[ALL SHOUTING AT ONCE]
THIS PLACE COULD SURE USE A WOMAN.
I GOT MOLLY.
YEAH.
COURSE, SHE CAN'T COOK WORTH A DAMN,
AND A DEVIL OF A BIT OF TALENT
SHE'S GOT FOR HOUSEKEEPING, AS YOU CAN SEE,
BUT SHE DOES HER SHARE.
DOES MOST OF THE HUNTING AND FISHING.
AIN'T IT TIME SOMEBODY TOLD
THAT MOTHERLESS LASS SHE'S A GIRL?
SHE HUNTS AND FISHES,
WHISTLES LIKE A CALLIOPE,
AND MY BOYS HERE TELL ME
SHE SWEARS LIKE A BARGEMAN.
BEEN DOING THAT SINCE SHE WAS 3.
SHE'S REACHED THE AGE
FOR GETTING INTO TROUBLE.
ABOUT TIME TO MARRY HER OFF, SHAMUS.
MARRY? WHO'D MARRY MOLLY?
WELL...
THERE MUST BE SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T KNOW HER.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THAT JOHNSON BOY
WHO WAS HANGING AROUND HERE?
HE TRIED TO SHOW HER HIS PA'S HAYLOFT.
SHE TIED A CAN TO HIS TAIL
AND SENT HIM RATTLING DOWN THE ROAD.
HA HA! THAT'S BEEN THE ONLY ONE.
THERE'S YOUR BOYS.
MOLLY?
HA HA HA!
MOLLY!
MOLLY! HA HA!
MOLLY! I LOVE YOU, BABY!
HA HA HA!
YOU LEAVING HOME, MOLLY?
IT'S TIME, PA.
I'VE THOUGHT IT THROUGH.
THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME HERE.
HERE YOU'RE JUST...
BORN, AND YOU...
LIVE, AND YOU...DIE.
WHAT MORE IS THERE, MOLLY, GIRL?
SOMEWHERE THERE'S JUST GOT TO BE
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
MORE THAN WHAT THERE IS HERE.
I'M GOING TO MARRY ME A RICH MAN LIKE KATIE SPINNER DID.
BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE LOVE OF MONEY, MOLLY, GIRL.
IT AIN'T THE MONEY I LOVE, PA.
IT'S THE NOT HAVING IT I HATE.
I'M GONNA SOMEHOW GET ME TO DENVER.
I'LL FIND ME A MAN WITH MEANS ENOUGH
TO PUT A REAL ROOF OVER OUR HEADS--
A ROOF THAT DON'T LEAK RAIN AND COLD.
I'M LEAVING AT SUNUP, PA.
I'LL MISS YOU, MOLLY.
I'LL MISS YOU, TOO, PA.
IT'S TIME I THANKED YOU
FOR PULLING ME OUT OF THE FLOOD
AND RAISING ME LIKE YOUR OWN.
I GUESS I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT RAISING A GIRL.
MAYBE I DONE IT WRONG.
YOU DONE FINE.
NOBODY COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.
I'LL SEND FOR YOU, PA. I PROMISE THAT.
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR OWN ROOM
WHERE YOU CAN STAY IN BED ALL DAY
WITH A JUG OF THE BEST LIQUOR.
I DO THAT NOW.
LET ME GIVE YOU A WORD OF ADVICE, MOLLY, GIRL.
LEARN TO SERVE GOD
AND A HOT BREAKFAST,
AND IN YOUR SEARCH FOR THAT ROOF
THAT DON'T LEAK RAIN,
BEWARE OF MEN THAT OFFER YOU A ROOF
AND FORGET TO MENTION MARRIAGE.
FIND YOURSELF A GOOD MAN--
A GOOD IRISH CATHOLIC--
AND SETTLE DOWN.
THE MAN I MARRY'S GOT TO BE MORE
THAN JUST IRISH CATHOLIC.
WHAT MORE CAN A MAN BE?
WELL, IF HE'S GOING TO CRAWL IN NEXT TO ME,
HE'LL HAVE TO BE THE RICHEST IRISH CATHOLIC
NEXT TO THE POPE!

OH, YES. UH...
I WOULDN'T WANT TO LOSE
THEM PICTURE POST CARDS OF DENVER.
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE USE OF THEM
IF YOU CAN'T READ THEM.
BUT I'LL LEARN TO READ.
WHO'S GOING TO TEACH YOU?
YOU.
Molly: "THE CAT SEES THE RAT.
"THE RAT SEES THE CAT.
"THE CAT RUNS AF...TER THE RAT.
"THIS IS MY HAT.
IT IS A RED HAT."
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RAT?
THE CAT ATE IT.
OH.
HUH?
"THE LITTLE GIRL'S NAME IS MARY.
"THE LITTLE BOY'S NAME IS TOM.
"THIS IS THE BARN.
"MARY AND TOM ARE IN THE HAYLOFT.
"THIS IS MARY'S MOTHER.

HMM, SHE BETTER STOP BAKING
AND GO TAKE A LOOK IN THE BARN.
[CHOKES]
"MY NAME IS MOLLY TOBIN.
MY TEACHER IS JOHNNY BROWN."
REAL NICE.
OH, THANK YOU.
GUESS YOU'LL BE LEAVING REAL SOON.
I HEAR THE MONEY'S ROLLING IN.
I'LL HAVE TO BUY SOME NEW CLOTHES.
I'VE GOT $50. IT AIN'T ENOUGH.
WHAT WOULD BE ENOUGH, MOLLY?
ENOUGH SO ME AND MY PA
COULD HAVE A ROOF OVER OUR HEADS
THAT DON'T LEAK RAIN AND COLD.
GO ON, CHICK-A-PEN. I GOT TO KNOW.
ENOUGH SO I COULD HAVE A STOVE FOR HEATING
AND A STOVE FOR COOKING,
ENOUGH SO I COULD HAVE MY OWN BRASS BED,
ENOUGH SO I COULD HAVE SAUCERS
THAT MATCH THE CUPS,
ENOUGH SO MY PA COULD STAY IN BED ALL DAY
WITH A JUG,
AND ENOUGH SO FOLKS WOULD CALL ME A LADY.
THAT WILL TAKE A LOT MORE THAN $50.
THAT'S WHY I GOT TO FIND ME A MINER
WITH A RICH CLAIM.
I GOT A CLAIM--
SIDE OF HIPPO MOUNTAIN.
PLENTY OF SILVER IN IT.
HOO!
A GENTLEMAN FROM NEW YORK
HAS BEEN TRYING TO BUY IT.
I AIN'T GOT MUCH USE FOR MONEY.
I DO ALL RIGHT.
WHEN THE HIPPO MOUNTAIN CLAIM RUNS OUT,
I'LL FIND ME ANOTHER.
FIND YOU ANOTHER? JUST LIKE THAT?
SURE. IT'S EASY.
I GOT A TALENT FOR IT.
GOLD AND SILVER,
THEY JUST HOLLER OUT TO ME.
WELL, HELLFIRE! WHY DON'T YOU LISTEN?
I TAKE ALL I NEED OUT OF IT,
AND I GOT MY OTHER PIECE OF LAND
WITH A CABIN ON IT.
IT'S REAL PRETTY LAND
WITH A STREAM AND ALL.
REMEMBER?
BUT IT NEEDS A WOMAN.
HMM.
GET YOURSELF ONE.
A GAL COULD BE HAPPY THERE, MOLLY.
WHY WON'T YOU SETTLE FOR HAPPINESS?
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO TO YOU %%
%% WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO %%
%% IF YOU ASK ME TO WAIT FOR A LIFETIME %%
%% YOU KNOW I'LL GLADLY WAIT %%

