Gunsmoke brought to you by Chesterfield, America's most popular two-way cigarette.
What a pair.
Chesterfield King Size at the new low price.
Chesterfield Regular.
Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers
and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of Gunsmoke.
Gunsmoke starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved west with
young America and the story of a man who moved west.
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they
want to meet.
It's a chancy job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Good morning, Matt.
Oh, hello, Doc.
You had breakfast yet?
I'm waiting for Chester to get back from the depot.
Somebody told him there's a telegram for me.
Telegram?
You should have left it there, Matt.
Why?
A telegram usually means somebody's coming to Dodge looking for you.
Or that you've got to go somewhere and look for them.
Either way, it spells trouble.
Well, if it wasn't for trouble, Doc, I wouldn't have a job.
Well, then you ought to quit.
It's a poor thing when a man has to make his living off of other people's troubles.
Tell me, Doc, how long has it been since anybody came to you and told you how good they were
feeling, huh?
Say now.
Oh, you know, I hadn't thought about it.
Well, I guess we were pretty much alike after all, man.
Well, hello, Chester.
Hello, Doc.
I got it, Mr. Dillon.
What are you looking so glum about, Chester?
What does it say?
You better read it.
Kind of private-like.
Huh?
U.S. Marshal, Dodge City, Kansas.
Coming to get married.
Noon train, Saturday.
Meet me.
Signed.
Mavis McCloud.
Oh, Mavis McCloud.
Oh, that's a right pretty name.
Oh, she's pretty, too.
Where's she from, anyway?
You really going to get married, Mr. Dillon?
Hey, you're pretty foxy, Matt, keeping this a quiet.
Now, wait a minute, you two.
If you're all through talking, I'll tell you something.
Hey, yes.
Quiet, Chester.
This is an important moment.
Well, I'm listening.
All right.
All right.
Now, this may be kind of a shock to you, but, uh, you know, I'm going to have to get back
to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.

I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.
I'm going to have to get back to work.

at the new low-priced
you get highest quality with chesterfield regular
what up there they are

their best for you
the next few weeks i thought
worried about
but i should have known i was waste of my time
she met a young fellow called barney wales and
three days later they got married
kitty called it a lot of first
about anyway i knew barney and he was a sober hard-working cowboy
started a little spread of his own
it was a good match
look like they were going to make up
these type of stuff
so one day when i was sitting in the office trying to keep cool
looking for marshall
comment
alaya

uh... what do you want to work that's my business marshall
or maybe
where she
what makes you think i'd know

i tried every saloon and gambling house and dodge
but finally i gave it up one of the jail got just
it was past midnight when we had a dodge house once more
at a talk with a clerk
and then what up
barney and
there's room
off
not just a real problem to be about what he came here to do
heritage
okay
all right
how you stand over there just so you'll be behind the door when it opens up
they're going to be surprised it does come here
and let's look
clerk downstairs bungles it
well all you've got to do is say barney come in a while ago and upstairs
that sounds easy
but he might get scared and say anything
but there to be scared of a man who shoots women
and the clerk doesn't know about that just
and besides staley may be crazy but
he's armed and he's dangerous
yesterday
barney got a real while when he come to find himself all tied up by the terrible
time with him he's going to quiet just
think it's him
uh...
