civilization born before our own eyes There are times in the streets of Virginia City when I question the use of the word civilization It is always that way with the new hop sing a diamond before it is polished Seems no more than a cloud of dirt Is this the American way to toast on an American occasion to your son on his 18th birthday to my son Jimmy's American birthday to the joining of the past and the present to create a finer future You have honored my house and now there is much to do You are fortunate to know the Cartwright family so well Hop sing it pleases me to know that here in America the affection and respect of the sons for the father is as strong as it is in the land of our ancestors The cartwrights have great respect for you My uncle and admiration for your son I am happy that the younger sons will honor us with their presence at the birthday party and do not worry husing your friend hoss will be fed as well as if you yourself Did the cooking Hey you you speak to

hops All right Is Chinese business only What do you mean by that Paul You don't think he's tangled up One of them tong things we heard about Do you No I don't son That Tong is a protective organization composed of civilized people I wonder how much more this has been going on A lot of it particularly in the California gold mines I didn't think anybody had spread over the mountains Why would anybody want to do a thing like this Because Singh is Chinese That's the craziest thing I ever heard of Paul I feel like going in there and tearing our town apart board by board You know you won't send you go to Jimmy Chang's birthday platter tomorrow just as you planned I suppose we just forget about the fact that somebody beat up on Hop sing We're not gonna forget about it but we're not going to stir up more trouble for the Chinese than they already have You Sure you got enough money Oh yes sir Paul We done paid for Jimmy Chang's present We're just gonna go pick it up All right we'll see you later What was it you wanted Lee Jane Oh today is birthday of my son I that night I would like to buy 18 small American flags I am You'll plumb out of them flags ain't you Hammond Hm Oh yeah Yeah that's right I forgot I don't have any American Flags Chane I'm sorry What are you sorry for I don't have any You'll have to go some other place Uh Thank you I will try camps on C street You don't have none either and neither does anybody else in town time My friend Uh Mr Ben Mr Adam It would seem my unworthy nephew feeds the food to bring good health It would seem Hop sing feeds my brother horse a few extra servings too But there's a big day in your life Chang you'll be might or proud of that boy of yours Mr Cutright Could I ask you a question please Well of course anything you want you know that there are customs of your people I do not understand I'd wish for my son an American birthday party I wouldn't worry about it Just get my cake with candles Oh yes It must be candles and not flags Well what do you mean Jane I had thought to put American flags on the cake but I understand it is not permitted Who says so Oh it's not matter Chang did Hammond refuse to sell you American flags to put on Jimmy's cake I did not understand I do not wish trouble Adam Ben It's good to see you And what can I do for my favorite customers We'd like to buy some American Flags I don't have any of them little ones man And how did you know we wanted some of those little ones you know maybe we wanted a great big one Well do you you running the store now Jessie No no I just take care of my own affairs That's all Well and stay out of ours You pack a grudge a long time Adam Well how about it Hammond I'm just sure we don't have none Now why did you take a nice hard look We're right here Well here's some of them I didn't know I had any left See that's 3456 How many of them did you need 18 Had to be put on a birthday cake There's a few extra It'll be a dollar Thank you Adam You shouldn't let Jesse tips get under your skin That way I can't help it Nothing but a cattle thief and a hired gun and yet he walks around loose he'll crab himself in time And the fuller this town's getting pretty hard up for somebody to run for mayor isn't it Adam is Jesse Tibbs still foreman of that ranch that Andy Forer bought out south of Carson As far as I know I sing business with the flags with Lee Chang And that sounds just about like the kind of tactics that fuller would use First the Irish and now the Chinese America for the Americans has a pretty tired platform Adam do me a favor Will you take these flags over to Lee Chang Tell him that Hammond just misunderstood them What are you up to that somebody I want to talk to I'm in ah and Cartwright I'm rightly honored What do I owe the pleasure of this visit Mr Cartwright You don't have to go through any of the formalities Mr Fuller We've known each other for some time Uh What school do you get that from School of hard knocks Same one You went to Ben only I don't call myself a lawyer Folks get in trouble They come to me for advice Ain't nothing in the law says I can't charge a fee for helping him Now just what did you have on your mind Ben Andy I understand your fixing to run for mayor That's right Andy what's your platform Virginia City For Virginia City Short Sweet And to the point you like that Well it depends on what it means It means Virginia City belongs to the folks that made it what it is It means we don't want outsiders Well now what's your definition of an outsider Andy Well now Ben you you live outside the city and you can't vote for me anyhow even if you would But I'll be glad to spell it out for you anyway It means our town is being overrun by foreigners who are willing to