1. - My Darling Clementine.Copy !req
2. We all learned this song as kids
and have never forgotten it.Copy !req
3. But though generations
have sung this tuneCopy !req
4. keeping alive the spirit
of the California gold rush,Copy !req
5. no one ever really knew
who this Clementine was.Copy !req
6. Well, in tonight's Tall Tale,
you'll get to meet her.Copy !req
7. And you'll discover why we think
her story inspired this
legendary American folk song.Copy !req
8. And the next time you sing it,Copy !req
9. you'll understand why
they call this special lady
"darling Clementine".Copy !req
10. - Clementine.Copy !req
11. [woman, echoing]: Levi!Copy !req
12. - Clementine!Copy !req
13. - Levi.Copy !req
14. - Clementine!Copy !req
15. Clementine!Copy !req
16. Clementine! Clementine!Copy !req
17. Clementine!Copy !req
18. Clementine!Copy !req
19. Clem...Copy !req
20. Clementine?Copy !req
21. Oh...Copy !req
22. Clementine.Copy !req
23. What am I doing?Copy !req
24. I saw her!Copy !req
25. I saw Clementine!
Down by the lake!Copy !req
26. I did, I swear!Copy !req
27. She was singing,
dancing on the lake.Copy !req
28. Sir, I saw your daughter.Copy !req
29. - Son, we're all missing her,
and I know how tough it is.Copy !req
30. We're all grieving for her loss?Copy !req
31. - Come over here and sit down.Copy !req
32. I'll get a little something
for your nerves.Copy !req
33. - I saw her.Copy !req
34. Just as sure as I'm sitting
here.Copy !req
35. She was just as real as...Copy !req
36. as she ever was.Copy !req
37. - Here.Copy !req
38. Oh, he saw her,
alright.Copy !req
39. He saw that golden ghost
dancing on the lake.Copy !req
40. There was something about
that girl none of them could
ever forget.Copy !req
41. Something about her that
changed their lives.Copy !req
42. And so, this is the story of
how Clementine became a legend,Copy !req
43. and of how her legend
became a song.Copy !req
44. It all happened
back in the gold rush of 1849.Copy !req
45. That's when gold was discovered
in California.Copy !req
46. Rumors were rampant.Copy !req
47. People were saying gold was
everywhere,Copy !req
48. that the streams were
so thick with gold,Copy !req
49. there was hardly
any room for the water.Copy !req
50. Something happened to ordinary
men when they heard these
golden tales.Copy !req
51. Leaving their jobs
and families,Copy !req
52. they'd drop everything
and head west,Copy !req
53. no matter if they were
in the middle of a shave or
getting married.Copy !req
54. Grooms left their brides
and preachers left the cloth.Copy !req
55. Gold was in their eyes,
and greed in their hearts.Copy !req
56. One little nugget could cause
a whole lot of trouble.Copy !req
57. But it was hard to blame themCopy !req
58. when the mountain sparkled
with gold nuggets the size
of watermelons.Copy !req
59. - Look at that!Copy !req
60. - Gold!Copy !req
61. Like old hound dogs
chasing a rabbit,Copy !req
62. the smell of gold made
men run fasterCopy !req
63. and farther than they
ever thought they could.Copy !req
64. But like most hound dogs
discover,Copy !req
65. the rabbit usually gets away.Copy !req
66. Most never found gold.Copy !req
67. Others never gave up.Copy !req
68. Like Lucky Jake.Copy !req
69. He added "lucky" to his nameCopy !req
70. because he was sure that one da
his luck would change,Copy !req
71. and he'd strike more gold
than he knew what to do with.Copy !req
72. But that day never came.Copy !req
73. What Jake didn't know is,Copy !req
74. the real reason he was lucky,
was because of his daughter
Clementine.Copy !req
75. She was worth more than
all the gold in all the hills
of California.Copy !req
76. Clementine was special.Copy !req
77. She had her own way
of doing things.Copy !req
78. Now heaven only knows
why Jake had the fortune to beCopy !req
79. the father of the only woman
in the mining camp.Copy !req
80. You see, miners were
superstitiousCopy !req
81. and thought a woman would
bring them bad luck.Copy !req
82. - Oh...Copy !req
83. Truth is,
those smelly old miners
didn't appreciateCopy !req
84. all that Clementine
gave them.Copy !req
85. That is except for one miner.Copy !req
86. - Get them bloomers!Copy !req
87. One day, romance
came into bloomCopy !req
88. all on account
of them bloomers.Copy !req
89. - How dare you?Copy !req
90. What's a gentleman like you
doing with a woman's personals
in his hands?Copy !req
91. - Oh, I'm sorry, Miss
Clementine.Copy !req
92. I didn't mean no disrespect.Copy !req
93. - You're new around here,
ain't you?Copy !req
94. - I arrived yesterday.Copy !req
95. - How did you know my name then?Copy !req
96. - Well...Copy !req
97. It's just kind of hard
not to notice the only lady
in a mining camp.Copy !req
98. - I'll be seeing you.Copy !req
99. - Here, let me help you out.Copy !req
100. - Why, thank you.
