    “For some time now, Dad Kilgore...and old Winston Williams...have been feuding. Over what? Just anything that presents a problem...” (A, narration)

3. Escalation of the Feud

• The animosity is comically exaggerated: trespassing beef, vengeful shooting with pork rind, and childish one-upmanship.
• Eddie Dean tries to mediate:
  • (08:58)
    “Dad, I’m telling you. You know Winston—don’t quit disputin’, you can start looking for another foreman.” (Eddie)
• Both men are stubborn, unwilling to admit fault or make peace, causing problems not just for themselves but for the ranch hands and their families.

4. Romantic and Generational Tensions

  • (11:12)
    “This fighting’s getting serious, Mary. Your dad and old man Kilgore are in dead earnest…” (Eddie)

5. The Origin of the Feud—Exaggerated Pettiness

  • (13:10)
    “After the hog incident, one of my calves disappeared. And when I went over to Kilgore’s to inquire, he was feasting on a meal of baby veal.” (Winston Williams)

6. Eddie’s Mediation Scheme—A Tale of “Creative Negotiation”

  • (14:33)
    “I told Mr. Williams how upset you were about the whole thing. Then suddenly he broke down and acted a man about the entire affair.” (Eddie to Dad Kilgore)
  • Notable comic moments ensue as Eddie invents liver trouble (“kleptomania”) and stomach issues (“psychoneurosis”) to prompt reconciliation.

• Mary and Eddie collaborate, still anxious but hopeful.

8. The Reunion – Music, Humor, and Resolution

• Both families gather; the ranchers vie good-naturedly to take the blame for the feud.
  • (22:35)
    “May I apologize to you for all the worries and troubles I’ve caused you?” (Tom, Dad Kilgore)
  • (22:40)

• The Riders of the Purple Sage perform “After You’ve Gone,” adding musical warmth.
  • (25:02) “Yes indeed! That was plenty, boys. In fact it was fine!” (Winston Williams)
• The dinner features comic repartee: Winston refuses the chicken, suspicious it’s from his own missing flock, and the two men joke about each other’s “illnesses” (liver, stomach, “kleptomania”).
  • (26:45–27:20)
    “By the way, Tom, I’m anxious about your health. Just how is your liver? …I hope your kleptomania gets better. Quick, somebody pass something!” (Winston, then Eddie)

[C]

San Antonio.

[A]

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Nice being with you folks again. Right now, Eddie, let's Take a trip down to the Star Bar ranch and see what problems of the west are facing our men of the ring. I'm ready, Cotton. Let's go. Let's go. For some time now, dad Kilgore, owner of the Star Bar. And old Winston Williams of the next ranch, the Bar W have been feuding. Over what? Just anything that presents a problem. You can always be sure that dad and Winston will find two sides to it. And from there on, it's each man for himself. At first, no one paid any particular attention to their squabbles. But here of late, their troubles have grown to mammoth proportions. And Eddie Dean, foreman of the Star Bar, is becoming concerned over the situation. Dad, I'm telling you. You know Winston, don't quit disputing. You can start looking for another foreman.

[C]

I'm not feuding with him. I'm trying to be a decent neighbor.

[A]

The old fool won't let me.

[C]

Every time my back is turned, he strikes like a snake.

[A]

And he says the same thing about you. It's my job to keep work on this ranch going. But for the past month I've done nothing but settle quarrels between you two. And the boys are getting fed up with it too. How does it concern them? For one thing, you got old Winston so stirred up that our men can't even ride across his pasture anymore. Well, something to stay out of his pool, Pastor. We have to cross it to get to our east 40. Or ride five miles down to where you can cross the river. Why, yesterday he fired on him with a double barreled shotgun loaded with fat meat and pork rind.

[C]

He did, did he? Well, then I'll draw him one better. If any of these men are found on my property, laugh them with bucks about as big as a baseball.

[A]

You like to talk loud and long and noisy. But if you get right down to it, neither one of you would harm a flea. You just think I wouldn't.

[C]

I'm tougher than a 2 bit T.

[A]

Bone when I get started.

[C]

I ain't even begun to wind up yet.

[A]

Well, I'm going over to have a little talk with him. When I get his side of the story, then I'm coming back here and work on you. You stay away from him.

[C]

I can handle the likes of Winston Williams and I don't need my help.

[A]

Besides, you just want to be dear that daughter of his and Mary, his daughter feels the same as I do about this fight you two are carrying on.

[C]

Look here, Eddie.

[A]

Something's got to be done about old man William.

[C]

There What'd I tell you?