work for nothing And they're taking the bread and butter out of the mouths of folks like us who built this country now by foreigners Andy Who do you mean the uh the Irish the welsh Well the Chinese now before you start giving me any of that high flu talk about prejudice you just stop and remember this camp's full of those same Irishmen and Welshmen and cornish men And those are the very people I mean to protect I wasn't going to give you any high flu and talk about prejudice Andy I just wanted to know where you stood Yeah Does that mean you're against me Ben Well Andy it means that if I find out that you or any of your boys had anything to do with beating up my cook I'll tie a rope around you I'll drag you up and down main street I'm Ben Like I said before you don't live in this city and you can't vote for me No How so why don't you just stay out of this campaign I guess you just invited me in Andy Boss Little Joe Don't call that Jimmy Chang Just when I got a surprise birthday for his run out to we would have to run into it I didn't expect to see you till tonight You are coming to the party aren't you I sure we're coming Jimmy What's the matter hoss Uh we really gonna eat bird's nest My father said he felt the same way about the first piece of apple pie he ever saw See you later I gotta get to stay one get to work Take it easy Jimmy He's a good kid Yeah Made up his mind to go to college and he'll do it too You reckon he knew this was his birthday present If he couldn't figure that out he sure has no sense of going to college Hey good looking you know better than to say a thing like that in public You didn't seem to mind it so much last night Hi Billy Weeder I wasn't even with you last night Then Who are you with Sally Tommy Gaines and Ned Wilkins are the pierce kid or maybe him What if I was I didn't know you was making fun I'd slap your mouth Let go of me Suppose I tell your daddy what you just said What do you think OJR did to you huh Now you just be nice and I won't tell let go of her let go of her Why don't you try and make me You just made the biggest mistake of your life The biggest mistake you'll ever make Jimmy Oh let me look at that cut That's all right Miss Sally Leave me alone All I did was bathe your face The girl would do that for anyone Yes Anyone I didn't mean it the way it sounded That's all right I'm used to it here I'll put some more water on it Sally father him into the house But father did you hear me Why What have I done You've disgraced my name Flouting yourself in front of this heathen I was just helping Jimmy Billy Wheeler hit him and I thank Billy Wheeler for that Father How can you say that Jimmy didn't do anything You get into the house before I thrash you I'm not afraid of you father I haven't done anything wrong Every time I look at a boy you see evil Sally you keep away from her You shouldn't have done that Mr Ridley Father No no father No you've killed her Yes No I told you it was the biggest mistake you ever made Boy I sure told you I wouldn't be too worried if I was you Lee Chang about Jimmy He'll be around a minute That old man Ridley probably gave him a few extra chores To do You know Mr Ridley He's tougher nails Oh Jimmy not mine He worked hard He knew what Mr Ridley Tell him Yeah What do you think Castle I don't know that boy ain't anxious to make his college money He's done Forgot his own birthday party man He's almost an hour late Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy What happened to you I'm sure you get some water and some towels quick What is it My son they were chasing me Who was I had to fight him off hoss They wanted to kill me Well why what did you do Little job I didn't do anything Something must have happened Sally Ridley is dead Her father shot her It was an accident They think I killed her Look Jimmy I want you to tell me the whole story right from the very beginning it was an accident Joe I liked Sally I wouldn't ever hurt her We know he's in there send him out send him out or we're coming in to get him Somebody will get hurt Just keep calm Ain't nobody gonna hurt that boy We will handle this thing proper little Joe You come cover me The first man who tries to come in this house is gonna have to clam over me We're not looking for any fight we want The boy is all Well you ain't getting it He killed somebody and he's gonna get what's coming to him now That's a bit hasty Billy Suppose we give him a choice either we take the boy in jail or we get a rope What about it You wait here Will they take my son No Lee Chang if anybody does it they take him around here It's gonna be little Joe and me But you believe Jimmy Look don't worry Lee Chang Sheriff hat's a fair and honest man He'll know the truth when he hears it Father in America a man is innocent until proven guilty Isn't that right Horse That's right Jimmy Cool Let's go Hot Hopsy Adam's gonna stop by for us Tell him we're down at the jail Why'd you let him have him We could have strung him up Billy Billy Billy Don't you remember what Fuller said What we do is let it boil we just let it boil Now You have told me the whole truth You're sure you've left nothing out son I've told you just the way it happened Well I'm inclined to believe him How many other folks will is the question Well I believe him I've known Jimmy and his family a long time They're good people Sure they're good people but that doesn't tip the scales Not with some who have political ambitions You mean Andy Fua Yeah he's been waiting for this kind of thing to happen ever since he declared for mayor Come on boy de everything's gonna be all right This is for your own protection Jimmy You'd be better off here than you will at home I understand