They just moved out of the O.K. Corral down by Fly's.
Looks like Ike and Billy Clanton...
the McLaurys, Billy Claiborne. Maybe more.
Let's go.
Morgan, take care of Mama for me
Keep your little brother out of trouble
Warren, I won't be seeing you for a while
Where you headed Wyatt?
Nowheres
- I thought you went to Logan. - I changed my mind
Where you going, son?
To town. I'm going to enlist, Pa.
I want to fight the Rebs with James and Virg
- I'm ready. - Are you?
You think you ma's ready? I don't think she is.
Why'd you wait till I left to take off, Wyatt...
if you think it's the right thing?
Virgil and James should be coming on home any day soon now.
Until they do, you know your job.
What was that? I didn't hear you.
Eighty acres of corn.
You take on a job, you finish it.
Any man who can't be depended on steady isn't worth the trouble of having around.
What makes you think they're coming home soon, Pa?
This war can't last forever.
Besides, it's what I want to happen.
You know I got to whup you a bit.
Come on, Johnny Reb.
Virgil?
Look who got long and tall.
We didn't know you was coming. Why didn't you send word?
We didn't know ourselves, so then we thought we'd just come on.
Is James coming, too?
James is right here with me, Wyatt.
Don't shoot me now, you hear?
James.
- James, welcome home. - Give us a hand here.
Thank you, Lord.
Your mother thinks there's something wrong with me.
She says there's something in my blood that won't allow me to stay put.
She may be right.
If she's lucky, I haven't passed it on to you.
We'll see.
But for this family, the time has come to move on again.
To the west of here is a vast expanse of untamed territory...
full of wild Indians and countless dangers.
But beyond that wilderness lies a land with great promise...
where civilization has flourished for hundreds of years.
We'll go to California and see what we can make of that place.
But why, Pa?
There are opportunities for lawyers...
and rich land available for people who know how to work.
In California, Wyatt will study the law and perhaps come to work with me.
Maybe Morgan and Warren will join our firm.
I've already told Pa that I'm not going. I wanna see what's available to me here.
- I don't want to go, either. - Martha's in love with Jimmy Jorgenson.
Good for you, Martha. He's a standup boy.
His family knows what it means to put down roots.
Martha, if you don't want to go, that's your decision.
James has said he will join us, which suits me fine.
The closer you keep your family, the better.
They're the only ones you can rely on. Remember this, all of you.
Nothing counts so much as blood.
The rest are just strangers.
Nicholas, I think you've already told them that.
A hundred times.
- You can't hear it enough. - I heard it a thousand times.
I heard you, Pa. Blood counts the most.
I just want you to get these things and get back.
Don't talk to anyone you don't have business with.
- Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him. - That doesn't comfort me, Tom Chapman.
Both of you use your heads.
- Don't linger. - Don't worry, Ma. We won't shame you.
Giddap.
See you later. Nice pitchfork.
- I like this town, Wyatt. - Why don't you give up?
Excuse me.
I am not going in there. Take a look, though.
Come on! Go ahead!
Stand back!
I'll settle this right now!
How you doing, Wyatt?
I'm okay, Pa.
You know, this land is full of people doing wicked things to each other.
I ain't afraid. I like it out here.
I like how nothing much has been touched.
I got to tell you something, Wyatt.
I told your brothers when they went off to fight...
and I suppose the time's come for you.
You know I'm a man that believes in the law.
After your family, it's about the only thing you got to believe in.
But there are plenty of men who don't care about the law.
Men who'll take part in all kinds of viciousness and don't care who gets hurt.
In fact, the more they get hurt, the better.
When you find yourself in a fight with such viciousness...
hit first if you can.
And when you do hit, hit to kill.
You'll know. Don't worry.
You'll know when it comes to that.
The Earps always know.
Damn it, Wyatt, move this wagon! They're catching up!
- This is all we got, Dutch! - Whip those nags!
Giddap! Come on!
Hold on, Dutch!
- They're on us! - Shoot the horse.
- What? - Shoot the lead horse!
You can hit a horse, can't you?
Come on, boys.
That horse never done nothing to me.
You should be riding shotgun. I've seen you shoot.
'Course, I can't handle a team like you.
Hell, we made it. That's the thing.
You ever shoot a man, Dutch?
Sure. I shot a few. How do you think I got this job?
How about yourself?
No.
Hope I never do, either.
Good luck.
If it ain't the sore-ass boys back for another Fourth of July.
Hey, Red!
I hope you brought sugar in this load. I ain't had no real sugar for a month.
What's happening in this hellhole, Red?
You got any new ladies up to my standards?
I believe that there is a new one just right for you, Dutch.
She can stay awake two minutes at a time and she favors them teeny little wangers.
Look who's talking.
Prize fight Sunday morning, Wyatt. You gonna referee?
I don't know. Last time, some of the boys didn't like the decision.
Sore losers. Hell with them. See you later.
Fight!
Get him, Shanssey!
Keep your guard up, Shanssey.
That's it. Take him down!
Keep your hands off!
One. Two.