[A]

What happened today? Oh, he blasted us with his old double barrel shotgun.

[C]

Yeah, and he hit me.

[A]

I'm stung all over with meat rind, that's all.

[C]

Get the men together. We're gonna ride over and shoot it out. And this time with real power. Quiet down.

[A]

I'm gonna analyst. Where'd you hit you, Jim? Right there, eh?

[C]

Shot in the back.

[A]

Just like a watermelon thief. Never mind, boys. I'm gonna ride over and see the old man get this business straightened out. Now, we've got more to do around this ranch than to listen to two childish old men quarrel like kids.

[C]

I resent that remark.

[A]

You also resemble that remark.

[C]

I fired men for less than that. Shut up.

[A]

I'll saddle my horse. I'm going. Calling. Hello, Mary.

[C]

Eddie. How are you?

[A]

Fine, thanks. Where's your dad?

[C]

Well, he's out to the barn. Come here. He'll be back soon.

[A]

Thank you, ma'. Am.

[C]

I can imagine why you're here, Eddie.

[A]

This fighting's getting serious, Mary. Your dad and old man Kilgore in dead earnest with his student.

[C]

I sometimes wonder.

[A]

I'll stop wondering. It's getting to the point where it's got to be tough.

[C]

And to think how it all started.

[A]

Just how did it happen?

[C]

One of Mr. Kilgore's hogs got into our garden and just ruined everything.

[A]

And then.

[C]

And then the next day we had pork chops for dinner and it's been.

[A]

Growing worse and worse.

[C]

Oh, you can chatty now. Well, now. Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. Sure good for ya. Let's get off my property. Oh, now, Daddy, don't. Oh, you keep out of this, Mary. I'm a vicious man when there's trouble to deal with.

[A]

Mr. Williams, that's the reason I'm here. There should be some way to convince you and dad Kilgore to bury the hatchet.

[C]

Well, I wouldn't go spark say that, Eddie. After all, I have my pride up hole and the Williams pride isn't to be sneezed at.

[A]

Thank you.

[C]

By the way, Eddie, have any of the boys complained about my firing on them with my double barrel?

[A]

Yes, they have. Don't you think that Jerry that's carrying it a little too far? Why, one of the boys has taken pork rind out of his hide all day.

[C]

Well, that pork rind come off of old man Kilgore's hog that I killed. I'm just returning the hog to them the hard way. Well, it was all right as long as you and Mr. Kilgore. Kept your arguments to yourselves, Daddy, but now it's affecting all of us.

[A]

Mary's right, Mr. Williams. There should be some way to settle this question. In fighting you two are doing well.

[C]

I'm a peace loved man myself. But when you deal with a man like Kilgore, I say fight fire with fire. If you would stop to think about it, I'd say that neither of you know what you're fighting about. Well, yeah. Can't get along on that, daughter. No. After the hog incident, one of my calves disappeared. And when I went over to Kilgore's inquire about it, he was feasting on a meal our baby veal.

[A]

Why, anything could have happened to that calf, Mr. Williams.

[C]

Yeah, that's true, but looked mighty peculiar to me. And I don't want old Kilgore getting fat on my meat.

[A]

Look, why don't the two of you call a truce, agree to bury the hatchet and start all over again.

[C]

Now, look here, young man, you're not talking to John L. Lewis.

[A]

Nobody's calling you names.

[C]

Let me tell you, Eddie boy, I discuss this affair with all I care to. When old Kilgore comes to me with a proper apology, I will accept it. Until then. Well, it sure man said war is war. Well, good night, Giddy. I'm going up tomorrow.

[A]

Good night, Mr. Williams.

[C]

And please convey my contempt to your employer.

[A]

Well, Mary, I didn't get very far, did I?

[C]

I don't know what to do about them. Underneath it all, I think they would really like to be good friends.

[A]

You really think so?

[C]

I certainly do. One is just too proud to give in to the other.

[A]

You know, I've got an idea.

[C]

Well, I'm willing to do anything to bring those two together.

[A]

Now, listen, I'm gonna have a talk with dad Kilgore. Then I'll be back here in the next hour to talk with Mr. Williams again.

[C]

Well, what is your plan?

[A]

Just this. I'll tell dad Kilgore. That Mr. Williams.

[C]

So you've been over to see the old scoundrel, eh?

[A]

That's right, dad. Yeah, and it just goes to prove that all you have to do is use a little common horse fence.

[C]

Meaning what?

