Live modern.
Smoke L&M.
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 a U.S. Marshal and the smell of Gun Smoke.
Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad.
The story of the violence that moved west with young America and the story of a man
who moved with it.
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 chancey job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
Well, here comes old Santa Fe, Mr. Dillon.
Yeah, and on time, too.
What this dude we're meeting look like, anyway?
Like any other 20-year-old, I guess, Chester.
He's lived back in Philadelphia since he was five, since his ma and cleave busted up.
Well, I guess we'll recognize him all right.
Oh, well, Matt.
Chester.
Hello, Doc.
What are you doing down here?
Oh, just looking over the new arrivals, seeing how many unhealthy ones I can count on.
Oh, gracious sake, will you look at that.
Look at what, Chester?
Oh, oh, well.
If that isn't a blossom of blooming youth.
I think that's the boy we're supposed to meet.
Him?
That's old man Cleveland's son, Cleveland?
Matt, you mean that swaggering old roughneck's got a son who dresses like that?
You can't always tell by appearances, Doc.
Uh, hey, Tom?
He's sure given the depot a loaf or something to choke up already.
Yes, sir.
You are Tom Cleveland, aren't you?
Yes, sir, I am.
I'm Matt Dillon, a marshal here at Dodge.
Pleasure, Marshal Dillon.
Your dad couldn't get into the day that he asked me to meet you and get you started off
to the ranch.
That's very kind of you, Marshal.
This is all new to me.
Ah, well, you'll get used to it.
I hope so, but right now everyone seems to be amused at something.
Well, the boys around here aren't much used to such style, I guess.
In Philadelphia, they told me this was the correct western attire.
Well, it's not quite.
At any rate, your father left a saddle horse for you at the livery stand.
A saddle horse, sir?
Well, isn't there any means of public conveyance?
Well, I'm afraid we don't have any public conveyances, Doc.
But I don't ride too well, except on a flat saddle.
A flat saddle?
I never heard of such a thing.
Oh, this is Chester Crockford, Tom Cleaver.
How do you do, sir?
How do you do?
It's my...
Your daddy sure is going to have himself a chore with you.
Chester.
You know, it's strange having a father after all these years.
What sort of a man is he, Marshal?
Your dad?
Nice.
I guess he's just an ordinary frontier cattleman.
Well, I guess we'll get on all right.
Yeah, well, I hope you will, Tom.
Now, watch this, Matt.
You ready, Tom?
Anytime, Dad.
He's fast, Matt.
He's a lot faster than I was at his age, that's for sure.
I'm in your holster, son, and I shut till the bottle's in there.
All right.
Draw!
Did you see it, Matt?
Did you see it?
Yeah, it's a good shot, Tom.
Thank you, sir.
You get four out of five of them every time right out there.
Another month and I'll be hitting five out of five.
I don't doubt it.
Well, Cleaver, I better be getting on in the town.
Nice to see you again, Marshal.
Same here, Tom.
Me and my boy have been working like this, Matt.
Three, four hours a day for working here two months now.
He's a born gun handler.
Is that all right?
When he come here and I hear how they laughed at him, Matt, I decided I was going to make
a man under that boy if it killed me.
Now, the idea is good, Cleaver, that there's more to it than gunslinging.
You can make a good shot in two months, but it takes longer to turn a boy into a man.
Well, maybe.
But he'll be treated like one, same as I've always been treated.
I've stood up to the best of them, Matt.
You know that.
Uh-huh.
I got time in Tascosa when I out-brewed the Waco kid.
He was a very good hitter.
But times are changing.
The laws here now and the law asks questions.
So just don't push him too fast.
Give him a chance to find something.
Find what?
I'm not real sure, Cleaver, but I know one thing.
He's not going to find a pistol holster.
What are you thinking about?
Take him to D 키.
Free yourself of old-fashioned ideas.

after all
he's my father
and maybe you can help him grow up
maybe you can
make a man out of him
i hope so
innocent time i think you will

william conrad
in nineteen hundred
twenty miles an hour very often was excessive speed
but in nineteen hundred as now speed is a relative concept
it's relative for instance to traffic conditions
an empty highway is safer than a crowded one
it's relative to the time of day
dawn and night driving is more hazardous than daylight
it's relative to weather conditions
rain sleet and snow means slow down
even on highways that are posted for high maximum speed limits
in other words
safe speed is a question of driver's judgment
police patrols can pick up a few of the most careless drivers
but the policeman that counts the most
is the one you carry in your own head
when he tells you to slow down and stop taking chances
listen to him
the life you save
maybe you're wrong