- My pleasure.Copy !req
101. Bye.
- Bye.Copy !req
102. Now, some folks
say there's no such thing
as love at first sight.Copy !req
103. But I ain't one of them.Copy !req
104. Come and get it!Copy !req
105. - And they were the size
of half dollars.Copy !req
106. - Half dollars?
- Yeah.Copy !req
107. - I was down by the river
and found you some more
mulberries for your brew.Copy !req
108. - Sure was a good idea putting
in them mulberries.Copy !req
109. Boys just love it.Copy !req
110. - I heard about a chap
out the river named Silvester.Copy !req
111. Now, one night,
just after midnight,Copy !req
112. he woke up hearing this soft
knocking.Copy !req
113. It was Tommy Knocker himself.Copy !req
114. - Tommy Knocker?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
115. Silvester followed the sound
of that knocking and he struck
it right then.Copy !req
116. - I heard that Silvester's
coming down here.Copy !req
117. - Silvester sounds like
an interesting fellow.Copy !req
118. - Daddy, have you met Levi?Copy !req
119. - Silvester is just lucky.Copy !req
120. Everywhere he go, he strikes it.Copy !req
121. - Silvester sounds more
and more interesting every
time.Copy !req
122. - These are excellent beans,
Miss Clementine.Copy !req
123. - Why, thank you.
They're the same ones I make
every night.Copy !req
124. - Tonight,
they're exceptionally good.Copy !req
125. - Thank you, again.Copy !req
126. - These beans are just the way
we make them back home.Copy !req
127. - How?
- Burnt.Copy !req
128. - You're always talking about
back home. You must miss it.Copy !req
129. - That'll teach you.Copy !req
130. - Yeah.Copy !req
131. - These herring boxes
are only temporary.Copy !req
132. I ordered myself a pair of real
pretty red high-top shoesCopy !req
133. through the mail-order
catalogue.Copy !req
134. - Gold!
- What?Copy !req
135. - She's got gold on her feet.Copy !req
136. - The mulberry patch.Copy !req
137. - I'll be back later.Copy !req
138. - It's alright. I got it.Copy !req
139. - What were you saying,
Miss Clementine?Copy !req
140. - Well, I ordered them
two years ago,Copy !req
141. but we don't seem to stay
in town long enough for them
to reach us.Copy !req
142. - It's a big problem.
I know exactly what you mean.Copy !req
143. Can I have some more of your
beans, Miss Clementine?Copy !req
144. - Sure.Copy !req
145. - One time, I ordered some
scissors, some needles...Copy !req
146. Took them almost six months
to find me.Copy !req
147. - I just keep imagining my shoes
lost between no place, really,Copy !req
148. and whatchamacallit, the town
we were in last.Copy !req
149. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
150. - These poor little red shoes,
just sitting out there getting
dusty.Copy !req
151. Just waiting for someone
to send them on.Copy !req
152. - Hmm.Copy !req
153. You know, these are the best
beans I've ever hard,
Miss Clementine.Copy !req
154. - Why, thank you.Copy !req
155. It is my special recipe.Copy !req
156. I call them "strike it rich"
beans.Copy !req
157. Because one time after I served
them, three miners struck it
rich.Copy !req
158. And ever since then, Daddy's
been eating beans every day.Copy !req
159. - Every day?Copy !req
160. - Every day.Copy !req
161. And he insists I fix them just
the way I did then.Copy !req
162. Daddy's kind of...
Well, you know how miners are.Copy !req
163. Superstitious.Copy !req
164. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
165. - One time, after finding a gold
nugget about the size of a bean,Copy !req
166. Daddy wouldn't take his socks
off.Copy !req
167. Wouldn't even let me wash them.Copy !req
168. Oh, my! You are a good eater.Copy !req
169. - Oh, they're so good.Copy !req
170. - Well, anyway,
Daddy just kept on wearing themCopy !req
171. until they finally just
dissolved right there
on his feet.Copy !req
172. Nothing left but a bunch
of threads.Copy !req
173. - You sure take good care
of your daddy.Copy !req
174. - I'm all he's got.Copy !req
175. - He's a lucky man.Copy !req
176. Would you... excuse me?Copy !req
177. Four helpings
of beans!Copy !req
178. Now it's plain to see that
Clementine and Levi are becomin
an explosive couple.Copy !req
179. But Lucky Jake has his own
plans for his only daughter.Copy !req
180. - Clementine, darling, I think
it's time we had us a talk.Copy !req
181. - Yes, Daddy.Copy !req
182. - I've been giving a lot
of thoughtCopy !req
183. and I think it's time
we got you married off.Copy !req
184. - Oh, Daddy, don't start
that again.Copy !req
185. - Clementine, you're getting
older.Copy !req
186. Men like to take younger girls
for wives.Copy !req
187. - You remember last timeCopy !req
188. when we were living
a the last mining campCopy !req
189. on the road number 7?Copy !req
190. And you invited that man named
Henry for dinner?Copy !req
191. And he couldn't keep
his head upCopy !req
192. and he fell right in his plate
of beans?Copy !req
193. - Well, he was tired.
