05x23 - The Charley Shutup Story

[bunniefuu]

Oh, they Manicaland.

Is basically known
for. Their belligerence.

But right now they're mad.

They know the high country
very likely to do.

The plane.

We've got through the two country Hour
at Mr.

Hale.

The banks can't be that bad.

They aren't meant to market.

The food didn't have the weather
in the mountains on their side.

And I'm sure you're all acquainted
with the Donner

tragedy.

You better tell them.

That the weather has turned
bad over the crest of the mountains

about two months earlier
than I. Usually that.

We would get halfway in the paths
and get snowed in.

Well, that's whatever. The Donner Party.

That the only way over.

No matter the place up north.

Because Chilkoot pass.
But it really isn't a pass at all.

I mean,
it doesn't get you over the Sierras.

It puts your right
smack on the worst part.

You have to spend the winter there.

Believe me,
that's a lot worse than staying here.

So now it looks like
we're going to have to camp right here

until the weather cleared.

Let's hope the pass doesn't fill up.

I don't like it. You don't like it.

But I'd rather see on a happy than dead.

And if it'll make you feel any better,
the Army recommends the same course.

That's the way it's going to be.

Now, the

question with us, John, I know that.

Maybe is right.

There's that much danger.

We'll tell you the danger of

spending the rest of our lives grabbing

somebody else's land for a living.

I've had enough of that.

Who straighten this thing out tonight
after supper.

What I'm trying to say is

he left the man,
all of us, his whole family.

But we've got to take possession
before January 15th.

Something about taxes, tackling.

We sold everything
we had to make this trip.

All we've got is in them wagons
and on our backs.

But we've got to keep going.

Snow or no snow?

Indians or no Indian.

You think anything's worth that risk?

Enough gold to make everyone that
was comfortable for the rest of our lives.

That's why I've got to ask you
to carry out your bargain with us, Mr.

Hale.
Just get us to the top of Donner Pass.

We can make it on an American gap
from there.

And going down Nevada with no trouble.

I know you're going to say
it can't be done,

but I'm just going to say
it's got to be done.

And if I say no.

And we will try to make it on by ourself,

those people.

So giving you travel.

And little and determined to go on along.

I guess you set them straight on that.

I tried.

It didn't do any good.

And one way to help them get to the top.

You can't argue with people like that.

You just have to tell them
they can't do it and they'll go on alone.

Then they're out of their mind. Maybe.

But you just
can't let them go out by themselves.

And I can't stop them.

I'd like you to take them up.

And Pardon me.

I've got enough on my conscience as it is.

Look, Chris, you the boss, the 20.

You don't. You can have. People
telling you what to do.

Nor can I let them run the chance
of k*lling himself.

And don't look at me.

I don't want the responsibility
of taking them

as a greenhorns in the dawn of summer
when they get snowed in.

Nobody knows what's going to snow. Well,
nobody knows.

It won't either.

If you want to be a big enough fool,
a gamble on that, you take them up.

You're afraid to take them. Say so.

I'm not afraid to take them anyplace.
They're going to walk.

Then on your pay.

I'm not paid for making bad decisions.

That's your last
word. That's my last word.

I could make it an order.

Three or four others.

Wrong.

Well, we have to get to that mine
and come back to work.

In a lot of trouble.

You people don't know how
mean this country can get.

I was hoping that the hell with them.

You were wrong

in California is wonderful.

They say. Just a place for young people.

California's fine.

I figured I might settle down
after I show you.

Come visit me.

Well, please.

You're not.

You bet I will.

I personally am looking forward to it.

You know, I'll bet.

On saloons,
Mormon station, wagon, any. Saloon.

You mean they got that town?

Well, what do you know about that?

Well, sit down, man. It's not pretty.

Or by comparison to some people.

With your help.

Well, let Mr.

Musk give you what he wants.

You know, Charlie.

Your man must make a real good
general, gets Christmas dinner,

and then he sends a flanker out
after Duke.

And a pretty smart graffiti move to.

What do you think I can do, Duke?

Well, he's kind of got us over a barrel.

Can't let him go on alone.

I've got the right to keep him here.

I was sort of thinking maybe Clinton.

I could.

I'm not quite.

Oh, and I can't say that I blame him.

