Red River1948

Tess:
Why does he [Dunson] think that way?

Matt:
Because he got to a place where, see, he'd taken empty land used for nothin', made it the biggest ranch in the state of Texas. Fought to keep it...one bull and one cow, that's all he started with...After he'd done all that, gotten what he'd been after for so long, it wasn't worth anything...So he started this drive. Everybody said, 'you can't make it. You'll never get there.' He was the only one believed we could. He had to believe it. So he started thinking one way, his way. He told men what to do and made 'em do it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have got as far as we did. He started 'em for Missouri and all he knew was he had to get there. I took his herd away from him.

Tess:
You love him, don't you? He must love you. That wouldn't be hard. [She kisses Matt on the lips] Did you like that?

Matt:
I've always been kind of slow in making up my mind.

Tess:
Maybe I can help. [They kiss again]

Matt:
I don't need any more help but will you do that again? [They kiss again]
