Good afternoon, Miss Hulett.

May I present my Cousin Beau?

- Miss Phyllis Hulett. - Pleasure, Miss Hulett.

So, you're really leaving us?

Halt! Stand in your tracks.

Did you or did you not offer him payment of a gambling debt

this here receipt?

Yeah.

Then you're charged with malicious mischief.

Conspiracy with intent to commit fraud.

Ah, what does it all mean, sheriff?

Well, maybe this will make it a little clearer.

"Maverick."

Starring Jack Kelly and Roger Moore.

Produced by Warner Brothers.

A Warner Brothers television production.

- Now this is more like it. - Yeah.

How far do you suppose we are from town?

I don't care if it was ten feet.

I still couldn't make it.

I know what you mean.

Pleasant dreams, Cousin Bart.

Ditto.

Yah!

- Did you see-- - What I saw?

Can't you see some people are trying to sleep?

Bandits, out to rob me.

Oh, dear. Oh, my goodness.

Please, help me.

Cousin Bart?

I suppose so. If we're gonna get any sleep.

That fellow must have a regular arsenal over there.

Why don't we get outta here, Beldon?

There's plenty of more silver where that come from.

Come on.

They're going.

Uh, could be a trap.

Well, it's not to far back to town.

If we stay off the road, they won't be able to charge us.

What do you mean, "we?"

You wouldn't run out on me now?

Oh, we've been riding since sunup, we're tired.

But it's only a few miles.

Wait.

There should be beds in town.

Uh, shall we force ourselves?

Alright.

You won't regret this, gentlemen.

I'm a prominent citizen of Stop Gap, if I do say so.

Wembly's the name. Jasper Wembly.

Maverick Bart.

- Maverick Beau. - Oh, a pleasure.

- Heh! Brothers? - Cousins.

Well, as I said, you won't regret.

Well, thank heaven the telegraph office is still open

so, I'll leave you gentlemen here.

If there's anything I can do for you, just say the word.

Oh, you'll, uh, find a hotel in the next block.

- Thanks. - My thanks to you, gentlemen.

Well, Wembly, you're back so soon.

- You win, Hulett. - Win?

Bandits. Not a chance of getting the silver through.

Well, Hulett Western States Telegraph at your service, sir.

We were about to close, but I think we could oblige you.

- Deevers. - Yes, Mr. Hulett?

You put the silver in the safe, and give Mr. Wembly a receipt.

Yes, sir.

It's all made out.

[Deevers] We expected you back, sir.

Oh and I hate to mention it, but, uh...

...there'll be a $25 charge.

It's highway robbery.

Oh, on the contrary, sir, you saw, sir

it's to prevent highway robbery.

If the Canyon City office is still open

we'll put your credit through for you tonight, sir.

If not we'll take care of it first thing in the morning.

Ryan.

Oh, don't look so glum, Mr. Wembly.

Come on down to Hendrick son's.

I'll give you a chance to win back your $25.

- Daddy. - Uh, business, my pet.

Uh, strictly business, entertaining the customers.

Well, what did they say?

Well, we flushed 'em back into the fold.

They just said, "Good work, chalk up another."

Just like candy from a baby.

Well, good evening again, gentlemen.

Why didn't you tell us the hotel was full?

Ain't a room available in the whole town, Wembly.

- I didn't know. - Oh, you didn't know, huh?

The towns been booming ever since they struck

silver up in the hills. There hasn't been a bed for months.

Well, uh... well, you can have my bed.

These games often go on all night.

- That's more like it. - Where do we go?

Mrs. Smith's Boarding House, 406 main street.

Just ask the fellows to move over, tell 'em I sent you.

What fellows?

A couple of prospectors.

They're paying five dollars a head.

I told you, I wouldn't forget what you fellows did for me.

I'm letting you in for nothing.

Thanks anyway.

Saddle up, drinks are on me.

Everybody in the house.

Thar we go.

Look at that.

How about that, huh?

Well...

One side. Yeah.

Okay, fellows, up, up.

Here.

Have one on me.

Thanks, but not now.

When I say, "Everybody drinks," everybody drinks.

Now here. You're gonna drink with me?

Yeah, yeah, I'm-I'm gonna drink with you.

- Atta boy. - Cheers.

Cheers.

Now, you.

You're too good to us.

Ah, it was nothing.

Oh, no you don't.

Don't just be sittin' here.

if you wanna stay, drink or play.

