♪♪

Whoa.

Whoa. You want
a lift, son?

This ain't what you call
walking territory.

Well, they didn't
give me a ride,

just gave me a suit
and five little ones.

Oh, you just come out
of state prison?

You know it.

Well, that's all right
with me, son,

as long as
you ain't running.

Not anymore.

Get up.

How far are you going?

Far as you do.

Well, that'll be
Medicine Bow.

That'll be it.

I run a kind of
a second-hand store there,

anything old
that can be fixed.

I guess you'd call me
an old junkman.

Not me.

Pots, pans, old beds,
broken guns, horseshoes...

You'd better fix
the one

on your horse's
right foreleg.

I don't see anything
wrong with it.

Then you just better
get him a new one.

After all, he's...
14 years old.

Puts him in your bracket.

And what's that, son?

About 66.

[ laughs ] Well,
you're wrong.

I'm 65 and he's 13.

Now I'll tell you
how old you are.

I'll tell you.

I was 28...

1825 days ago.

Got any family?

No.

Any friends in town?

No.

Got a trade?

Not anymore.

What was it?

A thief.

Well, now,

that's all right
with me, son.

Anytime
you need work,

you come around
my store.

There's nothing like
a thief turned honest.

All his temptation's
behind him.

♪♪

Anyplace you say, son.

Drop me by the saloon.

That ain't
a very good start, is it?

Well, it's been a long time
between beers.

Better get him
that shoe.

Thanks.

I wanna get a shave.

Couldn't be.

You wanna wait around,
or, uh...

Huh? What'd
you say?

I said I wanted
to get a shave.

Why not?

Sam!

Sam Harder!

Trampas.

Sam, heh.

Boy, it's been
a long time, Sam.

Longer than that.
Sit down.

Yo, hey.
A beer.

Well, you--
you look good, Sam.

Good to be out.

I heard they
gave you five years.

To the day.[ whistles ]

Don't spoil this.

Oh...
That's better.

Now we can talk.

Well, there's no--
Oh, thank you.

No time off
for good behavior?

Nothing off.

What'd you do,
cause trouble?

Oh, not a bit.

I even went to school,
studied books.

Animal husbandry,
veterinary medicine,

cattle farming.

They even let me run
the chicken pen,

milk the cows.

I did everything right
except one thing.

What's that?I wouldn't talk.

All I had to do to walk
out of there was talk.

About the gold?

That's right.

Every Christmas
they had a present for me--

tell us where it is
and take a walk.

Why didn't you
tell them?

Bleeck. Remember him?

Oh. How could I forget?

Where did it begin...

Where would you say it began?

That cattle drive
up in the Rio.

[ laughs ]
That time I ate dirt.

[ neighing ]

Hey!

Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa.

[ spitting ]

Sam? Sam!

You all right?

What are you grinnin' at?

Well, you're practically
a trick rider or something.

[ laughing ]

Oh, I'll get the hang
of it someday.

Let me see.

Oh!

Ohh...

Oh, Sam...
You think you
can ride him?

Yeah.

[ whooping ]

Got a penny, mister?

No.

Reckon you'd better
settle for that.

Gee, thanks!

♪♪

TRAMPAS: Hey,
give me a bottle.

Well, where are
we gonna lose it--
cards or ladies?

We got a chance
with the cards.
Yeah.

That's Sam Harder.
I'll buy him a drink.

The man wants
to buy you a drink.

What for?

He likes your style.

Oh, no thanks.

Where do you know him?

I don't remember,
but there's always trouble.

Like what?

Oh, somebody robbed
or killed or both.

He shoots too often,
too fast.

I remember.

He likes to tease
a guy into a draw,

and then
it's plain murder.

He's that good, huh?

I don't know.

He gets the man
scared or angry.

Well, he ever try you?

I think he thought
of it once,

in, uh, Amarillo,
at some card game.

What happened?

Nothing, he just laughed
and bought me a beer.

I guess I didn't
look scared.

Were you?

Sure, just
didn't show it.

[ piano playing ]

Nina, take a look
at the two at this end
of the bar, here.

I did.

Might've known.

Entertain
the fair-haired kid.

Ooh, I'd love to.

They come in
with their pay,

and they don't
need anybody.

Who does he
think he is?

He knows who he is.

Harder's the fastest boy
with a gun

this side of Texas,
maybe even including it.

