Old Yeller (1957) Edit

A beatin' them roots till they're all soft and squishy...

A bunch of bobwhites, and you act like you ain't got the brains

A dog!

A dollar bill Papa had. It's paper.

A little closer.

A little ol' lop eared puppy

A lot of it's mighty fine.

A rough and ready feller

About Arliss and that old, yeller dog.

About your papa. I guess he's eaten his breakfast by now.

After he's bitten you, it's too late.

After what he done?

Ain't another dog in this world like Old Bell was.

Ain't got her corn in the crib yet.

Ain't nothin' like a little old boy to know when it's time to eat.

Ain't that Old Rose I hear bawlin'?

Ain't there no cows in heaven for the angels to milk?

All of three months, maybe four.

All right, boy. You act a man's part, and I'll bring you a man's horse.

All right, but I still don't want him!

All right, Chief. Let's hit the warpath.

All right, I'll swap ya.

All right, old sister, you take it easy.

All right, pig, now you're wearin' the Coates' mark.

All right, son.

All right, then. We'll all go.

All right, Yeller, hold her there.

All right, Yeller. Fetch 'em right under here.

All right!

All right.

Although his coat was yeller

Although his coat was yeller

Always dread the time when Jim comes to do the markin'.

An ugly lop eared mongrel

And a fancy pair of shoes to go with it.

And come mornin' I'm gonna shoot you right between the eyes.

And don't you ever, ever pick up a snake again.

And everything else you got in those pockets.

And everything else you got in those pockets.

And fetch your poor old pappy a bucket of fresh water.

And full of singin' birds, like now.

And have him stampedin' Jumper again?

And he saved mine and Arliss'! We can't!

And I figure you're man enough to handle the job.

And I had to throw rocks at 'em.

And I reckon just about the meanest critter alive go after his meat.

And I said to your Papa, Jim, this is it.

And I wouldn't want him to get shot for stealin'.

And in Kansas, we can get, maybe, $4, $5 a head for 'em.

And it was all so pretty, I just couldn't go on.

And it was real dark and muddy.

And it's gonna make Arliss the biggest liar in Texas!

And mainly, there's the corn patch.

And that's how a good dog should be

And that's when Old Yeller had fun

And the bee myrtle was in blossom

And the young ones sure keeps a man a hoppin' around.

And then there's these two big snakes and...

And there's about a million other fish and they all tried to eat me.

And this mornin' she wouldn't let her calf suckle neither.

And when he hunted trouble

And you can't afford to waste the good part frettin' about the bad.

And you make sure he don't fall off.

And you won't never see another one like him.

And you. You get off scot free.

And, Travis, do some thinkin' on what I said

Anything? What's it look like?

Arliss is just a little boy with a big imagination.

Arliss rocks me. Mama blesses me out.

Arliss, aren't you ashamed, throwin' rocks at that man?

Arliss, be quiet. Mr. Searcy's talkin'.

Arliss, get that dirty, old dog outta our drinkin' water!

Arliss, go wash up before supper's all cold.

Arliss, if you don't stop catchin' things and bringin' 'em into the house,

Arliss, quit eatin' with that nasty old pup!

Arliss, turn it loose!

Arliss, what all have you got in those pockets?

ARLISS: (SHOUTING) Mama!

ARLISS: Ain't he pretty? Is he for me?

ARLISS: He was rockin' my dog!

ARLISS: Who's that beatin' my dog?

Arliss!

Arliss!

Arliss!

Arliss!

Arliss! Don't open that door!

Arliss! Keep away from that door!

As a general rule, you can find it.

As rough a thing as I ever heard tell of.

At least a lop eared Yeller dog, don't you?

Aw, gee, Papa.

Aw, Mama, it's just a little old garter snake.

Aw, Mama.

Aw, mind your own business!

Bad as I need that old dog, I could give you a loan of him

Be sure you pick out ears what is sweet and juicy.

Bear huntin'. Who busted the fence down?

Because Miss Priss is gonna have pups.

Before Arliss gets back.

Before the deer eat it up, or the blowin' rain rot it in the field!

Beggin' me to stay behind,

Beggin' me to stay behind,

Better go out and cut some down.

Big...

Biggest bother I've had, though, lately

Biggest, nicest funeral you ever did...

