Original subtitles

What's it going to take to make you smile?

An act of Congress?

Well, all you heard then was a senator's full -blown adjectives.

I was listening to the prepositions.

There was a lot of ifs in the senator's speech.

If Scalplock will gamble on its future.

If the community conceivably demonstrates a civic character and a

progressive responsibility demanded by such a venture.

If, uh... And if the devil was serving highballs, hell, he'd be taking in

boarders. Why don't you forget the ifs and ands and the buts and those

prepositions or whatever you call them, and remember that there's a railhead

available to scalp off.

A railhead, you understand what that means?

So it takes a little cash and a whole lot of sweat.

Cash and calluses are what change the face of this country.

Have another drink. I think I like you better drunk.

Oh, you know something?

I think I do, too.

What are we stopping for? That's what I'm going to find out.

Go get up now, Harry.

I will for a fact.

Why?

Porter's the name.

Vince Porter.

My brother's name was Bob.

Barely turned 17.

17.

That age didn't seem to hinder him none when he pistol -whipped that girl to

death down Puma Flats, did it?

You see this bounty hunter?

The very rope they stretched him with. Well, I'm going to build your noose with

that same length of hemp.

You consider the factor was a judge and 12 men, good and true?

Found your brother guilty, sentenced him to the gallows?

Or is my name just the first on the shopping list?

What they did wasn't for profit, nor this neither.

The way I see it...

Bury and use like skin and wolf.

It was a genuine public service.

So is this train.

Among the benefits to its passengers is a built -in immunity to murder.

I put in two years snipping out this polecat. By heaven, I'm going to hang

I wouldn't hold my breath.

You just bought into a losing hand, Calhoun.

Make no mistake, it don't end here.

That man's mine.

If I gotta come through you to get at him, that's the way it's gonna be.

a home theme, Mr. Cowan.

Forget it. My life?

Not hardly.

You got any flaming hoops you want me to jump through, you just point me in that

direction.

Hey, Wadsworth.

Pleased to meet you, Mr. Wadsworth.

The sort of thing, an everyday occurrence in your life?

Well, some weeks are slower than others.

Seems to me a man in your position would be carrying a gun.

There's a mountain lion where a cow dies.

I'll come back, Dad.

I see you built me a ramp.

Did you swing it?

Well, we haven't swung it yet.

I promise the senator we mean business.

We'd better be able to prove it when he gets here. The BPSD can prove it right

now. Here, Raph, since we've been a little busy ourselves, would you care to

inspect the new general offices, Mr. Barrington? Well, yes, but tomorrow my

son's waiting for me. See you later.

And early in the day for that, isn't it, son?

Which?

The liquor or the lady?

Personally, I find that both taken in moderation have enormously salutary

properties.

Moderation? I'd say glutton.

Go on, Papa.

I'll concede there's a slight difference between the two, but since I am the

apple of your eye, indulge me.

Trouble is, I've indulged you too much. I'll take the reins.

The

ghost,

Papa?

Nothing, nothing.

Nothing was it.

So it's nothing that sets the nose jangling in that granite jar.

What's this?

You don't like it?

Where are the rugs and the drapes that I ordered?

Oh, right here.

Why are they up?

Look at that.

Now, that's got class.

Now, this.

That's got class.

But that?

I'd rather do business at the bottom of a mine shaft.

Which one of you is responsible?

Well, Ben, when... Dave!

Quick, give me a hand. I want to stop and hang by the time Danny gets in. Now

look what you've done.

What I've done?

I should have known.

One look and I should have known. Ben, please. Do you have any idea what this

office would have looked like done your way? Have you?

Well, certainly.

Be cozy.

That's how it'd look, cozy.

Cozy? Like a sporting house is cozy.

It's a whole lot better than a funeral parlor. My dear friend, you are the

president of a railroad.

This is your headquarters.

You're going to be receiving important visitors here. I mean men of wealth and

position and, I might add, breeding.

Now, do you imagine that under the influence of this, they're going to be

to concentrate on business?

No, they're going to be sitting here waiting for the dancing girls to come

I could be wrong, of course, but I seem to detect an

implication, a criticism against my taste.

Well, saints preserve us. I do believe I've struck a nerve.

Get a load of that.

Women. Poor misguided creatures that they are seem to think that they've got

monopoly on good taste.

Since when don't red go with red?

Boy, talk about base ingratitude. Fine, just have it your way. Go ahead with red

velvet drapes and how about sequined cuspidors and a few purple ostrich

Julie.

