how you folks,
You've been so nice to me.

I thought maybe
you'd just like to meet my boys

first. Junior.

Some.

You got too big for his age.

Well, I'm a square.

He's a hothead with a g*n.

I reckon you just found that out.

Well, that, too, is tucked in.

Josh, you're good with a g*n, too,

But he ain't very bright.

Well, ma'am, I'm sure

I didn't remember them words,
but I always liked that tune.

It is g*n show

where you heard me, don't you?

Did you know

this?

You know that Mr.

McCullough here.

Very bright.

Knew that.

Now, if you or any one of your stature.

You're going to get k*lled.

In every way by.

Mr. Charbonneau.

You just can't take everything we own.

But, Mama,

I'm afraid you ain't no position
to tell me what I can do and what I can't.

Look at it if it's money you want,
we haven't got much, but

there's a cash box stowed in the wagon.

Well, now, that's
very nice of you to tell me that.

And don't you worry. We'll get it.

Thank you.

So let's hear.

That's a. Bootleg. That's all for school.

Okay,

Well, I'm gonna tell you shouldn't do it.

Oh, well, it's.

Very time for that.
We've got to get moving.

Hurry up.
What are they going to do to us, Mom?

I don't know, sir.
What are you going to do?

Well, I ain't going to do nothing tonight.

Folks like you.

You mean you're just going to leave it
there?

Well, I'm afraid it's right.

But why?

We have nothing of value.

What?

Ma'am, with this beautiful rig here
and all this stuff, Well,

plenty people are willing to buy it.
No question.

There's nothing to do.

So help me.

I'll catch up with you.

Hear what he says?

Boy, do you catch up with it.

Well, now, let me see.
I'll just have to stop it.

But taking some of your duds,

all we want from little lady
and the young'uns is the shoes.

Don't you touch me.

Oh, my children.

Well, come on.

If you want them, take them.

You'll have.

No one

to. Push.

Oh, you give me some.

Oh, oh,

no, no.

Oh, right, boy.

Get back to what she was doing.

I think I'll take them boots.

Hey, look, real, man. Get your hands off.

Them's my. Boots.

That was my boots.

Mine, mine, mine.

When I.

If you folks.

Villagers want to come after us,
you just feel free to do

just that.

You know we can't follow you.

We'll die out here.

Well, no, ma'am.

I told you I wasn't gonna hurt you.

Cause if you want to die out here,
that'd be your own business.

Now, wouldn't it?

Well, well, get movement.

Start that way. Get out.

Well, so long, folks.

Awfully nice meeting up with you.

Can people get my man.

If they find

to God?

What have I done

since?

Well, yourself.

What are we going to do?

Well,

we walk.

To Brandon to.

Try and catch the wagon train.

But it's moving away from us.

And they only do ten or 12 miles a day.

I'll have to pray for a breakdown.

But, Mr.

McCullough, you're.

You're in no condition to travel.

You've got a better idea.

I do.

I could go.

And you can stay here and rest.

Well, I could.

Your father would be very proud of you,

but I think he'd want you to stay
with Sybil and me.

After all, Mr.

McCullough
can't look out for us all by himself.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

Oh, we better get going.

It'll make him feel better.

How much longer we got to go?

I'm so thirsty. Not far.

Then we'll be fine.

I'll hurry.

We've been here long enough.

But we just stopped.

The children need rest.

If we stay on this longer.

Well, I won't get started again.

Hurry.

We must.

Any sign up yet?

No, I can understand
it being one day late.

But when he's to, by golly, he's back
there in that town, having himself a time.

I'm going to k*ll it.

What the devil are you doing back here?

I've got.
You're supposed to be out of cotton.

Well,
I've been halfway to California and back.

What's all this up,
Ella martin wagon broke down. Mrs.

McCullough ain't back yet.

I figure as long as we're stopped,

we might as well stay here for the night
and get a fresh start tomorrow morning.

What if he ain't back by then?

We'll go on without him.

Major, you can't do that.
Oh, says I can't.

Nobody, Aggie. All right.

Have you noticed him lately, Bill?

Everytime that might come back
when he's supposed to

start fretting like an old set in here.

Hey, you got anything to eat?

Have I?

Come on.

