JOHNNY CASH IN AN EPISODE WAGON TRAIN 1956

Come on, let's not waste the whole day on this, oh dear child, beyond the sweet and kind things while we pose. I think I'm going to cream a little. You won't fall again, will you, but I'm wobbly. It's Hardy, will you get married? Yo Charles, what if she says yes? Nobody has done it yet. You know, one of these days they'll catch you. Well, if I do, I hope she's the one who kicked me. I don't think she has time. You know, the older people are crazier than a Hornet. He expected a male journalist. I tell you that I never agreed to take a journalist.

Is this your signature or just my signature, but you distorted the facts, you told me that you were sending a journalist. I don't agree with you. . I said I would send a reporter and I did. You said you'd send a CL Hardy. Now it never occurred to me or anyone else that you would send a woman to do a man's job that the world feels. She hides as well as any male staff reporter and she gets what she gets. I don't care what she gets, she needs someone to take care of her. You're still next to Miss Hardy, listen to me, there's nothing personal in this, no prejudice ever claims to be impersonal I don't have a prejudice bone in my body, well, I like women in their place and a woman's place is in the hole damn that thing is our temple honor your mother but never let it be said she has a brain just leave my mother out of this you're out of the Middle Ages major Evan don't talk to me like I I couldn't talk to you at all mr.

Ellington, could you take my car off the line? I would prefer to take another trip. Don't wait a minute. Sorry, it didn't work. The CL series would have given you good publicity. The Jonah Grant

train

leaves in about three weeks. Isn't that right, Jonah, graduate? Well, you can't send a woman alone with Jonah Grant, Major Adams, why don't you tell CL you're sorry for getting off on the wrong foot? I say I'm sorry, Jonah Grant. a law against women's mail intolerance, are you clearing your throat at me, Major Adams, Miss Hardy? I'm sorry, you see, I didn't expect rather, I did expect well, no, you'll see when, well, then, when I found out, well, naturally, anyone would be anyone. would work Oh damn, you know damn well what I'm trying to tell you, no, so far I don't, you've been completely inarticulate.

I was not expecting a woman, you were considered unpleasant, intolerant and completely unpleasant, yes ma'am. Why shouldn't a journalist be a woman? Because a woman should not be alone in the world. That's why I am. Where does she belong? In the cold room. Maybe some of them should be yes. Oh, Major Adams, be practical. A woman requires. clothes food accommodation now all those things cost money and there are only certain ways a woman can make money I have chosen an honorable profession a woman should get married and let her husband support her haha ​​what a splendid archaic and moth-eaten sentiment, Miss Harding, the world It's been turning on that feeling for quite some time, maybe you all have a musty world, but not mine.

What do you have against getting married? Absolutely nothing. I just don't believe in getting married to have a bed and thinking that knowledge is completely without love. dishonest I'm sorry every time I open my mouth it seems like I put my gobbler in and put it in I'm sorry I'm sorry why were you looking for me did you come to say goodbye no but apparently I said it what did you want? I mean, I ask you to stay with us. You see, maybe there are some things I can learn about women, particularly women like you. Maybe you know that women have just emerged from the Middle Ages and iron.

I'm afraid sometimes our sex gets the better of us. we, despite our high ideals, a good journalist never resigns in a fit of temper I can't leave now friends are talking and the last time was the morning when the shouting cars sounded like a bugle call and we were on our way there were a hundred schooners of the prairie and more than twice as many inhabitants a town on wheels a small community heading west we traveled through days and days of rain our wheels sank deep into the mud of the prairie the land stretched empty and endless beyond everywhere we started To feel small and insignificant, the wind said it was strong against us and stole everything it could tear from our cars, but somehow we moved forward day after day, week after week, maybe I better give it a hand , she's doing well, we'll be in H Hollow.