Anyway,
you'll have to stay here and scout ahead

in case the weather lifts
and you can break through.

I'm going to take them
if you want me to go.

Thanks, Bill.
You have your hands full here.

I thinking when you get in to dinner,
you're going to have to double hit.

I must keep party in exactly handy.

It's better that pretty feeling.

That's just about all.

You can think about it and compete.

Well, I was just thinking. I ought to go.

That's all.

You know, I was going to suggest that
maybe you could leave the womenfolk here,

and then you and Chris
could take the men over the top.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't do that.

We're going to need every.

Very funny.

All right, Duke,
you be ready in the morning.

We'll take them to the top. A dollar.

Fine, sir.

I better go tell her.

I mean, better tell Mr. Muskie.

I'll tell him. You tell her.

Yes, sir.



Yes. You know, Chris,
you're biting off quite a mouthful.

It doesn't snow.

You still got those innings.

Think about
what would be six men g*n to wagon.

And you like it very well, but
I don't think he'll do anything about it.

The weather that'll just hold off.

We'll be all right.

I didn't mean to.

Fly off the handle.

It just seems to me
like a stupid thing to do.

It is stupid.

Sometimes you get stuck with stupidity.

I guess I figured if I didn't take them,
they wouldn't go.

Well,
I'll take them to that guy in heaven.

I didn't say that

it was trying to earn my pay.

Roger Bologna with the train.

Train will be in good hands
with you and Bill.

The weather lesson
You can scout the path of It's clear.

Take the train on through.

Worry about us. It'll be all right.

Anyway.

The Muskies are my personal problem.

Yourself.

But be careful.

Of that, Bill.

But I must move out.

Good luck. Are

on the road.

What's the matter, boy?

Trouble. Brother William is here.

You couldn't be here. Oh.

Well, I checked Forbes.
Haven't he brought them there?

But everything else.

I was going to spend the night inside.

We get this, Will.

Jack.

We'll be ready to go.

Oh, Duke, I.

Don't worry about it.

At home.

Wherever.

That poor fellow, when he left the cabin
in good shape, Duke of York.

I hope so.

We're just trying to hear.

Good.

Well, I want to hate to leave you, Duke.

You got no choice.

I can't make it up a path like this.

You're going to be alone with him.

Just to Mr.

Hale, get you to the top and on your way.

We've left you
plenty of food and blankets.

Duke, if you're going to be all right.

I've it with the Blackfeet tribe.

I reckon
I can get along with these visitors.

But only going to take one wagon
and we'll have to double that.

So we better get started. Muskie,

Don't you worry.

I'm good. What's everybody so upset about?

I figured to sit here by a nice, warm
fire with plenty to eat.

Well,
you got to call your way up that path.

I got the better half of the deal.

Well, you see, you take care of yourself.

I will. Good luck.

It'll be on my account.

This business.

You got to expect the worst to happen.

Doesn't your wear
the game get to California?

Get that?

My money is not the most important thing
in the world.

I always wanted to call on a rich gal.

Who will come calling on me.

Won't you set up a dinner?

I hold you to it.

I'll be waiting for it. Get.

I reckon you won't have to wait long.

I be.

We know

that tomorrow

I going to be all right, Duke.

Very ingenious, young man.

This must be so cold in there.

He's got a warm cabin.

That's more we've got.

Oh, you can have it
any time you want to turn around.

We're doing all right.

I haven't even begun to meet Tom yet.

Well, I'm just now.

I am early now, Comet.

I'm all right, sir.

Just a little winded.

I don't doubt it.

We're almost 11,000 feet up here.

Beaver

River, Mississippi.

We're used to this high.

This kind of weather can probably
still make it back towards cabin.

You go down by yourself, Mr.

Ham, We don't hate you
no more. Not boy down there.

One of the best friends I have.

I mean, all right,
Maybe everybody paid to paid it go time,

but you know that nine on.

What's that supposed to mean?

I warned you
not to try to make it through.

I made it in pain and I couldn't do it.

But I learned everything I had.

And you're willing to risk the lives
of your entire family for a few million

right now? Look here.

Are you going to 80 miles
to some of the toughest country in America

ahead of you in a blizzard?

No Rain man. I'd be out in my left.

You wouldn't live for 48 hours.

I said we don't need you no more.

