Have Gun Will Travel was a popular western radio drama series that ran from 1958 to 1960. It debuted as a television series in 1957 and was one of only a few American television programs that paved the way for a radio version. Although the radio show initially featured stories adapted from television, many of the 106 radio episodes were original stories. The stories follow the adventures of Paladin, played by John Dehner.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I promised I'd avoid a gunfight if possible, but it
looks as though it isn't possible. I have one bullet left.
You may draw when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Have gun.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Will Travel, starring mister John Dayner as Paladin, San Francisco,
eighteen seventy five, The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of the man
called Paladin. We go on, mister Paladin, Well, at seven o'clock,
(00:58):
we could have champagne in the lone at eight o'clock.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Dinner at the peacock. Something special.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, I'm intrigued, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And then coach find to Barnaby's for creep Susetta's only
Barnaby prepares the creeps, and after that it'll occur back
here by the fire in the lounge.
Speaker 2 (01:13):

Speaker 4 (01:20):

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Bad news, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Ah, dear lady, forgive me, hey boy, send an answer
to Tom Carter aplene just say I have done little travel.
It's no surprise. To anybody that the attractive and inexpensive
new radios have proved popular. It's no surprise it is
(01:56):
to anyone who listens to CBS Radio. With so much
in the way of music, comedy, drama, variety and news
coming your way every day on CBS Radio, more than
one radio around the house is more than a convenience,
it's almost a necessity for anyone who has a daily routine.
The man of the house wants to come home to
an attractive home and an attractive wife, but household chores
(02:19):
in themselves are rarely inspirational. The smart homemaker is one
who refuses to let her regular responsibilities get her down.
She gets her work done every day, but she gets
her entertainment into She has a radio in the kitchen
as well as the living room. Chances are she has
a portable radio as well to follow her from one
task to another around the house. She knows why the
(02:41):
inexpensive new radios are so popular, and what's more, she
knows the value of CBS radio too.

Possibly Tracy cal Tracy, Tracy, how you gonna let hell
A take over your spot in the show?
Speaker 10 (04:58):
H Morning, I didn't see you command Tracy.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Why don't you answer Breed's question?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well, I just might take your spot for two cents.
I'd run you out of town, pony Bard.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Don't cut your price for me.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Why you peaks around to Carter everybody? I won't talk
to you.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
You too, Tracy Squablin's got to stop.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You find me in the bar.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Come on for sure?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
What was it this time?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Tracy?
Speaker 7 (05:33):
The same thing it always is, mister Carter. Well, wrap me.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
In Buffalo hide Paladin?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Hello, Tom, Hello, you're a sciting. It's a real saying.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Yes, sir, Tracy is mister Palladin. He knew me way
back when I was making honest living. Tracy Calvin.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I've seen you ride, mister Calvert, larry me Wyoming seventy
one when you took the grand prize.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I had a lucky day, mister Pelaman.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
We got pale out of make well.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I'll run along, mister.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
You stick here, Tracy. I got bad trouble and I
want you to handle it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I save your money. Tom. I never saw a man
you couldn't handle.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
It ain't a man that little gal.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I want gentleness, Tom. There's one wild thing. Man will
never civilize woman. And if you mean that one. I'm
afraid there'll be no pleasure in failing that.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Little gall in there happens to be Hello West, twenty
four years old. She's already more of a name and
clamoring to James Simmarron Rose and Bell Star run together.
I got her in my show, and I got damaged
bills to prove it, and I'm gonna lose my shirt
even before I get my show together.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
If something ain't done.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You lose more when you get on the road and there's.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
A million people want to see Llow West, mister Palladin.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Darling of the Frontier, Heart of Gold. Yes, I've seen
the right up.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
She's past with a gun and she can ride last
of Commanche.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
She has to be more than that. Hello West is
a legend, tom a romantic illusion. Your audience will expect
you to bring it to life, and instead you'll produce
a repugnant, grimy faced, loud mouth, little shrewd well.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
I don't figure Ella's as bad as all that, mister Pallad.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
How long have you known her?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
She joined the show last month.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
My question was how long have you known her? Mister Calipern.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
If you don't mind a look in on the stock.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Jersey and Ella was raised in the same part of
the country, learn shooting and riding together.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Let him tamer. He seems to have a personal interest. Now,
dog gone it. We're old time time.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You're talking about making a show horse out of a wild,
mean tempered coat.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now that takes more than tayman.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It means crushing its spirit, rebuilding it from the ground
up with a horse.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The odds attend to one for failure.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I guess I do with any of you.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
So long I could have made a fortune with her.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's why I want ten percent of the entire season's date.