I thought you were.

I'm the fastest man.

My name's Nina.
I thought you'd like to meet me.

Well, my name's Trampas,
and I think you're right.

I don't know
this fella.

Why don't we go
sit down at a table

and get to know
each other?

Well. Thought you
didn't remember me.

I remember.
You're not easy to forget.

That's good.

Wish more women'd
say that.

Texas, wasn't it?

You had three aces
and I had two.

Now, how does a man
get around that?

Talk to the dealer.

We did.

Well, we'll never
know, will we?

Now I'm gonna ask you
something you can answer.

I like you.
I like your style.

You remember a Mexican
named Garcia?

They were all Garcia.

He said you were
so fast with a gun

that you were
almost a magician,

like a rabbit out
of a hat,

like flowers
out of a bandana.

Bleeck, all the way
from here to there,

there are graves
with fast men in them.

Yeah, I know
what you mean.

That isn't enough,
is it?

It just helps.

Now, what'd you
want to ask?

How well do you know
this part of the country?

Like my hand.

I also hear
you like action,

so I wonder how high
you'd play.

Like what, for instance?

Like, for instance,
your life

against $50,000 in gold.

It's a simple thing.

Simple, perfect.

No trouble, no fuss,
nobody gets hurt...

unless you get killed.

I need two men like you,

maybe that buddy
of yours over there.

Now, doesn't that beat
a dusty trail to Texas

or a two-bit poker game?

I don't know.

Think about it.

Go play some cards.

Think about it.

I'll be around.

I think the piano's
out of key.

What's going on, Sam?

I thought you told him.

I'll tell him now.
Come here, kid.

Come here.

Right there.

Exactly 2:00
tomorrow,

a train stops
and takes on water.

It takes something;
we take something too.

We ride out from
a little clump of scrub oak

right up to the baggage
and mail car,

and lighten its load
a little,

about $50,000
in gold bullion.

It's in a little safe
the man'll be glad to open.

So now from there
we cut south through country

your buddy knows
like his hand.

At a place
that he likes,

we stop for some coffee
and we divide the gold.

That's all there
is to it.

That's all it
amounts to, kid.

Sam, you in on this?

He's in on it,
and so are you.

No, I'm not.

I don't know
anything about it.

Do you know
about it now?

No, I don't,
mister.

Come on, Sam.

Hold it, kid.

Now, you listen
to me.

No, you listen
to him.

Are you running
it now?

I'm not running anything.

But you're telling me.

Only one thing.
He's got a right to pass.

Oh, no.

Nobody has any rights
he can't prove.

Can he prove it?

I can.

♪♪

[ scoffs ]
I bet you.

But not $50,000.

That's not enough
for you and me.

[ slaps holster ]

Beat it, kid.

Sam.

I'm staying.

What made you do it?

I don't know.

I thought about it a lot.

I had a lot of time
to think after...

Maybe it was something
between him and me,

like I had to show him
I had the guts.

That's not enough.

All right.

Maybe it's something
I never told you.

I had married
a girl in Texas.

Maybe I wanted
to get her a diamond,

big as a bullet.

She know what happened?

She knows.

You going back
to her, Sam?

Not yet.Why not?

Bleeck.

Oh, he had it
all figured out.

'Cept there was
some law on that train.

Little ways south of here,
we had to fight.

I hid the loot

while Bleeck and Gregg
made a stand.

And Gregg got it,
Bleeck ran,

and then they got me.

I know all about that.

What you don't know
is that the gold's still there.

Bleed could never
have found it.

He just had to wait.

He had to wait for me.

Why didn't you tell him
where it was?

Oh, I thought of that too...

but it meant
I had to double-cross him,

and that meant
that wherever I went,

whatever I did,
I'd be waiting to be
bushwhacked.

I'd always
be looking for him,

or a bullet in my back.

You could've told them
where it was,

about him,
and they would've found him.

No.

I couldn't do that.

I have to
find him myself.

You know where he is?

Don't have to.

He'll find me.

Then what?
Then what?

Then I'll have to take him
to where that gold is.

And because I did
those years without talking,

he'll up my end.

He'll be real generous,
promise me half of it

until I find it.

Thanks.

Thank you.

And then...

Then he'll try
to kill me.

It'll be
him and me.

And if you win?

Then I'll give
it back.

Whew. It's
a big risk.