What do you want?

Well, they were fresh out of flaming hoops, Mr. Calhoun, so I... It's a good

year, too.

At least the man assured me that it was.

Of course, it's the only year that he had, which don't allow much room for

negotiating.

Harry Wadsworth, Julie Parson, Dave Tarrant, Barnabas Rudd. How do you do?

Some ritzy -looking office you got here, Mr. Calhoun.

Well, welcome to Scalp Lock, Mr. Wadsworth. I cannot tell you what a

is to meet a man of such rare good judgment.

Well, thank you, ma 'am.

Oh, I guess you ought to do this.

I'd do well to tap a beer cake.

Barnum, let's get the glasses.

Celebrate some special occasion?

Well, I thought you knew, Miss Julie. It's all over town.

Mr. Calhoun brought home the railhead.

You mean we got it?

Oh, no, I didn't know. No one bothered to tell me.

Try giving a word in edgewise around here.

I realize that I'm a stranger on the scene, but I would like to propose the

toast to Scalplock in a bright and shining future.

Thank you, Harry.

Well, it was nothing compared to what you did for me.

It was like a...

A pebble in a creek.

Say, they tell me that you run the local freight office.

Yes, that's right.

Well, that's hard to believe.

A delicate little thing like you.

Are you all right?

Well, it's a darn fool's stunt to pull.

Champagne on an empty stomach.

Well, when was the last time you ate?

As a matter of fact, I don't remember.

Ben, remember what I was saying to you just the other day about needing help in

the store?

It wouldn't necessarily be that golden opportunity you were looking for, but it

sure would cover room and board.

Well, Miss Julie, I...

Even if the wages were skunk weed.

Man be a fool not to take you up on that offer.

Just for the pleasure of your company.

Well, thank you.

Mr. Calhoun, why don't you try skipping a few meals? It might improve your

manners.

Mommy, this is good for your teeth, okay?

Good luck.

Planning on going into politics at the state level? You're going to start

locally.

Been watching you, Harry.

With your gift for being neighborly.

You could run for mayor tomorrow.

Shade the income for six to one.

Neighborliness comes easy in Scalp Lock.

Folks are natural and friendly and like...

Make you feel like you belong straight off.

Still, when you stepped off of that train, I'm sure your ambitions ran

than this.

Big takes time, Ben.

Practicing patience is what I do best.

No!

Well, seems I forgot to thank you.

For what?

For Harry.

You didn't forget to thank me.

Ben.

Have a little talk with you?

About the town meeting tonight?

Thought we had all of our strategies straightened out.

Not that.

Harry Wadsworth.

At first I thought he was just passing through.

Now I find that he's sinking roots, or at least trying to.

I'd like to know how come.

How come?

I suppose the same reason that any man would want to sink roots.

Maybe sprout himself a future.

Yes, but at whose expense?

Ben, it only takes one sick cow to contaminate a waterhole.

We don't need his kind around here, especially not now. Wait a minute. What

you mean, his kind?

Don't tell me you don't know that he's a bounty hunter.

No, I didn't know it.

For how many years he's plied his stinking trade? Ten at least.

Well, I know one thing for sure. He's not plying his trade right now in this

time. You can state that for a fact.

Can you state differently?

Ben, you are a complete fool.

Well, I suppose you can find a lot of folks that'll agree with you on that,

right. But I suppose we've all got a few skeletons hanging around in our

closets. Haven't we, Dan?

Are you closing in on a point, Ben?

Not anything specific.

The thing that puzzles me is why a man that I've seen browbeat tough cattlemen

and hardened politicians would all of a sudden get so up in the air over an ex

-bounty hunter that comes tumbling into town here without enough shoe leather to

strike a match on without burning his foot.

There's death in that man. Do you hear me? Death and destruction.

Listen to me, Ben.

In a few days, a United States senator will be stepping off your train.

He'll study us like so many bugs under a magnifying glass.

What do we do with Harry Wadsworth?

Sweep him under a rug until company leaves?

Then this is my town, too.

It's everybody's town, including his.

Then I want that man gone from Scumplock.

You want him to leave town?

Go and tell him.

Right down in the general store.

it's got a habit of finding its way into everyone's savings account.

But if you want that prosperity, we're all going to have to work, work hard.

Right now, Scalp Lock is dying on the vine.

It has very little commerce, no manufacturing, no industry.

Businessmen and merchants, they come in here, take a look, and then leave.