If I succeed, you ain't changed, have you?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I hope that's the compliment.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
He ain't never stealing to ask what you're worth?
Speaker 11 (07:51):
Well, m.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
A all medills say, correct can't till turn.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
Step, can still turnstat It makes good sense when you smoke,
can't can't till turns best.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Of all other brands of mere.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Correct can't taste the best, can't taste.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
The best racers taste them all.
Speaker 11 (08:32):
Direct, can't hel her.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It makes good sense when you smoke, can't.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Oh all lady, tail by correct can't tail turns.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What do you want? Here's mister Palladinella, oh fancy pants.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
You come here to learn you some things.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
You ain't gonna learn me nothing correct.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
My function is to teach you will do the learning.
I quit fair off times you just resigned.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wait just a lasted minute here. If anyone gets runned off,
it's gonna be him.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Go on, Tom, I'll talk to you later. Have been
in a saloon, now, then sit down, Miss west mind
if I smoke.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
No, go ahead, twilighting that cigar now, fancy pants.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That will be two deductions from your wages, the cost
of the cigar and the bullet damage.
Speaker 10 (09:54):
You're kind of a coop on, fancy pants. But you
ain't gonna make no lady out of me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
First, you're not worth two cents to the show as
a l and second, that would be impossible in the
first place.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Why you took my gut.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It'll be less noisy that way. Now sit down, please.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Better.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Although your audiences will expect you to be somewhat different
from the average woman, they will expect certain fundamental manners.
The essence of showmanship is to be different without being up.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Knox, You're a lily livered, fancy talking dude. I'll run
you out of town by morning.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I believe you made the same ridiculous threat to Tracy
Calvy two.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
Tracy said anything to you about me, I'll kill it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There's a ring of honesty in that threat. Miss West. However,
he said nothing. I was merely speculating, are we ready?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He's got something to learn me? I mean, teach me,
then get on with it.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
But keep your nose pully, dude, incorrect.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I gotta eat.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You don't reach with a fork and spear a slice
of bread. You pick it up with you, and you
never speak with your mouthful. Now, it's one thing to
act home spun, it's quite another breed. You wearn't a gun, dude, it's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Quite another to create revulsion.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I suggest you can find your idiosyncrasies to calling the
food littles and complaining over the last you are questioned. Dude,
I heard you, because if you ain't got a gun,
you better get one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm gonna teach you some manners. Drop it, Ella, you've
been tired of this dude for two days. Now, you
like it or something.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
I'm going along because there's money in it, you know,
an easier way breed.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, all right, Ella, If you say the word when
you leave me.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The breed seems to resent me almost as much as
you do.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I can handle breed for you, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
No need, Miss West.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
When the time comes, I'll handle him myself, remember just
but then I'm a newspaper reporter.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
On with it.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Another question, Miss, tell us about your parents.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
My old man was a stinking drunk, and the old
lady was worse.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
She was on talking to reporters.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
Then let him make it up like they've been doing
all along.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Mentioned the homestead.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Homestead, it was a stinking sow pen. You can have
Tracy Calvert. He it was so bad you couldn't believe it.
I'm sorry he couldn't feel so blasted up. If you
got rut up like that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You knew Tracy Calvert then.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yeah, I knew him. We was kids then. His daddy
had a nice spread of land. You should have seen
Tracy's house, all painted inside and out, with a fence
around it. And Tracy's small, starched up and nice. She'd
give me a dress once my old lady traded it
for some whiskey. No, Tracy did laughed if you'd ever
seen me wearing it anyhow, I think I.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Understand huh about you, Tracy Calvin.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Do you now maybe you do that.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
You kind of a strange when you I didn't know
real man came in fancy pants.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
But what I mean is we ain't doing so bad,
are we.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
He's sort of like you.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Everything I was, and Tracy was everything I didn't have
he did when he was real little. His mom let
me stay one night. She come in, pulled the cover
up and kissed me. I was sixteen and he.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Was eighteen when they was gonna move away. Maybe he
wasn't growed up yet, but I was. I mean I
was growed up plenty. I didn't ask Tracy to marry him.