Yeah.

But I spent five years
thinking about it,

and I gotta take it.

It's the only way
I can live with myself,
or live at all.

Five years is
a long time, Sam.

He might've been
caught, jailed,

or even left the country.

Nope.

He'll be here.

You see, Gregg's dead.

You're out of it.

It's just Bleeck and me.

Right or wrong,
that's how it is.

You're wrong
about one thing.

What's that?

About me.

I'm not out of it.

What for?

For old times, right?

For old times.

Hey, you know
that time back...

I should've drawn
for myself,

not waited for you.

You weren't that fast.

It was five years ago.

Hey.

I want you to meet
an old friend of mine.

Uh, we gotta
put him to work.

Well, pay
ain't much.

More'n I got.

He handle the work?

Let me tell you something.

You and me, we're
a dead-even thing, right?

You're saying it.

Ahem. Yeah.

Well, Sam here's
a shade better.

Just a shade.

That's good enough
for me.

Got yourself
a job.

Thanks.

Yee-hee!

Yee-hee!

Whoo!

Stay with us,
Sam boy!

Come on, Sam!
Ride him!

Hyah!
Do it, Sam!

Attaboy, Sam!

Yeah, well, I knew a time

when he could ride a horse
bareback and break him.

We ain't gonna
use him bareback.

Easy, boy!
Hey, easy, boy!

That's a boy, Sam!

You got him, Sam.

That's a sweet horse.

You used to be able to ride.

I'll catch on to it.

Afternoon.Howdy.

My name's George Johnson.
I'm with the government.

I'd like to talk
to Judge Garth.

The Judge is over
in Rawlins for the week.

I'm his foreman.
Can I help you?

I guess
I can talk to you.

Won't you step down
and come up to the house?

Right this way.

Water his horse, will you?

Get you a drink
or a cup of coffee
or something?

No, thanks.

Here's my identification.

Hmm.

Well.

I'll make this short.

No hurry.

Short but not sweet.

Go ahead.

You know a man
named Sam Harder?

Yeah, sure do.
I just hired him.

Know anything else
about him?

Well, he's
a first-rate cowhand.

All right.

That's your business.

Now I'll tell you mine,

or better yet,
the government's.

Five years ago,
the UP outside of Caspar

got held up
by three men.

The mail car was robbed
of $50,000 in gold bullion.

You might remember.I might.

Those three men were chased
into the hill country
just south of here.

One escaped.

One, a man named Gregg,
was shot and killed.

Sam Harder was captured.

What became of the gold?

Never found.

What about Harder?

We couldn't prove

that he actually took part
in the robbery.

The best we could do
was put him away

for resisting arrest--
five years.

Five years!

He got the maximum,
and he paid it.

He never talked.

Well, maybe the one
who got away
has got the gold.

Maybe. Maybe not.

What do you want from me?

I want you to keep
an eye on him.

I want to find out
where he goes
and who he meets.

I think someone
is looking for him,

and we want to know
about that, too.

Your man Trampas
worked with him
a long time ago.

You might look
into that.

I might.

But I doubt it.

I'm running
this ranch, mister,

and I hired that man
for what he could do,

not for where he's been
or who he's been with.

I'm just in
the ranch business,

like you're in
the detective business,

so I'll take care
of my business
and you take care of yours.

How does that suit you?

I guess I'll have
to talk with the Judge.

It's up to you.

One thing I can tell you--

And you will.

He's a dangerous man.

Thanks.

♪♪

There, boy.

Oh, easy. Easy. Easy.

You're among friends.

Birth's a little
like death, isn't it?

How's that?

Well, both times you don't
know where you going.

You want to tell me about
the time you did, Harder?

Did Trampas?

Not enough.

Well, I don't
think I can.

You want me to quit,
is that it?

No. I'm tellin' you
two things...

[ mare stomping ]

I'm telling you
that I don't care

what you did
or where you went.

You paid for it,
and that's good enough for me.

What's the other thing?

It's about Trampas.

What about him?

I know what he was...

just a wild kid,

wild as a Comanche.

Carried his life around
with him in his holster.

Little bit like the--
ooh!

Easy, boy.

Little bit like
this colt here.
Yeah.

Riding out storms
and trailing winds.

Yeah.

Not anymore.

I know that.

Do you know that, Harder?

You sure you know that?