%% I'LL STAY, OR I'LL GO %%
%% BUT I'LL NEVER SAY NO %%
I'D NEVER EVEN THINK TWICE.
I'D NEVER EVEN BLINK TWICE.
ASK ME. ASK ME ANYTHING YOU WANT!
I WANT A HOUSE
WITH A LOOKING-OUT WINDOW OVER THE VALLEY.
ONE LOOKING-OUT WINDOW FOR THE LADY!
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO TO YOU %%
I WANT A RED SILK DRESS.
YES.
I WANT TO SEE DENVER. I WANT A BRASS BED.
YES!
GO JUMP IN THE LAKE.
YES!
NO, JOHNNY!
HA HA!
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO %%
%% NEVER SAY NO %%
NO. NO!
YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME, JOHNNY BROWN.
YOU'VE GOT A DANGER SIGN ON YOU
BIG AS A HOUSE.
I SWORE I'D GET ME
A RICH HUSBAND IN DENVER.
A RICH HUSBAND, LOVE OR NO LOVE?
THAT'S RIGHT!
I LEFT HOME
TO GET AWAY FROM THE SCRAWNY LIFE.
THE ONLY WAY IS TO MARRY THE RIGHT MAN.
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I AIN'T THE RIGHT MAN?
BECAUSE YOU DON'T CARE--
YOU AND THAT MINE YOU DON'T WORK.
SO JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME,
JOHNNY BROWN,
BECAUSE...BECAUSE...
BECAUSE I CAN'T LIE.
I...I...I DO HAVE A FEELING FOR YOU.
%% I'LL SMILE %%
%% IF YOU SAY, "BE GLAD" %%
%% I'LL WEEP %%

MY, THE WAY YOU'RE PRETTIED UP,
YOU'D THINK WE WAS GOING TO CHURCH
INSTEAD OF SHOWING ME A MINE.
DIDN'T SAY I WAS SHOWING YOU A MINE.
YOU SAID YOU'D SHOW ME
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
THAT'S RIGHT. HUP!
JOHNNY BROWN, I KNOW THIS PLACE.
YOU'RE TAKING ME
TO THAT LITTLE OLD CABIN OF YOURS.
YOU KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
HOLD YOUR BRITCHES, MISSY.
I AIN'T TAKING YOU TO MY LITTLE OLD CABIN.
IT'S MY BIG, NEW CABIN.
OH, JOHNNY.
WELL...
DIP ME AND FRY ME.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE WHAT I GOT TO SHOW YOU.
THIS HERE'S THE PORCH--
2 ROCKERS FOR SETTING OUT

Molly: HOW NICE.
THIS HERE'S THE MAIN ROOM.
I GOT A STOVE FOR HEATING.
NOW, AND A STOVE FOR COOKING.
AND CUPS WITH SAUCERS THAT MATCH.
OH.
OH, YOU SURE DO REMEMBER THINGS,
JOHNNY BROWN.
THINGS YOU SAY, CHICK-A-PEN.
COME ON. COME ON.
THERE'S A ROOM FOR YOUR PA.
YOU BUILT A ROOM FOR PA--
AND A JUG ON THE TABLE
JUST WAITING FOR HIM.
COME ON.
OH!
OH.
OH...WHY, YOU GOT YOURSELF A BED.
I'LL SAY THAT FOR YOU, JOHNNY BROWN.
DO YOU LIKE IT, MOLLY?
OH.
OH, I...
IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING
I EVER SEEN.
OH!
UM, LOOKY HERE.
NOW YOU CAN DO YOUR BATHING
INSIDE THE HOUSE.
GOLLY. AIN'T THAT SOMETHING?
OH, IT SURE IS PERTY.
OH...OH...
THAT BED.
OH...OH...
IT'S SO SOFT...
BUT REAL STRONG.
IT COME ALL THE WAY FROM DENVER.
YOU DONE ALL THIS FOR ME.
NOBODY NEVER DONE NOTHING SPECIAL
FOR ME BEFORE-- JUST FOR ME--
IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
WE'RE GETTING... MARRIED TODAY.
IT'S AGAINST ALL THE THINGS
I EVER DREAMED OF.
BUT IT WOULD BE AGAINST NATURE
FOR ME TO SAY NO.
BESIDES, I SURE COULDN'T STAND
ANYBODY ELSE SLEEPING
IN THAT BEAUTIFUL BRASS BED
WITH THE STARS SHINING--

READY FOR WHAT?

SOMETHING WRONG, MRS. BROWN?
A PAPER RING AND NO WEDDING DRESS,
AND YOU'RE SOZZLED.
SO WAS EVERYBODY. IT WAS A FINE WEDDING.
NOT FOR ME.
NOT FOR ME!
OH, WHAT HAVE I GONE AND DONE?
I'VE GONE AND MARRIED ME
A DRUNKEN, GOOD-FOR-NOTHING MINER
WHO DON'T EVEN WORK HIS MINE.
AND WHAT'S THE USE OF CUPS AND SAUCERS
IF YOU DON'T CARE?
I LET MYSELF BE BAMBOOZLED
BY A BRASS BED AND A COOKING STOVE
AND A ROOM FOR PA
AND A LOT OF FINE TALK
AND MY HEART THAT WENT WA-BOOM
WHEN YOU TOUCHED ME.
[MOLLY CRYING]

OH, I CAN GUESS.

OH...WHOA...WHOA!
$300,000.

TOOK ME A WHILE TO GET THE CASH.
NOW I'M BACK HOME.
YOU AIN'T MAD AT ME, ARE YOU?
OH! OH, JOHNNY.
I THOUGHT YOU WAS MAD AT ME
FOR CARRYING ON SO AFTER THE WEDDING.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME.
OH, CHICK-A-PEN!

YOUR--YOUR HAIR'S REAL WET.
I WAS SHAKING WITH THE COLD.
YEAH.
I--I'M FINE NOW.
MY BACKSIDE'S HOT AS A GRIDDLE.
I WAS WARMING IT BY THE FIRE.
FIRE.
FIRE? WHAT FIRE?
THE STOVE.
NO! NO! NO!
WHAT?

MOLLY, GIRL, WHAT IS IT?
THE MONEY! THE MONEY!
WHAT'S THE MATTER? YOU GONE CRAZY?
I HID THE MONEY IN THE STOVE.
OW! OOH!

UH! UH! UH! UH!
UH! OH! OH!
MOLLY, GIRL, YOU'LL BURN YOURSELF!