Without this railhead, in five years, Scalp Lock's going to become a ghost

The only thing that'll be moving up and down this street out here will be

tumbleweeds.

Amen.

Dan, you own the railroad, and Dan has to get his cattle to market.

Now, they're going to lose a lot less weight if they ride instead of walk.

And your freight line will do a lot more business without the rail. Is that the

way you figure it, Judy?

You know me better than that, Ben.

I hope so.

Now, Dan and I have promised the senator that we would instigate a building

program that would keep pace with the expansion that's bound to follow after

railhead's been established.

That expansion program includes a lot more than just whitewashing or painting

the fronts of a few buildings.

But what does it mean, Ben?

Skelblock isn't Chicago, and there's no point in our kidding ourselves that it

is. But what was Denver, Kansas City, or St. Louis before they became a

railhead?

I'm the mayor, but the mayor of what?

A town without a council, without a charter, a town without a sheriff. I

you, we're at the crossroads. We may never get this chance again.

I'm sorry, Ben.

It's all right, Mac.

It's a town meeting. We should hear from everyone.

Of course, it's going to take everyone to make it successful.

And it's going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of money.

But to show my faith in the future of Scalp Lock, I'm going to start it off

$1 ,000.

I'll add another thousand.

That makes it $3 ,000.

But only because I'm allergic to tumbleweed.

Welcome aboard, Jimmy.

Can anybody climb on that bandwagon?

My papa says I'm not civil -minded enough.

Just prove him a poor judge of character, I'd like to add this to the

In lieu of financial assistance, a priceless contribution to the scalp

cultural renaissance.

I thought you had your little joke, sonny.

Won't you return this to its rightful owner, huh?

Oh, can't we dispense with the middleman?

You look like you could do the job to me.

Good for a fact.

If I wasn't already comfortably employed.

Look, I'm not a rich man, but neither am I.

But I got money for a drink.

If you'll wait just about five minutes, I'll buy the drinks.

Now. Well, I'll be dogged.

You've talked my throat dry.

Now, you pack it in, yeah?

We came here to drink.

I knew I should have appointed a sergeant at arms.

You were asked to wait, I believe.

Now, you swap places with me, Pilgrim.

And I'll wait.

Oh, yeah.

You can just bet I'll wait.

garbage out of here.

Did you see it? Did you see that?

He snapped his arm like it was a dry twig. Come on, Harry.

What if that cowhance gun would have cleared the holster?

Harry's not even armed.

Thanks to your interference, he'd be dead right now.

But he isn't, is he?

I suppose that counts as somewhat of a disappointment to you.

A vintage year, the man said it was.

Of course, he was a shifty -eyed little mite that dealt three -card Pharaoh on

his side.

All right, Ben, all right.

And would you try a little of the jam, Miss Julie?

No, thank you.

Made from fish eggs, they say it is.

A little salty, but topped with a little dollop of sorghum. You already noticed

it. You keep it up and you're going to be topped with a little dollop of

molasses.

Beats anything I've ever seen. A little spare bone filly like yourself running a

freight line.

Ben Calhoun, you're jealous.

I'm what?

You heard me, you're jealous.

Well, I've been called thick -skinned, mule -headed, boastful, devious.

And I'm treacherous, lecherous, lustful.

And incorrigibly unscrupulous.

But no one's ever called me jealous.

In other words, you have absolutely nothing to recommend to you.

Come here.

I beg your pardon?

Come here.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to permanently correct that impression.

Maybe a good year for the grape.

Sure turning out to be a bad one for me.

Hope I didn't interrupt some important business.

Chances are we'll never know.

Man wants to talk. He should make sure the time's right for talking.

What would you like to talk about?

Well, you know what folks think about a bounty hunter.

To me, it was just a job like to a grave digger or a hangman.

Didn't have a trade or any craft of any sort.

I had no fuel for the soil that farming needs.

I'd tried punching cows, they'd just punch me right back.

But I never made a friend.

Never shared a joke.

Never slept in a bed that hadn't seen somebody else's backside that night

before.

You think there's riches in bounty?

Reservation engine eats closer to the plate.

Still in awe when I swung down off your train the other day.

Busted.

Flatter than a man with a Monday morning hangover.

It wasn't failure setting me down, but just a whole lot of lonesome.

I got friends now.

Thanks to you.

And a place to be from.

And I want to keep it that way.

That's why this decision don't come easy to me.

What decision?

Well, it seems that Mayor Osborne and a bunch of the village elders put their

heads together and... come up with this.