You know, we...

We all think
we've changed.

We think we've become
something better and different.

We think we've grown up.

Then something happens,
like the prairie catches fire

or a herd bolts
and stampedes,

or a star falls,

and we find out
we're back again

to something we thought
we'd forgotten.

You know what I mean?

I know.

[ mare groans ]

Come on, sonny.

There we are.

There's your mommy.

I mean, uh,
I won't sit still

for anything like that.

I mean he's my friend.

He's a little more
than that to me.

He's the only one
I got.

Then you know
what I'm saying.

I know.

How are you fixed
for enemies?

I'm gonna have
to tell you something.

A friend is somebody
I can share with you;

an enemy, no.

An enemy has
to be my business.

Just mine.

You ever stop eating?

When I'm asleep.

Then you dream about eating.

[ chuckles ] No, women.

All kinds of women.

They're always chasing me
like a posse.

Shut up.

Took your time.

I take anything
I'm big enough to.

Tell you something,
every time

I leave a saloon
I get lost.

Got no sense of
geography,

and it's costing me
a lot of money, too.

What about him?

He came right here
from prison,

got a job on
the Garth spread

and living
at the ranch.

How'd he get the job?

Met an old buddy
of his,

a kid named,
uh, Trampas.

Trampas.

Oh.

Look like a wild,
rough kid?

Not to me.

All right,
what then?

Oh, nothing, he...

Saturdays he comes into town
and takes on a few beers.

All right, go find him
and bring him out to me.

How?

Just ask.

Like a business invitation.

You can mention my name.

That'll help.

I need help?

[ gun fires ]

[ fires, shatters ]

[ whistles ] Not bad.

Not bad, but not fast.

Well, how fast
do you want to be?

Well, it's been five years.
I just wanted to know.

Forget it, Sam.
He's long gone.

Hey, look.
I got your money here.

Oh, thanks.

I borrowed your gun.

Is that all right?

Anytime.

Well, we got paid.

Now let's go to town
and see the sights, huh?

Let's go. I wanted
to go in anyway.

You think he'll show?

No, but somebody will.
Sometime.

What do you mean somebody?

He'll let me know.

Sam, you gotta stop
thinking like this.

Let's go into town to
shake it up a little, huh?

Sure.
It's time you start
living anyway.

That's right.

Hi, there, friend.

Hello, boy!

You open?

I will be
by the time you climb down.

A little shopping.

I'd like to
buy a gun.

What are you
gonna shoot, boy?

Not sure.

Well, you better
look at this.

This is a good one.
I'll take it.

Heard you
went to work.

That's right.

Glad to hear it.

Anything for you?

Yeah, something
for a girl.

Well, what's
she like?

I don't know yet.

Eh, you're always
safe with perfume.

There you are.

That's straight
from Paris, France, $1.

Take it on mine.

Between a six-gun
and Paris perfume,

I don't see how
you can go wrong tonight.

You'll let an old man
know, won't you?

As though
you wouldn't.

What's wrong
with the bar?

We can see better
from back here.

Anyone here
you don't know?

Two guys at the end
of the bar,

the fat one
and the skinny one.

Girl's new.

Think I'll go
introduce myself.

That perfume's
burning your pocket?

Yo.If they come over,

stay out of it.

I'll be around.

I'll handle this.

I, uh, got something
to talk to you about.

[ patrons quiet down ]

Somebody ask you
to sit down?

All right.

Now you can sit down.

I'm here on business,
Bleeck's business.

That's what you
should've said before, see.

You make a mistake.

In fact, down there on the floor
you almost made another one.

Where is he?

Out on the trail.

Which way?

I'll take you.

No.

We, uh...

We could be followed.

I'll meet you
in the alley,

back at the livery.

What's the matter?

Nothing's the matter.

Here.

It's from Paris.

Paris where?

Hold on, Trampas.
Buy you a beer.

I can't right now.
I'm looking for Sam.

Did he go out?I think he's out back.

Come on!
I'm buying.

Send over another beer
right away, will ya?

BARTENDER: Coming up.

Thanks.

Trampas, I know
about Harder.

You know what about him?

Five years ago.

Well, so he got
in a little trouble.

Tell me about it.

Take a walk
for your appetite.

That's all there was.
Sam got me out of it.

...till he came into town.

That's it.
That's all.

Not quite.