Bud Searcy told me about an old, stray dog you had.

BURN: Come on, boy.

BURN: Here, boy!

Burying Old Yeller.

Bushels of 'em.

But either way, we've got it to do.

But first, I wonder if you'd do somethin' for me.

But he ain't Old Yeller.

But he could up and do it

But he was my dog.

But he's a heap more dog than I ever had him figured for.

But I ain't complainin', though.

But I did go tell that boy's Mama where he was, so she could rest easy

But I did rope him, didn't I, Mama?

But I need me a good huntin' dog.

But I tell you, there ain't nothin' to do out in that old backyard.

But I wanna go. I tell ya, I wanna go!

But I'll tell you a trick that's sometimes a big help.

But I'm mighty proud of how my boy stood up to it.

But it's not all like that.

But it's the gospel truth, Miss Coates!

But on the other hand, he ain't hardly as big as a dog.

But she's just like her old pappy... Stout and willin'!

But there never was a better cow dog born, or a hog dog either.

But there's a plague of hydrophobia in these parts.

But Travis can't play with no puppy. He's sick.

But when man after man called me all spoke private like...

But when man after man called me all spoke private like...

But when one don't run, or maybe makes fight at you,

But you just said you could get anything with money.

But you wanna watch for others that ain't that far along.

But, Mama, I just seen that old, yeller dog catch this fish.

But, Mama, why not now?

By golly! That sounds like it might work.

By the time he finished eatin' and visitin' with everyone this side of Abilene,

Bye! Bye.

Bye.

Claimed she catched him at it.

Clean to the bone, looks like.

Comanche, Papa said.

Come back, Yeller

Come back, Yeller

Come back, Yeller

Come back, Yeller

Come back, Yeller

Come on now.

Come on now.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy.

Come on, boy. Gonna put you in here.

Come on, Jumper.

Come on, Lisbeth. Hot, ain't it?

Come on, Yeller boy, get him!

Come on, Yeller! Come on, boy!

Come on, Yeller.

Come on, Yeller.

Come on, Yeller. Come on, boy.

Come on, Yeller. Want them hogs to come back and get ya?

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I'll give you some more bread.

Come on. It's time to eat.

Come on. Let's take a look.

Come sit down, son.

Come with me, boy, while I get my horse settled.

Corn crop ain't gonna be worth nothin' more than a whirlwind nubbins.

Couldn't ask no more of a grown man.

Country.

Crazy as a bull bat.

Cut you 14 different ways before you can get fixed to rot.

Didn't tell your Mama this. Didn't want to fret her.

Don't lean on him and don't play with him.

Don't look like to me he's hardly big enough to learn nothin' yet.

Don't scare you, does it, boy?

Don't you be bashful about tellin' me.

Don't you understand?

Don't you worry, boy. I'll get you outta here.

Don't you worry, boy. I'll get you outta here.

Easy.

Fancy free without a family tree

Figured I'll leave you behind to help her with the job.

First we've had since the war.

Get 'em, Yeller! Wipe up the ground with 'em!

Get her, Yeller! Bust her again!

Get him, Yeller! There he is!

Get your dog to rally them hogs around the tree.

Get, you crazy fool dog! Get!

Go jerk me a hair out of Old Jumper's tail.

Go on bein' a man.

Go on, Arliss.

Go on, ya old fool, before she kills ya.

Go on.

Go right in there, honey.

Golly!

Golly! (BABBLING)

Good bye, boy. Take good care of that old, yeller dog.

Good bye, Jim dear.

Good bye, Katie.

Good bye.

Good mornin', Mr. Searcy. Hello, Lisbeth.

Had to dive way down deep under to catch this fish.

He acts like it's a great big romp, doesn't he, Travis?

He ain't my papa.

He ain't touched a bite of that venison.

He always found it double

He came runnin' by, and I roped him right by the ears.

He isn't a ugly yeller dog. He's a pretty yeller dog.

He may be part Old Yeller,

He run at his woman and young 'uns, tryin' to bite 'em.

He sure looks fine, all right.

He was keepin' 'em off of me.

He was tryin' to kill my dog.

He was way down deep under where there was this cave

He went to snarlin' and snappin' at everything in sight.

He... He's part Old Yeller.