Otherwise out.

You're a skillful player, sir.

I have to be. Oh, I work for a living.

Oh fie on you. To scorn honest toil.

Well, I don't scorn it. I just try to avoid it.

My ol' pappy used to say

"Son, hard work never hurt anybody who didn't do it."

Ah, for shame. How'd you think I got where I am today?

- By having a rich father. - What? Uh...

Well, as a matter of fact you're right.

I never would've amounted to anything

without the Hulett fortune.

I almost didn't win it.

I was a family disgrace.

But that's all over with, done.

You see before you a changed man.

No more wine, women, gambling--

It's, uh, your bet, Mr. Hulett.

Uh...

...yeah well, I only allow myself one game a week.

Strictly recreation you understand.

I can't open.

I'm a respectable business man now.

President of Hulett Western States Telegraph Company.

You've told me, I'm impressed.

- Cards? - Pair to three.

Too rich for my blood.

Well, it looks like, it's up to me

to keep him honest.

Uh, it's impossible. I'm out.

Me too.

Well, I, uh, have no secrets, gentlemen.

Why of all the bluffing, I ever...

My flush would've beat your small straight cold.

And my full house.

Even my straight to the king.

Small straight?

I thought, I had a straight flush.

Look at him.

Perfectly straight face.

Such conviction.

I-I would've sworn you really made it.

So could I.

Cousin, what say we call it a night?

That's an idea with merit.

Now, just a minute fellows.

Between the two of you, you were about...

...6000 a head, right?

More or less.

You figure to cash that much in

and hall it up in the hills?

No reflection on your hospitality, sheriff

but uh by nightfall we hope to be

as far as possible from Stop Gap.

There's no hideout for me.

You know what happened to Wembly?

Oh, I don't think those bandits are still around.

They're never gone.

Not as long as Stop Gap is boomin'.

No wonder this town is booming, nobody can take anything out.

Oh, that's where you're wrong, sir.

Hulett Western States Telegraph Company is at your service.

- What good will that do? - Oh, simple.

You put your money in our local office

and then for a nominal fee

we wire credit in an equal amount

to a bank of your own choosing at your destination.

You mean, we can wire our money ahead to Denver?

[Hulett] Oh, precisely.

And how do you get the money out?

Well, when we move our assets into sum large enough

to warrant the army sending an escort.

In the mean time as a large recognized corporation...

...the banks throughout the west honor our credit.

What do you think, sheriff?

You haven't got much choice.

So, it would seem.

Alright, you wait here, Cousin Beau

and Mr. Hulett will take me to his office

I'll wire our money ahead and meet you back here later.

Yeah, well, I'll just keep a couple of hundred out

for expenses.

Hulett, you've got yourself a customer.

Now, back to "Maverick."

Here you are, sir, receipt in full.

Six thousand three hundred and forty dollars.

Thank you.

And welcome to our family

of satisfied customers, Mr. Maverick.

Daddy, I've been looking everywhere for you.

Oh, I had an important conference, I couldn't get away.

Uh, I'm glad you found me though

we can breakfast together.

And perhaps, Mr. Maverick, will join us.

Uh, Bart Maverick, my daughter Phyllis.

Miss Hulett.

How do you do?

Perhaps we can persuade you to delay

your departure until after breakfast?

Oh, consider me persuaded.

Now, this wouldn't be a bad little town

if it weren't so crowded.

You think it's crowded now?

You should see there's someone

should find the Lost Diamond Back.

Lost Diamond Back?

Lost Diamond Back silver mine.

It was buried in a landslide about 20 years ago.

Nobody's been able to locate it since.

There's a quarter of a million in silver yet to be mined.

Have openers, Mr. Maverick?

- Hmm. - Openers? You have openers?

Oh, I...

Yeah.

Well, I have to get back to the office, Mr. Mav--

Mr. Maverick?

- Well now, see here. - Shh! Shh!

He's exhausted, poor dear.

You run along, daddy, I'll be alright.

Your bet, Mr. Maverick.

Mr. Maverick!

Mr. Maverick!

What kept you?

It's a long story.

So is mine.

But it boils down to this...

...I had four kings

only one of them was a jack.

Again?

You lost? All the 200 you held out?

Well, we'll just have to wire Denver

and get back some of that 6000.

Oh, no. Don't tell me.

Did you get a receipt from the telegraph office?

Yeah.

Let me see it.

How much do you owe?

Mr. Wembly.