Sheriff See Jimmy this doesn't mean that that you're guilty Even an innocent man if he's suspected of murder can't be allowed to roam the streets I know you'll be all right here All right Do we send him in How are you Mr Ridley Andy Won't you sit down All of our sympathies are with you Mr Ridley We all want you to know how deeply we feel for you in this hour of your great loss Thank you Andy It's a tragedy Mr Ridley It's a real tragedy And if we hadn't let the bars down in the first place a thing like this couldn't ever have happened Now you know me Mr Ridley I speak my mind plain Your daughter went out with lots of American boys didn't she Sure she did pretty little thing like her and did any of those American boys ever act any way other than decent with her Of course not Would an American boy have shot her down in cold blood There's something I think you should know that boy didn't kill my daughter It was an accident I had the gun the gun went off and that boy didn't kill my daughter Andy I did how you just sit there Mr Ridley You had a very trying day Jesse Haven't you got some work to do Sure Sure Andy you know sometimes when a man suffers a great tragedy it can affect his mind You understand that don't you Mr Yes Yes I understand that And in his grief he he might forget things or or even imagine things that never really happened Yes Yes that's true Well I'm sorry to say this old friend but I see signs of that in you in your eagerness to do what's right You're willing to shoulder all the blame for Sally's death Well shouldn't I Andy now now let's face the truth didn't that boy that at James Chang didn't he provoke whatever caused Sally's death As the Lord is my judge that boy caused Sally to die Yes And our city is overrun with these undesirables and that breeds the sort of thing that happened to you and every decent citizen in this town wants to see that that don't never happen again Now ain't that right Mr Ridley Yes Yes I am All right Then Now let you and me sit down and examine what's really right for Virginia City You asked me to order members of our tong to fight if need be to protect your son My son has not killed anyone he has committed But one crime he is Chinese is James Chang Chinese has he not given up the ways of his ancestors Has he not taken the dress and the custom of another people He is ambitious He desires to educate himself in this new land He knows that one day the Chinese will take their place alongside other people who have come from many other places to make this great country Young eyes can see great distances and risk is the privilege of youth Your son has accepted the new ways and with this he has accepted the risk He is my son and they talk in the streets of killing him It is riddle It is better to sacrifice one lamb than to cause the slough off the entire flock Some men will fight even to save a lamb Yeah order order please Now I don't want to have to remind you folks this is an official inquest and I expect order continue Mr He like I said I've seen this Chinese boy carrying on with Sally Ridley So that's why I went and told her father you know the rest No your honor aren't we taking an awful lot for granted here Now surely your honor Ben Cartwright's been around long enough to know the facts when he hears them But this is not a trial Andy it's an inquest Is that old boy Well ain't that enough Your honor Don't get smart with me son Uh You just get down and let's have the next witness is Amanda Ridley Now Amanda just tell us in your own words What happened last night Jimmy Chang killed my sister That's it All All the order order please Amanda We're not passing judgment here We're just trying to get the facts Well what did you expect everybody in town knows what kind of a girl my sister was or was flatting herself fluffing her hair and mincing around boys What's the matter with her She's jealous of her own sister Um please Amanda I know how hard this must be for you But all we want to hear is what you saw Well I heard a shot I ran to the stable There was Jimmy Chang bending over my sister There was a gun next to him My poor father was standing there just staring and the gun was by Jimmy Chang It was right by him right where he dropped it Your honor How do we know that was Jimmy Chang's gun boon drop it there Ben you're not trying to tell us that gun just fell out of the sky Are you Ben Cartwright I'm not going to put up with any more of your outbursts All right Amanda That's all Mr Ridley Will you take the stand Mr Ridley Do you feel the testimony you've heard here is substantial of the way it happened As the Lord is my witness That boy caused the death of my daughter Thank you Mr You missed stepped out Jimmy Chang Stand up It is the finding of this inquiry that you Jimmy Chang stand trial for the murder of Stella Ridley inquest adjourned I sure don't want to miss that trial They'll hanging for sure won't they Mr Fuller Oh that's hard to tell a jury trial Sometimes you just can't depend on a jury Like I told you boys before when I take over this town I want it clean Maybe maybe we ought to see to it There ain't no trial Boss Jesse I sure like the way you think We have no obligation to this town boys And he's right We're all merchants We all earn our living here If we let the Chinese take over our property it would be worthless I never spoke to her word services That's my way of thinking Exactly And if it wasn't my way of thinking I wouldn't be running for mayor one thing Andy I ain't a man to jump into things you know Well you ain't a man to stand by and watch your own house burn down without tossing on a pail of water either Are you Cyrus Now if we let that Chinaman get away with killing that