 Gun Smoke. Transcribed earlier today from PBS. Down God City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshall and the fellow of Gun Smoke. Starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young America, the story of a man who moved with it, Matt Phillips, United State Marshall. Look up ahead there, Mr. Dillon. Somebody's gone left his wagon right out on the prairie. Oh, there's a man down in front of it. It sure looks like his team went off and left him. Now, what would he be doing out here with a busted wagon and no team? I expect you'll be glad to tell us. Come on. It's Mike Blocker. Yeah. Hello, Mike. What's the perfect for a man to be in the basement for his weapons? I'm a little keep me sober, Marshall, and I still do appreciate that, even if I don't make dodge tonight. What happened, Mike? Where is he? Oh, it's just that we hit a hole back there in the whiffle tree, busted in that tree. They just run off like they were glad to get shot at the old bang. That must have been quite a hold you had to do this. No, not much. Look here, Marshall. Now, the bar's been sawed, half and two. Sure. It's them boys again. What boys? Them two crazy cowboys I hired on last fall. Plumber and Webb, didn't they? Yeah. They've been following me a lot lately. You mean this is just a joke? That's what they figured, I guess. Well, it ain't much of a joke when you're a man stranded on the ferry this way, especially when he's trying to get to town to be married. Now, this ain't so bad. Yes, yes. They cut the stage on my saddle. But being a bronc got loose and bucked it off before I could get mounted. I wish I were as even temperate as you are, Mike. Oh, Marshall, it's just... They don't pay to get mad. No, it seems to me Plumber and Webb are going a little far with their jokes. Don't they want you to get married? I don't know. I never asked you. Now, where are they now? Oh, they rode into town this morning. Now, they see me at the wedding. I have to bring the wagon so that I can carry Matilda back to the rest. Well, we'll find your team for you. Maybe we can rig up a whipple tree of some sort. Get them by a new one and talk. Oh, I'd be beholden to you, Marshall. Now, you'll get to town in time for a drink yet. We'll ride along with you and see what you do, Mike. No, sir, if you don't mind, Mr. Dillon, I think I'll go on down to Depot to sign a piece about new ones. I'd like to walk you, come in. Oh, yeah. Well, I'll leave you here. So, do you thank you for all the things? Well, uh, I didn't say that I was buying. You'd have had to. I'm broke. Might as well be mighty careful of what he says around you. I'll see you later. Okay, sir. He's the only lady in this town. Oh, is my friend? He's your best friend. Oh, nice. He insisted I do. Pretty close, man. I guess it's partly because he can talk to me about things you wouldn't even dare mention to a nice friend. Now, they're no better than you are, kiddie. Maybe not. But there are more of them in the long run. That makes a difference. What do you want to know about my children and me? Well, I've been wondering if there's any reason why either of those cowboys who work for Mike Blocker wouldn't want that wedding to come off tomorrow. Plumber and wet? Yeah, yeah, that's right. You must have some reason for wondering about it, man. Well, man's friends always treat him a little rough before he gets married, but these boys have carried it pretty far. Is jealous in that? No. Which one? Plumber. He and McKillie used to see each other once in a while. He'll see that Mike and fell in love with him. Yeah. As a plumber, a threatened her, or Mike. He's afraid of Mike in spite of his general temper. He should be. But he told McKillie he'd make as much trouble as he could. What kind of trouble? Anything that'll embarrass her, I guess. Like a chivalry. But real and friendly. Now, they started their chivalry a little early. They even tried to get Mike crippled up a couple of days ago. Oh, I didn't know about that. Well, enough of that came of it. Now, I sure don't like to see anybody's wedding days boil. I think I'll look those two up and have a talk with them. Well, you know, you just told me in jail till the wedding's over. I'd like to. It's him, all right. I saw Mike over at the Longhorn taking on a fuse. Oh, I'll even marry and a good