Come over here and bring a pen.

- All of it? - So I wasn't at my best.

I still don't see why we have to leave Stop Gap?

Because you lost the toss of the coin.

The way your luck's been running today

I don't see why you had to win that one.

Oh, quit griping, you can't really

want to stay in this town.

Miss Hulett.

You can really want to stay in this town.

Good afternoon, Miss Hulett.

May I present my Cousin Beau?

- Miss Phyllis Hulett. - Pleasure, Miss Hulett.

So, you're really leaving us?

Halt!

Stand in your tracks.

Did you or did you not

offer in payment of a gambling debt

this here receipt?

Yeah.

Then you're charged with malicious mischief.

Conspiracy with intent to commit fraud.

Uh, what does it all mean, sheriff?

Well, maybe this will make it a little clearer.

Miss Hulett.

I still don't get it.

Well, well, what do we have here?

You poor boys, in here all day.

My, you must be starving.

You are an angel.

Well, even criminals have to eat.

Uh, do you happen to know just what the crime is

we've supposed to have committed?

Don't you?

Well, all we did was pay a debt.

With a worthless piece of paper.

Worthless?

The Denver Bank wired back that 20 minutes

after your credit was established there

someone with your power of attorney

came in and drew the money out.

Well, that's impossible.

Nobody in Denver has our power of attorney.

Have they?

Not from me they haven't.

We've been robbed.

We've gotta get out of here and find out what's going on.

Now, take it easy, Cousin Beau.

Miss Hulett, this chicken is delicious.

Thank you. It's grandmother's recipe.

Alright, the food is excellent

and the waitress is charming, granted.

But, I'm hanged if I gonna sit around in jail

for something I didn't do.

Lets leave things the way they are till tomorrow.

Why?

Cousin Beau have you forgotten the fact

that this cell is...

...equipped with beds?

Ah.

Sheriff said, you wanted to see me.

That's right, Mr. Wembly.

We'd like to make a deal.

I'll make a deal, glad to.

Pay me what you owe I'll drop all charges.

Fair enough. But there's just one problem.

How'd you expect us to raise what we owe you

as long as we're locked up?

- That's your problem. - Oh, no, it's yours.

If you want your money.

You got a point.

Alright then, drop the charges

we'll get out of here, go to Denver

and straighten things out.

What guarantee do I have that you'll ever return?

What have you got to lose?

I'll let one of you go.

One? Well, what about...

[Wembly] After all, it's you who owe me.

So, I'll drop charges against your cousin

he can go up to Denver and get the money.

We'll keep you here as hostage to make sure he returns.

Well, there's, uh, no telling what's going on

it may take both of us.

What's the matter, Mr. Maverick

don't you trust your own cousin?

Oh, frankly I...

Good morning, gentlemen.

Breakfast.

Phyllis...

...you're too good to us.

Just trying to be hospitable.

And will you always bring me

my meals as long as I'm in here?

- Yes. - W-what about between meals?

Could I persuade you to bring me a book and read to me?

While away the long lonely hours.

I guess it could be arranged.

Mr. Wembly, of course, I trust my cousin.

He'll be back.

It's a deal.

Your reply is coming in now, Mr. Wembly

Oh, good.

Mr. Maverick.

How come you're still in town? You promised--

Before going to Denver

I thought I'd send another wire

and try to find out what's going on up there.

Well, I don't intend to wait indefinitely.

Neither does my cousin.

Stop worrying, Wembly, you'll get your money.

Here's the message, Mr. Wembly.

Uh, excuse me, Mr. Maverick.

- Don't mind me. - It's from my wife.

I wired to find out, how things are going back home.

Good.

And it's funny...

What?

Mr. Deevers, are you sure this is what Emma said?

Well, it's what came over the wire, sir.

Why, is something wrong?

I asked her was Tommy's bad leg any better?

According to this wire it says "He's so much improved.

He dance an hour at the square dance in town."

What's wrong with that?

A mule?

[Deevers] Oh...

Oh, dear.

Could Emma maybe have found the jug I hid behind the barn?

- Uh, good day, Mr. Maverick. - Yes.

And remember, I expect my money.

And how could I forget?

A-and now, sir, may I help you?

Yes.

I'd like to send a telegram.

To my pappy.

"About to get married.

"Settling down.

"Getting a job.

"Giving up...

"...poker forever.

"Your loving son...

...Bart."

- Your reply, sir. - Oh, good.