He'd have done it too if that chain hadn't held him back.

He'll die without help!

He's a thief, Mama! He'll steal us blind.

He's a very, very sick Indian.

He's all yours, boy.

He's big enough to learn

He's chewed up some, but he ain't bad hurt.

He's frisky and he's happy

He's my dog. Ain't nobody gonna try to hurt him.

He's not your dog, and I never even touched him.

He's sufferin'. You know we've got to do it.

He's that same stray dog that wrecked the fence.

He's too little for you to play with. He gets lonely.

Heap safer that way.

Hello, Lisbeth.

Hello, the house!

Hello, the house!

Hello, the house!

Help. There are plenty of ways a man could help around here.

Here we are, boy. More grub.

Here, boy, come and get some bread.

Here, Mama.

Here, Yeller

Here, Yeller

Here, Yeller (WHISTLING)

Here, Yeller (WHISTLING)

Here, Yeller (WHISTLING)

Here, Yeller (WHISTLING)

Here, Yeller (WHISTLING)

Here, Yeller.

Here.

Here's your supper.

Hey. What about my toad?

Him and Lisbeth Searcy are over at North Hill...

Him and that dirty, old, yeller dog were wallowing in our drinkin' water.

His bold Texas heart was true blue

Hiya, boy. Ain't them injuns scalped you yet?

Hog tracks, Yeller! Get 'em, boy!

Hold it, Chief. I think you're fixin' to raise the wrong hair.

How can you work hogs from a tree?

How fer off is heaven?

How, Pa? How you gonna forget somethin' like that?

Howdy, Miss Coates. Howdy do? Howdy, boy. How's everybody?

Huh? By doin' what, Miss Coates?

Hydrophobia? You sure?

Hydrophoby? Oh, no, Travis.

I aim to milk you if I have to break every bone in your body.

I been achin' to see it on you.

I brung him to ya.

I can ride them old cows same as you.

I didn't know it was gonna be this bad.

I do believe you are cooler.

I don't care. Get it out of here!

I don't hardly throw a shadow no more.

I figured she hid out somewhere and had her calf.

I got a good look at them hogs.

I got me just the dog for it.

I guess I better go hunt her up.

I guess I don't quite mean that.

I guess we can stand it another couple of days.

I guess you wouldn't like it, either, if you had to stay shut up in a corn crib!

I hope so, son.

I know one thing.

I know what!

I know your papa left you in charge of things while he's gone.

I know, Mama. Mama, I know.

I know. Everything you catch is pretty. But take him outta here.

I mean it, boy. I'm comin' back.

I never started no rock fight. He... (PANTING)

I promise.

I put 100 head of our steers in that pool herd

I reckon we won't have to bother for a while.

I reckon you ain't in no shape to take pleasure in him yet.

I seen him suck a batch of eggs.

I started learnin' this old pup to earn his keep.

I sure do.

I think, maybe, she's got a bit of pea vine.

I thought maybe it was Papa.

I told you time and again.

I told you, don't butt in. Mr. Searcy's talkin'.

I wanna get a look at his face when he sees the horse I brung him.

I wanna go! (GRUNTS) But I wanna go!

I want him to meet ya.

I wanted to warn you not to take any chances.

I was chose for this job and I'll get her done.

I was just thinkin'.

I will. Bye, ma'am.

I wish he did have a good dog, like Old Bell.

I wish I was with him,

I wish you didn't have to go.

I won't never, never tell.

I wonder how far they got yesterday.

I wonder if maybe Papa's lying out there

I, uh, kinda figured to head up that cow drive to Kansas myself.

I'll be dogged.

I'll be glad to take care of that. Lisbeth?

I'll be makin' tracks for home.

I'll bust him with another if he takes my dog off!

I'll do it.

I'll get Mama. Mama'll fix you up for sure.

I'll go get my gun.

I'll handle him, or I'll bust his jawbone with a club.

I'll help you to bed.

I'll pen him up where he can't get out. And then we'll wait.

I'll tell you, Miss Coates... (SIGHS)

I'll... Shoot him...

I'm all right. It'd take more than them old hogs to kill me.

I'm gonna get you a store bought dress.

I'm gonna switch you good.

I'm hungry.

I'm on call day or night.

I'm sorry, Arliss. I'm too busy now.

