"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(GUNSHOT)" "(BIRDS SQUAWKING)" "(VEHICLE APPROACHING)" "All right." "Put the gun down." "After I finish off this cattle killer." "But why are you doing it?" "Is he badly hurt?" "No, just exhausted." "He'll be dead in a minute." "Wait, you're on reserve territory." "You've no right to kill any animal." "I have every right to protect my cattle, and those of my neighbors." "(HEDLEY):" "But this is a young cheetah, not fully grown." "How could he bring down any of your stock?" "Well, maybe not him." "But he's been out in hunts with his mother." "She's taught him how to kill young cattle." " She won't do anymore hunting." " I see." "But you're not gonna kill him." "I'm taking him to Daktari." "Mr. Caldwell, you're being melodramatic and acting like a fool." "Now, put that gun down and help me to make a cage for this poor little fellow." "You may be the law in this reserve, Hedley, but I think my Ranchers' Association has a little more pull with the governor than you and Daktari." "I'm going to use your radio." "Ed Caldwell calling Naguru." "Ed Caldwell calling Naguru." "Come in, Naguru, come in." "Ed Caldwell calling Naguru." "Ed Caldwell calling Naguru." "Come in." "Yes, well, all right, I know." "But next treatment is tomorrow." "Yeah, you're all fine." "You're coming along just fine." "So run along." "Mm-hm?" "Yeah." "I know." "I love you too." "Let's go along. ok." "(JUDY CHITTERING)" "Well, it looks like you have another patient." "Judy, I examined Edgar yesterday." "Look, Judy, will you stop playing nurse and stop bringing me healthy patients?" "Ok, Edgar." "You run along and play now." "That's a boy." "(VEHICLE APPROACHING)" "(GROWLING)" " Hello, Paula." "Marsh." " Hello, Hedley." "Well, Ed, this is a pleasant surprise." "Welcome to Wameru, Mr. Caldwell." "Yes, I haven't seen you in quite a while." "How are you?" " Very annoyed." " Oh?" "I'm sorry to involve you, Daktari, but this animal's mother is a marauder." "She's been poaching on our calves for the last 6 months." "Yes, I know." "I've heard of him." "Well, the ranchers delegated me to hunt her down." "I caught up with her." "I was just about to finish off young junior here when Hedley the Humanitarian intervened." "Marsh, we radioed the governor and he's placed the matter in your lap." "In my lap?" "What does he expect me to do?" "Marsh, this animal's mother has taught him how to kill young cattle." "By the time he's full-grown, he could be the lead hunter for a whole band of cheetahs." "Now, the ranchers want him destroyed." "Marsh, I persuaded the governor to give you the opportunity to cure him" " of his cattle-killing instinct." " How do you expect me to do that?" "Marsh, I honestly don't know, but I thought perhaps one of your new experimental approaches." "(SIGHS) Hedley, that's a pretty tall order, I don't know." "I told you, Hedley, that you're wasting your time." " That cat's incurable." " Why don't you put him in a zoo?" "At least he'd be in a cage and, well, he wouldn't be able to harm the cattle." "Yes, Paula, I did radio a few, but they only want perfect specimens." "That scar makes the cheetah an undesirable zoo animal." "Ed, I'll tell you what." "Why don't you leave him with me for a month or so and I'll see what I can do." " Marsh, you have 1 week." " 1 week?" " Yes." " I'm sorry, Marsh, but the ranchers were adamant." "That's all the time the governor would allow." "Well, Hedley, that's an impossible deadline to meet." "I can't work overnight miracles." "Then I'll kill the animal right now." "(CHITTERING)" "(GROWLING)" " Get out of the way." " Ed!" "Wait a minute, Ed." "You know that neither Hedley nor I are going to let you kill that animal." "That cat's a killer and I'm gonna do something about it." " I'll do something about it." " Like what?" "(MARSH):" "Like, I'll take that week that you offered." "That isn't enough time." "Now, I'm sure Mr. Caldwell can convince the other ranchers to give you more time." "I'm sorry. 