He struck it big that day.Copy !req
194. - He was old, Daddy.Copy !req
195. Died, right there at supper!Copy !req
196. - I always knew we should've
asked him for lunch.Copy !req
197. - Daddy...Copy !req
198. - What would make me most happy,Copy !req
199. in my later years, darling
Clementine,Copy !req
200. is knowing that was well
cared for.Copy !req
201. What is most important
in getting you a husband,Copy !req
202. is finding a man of sufficient
means,Copy !req
203. preferably one who has struck
it, and struck it rich.Copy !req
204. Someone like that fellow
Silvester we was talking about
at dinner.Copy !req
205. The next day,
Clementine obliged to daddyCopy !req
206. and went to meet Silvester.Copy !req
207. Hard to believe Lucky Jake
would want his grandchildren
to look like him,Copy !req
208. he wasn't just ugly,
he was downright ugly.Copy !req
209. But Clem always tried to look
for the good in people.Copy !req
210. - Mr. Silvester!Copy !req
211. Mr. Silvester!Copy !req
212. Lucky Jake!Copy !req
213. How are you?Copy !req
214. This here is my young daughter
Clementine.Copy !req
215. As you can see, she's a
fine-looking young woman,Copy !req
216. with fine, strong bones,
come from good stock.Copy !req
217. And she's got herself a mighty
fine personality.Copy !req
218. Say hello to Mr. Silvester,
Clementine.Copy !req
219. - Hello.Copy !req
220. Nice meeting you.Copy !req
221. - Yeah.Copy !req
222. She's very talented.
She's an excellent housekeeper.Copy !req
223. She can mend and sow anything!Copy !req
224. She's a good cook.Copy !req
225. She can cook just about
anything.Copy !req
226. Her apple pie is probably not
just the greatest,Copy !req
227. it's probably the best west
of the Rockies.Copy !req
228. Probably the best in
the country.Copy !req
229. Probably in the whole universe.Copy !req
230. But she herself don't eat very
much.Copy !req
231. Well, she tried,
but there was a no good
in Silvester.Copy !req
232. He wasn't only ugly,
he was mean.Copy !req
233. And he was greedy.Copy !req
234. - Oh!Copy !req
235. Even greedier
than Lucky Jake.Copy !req
236. Clementine left those two
splashing over a nugget.Copy !req
237. And sloshed downstream to
someone who appreciated herCopy !req
238. for more than just her assorted
fruit pies.Copy !req
239. - Hi, Miss Clementine.
- Hi.Copy !req
240. - That was a very pretty tune
you were just humming.Copy !req
241. Is that anything I might know?Copy !req
242. - No. I made it up.Copy !req
243. Been humming it since
I was a kid.Copy !req
244. - Really?Copy !req
245. - How's it going, today?Copy !req
246. - Oh, fine, fine.Copy !req
247. - Any luck?Copy !req
248. - Oh, no, no.
There's nothing in this stream.Copy !req
249. - Been mining long?Copy !req
250. - Well, about six months.Copy !req
251. - Levi, I...
- See, I was on my way to San
Francisco to open a tailor shop.Copy !req
252. And everybody told me
I was crazy.Copy !req
253. And I had to come up here
and make my fortune.Copy !req
254. - A tailor shop.Copy !req
255. What an interesting line
of work.Copy !req
256. - It's been a dream of mine ever
since I was just a little boy.Copy !req
257. You know, it's real fascinatingCopy !req
258. to watch somebody make two
pieces of material into one.Copy !req
259. Just by using...Copy !req
260. a tiny little piece of thread.Copy !req
261. - I never thought of it that
way.Copy !req
262. But you're absolutely right.Copy !req
263. - Didn't I tell you
Mr. Silvester was a nice man,
huh?Copy !req
264. - Yes. Quite charming, Daddy.Copy !req
265. - Yeah. You see?Copy !req
266. - Hi.
- Hello.Copy !req
267. Levi!Copy !req
268. You idiot!Copy !req
269. That was gold!Copy !req
270. - Really, where?