I'm sure you will be.

I've been in that cow camp starvin' on my own cookin' so long,

I've been wantin' mighty bad to get me a big horned toad like you got there.

I've done shot two wolves, a fox and a skunk that had it.

I've got a powerful lot to do before supper time.

If he's big enough to act like Old Yeller.

If he's your dog, better take him now.

If his mouth's black inside, that's what counts.

If the varmints get at it, could be that might spread the disease.

If you can't.

If you could just come to like the pup...

If you don't work it right, we'll be without bread this winter.

If you think there's a chance.

In any chase he knew just how to run

In the West

In the west

Into feedin' me one, big woman cooked meal,

Is a long haul for a trail herd.

Is heaven as far off as Papa went?

Is the thievin' what's been goin' on at Salt Licks.

Is this about the right size?

It scares me a little bit, but I'll sure do like you told me.

It scares me a little bit, but I'll sure do like you told me.

It was him what done it.

It was lucky for us, son, but it weren't lucky for Old Yeller.

It was right neighborly like of you to feed us, Miss Coates.

It's a heavy responsibility ridin' herd on the settlement

It's Bud Searcy and Lisbeth, too.

It's just that we've never been separated before.

It's just that...

It's like the year your Papa and I settled here.

It's lovely.

It's Mr. Searcy!

It's plain to see he's got a family tree

It's sure enough a man sized job.

It's time for you to go to bed, Arliss.

It's time for you to go to bed, Arliss.

Jim said you were gonna protect us all.

JIM: Old Yeller?

Jim! Oh, Jim!

Jumper, you jug head!

Just an old arrowhead I picked up.

Just dropped over to see if there's anything I could do.

Just hold your potatoes while I go kiss your Mama.

Just listen to those songbirds this mornin'...

KATIE: (SHOUTING) Travis! Bring your gun!

KATIE: Arliss!

KATIE: Leave that alone! You get outta here!

KATIE: She didn't come up last night.

KATIE: Travis, Arliss, whatcha doin' out there?

KATIE: Travis! Travis!

Kept him up there too till I happened along and seed what a pickle he was in.

Kill him?

Kill him? Why, it killed him deader than a doornail.

Knew what to do

Knowed he was bound to die. Chained himself to a sweet gum tree.

Knowed I was bein' called on for a bigger job.

Let me talk to this boy a minute.

Let that mule alone!

Let's get finished and go burn the carcass.

Let's see.

Life will just haul off and knock him flat.

Like hitchin' up the mule and gatherin' in the corn crop

Like we was two sick injuns?

Lisbeth, honey, Miss Coates here, she's in kind of a bind.

Lisbeth, honey, run down to the spring

LISBETH: You hurt pretty bad?

Listen! I'm gonna keep you so dang busted busy

Look after you womenfolks and the young ones, I seen my duty.

Look at all them stars, Yeller.

Look here, young rooster. If you wanna keep outta trouble,

Look it here at his belly, how soft and smooth and pretty it is.

Looks like it's about time

Looks like we've got us a dog.

Ma'am, you and the boys don't have much protection out here.

Mama was tryin' to kill my dog.

Mama, don't let what Mr. Searcy said bother you.

Mama, I got your lizard.

Mama, I'm hungry.

Mama, Lisbeth says it's Old Yeller

Mama, listen.

Mama, look at the little, bitty puppy Lisbeth give me.

Mama, that cow's got hydrophoby.

Mama, them buzzards ain't got him!

Mama, we gotta go back after Old Yeller.

Mama, what happened to the middling meat?

Mama, you don't mean we're gonna keep that old, ugly yeller dog

Mama, you don't understand. I promised Old Yeller, and I'm goin'!

Mama, you know them is just big windies Arliss is tellin'.

Mama! Mama, look at the fish that I caught! Ain't he a whopper?

Mama? Did you feed that old dog anything?

Man comes to take my dog off, I'd throw a fit too.

Maybe he's right, ma'am.

Maybe not even a thing you wanna forget.

Maybe we better take to pennin' him overnight.

Maybe you'll come to feel different later on.

Meat stole out of smoke houses. Hen's nests gettin' robbed.

Might hurt her feelings if we're not there on time to eat it.

Mighty lucky thing I done it, too. Know what happened the other day?

