NOBODY'S BOUGHT NOTHIN' YET.
TELL YOU WHAT.
YOU GIVE THESE BOYS A $2.00 BOTTLE ON ME,
AND THEN I'LL STAND MY OWN LOSSES.
AND THEN YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PROFIT ON THE WHISKEY.
THAT'S GOOD.
ONE $2.00 BOTTLE, PATRICK.
BRING IT ON, CHIEF.
WHY DON'T YOU USE THAT?
WELL, THERE'S 52 THERE.
GONNA WASTE GOOD LIQUOR, ARE YOU?
MIGHT AS WELL WAVE GOOD-BYE TO YOUR FLASK.
WELL, YOU SEE...
YOU BOYS DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT ME,
AND I DON'T KNOW NOTHIN' ABOUT YOU.
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY WE MAKE THIS A NICKEL GAME

SHUT UP, JIM.
I THANK YOU VERY KINDLY, SIR.

SMALLEY, YOU WANT TO SIT IN ON A HAND?
YOU KNOW I DON'T GAMBLE WITH NO PROFESSIONALS.
I'LL TAKE YOUR PLACE.

HEY, WHAT'S THIS SHIT?
WHAT'S IT MATTER IF SMALLEY'S IN?
AND DRIED PEAS.
CHURCH COMIN' ALONG NICELY, ISN'T IT?
I WAS TALKIN' TO MRS. ANDERSON.
CAN'T WAIT TILL WE GET IT FINISHED.
HEY, WHO'S THE DEALER?
FELLOW BY THE NAME OF McCABE.
WHAT?
McCABE.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
WHO SAID HIS NAME WAS McCABE?
JOE SHORTREED TOLD ME.
WELL, HOW DOES HE KNOW?
I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS McCABE TOLD HIM.
NOW I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM
MOVE SO FAST BEFORE IN MY LIFE.
HOW'S IT GOIN'?
I'M BEATIN' HIS ASS.
DRINK ON THE HOUSE, MR. McCABE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'LL SEE YOU.
YOU DIDN'T SAY YOUR NAME WAS McCABE
WHEN YOU COME IN HERE.
I DIDN'T SAY IT NOW. YOU DID.
I'LL RAISE YOU UP 2.
I'LL CALL.
PUDGY McCABE?
GUNFIGHTER?
BUSINESSMAN.
BUSINESS AIN'T SO GOOD, IS IT?
DID YOU EVER KNOW BILL ROUNDTREE?
WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, SHEEHAN?
YOU GOT A TURD IN YOUR POCKET OR SOMETHIN'?
WE'RE TRYIN' TO PLAY SOME POKER HERE.
I GOT A KING HERE.
BART, YOU'RE GETTIN' SLICK AS A CAT'S ASS.
HEY, PARTNER.
YOU WANT TO DEAL A COUPLE HANDS FOR ME?
SURE. YOU'RE NOT LEAVIN', ARE YOU?
YOU'RE NOT QUITTIN'?
OH, NO. BE RIGHT BACK, GENTLEMEN. RIGHT BACK.
MY GOOD MAN.
TRY NOT TO DROP THE CARDS, EH, RONNY?
WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?
NOWHERE. UH... I WAS JUST WONDERIN'
WHERE YOU WAS GONNA GO.
WELL, I WAS GONNA GO OVER THERE BY THAT FENCE.
OH.
YES, SIR. THAT'S McCABE, ALL RIGHT. JOHN McCABE.
USED TO BE CALLED "PUDGY" McCABE.
GOT A BIG REP.
I NEVER HEARD OF HIM.
WELL, HE'S GOT A BIG REP.
WHY THEY CALL HIM PUDGY? HE DON'T LOOK SO FAT.
HOW IN THE HELL WOULD I KNOW?
ANYWAY, HE'S THE MAN
THAT SHOT BILL ROUNDTREE.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF HIM, EITHER.
I'VE KNOW OF ROUNDTREE.
I CAN'T REMEMBER FROM WHERE,
BUT I KNOW THE NAME.
WELL, HE WASN'T NOBODY TO MESS WITH.
THAT MAN OUT THERE TAKING A PEE SHOT HIM.
HE'S GOT A BIG REP.
GENTLEMEN, YOUR DEALER IS NONE OTHER
THAN JOHN McCABE.
PUDGY McCABE?
THE MAN THAT SHOT BILL ROUNDTREE.
HE REALLY IS A GUNFIGHTER.
I DON'T CARE WHAT THE HELL HE IS.
HE SHOT BILL ROUNDTREE?
McCABE REALLY SHOT HIM?
I KNEW BILL ROUNDTREE.
WHO IS HE?
HE WAS A GOVERNOR.
HE WAS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR
IN WYOMING.
JEREMY, YOU ARE SO FULL OF SHIT.
DAMN. OUT THERE KIND OF MAKES YOU FEEL
LIKE A 3-SQUIRT DOG IN A 30-MILE WIND.
THAT EGG'S RAW, AIN'T IT?
YEAH.
OK.
TELL ME SOMETHING, BOYS.
WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY AROUND HERE?
SHEEHAN OWNS ALL THE PROPERTY THIS SIDE OF TOWN.
THE CHINESE DON'T OWN NO PROPERTY.
THEY JUST POACH IN MINES.
AND JOE SHORTREED, J.J., BILL CUBBS, MYSELF,
OWN THAT WHOLE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHURCH.
McCABE, HOW LONG YOU FIGURE ON STAYIN'?
WELL, THESE BOYS GOT MY TIT IN A WRINGER HERE.
I HATE TO MOVE ON WHEN I'M LOSIN'.
YOU CAN FLOP HERE FOR 2 BITS A NIGHT.
COME ON, I'LL SHOW YOU.
SORRY. UH...
OH.