[A]

Well, I told Mr. Williams how upset you were about the whole thing. Then suddenly he broke down and acted a man about the entire affair. That's hard to believe, but what'd he say? He said he felt like he'd carried this thing too far and that he'd hurt a fine man. Huh? Meaning who? Meaning you. Well, at least I'm glad he recognizes the fact. He's pretty hurt. Dad Said he didn't understand why you hadn't been harder on him than you had. That a man of your standing in this community was due more respect than he'd shown you. Old man Winston said that? He certainly did. I reckon because of his illness he feels that kind of right is wrong. Illness? What kind of illness? Well, it's a liver disease. Oh, dear me. I think it's called kleptomania or something like that. Well, I'm always sorry to hear of a man having an illness.

[C]

Kleptomania.

[A]

You see, I think it'd be right nice, dad, if you'd accept his apology, wear the hatchet and call off his dude. He feels awfully bad about it. Well, you're right, son. If Winston is man enough to admit his mistakes, then the least I can.

[C]

Do is admit my own.

[A]

That's right nice of you, dad. Always knew you were a broad minded person. Yes, sir. And dad, on account of his skill, he said be right nice like if you'd kind of let him feel it. Well, put a little of the burden on your own shoulder. Well, that's right where it belongs, Son. This whole thing is just as much my fault as it is Winston's.

[C]

And I'm going to tell him so. Yes, sir.

[A]

I knew you were a real man, dad. Yeah. See, I've got it.

[C]

Why?

[A]

Suppose we invite Mr. Williams and his daughter over for dinner tomorrow and we'll have kind of a reunion fee.

[C]

Hey, that's a wonderful idea, Eddie. Wonderful idea.

[A]

I'll call him up right away. No, no, no, don't do that.

[C]

Why not?

[A]

Well, I'll have Mary bring him over as a kind of a surprise.

[C]

Say, that's better.

[A]

Good old Winston.

[C]

I always knew he was made of the real stuff.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[C]

Hiya, boss.

[A]

What's going on?

[C]

Hello, boys. Come right in. Good to see you.

[A]

Well, what's wrong? You're in a good humor. Never felt better in my whole life. Dad. And Winston and Williams are patching up their quarrels, boys. Yes, sir. Sir, that's the best news we've had yet.

[C]

Yes, and when Winston and Mary come over tomorrow, we'll have music and foot and a good time will be had by all.

[A]

Mary, it's working like it's gone. I've got dad Kilgore ready to do anything to make a man.

[C]

Oh, that's wonderful. Now I'll call Daddy and we'll get this family in Shape for the big event tomorrow.

[A]

Good. Here he comes now.

[C]

Well, well, Edward McGoy. You're back rather soon, ain't you?

[A]

That's right, Mr. Williams. I've just had a long talk with dad Kilgore.

[C]

What does the old reprobate know worth repeating in the presence of my daughter?

[A]

It's like this, Mr. Williams. I explained to him that I had a talk with you and then suddenly he broke down and just plain admitted that he'd carried his fight with you a little too far. Well, I to do is black so good, you know what? Yeah. Well, he said he felt that he had done a grave injustice to one of the community's most outstanding citizens.

[C]

Tom Jr say that about me?

[A]

He sure did. Well, he said he felt as if he had carried this thing too far and that he had hurt a fine man. Yeah, well, that's rather hard, believe you know it. I reckon it's on account of his illness, Mr. Williams. Illness? Tom E. Yes, sir. He some sort of a stomach ale. It's called psychoneurosis or something.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, I know what that is. I once had a pig died with it. Yeah, well, you know, that's too bad. You know, an ill man is quick to see the er. Of his ways.

[A]

Well, Mary, me was hoping that you'd kind of accept his apology. Horse ought to be an ingredient Nazi, you know.

[C]

But I feel that I'm as much.

[A]

To blame as Tom is, you know.

[C]

After all, I'm a vicious man of kind. You know that.

[A]

Then you will accept his invitation to dinner tomorrow?

[C]

Oh, it makes me rather happy. Yes. Accept him. Oh, that's wonderful of you, Daddy.

[A]

It sure is, Mr. Williams.

[C]

Yeah, you can never say that the Williams wasn't willing to do the right thing. Well, I must go to the room. I'll see tomorrow, eh?

[A]

Good night, Mr. Williams.

[C]

Good night, Daddy. Good night, Mary. Don't stay on the front porch too long now.

[A]

Well, how'd that do, Mary?

[C]

Wonderful, Eddie. Now, if everything turns out all right tomorrow, our troubles are over.

[A]

Then maybe you and I could talk of. Well, talk of maybe getting.

[C]

Let's wait until tomorrow to talk about that. Right now, here's Dad's old guitar. You're going to sing me a song.

[A]