- Out of my way!Copy !req
271. Whoever told you've got
hand for gold?Copy !req
272. I've never seen such a big idiot
in all my life.Copy !req
273. Jake, is that what gold
looks like?Copy !req
274. Oh, you wouldn't know
gold if it stood up, shook your
hand and...Copy !req
275. She not only knows how to make
a good apple pie,Copy !req
276. she could make
a gooseberry pie,Copy !req
277. and a great mulberry pie...Copy !req
278. Lucky Jake could
keep right on selling,
it didn't matter.Copy !req
279. Clementine's heart already
belonged to Levi.Copy !req
280. Come here, let me help
you with that.Copy !req
281. - Oh, I see you finally got your
paper, Mr. Yorkshire.Copy !req
282. They really got here fast.
It took less than three months.Copy !req
283. - There's no paper like
the London Times.Copy !req
284. - Well, it must be nice when
it's all in once piece.Copy !req
285. And the nuggets
were the size of a quarter.Copy !req
286. And the bin must've been
ten feet long!Copy !req
287. His donkey was so loaded
when he left camp, he could
barely walk.Copy !req
288. - They were as big as my fist.Copy !req
289. - He had solid gold nuggets
the size of grapefruits.Copy !req
290. His whole claim was solid
with them.Copy !req
291. - Any mending needs to be done
today, Mr. Ripple?Copy !req
292. - Oh, got lots, Clementine.Copy !req
293. - I mended half those pants
last week.Copy !req
294. - Boys are tough on them.Copy !req
295. - I need another round of your
brew over here, Ripple.Copy !req
296. - How's it going today,
Sneaky Pete?Copy !req
297. - Well, I've been kind of
cooped up in here.Copy !req
298. - Well, how come you're not out
there mining?Copy !req
299. - I think my luck has run off,
Clementine.Copy !req
300. - Why don't you just go back to
that ranch of yours in Oklahoma?Copy !req
301. - It's got all this black stuff
coming up out of the ground.Copy !req
302. - Can't you do anything with it?Copy !req
303. - Useless!Copy !req
304. It's still sticky.Copy !req
305. Once you've got it on you,
you can't get it off.Copy !req
306. - Who's the girl?Copy !req
307. - Cle... Clementine.Copy !req
308. - Give me the biggest pitcher
of brew you've got.Copy !req
309. And make it fast!Copy !req
310. Do it again.Copy !req
311. Ah!Copy !req
312. - I was just returning this to
you. It seems... you dropped it.Copy !req
313. Clementine had no
idea what was so funny.Copy !req
314. This Mountain Man was just a
big bully.Copy !req
315. Rude, and mean, and hairy.Copy !req
316. She couldn't determine whether
that fur was something
he was wearingCopy !req
317. or something he was
growing.Copy !req
318. And he smelled worse than
a bear on a hot summer's day.Copy !req
319. This was not the company or
the air quality this Clementine
preferred.Copy !req
320. - You prefer the cross-stitch?Copy !req
321. - Most of the time.Copy !req
322. I think it looks best.
Don't you?Copy !req
323. - Oh, it looks fine.Copy !req
324. It's not very strong.Copy !req
325. - Yeah, I know.Copy !req
326. I've resowed these more times.Copy !req
327. What is it about miners
that they're always ripping
their pants?Copy !req
328. - Oh, that's because this fabric
isn't made for a working man.Copy !req
329. See, these pants...Copy !req
330. These pants are made for
somebody sitting behind a desk,Copy !req
331. or for going to church.Copy !req
332. See, a working man's pants
ought to be made out of
something strong,Copy !req
333. you know, endurable. Like
the stuff tents are made out of.Copy !req
334. And they ought to be held
together with metal rivets.Copy !req
335. Not just thread.Copy !req
336. - Metal rivets?Copy !req
337. You've given this a lot
of thought, haven't you?Copy !req
338. - Ever since I was a kid when
I used to scratch my kneesCopy !req
339. and the patches my mom used
to saw on my pants,Copy !req
340. I've always thought that pants
ought to be made out of some...Copy !req
341. stronger material.Copy !req
342. - I never thought of it.Copy !req
343. And you're absolutely right.Copy !req
344. - You really think so?Copy !req
345. - I think it's
the smartest thingCopy !req
346. I've ever heard in my life.Copy !req
347. - I've never told anybody
this before,Copy !req
348. but one time,
I even cut up a tentCopy !req
349. to sew together a pair of pants.Copy !req
350. - You did?
- Yeah.Copy !req
351. - Did you wear them?
- Oh yeah.Copy !req
352. - And?
- They're a little rough.Copy !req
353. They caused, uh...Copy !req
354. They caused... a little chafing.Copy !req
355. - Sometimes, it just gets
so hot wearing these bonnets.Copy !req
356. They keep the sun
from giving you a red neckCopy !req
357. or a burnt nose.