CUT MY BEARD OFF
AND JUST, UH, LEFT MY MUSTACHE?
WHY YOU WANT TO DO THAT FOR?
YOU GOT MANY CHINKS AROUND HERE?

I SELL WHISKEY.
I DON'T TOLERATE OPIUM SMOKERS AROUND HERE.
WELL?

WHY DON'T YOU DO LIKE I DO, YOU KNOW,
JUST TRIM A LITTLE BIT OFF THE SIDES THERE.

GET UP, COYLE.
THE DEALER'S BACK.
HEY, BART.

LET'S MAKE IT A QUARTER GAME.
SHEEHAN, BRING THESE BOYS A BOTTLE ON ME.

SO WE DECIDED TO PUT THE KING POST...
YOU GONNA TALK TO THEM?
THEY'RE VERY DIFFICULT TO INSTALL
ON ACCOUNT OF THE RAIN WE'VE BEEN HAVIN' HERE. UH...
WE HAD TO USE THE CANVAS FOR THE TENTS
UP ON THE ROOF, BECAUSE OF THE RAIN.
I'M GOIN' TO TALK TO HER.
THAT'S A REAL PRETTY DRESS--

LET GO, NOW.
LET HER GO! YOU--
WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON?
HEY, HEY, COME ON.

SHEEHAN, THAT'S A LOT OF SHIT,

NOW, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT THE HELL IT IS YOU COME UP HERE FOR,
AND MOVE AWAY FROM THAT STOVE.
YOU GET KIND OF RIPE WHEN IT'S WARM.

I'M NO DUMMY.
YOU'RE NO DUMMY.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THIS TOWN
WHEN IT GETS BIG ENOUGH TO HAVE 3 SALOONS,
MAYBE EVEN 4, HMM?
YOU AND ME COULD FORM A PARTNERSHIP,
A PARTNERSHIP THAT'LL KEEP ANY OUTSIDER
FROM COMIN' IN HERE AND BUILDIN' OTHER SALOONS
WITHOUT YOU AND ME SAYIN' IT'S ALL RIGHT
AND TAKIN' OUR CUT. HUH? WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
WELL, PARTNERS IS WHAT I COME UP HERE