1 week." "The ranchers feel the same way I do about it." "We have a right to protect our cattle." "They're our livelihood." "Besides, you've got the governor to deal with." "He's right, Marsh." "As I said, the governor set a time limit of 1 week." "Well, maybe I can convince the governor to give me some more time." " (ED):" "I can promise you he won't." " You seem pretty sure of that." " I am." " Paula, the Cattleman's Association is a very strong organization and wields a lot of power." "Took a bit of doing to get that 1 week." "Yes, I see." "Well, Ed, I just want you to know that I do understand." "Well, I'm sorry, Marsh." "Hedley, get that cat unloaded and take me back to my car." "Hedley, uh, would you drive him around and put him in that 10-by-10 cage over there?" "All right." "(TRUCK ENGINE STARTS)" "I just don't understand that Mr. Caldwell." "He could talk to the ranchers into leaving the cheetah alone and he could easily persuade the governor." "He's probably the most powerful and respected rancher in this territory." "Was." "No, after his wife and 2 sons were killed in that plane crash, well, naturally, he became pretty embittered." "Ever since then, he's been spending all his time" " hunting in the free area." " Yes, that was a tragedy." "Must've come as an awful blow to him." "Well, it changed him completely." "Even let his ranch go to pot." "Frankly, I wish there was something I could do for him." "I'm sure he has reasons for being bitter, but I know he's wrong about that cheetah." "Dad, do you think you'll be able to cure him?" "(CHUCKLES) I don't know, I suppose there's a chance." "But if we can't cure him, perhaps we could set him free." "Oh, now, you know better than that." "Well, they'd-- they'd put a bounty on his head" " and hunt him down as a marauder." " (SIGHS)" "We let him settle down for today, because tomorrow, we're gonna have to see if we can change a killer's instincts." "(HOOTING)" "(GROWLING)" "You know, he looks just like the Amira's racing cheetah, Kimbya." " Yes, he does at that." " (PURRING)" "Why don't we call him Kimbya, or Kim for short?" "All right, fine." "Kim it is." "Well, I guess the first thing we better do is verify his instinctual behavior." "Well, why can't we take Mr. Caldwell's word for it?" "Because, Paula, we are supposed to be the investigating scientists." "Now, write this down, hm?" "Subject, cheetah, was placed in an isolated pen at 8:07, unfed." "All right, Jack, you can bring in Sam now." " Ok." "Come on, Sam." " (COW MOOING)" "Come on, boy." "Come on." "Ok." " (GROWLING) - (MOOING)" " (COW MOOING) - (ROARING)" "(ROARING)" " (CHEETAH GROWLING) - (HOOTING)" "Stop him, Dad." "He's gonna scare Sam half to death." " Ok, Jack." "Drop it." "Hm?" " (CHEETAH GROWLING)" "Here, Sam." "Take it easy, boy." "Take it easy." "We're not gonna let that cat hurt you." "Ok, uh, let's, uh, let's get Sam out of here and bring in Suzie, huh?" "Right." "Come on, Sam." "Back to cow country." "You're a little grumpy, nobody's gonna mind." " Easy, Kim." " (GROWLS)" "Whose side are you on now?" "Well, he's a cheetah, he can't help what he is." "Well, then, you agree with Ed Caldwell, huh?" "I don't know." "But it isn't his fault that his mother's trained him to be a cattle killer." "Anyway, why can't we just feed him?" "Because I want him hungry and alert for natural food on the hoof." "Come on, Suzie." "Come on, Suzie." "Come on, girl." "Come on." "That's a girl." "Well, antelope and zebra are natural prey for cheetahs, so he should go after Suzie like food is going out of style." "(PURRING)" " (zebra GRUNTS)" " Ok, Jack." " Let's have a try with Suzie." " Ok." "(zebra SQUEALING, GRUNTING)" "(PURRING)" "(HOOTING)" "(PURRING)" "Kim isn't going after Suzie the way he did Sam." "Uh-huh." "He sure isn't." "Ok, Paula." "Make a note." "The