MOLLY!
IT'S TOO LATE, MOLLY!
MY RING'S ON FIRE!
IT'S ASHES!
OH, THE MONEY AND MY RING! EVERYTHING'S GONE!
AAH!
WAIT A MINUTE!
NO! NO...
WAIT-- LISTEN...
NO, LOOK!
NO! NO...

IT'S ONLY MONEY. I CAN GET US MORE.
LISTEN TO ME--
NO! NO...
DARLING? DARLING!
NO! NO! UH...
DARLING?
YOU AIN'T GONNA WALLOP ME?
WHAT FOR? IT'S ME WHO LIT THE FIRE.
YOU AIN'T M-MAD AT ME?
OF COURSE NOT!
WHAT WAS YOU CHASING ME
AROUND THE ROOM FOR?
BECAUSE YOU WAS RUNNING.
I THOUGHT YOU WAS OUT OF YOUR SKULL.
WHAT WAS YOU RUNNING FOR?
WELL, I--
I WAS JUST...SCARED,
THAT'S ALL.
WHAT?
I WAS JUST...SCARED.
OF ME?
WELL, I... I THOUGHT...
I THOUGHT YOU WAS GOING TO...
WALLOP ME.
I WILL WALLOP YOU
IF YOU DON'T COME ON BACK TO BED!
OH, JOHNNY!
OH, NOW, NOW, COME ON.
YOU DON'T WANT TO KEEP
THAT SOBBING UP ALL NIGHT.
SHH...
I, UM, I, UM...
I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO STOP.
I DON'T WANT YOU
CRYING OVER THE MONEY.
I AIN'T.
IT'S YOU BEING SO FORGIVING THAT--
[CRYING]
NOW WE'LL NEVER
GET TO DENVER!
[CRYING]
IF YOU'RE GOING TO KEEP UP
THAT WEEPING AND WAILING,
I MIGHT AS WELL GO OUT RIGHT NOW
AND FIND ME ANOTHER MINE.
JOHNNY? COME BACK!
TALK TO ME, GOLD AND SILVER!
HOLLER LOUD,
BECAUSE I GOT A GAL THAT BURNS MONEY UP!
JOHNNY! JOHNNY! COME BACK!
YOU GOING TO STOP THAT CRYING?
YES! YES!
OH, YES, JOHNNY! YES!
SAY YOU LOVE ME.
I LOVE YOU, JOHNNY.
HA HA! THAT'S BETTER.
[ROCKS FALLING]
MMM...
OH, JOHNNY!
Johnny...
OH! OH!
YEE-HAW!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WE ARE NOW ENTERING PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
UP AND DOWN THIS BEAUTIFUL AVENUE
ARE THE HOMES OF THE SACRED 36,
THE CREAM DE LA CREAM OF DENVER.
THE HOUSE ON YOUR LEFT
IS THE HOME OF MRS. McGRAW,
THE ACKNOWLEDGED LEADER OF DENVER SOCIETY.
AND THIS IS THE NEW SHOWPLACE
OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE.
IT HAS JUST BEEN REMODELED BY MR. AND MRS. J.J. BROWN,
OWNER OF THE LITTLE JOHNNY MINE,
THE RICHEST GOLD STRIKE IN THE HISTORY OF COLORADO.
THIS MINE HAS ALREADY PRODUCED $10 MILLION.
Man: $14 MILLION, AND PLENTY MORE
WHERE THAT COME FROM.
GOOD-BYE, FOLKS!
HAVE YOURSELF A NICE RIDE.
AND DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING
THAT FELLOW TELLS YOU.
PA!
GOOD-BYE!
YOU MUSTN'T DO THAT. IT AIN'T ELEGANT.
I GOT NOTHING ELSE TO DO.
LEAVE IT LAY.
I LIKE A LIVED-IN FEELING
IN ONE ROOM OF THIS FANCY HOUSE.
RIGHT, PA.
AND TELL HOTCHKISS TO FETCH ME
A FRESH JUG.
SURE, PA.
THANK YOU, DARLING.
HOTCHKISS!
YES, MADAM?
GET MY PA ANOTHER JUG.
YES, MADAM.
[WHISTLING]
WHAT'S THAT?
PRESENT.
OOH! WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A NEW WEDDING RING.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS ONE?
THAT AIN'T THE ONE YOU WAS MARRIED WITH.
I GOT YOU ANOTHER, MORE FITTING.
NOW, DON'T YOU NEVER, EVER TAKE IT OFF
UNLESS I TELL YOU TO, CHICK-A-PEN.
PROMISE ME.
I PROMISE.
OH! A--A CIGAR BAND!
INJUN HEAD AND ALL!
AND--AND RUBIES AND SAPPHIRES
AND DIAMONDS!
THE MAN SAID
THERE AIN'T ANOTHER LIKE IT
IN THE WHOLE WORLD.
OH, IT'S REAL BEAUTIFUL, JOHNNY.
THANK YOU.
I'M GLAD YOU LIKE IT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO TODAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
WANT TO GO OUT AND BUY SOMETHING?
WE DONE THAT YESTERDAY.
WANT TO GO FOR A WALK?
UH-UH.
LET'S PLAY ANOTHER GAME OF BLACKJACK.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
YEAH?
EXCUSE ME.
MR. CARTWRIGHT FROM THE BANK
IS DOWNSTAIRS.
YOU TELL HIM WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
THANK YOU, MADAM.
GO TALK TO HIM.
I GOT TO FIND MY SHOES.
HURRY UP.
YEAH.
UH! UH!
I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!
OH...OH!
HOWDY, MR. CARTWRIGHT!
NICE TO SEE YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MRS. BROWN.
HOW'S THINGS AT THE BANK?
FINE.
HAVE A SEAT.
THANK YOU.
OH, SIT HERE.
THIS ONE'S A GOOD CHAIR.
IT COST A POT OF MONEY.
THANK YOU.
OH, MY.
OH, IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE SEEING
ONE OF DENVER'S SACRED 36 IN OUR HOME.
SIT DOWN.
IT GETS KIND OF LONESOME AROUND HERE.
WE THOUGHT YOU COULD COME HERE
INSTEAD OF US RUNNING TO THE BANK.
I UNDERSTAND.
I HAVE THE MONEY RIGHT HERE.
OH, THAT'S FINE. NOW, YOU JUST SET AWHILE.
OH, NO. I MUST GET BACK TO THE BANK.
Pa: HOTCHKISS!
HOTCHKISS, WHERE'S ME JUG?
PA! SAY HELLO TO MR. CARTWRIGHT!
MR. CARTWRIGHT, SAY HELLO TO MY PA.
Pa: HOWDY!
NICE TO SEE A NEW FACE.
HOTCHKISS!
WITH THE PLACE CRAWLING WITH FLUNKIES,
A THIRSTY MAN SHOULD GET A JUG NOW AND THEN.
AHEM. DON'T YOU WANT TO COUNT IT?
OH, GUESS YOU'VE DONE THAT.
HERE.
HOW ABOUT SOME FUDGE?
NOT RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU.