Buck, it's a funny place to be wearing a sheriff's badge.

Well, I haven't accepted yet, and that's what I want to talk to you about.

Why me?

Then there's facts that folks around here just don't know about me.

The way I look at it, the man's past is like... like yesterday's newspaper.

Dan Barrington subscribed to that philosophy, does he?

No, I suppose he doesn't.

But neither does he dictate the policies of scalp block.

There are a lot of things you'll have to remember if you become sheriff.

One is that you're going to be dealing with a lot of dirt.

You can keep the streets clean, all right.

But there'll still be an awful lot of mud that'll stick to your boots.

Another thing a sheriff has to do, he has to say no a lot.

When many times, yes would be a far more popular answer.

Honor and dignity.

Those are labels never been pinned on me before.

This town's on the move.

I'd like to move with it.

Then why don't you?

Put the badge on.

He's been around this town a long time. He knows what it needs.

If he wants you for sheriff, then obviously it's because he thinks you're

right man.

Being needed.

I guess that says it all, don't it?

You made that killer a sheriff.

The town made him sheriff.

But you concurred. I didn't object.

When the streets are littered with innocent corpses, maybe then you'll come

your senses.

Why don't you stop trying to cut a man down just because you've got a personal

grudge?

If you've got a legitimate charge to make, then make it.

If not, as you can see, I'm busy.

Ben, this is me you're talking to.

An old friend.

Didn't behave like one. So will I.

You're not making it easy.

Are you?

Dan, you're rubbing me.

I'm getting saddle blisters.

There's nothing in our working relationship, Dan, that says we have to

from the same cup.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Back it up, Mr. Franklin.

What was that?

What did it look like?

Cyclone with a bellyache.

That's what it was.

Hey, Sheriff.

You talking to me, sonny?

Is there another sheriff on the premises?

I reckon not.

What was he wanted?

A point of information.

How come our big, bold peace officer doesn't pack a gun?

Isn't that standard equipment for dealing with thieves, blaggards, and

insurrection? That's the easy way.

I'm not being paid to do it the easy way.

Besides, it's more fun to break a man's arm. Right, Sheriff?

That's a liquor talking, sonny.

We'll make sure it don't talk too much.

Sheriff.

The second point of information.

How come my daddy doesn't like you?

When it comes to liking a body, there's only two ways to cast a vote.

And he cast his.

I'd like a straight answer.

What would you do with it if you got it?

Sheriff. Sheriff, I ain't through talking to you yet.

Lord, don't play around with that. Oh, shut up.

Just full of contradictions, Harry.

Portly manners and then explosive violence.

Like draping a lace shawl over a stick of dynamite.

I tell you, you're a Chinese puzzle to me.

I don't want to be a puzzle to anybody.

Especially in this town.

Well, you've a staunch champion in Ben Calhoun.

I guess you know that.

Everything I have, I owe to him.

My life included.

What I don't owe to you, that is.

I'll be able to pay him back some way, but I'll never be able to work off my

debt to you, Miss Julie.

Harry, there's nothing to pay me back for.

Now, listen, when you know me longer, you'll realize that whatever else I am,

am a shrewd businesswoman.

I don't make bad investments.

And you've earned your wages, and don't you forget it.

I reckon you don't entirely grasp my meaning.

I don't hold up my life for admiration.

You see, all those names and faces, they don't make for a soft pillow.

That's a fact.

Living the way I did, my wife and kids were never in the smallest part of my

mind.

But they are now.

You understand what I'm saying, Miss Julie?

Yes, I understand.

Just as long as I got it said.

Good night.

Good night.

There's $5 ,000 here. Take it, it's yours.

There's a horse saddled and waiting for you at the livery stable.

You could be long gone, come sun up.

I never took a nickel I hadn't earned first.

You should know that.

You'd earn it by leaving scalp lock.

Subtracting me won't subtract the burrs from your bed blankets, Mr. Barrington.

Put your money where I'm staying.

What do you want?

I got what I want.

And you got what you wanted.

And you remember it that way.

Prettiest thing I ever saw.

What is it?

It's not a conestope wagon.

You didn't buy it, did you?

Made a deposit on it.

You what?

Well, Ben, somebody must have left you standing in the sun too long. Why don't

you let a man finish? I made a deposit on the model.

Oh.

Galvin?

What do you want?

He knows.

You for Harry Wadsworth. That's the swap.

What makes you think he's even here?

You for him. Any argument?

Now, there's no reason for that. None of us are armed.