subject, cheetah, is not aroused by the presence of zebra." "Obvious that cattle killer instinct still dominates his behavior pattern." "All right, Jack." "Lower away." "Oh, and Jack, please thank Suzie for being such a willing volunteer." "There." "Take it easy, Suzie." "There, now that wasn't so bad, was it?" "Huh?" "And you might give her some extra feed, since we scared her half to death." "Yeah, I know that's a tough-looking cheetah, but he's not gonna hurt you." "He's got kind of a diet problem." "Come on, girl." "A little extra food." " (PURRING) - (HOOTING)" "Oh, here comes Ed." "Ed, we're over here." "Come on over." " Well, how are you this morning?" " Fine, thanks." " Good." " Good morning, Mr. Caldwell." "Good morning." "How's the experiment coming." "Well, we're, uh, we're just getting started." " So it's a little hard to tell yet." " Oh?" "Not for me." "Even from a distance, I can tell that that cat was still a killer." "I wanted to observe you in your natural environment." "A killer cheetah and animal psychologist at work," " uninhibited by visitors." " (CHUCKLES)" "Well, as long as you're here, why don't you join us for the day." "Sure, why not." " (CLARENCE GROWLING) - (HOOTING)" "I've, uh, given him a name, Mr. Caldwell." " We're gonna call him Kim." " Kim, huh?" "(PURRING)" "Yeah, I guess he doesn't like me very much." "Can't say that I blame him." "After all, I killed his mother." " Yes, I wish you hadn't done that." " What else could I have done?" "Well, you could've called me and I could have gone out and tranquilized her." "I had every legal and moral right to kill that marauding animal." "Besides, you got something more important to do right now." "From where I sit, that cat is still a killer, and he'll be a killer till the day he dies, 6 days from now." "What's Judy doing?" "I guess she must feel sorry for Kim, so she brought him some food." "Well, thank you, Judy." "That was very thoughtful of you." "(JUDY HOOTING)" "Yeah." "We can give her something, huh?" "(PURRING, GROWLING)" "(HOOTING)" "Dad, what's wrong with him?" "Why won't he eat?" "Well, Paula, he's been trained to only eat a fresh kill out in the bush." "I'm afraid he's not adjusting very well to being penned up." "Marsh, I don't think you're gonna have to worry about killing that cat." "Looks to me like he'll die of starvation." "(CHITTERING)" "(SQUAWKING)" "(JUDY CHITTERING)" "(CLARENCE GROWLS)" "(CHITTERING)" "Very good, Clarence." "Oh, yeah, his eyesight's improving, all right." "He blinked." "Or it might have been a fly on his eye." "Ok, Judy, if you please, show Clarence the calf." "(CHIMPS CHITTERING)" "(GROWLING)" "Hey, Clarence." "Come on." "Don't turn away." "(GROWLING)" "Clarence, it's over here." " Clarence!" " Judy, listen." "Go shake up Clarence and tell him we need his reaction to a cow." "It'll help Marsh in his experiment with Kim, huh?" "Go ahead." " (GROWLS) - (CHITTERING)" "Ok, I know when I'm licked." "Ok, Clarence, that's all for now." "We need you to do a little bloodhound work in the bush." "Come on, boy." "Come on, boy." "(CHITTERING)" "(CHITTERING)" "Come on, Clarence." "Come on, you're going for a ride." "Come on!" "Now, come on you" " Come on!" "Scoot him in." "(JACK LAUGHS)" " That is one lazy lion." " Here, I got it." "That ought to hold you for a while, anyway." "(VEHICLE APPROACHING)" " Morning, Marsh." " Good morning, Ed." " Fellas." " Hi, Ed." "Hey, where are you taking old Clarence?" "Well, we're taking him back to the place where you killed Kim's mother." "What do you expect to find there?" "Well, Marsh thinks we can find other members of the same family." "Uh, yes, you see, Ed, I was thinking that-- (CLEARS THROAT)" "Well, if this cheetah that you shot trained Kim to kill cattle, she might have trained Kim's brothers and sisters as well." "But Kim was her only cub." "Uh, yes, possibly, but, uh, don't forget that in a hunting family, well, you have