WELL... OH, YOU KEEP THAT.
YEAH.
THANK YOU, NO.
I MUST GET BACK TO THE BANK.
OH? OH.
WELL, DROP IN AND SEE US AGAIN SOMETIME.
YEAH. BRING YOUR FRIENDS.
OH, BRING MRS. CARTWRIGHT.
WE'RE ALWAYS HERE.
YES.
GOOD HEAVENS!
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE.
IT'S SOLID GOLD!
YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
I PRESUME THE "B"
STANDS FOR BROWN?
WELL, IT DON'T STAND FOR BACKHOUSE.
OH.
MR. CARTWRIGHT, YOU COME BACK
REAL SOON.
THANKS AGAIN, MR. CARTWRIGHT.
COME SEE US REAL SOON.
YES.
WHAT'S GOING ON OVER THERE?
IT'S THE CATERER DELIVERING THINGS
FOR MRS. McGRAW'S PARTY.
WHAT PARTY?
SHE GIVES ONE EVERY YEAR
WHEN HER ROSES BLOOM. GOOD-BYE.
BYE. BYE.
OH, AIN'T THAT WONDERFUL?
WHAT?
SHE GIVES A PARTY WHEN HER ROSES BLOOM.
OH, MY.
OH, GOOD EVENING, FATHER!
I BELIEVE YOU ALL KNOW MONSIGNOR RYAN.
YOU'VE BEEN FORTUNATE
IN THE WEATHER, MRS. McGRAW.
THE GARDEN IS MOST ATTRACTIVE.
OH, THANK YOU.
I HAVEN'T BEEN HERE
SINCE THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR WAS REMODELED.
OH, YES. DREADFUL, ISN'T IT?
BUT AT LEAST THE NOISE
OF THE REMODELING IS OVER.
I'VE SEEN MRS. BROWN ON THE AVENUE.
SHE'S A LITTLE... STRANGE.
OH!
THEY OVERPAY THEIR SERVANTS.
THE ENTIRE ECONOMY OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
HAS BEEN AFFECTED.
THEY DRIVE UP AND DOWN THE AVENUE
WHILE SHE SHOUTS GREETINGS TO PASSERS-BY.
WELL, PERHAPS THEY'RE LONELY.
HAVE YOU CALLED ON THEM
TO WELCOME THEM, MRS. McGRAW?
MRS. FITZGERALD?
UH...MONSIGNOR, HAVE YOU SEEN THE ROSES?
THANK YOU, JEEVES.
OH, MY!
OOH! EVENING, FOLKS!
MOLLY BROWN'S THE NAME.
THIS HERE'S JOHNNY BROWN,
OWNER OF THE LITTLE JOHNNY
AND RICHEST MAN IN THE UNITED STATES.
OH, THERE YOU BE, NEIGHBOR!
HOWDY!
BROWN'S THE NAME.
WE'RE THE ONES FROM THAT LITTLE SHACK NEXT DOOR.
HOW DO YOU DO, MRS. BROWN?
GREAT!
TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
THE DENVER WATER'S HARD ON THE KIDNEYS,
BUT WE LOVE IT HERE.
OH, UH, MR. BROWN!
HMM?
SAY HELLO TO MRS. McGRAW.
SURE. HOWDY.
WE WAS OUT FOR A WALK.
YOUR LIGHTS WAS ON,
SO WE THOUGHT WE'D DROP IN.
MAY I PRESENT MONSIGNOR RYAN?
WELL, HELLO THERE, MONSIGNOR.
GLAD TO MAKE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE.
YEAH. MR. BROWN.
HOWDY.
I READ ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL FUND IN THE PAPER.
HERE'S $5,000, AND GOOD LUCK.
[GUESTS MURMURING]
WELL, I HARDLY KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
GOD BLESS YOU, MRS. BROWN.
WELL, WHAT YOU STANDING THERE FOR, MR. BROWN?
MATCH MY $5,000,
OR BE HIGH-CLASS AND DOUBLE IT.
WHY, SURE. GLAD TO. HERE, FATHER.
1, 2, 3, 4...
ALREADY TOOK A FEW MILLION
OUT OF GOD'S GOOD EARTH.
HE DESERVES A KICKBACK.
THAT SHOULD SEE THEM INTO HEAVEN.
WELL, MAYBE IT'LL GREASE THE GATES A LITTLE...
9, 10. 10,000.
I'M SORRY IT'S ALL IN ONES.
GOD BLESS YOU BOTH. $15,000.
THINK NOTHING OF IT.
ONCE TOOK 20 TIMES THAT
JUST TO WARM J.J.'s BACKSIDE.
BESIDES, THIS HERE'S OUR HOME NOW,
AND--AND WE WANT TO BELONG.
GOT TO KEEP UP WITH MRS. McGRAW.
HOW MUCH DO YOU KICK--
UH, HOW MUCH DO YOU KICK IN, GLADYS?
OH.
WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I--
I HAVEN'T MADE MY CONTRIBUTION YET.
YOU HAVEN'T?
NO.
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, GLADYS?
YOU GOT PLENTY, I HEAR!
NOW, ROBERTS!
DINNER IS SERVED,
MADAM.
THANK YOU. SHALL WE?
PARDON ME, PLEASE.
HOWDY.
OH, EXCUSE ME.
HOWDY.
HELLO. HOWDY.
HOWDY.
Roberts: MRS. McGRAW REGRETS
THAT THERE ISN'T ROOM FOR 2 MORE.
SHE HOPES YOU WILL EXCUSE HER.
OH, WELL, WE JUST POPPED IN.
TELL HER IT WAS GREAT MEETING HER
AND NOT TO GIVE THE BROWNS
A SECOND THOUGHT.
YES, MADAM.
Monsignor: I'M SORRY YOU AREN'T STAYING,
BUT I ASSUME YOU HAD OTHER PLANS.
OH, YES. WE'RE PRETTY BUSY.
YOU GO ON INSIDE BEFORE YOUR SUPPER GETS COLD.
GOOD NIGHT. MAY GOD GO WITH YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU IN CHURCH.
YES.
COME ON.
OH, WAIT. OH, WAIT.
OH, I JUST GOT TO SEE HOW THEY DO.
UH...COME ON.
Oh, my.
AIN'T THAT PRETTY?
WELL, THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM AT THAT TABLE.
IT SURE SMELLS GOOD, GLADYS.
EAT HEARTY, FOLKS!
COME ON, MOLL. COME ON.
WASN'T THAT FINE?
ALL THEM BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE,
EVERYTHING TRIMMED SO GORGEOUS,
AND--AND THE PEOPLE IS TRIMMED, TOO.
YEAH.
THE GOOD LORD OUTDID HISSELF ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE,
AND WE'RE RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
DID YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME?
WE HAD MORE FUN IN LEADVILLE BY ACCIDENT
THAN THEY'RE HAVING IN THERE ON PURPOSE.
THEY'RE COLD FISH.