Not going back. I'll say

you'll do it.

I paid you. I want to stay alive.

You begin by getting that girl
in the wagon and keeping her warm

by me. Now

start.

With that.

I'm afraid

that it would

talk to yourself.

Okay.

And Norma,

you right now.

What?

Robert wanted a real happy reader.

I'll try to get some.

Soup down to

John.

We shouldn't have tried.

It doesn't make any difference
one way or the other now.

All right, We got to get out.

All right?

I know, I know.

I'll to go out on hard.

Right out. They call and keep in contact.

Find her by our drop.

By or I

never, ever

myself.

Why are you so upset about now?

I have your gold mine.

Know who I.

Value?

The camp

for and

the great

crib.

You give me one.

Reason why I shouldn't finish you.

Off right now.

What?

I'm out of my two three days.

I ain't got no reason like any.

You understand

not to come in here.

Just do what you could. Fine.

If I go frenzy early,
will you just let yourself go?

I still haven't made up my mind
what to do about you.

You're just lucky
I feel like talking to somebody.

Otherwise you be of be by now,

don't you?

Would you stop thinking you're not?

I'd say we're all tied up like that.

Not here. Certainly.

What do you not get either?

You sure do look like a real town rat.

I know you were so puny.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt you.

I just need. Knock it out.

You do that again.

I'll wrap this crap
right around your ears.

Open.

I think I'd be spoon feed.

Not even first either.

Don't go getting any ideas.

I just done that because you're going
to need something that you're before

I get done with you.

You don't like that day?

Well, that would be lying there.

You'd already have a fire
going on my chest.

So you just a good hanging.

I don't know. Why bother with you?

Wait till.

God go.

He got to you.

Quit running, cabbage.

You have to work.

You got no use for these

two, remember?

Take baths

cold to

come.

Have little clean.

Yeah.

I go to a lot of trouble.

Not to make me mad in it

because I get riled.

You going to get this here
b*llet, brother? Right between your eyes.

Tell me

Make way.

That's right.

Next time.

It's not going to do any good
to take it out.

Some coffee.

Thank you.

Well,

we're going downhill
for the next 15 miles tomorrow anyway.

Oh, good,

good and bad.

Because the blizzard stop doesn't mean
the drifts are going to get any smaller.

We'll have to send a team out ahead
to break them down to the wagon

with Muskie.

Your husband could use a little comfort.

We k*lled my daughter.

He was his daughter, too.

He was only doing
what he thought was best man.

Sometimes things just happened.

I Baby's dead. Yes,

she's dead.

But your husband's still alive.

John, why don't you come over

with the firewood Warm

that thing

I said back there,
I was a savage thing to do.

I'm sorry.

You have to be.

He was right.

No, man, No right to do a thing like that.

You have one?

No. Sometimes man does foolish thing.

I've often wondered if a woman

really understands the responsibility

a husband father had

sometimes sheer terror.

Knowing you haven't done
what you should have done for

your man, you've given

pity, clothing, taken care of.

Sometimes in this life,
it isn't easy to take care of yourself

when you love someone.

Well, that's a load manage to carry.

And when things go on bad for a long time

and can do something foolish

I did once.

I'll never stop blaming myself any.

And you will, John.

At least you have a wife left.

You need a husband.

We're going to need you to, John.

We're going to get out of here.

That's too tough a trip
to carry the dead weight. So

how about coming.

Back to life, huh?

Yeah.

This is about time,

Mr. Hale,

that brought back their grief.

She thought a lot of him.

I sure hope he's all right.

So why now?

It's a difference.

I start today.

Tomorrow?

By golly,
you got worse table manners, Charlie.

With you.

I mean, there's between you and him,
as you talk less,

I could have my finger, sir.

You know, Charlie get along just fine.

That'll be a good name for you, Charlie.

I, uh.

Charlie sure has it.

Charlie said

Aisha.

All right, Charlie, shut up.

It is for

you. Behave yourself
and I'll belt you when I come back.

Going out to the butcher or something.

All right, John, you just follow this
trail about five miles.

Oh, that right there.

Immigrant camp,
Just the other side of that base.

And you ought to make it by nightfall.

We've been very foolish people, Mr. Hale.

Better things happen to that boy.

It'll be our fault.

You let us know what the hell.