aunts and uncles and nephews." "So we're going out to see if Kim has any bloodthirsty" " cousins racing around." " Well, fine." "Destroy them all." "You'll be doing the ranchers a big favor." "Ed, if we do find any of them, we have no intention of destroying them." "We're just hoping they'll give us some kind of a clue" " so that we can help Kim." " (PAULA):" "Well, here you are, fellas." "Picnic lunch and dinner, compliments of the Wameru catering service." " Well..." " One day of delicious food," " and then you're on your own." " Thanks, Paula." "Looks very good." "A-ha!" "You didn't forget Clarence." "Well, I'd never forget him." "Ragu of ox bone, a là Paula Tracy." "Just for you, Clarence." "How long you fellas expect to be out there?" "Well, it'll take rest of the week if we're gonna check all the waterholes." " Which means we better get going." " Mm." "Here, I'll put this up front." " Clarence might change his diet." " Good idea." " Would you get this, ma'am?" " Sure." " So long." " Have a good trip." " Ok." " Bye-bye." " Bye-bye." " (ENGINE STARTS)" "Well, Ed, I, um, I wish you'd drop around more often." "It's kinda nice to see you." "You should get out and see some people occasionally." "Well, I" " I might just do that." "Besides, uh, I promised the Ranchers' Association a progress report on your work with Kim." "Well, before you get involved with the problems of the day," " how about a cup of coffee first?" " Fine, that'd be a good start." " Good, come on in." " Good." "(CHITTERING)" "(CHITTERING)" "(PURRING)" "The memory of my wife and kids bothers me." "I see them at the ranch, the places we visited, wherever I go." "I guess there's just 1 thing for me to do, that's to sell out." "Leave here and leave Africa." "But if you leave Africa, where will you go." "I don't know, I-- travel, I guess?" "Back to the States?" "I really don't have any goals." "I feel like a log in the river." "Well, Ed, um, who'll take over the Ranchers' Association?" "You've been their mainstay for years." "That's their headache." " (CHEETAH GROWLING)" " That's Kim." "(CHEETAH ROARING)" "Boy, he sure wrecked that make-believe calf." "Eh, he's still a cattle killer." "Well, at least that device got him to eat." "When did you rig it up?" "(CHUCKLES) Frankly, it's as much of a surprise to me as it is to you." "It's part of Mike's and Jack's eye test for Clarence." "Sure, they must have done this before they left and forgot to tell us." "(CHITTERING)" "Hey, Dad, this solves your feeding problem." "Well, it sure worked, but what does it prove?" "Well, it proves that Kim can be trained to eat." "Now, we'll just wait until he's good and hungry again and then we'll substitute that cardboard zebra." "Oh, I see." "You think you can transfer Kim's killing instincts from cattle" " to wild game, like other cheetahs." " We'll find out in the morning." "I hope it'll work." "You know, I'm beginning to like the little fella." "I tell you what." "Why don't you stop by in the morning" " and see what happens?" " Do you think it will work?" "(LAUGHS) I really don't know." "All we can do is try." "That's the name of the game, you know." "Experimentation, trial and error." "But surely you can give me an educated guess." "Yes." "My educated guess is that I doubt if he can change a habit pattern that's been engrained in him since birth." "But at least we found a way to make him eat, and by allowing him to make his own kill." "Marsh, just what chance is there of affecting a cure in the short time we have left?" "None." "Practically none." "(CHEETAH GROWLING)" "(ROARING)" "Yeah, I know." "I guess you got a right to hate me." "Come on, bite, chew, get the heat out of your system." " Pretend it's me." " (CHITTERING)" "What's the matter?" "Is your head cold?" "(HOOTING)" "What are you doing, Ed?" "Harassing the animals?" "I wasn't harassing him." "I was just trying to find out what makes him tick." "Well, if