"Delighted you have seen error of your ways.

"Congratulations.

"All my love to you and bride.

Your proud pappy."

My, isn't that a lovely sentiment?

Yes. It's a beautiful sentiment.

It's a charming sentiment.

And that's no pappy of mine.

Now, back to "Maverick."

That you, Clay?

Clay?

- Whoa! - Just a minute, mister.

- H-hi! - Don't "hi" me.

What was you doing up there?

Uh, I was trying to get through to Denver.

The Denver road ain't up there.

Yeah, well, I was looking for a shortcut.

I thought I'd follow the telegraph lines.

Yeah. Well, did you follow it?

- Uh, uh... - That's just what I thought.

Get down.

I said to get down.

Yes, sir.

- Where's the sheriff? - Oh, I don't know.

Why? Somebody steal your horse?

Company's a fake. Telegraph company a hoax.

Wires don't go to Denver. They don't go anywhere.

Just a hole in the ground.

Have you been drinking?

The guy up there, he's Denver.

He's El Paso, he's San Francisco.

- He's pappy. - What're you talking about?

The messages are a fake.

People turn over their money, their silver

to the company here and that's the end of it.

On top of which they even charge

a fee for swindling you.

You mean the telegraph line doesn't go anywhere?

It goes two miles then into a cave.

Oh, I begin to see.

I think, but how long they expect to get away with it?

Somebody's sure to find out.

Somebody has, me.

They probably got their horses saddled

they'll work it as long as they can.

And pull out fast when there's trouble.

With the town booming like this

they could clean up a nice haul in weeks.

I'll try to find the sheriff.

- Oh, Cousin Bart. - Yeah?

Who suggested you wire the money?

- Hulett. - Yeah, who else?

The sheriff, but he wouldn't have anything to...

- Would he? - Who knows?

Besides even if the sheriff is on the level

who's going to believe that the son of the wealthy

and respected Senator Hulett's a crook?

Well I've got proof. The cave and a witness.

I tied him up, so he couldn't get away.

Yeah while we're traipsing around the hills

tracking down your proof

Hulett and company pull out with our money.

There must be something we can do.

Yeah. But not with the sheriff.

Besides, what would your old pappy say

if he heard you'd gone to the law?

Remember what he used to tell us?

"All men are equal before the law

but what kind of odds are those."

It's true.

There must be something

we can do to get our money back.

Yeah...

...with interest.

Mm?

Hello, sheriff.

I thought you was going to Denver.

Well, I find that won't be necessary.

Unless you come up with Mr. Wembly's 6000

muy pronto, it will be necessary.

That's exactly what I intend to do.

Uh, lovely day.

Is it not?

Tell me something.

Are all the wires you send and receive here

strictly confidential?

Oh, yes, sir.

Of course, sir. Absolutely, sir, strictly.

Are you sure?

Our discretion is backed by the name Hulett.

I couldn't ask for a better guarantee than that.

Yeah.

But still, I've got to be sure.

I wouldn't want a word of this to get around.

You have my oath, sir.

Mum's the word. Silent is the tune.

We won't breathe a syllable.

Alright, but you remember that.

- This is the message. - Yes, sir.

My Uncle Buck...

...Mr. Buck Maverick Albuquerque in New Mexico.

"Need $15,000 cash at once.

Cousin Beau and I have located the Lost Diamond Back mine."

You promised.

"Must have money to buy equipment and hire men.

"Can be operating within a week.

"Quarter of a million minimum...

"...assured.

"Your 15,000 makes you one third partner.

"Send cash immediately if interested

care of Hulett Telegraph Company, Stop Gap, Colorado."

- Sign it Bart. - Yes, sir.

And send it collect, and not a word.

Yes, sir. Uh, no, sir.

We'll get it right out.

Now, back to "Maverick."

I'll open.

I'll stay.

- Cards? - Three.

Give me two.

I'll play this.

Mr. Maverick?

Let's not have anymore stalling

if you're not going to get my money.

I just didn't want to interrupt the game.

Uh, there you are.

You're lucky, Wembly. All this and a dancing mule.

Uh, sheriff, my cousin's waiting.

Wembly?

Seems to be all here, sheriff.

You can leave 'em in the lock.

Well, thank you, sheriff.

Uh, have a chair.

Gentlemen.

Like a charm.

They're comin' out.

They're gettin' on their horses.

Yeah and they're gonna be ridin' out of town with our $15,000.