Stay where you are.

Boy, if you've got any feelings for these fellows, you go fetch that Harry

Wadsworth. And you remember something here.

You remember him.

Now, Wadsworth comes peaceful, and he comes ignorant.

You got it?

You play it any different, the undertaker is going to be hiring help.

I told you, Calhoun, Harry Wadsworth is mine, and I am going to hang

him.

He told me not to warn you or let on or anything.

Or he'd kill Mr. Calhoun.

But from the looks of him, he'll do that anyway.

Sheriff, you gotta figure a way out of this. Ah, easy, boy. Just easy.

You stop fretting.

You think this is gonna be dandy. You just do as I say, huh?

It's gonna be fine. It will.

Really.

There's one street in this boomtown.

How long does it take to get a man and bring him down here?

Fifteen seconds, Cabo.

Then I'm all done waiting.

I warned you what to expect if you came back empty -handed.

This little episode should give future troublemakers some food for thought.

I'd say, Sheriff, that you'd earned a year's wages your first week in office.

That's kind of you, Mayor.

I'm sorry there wasn't some way of accommodating those three short of

them. Oh, Harry, you saw your duty and you did it.

There's no call to reproach yourself.

The smartest thing I ever did was pick you for the job.

That and leaving Texas.

Why'd you kill him, Harry?

Why? The first two, it's understandable.

They had their guns out.

Everything happened so fast, there was no time for neatness.

The third one, running away.

Running, that's right.

You ever try to hit a moving target?

Well, a bullet's got a mind of its own.

I examined that corpse.

The bullet was right smack between the ears.

Are you a crack shot?

You could have hit him in the leg easier than you could have hit him in the

head. Yeah, and six months later, he'd be out prowling the streets again.

Isn't that for a judge and a jury to decide?

You've got a funny way of thanking a man for saving your life.

I know.

I was in that position once.

I saved yours, remember?

Maybe now you're regretting it. Is that it?

Then he was garbage.

They all were.

We can't have their kind running into town like that, dirtying up our streets.

Killing them was like lancing a boil.

The senator's going to be here soon. Now, we've got to show them a bright and

scrub face, right?

When I took this job, you said to me, the sheriff, he sweeps the streets, but

don't win no popularity contest.

Now, I don't care about the rest of them.

But I thought that you and I were friends.

We are friends.

Because we're friends, I'm going to suggest that you resign.

Resign?

At least give some consideration.

Because in the performance of my sworn duties, I gunned down three scrubby

buscaderos, I'm supposed to quit, huh?

No, not because you killed them.

Because you enjoyed killing him.

You scared me to death.

What are we celebrating now?

Well, that's up to you.

I've been trying to track down a vagabond decimal point here for about

hours.

Tomorrow's the first of the month, and if I don't get these books... You're

through with those ledger books now. That's no life for you.

You belong behind a cook stove.

Who, me? I don't know the difference between a coffee burner and a butter

churner.

Well, you'll learn.

You know, I was talking to the mayor not more than an hour ago, and he said

there's a merchant in Hortonville just panting to buy you out. They pay top

dollar, too.

I should think so. He'd start a fool not to.

Now that the railhead's coming in. Well, see, that's just my point.

Your property's double in value.

It's a seller's market.

And the mayor was telling me also about a little hunk of land down there by the

creek. And it's just as pretty as a postcard.

We could live in your house while we were building.

Whoa, boy, you're going too fast for me.

Well, I gotta go fast.

All those wasted years.

I got a belly full of hunger just crying out for cake.

It's what we both want, ain't it?

Oh, Harry.

What are you?

Miss Julie, I got a place here in Scalpelock, and I want to keep it.

And I got plans, too.

Somebody said I ought to go into politics.

Well, why not? I mean, when the cards are running for you, you got to ride

them all the way.

There isn't a woman born that isn't flattered by a proposal.

I mean... Oh, amen.

Don't say anything more.

You just sleep on it.

I'm anxious, sure, but that champagne there, it waited six

years. One more day ain't gonna make no difference.

I don't have to sleep on it.

I'm sorry, this is just terrible.

Last night when you walked me home, you made your intentions perfectly clear,

and I guess I should have said something then, but it's hard. I mean, nobody

likes to step on someone else's dream, even if the dream includes them.

I'm sorry.

No, that couldn't be.

This couldn't be.

You were too sweet.

You know, you're just too special toward me.

But that wasn't hard, Harry. I like you.

I like you very much. Everyone does.