They just take me with him. I'd do anything if
he would.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
He could cut me up in the little pieces if
he wanted to just take me. I never said the
same thing since, but I'm saying it to you. I
ain't what folks think. No man's never touched me. You
take me with you when you go back to San Francisco.
I wouldn't be afraid with you. Maybe just kiss my
cheek and say something nice. I don't want to be
(14:00):
in no show, printed, no paper. I just want somebody
to know I'm alive.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Please, no, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Look at yourself. You're still that grimy sixteen year old
kid pretending she's a man. You don't compete with women
because you're afraid to find a man who wants the
smell of the stables and ask.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Him to take you away. Freed wants me, then.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You and mister Breed deserve each other, and he can
have me just as soon as he kills you. Do
you see speed laws and other regulations as restrictive or
(14:44):
do you look upon them as protective? When a police
officer writes a summons for traffic violations, you'll see him
as an enemy or a friend. Your life may depend
on your attitudes. Statistics clearly indicate that where laws are obeyed,
deaths go down. It's no secret that emotional immaturity is
(15:05):
the major factor in our accident rate. How else but
childish can you describe the notion that breaking a traffic
regulation is a way of getting away with something. What
could be more infantile than believing one can prove his
superiority by ignoring a stoplight. Unfortunately, too many drivers on
the road subscribe to that kind of emotional outlook. The
(15:26):
result is tragic. Almost eighty five percent of all traffic
accidents in America are caused by careless, childish driving. We
hope you know our traffic laws and the people who
enforce them are there to help save your life.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
He's a nasty one, mister. Power them along if you like.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, No, no one I heard you wanted to see me,
mister breed.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Oh yeah, I didn't recognize your first wearing them big
boys clothes.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
You're carrying your play acting too far. This time I
was play acting.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I've shot men for less.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
That's kid talking. We aren't kids anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Shut up, Tracy, You.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Heard the lady. Tracy, shut up and get out. Me
and fancy Pants gonna settle something.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I changed my mind, Bred, I don't want no killing.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Honey.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We made a bargain.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
You're gonna keep it all.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Away, Tracy.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Take her to one sign you barkeep pour five shots
and set them up.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
In the line.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, sir, Oh see, I promised Tim carterright avoid a
gunfight if constantly, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You ain't got no choice, fancy Pants all pardon? Yes?
Good now, then, mister breed, I have one bullet left.
Please draw whenever you're ready. Are you going to draw.
(17:12):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If you aren't going to draw, I suggest that you
find Tom Carter handing your resignation and start traveling now.
Lessons continue at seven, Miss West in my room, please.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Be on time.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Well, I got myself some female clothes cost more genuine bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Kiss, I took a bath too. Well. Come in.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Trace coverts right.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I ain't a woman, I ain't nothing. I'm gold if
you want me to.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're like, very nice. You don't have to say that
it happens to be true. You come off surprisingly womanly
in address.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Stars on me a lot of license and cross ropes
to go underneath.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Is it not considered good taste to discuss undergarments?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
The only thing that threw me was my top notches
with some platting a cap.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
On his tail. I still hate you.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Kind of.
Speaker 11 (18:39):
You.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Then you smile and go ahead. I don't blame you.
Clumsy and I talk ignorant, and I guess a few
yards of self don't hurt the lights of me much.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Some wise man judges by the lady's smile.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
I think I felt better when you was clapping my
knuckles and telling me not to spear my bread.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Golly, that's the first nice thing you said to me
with a woman now dealing with a shaky one.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He's just being kind to me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
A woman needs kindness only when she has no virtues in.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Her I.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wouldn't want you to say anything out of pity.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
God isn't included in the course.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I then, mister Palace and I were holy lovely jumping
towards oh Tray.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Well, well, gosh, what's the matter, Tracy?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Why? Ella?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
I've never seen you in I mean, your hair, your eyes. Ella,
You're a.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Lady, am I track?