OH, NO. THAT'S DIGNITY, MR. BROWN. DIGNITY.
AND WE'RE GOING TO GET US SOME.
THEY COULD HAVE MADE ROOM FOR US.
WELL, HOW-DY!
HOWDY, SHAMUS! HOWDY, FOLKS!
SHE KNOWS MY NAME.
I KNOW PLENTY.
COME IN, COME IN, YOU PRETTY THING.
EVENING.
WE'RE EATING.
COME IN AND SIT AWHILE.
THANK YOU KINDLY.
Molly: HOWDY!
Johnny: HOWDY!
HOW ABOUT SOME STEW?
I'D RATHER HAVE A BEER.
OH, PA.
WELL, THAT WAS SURE A DREARY PARTY,
WASN'T IT?
WAS YOU THERE?
NO, BUT I WAS WATCHING.
I'M MRS. McGRAW'S MA.
WELL!
WELL, HOWDY, MRS. McGRAW.
NOT MRS. McGRAW. GROGAN.
ME DAUGHTER GLADYS MARRIED A McGRAW,
BUT I'M MRS. GROGAN--
BUTTERCUP GROGAN.
HOW COME YOU AIN'T AT THE PARTY, BUTTERCUP?
AIN'T NEVER INVITED TO GLADYS' PARTIES.
SHE KEEPS ME HID UPSTAIRS.
HID?
WHEN SHE HAS COMPANY.
SHE'S THE LEADER OF DENVER SOCIETY, YOU KNOW.
THAT AIN'T A NICE WAY TO TREAT YOU.
OH, I DON'T MIND.
THEM FRIENDS OF HERS
WITH THEIR PINKIES UP
AIN'T MY KIND OF FOLKS.
WELL, IT'S SURE GOOD TO BE HERE.
TOOK ME A LITTLE TIME
TO GET UP THE NERVE TO COME.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT THE WAY GLADYS GAVE YOU
THE BRUSH-OFF TONIGHT.
WASN'T NEIGHBORLY, AND THAT'S A FACT!
THERE WASN'T ANY ROOM
AT THE TABLE.
BULL-SUGAR! BULL-SUGAR!
GLADYS IS GIVING YOU THE TREATMENT.
DON'T YOU LET HER.
MOLL DOESN'T NEED MRS. McGRAW.
YOU'RE LIVING HERE.
YOU'VE GOT TO BELONG.
BUT DENVER'S GIVING YOU THE GO-BY!
'TIS TRUE.
WE GET PRETTY LONESOME AROUND HERE.
HOLD YOUR TONGUE! WE'RE DOING FINE!
Johnny: WE AIN'T DOING FINE.
YOU CAN'T JUST YELL "HELLO!"
TO FOLKS IN THE STREET.
YOU INVITE THEM FORMAL TO YOUR HOUSE
WITH PRINTED INVITATIONS.
A PARTY!
WITH INVITATIONS PRINTED IN GOLD!
THAT'S THE TICKET!
WE'LL GIVE THE BIGGEST
HIGH-TONE HELLBENDER OF A PARTY
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE EVER SEEN!
A FLAMING TOTE!
A RANDY DAN!
WITH A BAND PLAYING MUSIC,
LIKE AT MRS. McGRAW'S,
ONLY BIGGER AND LOUDER!
[WALTZ MUSIC PLAYING]
COME ON BACK, CHICK-A-PEN.
IF ANYBODY WAS TO COME, THEY'D KNOW FOR SURE
THIS HERE IS WHERE THE BROWNS LIVE.
HELL, HONEY, YOU'VE GOT IT WRIT ON EVERYTHING
FROM THE WEATHER VANE TO THE HITCHING POST.
NOW, COME ON. IT'S AFTER 10:00.
I'M SORRY IT TURNED OUT LIKE THIS, MOLLY.
I BET IT WAS GLADYS WHAT GAVE YOU THE AX.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
I AM WALKING BUTTERCUP HOME.
GOOD NIGHT, BUTTERCUP.
GOOD NIGHT, MOLLY.
THANKS FOR COMING.
[DOOR CLOSES]
I'M SORRY THERE AIN'T NO PARTY, MONSIGNOR.
SIT DOWN A MINUTE, MOLLY.
JOHNNY?
I GUESS THE SACRED 36
JUST DON'T WANT NO PART OF US.
MOLLY, MOLLY,
THIS IS NOT NEW YORK OR PARIS.
DENVER SOCIETY IS ONLY
IN ITS SECOND GENERATION.
THE VENEER IS THIN.
NOW, TRUE ARISTOCRATS
MIGHT ACCEPT YOU.
BUT HERE, YOU'RE A PAINFUL REMINDER
OF WHERE THEY CAME FROM.
YOU'RE UNSCHOOLED,
AND YOU'RE FULL OF UNHARNESSED ENTHUSIASM,
AND DENVER ISN'T SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH
TO APPRECIATE THAT.
WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE HILLS WHERE WE BELONG.
MAY I MAKE A SUGGESTION?
SHOOT, FATHER.
TAKE A TRIP--
A NICE LONG TOUR OF EUROPE.
YOU'LL ENJOY IT, AND YOU'LL ACQUIRE
A LITTLE POLISH.
POLISH.
LIKE WHAT?
LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT ART AND MUSIC.
LEARN MANNERS.
GET A SMATTERIN' OF LANGUAGES.
ALL THAT JUST TO SHOW MRS. McGRAW?
GO AHEAD, FATHER. I'M LEARNIN' ALREADY.
I'VE SAID ENOUGH.
I THINK YOU UNDERSTAND.
I'LL SAY GOOD NIGHT NOW.
THANKS FOR THE ADVICE, FATHER.
YOU'RE RIGHT. WE SURE ARE IGNORANT.
BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET SCHOOLED AND HARNESSED
AND--AND BE SECOND-GENERATION IF IT KILLS US.
IT WON'T. GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, FATHER.
THANKS AGAIN.
LOOK AT IT, JOHNNY.
AIN'T IT BEAUTIFUL?
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE,
I'LL ADMIT YOU GAVE ME
A NOSE FULL OF SPLINTERS,
BUT IT'S ALL GOOD WOOD
FROM THE VERY BEST STORES!
COME ON, MOLL.
WE'RE GOING BACK TO LEADVILLE.
NEVER.
WE AIN'T STAYING WHERE WE'RE NOT WANTED.
JOHNNY!
I CAN'T GO BACK TO LEADVILLE.
WE CAN GO ONLY ONE WAY,
AND AHEAD IS BETTER THAN BACK.
I KNOW WHAT'S BACK THERE.
AHEAD IS NEW-- MAYBE BETTER, MAYBE NOT,
BUT I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT.
WE DON'T BELONG IN EUROPE!
THEY'LL SPLIT THEIR SATIN BRITCHES LAUGHING AT US.
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO-- %%
I MEAN IT, MOLL.
%% WHATEVER YOU SAY OR DO %%
WE AIN'T GOING!
%% TODAY IS TOMORROW %%
%% IF YOU WANT IT SO %%
WE'RE GOING TO LEADVILLE, WHERE WE BELONG.
%% I'LL STAY, OR I'LL GO %%
%% BUT I'LL NEVER SAY... %%
OH...
WE'LL GO TO HELL AND BACK IF YOU LIKE.
OH! I LOVE YOU, JOHNNY.
NOW, MR. BROWN...

