Thank you. Are you just right pleased, miss carter . Im just right pleased, dickie. And very touched. I sure never let on, did i . I been near bustin to tell you bursting. Yesm. But i never let on, did i . Mm, youre the best secret keeper i know. I. I do appreciate the thought. Thank you. We just wanted to give you a little sendoff, maam. Thats enough of that palaver. Now, charlie and bill, get that box over here. Put the top on to set things on. Come on, get the things over here now. I dont know what to say. You really shouldnt give me all these things. Well, thats a fool thing to say. Didnt your proper boston upbringing allow you gracious receiving . This was all your idea, wasnt it . Oh, no, it wasnt. Now, ive buried two husbands and living with a third, and im not liable to well over just because somebodys going to have their first, at your age. Jonathan and me want you to have it. No, please, hazel. Now, we talked it over. Why, the way youve been with dickie, helping him and lending him all your books, well just never forget that never. We just want you to be so happy, thats all. Id like to be as happy as you are with jonathan and dickie and the new one. Oh, i hope you feel a sight better than i do. I declare i do. You take care of yourself, now. Oh, its cold as sin here on the plains in the winter. Why, mrs. Anderson, its perfectly beautiful. But the hours you must have spent ive got lots more hours than i have money, and thats a fact. How can i thank you . Well, just by saying it out plain. Thank you. Youre welcome. Welcome as can be. You know that. Just see that this is a good marriage. I am making a good marriage. I know that. Hing not about living, you dont. But youre good and kind and youve waited a long time for a man. Now, i just hope hes right for you. Youre forgetting ive had lots of proposals, and, well, i just never found anybody i wanted to marry until bert i told you that. Yes, you told me that. Ill treasure this, you know. Just remember, well, i hope he has a very elegant house in branton city. Oh, im sure he has. If youre ready to leave, major gave me leave to drive you down. Oh, how nice. We can go on with our argument. Discussion. Yes, maam. Ill just put these things in the wagon, and i want to find mr. Webb and say goodbye to him. Hes over there by that clump of trees. Why dont you say goodbye to him and ill put these things in the wagon. All right. I wont be long. Vivian. Oh, mrs. Carson. Rodney and i want you to know we plan to send your wedding gift from san francisco. Thats awfully nice of you, but theres not that you need anything, mind you, but rodney and i want you to have something special, not just something that we happen to have around. I like anything my friends give me. Well, we just wanted you to know what we planned. Thats awfully nice of you. Came to say goodbye. Know how i couldve managed all these months without you. Goodbye, mr. Webb. I thought we were friends. Arent you going to say goodbye . Anything . Goodbye is too little to say. Anything else would be too much. I hope you find wonderful ranch land and lots of happiness. I dont want you to go. For the love of heaven, vivian. Were past playing games at our age. Youve been around long enough to know when a mans in love with you. No, i. I didnt know. Truly, i had no idea in this world. Oh, christopher. I guess you didnt know. Thank you. I am honored. I didnt realize. You should know. At your age, you should know. Wait a bit. Youve waited this long. Maybe you should wait a bit longer. Are you telling me i dont know my own mind . At my age . I know about loneliness, vian. Sometimes it destroys good judgment. You get to thinking that maybe being with anyone is all right, just so long as youre not alone anymore. Im not marrying bert out of loneliness. You mustnt say that. Now, you wanted me to talk. Vivian, when my wife died, i needed someone so, man that smiled at me. But i had three kids to raise. Well, theyre raised now, and theyre on their own. Im gonna find that ranch and a good woman to live on it with me, someone to talk to, share with, to grow old with me and blot out the loneliness. I hope you do, christopher, and thank you for thinking it might be me. Why shouldnt it be you . Youve had your one love. Now you want a companion. But i want love, romance and excitement. Theres only one love in everyones life, and ive found it with bert. You dont believe that. You cant go on looking for the same things you did when you were a girl. You must know that love can happen more than once. Oh, christopher, how awful if you believe that. I shouldve just said goodbye. Pa says i should return your books, miss carter and say thank you. You tell your father i want you to keep them. I sure am obliged, maam. Im gonna miss you very much, dickie. Yesm. Me too, miss carter. If you want to get to branton city before sunset, wed better get started. all shouting goodbyes remember what i told you, now. Bye. Goodbye. Hey youre gonna strain your eyes. I dont really have to see the words. I think i know all of mr. Browning. Do you like him . Never met him. You dont really care much about books, do you . I used to read a lot when i was a boy. I dont have much time anymore. Besides, i like people better, thats all. You can learn more about people from people. Which brings us back to our old argument. Discussion. All right. Discussion. Your mr. Browning, did he write about people mrs. Anderson or dickie or most of the folks youd meet on the wagon train . No, not exactly, but as wonderful as they are, theyre not the only people in the world, you know. Theyre the only people youve ever really known, arent they . Why, of course not. What a ridiculous thing to say. Theyre the only people youve ever really come to know. Isnt that a fact . No, that is not a fact. Whatd you think i was doing all those years in boston . Taking care of your father and reading books and not living a life of your own. Staying to care for my father after my mother died when he needed me so desperately was certainly leading my own life. And it was what i wanted to do. You mean, thats what he wanted you to do. Most women want a man and a family of their own. Se. Your father was a bigtime gambler. There mustve been lots of people that would take care of him. And if youll excuse my saying it, if he was as handsome and as dashing as you say, he mustve known lots of women too. He couldve gotten married again. He never wouldve married that kind of woman. He made his money gambling, but he never he never let either my mother or myself come in contact with that kind of life. He needed culture and refinement. In a way, i guess he was ashamed of his lack of education. Even the fact that my mother was fragile and her family despised him i guess was kind of a challenge to him. Its hard to explain that kind of man. In many ways, he was very tortured. Hmm. But he was the most handsome and truly romantic and dashing man id ever seen. Till you met bert johnson. Its very strange in many ways. Well, here we are. Would you unhitch the team and take them over to the stables . Sure. Thank you. Now, everything is gonna be all right. Youve got a bert johnson here, havent you . Thats right. Would you tell him miss Vivian Carters in the lobby . Yes, sir. If hes as dashing as you say he is, are you as beautiful as i remember you, Vivian Carter . Exactly as i remember you. Oh, darling, darling six months is too long to wait for someone you love. Oh, bert, if you only knew. Vivian oh, flint . May i introduce you . This is flint mccullough. This is bert johnson. Hi. Mr. Johnson. Flint is the scout on the wagon train and a wonderful friend. Youre a very lucky man, mr. Johnson. I know that. I know that. If youll excuse me, im sure you have a great deal to talk about. Id be honored to have you join us for dinner, mccullough. Thanks very much, but, uh, threes a crowd. My wagons out in front with everything i treasure on it, including my White Wedding dress. Your, uh. Your Wedding Dress . I know its silly, but ive always dreamed of a white gown. Well, it is ridiculous for a woman my age. Well, i guess id better go out and see that it well, of course youll wear white. Thats what all new brides wear, isnt it . And dont speak about age, darling. Well unload your wagon later. Right now youre going to have dinner and tell me about boston and all youve done since i last saw you.