Speaker 7 (19:45):
You're sure are, and I'll kill a man who says
you ain't. I'm sorry for what I said to Yell
about not being a lady.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But dog going as you've changed, she changed for you,
mister Kelty.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She'll tell you herself in time.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But you'd like it very much if you just kept
that silly look on your face and kept thinking of
her the lady.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Oh I will, Ella, I swear, I will, honestly what
I do wrong? Did I offend you?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
No? No seed?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Now, Ellen, don't try, mister Paladine, what do I do?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Now?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Take your lady in your arm, and mister Kilvin and
never let her, go, oh, things in Abilene town.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
In Abilene Town, things are going smoothly. And how are
things here in San Francisco smoothly? Specifically, the young lady
I never dined with issues still registered him. Oh yeah, ah,
then will you please take her this note until her I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Bad, I'd do it, but a husband nor life. A
husband she get married two days ago. I mean, but
the Spanish dancer registered today.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Very nice for you. Catch him up for dinner the
Spanish dancer.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Ooh hey, boy, take that note up to the Spanish
dancer with my confidence, same note, same note. No one
we know of approves of wasting money. In spite of that, however,
we Americans are often guilty of wasting our money by
(21:41):
the uses we make of our government facilities. Take the
operation of the post office, for example, mostly out of habit,
many offices and individuals post outgoing mail at the end
of the day. In so doing, they leave post office
employees with too little work to do at other times
of the day. In addition, we forget to include zone
(22:02):
numbers as part of the address. In both ways, we're
slowing down the entire system for delivering mail and adding
to the cost of our postal operation. The problem is
simple enough to solve. Start solving it tomorrow. If you'll
arrange the post letters and packages earlier in the day
and include zone numbers on the return at west as
well as the outgoing address, you'll help our post office
(22:24):
operate more efficiently for you and at less cost too.
Remember for faster, more economical service mail early in the
day and include zone numbers.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Have Gone, We'll Travel.

(23:17):
join us again next week for Have Gun, We'll Travel,
I promised I'd avoid a gunfight if possible, but it
looks as though it isn't possible. I have one bullet left.
You may draw when you're ready.
Speaker 2 (00:26):

Speaker 1 (00:27):

number one for mister Paladin? Soli lady?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
No something, no peacock, no creepy Suzi, no liquors to.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Night wire, Come you go. I know you already parted
wire here.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Bad news, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Ah, dear lady, forgive me, hey boy, send an answer
to Tom Carter aplene just say I have done little travel.
It's no surprise. To anybody that the attractive and inexpensive
new radios have proved popular. It's no surprise it is
(01:56):
to anyone who listens to CBS Radio. With so much
in the way of music, comedy, drama, variety and news
coming your way every day on CBS Radio, more than
one radio around the house is more than a convenience,
it's almost a necessity for anyone who has a daily routine.
The man of the house wants to come home to
an attractive home and an attractive wife, but household chores
(02:19):
in themselves are rarely inspirational. The smart homemaker is one
who refuses to let her regular responsibilities get her down.
She gets her work done every day, but she gets
her entertainment into She has a radio in the kitchen
as well as the living room. Chances are she has
a portable radio as well to follow her from one
task to another around the house. She knows why the
(02:41):
inexpensive new radios are so popular, and what's more, she
knows the value of CBS radio too.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
Here you are you beg you saddling your gear? It's
your hotel right here?
Speaker 2 (03:05):
And what's that?
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (03:07):
Show hold up in town right now.

Speaker 8 (03:13):
H Yeah, the Star Attraction, the Tomahawk, Carter's Wild West.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Show that was kind of frisky at times.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Wouldn't go into the lobby.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
By the pump way.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
If I was you, you wouldn't not without I got
up before breakfast.
Speaker 8 (03:27):
You just might take it into her mind to shoot
them buttons off on that.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
Fancy venture with it.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I'll chance it.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, just just friendly advice, brother, h.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I'd like a room, please? What a room? My name
is Paladin, just America? Hold on?
Speaker 9 (04:13):
Hell up?
Speaker 6 (04:13):
Fun's fun but.
Speaker 10 (04:22):
Fancy pants and that Mandy vans.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
To me no one else.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
You don't need a room, boys, he needs a cake.
I might even buy you a lemon squash later on.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'd prefer whiskey if I felt like drinking, which I
don't say.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
You know who you're talking to I do. I'm elo
Wis and I.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
Can out chew it out riding up cuss.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Any man here. I can out drink you.
Speaker 10 (04:46):
I can out chew you, and I can out.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
Possibly Tracy cal Tracy, Tracy, how you gonna let hell
A take over your spot in the show?
Speaker 10 (04:58):
H Morning, I didn't see you command Tracy.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
Why don't you answer Breed's question?
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well, I just might take your spot for two cents.
I'd run you out of town, pony Bard.