Miss Coates, I brung somethin' for Travis. Can I take it to him?

Missed him!

Mornin', ma'am. I'm Burn Sanderson from down near San 'Tone.

Most creatures will steal when they're hungry enough.

Mr. Sanderson said when they stagger and slobber around, you know for sure.

Mr. Searcy, I roped me a rabbit once.

Mr. Searcy, Lisbeth's nothin' but a little girl.

Mr. Searcy, please.

Mr. Searcy, that's enough! Not another word!

MR. SEARCY: Hello, the house!

MR. SEARCY: Oh.

Mush is about ready. If you want middling meat with it,

Next time it could be a rattler.

No wolf in his right mind would've jumped us at the fire,

No wonder they don't want him on no cow drive.

No, I won't.

No, Mama, it can't be pea vine. Not this late in the year.

No, Mama.

No, sir.

No, sir.

No, son, not yet.

No, we've waited this long.

No. I'm aimin' to start tomorrow.

Not even a loafer wolf.

Not until they get to the point of slobberin' and staggerin' around.

Now and then, for no good reason a man can figure out,

Now go inside and take off those wet clothes.

Now if you'll excuse me, Mr. Searcy, I'm makin' up some new poultice.

Now if you'll just keep him for me until we get home. We're gonna play a game.

Now, Arliss, you stop it, and go outside this minute.

Now, don't you forget, Miss Coates. If there's any other thing I can do for you,

Now, don't you fret yourself at all about that corn crop, Miss Coates.

Now, don't you fret yourself at all while your man's gone.

Now, go out there and wash up for supper.

Now, I told you, if everything's all right,

Now, if you could talk your mama

Now, just a minute, Miss Coates. That boy need help to tote all that corn.

Now, Miss Coates, I was just tryin' to give a word of warnin'.

Now, Papa, you know I've been achin' all over for a horse to ride.

Now, Rose, you take it easy.

Now, Travis, let him tell his stories the way he wants to.

Now, Travis, you're not bein' fair.

Nowhere, I reckon. She's just dead.

Of a blind goose in a hail storm.

Of course I couldn't chase them pesky javelinas off.

Of course I will.

Oh, Arliss! How can you even touch those ugly things?

Oh, Arliss! You're all wet and muddy again.

Oh, I don't know. A fer piece, I guess.

Oh, I don't know. Papa says 15 mile a day

Oh, Jim!

Oh, no. It... It ain't that. Uh...

Oh, Travis.

Oh, Yeller.

Oh, Yeller. You're all cut to pieces.

Oh, you crazy, wonderful dog!

Oh!

Oh.

Oh. (PANTING)

Old Yeller

Old Yeller just saved your life, and Lisbeth's too!

Old Yeller was a fighter A rootin', tootin' fighter

Old Yeller was a hunter

Old Yeller was a mongrel

Old Yeller will wipe up the ground with them pesky varmints.

On account of he's a sicker Injun than me?

On the trail somewhere, lookin' at 'em, too.

One of Miss Priss' pups.

Or else everyone in Salt Licks'll be mad at us.

Over bit the right ear. Under slope the left.

Ow!

Papa says that means he's a good dog.

Papa wouldn't have started a rock fight with Arliss either.

Papa wouldn't want that old dog in our drinkin' water.

Papa! I aim to go with ya!

Papa! Ya done came home!

Partly. Mostly he's for Travis.

Pick you out a tree with a low hanging limb, but still out of hog reach.

Plenty of water, game for the killin'.

Probably wanted to get an early start.

Provided, of course, he ain't got hydrophoby.

Providin' a body knows how to fix it.

Put it down! Put it down!

Quiet, Yeller! Don't rile her!

Reach down your loop, pull up your pig and go to work on him.

Reckon if I can't be of no more help around here,

Reckon it's not a thing you can forget.

Recollect had me an uncle once down in east Texas.

Remember now, if she's had her calf, she'll be on the fight.

Right now I feel sorta the same way, but...

Runnin' me a few head of cattle over on Devil's Creek.

Same as that there boy or that old, yeller dog there.

Sayin' it's one thing and feelin' it's another.

See? He don't holler when you hold him up by the neck hide.

Seein' all that...

Seen either one of them foamin' at the mouth, shown any signs of fits?

