The following program is brought to you in living color on NBC.

There you are.

Howdy. One beer, cold and wet.

Well, it's wet most of the time.

Cold, the odds are eight to five, the customer on the short end.

I'll take the chance.

- There you are. - Thank you.

I got lucky.

- Give me some whiskey. - Sure, cowboy.

Hey! Watch who you're bumping!

I didn't bump you, mister.

What do you mean? You bumped into me, you made me spill my drink.

Look, I just told you, friend, I didn't bump you.

- I didn't even move. - Are you calling me a liar?

I really don't think it's worthwhile calling you anything.

What's that supposed to mean?

Anything you want it to mean.

Real friendly place you got here.

You!

You ain't never gonna call nobody else nothing!

You really think it's worth getting a man killed for?

Yeah. Yeah, you go ahead and beg me. I might listen.

And then again, I might not.

Much obliged.

Well, ain't much good in a fella

that'd interrupt a beautiful music selection.

- How about a drink? - I don't know, why not?

Beat it.

Nothing but trouble with some of them saddle tramps.

A couple of drinks and they're out to gun down the world.

You better watch out for that cowboy. He looked mean.

I noticed that. How about another one of those wet beers?

- I spilled most of the last one. - Coming right up.

- What do you want? - Wet beer sounds unusual.

- I think I'll try one. - Make it two.

- By the way, my name's Joe Cartwright. - Oh, Tracy Blaine. Pleased to meet you.

- Ah, good. - These are on the house.

Well, thank you very much, sir.

I'm just passing through here. Are you permanent in this part of the country?

Oh, anyplace I unroll my blanket is my part of the country.

- You got any family? - No. I ain't got none.

A man's always got friends, huh?

Oh, sure, I got friends all over the place.

Got 'em in five states and two territories.

- What kind of work do you do? - Cowhand mostly.

I do anything. Of course, I ain't never been president of the United States.

Guess that's a different kind of job.

But I don't think there's much difference in being a cowhand

at the Circle Y around here, or a cowhand at the BJ down Texas.

You worked at the Circle Y? I just came from there.

Cartwright! You may be one of the reasons I quit.

Yeah, they were gonna have me baby that new herd you were bringing in.

They gonna have me working so hard it would have interfered with my music.

I'm sorry. Had I known, I never would have delivered the herd.

Oh, I was gonna move on anyway. Doesn't matter.

That takes a big load off my mind. Anybody can deliver a herd of cattle,

but I hate to think I interfered with a guy playing a solo guitar.

- I mean, that's really something. - It's nice to meet a true music lover.

You said you were moving out. Where you heading?

Well, I been north, so that leaves south, east and west.

I just get on my horse and just go.

Listen, I'm riding southeast. Why don't you come along?

There might even be a job for you at the Ponderosa.

Well, I don't know. I got a month's pay weighing me down.

I don't know what I need a job for.

There's nothing wrong with another month's salary.

Fill that other pocket. You won't have to ride out of balance.

I don't know.

Seems like such a waste, carrying all that money around

when you can travel light, just drift, be free.

Well, suit yourself.

- Thanks again. - Yeah.

Hey, look. I don't know about the job, but...

- I'll travel down there with you. - Good enough. Let's go.

You know, something's the matter with me.

I was gonna sit here, I was gonna drink and get drunk

and spend my money, have a good time.

And a total stranger talks me out of it.

Know what's the matter with me? I got no character.

See you. Bye.

- How about a tune? - Do I have a choice?

- Pretty good. - Yeah, well, you know.

You finished?

What'll it be, cowboy?

My name is Fargo Taylor. I'm looking for a man.

Well, if you don't see him here, he ain't here.

I'll ask the questions, you'll answer.

If I whistle, you'll dance.

If I tell you to lay down and roll over...

I... I lay down and roll over.

Young, got a smart mouth, about six feet tall.

- Has he got a name? - A dozen.

Brown, Baker, Appley.

Uses a first name of Clint or Tracy most of the time.

Plays a guitar.

A fella... A fella like that was here.

Where is he now?

Well, he...

He rode out about... two, three hours ago.

Where to?

- Well... - Where to?

He said he was...

heading for the Ponderosa.

Thank you.

I can't tell you how grateful we are to you, Tracy, for what you did.

Anything we can do for you, you just let us know.

That's a might handsome offer, but I can't think of anything I'm short of.