woman makes a man nervous. Oh, it sure does. But just the thought of it and I want to go live with the command team. Well, you can't let other men do all the marrying. Why not? They say. When you come all the way, if you want to be talking to Mike Blocker, he's the one that's getting married. We ain't are we, Webb? No, we ain't. Did you think we were? All right, that's enough. You're not dealing with Mike Blocker. Now, you're dealing with me and my temper's a whole lot quicker than his. No offense, Marshall. Webb didn't mean nothing. No, I didn't mean nothing. We're just kind of good friends. Mike's out of the wedding and all. My silly, you know. We're trying to get a man hurt two days before his wedding. How? Cutting his syndrome is subtle. Mike told you he didn't mind as much as you do, Marshall. Don't be fooled by that. If Mike ever does get mad, there's going to be trouble. He'll leave him alone. Oh, we ain't going to do nothing. Maybe a little chivalry after the wedding. That's all right. I don't want either one of you anywhere near that wedding. Come on, now, Marshall, we was invited. The invitation's off. You understand me? Oh, the Marshall. Shut up, Webb. He's the law, if you say so. I said we won't go nowhere. That satisfy you, Marshall? Don't forget, Pat. You can see all the lovely new clothes he's had. He's been saving for years. Yeah, I know. Mike told me. He's a real fraud. You're going to wait around to see him off, aren't you? Yeah, we'll be there. I couldn't get Chester away from that free liquor anyway. This liquor may be free but it ain't to self. I'm on my third class and I don't feel a thing. You don't have enough blood in you to move it around. Yes, that's your trouble. Well, I'd have plenty of blood if it wasn't for old class, like you bring me every time I get a cold. I never bled a man in my life, and you know it. Well, maybe you didn't, but I sure have been bled by other doctors. Don't blame me. You're full enough to let them do it. You know, man, I've always said that people would just hand up to their doctors once in a while other than improve the whole medical profession. Well, you may be right, Doc. Of course I might. I'm gonna go see if that drug is empty. Yeah, I think Mike's drunk half of it himself. Uh, take a look around outside while you're at it, huh, Justin? For permanent weapons? Oh, they haven't shot up yet, but they might be waiting. All right, sir, I'll do it. Oh, it's a nice wedding. Wasn't it, Mike? Yeah, fine, fine. I brought some ammonia on in case Mike got too weak to go through it. His entrance was a little shaky, but he got his color back about the halfway mark. Matt! What? Oh, what's the matter, Kitty? Matt, terrible, that poor girl. What's happened? It's her clothes. All her new clothes. Matt, we went to a room to get a pass and everything sent home. The clothes, it's a mess. I mean, Matilda's up there crying her heart out. Not plumber, I suppose. Of course, you get it. Who else was? Girl. Oh, you better go back to her, Kitty. And, uh, don't tell anybody about it yet. All right, man. What are you going to do, man? Find Plumber and Webb and lock him up. Mike's pretty drunk, and I got an idea. He won't take this joke as easy as he did the other day. Wouldn't stop here to see if anybody else's in here. Just them and then Mike can nickel the knife on Mike. He was going to use it, too. Was it, Mike? I got hit about then, Marshall. I didn't see no more. He did something about Webb there. Look what they done to my place. It's ruined. Who's going to pay for all this? I don't know, Joe, but I'll try to find out. But shortly after, they break lead. Well, Kitty was there when Mr. Billings stayed with Matilda all night. Oh, good. How's Matilda taking it? Well, I don't think she cares about her clothes anymore. She's worried about Mike. No, sir, I wouldn't do that. He'll find out soon enough, poor thing. Well, nobody has, I know. They've done to Matilda. You did remember about it all. Kitty, you, then I'm going to be gone to Texas. You shoot me, and I have to, you might. And you won't look very good when Matilda sees you. Your friends want Mike. Real good friends. It was like while I'm cutting your throat. Get out of that cell now. A few minutes ago, he'd been down looking at Webb. But if you hit him, where is something like that?