Why'd I ever let you talk me in to it?

Now stop worrying. They won't get away from us.

And they'll lead us right to Diamond Back.

Now, get on that machine

and wire Beldon to be on the lookout for them.

As soon as they come through the pass

Clay and him can trail 'em to the mine.

- What if they lose 'em? - No, they won't.

Quarter of a million dollars.

And you worry about 15,000.

Once we've located the mine

the boys can take care of the Mavericks...

...and nobody'll ever know

they had anything to do with it.

What do you mean, "take care of them?"

Oh, hello, Mr. Hulett.

I asked you a question.

- Isn't the answer obvious? - What's going on here?

Do I understand, the Mavericks have found the Diamond Back?

We have found it, Mr. Hulett.

And now, I suppose we'll have to count you in too.

Well, yes, indeed. I-I mean, absolutely not.

Good heavens, murder?

I don't want any part of that.

Well, suit yourself.

But, uh, quarter of a million dollars.

Well, on the other hand, I hardly know the boys.

It's up to them to take care of themselves, isn't it?

- What? - Am I my brother's keeper?

- Oh dear. - What's the matter?

And the spark of humanity cannot be quenched.

I'm sorry, Deevers I can't let you go through with it.

Well, there's not much you can do about it.

- Oh, I can go to the sheriff. - Hmm.

Well before you do

there's something you should know.

Now, you and I are partners, right?

Well, yeah, well, not in murder.

In the Hulett Western States Telegraph Company.

Well...

Mr. Hulett

there is no telegraph company.

What?

That's why we needed your name as a front.

Why you scoundrel!

If, I had the slightest suspicion that...

You...

Well, I did suspect.

But-but only a little.

That's besides the point.

You're not gonna kill those boys.

Now, you try to interfere

and the whole town's going to know

that you've been running a gigantic swindle.

But I didn't know it was a swindle.

Now who's going to believe that?

Good day, Mr. Hulett, sir.

It was so good of you to drop by.

How much farther?

We're almost there.

I thought this sort of thing was all over and done with.

Oh, so did I.

Oh, dreams.

Daughter, you see before you a broken man.

- A beaten man. - Beaten?

Well, what's the matter? What's wrong?

Oh, it'd be simpler if you asked me what's right.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

- Perhaps, I can help. - No.

Nobody can help.

Oh, stop blithering, father.

What is it?

Sit down, daughter.

It's a long story and-and horrifying.

I'll tell you it's simply-simply horrifying.

Yah!

Hey, wait a minute.

You guys ain't gonna leave me here

tied up like this, are you?

I'll admit it isn't a gentlemanly thing to do

but, uh, then who's a gentleman?

Hey, wait a minute! Come back and untie me.

Beldon.

Come here and untie me!

Help!

Come over here, Beldon.

Get over here and untie these rope.

Help!

Help! Somebody help me!

Oh, hurry up, Beldon, get me untied.

[Beldon] Stop squirming, will ya?

Whoever tied this knot meant business.

Don't move.

Sure hope you weren't kidding

when you said you knew how to use that thing.

That's all I have to show for my stretch in the army.

Still can't get over you volunteering.

Who volunteered? The colonel won me in a poker game.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy, oh, boy.

Will you stop, oh, boying, and tell me what's happening?

- What's going on? - Shh!

Hurry up, Beau.

Almost finished.

- Oh, boy. - What is it?

Beldon says, "forget the Mavericks."

- Forget them? - Listen.

"The marshal from Denver is coming

through the pass with a posse."

- Oh, boy. - Yeah, that's what I say.

Oh, we gotta get out of here.

Yeah, I know, so Beldon suggests

we take all the silver and cash out of the safe

and hide within the shack behind Hendrick's Saloon.

Yeah, he'll meet us there and then we can get away after dark.

Okay.

Now, back to "Maverick."

And that's all there is to it, Phyllis

the whole sordid story.

So, you see, there's nothing left--

That's not going to do any good.

Oh, what is?

Well, for one thing, we can warn the poor boys.

Deevers said not to interfere.

Then don't, but I'm going to.

Phyllis, wait, what are you go...

Phyllis!

We can hold 'em off but what happens to your plan?

Uh, beats me.

Can you uh, hold the fort alone?

I think so. What're you gonna do?

I'm gonna send another message.

- Holler if you need me. - Alright.

- Well... - Coast is clear.

- What are you waiting for? - It's Beldon again.