You like Ben Calhoun better, is that it?

That doesn't have anything to do with it.

It's how it is, isn't it?

That's how it always was.

No. You were just using me just to make him jealous, weren't you? Come on, admit

that now. You were just using me, weren't you?

Weren't you?

No, that's not it.

Come on, admit that now. Come on, admit it.

You want me to go get Mr. Calhoun?

No.

You better not tell him anything about this.

I got so many notches on my gun, I could use it for a bear cub teething ring.

That ain't all I've meant. You know, you asked me why your pappy didn't

cotton to me.

I think that you deserve an answer.

You see, old Dan, he come out with a story that your mama was took with a

fever.

Your pappy fibbed to you, boy.

I guess besides him, I'm the only one that could tell it how it was.

About 12 years ago this coming May, he was just a little shaver then.

Your mommy, she just picked up stakes and vanished.

Well, old Dan, it didn't go down easy.

But old Dan, he said, well, it was a tough life. And she was a delicate

One foot in Philadelphia.

The hens out there clucking their heads off her grain. She's in the parlor doing

needlepoint.

And one day...

Word comes back that it wasn't home and mother that his little lady went

to, but no galleys.

Straight into the arms of a drummer.

You're lying.

No, I'm not.

No. I'm giving it to you chapter and verse, boy.

One thousand dollars. That's what old Dan said.

Just find him.

Well, I found him.

You can imagine under what conditions.

That drummer, he had a little old Derringer. Well, no bigger than a

Didn't pack half as much of a sting.

Never seen a man die with such an astonished look on his face.

I told your mama she'd have to come with me.

That was part of my deal.

But she wasn't a mind to.

We were one flight up and the window was open.

I guess she figured that one story was enough.

It wasn't.

She was three days dying.

I'll kill you! I swear I'll kill you!

Maybe.

Anyhow, you're going to get your chance.

I'm going to meet you over at the depot tomorrow morning.

You better locate yourself a gun.

You have yourself a good night's sleep.

Your sheriff called Lloyd out.

That's what I heard.

Three fresh graves aren't enough to satisfy that killer you brought into

Now, let's get one thing straight.

I didn't invite him to come in here.

It was his own idea I made to supply the transportation.

Yes, but ever since he got here, you've defended him, boosted him every chance

you got, even though I told you what could happen.

This is no time to argue about it.

I came here to tell you that if Lloyd walks outside, he's as good as dead.

He's not going out there alone. I'm going with him.

Very noble.

Also very foolish.

It's the only way.

Quite some time now you've been telling me that Harry Wadsworth is my

responsibility.

If that's true, then I'm going to accept that responsibility.

Now.

Oh, Ben, where are you going?

To see Harry.

No, no, that's just what he wants you to do.

He's jealous of you, Ben, and he's counting on you doing exactly what

doing. It's not Lloyd's death he wants, it's yours.

In that case, it doesn't make any difference, does it?

It's going to be me, either now or later.

There must be some other way.

There is.

It's going to be up to Harry to take it.

I don't need him to fight my battles for me.

Dan, you better talk some sense into that boy here.

Son, things have never been easy between us, and chances are they'll get even

worse. But Ben is right.

And this one time, you're going to do as you're told.

Lloyd, it's not your fight.

Out there, you'd only be Ben's proxy.

And a dead proxy at that.

He'd kill a dozen men to get to Ben, if that's what it takes.

But, Dave, gunplay is Harry's stock and trade.

It was Ben's, too.

Before I got lucky in a poker game and won a railroad.

Train's pulling out tonight. Gonna pick up the senator. Big duns tomorrow.

That's right.

times, right?

I was expecting someone else.

Were you, Harry?

No, not actually.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Sure does.

You can get on that train right out of here.

Everybody's quits.

Right out of town?

Ben, I like it here.

For the most part, it likes me.

Leave Scalpelot.

Calhoun, I want to tell you something.

I got you plumb up to here.

Ben Calhoun this, Ben Calhoun that. It's like a town and everybody in it is out

to nominate you for God.

Well, the job's already been filled.

Are you, Harry?

I had too much talking and not enough shooting. Now I'm fast.

I don't want any rumbling afterwards about how I tarnished this badge by

advantage.

So you go ahead and make your play, Calhoun.

I'll wait.

And if I don't?

You gotta.

Otherwise, Barrington's kid don't see sunset.

You never told me you were that good.

You never asked.

This goes to show, you should never take anything for granted.

I would have been a good sheriff.

Only I... Only...