Speaker 7 (05:12):
Don't cut your price for me.
Speaker 6 (05:13):
Why you peaks around to Carter everybody? I won't talk
to you.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
You too, Tracy Squablin's got to stop.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
You find me in the bar.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Come on for sure?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
What was it this time?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Tracy?
Speaker 7 (05:33):
The same thing it always is, mister Carter. Well, wrap me.
Speaker 8 (05:37):
In Buffalo hide Paladin?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Hello, Tom, Hello, you're a sciting. It's a real saying.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Yes, sir, Tracy is mister Palladin. He knew me way
back when I was making honest living. Tracy Calvin.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I've seen you ride, mister Calvert, larry me Wyoming seventy
one when you took the grand prize.
Speaker 7 (05:54):
I had a lucky day, mister Pelaman.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
We got pale out of make well.
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I'll run along, mister.
Speaker 8 (06:00):
You stick here, Tracy. I got bad trouble and I
want you to handle it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I save your money. Tom. I never saw a man
you couldn't handle.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
It ain't a man that little gal.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I want gentleness, Tom. There's one wild thing. Man will
never civilize woman. And if you mean that one. I'm
afraid there'll be no pleasure in failing that.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Little gall in there happens to be Hello West, twenty
four years old. She's already more of a name and
clamoring to James Simmarron Rose and Bell Star run together.
I got her in my show, and I got damaged
bills to prove it, and I'm gonna lose my shirt
even before I get my show together.
Speaker 7 (06:35):
If something ain't done.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You lose more when you get on the road and there's.
Speaker 7 (06:38):
A million people want to see Llow West, mister Palladin.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Darling of the Frontier, Heart of Gold. Yes, I've seen
the right up.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
She's past with a gun and she can ride last
of Commanche.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
She has to be more than that. Hello West is
a legend, tom a romantic illusion. Your audience will expect
you to bring it to life, and instead you'll produce
a repugnant, grimy faced, loud mouth, little shrewd well.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
I don't figure Ella's as bad as all that, mister Pallad.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
How long have you known her?
Speaker 7 (07:04):
She joined the show last month.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
My question was how long have you known her? Mister Calipern.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
If you don't mind a look in on the stock.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Jersey and Ella was raised in the same part of
the country, learn shooting and riding together.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Let him tamer. He seems to have a personal interest. Now,
dog gone it. We're old time time.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
You're talking about making a show horse out of a wild,
mean tempered coat.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Now that takes more than tayman.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
It means crushing its spirit, rebuilding it from the ground
up with a horse.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
The odds attend to one for failure.
Speaker 7 (07:34):
I guess I do with any of you.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
So long I could have made a fortune with her.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
That's why I want ten percent of the entire season's date.
If I succeed, you ain't changed, have you?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I hope that's the compliment.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
He ain't never stealing to ask what you're worth?
Speaker 11 (07:51):
Well, m.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
A all medills say, correct can't till turn.
Speaker 9 (08:11):
Step, can still turnstat It makes good sense when you smoke,
can't can't till turns best.
Speaker 6 (08:22):
Of all other brands of mere.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
Correct can't taste the best, can't taste.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
The best racers taste them all.
Speaker 11 (08:32):
Direct, can't hel her.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
It makes good sense when you smoke, can't.
Speaker 8 (08:51):
Oh all lady, tail by correct can't tail turns.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What do you want? Here's mister Palladinella, oh fancy pants.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
You come here to learn you some things.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
You ain't gonna learn me nothing correct.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
My function is to teach you will do the learning.
I quit fair off times you just resigned.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Wait just a lasted minute here. If anyone gets runned off,
it's gonna be him.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Go on, Tom, I'll talk to you later. Have been
in a saloon, now, then sit down, Miss west mind
if I smoke.
Speaker 10 (09:42):
No, go ahead, twilighting that cigar now, fancy pants.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That will be two deductions from your wages, the cost
of the cigar and the bullet damage.
Speaker 10 (09:54):
You're kind of a coop on, fancy pants. But you
ain't gonna make no lady out of me.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
First, you're not worth two cents to the show as
a l and second, that would be impossible in the
first place.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Why you took my gut.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It'll be less noisy that way. Now sit down, please.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Better.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Although your audiences will expect you to be somewhat different
from the average woman, they will expect certain fundamental manners.
The essence of showmanship is to be different without being up.