PSST!
HA HA HA!
MOLL! WE GOT A NEW FRIEND.
GUESS WHAT. HE'S A REAL LIVE PRINCE.
OH, AIN'T THAT SOMETHING?
'CAUSE LOOK WHAT I CAUGHT,
AND SHE'S A GRAND DUCHESS.
Johnny: WELL!

[VOICES INAUDIBLE]
[LAUGHTER]
MOLLY, DEAR, YOU ARE FUNNY.
HERE I'M FUNNY. IN DENVER I'M VULGAR.
I GUESS IT'S LIKE, HERE YOU EAT SNAILS--
AT HOME, WE STEP ON THEM.
[LAUGHTER]
SHE HAS FINALLY LEARNED TO EAT SNAILS.
WITH THIS SAUCE, YOU COULD EAT ERASERS.
[LAUGHTER]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
UH...THANK YOU.
MY, I, UH...
I--I CAN'T FIND WORDS.
YOU KNOW THAT'S UNUSUAL FOR ME.
UH...I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I APPRECIATE HOW SWEET YOU'VE BEEN TO I AND J.J.

ME AND J.J.?
WELL, ANYWAY, AS WE SAY, MERCI BEAUCOUP!
THE CANDLES, MOLLY.
[CHEERING]
OH, THANK YOU.
OH...THANK YOU.
GRAZIE.
MANY HAPPY RETURNS, MOLLY.
OH, YOU FRENCHIES SURE ARE A KISSY BUNCH OF BANANAS.
IT'S BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU, MOLLY.
YOU'VE BEEN A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.
OH! I'M A BAG OF WIND, ALL RIGHT.
NO, DARLING, IT'S TRUE.
YOU'RE A STIMULANT TO ALL OF US.
YOU LIKE EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING.
I'M INTERESTED IN EVERYTHING
'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN'.
THAT'S NOT TRUE, MOLLY.
OH, BUT I'M LEARNIN'. I'M REALLY LEARNIN'.
I CAN SIT THROUGH THE OPERA WITHOUT GOING TO SLEEP,
AND--HERE YOU ARE--
AND I CAN PAINT A BOWL OF FRUIT THAT'LL DRAW FLIES.
[LAUGHTER]
AND I CAN SAY "HELLO" AND "HOW MUCH?"
IN 10 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
OH!
HELL, I'M--I'M JUST A HOG FOR KNOWLEDGE.
MOLLY, WHAT DID JOHNNY GIVE YOU
FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
OHH...SOMETHING REAL SWEET
WITH A LOT OF SENTIMENT ATTACHED.
$300,000 IN CASH AND A BOX OF MATCHES.
OHH! OH!
YES.
HE TOLD US HOW YOU BURNT THE MONEY
IN YOUR STOVE.
HA HA HA!
ECOUTER! ECOUTER.
OHH! OHH!
%% BELLY UP, BELLY UP TO THE BAR, BOYS %%

%% OR WITH SOMEBODY ELSE %%
[IN HARMONY] %% SOME-BOD-Y ELSE %%
IT WASN'T NICE TO SKIP MY PARTY.
YOU WENT WITHOUT ME.
I HAD TO LEAVE EARLY WITH THE GRAND DUCHESS
TO ARRANGE THE PLACE CARDS.
YOU SAID YOU'D JOIN US.
I DIDN'T THINK I'D BE MISSED WITH THE PRINCE THERE.
IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, AND I THINK YOU DO,
HE'S GONE ON YOU.
SO WHAT? THAT'S THE WAY IN EUROPE.
HMM.
YOU'RE IN A MOOD.
I AM?
YOU'VE BEEN IN A MOOD FOR DAYS.
I SURE HAVE. I'M GOING PLUMB CRAZY.
IT AIN'T THE PRINCE.
I KNOW THAT AIN'T SERIOUS.
IT'S JUST THAT I'VE HAD CULTURE UP TO HERE.
I'VE DRUNK TEA TILL MY EYES ARE BUBBLING.
I CAN'T GET THE HANG OF THEIR LINGO AND THEIR MANNERS.
I'M HOMESICK FOR MY OWN COUNTRY.
DO I GET TO TALK?
ALL THE TIME!
LADIES FIRST, MR. BROWN.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
I THOUGHT IT WAS TIME WE WENT HOME.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY!
YOU--YOU AIN'T FOOLING ME?
UH-UH.
COLORADO! HOME!
I'LL GET THE TICKETS TOMORROW.
OH, YOU'D BETTER GET ABOUT 10 OF THEM.
10 OF THEM?
I'VE INVITED THE CROWNED HEADS OF EUROPE
TO BE OUR GUESTS.
I PROMISED THE GRAND DUCHESS AND PRINCE
WE'D SHOW THEM DENVER.
OF COURSE, THEY HAVE TO BRING THEIR FRIENDS.
HIS ROYALTY DON'T EVEN
GO TO THE SHED UNESCORTED.
HOW'S THAT?
YOU SHOWING OFF DENVER TO THE CROWNED HEADS,
OR THE CROWN HEADS OFF TO DENVER...
AND MRS. McGRAW?
MRS. McGRAW? HUH!
I WOULDN'T GIVE A WIDOW'S WART
FOR MRS. McGRAW.
MOLLY BROWN, YOU'RE EITHER LYING TO ME OR TO YOURSELF.
WHEN YOU GOING TO STOP TRYING TO BE MRS. McGRAW?
YOU CAN'T BE LIKE HER.
I CAN BE ANYTHING I WANT.
MAYBE. I LIKED THE OLD MOLLY BEST.
WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD, J.J.,
'CAUSE THE OLD ME AIN'T--
ISN'T NO MORE.
IT'S BEEN GRAND PUTTING THE NEW ME TOGETHER.
I'M SORRY YOU DISLIKE US,
BECAUSE YOU PAID THE BILLS.
I'M GOING TO KEEP ON PAYING THEM, CHICK-A-PEN.
I LOVE YOU WITH A HEART AND A HALF.

YAH HA HA!

