30 Where John Wayne and William Holden and Jeffrey Hunter form a aposse to go get Natalie,
31 bTaking Woody Strode and Ward Bond with them,
32 While Vera and Shirley Temple stay back at the fort waiting,
33 cWhich explains why John and Bill and Jeff take Maureen O'Hara with them when they stop at her house along the way,
34 dBecause the Indians are chasing them and they can't afford to leave her behind,
35 eEven though she's headstrong and doesn't want to go,
36 fUntil she finally figures out what a fine, brave, strong, loyal man John Wayne is,
37 gExcept that he's planning to kill Natalie when he finds her,
38 hBecause she's been living with Indian savages for so many years now,
39 iAnd besides, the Indians have scalped practically everybody at the fort,
40 jIncluding Henry Fonda,
41 kWhich means the posse is now completely cut off,
42 lAnd has to make a big stand all alone in Monument Valley,
43 mUntil another regiment of the U.S. Cavalry arrives at the last second,
44 nWhich convinces John not to kill Natalie,
45 Who has grown up to be an extremely beautiful young woman anyway,
46 And eventually goes back into the house with her family,
47 While John waits outside,
48 oFramed by the open doorway,

49 pThinking about all the things he's going to do when he finds Maureen O'Hara again,
50 Except that she marries qJimmy Stewart instead,
51 rAfter Jimmy gets so famous for killing sLee Marvin,
52 tEven though it was really John who killed Lee Marvin,
53 And then dies all alone with his secret,
54 Of course,
55 uExcept that Jimmy Stewart and Woody Strode come to the funeral,
56 Not to mention Maureen O'Hara,
57 Unless it was Vera Miles instead,
58 Which it must have been,
59 vBecause Maureen would have married John over Jimmy any day,
60 Unless she had married Jeffrey Hunter first,
61 Which must be what happened,
62 Because John Ford wouldn't make a mistake like that,
63 Which explains why all his movies will be great,
64 Just like this one will be,
65 Someday.
CHAPTER 241 Of course, John Ford won't be the only director who will make movies about the wild west,
2 Because there will be lots and lots of movies about the west,
3 Including movies about outlaws,
4 Gunfighters,
5 wCattlemen,
6 xSheep farmers,
7 Pioneer wagon trains,
8 Gamblers,