You know, I did tell Tracy we'd have a job for him here.

- Well, of course, certainly. - Well, thanks very much.

As long as I don't have to say how long I'll stay,

- I might take off any minute. - Well, that's fair enough.

Joe, did you get the cattle delivered to the Circle Y in good shape?

You bet I did. Got 'em delivered, checked out and receipt given.

- Ah, good. - Thompson's gonna get that money

- he owes us from Wichita. He said... - We'll talk about that later, Joe.

Uh, those horses need looking after. Hoss, will you take care of that,

- and show Tracy to the bunkhouse? - Yes, sir.

I'll see you. Hey, Pa, I wanna tell you about the money. You said...

I told you we'll talk about it in the house.

Come on.

What was that all about?

- What do you know about Tracy? - What do I have to know?

Probably nothing, which is exactly what you do know.

- He saved your life and you like him. - Sure, I like him. And I trust him.

- Don't you? - Let's say I like him.

Certainly I like him for what he did for you.

That doesn't mean that I mistrust him,

except you don't have to start telling him about all the money

- that's coming to this place. - Ah, come on, Pa.

What you're saying is that he has to prove himself innocent

- before you decide he's not guilty. - No, I'm not saying that at all.

Well, what are you saying then?

I see a sheep dog, he wags his tail, that marks him as friendly.

That doesn't mean I put my hand in his mouth until I'm absolutely certain

- he's not part wolf and won't bite it. - All right, listen, let's forget it.

- I don't wanna argue about it, Pa. - Now, Joe, I know exactly how you feel.

He saved your life and you're loyal to him.

That's the way it should be.

Now, what about the money?

The bank messenger from Wichita will bring it right here to the house.

- Good. - I'll go clean up.

Joe.

I think Tracy's gonna make a good addition to the Ponderosa.

I'm glad you brought him.

♪ I'm happy and contented as I can be

♪ 'Cause I got Laurie in love with me

♪ Got no problem that I can see

Except Sally.

♪ Oh, Sally can sew and she can spark

♪ The sparking we do lights up the dark

♪ Should be happier than a lark

But there's Marcy.

♪ Marcy can't cook and she can't plow

♪ She really don't have to anyhow

♪ What she does they shouldn't allow

Not often.

♪ I meet lots of fillies as I ride by

♪ Might dis-remember to say goodbye

♪ And oh they sob ♪ And my, I cry

♪ Sometime till sundown ♪

You know, he sang that thing all the way in from town?

Three calves came up, started nuzzling up against.

Thought it was their mother.

I had a chance to let him get shot, and I passed it up.

Joe, you shouldn't say Tracy's singing sounds like a cow bawling.

I'd say it sounds more like a sick coyote.

Another music lover.

Well, listen, I'm gonna go get some sleep. You go right on with your singing.

- But just not too loud. I gotta sleep. - I think I'm gonna join you, Joe.

- Good night, gentlemen. - Good night.

- Clay? - Is it clear?

Would I be here if it wasn't?

The money's coming in from Wichita,

just like I heard back there at the Circle Y.

- Are you sure you're right? - You just be ready on Thursday.

There'll be $10,000 waiting for us to pick up.

Right down there on the Ponderosa.

Well, the Wells Fargo men and the shotgun riders

- are back on their way to town. - Good.

You know, funny thing, you turn a herd of cattle into money,

you end up with something takes up a lot less space, don't you?

- Yeah. - You can't get it to the bank today.

You figure on leaving it in that tin box?

I'll have you understand, son, that I paid $50 for that tin box.

Pa, I got news. They saw you comin'.

Well, get all those fences mended?

Yeah, we worked our way down to Tawny Creek.

We'll finish the rest of the south end tomorrow.

- Oh, good. He's a pretty good worker? - Yeah, not bad. Not bad at all.

We may hire him to mend all our fences.

Wait a minute, I'm not that good.

Howdy. Anything we can do for you?

Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.

- What is this? What do you want? - Stay out of this. It's him I want.

- What? - Drop your gun belt.

I don't even know you!

Drop your gun belts or I drop you. I don't care which.

- You the law? - The gun in my hand is.

You get bull-headed, you make my job easier.

You're wanted in Tucson, dead or alive.

So you're a bounty hunter, huh?

I've had enough talk. Move out.

Tracy, are you wanted in Tucson?

- No, sir. - I say you are. You comin' or not?

Look, mister, I don't know who you are, but I know I'm not wanted anywhere.