white girl it's just the same as saying we don't even care what happens to our own wives and daughters What do you think we ought to do Annie I think we ought to put a stop to it right now Looks like you were a little off your game today You live Joe Hm Mhm Shut up I'm holding a meeting over at Hammonds Store I don't like the looks of it Andy Fuller in the height of his glory So-called cause and a hotheaded audience to listen to his ranting What do you think it'll come to Paul I don't know But if Fuller can fire up that crowd enough they're sure enough to try to break Jimmy out of jail Well don't you think we can hold him off Paul I've got no right to ask you car rights to get mixed up in this thing You got no help either Have you Right You want to get rid of me sheriff You're gonna have to throw me out Jimmy Chang is a friend of mine Hello sheriff Well I I won't lie and say that I'm not pleased but now to make this thing legal like I I'd better swear you all in as deputies That's good I always did want to wear one of them deputy badges anyhow Ben looks like you were right I don't think there's any more doubt about a sheriff Look there's only one way to avoid trouble me by getting that boy out of town fast But I can't rightly do that Ben Well you can't rightly let them come in and lynch him either Can you Ben Jimmy Chang has been indicted for murder It's my sworn duty to uphold the law and it's also the sworn duty of you and your sons Now what are we supposed to do Sit here and wait That's the way it is Paul Even if we get Jimmy out we gotta get him past those men Yeah I suppose nothing would make fuller happier than to kill Jimmy Chang while attempting to break jail Uh look Ray there's no law that says a deputy can't walk out of here Is he No there isn't If you boys want to change your mind I can release you from any obligations No that's not what I meant I just don't like the idea of sitting around here while Andy Fullmer calls every turn What's on your mind son Well Paul I can't help thinking about Amanda and the way she behaved on the witness stand now I've known her a long time I just don't believe she's turned that bitter You think you might want to talk to her I'd like to try It's worth a chance maybe through who you could break down Ridley's story I don't like the idea of you going out there though No horse and I could cover him Paul They'd be playing right in the former's hands and there'd be three less guns in here for him to worry about I'll get through All right Paul I wasn't thinking of you getting through Adam I was thinking of you getting back in You don't sell for a short he's got Ridley on his side and he's gonna do everything in his power to keep him there Well I'm gonna risk it Hm All right now look at him That's an a a cot right The stink of that woman killer Get too thick for you in there You get out of my way Mhm You sure are proud Adam ain't no loss as we can't stand out here on the street now Why are your card Right So we ain't doing nothing We'll just keep on doing it I come in I suppose it'd be all right My father isn't home Well it's really you I wanted to talk to Amanda Would you like to sit down Thank you He she used to have some mighty good times in this house We haven't entertained since mother died Seven years Must get kind of lonely for you Sometimes I had obligations and I assumed those obligations They have to be at such a high price You think it's been easy keeping the household together with mother gone No I don't I I watch my own father do it for years Yes But Sally did everything she could to make things difficult Yeah Pa had his moments with all of us too She had no respect for anything not for me or for my father Look Amanda stop feeling sorry for yourself Life hasn't passed you by Why can't you cartwrights mind your own business and let us mind ours because it happens to be everybody's business When a boy's life's at stake you can stand there and say that to me when my sister's been murdered What do you expect me to do Go over there to Jimmy Chang and tell him it was all a big mistake if that's what it was Yes Jimmy Chang said he didn't have a gun He said it was an accident Now look a man I've always admired you because you had the courage to stand up for what you thought was Right Sally was just exactly the way you used to be No more no less You don't need to pretend with me Amanda Ok I I I've been so alone What should I do Tell the truth What are you doing in my house Cartwright is no woman safe in this town How dare you persecute my daughter It's not your daughter that's being persecuted There's a young boy over in that jail is just about to face a lynch mob Our boy is a murderer and a heathen He's been indicted for his crime indicted but not convicted But don't you think Jimmy Chang deserves a fair trial James Chang will have a fair trial Not unless you tell Andy Fuller That's what you want him to have Well Mr Fuller's an honorable man He doesn't need me to tell him what to do What's the matter Mr Ridley You're afraid to face up to Andy Full and the principles you value so highly I fear no man Well then talk to him I'll go with you Father What rights he got to stand trial anyway He ain't even no citizen We're gonna let those car rights tell us how to run our town They don't live in Virginia City and this town is for us that lives here for us Americans There are only three card rights in there Adam left and we'll see to it He don't get back in again I say rush to jail Sheriff Holster will be on our side when he sees me mean business Right Great Are you up two card right Can stop for a walk with some friends of mine It's not a guess you seem nervous Mr Ridley is Adam trying to