03x26 - The Maggie Hamilton Story

[bunniefuu]

I expect to get it.

If you want something, take it.
That's what I said.

The hungry. Let's not attack
a herd of buffalo.

That's why you Indians
are going to lose everything you ever got.

Butterfly.

A chief, Tell me how US
Eagles are going to get that close

and all that good stuff down there.

There are too many for a yellow belly.

Even a wolf does not attack a herd.

You know any fables?

A sick one was stray
from the herd and the.

I don't have to live this way

over to Hamilton.

You hold your tongue.

Just because you're traveling west is
no excuse for you to act like a barbarian.

I am fed up with a stinking West.

Daughter.

A lady doesn't use such language.

I'm no lady any more than these, you dirty
handed, filthy fingernail things.

A gentleman.

I told you to keep your voice down.

Now you come back into this wagon.

Or I'll. Tell you what. Spank me.

Margaret, You know your father wouldn't
do such a thing.

It stinks. It stinks.

Just because you're a failure doesn't mean

that I have to live
with these dirty people and smelly horses.

Smelly horses I hate.

I hate you. I hate you.

You'll be sorry to wait and see.

You'll be sorry,

Tony.

Inside out and yellow.

Your happy hunting grounds. Cherokee, Ned.

Because you better than halfway there.

You got more whiskey in your veins
and Cherokee.

You raise your hand to me again.

You'll join your ancestors
in happy hunting grounds.

The eagle will not go in the hole
for the rodent.

An eagle?

Yeah.

Maria, let's get going.

Come on.

Get out of.

Come on, brave eagle.

We're going to fly.

Everybody to get his step.

Charlie, I want to move as soon as we can.

There must be an easier way
to make a living.

And I'm sure if there was,
you would have found it not.

Get gone.

Stop laying down on the job. Lay.

And that's it. Chickens, Veal.
They do all the work.

Well,
you raise ham and I'll raise chickens.

What are you mumbling about?
I got it. I found the answer.

I'm going to raise some mics
if you don't get to work.

Chicken.

Now, what's bothering him,

man, is Garfield drivers.

All of the chickens.

Major Adams.

Oh, good morning, Mr. Hamilton.

My daughter has disappeared.

Well, when did this little problem
present itself?

Last night.

So this morning you've decided it's a big
enough problem to share with me, huh?

Normally,
I wouldn't bother you. In the city.

We know where to look for her.

Well, she's done this before.

Now she's just a highly strung out.

My wife has indulged her from the moment
she was born.

And in return for giving her everything,
she returns my paternal affections.

Well, I.

Appreciate your problem, folks,
but I'm sure that your little daughter

will stop her sulking as soon as we start
to move, if not before.

You don't understand, Mary Louise.

Contain yourself.

I don't seem to have seen much
of your little girl lately.

What's your name? Maggie. Is it.

Margaret? Margaret.

I'm sure that

Margaret's no different than a hundred
other girls that have been on this train.

I realize that it's a difficult adjustment
for a city bred

young girl to make,
but somehow they all make it.

If we were in the city under the same
circumstances, I wouldn't bother you.

But out here in the wilderness.

You assured us when we agreed to come,
did you do everything to make this

a safe journey?

When you agreed to come, Mrs.

Hamilton,
you make it sound like I twisted your arm.

Just tell me,
do you intend to do your duty?

Need I remind you
that you have been sufficiently reimbursed

for your services,
which up until now seemed to require

no more than you are following
the same old looks of the other trains.

Mrs. Hamilton.

Do you.

Do you have any idea
where your darling child might be hiding?

She took a horse that much we know.

I'm sure she's on fire
somewhere in your hills.

My hills?

She'll have caught her death of gold.

She didn't take a sure look.

You know.

She didn't take the shawl or gloves.

What a shame.

A fine, well-bred
young city girl being caught out there

in the brush by a predatory animal
without her white gloves.

So if I knew the way of animals,
I wouldn't ask you to do us this service.

The way of animals.

Well,
I'll tell you about the way of animals.

There isn't a rattlesnake or a four legged
beast out there that wouldn't run

before your daughter sees them.

You're just saying that to reassure us?

Oh, I'm
not sure just how that's the truth.

But there are two legged animals out there

that would put any self-respecting wolves
to shame.

Beasts, savages,

Men. I'll hold you legally responsible
for the safety return of my daughter.

Legally responsible.

What about the hundreds of people
on this train?

What about their wagons and their goods?

That I'm leading down this same old rut?

Just because that Pepper
Darias decides to throw a tantrum?

I'm supposed to stop the whole outfit
and go fetch her.

But if the savages catch her,

she's only an innocent young girl.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

She's got to grow up.