Hey, what...?

- Pa! What happened? - Bounty hunter rode in here

- and shot him. - Get me into the house!

- Yeah. - You manage all right?

- Yeah, sure. - Okay, go get saddled.

- Careful! - I'm being as careful as I can, Pa.

Doggone it, I wish I could have gone with Joe and Tracy.

Yeah? What would I have done without your tender care?

What are we stopping for?

We're not gonna be able to catch up to him before dark.

Light or dark, what's the difference?

You can't follow tracks in the dark.

Well, if you can't follow tracks in the dark,

why don't we camp here and start in the morning, huh?

Don't you wanna get this guy?

That's a stupid thing to say, isn't it? He shot my father.

He's not gonna get away. We'll go back to the ranch,

get an early start in the morning. I wanna see how my pa's getting along.

- Look now, why don't you go back alone. - No.

Why? You afraid I might take off?

You think that bounty hunter might be telling the truth about me, huh?

I think a lot of other people might see it that way.

Look, I'm no outlaw.

If I thought you were, would I ride out here alone with you?

I sure as heck wouldn't turn my back on you.

Wait.

Let's see how your pa's getting along.

Thanks.

It's Joe and Tracy. Alone.

I'm glad they're back.

- You all right, Pa? How you feel? - Oh, fine, fine.

- The bounty hunter got away, huh? - Not for long.

I ain't gonna let him get away.

Nobody's gonna be allowed to get away with that.

Shoot you, call me a wanted man, hit me in the face! He's gonna pay for that.

- You'll see. - We'll be on his trail in the morning,

- we'll stay on it. - I'm goin' with you this time.

- No. - Pa!

I'm not saying no to you, Hoss.

I'm saying no to anybody who'd go after that man without the proper authority.

Tracy...

Now, there's something I want to clear up in my mind.

- Now, you say you're not a wanted man. - No, sir, I swear I'm not.

Well, see, that bounty hunter...

he had a good, long look at you.

He recognized you, or seemed to. He knew you.

- How do you account for that? - Well, I don't know.

I don't know how I account for it, sir. I only know I'm not wanted.

I'm not wanted in Tucson, I'm not wanted anywhere.

And I don't know what I can do to make you believe that.

Hm.

Hoss, you ride into Virginia City.

Tell Sheriff Coffee what happened out here.

Have him send a telegraph to Tucson,

you know, we can clear everything up, put your mind at ease.

I hope you do that.

And, Tracy, nobody's going after that bounty hunter,

unless he does it legally with a properly authorized posse.

Well, here's one deputy they're not gonna have to coax.

- Make that two. - Three.

- Well, look who's here. - Who was you expecting?

Well, I wasn't expecting nobody, but I'm glad you come.

What's on your mind, what brought you to town?

- Well, Roy, Pa got shot in the leg. - He hurt bad?

No, nothing serious. He's gonna be all right.

Well, I'm glad to hear that. Tell me about it.

Yeah, well, I will. That... That coffee sure does smell good.

Yeah. Well, help yourself. You know where it is.

Well, anyhow, it all started over in Smithville.

This drunk was gonna shoot little Joe

and then this fella named Tracy decided he'll deal himself a hand.

Ah, cut it out!

Well, what's the matter now?

You wouldn't bet $5,000 if we were playing with real money, would you?

How do I know? I've never had $5,000 in my life.

Well, let's just make believe we're playing with real money.

If I bet a dollar, the best you do is you'd see me and raise me a dollar.

- Right? - All right, $1,000. How's that?

- That better? - That's great.

You know, I just been thinking.

I've heard it said that there's somebody

who looks exactly like somebody else somewhere in the world.

- An exact double, you know? - What is that supposed to mean?

I was just thinking, I was trying to figure out

why that bounty hunter was so positive that you were the man he wanted.

Like you said, there must be somebody that looks exactly like me somewhere.

Well, I'll tell you, my friend, if he bets exactly like you do,

I can see why he's wanted by the law.

I have four queens.

All right, it's your deal, money bags.

Hey, and make it honest.

I try.

- How about another cup of coffee? - No, thank you, Roy, two's plenty.

Well, I'll get that telegraph off tonight to Tucson,

and I'll go after that bounty hunter tomorrow.

Good. Roy, how about putting me up for the night?

Well, surest thing you know.

That cell one in there has got the best mattress of the bunch.