HEY.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE OUT
YOU'RE SUCH A FANCY DUDE,
YOU OUGHT TO WEAR SOMETHING
BESIDES THAT CHEAP JOCKEY CLUB COLOGNE.
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK I AM.
ANOTHER ROUND?
[FIDDLER PLAYS BEAUTIFUL DREAMER]
JUST LISTEN, MR. McCABE,
I'M A WHORE,
AND I KNOW AN AWFUL LOT ABOUT WHOREHOUSES.
AND I KNOW THAT IF YOU HAD A HOUSE UP HERE,
YOU'D STAND TO MAKE YOURSELF A LOT OF MONEY.
NOW, THIS IS ALL YOU GOT TO DO--PUT UP THE MONEY
FOR THE HOUSE. I'LL DO ALL THE REST--
I'LL LOOK AFTER THE GIRLS, THE BUSINESS, THE EXPENSES,
THE RUNNING, THE FURNISHING, EVERYTHING.
AND I'LL PAY YOU BACK ANY MONEY YOU PUT IN THE HOUSE,
SO'S YOU WON'T LOSE NOTHIN'.
AND WE'LL MAKE IT 50-50.
UH, EXCUSE ME.
YOU KNOW, I ALREADY GOT A WHOREHOUSE
OPERATIN' UP HERE.
YOU CAN'T CALL THEM CRIB COWS WHORES.
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT A PROPER SPORTIN' HOUSE
WITH CLASS GIRLS AND CLEAN LINEN
AND PROPER HYGIENE.
WELL, I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA FIND
MY CLIENTELE UP HERE
TOO INTERESTED IN THAT SORT OF THING.
THEY WILL BE ONCE THEY GET A TASTE OF IT.
I'M TELLIN' YOU, WITH SOMEONE UP HERE
TO HANDLE ALL THEM PUNTERS PROPERLY,
YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF AT LEAST DOUBLE THE MONEY
YOU MAKE ON YOUR OWN.
NOW, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
I AIN'T THOUGHT OF THAT ALREADY?
THEM TENTS, YOU KNOW, THEY'S JUST TEMPORARY.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN ONE GIRL FANCIES ANOTHER?
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN A GIRL REALLY HAS HER MONTHLY
OR WHEN SHE'S JUST TAKIN' A FEW DAYS OFF?
WHAT ABOUT WHEN THEY DON'T GET THEIR MONTHLIES,
'CAUSE THEY DON'T. WHAT DO YOU DO THEN?
I SUPPOSE YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT SEEING TO THAT.
AND WHAT ABOUT CUSTOMERS?
WHO'S GONNA SKIN 'EM BACK AND INSPECT 'EM?
YOU GONNA DO THAT? WHAT--
'CAUSE IF YOU DON'T,
THIS TOWN'LL BE CLAPPED UP INSIDE OF 2 WEEKS
IF IT'S NOT ALREADY.
WHAT ABOUT WHEN BUSINESS IS SLOW?
YOU GONNA JUST LET THE GIRLS SIT AROUND ON THEIR BUMS?
'CAUSE I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, MR. McCABE.
WHEN A GOOD WHORE GETS TIME TO SIT AROUND AND THINK,
4 OUT OF 5 TIMES SHE'LL TURN TO RELIGION,
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WAS BORN WITH.
AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS,
YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF FILLIN' THE BLOODY CHURCH DOWN THERE
INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN POCKETS.
NOW, I HAVEN'T GOT A LOT OF TIME TO SIT AROUND AND TALK TO A MAN
WHO'S TOO DUMB TO SEE A GOOD PROPOSITION
WHEN IT'S PUT TO HIM.
DO WE MAKE A DEAL, OR DON'T WE?
HEH!
[CHUCKLING]
WELL?
SHIT.
I AIN'T TAKIN' NO GODDAMN BATH.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF I...
HMM.
[BELCHES]
KEEP IT ON THE--
WATCH THE LADDER.
THE LADDER'S ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS THE LAST LOAD FOR ME.
YOU CAN SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS.
SHE'S BRINGIN' THEM GIRLS ALL THE WAY FROM SEATTLE.
REAL FIRST-CLASS FANCY WOMEN, I HEAR.
CAN'T IMAGINE NOBODY PAYIN'
NO 25 CENTS FOR A GODDAMN BATH.
2 BITS AIN'T TOO BAD.
CHEAPEST BATH IN BEARPAW WAS 35 CENTS.
I WOULDN'T TAKE ONE IF THEY WAS FREE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE ALL SO AGAINST TAKIN' A BATH.
I AIN'T. IT'S JUST I DON'T LIKE
BEIN' TOLD WHEN, THAT'S ALL.
THAT MILLER WOMAN, SHE'S THE ONE RESPONSIBLE.
MR. McCABE, HI. HOW'S SHE LOOK?
GODDAMN GOOD.
HEY, McCABE, WHY DON'T YOU GO ASK MRS. MILLER
WHEN THEM NEW WHORES ARE COMIN' INTO TOWN.
I DON'T SEE WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE ONES WE GOT.
YOU JUST HOLD YOUR WATER.
YOU THINK I'M GONNA LET SOME GODDAMN CHIPPIE
COME UP HERE AND TELL ME
HOW TO RUN A GOOSEBERRY RANCH?
YOU GOT THE GODDAMN SADDLE
ON THE WRONG HORSE.
THEM GIRLS'LL COME UP HERE
WHEN I GODDAMN TELL 'EM TO COME UP HERE.
AS I RECALL,
I'M PAYIN' YOU BOYS 15 CENTS AN HOUR
AFTER YOU BEEN IN THEM GODDAMN MINES ALL DAY
SO'S YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHIN' TO DO AT NIGHT
BESIDES GO HOME AND PLAY MARY FIVE FINGERS.
[BELCHES]
RIGHT, BERG?
THAT'S RIGHT, MR. McCABE.
ALL RIGHT, BOYS, YOU HEARD WHAT HE SAID.
HE'S PAYING US 15 CENTS AN HOUR
AFTER WE'VE BEEN WORKIN' IN THE MINES ALL GODDAMN DAY
SO WE'LL HAVE SOMETHIN' ELSE TO DO
WITH OUR EVENINGS
EXCEPT PLAY WITH FIVE-FINGERED MARY.
AW, SHUT UP, JEREMY.
[PLAYING BRAHMS' LULLABY]
MRS. MILLER?
I WISH TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU, MRS. MILLER.
YOU GONNA OPEN THAT DOOR?
NO.
ALL RIGHT.
I ASKED TO HAVE A SIMPLE WORD WITH YOU
AND NOTHIN' ELSE, AND IF YOU THINK