Marie-Louise, will you please stop it?

You know as well as I do that
our precious, innocent young daughter

is too smart to go
where she can't be found.

So stop carrying on.

Remember,
Marguerite wants us to suffer now.

I refuse to play into her hand.

Well, you let her get away with it
before this time.

You'll go fetch her. Horace,

I'm not going out there to face those men.

Don't you please stop sniffing them.

It's your fault.

I have to gamble my very life.

I've been all up and down a man
and ready to roll in time.

You are. Tell him to hold up.
We're not rolling. Yes.

Building on how long ago? McCullough left.

Not rolling.

What's the matter with you,
Major? You're getting like an old woman.

You can make up your mind
whether you're coming or going.

You know all about women.

Charlie Major went left a.

Bunch sun up again,
back in two or three. Hours.

I'll go get him.

Soon as Bill and Flynn get back,
we pull out.

Yes, sir.

If you expect a fee for what you may
consider extra services.

I'd like to go. On record here.

I just wish that you were ten years
younger and £50 heavier.

You'd pay through the nose.

I prefer you're not addressing me
by my Christian name.

Horace, please contain yourself.

Oh, will.

You please mind your own business?

No wonder our daughter is so impossible.

No, apple never falls from the tree.

Oh, I knew this day would come.

I've never been so chagrined
in all my life.

My dear mother told me.

She warned me time and time again.

Goodbye. Married a foreign cultured woman.

It would be the ruination. Of my life

and. Well, Major, I understand
that one of your lambs has gone astray.

No, nothing like that.

We're just resting the wagons
till you two got back.

I've told him about the girl
being missing.

Thought he might have seen some sign
over this morning.

Get everybody ready to roll.

Oh, but.

Did you see any sign of her?

No, I don't think so.

You don't think so? Well,
did you or didn't you?

Well, I saw fresh tracks of the house.

A dozen horses, maybe, but wild.

Not unless horses are started
drinking whiskey out of bottles running.

Huh? Yeah,
but I wouldn't worry about them.

We're pretty strong.
Too strong for them to hit us.

I don't imagine they'll go
out of their way to avoid Maggie Hamilton.

She's perfect.

A fine time to play hide and seek with her
folks.

Maggie Hamilton.

That's a little blond,
but they are looking.

I Well, I just didn't bother to notice
the odd look in her eye.

You just get her back here before
she find some trouble to get herself in.

Do you know in this country
she wants to make it difficult.

Take me several days to find it.

So it'll take several days.

Just get her back here.

Oh, and by the way, you might tell
the young lady with the look in her eyes

that if it makes her happy,
it upset people.

She ought to be golden, happier.
Now, wait a minute.

Is there anything more you can tell me?

That's all. I know.

Maybe you better talk to her, folks.

Maybe you can get more
sense out of the night. It

can't.

As far as I'm concerned.

She will ride in the wagon
the rest of the trip.

This time.

It may be months before I will forgive her
or deign to speak to her again.

You're right.

Of course, Horace.

But couldn't you wait and punish her
when we get to San Francisco?

So hard to get along out here
in the wilderness?

We need every bit of comfort
we can give each other.

She gives me nothing,

and unless she learns to have humility
and begs me for consideration,

I will not forget how she caused me
to suffer in front of that Philistine

Adams, the Prussian pompous, stable hand.

He said there were horrible men out there.

Supposing they catch her before
she makes up her mind to come back.

You can blame it on her foreign blood.

I've told you, if it wasn't nominated,
it would be her ruination.

Is this the Hamilton wagon?

I am Horace Jurist Hamilton.

Oh, honey, I'm Philip McCullough.

I've met you. I scout for the wagon train.

You want to tell me that my daughter
has come out from the rock

She's been hiding behind
and refuses to ride with us.

No, I want to tell you that the measures

ask me to go find her
before she gets in any real trouble.

So if you'd be obliged
to tell me where she could be.

Well, I'll get on with the job.

I'm pleased to see that Adams realizes
I meant it when I told him

I would hold him legally responsible
for her physical well-being.

Legally responsible?

You mean you're going to sue him
if I can't bring her back?

I would.

Suddenly you are a father, Isaiah.

I'll remind you to keep your station.

You'll know it's Margaret.

She has on a turquoise
print dress with lace on the bodies.

I don't want to upset you, Mama.

Have you any idea
the kind of trouble she might get into?

If you expect to extort a fee from me
for your menial services

by dramatizing your task,

I will remind you
that we have been through this before,

and we are not to be duped
like hysterical parents.

You mean your daughter's
in the habit of running off.

Since she was a little girl.