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Knox, You're a lily livered, fancy talking dude. I'll run
you out of town by morning.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I believe you made the same ridiculous threat to Tracy
Calvy two.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
Tracy said anything to you about me, I'll kill it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
There's a ring of honesty in that threat. Miss West. However,
he said nothing. I was merely speculating, are we ready?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
He's got something to learn me? I mean, teach me,
then get on with it.
Speaker 5 (10:48):
But keep your nose pully, dude, incorrect.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
I gotta eat.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
You don't reach with a fork and spear a slice
of bread. You pick it up with you, and you
never speak with your mouthful. Now, it's one thing to
act home spun, it's quite another breed. You wearn't a gun, dude, it's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Quite another to create revulsion.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
I suggest you can find your idiosyncrasies to calling the
food littles and complaining over the last you are questioned. Dude,
I heard you, because if you ain't got a gun,
you better get one.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm gonna teach you some manners. Drop it, Ella, you've
been tired of this dude for two days. Now, you
like it or something.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
I'm going along because there's money in it, you know,
an easier way breed.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, all right, Ella, If you say the word when
you leave me.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The breed seems to resent me almost as much as
you do.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I can handle breed for you, dude.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
No need, Miss West.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
When the time comes, I'll handle him myself, remember just
but then I'm a newspaper reporter.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
On with it.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Another question, Miss, tell us about your parents.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
My old man was a stinking drunk, and the old
lady was worse.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
She was on talking to reporters.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
Then let him make it up like they've been doing
all along.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Mentioned the homestead.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Homestead, it was a stinking sow pen. You can have
Tracy Calvert. He it was so bad you couldn't believe it.
I'm sorry he couldn't feel so blasted up. If you
got rut up like that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You knew Tracy Calvert then.
Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yeah, I knew him. We was kids then. His daddy
had a nice spread of land. You should have seen
Tracy's house, all painted inside and out, with a fence
around it. And Tracy's small, starched up and nice. She'd
give me a dress once my old lady traded it
for some whiskey. No, Tracy did laughed if you'd ever
seen me wearing it anyhow, I think I.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Understand huh about you, Tracy Calvin.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Do you now maybe you do that.
Speaker 10 (12:58):
You kind of a strange when you I didn't know
real man came in fancy pants.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
But what I mean is we ain't doing so bad,
are we.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
He's sort of like you.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
Everything I was, and Tracy was everything I didn't have
he did when he was real little. His mom let
me stay one night. She come in, pulled the cover
up and kissed me. I was sixteen and he.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Was eighteen when they was gonna move away. Maybe he
wasn't growed up yet, but I was. I mean I
was growed up plenty. I didn't ask Tracy to marry him.
They just take me with him. I'd do anything if
he would.
Speaker 10 (13:37):
He could cut me up in the little pieces if
he wanted to just take me. I never said the
same thing since, but I'm saying it to you. I
ain't what folks think. No man's never touched me. You
take me with you when you go back to San Francisco.
I wouldn't be afraid with you. Maybe just kiss my
cheek and say something nice. I don't want to be
(14:00):
in no show, printed, no paper. I just want somebody
to know I'm alive.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Please, no, what's the matter?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Look at yourself. You're still that grimy sixteen year old
kid pretending she's a man. You don't compete with women
because you're afraid to find a man who wants the
smell of the stables and ask.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Him to take you away. Freed wants me, then.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You and mister Breed deserve each other, and he can
have me just as soon as he kills you. Do
you see speed laws and other regulations as restrictive or
(14:44):
do you look upon them as protective? When a police
officer writes a summons for traffic violations, you'll see him
as an enemy or a friend. Your life may depend
on your attitudes. Statistics clearly indicate that where laws are obeyed,
deaths go down. It's no secret that emotional immaturity is
(15:05):
the major factor in our accident rate. How else but
childish can you describe the notion that breaking a traffic
regulation is a way of getting away with something. What
could be more infantile than believing one can prove his
superiority by ignoring a stoplight. Unfortunately, too many drivers on
the road subscribe to that kind of emotional outlook. The
(15:26):
result is tragic. Almost eighty five percent of all traffic
accidents in America are caused by careless, childish driving. We
hope you know our traffic laws and the people who
enforce them are there to help save your life.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
He's a nasty one, mister. Power them along if you like.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, No, no one I heard you wanted to see me,
mister breed.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
Oh yeah, I didn't recognize your first wearing them big
boys clothes.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
You're carrying your play acting too far. This time I
was play acting.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I've shot men for less.
