Episode 1 Scene 1

Scene 1
The Brodies’ car drives along the road during the opening credits. Hazel is singing a trail song, while Maybelle and Morgan are harmonizing and singing along. Cyrus and Buck ride up on their horses. Maybelle stops the car and they get out.

Cyrus – Well howdy there, ladies.

Morgan – Howdy, stranger.

Buck – Well if I aint much mistaken, (to Cyrus) aint they the strangers?

Cyrus nods.

Maybelle – True enough. We cleared out of Willow Creek when trouble a-started. We’re hoping to open a tavern out here.

Cyrus – Is that so? It seems like Lakeville here could use a tavern.

Buck – Trouble? What kind of trouble?

Hazel – An outlaw there took hisself a liking to Maybelle here. Oh, I’m sorry, we aint even been introduced. I’m Hazel Brodie. These are my sisters, Maybelle and Morgan.

Cyrus – I’m pleased to meet you. I’m Cyrus Grant. This here’s my partner.

Buck – Buck McCain.

Maybelle – So you two live around here?

Buck – Sure thing. We got us a nice little ranch about a mile from here.

Cyrus – Course there aint much stock on it right now. We’ve just come back from a cattle drive.

Morgan – Sounds dandy, to live on a ranch and all.

Cyrus – Say, have you thought of anywhere that you might set up a tavern yet?

Maybelle – No, we aint even barely seen the country yet.

Cyrus – Well, we’ve got a nice big house on the property. You could use all but a couple of rooms for the tavern, and we would get free room and board. How does it sound?

Buck – It sounds mighty nice to me to have some decent cooking around here.

Morgan – Kin we?

Hazel – Oh come on, Maybelle.

Maybelle – Well how can I refuse terms like those? It’s a deal.

Cyrus – Come on then, I’ll show you the way.

Buck – We’ll show you the way, you mean.

Everyone laughs, the girls get into the car, and everyone rides off.