you're interested in animal psychology, we can always use an extra hand around here." "Well, I'm not interested in that kind of monkeyshines." "Well, we treat a lot of other animals besides monkeys, you know." " Come on, I'll show you." " What do you mean?" "Just follow me." "(CHITTERING)" " You're going to go in there?" " Yes." "I certainly am." " I hope you know what you're doing." " Oh, I think so." "You see, cheetahs have many characteristics similar to a dog." "They can be tamed very, very easily." "There you go, Ed." "Come on in." "He's really quite gentle once you get to know him." " Are you sure it's all right?" " Well, sure it's all right." "Well, after all, he's a-- he's a cattle killer." "Well, then he won't hurt you." "Here." "You can even lead him around." " What do you mean?" "Like a dog?" " No, like a proud cheetah." "Oh, no, no." "The fellas down at the Cattlemen's Association would think I was drinking jungle juice." "Oh, I don't think so." "Here." "Give it a try." "Go ahead." "(GROWLING)" "Uh." "Uh, here." "Ok." "Say, Ed, um, why don't you stay overnight with us." "Tomorrow morning I'll be continuing my experiments with Kim" " and you could give me a hand." " No, that's your work." "I have a long way to go home and I want to get some sleep." "Well, sleep here." "There's plenty of room." "Well, I'd keep you awake all night, uh, walking the floor." " Say goodbye to Paula for me." " Yeah, sure." "You know, he is a cute little fella." "Yeah, nice work, Kim, yes." "Nice work." "You're just doing fine, boy." "You're just doing fine." "Hey." "Hey." "Listen, I said you could wear my hat, not beat it to death." "Say..." "(SIGHS)" "You know, it's, um, turned out to be quite a beautiful day." "And what are you so cheerful about?" "What?" "I seem particularly cheerful?" " Well, then optimistic." " Well, you might say that." "You know, it's really quite amazing." "Kim is certainly a remarkably gentle animal." "You think your experiment with Kim will work?" "Well, I hope so." "I'm betting that cheetah's life it'll work." "(BIRDS SQUAWKING)" "(GROWLING)" "(MIKE SIGHS)" "Clarence, why don't you go to sleep?" "The fire will keep the predators away." "(ELEPHANT TRUMPETING)" " (PURRING) - (JACK MUMBLING)" "(CONTINUES MUMBLING)" " Jack." "Jack, wake up." " What?" "What's the matter?" "You have a nightmare?" "I guess so." "Something about Clarence's eye exercises." " (GROANS) - (SIGHS)" "Oh, I hope I never become that dedicated to zoology." "Clarence, can you imagine wasting a dream on eye exercises?" "You must be cracking up." "Ok, go ahead, let's see what happens." "Come on, Judy." "Well, Kim, old boy, you should be good and hungry." "Here you go." "Come on." "(GROWLING)" "Oh, come on." " (JUDY CHITTERING)" " I don't know, Judy." "Maybe we should put the bowl inside the cage." "Now, look." "Judy and I brought this especially for you." "You've got to eat something." " Any luck?" " Negative, Dad." "He simply won't eat." "Hm... (VEHICLE APPROACHING)" "Morning, Marsh." "Well, hello, Ed." "You look a little tired." "Did you get some sleep last night?" "Uh, not very much." "Uh, how's the experiment coming?" "Well, you're just in time to see for yourself." "Come on." "(CHEETAH PURRING)" "(JUDY CHITTERING)" "(HOOTING)" "(GROWLING)" "No, Marsh, it isn't going to work." "Believe me, I'm sorry." "I hoped it would." "Ed, it looks as if you're right." "You don't supposed you could talk the ranchers" " into changing their minds, do you?" " No, not a chance." "In this cage, uh, well, Kim's almost a pet." "But on the outside, that's something else again." "We're just gonna have to face the facts." "Kim is a cattle killer and I'm afraid I can't cure him." "Dad, you can't give up." "Paula, it's not a question of giving up." "The governor's ordered Kim's death, there's nothing I can do about it." " Oh, sure." " Well, excuse me, Ed." "Paula." "Paula." "How can you be so callous?" "If