- And they're fashionable.Copy !req
358. - But not practical.Copy !req
359. Just like long hair.Copy !req
360. I know men like it
and everything, but...Copy !req
361. When you're working outdoors...Copy !req
362. - I like your hair.Copy !req
363. I think your hair
is different.Copy !req
364. Unique.Copy !req
365. I think it'd cause a whole new
rush to the barber shop.Copy !req
366. Who cut it for you?
- I did.Copy !req
367. - All by yourself?Copy !req
368. - Well, wasn't gonna let
my daddy do it.Copy !req
369. - I think it's very pretty.Copy !req
370. - You do?Copy !req
371. - You're very pretty,
Clementine.Copy !req
372. You know, long hair,
short hair,Copy !req
373. it just doesn't make
any difference.Copy !req
374. - Thank you, Levi.Copy !req
375. No one's ever told me
I was pretty before.Copy !req
376. Thanks.Copy !req
377. - You must have struck
a big one, huh, Mountain Man?Copy !req
378. - This ain't nothing.Copy !req
379. - Huh?
- I've got nuggets...Copy !req
380. bigger than this!Copy !req
381. More than you've ever seen.Copy !req
382. - Oh, my God!Copy !req
383. - Ah!
- Ah, yeah.Copy !req
384. Get my friend here some
of your special brew, Ripple.Copy !req
385. It, uh...Copy !req
386. It must get kind of lonelyCopy !req
387. living alone up there
in them hills, uh?Copy !req
388. I bet it's been yearsCopy !req
389. since you had
a home-cooked meal!Copy !req
390. - I never had a home.Copy !req
391. - A man needs a woman
to make it one.Copy !req
392. A good woman
can make a man a homeCopy !req
393. anywhere he chooses.Copy !req
394. Even... Even in the mountains!Copy !req
395. Oh... oh yeah, yeah,
have a drink.Copy !req
396. - Ah!Copy !req
397. - Buy yourself some
stronger glass, Ripple.Copy !req
398. This tastes like candy.Copy !req
399. - See, you cross over
right here.Copy !req
400. - Oh, Levi, I don't know.
That looks a little rickety.Copy !req
401. - Oh, no, it's all right.
Come on!Copy !req
402. - But I can't swim.Copy !req
403. - Oh, don't you worry.Copy !req
404. I won't let you fall in.Copy !req
405. - Okay.Copy !req
406. It's beautiful here.Copy !req
407. - Told you it was. Here.Copy !req
408. - I've been thinking
about your dream of going
to San Francisco, Levi.Copy !req
409. - You were?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
410. I've come up with this.Copy !req
411. Dreams are made to pursue.Copy !req
412. Otherwise,
we wouldn't have them.Copy !req
413. - You know...Copy !req
414. I have another dream.Copy !req
415. - Another invention?Copy !req
416. - That you'd be my wife.Copy !req
417. - Your wife?Copy !req
418. - You could work
at a tailor shop,
right next to me.Copy !req
419. We could even put
your name on the sign.Copy !req
420. "Levi and Clementine's
tailor shop."Copy !req
421. - Levi.Copy !req
422. - If you'd just say yes,Copy !req
423. my heart would get down
out of my throat.Copy !req
424. - I would be honoured
to be your wife, Levi.Copy !req
425. But you've got to ask
my daddy first.Copy !req
426. - Oh... I'll ask him tonight!Copy !req
427. - Oh, I wouldn't do that
if I were you.Copy !req
428. - Why?Copy !req
429. - Daddy's got his heart
and pocketCopy !req
430. set on me marrying
a rich prospector.Copy !req
431. - Oh...Copy !req
432. Love is what makes
people rich, not gold.Copy !req
433. - I know.Copy !req
434. But Daddy's not exactly
crazy about you, Levi.Copy !req
435. - I know, I know.Copy !req
436. - In fact, he thinks
you're crazy.Copy !req
437. It's going to take me
a couple of weeks
to work on him.Copy !req
438. - Weeks?Copy !req
439. - Well, two weeks is nothing
in a lifetime.Copy !req
440. - Oh...
