The Virginian · Season 6
Elizabeth!
Stacey? Did you get it? Did it come?
What?
You know.
Godey's Ladies' Book.
Give it to me.
On one condition. (opens the book) Do you promise you won't wear that?
It's the latest thing!
I think there's uh.. a little too much going south for ladies going north.
I think a gentleman wouldn't look in a ladies magazine.
[Stacey delivers Trampas' perfumed mail to the bunkhouse.]
Here's your mail, lover.
Thank you sir.
You sure you're not advertising for a wife or something?
Some people don't have to advertise.
Apparently not.
[Trampas is falsely accused of murder and sentenced to hang.]
A lot can happen in six days. You got friends outside? I mean real friends, not just poker playing and howdy-do friends.
No, They're real friends.
Then you still got something left. You know a man comes in here, they take his pride and his pocketbook and they put them in a box in the warden's office. But if you've got friends outside, you've still got something left. Maybe the most important thing, boy.
"You're really letting him get under your skin, aren't you."
"Well, you're not making it any easier for me, making me work with him every day."
"Because he's actin' like a kid is no reason for me to treat you like one."
"You mean to tell me with all the hired hands you've got I'm the only one that can work with Frank?"
"I figure you're the best one to work with Frank."
Anybody here know how to play poker?
Matter of fact, I give lessons.
Now, that's what I like to hear. Why, I got so I know personally every dollar bill in the house. Over here, boys.
So we've uh.. inherited Miss Melissa Wainwright for one week.
Not we!
Now wait a minute!
Me!
Oh.
I don't know what I'd have done if I hadn't skipped out the back of that teepee.
I do. I was captured by those same Indians.
Yeah?
That's right. Just like you I was surprised they didn't kill me, but stuck me instead inside a teepee. And I want to tell you boy, if you hadn't escaped, you'd sure know what they was going to do to ya'.
What's that?
They were going to fatten you up, just like they did to me. Cornbread, Venison Meat, Gravy. I just couldn't figure it. Finally I saw a great big stew pot on the fire. Then I saw it. They was fattening me up to eat me.
How'd you escape?
Well son, I didn't. They ate me.
How about it Stace? Want to come along?
Nah, I've got something more exciting to do.
Yeah? Like what?
You know that patch of grass up on the porch?
Yeah.
I'm going to sit in the shade and watch it grow.
You're going to si-- Well. Alright.