MRS. MILLER, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THEM GIRLS

WAGON BROKE DOWN MAYBE A MILE BACK.
I GOT MOST OF THEIR THINGS IN HERE.
[CALLS OUT, INDISTINCT]
FETCH THE LADIES' LUGGAGE, QUICK AS YOU CAN.
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MY WIFE.
THIS IS MRS. WASHINGTON.
MY NAME IS SUMNER WASHINGTON. I'M A BARBER BY PROFESSION.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU. LIL?
I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AT MY BEAUTIFUL LADIES.
GIVE 'EM A HOT BATH.
GO ON. QUICK, GET THE WATER HEATED.
MY ASS IS FROZEN.
THAT'S WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS
ALWAYS SAY ABOUT YOU, DEAR.
YOU TOLD US THERE WAS GONNA BE A HOUSE UP HERE.
KEEP YOUR HAIR ON.
I'M BUILDIN' A BLOODY HERE PALACE FOR YOU GIRLS.
WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMERS
DO YOU EXPECT TO GET UP HERE?
I'M NOT FUCKING ANY CHINAMEN.
OH, SHUT UP, MAISIE.
YOU EVER KNOW A CHINK
WANT TO FUCK ANOTHER CHINK
WHEN THERE'S A WHITE WOMAN AROUND?
COME ON.
GORBLIMEY, HOW THEY DO GO ON.
YOU SAID IN YOUR LETTER THERE WAS A HOUSE UP HERE.

DOLLAR TO YOU, JACK.

ROBBY?