- Besides,Copy !req
441. it's important that
you pursue that dream,Copy !req
442. and go to San Francisco
and start looking around...Copy !req
443. and setting things up!Copy !req
444. - Okay.Copy !req
445. I'm going to go
to San Francisco.Copy !req
446. But I'm going to be back here
in exactly two weeks.Copy !req
447. And I'm gonna ask your daddy
for your hand in marriage.Copy !req
448. - Oh, where are you going?Copy !req
449. - To pursue my dream!Copy !req
450. - Now?Copy !req
451. - I'll be back here
in two weeks.Copy !req
452. I'll meet you right here,
under a full moon.Copy !req
453. - I'll make you a big
celebration dinner!Copy !req
454. - Beans!Copy !req
455. Clementine, you have made me
a very happy man.Copy !req
456. Two weeks!Copy !req
457. - Bye.Copy !req
458. Well, it took ClementineCopy !req
459. nearly the whole two weeksCopy !req
460. to work up the gumption
to talk to her daddy
about marrying Levi.Copy !req
461. Little did she know,Copy !req
462. Lucky Jake had spent
the last two weeksCopy !req
463. arranging a marriage deal
of his own.Copy !req
464. It wasn't that Clementine
and her daddyCopy !req
465. didn't see eye to eye,Copy !req
466. it was just who they were
seeing that was different.Copy !req
467. - He's been in San Francisco
the last couple of weeksCopy !req
468. pursuing his dream.Copy !req
469. He's coming back
tomorrow and...Copy !req
470. Well, he wants to ask you
for my hand in marriage.Copy !req
471. - Marriage?Copy !req
472. I'm glad you brought that up,
Clementine.Copy !req
473. - He's a real gentleman,
Daddy.Copy !req
474. And very intelligent.Copy !req
475. - Clementine, darling,Copy !req
476. you've always been able to find
the real good side in folks.Copy !req
477. That's a real virtue of yours.Copy !req
478. - Oh, it ain't hard,
Daddy.Copy !req
479. He's a very special man.Copy !req
480. - Hmm.Copy !req
481. - Do you know he even
sews his own clothes?Copy !req
482. - A big guy like that?Copy !req
483. I was wondering who sewed
them skins together.Copy !req
484. - Well, he may be
new in town and...Copy !req
485. I realize I haven't known him
that long, but...Copy !req
486. Well, I knew the first time
I saw himCopy !req
487. I wanted to marry him.Copy !req
488. - I think that's
the most sensible thing
I ever heard you say.Copy !req
489. - Any girl would want
to marry him.Copy !req
490. He's so tall and handsome.Copy !req
491. And he even likes
my short hair.Copy !req
492. - No one is taller.Copy !req
493. And I guess you could
call him handsomeCopy !req
494. if he fixed his self up.Copy !req
495. - Oh, I like him
just the way he is.Copy !req
496. - Love sure can twist
the mind.Copy !req
497. - You're the one who always
wanted me to get married, Daddy.Copy !req
498. - Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.Copy !req
499. And I finally found
the man of my dreams.Copy !req
500. - Well, Clementine, darling,Copy !req
501. I think you made
the perfect choice.Copy !req
502. We were just talking
about you over some brew.Copy !req
503. - He's back?Copy !req
504. He's not supposed to be back
until tomorrow night!Copy !req
505. - Well, a lot of men
can surprise you,Copy !req
506. especially
when they're in love.Copy !req
507. In fact, I invited him over
for dinner tomorrow night.Copy !req
508. - Dinner?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
509. Now, you be sure
to make a lot.Copy !req
510. Just be sure and don't use
that pretty crystal
of your mama's.Copy !req
511. - Oh why? We've been saving it
for a special occasion.Copy !req
512. - He's got a lot of mighty
peculiar habits.Copy !req
513. Of course,
once he gets married,Copy !req
514. then I'm sure it'll all be—
- Oh, Daddy!Copy !req
515. Oh, I better go start picking
some apples for my pie.Copy !req
516. - Yeah, all right.Copy !req
517. - It's got to be
extra special.Copy !req
518. - Be sure and make a lot!Copy !req
519. A lot!Copy !req
520. - Yes, Daddy.Copy !req
521. - A lot.Copy !req
522. The evening of
the prenuptial dinner arrived.Copy !req
523. Clementine's heart
was a flutter.Copy !req
524. She fixed an extra
special diner,Copy !req
525. set an extra special tableCopy !req
526. and bought herself
a brand new hat.Copy !req
527. For her, time couldn't
move fast enough.Copy !req
528. - I wanna look real pretty
for you, Levi.Copy !req
529. Meanwhile,
the mules wouldn't move
fast enough for Levi.Copy !req
530. - They're the best in the west!
Here we are.Copy !req
531. Clementine?Copy !req
532. Clementine, darling!Copy !req
533. This here is our special guest.Copy !req
534. The Mountain Man.Copy !req
535. - I thought you invited Levi!Copy !req
536. - Levi? That fool don't
even know what gold is!Copy !req
537. Why would I let him marry you?Copy !req
538. - But Daddy,
I want to marry him.Copy !req
539. - He's a hearty eater.Copy !req
540. And a nice man,
you'll see.Copy !req
541. After he's had a shave
and a haircut,Copy !req
542. he'll look almost normal.Copy !req
543. - She cooks good!
- Oh, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
544. - I'll take her!