that was Judy or Clarence, you'd do everything you could to protect them." "Now, listen here, young lady, I want you to understand one thing." "I am doing what I think is right." "And I expect you to respect that fact." "Now, is that clear?" "(CHEETAH GROWLING)" "Boy, you've got to try harder." "Yeah." "(CLICKING TEETH)" "That's right." "You do what Judy tells you." "You've got to learn to leave cattle alone." "You've got to learn to-- to chase after wild animals, like-- like other cheetahs." "Don't you understand?" "Well, if you don't do it, uh, I'm gonna have to kill you." "(CHITTERING)" "Look, boy." "God put you on this good, green earth for a purpose:" "to live, to be a fine animal, maybe a champion racer." "So you've got to fight." "Come on, don't give up the race." "(HONKING HORN)" " Morning, Marsh." " Morning, Ed." "Thanks for coming over so quickly." "Well, I'm sorry I was out when you called." "We were having a meeting of the Rancher's Association." "Oh." "What'd they have to say about me this time?" "Well, frankly, they think you're stalling." "Well, they're concerned about the possibility of Kim escaping" " and leading an attack on the herds." " Hm..." "How's it coming?" "Is there, uh, anything new in the experiment." "No, uh, no, not so far." "Ed, I, uh, I've come up with a new approach, and, um, well, I'd like to have your help on it." "Well, aren't Mike and Jack back yet?" "No." "No, not yet, the cheetahs they were tracking have moved on and now the fellas are out of radio range." "Hm." "Well, Marsh, uh, I know you know your business, but, uh, well, wouldn't Paula be a better assistant than me?" "I'm just an old cowhand." "I don't know anything about wild animals." "Well, if they were smaller animals, of course I'd use Paula, but, um, well, this involves Kim and, uh, frankly he's just a little too rough for her to handle." "What do you have in mind?" "Well, Ed, you remember how we failed with the zebra." "Well, the thought occurred to me to just take that 1 step further by putting the scent of calf on the cardboard zebra." "Well, what would that accomplish?" "Well, it might stimulate Kim to attack the cardboard zebra." "Now, if he does, then we substitute the real zebra in the adjoining cage and see what his reactions are to a live prey." "Marsh, you really think you can make it work?" "You haven't any time left." "Yes, I know Ed and, well, I must confess, it's a long shot, but, well, it's the only shot I have." " All right." "Let's give it a whirl." " Good." " (CLARENCE GROWLING)" " Mike, take a look at this." "Hm." "Well, that does it." "All adults." "Little Kim doesn't have any brothers, sisters, or cousins out here." "Marsh should have realized that in the first place." "Yeah, well, we might as well pack up and get home." "(VEHICLE APPROACHING)" "Hello, chaps." "Have you seen any young cheetahs about?" "Marsh has been trying to get in touch with you." "Not a one, Hedley." "And this is the end of the trail." "How's Marsh's experiment going with Kim?" "He's just been on the radio to me about it." "Then he found something?" "I'm afraid Marsh couldn't produce any instant miracles this time." "He asked me to have you bring this in." "You'll notice it's not a dart rifle." "Mm-hm." "Look, Marsh, suppose you put in a personal call to the governor." " He might give us a reprieve." " Sure, Marsh." "If they give stays of execution to hardened criminals," " why not to an innocent cheetah?" " Well, the point is, he's not considered innocent." "I'm afraid that, um, Ed and I have just used up our last resort." " (CHITTERING)" " Ah, look." "The one reason we've been able to get along with our neighbors is because we've always kept our word." "We've been fair." "Oh, Marsh, we're certainly not doubting your motives" "Well, I gave my word to the ranchers that I respect their deadline." " But you could ask for an extension." " No, I can't." "I agreed to that