YEE AH HA HA!
[CHEERING]
SHOCKING.
IT'S A DANCE FOR A... A BAWDY HOUSE!
MY DEAR, THAT'S THE WAY
SHE EARNED HER LIVING IN LEADVILLE.
HA HA HA!
[GUESTS SCREAMING]
MOTHER!
SHUT UP, GLADYS!
TIMBER!
HA HA!
NO!
NO! PLEASE STOP!
WELL, AT LAST, THIS PLACE LOOKS LIVED-IN.
GOOD MORNING, MR. TOBIN.
MORNIN'. MOLLY SURE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS DOING
WHEN SHE MADE THIS PLACE RED.
THE BLOOD DON'T SHOW.
YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I THOUGHT, MR. ROBERTS.
YOU DID FINE LAST NIGHT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.
IT'S DREADFUL-- SIMPLY DREADFUL!
MR. BRODERICK ISN'T A REPORTER.
HE'S AN IGNORANT, SPITEFUL BARBARIAN.
BUT IT'S LIES, ALL LIES.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THE MERRY CHRISTMAS SALOON
AIN'T NO FANCY HOUSE.
THE THINGS HE QUOTES ME SAYING--
ALL THOSE BLANKS THAT STAND FOR BAD WORDS.
WELL, I GUESS I DID LET A COUPLE GO.
"ONE THING'S FOR BLANK SURE,
"SAID MRS. BROWN.
"THIS TIME, WE AIN'T PUTTING UP
WITH NO BLANK, BLANK ROCKY MOUNTAIN RUDENESS."
AND WORST OF ALL,
IT AIN'T EVEN ON THE SOCIETY PAGE.
IT'S ON THE SPORTS PAGE.
IT ISN'T ONLY BRODERICK, MOLLY.
IT'S ALL OF YOUR SACRED 36.
THEY'VE BEEN SENDING FLOWERS AND INVITATIONS
TO LOUIS, TO ME, AND TO THE OTHERS,
BUT NOTHING FOR YOU AND JOHNNY.
I'VE NEVER KNOWN SUCH UNCIVILIZED BEHAVIOR.
THINGS WERE PRETTY UNCIVILIZED
HERE LAST NIGHT,
BUT IT WASN'T YOUR FAULT.
LOUIS AND I BOTH THINK
WE SHOULD GO HOME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE--
ALL OF US.
YOU'VE OUTGROWN DENVER.
YOU CANNOT EXIST HERE, MY DARLING.
THE AIR IS MUCH TOO THIN.
SAIL WITH US ON THE NEXT BOAT.
OH...
YOU ARE NOT THE SAME HERE,CHERIE.
YOU WERE FREE AND HAPPY IN EUROPE.
COME BACK.
LET ME MAKE A HAPPY WORLD
FOR YOU AGAIN.
LOUIS,
LET US GO AND TELL THE OTHERS.
Man: YOU ALL READ IN THIS MORNING'S PAPER
ABOUT A FREE-FOR-ALL BATTLE
THAT TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT
IN THIS MILLION-DOLLAR PILE OF ROCK.
NO!
I'LL FIX YOU!
...NAMED LEADVILLE JOHNNY BROWN,
THE GUESTS WERE ATTACKED BY DRUNKEN MINERS.
IT IS GENERALLY KNOWN THAT ALTHOUGH MRS. BROWN
BUYS HER JEWELS BY THE BUSHEL,
ONLY A SHORT WHILE AGO, SHE WAS A BAR GIRL
IN A MINING TOWN SALOON.
[GUNSHOTS]
AAH!
GET OUT OF HERE
BEFORE I LOAD UP AGAIN!
GET OUT, YOU LYING, STINKING POLECAT!
MOLLY!
ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR SKULL?
THEY CAME SIGHTSEEING.
I'LL GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO SEE.
WE'RE NO SIDE SHOW!
YOU'RE MAKING IT A THREE-RING CIRCUS,
FIRING OUT THE WINDOW
LIKE A LIQUORED-UP REDSKIN.
YOU'RE A FINE ONE TO BE BELLERING
ABOUT LIQUORED-UP,
YOU AND YOUR LEADVILLE FRIENDS.
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
I WISH WE'D KEPT AT IT
TILL WE HAD THIS WHOLE HOUSE TORE TO SHREDS.
I HATE THIS PLACE!
GOOD, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING.
WE'RE GOING HOME TO EUROPE.
WE'RE GOING HOME, ALL RIGHT,
TO LEADVILLE.
NO, WE ARE NOT.
I AIN'T LIVING IN COLORADO.
THE AIR IS MUCH TOO THIN.
YOU'D BETTER LEARN TO BREATHE IT.
WE'RE LIVING IN LEADVILLE.
I'M LIVING IN EUROPE.
YOU'RE MY WIFE.
YOU LIVE UNDER THE ROOF I GIVE YOU.
IT'S GOING TO BE IN LEADVILLE.
DON'T TALK SO BOSSY, JOHNNY BROWN.
I GOT ONLY ONE LIFE TO LIVE,
AND I AIN'T LIVING IT IN LEADVILLE.
EUROPE'S BEEN GOOD TO ME.
I LEARNED A LOT.
IF YOU'RE TOO STUBBORN OR TOO LAZY
OR TOO STUPID TO LEARN,
THEN THE DEVIL WITH YOU!
MAYBE WE'RE MISMATCHED, MR. BROWN.
WHAT YOU AND ME WANT OUT OF THIS LIFE
SURE IS DIFFERENT.
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
YOU GOT RICH TOO QUICK.
YOU'RE ALL MIXED UP.
I'M ASKING YOU FOR THE LAST TIME--
YOU COMING WITH ME?
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GO TO EUROPE WITH YOUR PRINCE.
I'M NOT GOING.
I'M SAYING NO TO YOU AT LAST.
NO. NO!
MOLLY, WHAT HAPPENED TO US?
[ECHO] TO US?
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO %%
[ECHO] %% NEVER SAY NO %%
%% I'LL NEVER SAY NO %%
DAMN YOU!
[ECHO] DAMN YOU!
DAMN YOU, MOLLY BROWN!
[ECHO] MOLLY BROWN!
I JUST GOT ONE FAVOR TO ASK YOU, MOLLY.
WE SAID GOOD-BYE, DIDN'T WE?
ALL RIGHT. NOW JUST STAY AWAY.
DON'T YOU NEVER COME BACK.
WHEN YOU SAY GOOD-BYE, MEAN GOOD-BYE.
REMEMBER?
I SAID GOOD-BYE TO LEADVILLE ONCE.
WELL, I MEANT IT, DIDN'T I?
%% SAID GOOD-BYE AND WALKED AWAY %%
%% WALKED AWAY FROM ALL I KNOW %%
%% FROM THE SKY AND THE TREES %%
%% AND THE SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS %%
%% SAID GOOD-BYE AND LEFT FOREVER %%
%% BECAUSE I LOVED YOU %%
%% OH, I COULD SAY GOOD-BYE %%
%% TO MANY THINGS %%
%% DEEP INSIDE MY HEART %%
%% I COULD EASILY TAKE THAT HEART %%
%% AND TEAR IT FREE %%
%% FROM EVERY KIND OF MEMORY %%
%% AND I COULD SAY GOOD-BYE SOMEDAY %%
%% TO LIFE ITSELF NO MATTER WHEN %%
WOULD YOU STAY AWAY, MOLLY? JUST STAY AWAY!