- Take her?Copy !req
545. Daddy! What's he talking about?Copy !req
546. - Oh, Clementine, darling,
don't get excited.Copy !req
547. The Mountain Man and me
made a little deal.Copy !req
548. - A deal?Copy !req
549. Daddy!
- On second thought...Copy !req
550. - Let me down!Copy !req
551. - On second thought...Copy !req
552. Now, Lucky Jake
was not what you'd callCopy !req
553. a proud father of the bride.Copy !req
554. He had made a real bad deal.Copy !req
555. The worst of his life.Copy !req
556. And the Mountain Man,Copy !req
557. who thought he'd made
a great deal,Copy !req
558. had no idea who or whatCopy !req
559. he was carrying
on his shoulders.Copy !req
560. Clementine wasn't exactly
the obedient wifeCopy !req
561. he had bargained for.Copy !req
562. Meanwhile...Copy !req
563. - I made a deal
with the Mountain Man.Copy !req
564. - What?Copy !req
565. - I'm ashamed to say this,Copy !req
566. but I gave her hand
in marriageCopy !req
567. for a part of
the mountain man's claim.Copy !req
568. - You did that to Clementine?Copy !req
569. You ought to be
ashamed of yourself!Copy !req
570. - I said that.Copy !req
571. When I saw him carrying her off,Copy !req
572. I realized what a dreadful
mistake I had made.Copy !req
573. What will I do
without her?Copy !req
574. - What will we do
without her?Copy !req
575. - Yeah, who's gonna
talk to us?Copy !req
576. I told her all about home!Copy !req
577. - She's the only one who cares
about the London Times.Copy !req
578. - She was giving me
a recipe for wonton.Copy !req
579. With beans!Copy !req
580. - I... I guess I just
took her for granted.Copy !req
581. I never realized how much
she did for all of us.Copy !req
582. Mountain Man is not gonna be
an easy man to deal with.Copy !req
583. - Is he?Copy !req
584. Well, he'd just as soon kill you
and spit on you.Copy !req
585. Yeah.Copy !req
586. - We've got to do something.Copy !req
587. We've got to get her back.Copy !req
588. "We"?Copy !req
589. - Yeah, you're right.Copy !req
590. She's my daughter.Copy !req
591. And I'm the one that made
the deal with the Mountain Man.Copy !req
592. So, it's my responsibility
to bring her back.Copy !req
593. - Yeah.
- Come on.Copy !req
594. - Let's go get her.Copy !req
595. - I'm not going in there.Copy !req
596. I'm not going in there!Copy !req
597. - I made a deal
with your daddy.Copy !req
598. - Well then,
let him sleep in there,
because I'm not!Copy !req
599. - You're my wife.
You'll do as I say.Copy !req
600. - I'm not your wife,
we were never married.Copy !req
601. - I traded part of my claim
for you!Copy !req
602. - I'm not a horse,
you can't trade for me.Copy !req
603. - You do as I say
and get in there!Copy !req
604. - I will not!Copy !req
605. I won't!
- Yes!Copy !req
606. - I'm not!
- Yes!Copy !req
607. - I won't!
- Yes.Copy !req
608. - It was her apple pie
that was the best.Copy !req
609. - I beg to differ, sir,
but her gooseberry pieCopy !req
610. never tasted better
in London.Copy !req
611. - Oh, I've been in every
state of the Union,Copy !req
612. they're ain't no better
mulberry pie.Copy !req
613. - Yeah. You're all wrong.
It's her beans.Copy !req
614. She makes the best darn
beans in the world.Copy !req
615. Well, they say
the way to a man's heartCopy !req
616. is through his stomach.Copy !req
617. And the men were beginning
to realizeCopy !req
618. that it wasn't just
Clementine's beansCopy !req
619. that propelled them
up that mountain.Copy !req
620. Clementine?Copy !req
621. I'm back.Copy !req
622. Clementine?Copy !req
623. Knock-knock!Copy !req
624. Clementine, are you there?Copy !req
625. Ah...Copy !req
626. Our spot by the mill.Copy !req
627. - Woman! I'm losing my patience.Copy !req
628. You get in that caveCopy !req
629. or I'm gonna be forcedCopy !req
630. to use physical violence on you!Copy !req
631. Hah!Copy !req
632. - Don't you touch my daughter!Copy !req
633. Mountain Man,
I made a mistake.Copy !req
634. I'm calling the deal off.Copy !req
635. I want my daughter back.Copy !req
636. Look, I'll give you back
the 10% of your claim.Copy !req
637. - A deal's a deal.
- Well, I'm taking it back!Copy !req
638. - Well, I aint!
- Daddy!Copy !req
639. - I'll get you back,
don't worry, darling.Copy !req
640. - You ain't getting her back!Copy !req
641. She's mine!Copy !req
642. - Mountain Man...Copy !req
643. Mountain Man, now, listen.
Listen.Copy !req
644. Mountain Man, you and me
as rational men,Copy !req
645. I'm sure we can reach
some kind of an agreement.Copy !req
646. I'll tell you what.
I will give you 10%
of my claim.Copy !req
647. Okay, 20%!Copy !req
648. Okay, 50%!Copy !req
649. Okay, 75%!Copy !req
650. No! Don't you hurt
my daughter!Copy !req
651. You can have all my claim!Copy !req
652. All of my claim!Copy !req
653. My daughter is far more
important to me than any gold!Copy !req
654. - You can have my claim too,
just please, don't hurt her.Copy !req
655. - Yeah, here's my claim too.Copy !req
656. - Take my claim too.Copy !req
657. - Here's mine too.