Well, yeah, but there's a man in there. But that cell two ain't bad.

The mattress is a little lumpy, but you'll squish them out.

Careful.

I'm doing the best I can, Pa.

Well, just try a little harder, that's all.

Yes, sir. I still think it would have been a lot better

if you had just stayed in bed.

I'm not the kind of man that can stay in bed.

You ought to know that.

I think I know that better than anybody. Here, let me put your leg up here.

- Easy. - Yep.

I'll get you a pillow, make it a little softer.

Joseph.

You're absolutely certain that you never saw that fella who shot me before?

Pa, I... I already told you, I never seen him before in my life.

I know dang well I never saw him before.

Yeah. How about some nice hot coffee, huh?

Why did he shoot me?

Well, he shot you because he wanted to take Tracy

- and you wouldn't let him. - I wasn't wearing a gun.

And yet he shoots me. Shoots me in the leg.

- Why in the leg? - Pa, I don't know why in the leg.

I'm glad he didn't shoot you in the heart.

He probably just didn't want to kill you, that's all.

And then he runs away.

Without taking Tracy with him.

Well, look, he saw Tracy and I go for the guns and he panicked.

He didn't impress me as being the kind of fella

who'd panic in any situation.

Pa, look, why don't you... Why don't you relax, read a good book?

Hm?

Hey. Must be Hoss.

It's about time. Where you been all night?

Well, we had to wait for an answer to that telegraph to Tucson.

Yeah, what'd it say?

Looks like this man, Tracy, is not wanted.

I'll tell him the news.

Ben.

Hello, Roy.

- Forgive me for not getting up. - I'm glad to see you sitting up.

Hey, Tracy, you up there?

Yeah.

- What's up? - Hoss and the sheriff just rode in.

They got that telegraph from Tucson. Says you're not wanted.

- Does that surprise you? - No, didn't surprise me.

Come on. Let's get that lying bounty hunter.

Don't worry, the posse's not gonna leave without us.

I was counting on Hoss here and Little Joe for my posse.

Well, you're gonna have to do with just one of them.

I want the other one to stay here with me.

Ben, from Hoss's description, I know that bounty hunter.

A man named Fargo Taylor. Oh, he's a mean one.

And I'm just gonna need every good posse man that I can get.

Well, I'm gonna need someone here with me.

- Pa, I'd sure like to go with him. - I'd prefer you to stay.

- Are you Tracy? - Yes, sir.

Did you ever hear of a man named Fargo Taylor?

Not that I remember, no. Why?

He fits the description of the bounty hunter.

Well, I don't know him,

but I'd sure like to have the pleasure of meeting him again.

You got any idea why he picked you?

Well, now that's just one of the questions he's gonna answer

when I get to him.

When I get finished with him, he'll answer anything you want to know.

And just how are you gonna get your hands on him?

You got a posse, don't you? You gonna go after him, right?

I am. But you're not.

- Listen, I got a right. - Not in my posse.

I pick men I know.

And even when I know 'em, I don't take a hot-head that's got an ax to grind.

Now, this Fargo, he's wanted for arrest, not for vulture bait.

- Well, then I'll get him myself. - Come on now, Tracy.

- That's no good. - Try and stop me.

Look, simmer down!

I know how you feel, I know you want to go.

But we can get him without you and that's all that counts.

Not to me, it don't.

Ben, I believe I got the answer.

You keep this hot-head and Hoss goes with me.

That's not a bad idea.

You got me out of some trouble. This'll keep you from getting into some.

How about it?

I guess I'll stay, if you want me to, Mr. Cartwright.

I sure owe you that for getting you shot.

That arrangement suit you, Ben?

Yeah. Should be fine.

All right, boys. Let's go see if we can get us that bounty hunter.

- Pa, you take it easy. - Yeah.

I'd sure like to be going with them.

What'd you say?

Oh, I said I'd sure like to be going with them.

This is where we turned back, Roy.

Them tracks sure as clear as a logging road.

Yeah, maybe too clear.

Why would a smart operator like Fargo leave a trail anybody could follow?

Well, you and Tracy were both after him.

Maybe he was in too big of a hurry to stop and clear it.

It could be. He's a man hunter.

He knows about trailing, hiding his tracks.

I don't think we're gonna find the answer to that here. Let's go.

I don't care if you are my brother,

you can get yourself killed sneaking up on me like that.

I didn't sneak. You just don't hear good.