That's all,
except for the gold.

Says he can find it.

What's he
waiting for?

Bleeck.

They go together?

As far as where it is.

Mm, then what?

Then Bleeck will
try and kill him.

You believe that?

I can believe it
about Bleeck.

And Harder?

You believe he doesn't want
part of that gold for himself?

No.

He just wants
to get out of it.

He's got a wife somewhere.

Can't go back to her
till he settles this thing.

Gotta feel free to go,

free from that money,

free of Bleeck.

I told him.

I said Bleeck could
be in Mexico,

in prison, or dead.

But he could be here.

Yeah.

And if so,
it's gonna be bad.

It's been bad, friend.

Bad times.

Do we need him?

I think I'm
all right.

I heard you never
talked, friend.

You behaved yourself.

Did your chores.

Never opened
your mouth.

No, you wouldn't.

You just took that job
at the ranch to wait for me.

Is that right,
friend?

[ hoofbeats departing ]

That's right.

What about the kid Trampas?

That was an accident.

I just ran into him.

I used him to get a job.
Leave him out of it.

That's good.

It's just you and me now.

Just you and me.

Which means
you never found it.

Not because I didn't try.

I crawled down
that riverbank five miles.

Got bit by a rattlesnake.

You probably poisoned it.

All right, Harder.

So now it's you and me.

What about that rat
and that pig you sent after me?

No, nothing.
They just work for me.

They going alone?

For the ride.
The fat one can cook.

Who's the other one?

[ chuckles ] Landegger.

Ooh, he thinks he's tough.

He caught a piggy-bank thief
once and shot him.

In the back?

Where else?

You think you can find it?

Find it?
[ laughs ]

For five years
I put myself to sleep

just remembering
exactly where--

the rock, that scrub oak,
the clearing.

I even made a little arrow
in the dirt there,

but it's rained
in the last five years.

And all the time
you also dreamed

that you didn't need me.

Oh, that wasn't a dream.

But now you do.

I guess we're stuck
with each other.

Ahh, there's plenty
to go around.

But I'll tell you
something, friend--

I did some dreaming myself.

I even worked
for a living.

Yeah. I was afraid to steal.

Want to know why?

'Cause I didn't want
to get unlucky

with just
a fistful of bills.

I didn't want
to walk into a jail

while you walked
out of one.

Isn't that something,

I almost get honest?

How'd it feel?

Mmm.

I don't want
to tell you.

I just want you to know
how it's been with me,

the way it is now.

When?

You call it.

I gotta go back to town.

I gotta quit that job.

What for?

Because I don't want
somebody to miss me

and start looking.

Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.

Well, after you've done it,
you ride south out of town.

Where'll you be?

Uh...

I'll find you.

♪♪

Don't you
ever go home?

I am home.

I got a cot
in the back there.

But I'm too old
to sleep.

I guess I'm still too young.

Your friend
is still with you.

Thanks, old man.

Harder.

Yeah?

Your business
is your business, right?

Go on?

I want you to remember
what we talked about.

Trampas is my friend.

What happens to him
happens to me.

You think you can
remember that?

I'm going to try.

All right.

Well, what happened?
Was it him?

Yeah.

So you're going,
is that it?

That's it.

Damn, you're
being a fool.

That's why I came back here
to tell you not to be one.

I knew if I just left
you'd do something crazy.

You just tell your friend

that I quit, I went away,
I miss my wife.

Got two men
with him, Sam.

You think you're gonna last
ten seconds after you find it?

I don't know,

but those ten seconds
belong to me.

What do you mean
ten seconds?

That can be a long time.

It's a trap, Sam,
and you know it.

I told you I knew it.
It's just the way
it has to play.

It's the rest of my life
or I don't have one.

It's the only way
I can get free.

I'm going along, Sam.

No, you're not.

You're going back
to your job and your life

and I'm going
back to mine.

Now, listen...

I need somebody to tell
how it really was,

what really happened.

If anything
bad happens,

that's what you
can do for me,

and that's all.

I'm going, Sam,
or you aren't.

You mean that?

I mean it.

I think you do.

[ grunts ]

Take care of him.

It's all right.
He's our friend.

We'll take care of him.

Rain water.

Pretty soon we'll have
the best coffee in the world,

cooking it.

Where's the rat and the pig?

On their way, friend,
on their way.