I HEARD THAT ONE OF THEM GIRLS THAT THEY WERE BRINGING UP
WAS AN AUTHENTIC CHINESE PRINCESS.
DO YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT CHINESE GIRLS?
HORSESHIT. IF THAT WAS TRUE,
THEIR LEGS WOULD FALL OFF.
IT IS TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
SEE, IF YOU NOTICE, THEIR EYES,
THE WAY THEY SLANT,
AND THE WAY THEY KICK UP AT THE SIDE?
THAT'S TRUE FOR THEIR WHOLE...
THAT'S TRUE-- THAT'S TRUE
FOR THE REST OF THEIR BODIES.
A FRIEND OF MINE, AMOS LINDVEL,
DOWN IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA,
HE ONCE SPENT $5.00 TO FIND OUT.
$5.00 JUST TO HAVE A LOOK.
HE SAID IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
A GUY LIKE AMOS LINDVEL WASN'T GONNA SPEND $5.00
JUST TO FIND OUT SOMETHING THAT ISN'T TRUE.
* BEAUTIFUL DREAMER *
* WAKE UNTO ME *
* LA LA LA LA LA LA LA *
[WIND BLOWING]
[DOGS BARKING]
I'M THE COOK NOW.
I'M NOT A WHORE ANYMORE.
YOU'RE JUST THROWING AWAY ALL THAT EXPERIENCE, LILY.
IT'S UNFAIR.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS PLACE
WHEN WE GET IT FINISHED.
IT'S GONNA BE REALLY NICE.
YOU KNOW, THE WHOREHOUSES DOWN IN SOUTH AMERICA
ARE REALLY UNUSUAL.
YOU WERE DOWN IN SOUTH AMERICA?
YES. I WAS DOWN THERE WHEN I WAS A BOY.
THEY'RE REALLY UNUSUAL WHORES.
THEY'RE NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL.
THEY'RE NOT FANCY AT ALL.
THEY'RE JUST SORT OF MUD HUTS,
YOU KNOW? MUD HOUSES.
YOU GET A FAMILY OF PEOPLE
WORKING IN THESE MUD HOUSES,
AND THE WOMEN IN THE FAMILY ARE WHORES.
WHERE'S BERG? DO YOU KNOW WHERE BERG IS?
HE'S IN THERE.
HAS HE HAD A BATH?
MADAM, I'M NOT HERE AS A CUSTOMER.
BERG?
ARE YOU LOOKIN' FOR ME, MR. McCABE?
ARE YOU TRYIN' TO PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS, BERG?
WELL, UH... OH, THESE ORDER FORMS.
YEAH, WELL, THAT'S ALL RIGHT BECAUSE, UH...
HOW MUCH IS THAT CHINESE?
$1.50.
DOES THAT GO FOR MRS. MILLER, TOO?
SHE'S $5.00.
$5.00?
MAKE SURE YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU ORDERED.
THAT RIGHT, MRS. MILLER?
WHAT'S THAT?
$5.00.
THAT'S RIGHT.
JESUS CHRIST.
AH, SHIT.
ALL RIGHT, THEN. LET'S GO.
YOU MUST BE RICH OR SOMETHIN'.
[MUSIC PLAYS]
IT'S IN YOUR OWN BEST INTEREST
TO HAVE THESE FORMS
AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE SIGNED.
HELLO, MR. QUIGLEY.
NOT SCARED OF ME, ARE YOU?
...THAT YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING YOU ORDERED,
THEN YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT PROOF.
IT'S RIGHT THERE.
YOU'VE GOT MY SIGNATURE ON THESE ORDER FORMS,
AND THAT'S ALL YOU'D NEED.
WELL...
THAT'S IT.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, YOU'D LIKE US TO STAY AROUND,
SEE IF MAYBE SOMEONE DOESN'T--
NO, YOU GO AHEAD.
I GOTTA PUT THE RINGER ON THESE BOOKS.