I believe you now, my darling. When you first told me, i. I thought it some kind of a cruel joke. You remember my father just died, and suddenly you were there, telling me you loved me. I hardly knew you. You seemed so hurt, so alone. I needed to believe you, but at first i couldnt. But there wasnt time, vivian, to do the proper thing. I looked at you, and. I fell in love.

You said womanly. Ill never say it again, all right . Lets get some air, huh . Tomorrow morning. Well be married tomorrow morning, darling. Oh, yes. Weve waited too long already. And you wont have to be lonely anymore. Oh, congratulations come on. No very, very womanly. Love on wheels thats you, huh . Im sorry, miss carter. Come on, freda. Oh, thats all right. Thank you for your good wishes. You just startled me, thats all. Oh, listen, you came as quite a shock to me, too, honey. Come on, vivian. Its time we went in. Maybe the lady doesnt want to go. Maybe shed rather stay here and be womanly. Go right ahead, honey. Hey, why dont we all have a little drink, huh . T her out of here. She has had a few too many drinks. Thats my fault. But she is a friend of mine. In which case, shes a friend of mine too. Wed love to have a drink with you. Lets go get the lady a drink, huh . Very, very womanly. Dont be upset. She didnt mean any harm by it. . Well, i dont know how they do it in boston, but in branton city, ladies dont drink on the street. We could never hear ourselves talk over all that noise. Why dont we go over to the cafe . You get it, will you, mccullough . Mcculloughs getting the wine. Why dont you eat something, freda . No, i dont want anything to eat. Harry, bring us some wine glasses, will you . Is branton city your home . Right now it is. What little ive seen of it, it seems like a very pleasant place. Hah its a hole.

You are attractive, intelligent and womanly. Im older than flint. Im not sure i understand what you mean. Well, come on. Let me in on the joke. She thinks im jealous of you. Come on, vivian.

You mean, letting him marry her . Mmhmm. You had it planned from the beginning, didnt you . Sure. All i had to do was let him marry her. And i was willing, too, for her money. The way we talked, hed leave her after a while, and then bert and the money would come back to little freda. Too bad you didnt keep your mouth shut. She really thought she was in love with him. He was in love with her too. You mean youd have let him marry her for money but not for love . You two really deserve each other. You trying to make the comanche camp before sunset .