deadline and the time is up." "Kim has to go." "Dad, I could keep Kim." "I'd take good care of him." "Now, Paula, you know the ranchers would never agree to that." "Look, if we go back on our word now, why, they'll never trust us again." " Isn't that right, Ed?" " I'm afraid so." "If Daktari doesn't take care of Kim today, the ranchers will do it themselves." " (SIGHS) - (CHITTERING)" "Well, then shall I go get Kim?" "Uh, no, Jack." "Um, Ed, would you mind getting Kim for me, please?" "I'd like to have a little chat with my sentimental daughter here and with my staff." "(PURRING)" " (CHITTERING) - (GROWLING)" "Now, listen, Paula." "(SIGHS) Look, I know what you're all thinking." "But have you ever examined our budget for animal care and feeding?" " But Dad!" " Well, the ranchers pay the taxes" " that support our study center." " Oh, big deal, taxes." "That's right." "As a matter of fact, we have a very deep obligation to Ed and his associates." "Does that also include the obligation to kill for them?" "Now look, Jack." "I am not gonna debate the question of capital punishment with you." " (PURRING) - (CHITTERING)" "Hi, Kim." "Yeah." "You know, something's wrong somehow, your having to die so young." "But that's the way it is." "There are certain rules." "I have to live with them and you have to die with them." "You know, we're 2 of a kind, you and me." "Born losers. (CHUCKLES)" "Ah, it's a cruel world, Kim." "(SIGHS) You know, you're a cute little fella." "We could be good friends." "I wish your mother hadn't taught you how to-- how to kill young cattle." "Yeah." " (PURRING) - (CHUCKLES)" "Yeah." "All right." "Let's take a walk." "What do they call it?" "The last mile?" "Hm." "Come on." "Come on." "Judy, take it easy now." "Come on." "(WHIMPERING)" "Here, I'll tie him up." "Come on, Kim." " (GROWLS) - (CHITTERS)" "Oh!" "Ed..." "I'm afraid I'm not quite up to this." "I think you better do it." "(CHITTERING)" " (HOOTING) - (GROWLING)" "(HOOTING)" "I can't go through with it." "(CHITTERING)" " What's the matter, Ed?" " I don't think that Kim should die." "But you promised to get rid of him." "But the Ranchers' Association is my creation." "I took them from nothing and built them up to where they are." "They'll listen to me." "And so will the governor." "Yes, but you're overlooking the most important problem." "If you don't kill Kim, what'll happen to him?" "I'll" " I'll take him to live with me." "Uh, I'll keep him penned up." "And then maybe someday, with your help, uh, we'll be able to teach him not to kill the cattle." "Well, it's possible, isn't it?" "Yes, I think it's possible." "I think anything is possible if you want it bad enough." "I thought you were gonna leave the country and sell your ranch." "I changed my mind." "Well, you said you were lonely out there." "Well, Kim will take care of all that." "I think he really likes me." "We'll be good for each other." "Come on, Kim." "Let's go home." "Hey, Ed, I'll tell you what." "I'll come over and give you a hand on my days off." "Uh, few and far between, though they may be." "So will I. Together, we should work something out." "Mr. Caldwell, thank you." " (CHITTERING) - (CLARENCE GROWLING)" "We'll give you a hand, Ed." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Well, I'm debating whether to kiss you or slug you." "Why?" "What have I done?" "Well, all you did was use that psychology of yours." "You maneuvered Ed Caldwell into reaching out for Kim as his own." " Oh, well, it was just plain luck." " You planned the whole thing." "Sent the boys out in the bush so that Ed would have to help you with Kim." "Not to mention the stunt with the rifle." "What's with the rifle?" "Or this shell, which is obviously empty." " (CLEARS THROAT) Oh, yes, uh" " That's all right, Dad." "It worked." "Yes, it did." "By George, it certainly did." "And let's just hope it stays that way." "For Ed's sake, as well as Kim's, hm?"