Tomorrow night the Indians in this part of the country are generally very friendly, but they still have a good eye for finding a good horse or mule, so I want you to stay close to camp if you go out on the

wagon

side. We're probably going to have some trouble finding it, just keep that in mind, what if good night friends, good night? Oh, it's certainly hard, your self or our letter, they're not going to fall in love again or maybe they're just a little bit of a hero. -adoration I guess I never knew how to drag it you're too romantic it's spring I'll take a dose of sulfur and molasses where's the boss?

She said she was going to travel to the back of the

train

I think she was going to interview someone who surely knows a wonderful job to be nosy she is a journalist she doesn't end up in trouble you take my word for it women can't go around sticking their noses in and everything without get in trouble see you again she's very capable looks like we've got a couple of young bucks following us you better go back and see if you can find out what they love there what they said what they said they want to buy me what you said I asked them how much they were willing to pay but how angry you can't sell me to the Indians they offered a very good price and I'm about to accept it you disobeyed my orders I didn't disobey the orders and they won't shoot me for that thing you were doing on that hill looking at an Indian funeral coffin Well, maybe you'll have the chance to see many of them firsthand.

You are responsible for my safety only as long as you obey my orders. You said not to leave the side of the car and I kept the Train inside through which pair of binoculars. I'm going to inform my editor, you can't intimidate me, listen to me ma'am, you're heading home at the next stop. I am a journalist. My job is to report news, is it your business to create it? You have endangered the lives of everyone in this caravan. What do you think would happen if those Indians returned with a group of their friends? Do you think they will?

Don't know. I know it happened before, I never realized, yes there are a lot of things you never realize and one thing you better start realizing is that you are a woman and very attractive and you can't walk around expecting everyone to Men treat you like one. of the boys yes sir older I don't think I should talk about you shut up or I'll sell you to the Indians they often did anything for me you think she's quite old yes no I don't know, I never thought about that I think he thinks they're all pretty, right?, only women, he's not a woman, she's a journalist, yeah, she keeps forgetting you, but I bet she writes different managuas about you tonight, well, she better be very careful what she writes about me.

I'm still running this team and don't forget good night, Miss Harding, good night. Just thought I'd stop by and check out those articles he's writing. I thought I'd see, well, we'll get copies of the first paper at the next mailing station. I'd like to see some of them now. No, I'm afraid I couldn't let you do those important articles. Are you writing something you think I won't like? I don't like. I know if you like them or not, apparently you're writing something you think I won't like. Let me see what you're writing right now. No, that's quite impossible.

This is my caravan, but it's not your newspaper. I have all the ones I have. every right to protect the reputation of my train well since I only report the truth the reputation of your train is entirely in your own hands I do not know whether or not you are familiar with the traditions of the Fourth Estate what state the journalistic world may never have heard of press freedom, believe me, it is something that all journalists in the world will fight to the death to preserve and defend. Good evening, Major Adams, we travel deeper and deeper into the heartland of America and arrive at spring.

He rolled out his rug before us and the days were golden and bright the flowers we took the music with us we took the laughter we took the drama the drama of what we had left behind and what we hoped for was beyond the horizon and we took with us too the tears the tears were For those whose dream ended suddenly in the silent land far from California, death has ridden beside us every mile of the way, the silent grave is silent warning of its presence and perhaps because of the moments of sadness, moments of joy seemed happier than any moment.

I have seen Major Seth Adams before, he is a man of great moral strength and purpose, but like all humans, he has his blind spots, he was hiding, he said, you wonder, speak, oh yes, please sit down, Major Adams, do you? It is safe? I haven't forgotten that mousetrap. I'm not likely to forget it. Well, I'm sure you're the kind of man who enjoys a joke. I guess I enjoy it more when it's about someone else. I like you for admitting that I probably think I'm an old fossil with a terrible temper, don't you think? Well, you have character.