If we head due south, well catch the wagon train before sunset. I dont want to catch the wagon train. I will not go back to the train. Would you rather live in a tepee . There must be a settlement where i can get transportation to get me back to boston. There is. Its along the route of the wagon train. But if you try to get there alone, youll never make it alive. I cant. I cant face those people on the train. Here comes a wagon thats mccullough. Ho well, ill be. Ho, there. Ho. Youre six hours late, mccullough. Im sorry. Now that i know i can get through he country without a scout, maybe i dont need one. I presume you did bring the supplies. Nope. I delayed him, major. Oh, miss carter, i. I thought you were leaving us. To get married . Why, i thought so too, but i guess we were both wrong, major. The lady changed her mind. It happens all the time. Get back, get back, all of you. Go on, get back. E only got one more hour of daylight. Charlie wooster, come over here. Get up there and drive for her, will ya . Yes, sir. He can drive for you till suppertime, maam. I am tired. Thank you. Im real sorry, maam. You would have to open your big mouth, wouldnt you . Whatd i say wrong . Oh, whatd you say wrong . You block head. Come on me and my big mouth. Come on get out of here heres your coffee, mrs. Anderson. Im much obliged. You tell vivian to pack herself out here. Im fixing supper for her. No, maam. I aint likely to say any more to vivian than ive already said. How did she seem . Very quiet. Not a peep out of her the whole afternoon long. She was so happy. Well, who hasnt . Youve got to live each day of this life as it comes and fill it with meaning instead of highflown dreams. Yesterday, just yesterday, she was talking about how she wanted a baby right off. Well, shell get married. The last good man in the world didnt die yesterday. Im a living testimonial to that that it can still happen. No need to stand on ceremony. Im returning your wedding gifts, because theres to be no wedding. Im fixing you some supper, and you sure cant eat it with both hands full. Im trying to free them, mrs. Anderson. Please, if you. If you take them from me, id hate to just set them down here. And behave yourself. Hazel, your candlesticks are on top. Would you mind . Oh, vivian, honey. Jonathan and me give it to you. We didnt even know him. Nor did i, apparently. Hazel, please, will you take it . Please please. Ill never forget that you wanted me to have them. Please. Cant you make it easy for me . Vivian. Now you are humbling yourself, and youre humbling us, and theres no need for it. I dont want your pity. Then dont act pitiful. How dare you talk to me like that . I can talk lots worse than that. Youve got to get hold of yourself. Just look at you. Arent you ashamed, making this display and enjoying such a suffering good time . Havent you got sense enough to know that . Is she sick, mr. Webb . She dont seem herself. She sure dont look like herself. Its a little like being sick, dickie. A little. Try to comfort her, mr. Webb. That was a terrible ordeal for her those common women. No one means her harm, mrs. Carson. Theyre just not her kind, thats all. Women like that dont know what humility is. I cant help wondering just whose idea it was to call off the marriage. sobbing please. Please just leave me alone. Im ashamed i was rude, but i cant come back right now and face people. Please dont ask me to. I wont. I just came to tell you i was around if you needed someone. Thats very kind, but ive had quite enough of patient, gentle looks from patient, gentle people for a while. You want me to go . Go . No. By all means, stay. Stay and remind me that im not a girl anymore and that a woman my age shouldnt go on talking about true love. Now, dont do that, vivian. Thats what you came for, isnt it . To tell me how right you are and how wrong i am . I came to ask you to marry me. Oh. Yes, thats a very noble thing no. I just came to ask the woman i love to marry me. I guess i couldve picked a better time. A ranch someplace . A marriage to blot out your loneliness . That was your offer yesterday, wasnt it . Hows that, maam . Its fine. Just fine. Thank you both very much. What would you like us to do with this . Burn it. Or save it for the next old maid who comes to ride with you. Just roll it up, charlie. I will, but it seems awful wasteful. Dont you ever get tired of talking . Not a particle. Talking is one thing i can do without thinking. Well, maybe i can put it a little better than that. No, sir. Thats the smartest thing youve ever said. You think so . Yeah. Miss carter, were gonna be moving out soon. You want one of the boys to drive you for a while . I can ge on my own, thank you. All right. Hurry up, you two. Ill give you a hand up, maam. Come on, lets go. Well, have you missed me . Been heartsick. You been gone . women laughing only for a week. I havent seen Vivian Carter around anywhere. Youre no different from the rest of us. None of us see her. Did she leave the train . Only in a manner of speaking. She stays in her wagon mostly since she came back. Oh, im sorry to hear that. Mm. Ladies. You have a gentleman caller. Are you presentable . Perfectly. Well, how are you. Well, now, whats happened to you . Nothing. Ive never seen you look like this before. Have you been ill . Im very well, thank you. You know, just because one man turns out to be. A disappointment to you, flint, i dont wish to discuss it. Ive been fed a steady diet of pity and advice, and i dont need yours. All right. I guess all you need is mr. Browning. Good morning, christopher. Morning, vivian. Thank you very much. Christopher, i came here this morning on purpose. I came to tell you that if you still want me, ill marry you. Ill make a good wife, someone to share with and talk to and blot out the loneliness. Came to say. You didnt say you loved me. Im fond of you. Ill make a good companion. No, you wont. You said i was too old to believe in girlish things like one true love, and of course youre right. You just hear the things you want to hear, dont you, vivian . Well, you dont qualify. You dont know the first thing about making a happy marriage. Very well, christopher. If you dont want me. You think that looking your age is the answer . Making yourself all go plain and driedup . You dont want me. Thats all i need to know. No. No, i dont want you. Not this way. I wanted someone to grow old along with me. You dont know yourself. And thats a rotten shame, because somewhere once i saw something in you to love, something that. whistles shouting hup, now hup, now youre holding us up, tate. Pull out of line if you cant keep pace.
