Sit around here twiddling our thumbs, 383 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:09,960 listening to that ice drip? 384 00:26:11,779 --> 00:26:13,799 I'm gonna give you exactly ten minutes. 385 00:26:14,339 --> 00:26:17,000 And if Ben isn't here by then, we just have to carry on with Mr. Travis. 386 00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:18,680 I'm not gonna run out on Ben! 387 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,440 You don't have any choice. 388 00:26:21,109 --> 00:26:24,710 When we chartered the Enterprise, you bound yourself legally to carry out my orders. 389 00:26:26,849 --> 00:26:27,309 Oh, no. 390 00:26:31,779 --> 00:26:32,759 Boy, that's Melissa. 391 00:26:39,670 --> 00:26:40,130 Melissa! 392 00:26:40,750 --> 00:26:41,849 Ben's been sandbagged. 393 00:26:42,809 --> 00:26:44,009 Sandbagged?

If we get your father's fruit to Cincinnati on time, 397 00:26:53,380 --> 00:26:55,079 they'll be wiped out. How many men are holding Ben? 398 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,789 Only one at the door. But there are plenty more downstairs 399 00:26:57,789 --> 00:26:59,680 in the saloon where they can keep an eye on him. 400 00:26:59,700 --> 00:27:01,759 Is there any way I can sneak into the Lucky Catfish? 401 00:27:02,420 --> 00:27:03,960 Well, my room faces on an alley. 402 00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:07,180 Maybe I could lift on a rope or something for you from my window. 403 00:27:08,609 --> 00:27:09,480 Come on, let's go. 404 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,930 Wait, you can't go all alone. 405 00:27:12,049 --> 00:27:15,869 Oh, sorry, Miss Jenkins, you'd just be excess baggage.