Well, I'm an old fossil. No, no, you're fishing. Yeah, I guess maybe I am. It doesn't occur to me that you are an old man. fossil, except when you act like one, see you, don't mind if I call you CLE, not at all, Seth, let's start over, let's bury the hatchet, we agree and not on each other's backs, not on each other's backs, friends, your eyes are blue. They're color blind, they're green oh yeah, I heard we're having an election Saturday night, that's tough, yeah, for the judge. Jim Appleton says he no longer wants to chair it.

Boxcar trials say he's losing too many friends. Oh, Seth, yes. You just knew what a great opportunity you have right now. Not me, but I'm talking about something much bigger than running for office. I'm talking about a man who comes out of a lightning bolt and throws a director into the heavens. What a Spencer, your name will appear on the front page of every newspaper in the country. Seth Items giving women the vote doesn't have a glorious ring to it. Adams gives women the vote. Well, let them listen, he lets everyone listen. I'll see. 'Everyone sit down, please, sit down, please, come on, let's look at this calmly and rationally, of course, it's the only way to learn, we won't lose our temper, we won't get personal, not completely in prison, the world is the path.

It is and you're not going to change it why not the world is changing all the time our ancestors brought a whole new concept of government to this country now you read the Constitution you bet your boots I read the Constitution and you can't show a place where gives women the right to vote. Wow, if I couldn't think of everything, I'm sure when you think about this you'll agree with me that you're being completely unreasonable, unreasonable, but mother, self-confidence what a monstrous ego we said we wouldn't get personal well, that's it a completely impersonal opinion voting is a man's job everyone says it very well half of everyone is women hey you can't limit democracy to just men I can follow this caravan oh and I thought you were a giant , why aren't you more than, whether you like it or not, this is a man's world, but women are populated, they are not alone, you don't try to populate it just to see how far you get.

Understand, oh, why can't women just be happy being women? We feed you, we close you, you cry, we dedicate our whole life to you, we cook for you, we, men, for you, and what do we receive in return, we are servants, personal housekeepers, housewives without salary. You never kept a house in your house, don't you get personal? That is a strictly impersonal opinion. You're an Idiot. I tell you that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. You are a radical. You are so conservative. You are obsolete. well, well, where are you going? See you, this is your car right here, well then stay off my property, we promised we would bury the hatchet.

Co, don't call me CL, you're talking like a woman now. I'm a woman. You certainly are Oh, oh, I hate Ragan's. I wish I had a door so I could slap it. You know that old saying. The walls have ears. Well, car, then you heard. He is convincing when he gets angry. I can't stand that man. Because? Won't you let me mix a dose of sulfur with molasses to make with the coffin? I threw it away, okay, maybe why are you always arguing, miss hottie, well, just because she's a woman and I'm a man, I don't.

Can you think of a better arrangement? How did you know we argued? Well, they didn't exactly whisper to you. You know why you don't leave our vote. Maybe she's so pretty. Why do not you care? Your own dogs are in business. They call yours. It's more interesting, that's why you're going to the flames, hand over my boys, Saturday night is election night, we have two candidates for judge, one of them, Jed Foley, here, I have a, The rest of you men would think that I would like to run for this official judge, talk to me after thismeeting on Saturday, we will cross into Wyoming territory, we will take refuge in Miller Springs to rest a little and we will have the elections on Saturday night, then we will have a small party wait for the men to have tea separate some things that are very important I want talk to you about tomorrow's round what I'm experiencing alone no one told me anything about a damn meeting this is America the land of the free and the women of the United States are enslaved, we have to stand up and fight in the eighties, this is war.

I have Your attention, please, attention, we have many important things to discuss. They are making so much noise that they are going to scare everyone. Stop, what do you think they're doing there? Oh, it's just water talk, there's nothing to it. what to do with us we will fight right here in the desert we will show them that we are not weak or cowards from now on it is the iron hand in the velvet glove damn it, we really have to go back a lot we won't have to we can bring them to their knees without shooting a shot if we're all together fine how are we going to do it strike ladies strike from now on no cooking or mending no washing and above all no affection but I've only been married for a month well then you should be able to do wonders my husband can't boil water without burning it then we all agree that we go on strike until we get our boat, what are you doing here?