I CAN'T TELL THE GODDAMN OWLS FROM THE CHICKENS.
* TRAVELIN' LADY *
* STAY A WHILE *
* UNTIL THE NIGHT IS OVER *
* I'M JUST A STATION ON YOUR WAY *
* I KNOW I'M NOT YOUR LOVER *
14...
14 AND 8.
AH, SHIT!
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS IN SUCH A LOUSY TEMPER?
BECAUSE, MY DEAR MRS. MILLER,
I'VE NOT ONLY BUILT YOU YOUR GOOSEBERRY RANCH,
I'VE PAID FOR A BATHHOUSE I DON'T NEED.
I PAID FOR TRANSPORTATION.
I PAID FOR TOWELS AND LINENS AND ENEMA BAGS.
I PAID FOR THINGS
THEM CHIPPIES OF YOURS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE,
BUT I HAVE NOT SOLD A FULL BOTTLE OF WHISKEY
IN HERE TODAY, AND THAT'S A FACT.
AND THAT, MY DEAR MR. McCABE,
IS 'CAUSE EVERY GEEZER IN THIS TOWN
WAS TAKIN' A BATH IN YOUR BATHHOUSE
OR HAVIN' IT OFF WITH A GIRL IN YOUR WHOREHOUSE.
WELL, I AIN'T SEEN NONE OF THAT MONEY.
AND WHAT MY BOOKS TELL ME I NEED MOST OF ALL
RIGHT NOW IS THE MONEY.
WHOREHOUSE AND BATHHOUSE MONEY
FOR THE FIRST WEEK.
WE'RE A LITTLE SHORT ON THE BATH MONEY
'CAUSE OF THE FIRST NIGHT'S RUSH,
BUT I'LL SEE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
HA HA HA!
WELL, I'M NOT SURPRISED YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT AND HOW MUCH YOU AIN'T.
YOU GOT YOUR CREDIT COLUMN
ON A DIFFERENT PAGE FROM YOUR DEBIT.
HEY, I'LL THANK YOU
TO KEEP YOUR LITTLE NOSE OUT OF THINGS
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
WHAT'S 14 FROM 23?
WHAT?
YOU HEARD ME. 14 FROM 23.
9.
9 PLUS 16.
25.
MY DEAR MADAM,
I CAN HOLD MY OWN IN ANY GAME OF CHANCE
WITH ANY AMOUNT YOU CAN COUNT.
AND I CAN FIGURE IT OUT BEFORE YOU BLINK AN EYE.
AND DON'T GIVE ME THEM HORSEPUCKIES
JUST 'CAUSE IT TAKES ME A LITTLE TIME
TO WRITE IT UP FORMAL.
WELL, IF YOU'RE SO BLOODY SMART,
THEN YOU KNOW THAT IF WE WENT AHEAD
AND BOUGHT THE WINDOWS AND DOORS
FOR THE WHOREHOUSE,
WE'D MAKE TWICE AS MUCH MONEY.
OR PERHAPS YOU LIKE THE IDEA OF SCREWIN'
WITH THE WIND WHISTLIN' UP YOUR KHYBER!
WHENEVER YOU TALK ABOUT SPENDIN' MONEY,
YOU SAY "WE."
I SAY "WE," MR. McCABE,
BECAUSE YOU THINK SMALL.
YOU THINK SMALL
'CAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID TO THINK BIG.
I'M TELLIN' YOU,
YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.
YOU WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
SHUFFLIN' CARDS IN THIS DUMP, FINE.
I DON'T.
THERE'S GONNA COME A TIME--
THERE'S GONNA COME A TIME
WHEN I GO TO ME HOME IN FRISCO--SAN FRANCISCO--
AND BUY ME A LEGITIMATE BOARDINGHOUSE,
BUT RIGHT NOW I DON'T WANT THOSE SMALL-TIMERS
SCREWING UP ME BUSINESS.
BOARDINGHOUSE, HUH?
LIKE TO GET A GOOD LOOK AT THEM BOARDERS.
HEY!
WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE OFF TO?
MONEY AND PAIN.
PAIN, PAIN.
[SILENT NIGHT PLAYING]
HEY, AL, LOOK AT THIS.
HEY, HON, YOU WORK AT MRS. MILLER'S?
THAT'S MY WIFE.