Oh, oh, oh,

come on.

This is the one

that's bad.

We can't drink it.

We got to poison.

Oh, no use.

We can't go on.

We've got to keep moving.

Go on.

I can't just leave here.

Save yourself.

You still have strings.

I've got to get out.

You've got a personality for.

See a writer
for ten miles out in this country.

We could have missed him

every so, but I doubt it.

I'll just bet you anything

that that McCullers hanging over a bar
in a saloon in that town.

Well, if he is, you wish he'd never laid
eyes on me.

Make me
hold up the train and go looking for him.

I'll tell you one of these days I'm.

What?

What are you looking at?

Up above that hill there was an

Give me some water bill.

And my

the alerted.

South

South.

Well, go. Get away.

Just hurry up with it.

Right up.

You go ahead.

I don't care what you say.

I'm going back.
Nobody is going to treat me like that.

Oh, I'm going to tell about.

Well,
you're not going to live to tell about it.

If you go back there by yourself.
Then why don't you come with me?

You know darn
well I got to keep this train moment.

Well, if. You hadn't seen Western Heart.

Somebody had to go back with.
I learned that, didn't they?

When you listen to me,
you're just barely back.

I'm going. I'll catch up with you later.

All up, bull headed.

Get yourself k*lled.

Serbia right to not stand over your mouth
hanging.

Open it. Load it up.

We're going to get to California.

If I had to take you there all by myself.

You can



I'm going to.

Tell you right?

You want to bet you can't make me go?

I Oh.

A few of those Cale

brothers of yours
throw your r*fles out of that

one sound out of you and my men.

And I'm going to use this wagon
for a target practice with you in it.

Get them out.

You got 10 seconds to make up your mind.

You boys are just wasting your strength.

By golly, Mr.

Charbonneau, that is a good,

you know, fellow, a travelers like you do.

I never get lonely with a doodad
like that to keep me company.

Well, Fred, you just said a lot of words.

The truth is positive news
or anything like that in the world,

and I sure do enjoy it.

Please
play with another one. Mr. Charbonneau.

We just about got time for supper.

When I'd be pleased to. Man

it is.

The tomb of Pappy taught me all about road
thieves and robbers.

In Section

called Brennan on the Moor.

Been.

As you folks have been so nice to me,
I thought maybe you'd like to meet my boy.

The person here is dead.

Don't bother.

Santa. Anna, What are you doing?

I'll explain to you later.

Holding up that game.

Oh, you hope?

You mean he was fixing the rubbish?

That's exactly what I mean.
He's got four boys out there just.

Going to.

Look right.

Sons.

I know. You all know.

No, I had enough.

I was worried about him down there.

You got some road, man,

and you.

You got a great McCullough one.

Me and my boys get hold of you again.

You watch what's going to happen here.

Are you going to wait for friend?

Is the dance you and your boys
are going to do at the end of our rope?

Yeah, man.

Going, love, hang is all your.

Oh, shut your mouth.

Go say yeah

what McCullough said you did to him
and what he's fixing on doing to me.

You're lucky
we don't hang you right here, boy.

You ever get to Bradenton?

I am a car.

All right,

wait a minute.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yes, You have it on your plate, Brandon.

On the moor at your funeral.

Yeah.
You dig that mark, don't you, McClellan?

Where? Me and my boys. Good job.

What do you wish you was
never going to be around when you're dead?

Don't you forget

the Bible by basin.

I sure am glad you was on our side.

Pretty handy yourself.

Thank you.

Well, all right.

I'll see you later.

Yup. Yep.

What about the murders? Right.

You get it back for me? Yep.

I can't use any other g*dd*mn thing,
except.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm hungry.

Oh, Wagon

over the prairie

where
there are no rats all over the there.

Look at the board.

My am the weather vane through the Lord.

We stay together side by side.

More wagon for

wagon troop. Oh,

a passenger in with some one loaded piece
that we're gonna sit down

looking for a meeting, looking for a g*n.

Be pretty rough on the wagon.

Oh. Gotta keep them.

On the long line to go

and follow the soldier.

Oh. Wagon.

You never had a company.

You know I won't get out of poverty,
but not the board.

I am the weather friend to the w*r.

We stay together side by side.

All the one.