Seen him swipe a pan of Grandma's corn bread too.

Set it too squealin'. Ha! Be dogged that the rest of them didn't tree that boy.

She's been actin' flighty lately, like she was scared of her own shadow.

She's blind sick.

Shot at a bunch of javelina hogs and wounded one of 'em.

Since the time I splurged on a big feed at the Menger Hotel in San 'Tone.

Singin' their heads off.

Slam him again' the ground so hard it seems like all his insides is busted.

So now, Rose, you know as well as I we're not gonna hurt ya.

Some folks'll be scrapin' the bottom of their meal barrels come wintertime.

Somebody'll shoot him! Yeller!

Son, you bring that dog in here and Rose will go crazy.

Sounded like it might be the one I lost.

Sounds like that cottontail you roped this mornin'.

Stayed right there till he died of the slobberin' fits.

Stayed right there till sickness took ahold.

Steal you blind while you're watchin'.

Stole that big side of middling meat there too!

Stop it, Arliss! Stop it!

Stuff dyin' like flies. Foxes, wolves, polecats, hogs...

Sure cut up, ain't ya, boy?

Sure would've made short work of that old, yeller stray.

Sure, Mama. I'll catch him.

Take a look at him, Mama. See for yourself.

Take it easy, son. He's only a little boy.

Take your ax and go cut two long poles for a litter.

Tangled a bad hog, he did. Got cut all to pieces.

Thank you, ma'am.

That ain't all.

That don't mean nothin'.

That fool kid of Jed Simpson's

That last day, we camped by the spring.

That makes it all bad.

That old dog better not come around here while I got me a gun in my hands.

That there poultice is sure the stuff to suck out the poison,

That was rough, son.

That's a way a man talks, son.

That's got him! Good for you, boy!

That's him all right.

That's Mama! What's the matter with her?

That's mighty nice of ya, ma'am. Thank you.

That's my dog! You can't take my dog!

That's right. Now remember,

That's right. Now, you're gonna ride here and hold him.

That's the secret, Miss Coates,

The first one you've had since we come to Texas.

The poor thing.

The sooner we get him home, the better.

The worst egg sucker and camp robber you ever laid eyes on.

Them cows would be dead of old age.

Them hogs would've never touched him.

Them old hogs can fuss and charge around all they please, but up a tree

Them prickly pear roots gonna make Travis well?

Thems was born in a badger hole. Seven of 'em.

There he goes, over there!

There you are.

There'll be the pigs to mark, fresh meat to shoot.

There's no hope for him now, Travis.

There's us and the young 'uns, good land,

They aren't ugly.

They buried him under that sweet gum tree...

They say sometimes it takes a month to tell.

They say you can get anything for money.

They scare me to death.

Thing to do now is... Try and forget it.

Think we could let him out?

Think you can handle Old Jumper when he's hooked to a plow?

This 'un's the best of the bunch.

This here's hanged too long.

This is home.

This one of yours could be as dangerous as a rattlesnake bite.

Till the varmints left out and give him a chance to climb down.

Till your man comes home.

To take the place of the bad.

Travis, boy, you go fetch my pony, and we'll be pullin' out for home.

Travis, go call Old Yeller to the house.

Travis, take this pony to the corn crib and strip the saddle gear off him.

Travis, we got lots of corn. Me, Mama and Lisbeth.

Travis, what are you doin' to your little brother?

Travis, will you go down to the corn patch and pick us some roastin' ears?

TRAVIS: Arliss.

TRAVIS: Bye, Lisbeth.

TRAVIS: Get away from that mule!

TRAVIS: Little old garter snake ain't harmful.

TRAVIS: No, you don't!

TRAVIS: Turn it loose!

Travis!

Travis! Bring your gun!

Travis! Travis! A wolf!

Travis?

True blue

Try it again, sister, and Old Yeller'll bust you wide open.

Two whole weeks, and nary a sign of a thing.

Up in Kansas...

Wanna shake on it?

Wasn't goin' to even before I knowed he was your dog.

Way off yonder,

We can't just shoot him like he was nothin'.

We don't know for certain.

We meant to build over at the Salt Licks settlement

We passed one back there a piece. Prettiest I ever saw.

We'll be lookin' in on you again before you know it. Bye, boy. Bye, Miss Coates.