Her first governess made

the drastic mistake of treating her return
as though she were a precious jewel.

Just what you expect for your services.

Well, you know
more about this problem than I do.

How much do you figure it out? As with

what do you earn as a scout?

$15 a month.

Then I'll pay you
no more than $0.50 a day.

Well, against. Her.

She never goes far.

She'll be just out there
behind one of those rocks.

Would you be kind enough to see?

She wears her gloves and her shawl.

Says Mann.

And don't treat her like a precious jewel.

That's what started this
wholly the uproar. See

you do it.

I will pay you for your cooperation.

You have.

I ought to leave you right here.

It's dirty

and where are you,

you miserable people?

Where

they come from.

That'll be all

for I'll be.

That's a piece of a woman's petticoat.

My name ain't Sam Bass.

How do you figure
that got there, Laughing boy.

What do you think?

Yellow Cloud, One of your happy
hunting ground ghosts playing games.

Somebody come from Wagon Train, somebody.

I ain't no Indian Scout.

And I can tell you that somebody is
a female or, I don't know, my female.

What else does

the black sheep of the Cherokee Nation
read?

Woman does not belong here.

She does not know how to drink
as the best kind.

Which way did she go?

I'll give you a lesson

in females
that you can add to your tribal lore.

This female wanted to be found.

How do you like that poor sign
reading from your great white father?

You don't believe me?

Well, follow her.

I'll show you.

A woman. Sick. No good.

Bad medicine

of a yellow cloud.

The Royal Cherokee is
afraid of an unhappy female.

Come on, brave nose.

Lead us to bad medicine
and I'll show you out.

She's worth more than a bag of gold.

We wouldn't want whoever.

She left this boy to get lost,
now, would we?

Even you can figure this out.

Chief Yellow Dog.

Two heads are better than one

with this back and forth thing.

Come on, I will lose use.

Ha ha ha ha.

Anyone who eats grass has to be stupid.

What a ridiculous creature you are.

People ride, you, kick you anything.

You have legs to kick with.

Why don't you use them?

You know what I'd do if I were a horse?

All those people
just to catch little old me.

I'm going to give them
a run for their money.

I have

my first.

She's my

seven

year old.

I wait to see Sam Bass.

I'll teach you $0.02.

You come hear me on my jaw. Put out.

You open your mouth again.

You wish you hadn't.

You learn a lesson

and you're done roaming away from the

wagon train. Now

picking daisies.

Keep your mouth shut.

You'll be pushing them up.

She's not bad looking, considering.

She's getting pretty hard to even
she don't.

Belong to somebody on the wagon train
who can afford to buy her back.

She'll get sure enough,
pretty as the days add up,

you better keep your mouth shut
where you lose the rest of your teeth.

Women
worse than whiskey for making trouble

when you now

son of the chief of the Cherokees
is afraid of women too.

One woman, six men,

Trouble,

sick woman,

Bad medicine.

You got your arithmetic wrong.

Five men, one yellow bellied Indian

Indian woman Get sick with meanness.

Medicine men beat the devil out of her.

She not die.

She good woman Well,
if you got more one, I suppose she can.

Afford to be dyed oftener.

She's better trade in material
for what we need

of the wagon train
than a bag full of gold.

We've been needing a lucky break,
and she's it.

She is evil spirit.

So what do we.

The answer to a mother's prayer.

She'd been a good girl
and stayed with a wagon train.

We'd still have no easy way
for getting what we want.

So she bites a little. So?

So we bite her back.

There's one one way to skin a polecat.

Back out.

Indians have funny bones.

You afraid to laugh?

I don't want to make you laugh.

You want to

laugh?

There's more than one way
to skin a polecat.

Oh, and don't you forget it.

I know.

We've got to get some sleep.

We got some horsetrading to do tomorrow
and we got to be sharp.

Slim. Put a blanket on the filly.

But what out she bites.

She bites.

This will keep you warm.

Honey, you need any help?

Just call for sleep.

My friends.

What are you scared of?

I'm willing to be a nice fellow
and keep you company.

If you promise to behave yourself.

You'll be sorry.

Wait and see.

My family are important people.

You wouldn't spoof me now, would you?

Be sorry?

She'll ask me

what he should do to
when I tell him to hang you.

Who's he?

Is he right away? The horse.

Maybe.

Maybe carries a long spear
like in a fairy tales.

Honey, we're both grown people.

Fairy tales is for the kids.

Why don't you make it easy on yourself and

M.B.A. from this lodge?

What do you say?

Look, honey,

it's again my nature to treat any Galloway
I done You

you hadn't taken had bite out of my hand.

We might have got off Prado
to be real good friends.

All you have to do is promise
that you behave yourself and our entire

what you say.

