[Music in]

INDIAN: Ho, sheriff. Very funny. Where's the whiskey? Ha! Ha!

G.W.: Hold it.

JONES: Not so fast, Mr. Boss of the whole country, unless you want to wear a big hole in your middle.

MRS. MCLINTOCK: How long is G.W. gonna let that chee-chalker push him around?

JAKE: That chee-chalker has a sawed-off shotgun.

G.W.: How do you know she didn't wander off someplace or meet some fella' or somethin'?

JONES: What are you sayin'? That I didn't raise my girl right? That she'd wander off all night with some man?

G.W. There's a lot of things I'm not sayin' to you, mister, while you got a sawed-off shotgun in my middle. But how do you know this Indian had anything to do with it?

JONES: She's gone, ain't she? She's gone.

MILLIE JONES: Pa! Pa! I'm over here. Pa!

Been looking for me, Pa?

JONES: Where you been girl?

MILLIE JONES: Young Ben took me for a sunrise ride, and the horse wandered away.

[Laughter]

JONES: You come down off of there.

MILLIE JONES: But Pa!

YOUNG BEN: She's tellin' the truth, Mr. McLintock. We weren't doin' nothin'.

G.W.: Well that's not important right now. Important thing is that you don't draw that hog leg, or this'll be worse than Dodge City on Saturday night.

MILLIE JONES: But Papa.

JONES: You get on back in the wagon. I'll tend to you later. Now for this young whippersnapper.

G.W.: Now, no harm has been done. And young Ben here is one of the nicest boys in the territory. So just put down that shotgun . . .

JONES: I'll teach him to fool with my . . .

G.W.: Now, we'll all calm down.

DRAGO: Boss, he's just a little excited.

G.W.: I know, I know. I'm gonna use good judgment. I haven't lost my temper in 40 years. But pilgrim, you've caused a lot of trouble this morning, might've got somebody killed, and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't!

BRAWLER: McLintock, riders!

INDIAN: Ha! Ha! All right then.

SHERIFF: Hey buster, remember me?

INDIAN: Hello, sheriff, nice party.

AGARD: Do you think you oughta?

MRS. MCLINTOCK: I oughta what?

Why you big . . .

INDIAN: Good morning. Great party.

AGARD: Wait, I want a word with you. Hey, just a minute. What d'y do . . . my glasses. Stop this or you'll be sorry.

Hey!

G.W.: Stay out of this, Jake.

JAKE: It's everybody's war.

INDIAN: Where's the whiskey?

Where's the whiskey? Good fight, good fight.

Ha! Ha!

DOUGLAS: Sorry, Mr. McLintock.

INDIAN: Oh, ho, my friend.

G.W.: Thanks.

G.W.: Oh! Get outta my way.

Nice left.

DEVLIN: Thanks.

DAVEY: And I went to college.

JAKE: For this you don't need college.

DEVLIN: You're not gettin' me in there.

G.W.: Oh!

MRS. MCLINTOCK: You did this on purpose. Why McLintock, you . . .

BUNNY: Good morning to you, Mrs. McLintock.

MRS. MCLINTOCK: Bunny, you big . . . Oh!

G.W.: Oh no!

MRS. MCLINTOCK: G.W., because of you . . .

G.W.: Well, it's pretty hard to control yourself . . .

INDIAN: [Unintelligible] Great party, but no whiskey. We go home.

MRS. MCLINTOCK: You and your friends.

G.W.: Well, we at least saved your hat.

AGARD: Where is everybody? Oh, for heaven's sake.