I want to join the movement but you are a man, I am NOT I am a renegade don't let him in he is a spy no I am not I will make the promise welcome to the ranks it is a pleasure to meet a man who does not insist that This is a man's world, I'm from Anne's world, right, but with women in this, ladies, it's your business, aren't you cooking my dinner? women are here women's rights how is it possible that you are in favor of this idiotic idea? Because I'm an impartial man that's why I'm for the underdog underdog my foot you're still a man listen older, I know what it's like to cook a hot stove all day and not be appreciated.

I also know what watches and men are and I rub my fingers to the bone. I never saw fatter, better-fed fingers in my life. Okay, okay, keep it up, bite the hand, I'll feed you. Well, you're biting the hand that pays you, oh, go there and cook my dinner, geez, I'll fire you, listen, major, you can't fire me. I have strength, all the women in the world behind me, women, eh, we'll see. About that hey, it's not very good, give me a little sample, would you? I wish I could meet your Adams, yes, Major Adams, Miss Hardy.

I don't know what you did to Booster, but you turned him against me, well, you did. I didn't make him happy, you can't blame me. He always thought he was happy to limit you. You have ruined a very good cook. Did you ever tell him that he was a good cook? The rooster is paid in gold, not in praise, sometimes the praise is even more. important than the gold Miss Harding I don't know what he said to stir but you better not say it because I'm hungry, I want my dinner and it's his job to get it mr.

Wooster is a high-minded man who believes in justice and has willingly placed his work on the altar of women's suffrage. If you had the same high-minded principles, you would throw his work back in his face. Well, you don't have a legal leg to stand on I refer you to the Constitution I refer you to the Bill of Rights and I refer you back to it you're not even in it we'll be fine you won't be fine no on this issue you will I wouldn't be too sure , no matter what you say or what you see, you have ruined my character, my digestion, you, I was a happy man, you came on this train, I am, you are very bad, we will see. when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political ties that have connected it with another and assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal position to which the laws of nature and earth entitle it.

God of nature. All of these we prove to be governments instituted among men who derive their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, the people have the right to alter or abolish it. Women cannot testify. war, it clearly says here in the Constitution that only Congress will have the power to declare war. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of racial color or previous condition of servitude with firm dependency. In the protection of divine providence we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor, some belt of coffee, yeah, hey, I guess we'd better go down the road almost to pasture and put a bell on that old woody mare who did this.

Well I did, I brought everything I could find, my wife won't tell me where anything sprouted from whatever you found everything, oh sure, it's a stew, dried apples on a stool, look, we're in no position to be demanding, I just don't understand the room, but she is the responsible person, he was always a better father and always obeyed me. In the end everyone turns against you. You know what it is, basically, they just don't like us. No sir. Marilla always liked us and she didn't keep any secrets about it. neither while she told everyone in the whole city and why she let you starve yes Elsa she says it's the beginning I'll tell you what the beginning is the beginning is that they just don't like us, they hate us because we're superior I'm a woman, Honey, you don't need a sign to get to the cross, Frank, please, you can't kiss me, who says so.

Susan B. Anthony. Amelia Bloomer and CL Harding. Oh, they don't even know me. You don't have to know the men, oh yeah, well you've got my vote, no, I've gotta have my own, hey, where you going? We are organizing a demonstration. Oh, Esther, Bill, great, watching a military style, toxic crib is Samantha through the ceiling. your ass some of the horses are stampeding here I'm going to saddle some we'll have to go get them thanks Fox five men Sadler Thanks major, you chose your side Brutus I think he's mad she didn't have to say it all we invested it anyway we've done Same thing, Major Adams, we've been thinking, well, what harm would it do to let them vote.

I'm willing to defend women's rights, you're not going to do anything like that, oh yeah. he is, we are all pants, it's torn, I can't, so I can't wash or iron well, I can't boil water without burning myself a major, I've only been married a month, listen to me guys, he'll come back and they. They'll come back on their knees I'm telling you, have you ever been married? Major, what does that have to do with it? Well, the only time a man can handle women is when he's single. No woman is going to dictate it to me.