You got the nitro?

I got enough in here to blow three safes.

We may not need it. Who's left in the house?

Old man Cartwright's in there with that hole in his leg, and Tracy.

- The others? - The hands rode out early this morning.

Oh, the sheriff came by and took everybody else out chasing you,

just like you figured they would.

Did you check the buildings to make sure nobody hung back?

Yeah, there's nobody here. Ain't nobody gonna bother us

- unless that posse turns around. - Check the buildings. I'll cover you.

- There's nobody... - Make sure, like I made sure

that posse has its hands full.

Go on.

Anything bothering you, Mr. Cartwright?

No.

Anything I can get you?

Nothing I can think of.

Joe, in case you were afraid he was gonna make it too easy

for us to follow him, take a look around.

It'll take a lot of doing finding any tracks in this high ground.

I just don't understand why he took the long way around to get here.

Well, if he's gonna try to cross Devil's Furnace,

he'd have to stop and get water, wouldn't he?

Yeah. More than likely at Qualey's.

That still doesn't make sense.

He could have gotten into hard rock country five miles back, but he didn't.

Well, maybe he just didn't want to go that way.

Boys, we're gonna split up and spread out.

Now, Hoss, you head for Qualey's. Little Joe, for the dry river bed.

Timmy, you go up that wash as far as you can.

And David, ride due north. And I'll follow along the ridge here.

And the first man that sees a sign, fire two shots. Is that clear?

- Right. - Now, let's go.

Come on.

You sure something's not bothering you, Mr. Cartwright?

No.

You sure?

Well, I was...

just trying to figure out what...

two and two add up to.

Well, you shoulda asked me. The answer's four.

I... I was trying to figure...

why would an experienced bounty hunter

mistake you for a man wanted in Tucson?

Like you said, he mistook me for somebody else.

I know I said that.

But that time I didn't have...

some pertinent information.

Like nobody answering to your description is wanted in Tucson.

Now, a man can be mistaken for somebody,

he can't be mistaken for nobody.

Well, what are you driving at, Mr. Cartwright?

You know, there is something you can do for me.

Get me a cup of coffee. There's some hot in the kitchen.

Oh, well, I... I don't think I should leave you here alone.

'Cause if you move, your leg might start to bleed again.

Oh, I... I wasn't intending to move.

Oh, there's one other thing I'd like you to do for me if you would.

Clean this gun for me, please.

It needs cleaning bad.

Sure, Mr. Cartwright. One clean gun, one cup of coffee coming up. Yes, sir.

One cup of coffee and one clean gun coming up for Mr. Cartwright.

Something in there you want?

Put it down and get over there in that chair and sit down.

Go on, move!

Sit down!

I'll just take care of this.

- Who are you? - Oh, you know about me.

Well, I get drunk, and then I get mean.

Oh, I get mean.

I came about that close to killing your son.

Lucky for him, old Tracy stopped me.

Just as you planned.

Well, see, that's just the first part of it.

Mr. Cartwright.

There's $10,000 in that safe, Mr. Cartwright. We're gonna take it.

Are you?

So if you'll just tell us the combination,

everything will be okay.

Disappointed in you, Tracy.

I sure thought you knew me better than that.

Well, you're a rich man.

Would you let yourself get killed for that kind of money?

Rich man or poor man, that's not the point.

Principle and two bits'll buy you a glass of whiskey at the nearest saloon.

- Did you get the combination? - Not yet.

Stay stubborn and you get killed.

What's to prevent you from killing me if you get the combination?

Nothing.

But you got a chance I won't.

Maybe you got some idea help will come.

No chance. It's been worked out too careful.

That one bullet I put in your leg took care of all the Cartwrights

and the sheriff. You here where we need you,

them out chasing a trail that goes far and ends nowhere.

When you leave here, there'll be another trail.

No matter what happens to me,

it'll be followed and you'll be at the end of it.

Mr. Cartwright, Fargo will kill you if you don't tell him.

I know him, and he'll kill you.

If I have to kill you, it'll cost me no sleep.

It'll be better for me if I let you live.

That way when they come after me, and they will come,

there'll be less hate eating at their insides, driving them.

When the trail gets hard, it'll be easier for them to turn back.

Fargo Taylor, bounty hunter,

killer, philosopher.

If I live, I'll come after you.

I'm giving you a choice.

You hand me that money, or you'll never live to spend it.