force you to do something against your will No man forces me against my will I want to talk with Mr Forman You want to talk to me Jr I've got to talk to you about everything about those people out there Well I certainly they are not a man in this town Can't speak to me whenever he wants to You Come right on in this man Thanks Let's go Let's step into my private office We can talk freely there and I'll wait out here don't you sit down amended Jr No then what was it you wanted to say to me Jr I want those people out there to know the truth I want to tell them what I told you this morning And what did you tell me this morning Jr Why that Jimmy Chang is innocent but my daughter's death was an accident And what did I say Then Mr Ridley I just don't remember Didn't I say that I wanted to help You Didn't I say that the people of Virginia City were behind you 100% Did you see all those people out there in that street Why do you think they're there They're there because they're your friends Jr just as I'm your friend Because we both believe in the same principles We believe in honesty and decency and the American way now Ain't that right Mr Redman Yes I suppose so You don't suppose you know those people are out there because they're your friends they're out there to honor you They are there to honor a man who stood up in his hour of Greek tragedy not for his own sake but for the sake of an entire city Now are you gonna let them down Jr are you gonna let your daughter die and fee they're waiting for you out there Jr Well Mr Ridley I have no right to stand in the way of my friends the people here in Virginia City like I say Jr I like your ideas Fine You talk to me any time the door's always open What happened there Adam It was horrible It's as if my father has no mind of his own Well I'll change his mind No Adam let me do it I can make him understand that he's got to tell the truth All right if you think you can remember Amanda Jimmy Chang's life depends on your father telling the truth I realize that Now Adam come along Amanda Just where do you think you're going car right now Why don't you leave those folks alone boys boys What's going on here That car drive here seemed to be in a hurry We figured he was planning to pester the Ridley some more You boys put those guns away Jessie You know we're not men of violence You go right ahead Mr Cartwright Just do whatever you like I'll do just exactly that Mr Bowman You sure you don't want me to stop him boss Why should you do that Jesse Just when we got things right where we want them Well Joe do you ever taste anything like these Tale House beans Yeah No but I'm trying not to remember it What you mean to say is you you don't ever remember tasting anything as good don't you Yeah that's what I mean It's almost worth breaking the law to get this kind of chow Jimmy You ain't eat a bite of yours Why don't you try to get some of that down Thanks Hosp But I'm not hungry Hungry What's that got to do with it You think the only time a man can eat when he's hungry Yeah you haven't got any kind of fool idea like that Do you Jimmy I didn't kill Sally You believe me Don't your horse Jimmy You'll you'll have more sense than you may ask such a question But there are some people in this town who think I did How can they hoss Jimmy don't you wear on You got lots of friends in this town Friends aren't gonna let you down here He comes let him in I really thought they tried to stop you from getting it back in Fulmer's so sure of himself He figured he didn't have to Well what about Amanda Did you find out anything from her Oh I sure did Anyway I convinced that she should tell the truth and I thought we hadn't Ridley convinced And then we got over to Fulmer's and I don't know Fulmer's got some strange kind of hole on them man He's it's like so much clay in his hands Anyway Amanda's still working on him What do you think she'll get anywhere with him Well if she doesn't we've got a lynch mob on her hands Oh father How can I make you understand what I'm saying to you I'm on the side of right Right You are just doing what Andy Fuller wants you to do that Boy's gonna die Your sister died too didn't she Yes she did until now I don't believe I really cared But now I know you don't care how dare you speak like that to me How dare speak like that because it's the truth Your sister brought disgrace on us San It is it really Jimmy Chang you're trying to punish is it you're trying to punish Sally Father was her death Really an accident Or did you pull that trigger on purpose Is that why you're afraid to talk Amanda as God is my witness it was an accident then go out there and tell them oh father we've both lied to ourselves We never really believed the things we said about Sally And if we let Jimmy Chang die we'll really be condemning Sally You and I father we're the guilty ones Oh boy you all know where I stand I'm just interested in doing what's right for our city Are we gonna let those car rights stand between us and what we know is right I say let's rush them and get them out of that jail Come huh Here they come Tony Let's put a few shots over their heads That should scare them Stop that stop it Everybody stop Ridley Yeah It looks like she convinced him Stop it Everybody stop Get in here Jr Those car rights will kill you It isn't the cart rights This town needs to fear fuller Jr We understand each other and won't work again Andy I'm gonna tell Sheriff Halstead the truth We've been through this before I'm going to tell him the truth Get him Who who will why did you kill him What what are you saying You you told me to kill him murderer You filthy murderer Get him He just killed my best friend Jesse not the guy father father