- Mine too!Copy !req
658. - And mine too!
- Now, don't hurt her.Copy !req
659. Here's mine.
- And mine.Copy !req
660. - And mine!
- My claim too.Copy !req
661. - Don't hurt her, Mountain Man.Copy !req
662. - Here's mine, please,
let her go.Copy !req
663. - Will you pardon
your old daddy
for being so stupid?Copy !req
664. I don't know what was going
through my head.Copy !req
665. - I do, Daddy,
but it's all right. I love you.Copy !req
666. - Hey, this calls
for a celebration!Copy !req
667. So Clem was savedCopy !req
668. and the last laugh
was on the Mountain Man,Copy !req
669. for what the miners never knewCopy !req
670. was their claims
contained nothing
but fool's gold.Copy !req
671. Kind of appropriate,
ain't it?Copy !req
672. Meanwhile...Copy !req
673. And, meanwhile...Copy !req
674. - Oh, darling, sit.
- Oh.Copy !req
675. - Here you go, Clementine.Copy !req
676. Fixed up a little something
special for you.Copy !req
677. - Well, thank you.Copy !req
678. Hm, it's good.Copy !req
679. Nice and sweet.Copy !req
680. I think you ought to bottle
this stuff, Mr. Ripple.Copy !req
681. - Come on, hurry.
You haven't danced with me yet!Copy !req
682. - All right, Daddy.Copy !req
683. You'd better watch it!Copy !req
684. - You're gonna sleep well
tonight, Clementine.Copy !req
685. People always sleep well
under a full moon.Copy !req
686. - Oh, Levi!Copy !req
687. Daddy, I've got to go
meet Levi.Copy !req
688. He's waiting for me
down at the old mill!Copy !req
689. - Okay, darling.Copy !req
690. - Oh...Copy !req
691. Daddy, Levi wants
to marry me.Copy !req
692. - Do you love him?
- Yes, Daddy, I do.Copy !req
693. - Well, then go right ahead.Copy !req
694. I just want you to be happy.Copy !req
695. - Oh, thank you, Daddy.
Thank you!Copy !req
696. - Hey, Jake, come on!Copy !req
697. Clementine felt
like the belle of the ball,Copy !req
698. the toast of the tent camp,Copy !req
699. she had never felt so loved.Copy !req
700. Behind her was a room
full of minersCopy !req
701. that had given up everything
they had for her.Copy !req
702. And ahead of her,
waiting by the old mill,
was Levi.Copy !req
703. The man of her dreams.Copy !req
704. Now all that love,Copy !req
705. plus a couple of cups
of Ripple's brew,Copy !req
706. made Clementine
just a might giddy.Copy !req
707. - Clementine,
come on, please.Copy !req
708. Oh!Copy !req
709. Oh, oh!Copy !req
710. Woah!Copy !req
711. Levi was never the same.Copy !req
712. In fact,
none of the miners were.Copy !req
713. None of them would ever
forget Clementine.Copy !req
714. When they sang her song,Copy !req
715. they felt the warmth
of her spirit.Copy !req
716. In a few days,
they all left camp.Copy !req
717. Mr. Yorshire
went back to LondonCopy !req
718. where he published a newspaper.Copy !req
719. Sneaky Pete went back home
to OklahomaCopy !req
720. where he discovered
that the black bubbly stuffCopy !req
721. was called oil.Copy !req
722. Mr. Sum Luk
went to Los Angeles,
opened a restaurant.Copy !req
723. His speciality? Beans.Copy !req
724. Mr. Ripple went on to a place
called the Napa ValleyCopy !req
725. and bottled his brew.Copy !req
726. Lucky Jake went
to San FranciscoCopy !req
727. to help Levi pursue his dream.Copy !req
728. They succeeded, the most of us
still wear them today.Copy !req
729. Anyway, that's how come
we still call them Levi's.Copy !req
730. In all their hearts,
they knew that Clementine
changed their lives.Copy !req
731. She showed them
that their dreamsCopy !req
732. were more valuable
than any gold.Copy !req
733. And for that,
they'll never forget her.Copy !req
734. Wherever they sing her song,Copy !req
735. she's as real as she ever was.Copy !req
736. The warmth of her spiritCopy !req
737. will always be
in their hearts.Copy !req
738. And sometimes,Copy !req
739. real late on a summer's night,Copy !req
740. folks say they can still
see her ghost out there,Copy !req
741. dancing on the lake
in her new red shoes.Copy !req
742. difuzeCopy !req