You don't like it out there
with just you and me, huh?

You're saying
I don't trust you.

All right, friend,
I don't trust you,

but don't feel
bad about it.

I wouldn't trust
any man

where that much loot
is concerned.

[ horse whinnies ]

I'm not sure
I even trust myself.

I can believe that.

[ hoofbeats ]

They're coming.

You know...

I remember how fast
you were with that gun.

That was a long time ago.

I used to
think about you

and wonder if you were
faster than I was.

Let me tell you
something.

Just speed
isn't enough.

I've seen fast men
slow up to nothing

in the face of, say,

somebody who might be
a little faster.

Death isn't a tin can
on a fence, is it?

How old are you?

Why?

You talk like an old man
full of old memories.

What we have to think
about's just one thing,
the money.

That's right, friend.

That's what
I like about you.

What's he doing here?
I said he was out of it.

You think you're
running this party?

You think I'm some slob

you're hiring to dig
holes for you?

[ cocks ]

I am now.

I'm running it.

You rigged this
for yourself?

No, not exactly,

but I would've
followed you anyway, Sam.

They just saved
me the trouble.

Look at it
this way, friend,

if you were followed,
somebody wondered about you,

they could get
to this kid,

maybe work him over,

and he might talk

because he got
worried about you,

or got hot because
we didn't count him in.

That wouldn't
be smart.

Or he might be the only guy
who knew about you,

who had a name
for the guy nobody found.

All right, now we've
thought of everything.

We've been here
a long time

and we have thought
of everything.

Almost.

That's right.

Almost.

All that's left is the gold.

Come on, now.

I brought along
a couple of friends...

I got one for you now.

You think I didn't know
you covered the bets

and counted your odds?

I give you credit...

[ sizzles ]

Have faith in me.

I give you a friend.

You're like me.

You don't trust
anybody, do you?

All right, let's
get on our way.

You can put
that away.

The rat...

That's good.

That's good.

You are a fool.

I could never help it.

You let him take you.

Yep.

I even let you.

Well, good morning, Saul.

Morning.

Sure up early
this morning.

Well, I always feel lucky
to make another one.

[ chuckles ]

I wondered if you
could give me

a little help
with something.

Uh, I had kind of
a little argument
with Trampas last night.

Trampas?

Yeah, we had a few words,

and the thing is
he didn't come back all night.

I can't find him anywhere.

I thought you might've
seen him around.

Yeah, yeah,
I saw Trampas last night.

He rode south
with two strangers,

a thin one and a fat one.

Where was Sam Harder?

Well, he
rode out earlier.

Was he alone?

Yeah, he was alone,
but somebody followed him.

Who might that be?

Well, him I don't know.
But I seen him around.

He's a short,
stocky fella.

Looked like a city man,
the way he sat his horse.

Thanks, Saul.

You're welcome.

Morning, Sheriff.

Morning.

You know a man
named Johnson,

a government man?

Yeah, I know him.

You know why
he came here?

He said he was
looking for a man.

Said he'd let me know.

Well, he found him,
or he got found.

What do you mean?

Well, he's disappeared,
and so has Trampas,

in the same direction
and for the same reason.

All right, get your horse.
We'll find them.

Good.

What happened to you?

What happened?
I don't know.

I was following him
and all of a sudden
a rope hit me,

and when I came to
I was lying
on the ground.

Joe, get down.
Give him your mount.

What are you doing here?

I'm the one
that's gonna find them.

How many would you say?

Five.

This'll lead through
the canyon to the river.

Maybe your friend
knew about it all.

Maybe.

Trampas was
an old friend of Harder's,

Harder did time
and came out,

and they just found
each other again.

And now they're
both in on this.

That's too easy.

Tell me something hard.

Harder's in
some kind of trouble.

Trampas is his friend,
like you said,

and he owes
him something,

like his life.

It's the kind of debt
that doesn't have

anything to do
with the law

or good sense
or even money.

We gotta let them
prove something
if we can.

Prove what?

Whatever it is
Harder's trying to prove.

You believe that--
Harder is trying
to prove something?

Well, I believe
Trampas is,

or I wouldn't
be here, mister.

You know, Harder...

he's not only a cook,
he's a garbage can.

How was that,
Landegger?

Was that funny?

If you say so.

And here we are,
a few miles from riches,

and you all look
like you're going up
the rope at dawn.