I lead this team. Don't tell us, tell them yes, sometimes I think we should have taken that Jonah Grant train, okay? that a helpless woman, that's one kind of danger, I've had enough, you sound to me like you're falling in love, I think CL Harding has you wrapped around her little finger, well, I get elevated just because she's doing so well, I hope be very happy, wait a minute, she doesn't even know I'm alive, at least the way you say she's madly in love with someone else, well she's what makes you call yourself that, our guarantee that because I know everyone the symptoms I've had about myself.

A lot of times, well, what are those symptoms, Charlie? Well the first thing everything gets unbalanced you can't wait, you see someone and then when you see them you say all the wrong things you can touch and listen to a little bit, I can't sleep. You lose your taste for food one minute you're on top of the world and the next minute the world is on top of you it's like being drunk and having a hangover at the same time I'll go away like a dog. I'm so Sorry, sorry about the Stampede, you look a little tired, well, I haven't been sleeping very well either, how's your appetite?

Oh, not very good, I don't know why, but I've been so touching lately. Jump to the same thing with I guess it's all the excitement, yeah I guess, so what's the news from home? Well, it's not a very newsy letter. It's from mr. Ellington Oh, his editor mm-hmm, what does she say about his articles in the newspaper? Nothing, it's not that kind of letter, mr. Ellington has asked me to marry him. I guess if a woman likes some kind of magnet, that's the kind of man she would like. I guess look at the type of man or woman you would like. brilliant man, but I don't know, he just doesn't seem to have any spirit of adventure, he's not the kind of man who, for example, might get excited about what's on the horizon, he already knows exactly what's there because he's hooked it on the library, you know, I have quite a few women out west on these trains and I don't think I've ever listened to any of them.

I mentioned the spirit of adventure. Horizons. They all ordered an entire house for the fence that surrounded it. It had a target. fences Me either, I couldn't live - well, of course, you couldn't, so I couldn't leave him, I guess he could be Mr. Ellington we were talking about oh yeah we were talking about him and I'm sure he's the kind of man who would help women get the right to vote. Oh well, for goodness sake, voting isn't everything. Ycl Harding, what's up with your crusade? about women's rights as you delve into history, well, who cares?

You know what someone once wrote. The happiest women are like the happiest nations. They have no history. Could you be that kind of woman? Could you give up all these things? I've been fighting so hard and for so long today I almost think I can hear what it is that the women in conflict stood up and fired the shot that was heard around the world why she always speaks in quotes Arletta what are you trying to say where are we camped? Adams Miller Springs important territory just across the border on Wyoming liberation day, rejoice, rejoice, I believe she is Turner Bonnet, you are a law-abiding citizen, aren't you, Major Adams, you defend and you defend the laws of the United States and all of it? territories, isn't it?

Yes, ma'am, everything I can in history has her by the coattails. Wyoming Territory just passed women's suffrage. The first women to vote in American history will vote tonight in Seth Adam's motorcade. Well, you got what you asked for. Thank you. I just finished counting the house and you're there. There are 22 more women than men. Come on buddy, no world orders and don't get a headache. Don't let him join, go back to your suffragettes, let's have a victory parade for Franco right after the 14th. We seem to realize what we feel we did. What is the problem?