He says, "Put the money back in the safe."

What?

The marshals camped out in the hills for the night.

So, Beldon's gonna slip in the town

pick up a wagon and meet us here at the office.

We'll load up and pull out before mornin'.

Alright.

I guess he knows what he's doing.

Well?

They're holding their fire.

You know, if they're smart

one of 'em will go to town for reinforcements.

And that'll spoil everything.

Yeah.

Oh, we've gotta figure some way to get outta here.

Look, I've got an idea.

I can keep them bottled up from here.

One of you two go back the town and get some dynamite.

Hey, wait a minute, take a look.

Now, what's she doing out here?

Don't ask me, Beldon.

I won't, I'll ask her.

- Miss Hulett. - Where are the Mavericks?

- Are they friends of yours? - In a way.

- What have you done to them? - Why, nothing.

Come on, I'll take you to them.

It's awful quiet out there.

You think they both left?

Nope.

Come on.

Alright, you wanted the fellas. Now, call 'em.

I said, call them.

Bart!

Beau!

- Phyllis? - Yeah.

Alright, you in there...

...you wanna see this girl alive

you'd better throw out your guns

and come out with your hands up.

Oh, fine.

She and her father could be part of the set up.

She could be letting him use her.

Yeah, but what if she's not?

Hurry up, fellas!

Make up your minds.

Uh, Phyllis?

What're you doing here?

I came to warn you.

Do you believe her?

Don't put it on me.

Make up your mind.

Now, I'll give you half a minute.

And if you don't come out...

...the girl dies.

She could be lying.

Yeah.

Even if she's not...

...we hardly know her.

Yeah.

So, uh

what's she to us?

Not a thing.

So?

So?

What did he say now?

He says they've captured the Mavericks and Miss Hulett.

Captured them?

Who has? The marshal?

No, Beldon and Clay.

Oh, what did they do that for?

I said, "follow them."

What's Miss Hulett doing there?

I don't know.

- What about the marshal? - I'll see.

What'd he say?

Says, "What marshal?"

What marshal?

The Denver marshal, you numbskull.

- I know that. - Of course you know it.

Tell Beldon.

What'd they say?

"Denver marshal, you numbskull."

Who's a numbskull?

No, no, not you. That-that was the message.

Oh, Denver marshal?

I don't get it.

What's he got to do with it?

I don't know.

You think maybe he showed up in Stop Gap?

Well, don't ask me.

I better ask Ryan.

He wants to know is the marshal in Stop Gap.

In Stop Gap?

But he said the marshal was making ca--

Get... look, I've gotta find out what's going on.

Well, I don't know how to work that thing!

Why don't he answer?

I don't know.

He can't.

You pulled the wire loose.

What wire?

Right here.

What'll I ask him?

Ask him why he thinks the marshal would be in Stop Gap.

Well.

Well? Well!

Says, "haven't you received our messages?

"Marshal broke camp headed for town.

Proceed with original plan at once."

Oh, no.

- Sheriff? - Hmm?

Here are your keys. I used them again.

You have some new customers in your jail.

What's the idea?

You'll find out in a minute.

Hey, everybody!

Listen to me!

Now shut up and listen to me!

How many of you have money

deposited in the telegraph office?

- I do. - I do.

Well, I've news for you.

The telegraph office is closed.

The safe is open and it's empty.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.

We want you to come with us, we've something to show you.

You too, sheriff.

Just a minute, what is all this?

You'll see, we hope.

I can't see.

Beldon, is that you?

No, Deevers, it's me...

...with, uh, some of your customers.

Well, well, no-now wait a minute.

Please.

I can explain.

You go right ahead.

We...

That is, I, uh...

Well, it's just...

Oh!

Oh, boy. Oh, boy, oh, boy.

- There. - Thanks, sheriff.

Okay, next.

Here's my receipt, sheriff.

Three hundred, huh?

Fine, sign it then.

Here.

Well that seems to be all of it

and there's still some money left.

That's our money, sheriff.

Oh, good, I was hoping there was some of their own cash

- in the kitty. - Why?

Now you see, my Cousin Bart and I engaged

in a $15,000 transaction

with your customers in there.

And we would hate to think it came

from the honest folk in this town.

You see the temptation might've been too much for us.

You mean, you'd actually be tempted to keep money

that wasn't rightfully yours?

Oh, no.

We might've been tempted to give it back.

And if we did, we'd never be able to forgive ourselves.