Think on that, Mr. Cartwright. Think on it.

But think fast.

- Hey! - Roy!

- Any signs? - Not a thing. You?

Not a thing. I finally run across some soft ground, but no tracks.

- He didn't head for the Qualey's. - Nor this way.

Haven't heard any gunshots,

so apparently the others haven't run across his trail either.

Right now, don't look like we are.

Well, we always take that chance. I've been outsmarted before.

And no doubt it'll happen again.

Why don't we go back to the place where the trail ended there.

Maybe we missed a sign, or maybe he even backtracked a ways.

What about Joe and the rest of the posse?

Well, if they find anything, we'll hear their shots.

If they don't, they only got one way to go and that's back.

Right, let's go.

Hey, Tracy, you got an itch that keeps you moving like that?

Mr. Cartwright...

Fargo... he's telling the truth when he says he ain't bluffing.

Fargo, I'm gonna stay alive...

whether I give you the combination or not,

if it's to your advantage.

And if it isn't, you're gonna shoot me

no matter what I tell you, so you get nothing from me.

All right, blow the safe.

Hey. Instead of shooting him, why don't we just tie him up next to the safe?

That way he'll have the same amount of time to change his mind

about talking as it takes for that fuse to burn up.

Get in the other room out of the way.

You're proud of what you've done?

Fargo, there ain't no money in here!

It's got to be here someplace. Where is it?

You're gonna wish you were dead, Cartwright.

And you'll get your wish, slow.

You'll talk or you'll scream.

If I have to, I'll carve that money out of your hide a dollar a time.

Where is it?!

It's... It's in my bedroom.

I'll show you where it is.

You stay. He'll get it. Just tell him where.

It's in my... my bureau.

The secret compartment.

- I better show him where... - If it's there, he'll find it.

He's got a nose for money.

There ain't no compartment in here!

Fargo!

- You hear me, Fargo? - Yeah, I hear you. Keep looking!

Still playing games, huh, Cartwright?

- Where's that money? - Mr. Cartwright.

You tell him where the money is. It ain't worth dying for.

If he had the money now, I'd be dead now.

I've had enough talk.

Wait a minute! Look!

I'll make a deal with you. If he tells you where the money is,

I'll give you my share of it, okay?

Only promise me you won't kill him.

- I don't kill him, I get your share? - That's right.

- You've got yourself a deal, boy. - Good.

Hear that, Mr. Cartwright? You just tell him where the money is.

Oh, please. I've done all I can.

All right, Tracy.

You get the money.

It's in that... in that wooden box on the table.

Go get it.

- What about it? - It's all here.

- Let me see. - Let's get out of here!

Wait a minute. We're not finished yet.

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, don't you, Cartwright?

Wait a minute, Fargo. You promised.

You gotta learn, boy. Never trust a thief.

Give it to me.

Give it to me!

Like you said, never trust a thief.

Ah!

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Cartwright.

I... I never had no family.

No... No blood tie.

I was really getting to like y'all.

Hey, Pa. How's the leg feel today?

Oh, much better. Ought to be good as new in a week.

Hey, I stopped by Sheriff Coffee's office.

Told me that Fargo's gonna be all right. He'll live to stand trial.

Good. That'll be one trial I'll be very happy to testify at.

Hm. It's too bad about Tracy.

That boy had a lot of good in him.

He just needed someone to help him find himself.

Shame it happened too late.

Yeah.

Hey, you know what I was wondering?

I never did ask you, where did you hide the money?

Well...

I didn't.

What do you mean, you didn't?

Well, Hop Sing was going into Carson City,

so I had him take it along and put it in the bank.

Look, I don't get it. If you knew the money wasn't here,

why didn't you just tell Fargo that?

Well, if I told him, he probably wouldn't have believed me.

And if he did believe me, he probably would have killed me anyway.

I felt the only chance I had was to make him believe the money was somewhere

in the house, and stall for time.

Well, I must say, you stalled pretty good.

- You couldn't have come much closer. - No, it couldn't have.

I wanna thank you very much for not following Roy's orders

to stay with the posse.

Well, it's like you've always said, Pa, I'm not very good at following orders.

Yes, I believe I've said that a number of times.

- How about some coffee, huh? - Yes. Oh, Joe.

- Joe, I'd like you to do me a favor. - Yes, sir.

Forget what I ever said about following orders.

I think I like you just the way you are.

I'll get the coffee.