Speaker 7 (16:16):
That's kid talking. We aren't kids anymore.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Shut up, Tracy, You.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Heard the lady. Tracy, shut up and get out. Me
and fancy Pants gonna settle something.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I changed my mind, Bred, I don't want no killing.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
Honey.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
We made a bargain.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
You're gonna keep it all.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Away, Tracy.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Take her to one sign you barkeep pour five shots
and set them up.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
In the line.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Yes, sir, Oh see, I promised Tim carterright avoid a
gunfight if constantly, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You ain't got no choice, fancy Pants all pardon? Yes?
Good now, then, mister breed, I have one bullet left.
Please draw whenever you're ready. Are you going to draw.
(17:12):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
If you aren't going to draw, I suggest that you
find Tom Carter handing your resignation and start traveling now.
Lessons continue at seven, Miss West in my room, please.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Be on time.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Well, I got myself some female clothes cost more genuine bucks.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Kiss, I took a bath too. Well. Come in.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Trace coverts right.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I ain't a woman, I ain't nothing. I'm gold if
you want me to.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
You're like, very nice. You don't have to say that
it happens to be true. You come off surprisingly womanly
in address.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Stars on me a lot of license and cross ropes
to go underneath.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Is it not considered good taste to discuss undergarments?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
The only thing that threw me was my top notches
with some platting a cap.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
On his tail. I still hate you.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Kind of.
Speaker 11 (18:39):
You.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Then you smile and go ahead. I don't blame you.
Clumsy and I talk ignorant, and I guess a few
yards of self don't hurt the lights of me much.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Some wise man judges by the lady's smile.
Speaker 10 (18:51):
I think I felt better when you was clapping my
knuckles and telling me not to spear my bread.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Golly, that's the first nice thing you said to me
with a woman now dealing with a shaky one.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
He's just being kind to me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
A woman needs kindness only when she has no virtues in.
Speaker 5 (19:10):
Her I.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Wouldn't want you to say anything out of pity.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
God isn't included in the course.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
I then, mister Palace and I were holy lovely jumping
towards oh Tray.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Well, well, gosh, what's the matter, Tracy?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Why? Ella?
Speaker 7 (19:34):
I've never seen you in I mean, your hair, your eyes. Ella,
You're a.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Lady, am I track?
Speaker 7 (19:45):
You're sure are, and I'll kill a man who says
you ain't. I'm sorry for what I said to Yell
about not being a lady.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But dog going as you've changed, she changed for you,
mister Kelty.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
She'll tell you herself in time.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
But you'd like it very much if you just kept
that silly look on your face and kept thinking of
her the lady.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Oh I will, Ella, I swear, I will, honestly what
I do wrong? Did I offend you?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
No? No seed?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Now, Ellen, don't try, mister Paladine, what do I do?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Now?
Speaker 9 (20:24):
Take your lady in your arm, and mister Kilvin and
never let her, go, oh, things in Abilene town.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
In Abilene Town, things are going smoothly. And how are
things here in San Francisco smoothly? Specifically, the young lady
I never dined with issues still registered him. Oh yeah, ah,
then will you please take her this note until her I'm.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Bad, I'd do it, but a husband nor life. A
husband she get married two days ago. I mean, but
the Spanish dancer registered today.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Very nice for you. Catch him up for dinner the
Spanish dancer.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Ooh hey, boy, take that note up to the Spanish
dancer with my confidence, same note, same note. No one
we know of approves of wasting money. In spite of that, however,
we Americans are often guilty of wasting our money by
(21:41):
the uses we make of our government facilities. Take the
operation of the post office, for example, mostly out of habit,
many offices and individuals post outgoing mail at the end
of the day. In so doing, they leave post office
employees with too little work to do at other times
of the day. In addition, we forget to include zone
(22:02):
numbers as part of the address. In both ways, we're
slowing down the entire system for delivering mail and adding
to the cost of our postal operation. The problem is
simple enough to solve. Start solving it tomorrow. If you'll
arrange the post letters and packages earlier in the day
and include zone numbers on the return at west as
well as the outgoing address, you'll help our post office
(22:24):
operate more efficiently for you and at less cost too.
Remember for faster, more economical service mail early in the
day and include zone numbers.