We'll have to sew him up.

We'll just keep him a while.

We'll let Old Yeller out come Saturday.

We're gonna have to hurry if we wanna get him patched up

We're stayin' right here and keepin' them coons run out, you hear?

We've come to get him out, baby.

Wears a man right down to a frazzle.

Well now, boy, that's really doin' some ropin'. (CHUCKLING)

Well, anyhow, I...

Well, boy?

Well, good bye, ma'am. I'm sure much obliged.

Well, he's hungry too!

Well, he's sure gone and rustled up some grub somewhere.

Well, how do I know?

Well, I believe I will shade up for a spell, Miss Coates.

Well, I did. A mean old bitin' one.

Well, I didn't wanna tell you at the house, but...

Well, I don't know if I could tell if a critter's got the sickness.

Well, I got me a dog. Old Yeller.

Well, I never seen but one piece,

Well, I... I brung you a surprise.

Well, I'll go rustle you up some bread and milk.

Well, I'll tell you how it is.

Well, I'm happy you enjoyed it, Mr. Sanderson.

Well, if that don't beat all. I never saw such a dog.

Well, if you got money, you give it to people for stuff.

Well, it's...

Well, ma'am, I guess I better be gettin' back to camp.

Well, maybe you're right, ma'am.

Well, no, I forgot to. Been so long since we had a dog.

Well, now, that sounds like a healthy dog to me.

Well, now, that's a fine horny toad, and I want him bad.

Well, son, while I'm gone, you'll be the man of the house.

Well, that's somethin' different.

Well, then maybe we can do some swappin'.

Well, what you're needin' worse than a horse is a good dog.

Well, why don't you give him to Arliss? He'll like him.

Well, ya can. But Papa's was Confederate.

Well, you better keep a close watch on them. Liable to show up at any time.

Well, you can have it.

Well, you certainly brought home a rabbit, and now this big catfish.

Well.

Well.

What do you mean by buy things?

What do you mean, tellin' an ugly story like that

What done what?

What I oughta do is get me a sprout and give him one good thrashing.

What I oughta do is run you clean off this place.

What I'm tryin' to say is...

What stole all them eggs and bread and meat and stuff.

What?

What'd you bring me home, Papa? Where is it?

What's a matter with Yeller, Mama? Who stopped him up in this hole?

What's been doin' all that stealin' out in Salt Licks.

What's the matter, boy?

What's this about that boy of yours gettin' hog cut?

Whatcha got in that pocket?

When Mr. Coates gets back, I want you to come and see us.

When you git right down to hogs, just about the best eatin' there is alive.

When you think on it, we're lucky.

When you were little, Old Bell wouldn't let you near anything harmful.

Where it would've been safer from the Indians, but...

Where on earth did he come from?

Where'll Rose go now she's dead?

Where's Old Rose?

Where's Travis?

While the menfolks is gone.

While you're at it, boy.

Whoa ooo!

Whoa, Jumper! Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa, Jumper!

Whoa.

Why not let Arliss claim him?

Why, ain't he a jim dandy.

Why, coons been in this corn! Them thievin' rascals!

Why, I figure it and that horned toad would be worth

Why, it's strict as a whistle, boy.

Why, the old rogue. We'll have to break him of that,

Why, you no account, thievin' rascal!

Why, you shoot him and quick.

Why, you thievin', little wretch!

Will you feed him, Mama?

Will you really be gone three months?

Womenfolks losin' bread what they set out in their windows to cool.

Won't hurt him to let him use it.

Won't you come and set a while?

Won't you get down, Mr. Sanderson?

Work? Why, of course it works!

Yeah, sure, I know.

Yeller sure has been givin' them coons the mortal fits.

Yeller! Yeller!

Yeller.

Yep, hogs is bad, mighty bad. I had me an uncle once down in east Texas,

Yep. Lookin' out after you womenfolks

Yes, Mama.

Yes, Mr. Sanderson?

Yes, Papa?

Yes, sir, but what I'm wantin' worst is a good horse.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. And you take care of my horny toad.

Yes'm.

Yes'm.

You ain't gonna keep my dog locked up in that crib no more!

You ain't gonna keep my dog locked up in that crib no more!

You ain't got a chance, sister.
