[Western music] Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a US marshal and the smell of Gunsmoke.
[Western music] Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad, the transcribed story of the violence that moved west with young America and the story of a man who moved with it.
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet.
It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
[door opens] [laughs] Good evening, Matt.
Hello, Doc.
I've been waiting for you.
I'm all set up.
Ah, well, might as well put away that cribbage board.
We won't be playing tonight.
Oh, why not? Have you found an easier mark?
No, but you're gonna hightail it up the street once you hear the news.
Yeah?
Matt, Belle's back.
Belle? Uh, Belle who?
Belle who? Belle Ainsley, that's who.
[laughs] You got a mighty short memory for a man who used to eat dinner out at her place two and three times a week.

Besides, that was three years ago.
Oh, Matt, you know Doc gone well.
You-
Why don't you forget it, Doc? Um, is Jess Cryder with her?
No. She's come back alone.
Well, that's too bad.