Yeah, I'll do that.

Well, good luck.

Godspeed.

Get up in my

OR there.

There's hope. I find some pretty quick.

I'm sorry to make it to all of you.

How'd you get there?

Easy.

It was pretty good.

After we eat, I'll get you some firewood.

You only got two chairs left

That was really jolly.

Like a wild man.

I saw figures,

Charlie.

What was it?

What was it?

Squirrel.

Rabbit.

Deer,

Brownie.

What?

I wanna.

Powwow.

Charlie.

That's a

little skunk.

I want you

nuts little critters out.

Now we go over.

Oh, Oh,

I reckon I better keep the r*fle.

Charlie. It's
not that I don't trust you. Just.

I'm a better shot than you are.

You sure?

Had you got a skunk with it?

You ought to be
able to get a rabbit swimming

in all blue.

You go in the cabin

too cold.

Leave that to me.

And I

break up the heat on it.

I got a clean off.

I got time.

I'm going to tell you what
a great wooden man.

Now, me Eagle and.

I'll tell you what I think about it.

You keep right on.

You can use it better than I can now.

Anyhow.

And from me.

Amy, Maria.

And Gabby.

In your old age.

Charlie,

get some water. Put it in the bucket.

Put it in a kettle.

Boil it on the fire,

and then I'll give you a present

like one of your buddies.

I know it was no good to eat. Now.

Oh, that's not a drink,

John.

You want to like this

thing?

Make a new mirror

like that.

You could stand being one.

Yeah.

It's your turn now.

Come on.

Come on.

I'm trying to help you up.

I expect to get along society
going around like a mountain goat and.

Charlie

like to go to

and you and sheepskin coat

out of the people have got to.

Go on.

Good, huh?

All right,

I'll make you a deal.

If you take a bet They're both yours.

I You don't get a thank you.

Get that cr*cker back

telling

I get busy,

Charlie.

I give a year's pay to have a mirror
right now.

Yeah, you're funny.

Line up, fella.

Take one look at you and say.

And I'm going to write a little draft
digger.

Probably don't even have a time.

I look at you
and I'll get mine. So you're a clown.

You're no clown, Charlie.

You're a man.

Much of a man that I've ever known.

A record

we got to go through to see that

you tried to k*ll me
and I put a b*llet in.

Take the boat out.

We have to.

You have to haul me out of a hole before

either one of us can see what's right
there.

All time.

It's a couple of human critters

trying to keep alive.

I think that's kind of funny, Charlie.

Need more?

And Chris here comes back pretty quick.

I want you come back to the train
with me, meet some of my friends.

Charlie Wooster.

Boy, can he talk.

You think that blizzard
We had made a lot of noise.

Do you like him?

Too big man. Tough, but he's a fine farm

boy. Will they
have a beer when they see you come in?

I think I've been in the hills too long.

It more

be kind of like that, don't you?

Tell me.

Let you.

No matter.

When we get back, I'm going to get you.

Do it up like no Indian ever was.

Maybe in San Francisco.

I'll get you one of those fancy
feather collars and a big heavy

walking stick with a big silver top.

You can crack the skull of a buffalo
with one of those, Charlie.

Oh, that's pretty good.

Nick.

Tomorrow

I figured you would.

You don't have to wear them all the time.

Charlie.

I've just been sitting here
trying to figure out what happened to Mr.

Hill.

But to me over the past.

Otherwise, he'd been back here by now.

What probably happened was he

took them all the way into the gap.

You're going to like him, Charlie.

I guess Mr.

Hill's about the finest man
I've ever known.

Yes, sir.

You're going to like him.

I'm going down on the flat again.

See if I can scare up a rabbit.

You're going to pay again.

Panic

thinks of India.

And as you're doing

your dirty pavement now.

Charlie, please listen.

He didn't understand the Duke.

He's got your clothes on.

I Thought

it was an excellent

Mr. Hill.

Told you about Mr.. He.

Mr. Hill,

What kind of a.

World is it to have to sh**t each other
on side to strangers

that haven't got a thing
against each other?

Well, terrible world sometimes, Duke.

It's the only one. There is

more.

Whether you better get your jacket.

I haven't got one.

I told Charlie I could keep it
no matter what.

But this world of

maybe someday it'll change

when I.