All right.

What's a nice girl

like you do
wandering away from your folks?

If you want to talk,
we get further away from the others.

You're anxious to wake him up.

I knew you and me were alike.

And the joke

white folks.

I knew that Indian would crack someday.

Him and Sam, we're out there in the woods.

Find out where that girl

here.

What an Indian and I snakes.

And I like bears to Sam Better
watch himself under the fantastic

and get their arms around
you like a grizzly bear and squeeze

to break your backbone.

How careful you dare.

I would tell you how I lost his teeth.

Lavanya where he works.

I've seen him.

This guy come up to me.

And when I met hollyhocks in his hand,
he swung at my scalp.

I ducked only I ducked the wrong way.

Instead of going this way,
I went this way. And that's where I got.

To right around

dawn and get down.

And. Then even a sense of shortness,
chirps,

probably lying around here
someplace with a broken neck

or an

easy. Ms..

HAMMETT Easy.

Let me have that water.

That's all you need right now.

You made me suffer enough already.

I've made you suffer.

You know my name.
You must be sent by my parents to save me.

You just can't imagine
what I've been through because of you.

Because of me.

Give me that order.

Oh, you're a boy.

And I'll never forgive you.

Give it to me. You.

You take it easy, Ms.. Hamilton.

You've been through a lot,
and you've got a right to be upset.

But if you just listen to me,
everything be all right.

I want more water,
and I'll not listen to you.

You don't get any.

Not now.

Oh, it's just like
my parents just sent a brute to help me.

To stand it.

And your horse is a beast.

To their due. Course. They did.

How would you like to be tied up
and gagged?

Come on, don't dramatize that.

You weren't gagged when I found you.

It looks to me like you're able to travel.

I was gagged.

And if you'd done what you were paid to do

and got here sooner,
you would have seen how they treated me

out. Apologize. Later.

Get on your horse.

I I'll.

I'll.

You do that.

I get to know a lot more than gag you.

Aren't you the scout from the wagon train?

That's right. I've heard about you.

Now I've heard a lot about you too.

I think you can just make women
fall at your feet.

Well, you're not going to have your
way with Margaret Hamilton.

Well, I may.

Oh, you calling Maggie?

This mare?

Look,

I'm to stop.

Not now.

I'm tired and hungry.

So am I.

When we get there.

Not by a night.

You must be lost, Mr.

Scout.

The name is McCullough.

How can it take two days to go?

What I did in one.

Because the wagon train isn't
standing still.

Well, if you think I'm going
to spend a night out in the wilderness

with you.

Come on, Maggie.

Oh, look at that.

Beautiful rabbit

you got.

You k*lled him.

This is our dinner

for my.

You, you, you rabbit K*llers.

You, you, you awful scout. You.

You're no gentleman.

No one's ever going to accuse you
of being a lady.

Oh, I hate you.

I've never seen anyone suffer so much
trying to prove that they hated everybody.

You will be sorry. You'll see.

You'll be sorry. I'm sorry. I already.

Now, come on, little girl.

Get on the horse.

He walks here and we'll go fix it up.

You work?

I won't eat. I hate you, lions.

I hope I die.

I'm not going to hate you.

All right. Come on, now.

The Funds fans over. Get on the horse.

Don't you come near me.

Such as?

I do not. I.

I'm so.

Can't

share it with you.

I'm not going back to that wagon train.

Give me that g*n.

You aren't going to take me back.

I said give me that g*n.

You stay right where you are. I'll use it.

You don't promise not to take me back,
so help me.

I'll use it.

You're not a child.

I want you to act your age.

Don't try me, Flint.

I know my own mind. I'm not going.

Why not?

They'll laugh at me.

I hate their silly grind.

I'm not going.

Maggie.

You're either a good person or a bad one.

You've got to make up your mind.

Which do you want to be?

If I k*ll you, it's
going to be your fault.

You're going to grow.

Up all the way right now.

It is

all sorry,

I should.

Take my college back without a girl.

I wonder what took him to go learn What?

I don't know.

And I.

Well, imagine it's about time.

Yeah, it's about time.

Good night for.

Some time.

My little boy.

Some.

Well.

I hope you're satisfied.

You had your mother in here frantic

for a man who's supposed to know his way
around the wide open spaces.

You certainly took your own good time
finding one little girl.

Well, I found a little girl right off, Mr.

Hamilton.

It was the big girl
that took all the time.

But now you think you're going
to get more money for me? No.

Not at all.

As a matter of fact, I think that it's.

I should thank you

for everything.

But Father,

I'm sorry.

But why Margaret Hamilton, I.

I do believe you've finally grown up.

You really?