%% FOR I COULD NEVER SAY GOOD-BYE TO YOU %%
%% AGAIN %%
[BAND PLAYING DANCE MUSIC]
I ORDERED A NEBUCHADNEZZAR
OF CHAMPAGNE.
GOOD THING HE'S A PRINCE.
I SURE COULDN'T AFFORD A KING.
HA HA HA! HA HA HA!
WITH MOLLY, I AM A KING
BECAUSE SHE IS A QUEEN.
Man: WELL, A TOAST--
TO OUR OWN QUEEN MOLLY, INTERNATIONAL MOLLY,
QUEEN OF THE WORLD.
HEAR, HEAR.
QUEEN OF THE WORLD--
AT LAST.
QUEEN OF THE WORLD.
HERE IS MY SCEPTER.
HERE IS MY CROWN.
Guests: HA HA HA!
I'M QUEEN OF THE WORLD,
SO BOW.
Guests: HA HA HA!
I'M MOLLY TOBIN, QUEEN OF THE LARD PAIL.
BOW.
CURTSY.
WELL, DROP MY DRAWERS.
IT'S GLADYS McGRAW.
AREN'T YOU GOING TO CURTSY?
NO, I GUESS YOU AREN'T.
AND WHY SHOULD YOU?
I'M A VULGAR, EXTRAVAGANT, IGNORANT,
NOUVEAU-RICHE AMERICAN EXPATRIATE,
CLOWNING FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE
I DON'T KNOW AND DON'T CARE ABOUT.
JUST A FIGURE OF FUN.
NICE TO SEE YOU, GLADYS.
[DROPS SCEPTER]
AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE BECOME.
I GUESS LAST OF ALL COMES SOMETHING
YOU CAN'T BUY WITH MONEY.
LAST OF ALL, IT'S JUST LIVING WITH YOURSELF.
MAYBE I'M GETTING THERE.
MAYBE THAT'S WHERE I'M GETTING.
JOHNNY USED TO SAY,
"WHY DON'T YOU SETTLE FOR HAPPINESS?"
BUT I THOUGHT HAPPINESS
WAS ALL THE THINGS I WAS DOING,
WAS WHAT I WANTED,
WAS WHAT I DREAMED OF.
I DON'T KNOW.
SEEM TO BE SAYING THAT PRETTY OFTEN NOWADAYS--
"I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW."
A LETTER FROM JOHNNY.
"DEAR MRS. BROWN, THE TIME HAS COME.
YOU CAN TAKE THE RING OFF NOW."
"SINCERELY, J.J. BROWN."
HE CAN'T EVEN SPELL "SINCERELY"...
BUT HE WAS THE ONE TAUGHT ME TO READ.
[MOLLY CRYING]
OH!
UNCLE.
UNCLE?
IT'S AN OLD AMERICAN EXPRESSION...
FOR WHEN YOU'RE DOWN.
AND I'M DOWN.
I'M DOWN REAL LOW.
YOU AND I, LOUIS...
WE'RE JUST FOOLING OURSELVES.
FORGIVE ME.
I KNOW IT'S BEEN ROUGH ON YOU.
I HAVE TRIED...
BUT IT'S AGAINST MY NATURE.
LOVE IS FUNNY.
IT'S A LOT HARDER TO MINE
THAN GOLD OR SILVER.
I HAD A RICH CLAIM, BUT I WASN'T WORKING IT.
SO I LOST IT.
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE
HE NO LONGER MEANS
WHAT HE WROTE INSIDE THIS RING?
INSIDE THE RING?
THE INSCRIPTION.
DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS AN INSCRIPTION.
NEVER HAD IT OFF
SINCE THE DAY HE PUT IT ON.
MADE ME PROMISE NOT TO.
"ALWAYS REMEMBER 2 THINGS--
"THAT I LOVE YOU...
AND THE NAME OF THE BANK."
MAYBE I AIN'T DOWN YET.
GOOD EVENING. IT'S COLD.
[HORN BLOWING]
[ALARM BEEPING]
OH, MY GOD.
GEORGE!
Child: MAMMA!
DON'T GET EXCITED.
STOP IT!
SIT DOWN!
YOU'RE ROCKING THE BOAT!
STOP YELLING!
WE'RE GOING TO DIE. WE'RE GOING TO DIE.
NO, WE AIN'T!
I AIN'T READY TO DIE!
I'M JUST LEARNING HOW TO LIVE.
THERE YOU ARE, HONEY.
YOU KEEP WARM.
THANK YOU, DEAR.
YOU TWO, CRYING AIN'T GOING TO HELP.
HERE. TAKE THESE.
NOW, YOU HOLD ON REAL TIGHT.
I DON'T WANT TO DIE.
I DON'T WANT TO DIE!
OH, GOD!
LADIES AND GENT,
DID I EVER TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME
I WAS A BAR GIRL IN A SALOON?
I SANG A SONG
I'M GOING TO TEACH YOU NOW,
AND YOU'LL LEARN ALL THE WORDS.
YOU, TOO.
Woman: WE'LL NEVER MAKE IT. WE'LL SINK.
NOT WITH MOLLY BROWN ON BOARD.
THAT SHIP MAY BE DOWN, BUT NOT ME.
I'M UNSINKABLE.
I SURVIVED THE COLORADO FLOODS
WHEN I WAS 6 MONTHS OLD,
SO THIS IS NOTHING.
WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT IF WE KEEP OUR HEADS.
[BAND PLAYING MARCH]
"DENVER'S HEROINE,
"OUR OWN MRS. J.J. BROWN,
"WHO IS NOW KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD
"AS THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN,
"RETURNS TO DENVER TODAY.
"WHEN INTERVIEWED
"DURING HER TRIUMPHANT WEEK
"IN NEW YORK,
"SHE MADE LIGHT OF HER HEROISM
"DESPITE THE GLOWING REPORTS
"FROM HER FELLOW PASSENGERS.
"SHE SAID,
"I SURE AS BLANK WASN'T READY
"FOR A BLANK, BLANK WATERY GRAVE,
"SO I JUST BLANK WELL
"TOOK THE OTHERS ALONG WITH ME.
"ON HER LAST DAY IN NEW YORK,
"THE UNSINKABLE MRS. BROWN
"WAS DECORATED BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
"FOR HER COURAGE.
"WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE MEDAL,
"SHE SAID,
"A GIRL CAN ALWAYS USE
ANOTHER PIECE OF JEWELRY."
HA HA HA! HA HA HA!
SHE'S HERE! SHE'S HERE, MADAM.
YES. SIR? THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OH, MY GOODNESS. PA!

MOTHER AND I--
WE'RE THROWING A PARTY FOR YOU
TO CELEBRATE YOUR HOMECOMING.
THE SACRED 36 IS READY AND WAITING.
GET OUT OF THEM TRAVELING CLOTHES
AND GET INTO A PARTY DRESS.
HURRY!

THANK YOU, GLADYS. YOU'RE A GOOD SPORT.
MOLLY, YOU'RE QUITE A WOMAN.
HURRY UP NOW.
MOLLY, DARLING, YOU SHOULD SEE
ALL THE TELEGRAMS AND FLOWERS
AND LETTERS AND ALL.
PA, ANY LETTER FROM JOHNNY?
NO, BUT HE WAS NEVER MUCH
FOR WRITING LETTERS.
Buttercup: SHAMUS!
COMING! HURRY UP, DARLING.
HELLO, ROBERTS.
WELCOME HOME, MRS. BROWN.
THANK YOU.