- Get up! - Three.
- You're hurt, Mr. Shanssey. - No, I'm just getting started.
- It's not worth it. - Let me fight him.
- Are you sure? - Aye.
Fight.
Enough.
It's over!
God bless you, boy.
Kid.
You don't know a boxing ring from a mule's asshole...
and you twice cost me money.
Sorry you didn't like the decision.
Stay out. It's not your fight.
Come on, Wyatt.
- This is the damnedest game I ever saw. - You can't get a spot now anyway.
So why don't you just come on up with me for a while?
I don't know if that would be the right thing to do, Sally.
See, I promised my heart to another.
- Which girl? I'll fight her for you. - It's no one here.
She's back in Lamar, Missouri, where my grandparents live.
Missouri? Wyatt, she ain't gonna help you tonight.
I saw her three times back in '63.
The third time she smiled at me just right.
I guarantee you she don't know what I know.
I'll bet you're right about that, unless things have changed in Lamar.
Your boy Dutch is drunk and he's telling everybody how you're gonna take Ed Ross.
Damn!
Who's Ed Ross?
He's the guy who decked you at the fight this morning.
I'd get a hold of Dutch before he starts some real trouble for you, all right?
- Thanks, Red. - Sure.
I know Ed Ross. He's bad business.
I'd better find Dutch.
- Gentlemen, that's it for me. - You don't have to leave yet.
- You done? - All yours.
How do you play this game, fellas?
Simple, friend. Bet on the number you think is the winner.
If you're betting for it to lose, tap her with a penny on top.
All bets on the spread. Comes the turn.
The loser: Jack.
The winner is ace.
- I had a feeling this was a game for me. - You're a winner, sir.
Can we have a better time than this upstairs?
At least upstairs I'd be making some money.
Wyatt Earp!
That's my name.
That don't mean shit to me or anybody else in this world.
And it never will after this night.
- Ed, this boy isn't worth your trouble. - Shut up, Sally.
Earp, I hear you was looking for me to make a fight.
- So I thought I'd be easy to find. - You heard wrong, mister.
Only thing that's happened between us is I got popped good.
- I don't want to make a fight. - Stop talking.
Okay.
This man wanted to shoot me down...
over nothing!
He lost.
I'm taking his gun.
Boom.
- Yes? - Hello, Mrs. Sutherland.
I don't expect you'll remember me...
I know perfectly well who you are, young man.
Your grandmother told me you were coming back to Lamar.
Yes, ma'am. I'm reading the law with Judge Earp.
Are those flowers for me?
- Lf you'd like them, then, yes, they are. - No, thanks.
Let me see if Urilla is around.
She might take them.
Hello, Wyatt.
Hello, Urilla.
I brought you these.
Thank you.
I was glad to hear you were coming back to town.
- You were? - Yes, I was.
What's wrong?
Wrong? Nothing. It's...
What is it, Wyatt?
I wasn't prepared for how beautiful you are.
Did you learn to talk that way out west?
So you've come to Lamar to study with your grandfather?
Yes.
And to marry you.
- Do you think it's as simple as that? - No.
I know it will take a great effort to win you.
I know many men have tried.
They failed because you were meant for me.
But I'll succeed. I'll begin today.
Is that your hat?
When do you expect to begin your practice, Wyatt?
It may be a while yet, sir.
The judge says he's never seen anybody make slower progress.
That's 'cause the law is so damn boring.
Erwin, not everyone has the aptitude to be a blacksmith.
I don't know.
I think I could teach Wyatt here a thing or two...
- if he was willing to work at it. - I appreciate that, but I've found a job.
I thought I should make a living while I continue my studies.
What is it, Wyatt? What's the job?
With the city police.
I'm to be a constable.
I figure a man who's about to propose marriage better have a livelihood.
When do you expect this proposal to happen...
so we can all join in the crying?
Daddy, Wyatt's proposed to me every day since he's been back in town.
...be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?
I do.
May we have the ring, please?
Place the ring on the ring finger of her left hand...
and repeat after me:
- Urilla. - "Urilla. "
With this ring, I thee wed.
"With this ring, I thee wed. "
By the virtue of the authority vested in me as a judge of the State of Missouri Court...
I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Urilla, if it doesn't work out, you know where to find me.
Wyatt, you give it your best shot. You can do it.
Make us proud, Wyatt.
You've never seen such open space, Urilla.
You can ride all day toward some mountain and never even get close.
There's practically nobody there.
The few people that are...
they just make up whatever kind of life they want.
What if you don't ever go back?
That's all right. I seen it.
I don't want to be the reason that you're not happy.
I could be happy anywhere with you.
I don't care what job I have or where I live.
What I care about is being with you.
I thought this was only supposed to happen in the morning.
Please, Wyatt, let's not talk about it!
Can't you let me be?
You can't go in.
- I want to see my girl. - Esther, I can't allow it.
Has something gone wrong with the pregnancy?
This has nothing to do with that.
It's typhoid.
I'm going to have to quarantine the house.
I can't let you go in, Esther. It wouldn't be fair to the town.