Late you won the battle, yes, but he is winning a battle worth losing a war. Well, no. It's not what I'm supposed to laugh or cry. I guess we can drink sulfur and molasses. We started from St. Joe 100 cars and more than twice as many people then it was spring and now the rich golden glow of summer surrounds us our cars are no longer so bright or so new the road is treacherous they are not easy to tame nature has deadly enemies to face Every new mile seems to have a new challenge and when fires and floods v2 droughts have done their worst, there are still worse things to come somehow and I, who began this journey to bring you the chronicle of a caravan's journey , I found it was easier. describe at the beginning what it is like now at the beginning I was a spectator but well now my heart is linked to my fellow travelers and the perspective is difficult the Train is no longer a row of prairie schooners for me the Train is more than 200 men women and children advance slowly but surely towards the western ocean their wheels unite the East and the West turning an untamed continent into a nation tomorrow my journey ends in Fort Laramie and I must say goodbye to many people I have learned to love the party will not be easy, I sure hate to see you go, it was Miss Heidi, well I hate to leave, I'll tell you what, I'll never forget you, you're the best friend, the suffrage I've ever had.

Oh, any red butter man we've ever had. I did the same. Thanks Charlie, if you ever need a cookie let me know. Bill, we've got you all packed and ready to go in the morning, ma'am. Thanks Bill, thanks for everything. It has been a pleasure. Good luck. Bye bye. Enough already. Girl, isn't she? Don't you talk about her? Where were you and she needed you for the suffragettes? Charles, I must not pay well, well I have convictions, hey Hannah, do two at Miss Harding's last night, that's the same as any other night, as far as I'm concerned I'll get the letters, not according to Charlie, it is not.

Oh, aren't you going to say goodbye to Miss Harding? You're going to start telling me what to do again. someone will tell you what. what to do you can't eat you can't sleep they are touching you here you also mind your own business and the same thing happens to you I never opened my mouth I will see that your dog yes sir what I say touchy and irritable shut up, it's okay, be an old friend If you want, we'll play a little two-handed, I was the one with the water to play cards, you won't take any of our money, you owe all the Asians tonight.

I'm sure you'll get lucky at cards, you're so determined to be unlucky in love, Arletta, if you don't stop crying you'll float this car, you can't keep your upper lip stiff, just look at thismisery, well, do you cry somewhere? otherwise you are demoralizing, he won't even come to say goodbye, goodbye, after all the past between you, nothing has happened between us eleven, nothing at all, oh yeah, I think that's the problem. I'll do the only thing I do in my time Suddenly it seems like I have a lot to say There seems to be no room There's no time to say it You knew you were leaving today Why didn't you come to say goodbye?

Because? Didn't you do it right? I can't run after you like a big bear where the Raneys know a woman can't be chasing a man because we're not all equal intellectually yeah, but that doesn't change a man's relationship with a woman you still want the whole pie, do you? no?, the position of men and the privileges of women, why do we have to waste? these moments fighting - why not be consistent until the last moment? Last night you said goodbye to everyone on this train except me. Well, I was hoping you'd come see me. I was busy with that train.

Well, I was busy packing. You make me sick. -damn angry, I can't, I can't even see straight. I won't be around anymore to upset her. I guess you're going to marry yours, that's my business, you'll go straight to your Don't you have any idea that I care what you do right? You have no idea that I can't, whether you care what I do or not? They are the most infuriating, infuriating, infuriating woman I have ever had. run through my life well, you're nothing but a stubborn stupid dazed under it, you can't talk to me right now, I can't talk to you at all, Ciel, what the hell, tarnation trip, cecilia Lucinda, Cecilie Lucinda, oh, it sounds old-fashioned, feminine.

Susan Oh, Seth, why did we have to waste all the time? 'Cause I'm a stubborn, dumb old Thunderhead, that's alright, well, it takes one to know, tell me something, do you feel like you're, you're drunk, what's up? hangover, all at the same time yes exactly Jeff, parting lesson, don't you even dare use that word with me in six months I'll be back in st. Joe and you will be there, I mean please be there, yes sir, that's better for you, so I came to the end of my journey and the little town on wheels rolled on a

wagon

, a dream passed by our Caravan winding towards the future, it is hope and fear, sacrifice. and the promises are the past and the future is yesterday the fight towards tomorrow is America on its way west and I know that one day I will follow it because I glimpsed a dream of my own beyond the horizon a man so said so brave that he seemed fill the universe you you