OH, THERE'S NOTHIN' TO MISUNDERSTAND.

AND HE'S WORKING HIS WAY BACK.
AND HE LOOKED OUT THE EAGLE'S ASS,
AND HE SAYS, "HEY, EAGLE!" HE SAYS,
"OH," HE SAYS, "HOW HIGH UP ARE WE?"
AND THE EAGLE SAYS,
"WELL, WE'RE UP ABOUT A MILE, 2 MILES."
AND--AND THE FROG SAYS,
HE SAYS, "WELL, UH,

HEY, THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S REALLY GOOD, MR. McCABE.

SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT.
OFFERED ME $5,500.
TAKE YOUR HAT OFF THE BED.
IT'S BAD LUCK.
$5,500.
T'AIN'T BAD, EH, MRS. MILLER?
AND I PLAYED IT JUST SMART AS A POSSUM.
I GIVE 'EM A NO, AND I WENT RIGHT ON ABOUT MY BUSINESS.

SHH!

HOW WOULD I KNOW?
I DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME.
HE'S GOT NO RESPECT.

WELL, NOW, SEE, NOW, THAT'S WHY I DON'T REMEMBER IT.
$5,500.

THE IMMEDIATE ANSWER TO THAT WOULD BE NO.
[PUFFING]
BRRRR! AAAHH! NO, NO.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU THE REST OF MY STORY.

YOU'RE A FUNNY LITTLE THING.
SOMETIMES YOU'RE JUST THE SWEETEST.
AND THEN OTHER TIMES, I--
* I'M JUST A STATION ON YOUR WAY *
* I KNOW I'M NOT YOUR LOVER *
* SHE USED TO WEAR HER HAIR LIKE YOU *

* OF SMOKE AND GOLD AND DREAMIN' *
LISTEN, YOU WANT TO MAKE A DEAL. ALL RIGHT?

IF YOU WANT TO HANG AROUND HERE
AND TRY AND KNOCK SOME SENSE
INTO THAT FOOL'S HEAD, THAT'S UP TO YOU.
I'M GOIN' BACK. RIGHT NOW.
AFTER 17 YEARS,

THAN BEING SENT OUT
ON A GODDAMN SNIPE HUNT LIKE THIS.
HE'S IMPOSSIBLE.
YEAH, OK. I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE TRIED.
LISTEN, YOU THINK THAT MEAT WAS ALL RIGHT?
HOPE IT WASN'T RANCID.
THAT'S ALL I NEED ON A TRIP LIKE THIS

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU?
[MUTTERS]
[MEOW]
WELL, HOW IS HE?
TERRIBLE. HE'S OUT AGAIN.
DIDN'T COME THROUGH AGAIN THIS TIME
FOR 3 HOURS.
JESUS CHRIST.

HE KEEPS PASSIN' OUT.
I THINK HE CRACKED IT.
HEY, ROBBY, I WANT YOU TO BREAK OUT ONE OF THEM JARS
OF DAMSON PRESERVES I GOT SENT UP HERE FROM PORTLAND.
GIVE HIM ANOTHER DRINK.
DIDN'T I SAY THERE WAS THREE FOR BREAKFAST?
SMALLEY SAID THE OTHERS WEREN'T COMIN'.
THOSE OTHER TWO, THEY LEFT LAST NIGHT.
OH, YOU HANDLED THEM BEAUTIFULLY.
THEY KNEW THEY WEREN'T DEALIN' WITH NO TINHORN.
ALMIGHTY GOD IN HEAVEN
WHO SEES AND KNOWS ALL THE SINFUL ACTS
OF THOSE THAT OFFEND HIM ON THIS EARTH,
THE SWIFT AND POWERFUL BLADE OF JUSTICE
LAYS OPEN THE SERPENT OF EVIL
AND LEAVES HIS PUTRID FLESH
TO ROT UNDER THE SUN OF HEAVEN
AND SENDS ITS SOUL TO BURN FOREVER
IN HELL'S FIRE.
ACCEPT THE TOIL OF THIS SERVANT
AS ATONEMENT FOR HIS SINS
AND GRANT HIM ENTRANCE INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
AND EVERLASTING LIFE
AT THE FOOT OF THE ALMIGHTY THRONE. AMEN.

[FIDDLE PLAYS]
WELL, IT JUST HURTS SO MUCH.
I GUESS MAYBE I'M...SMALL?
NAH. YOU GOT TO LEARN TO RELAX, THAT'S ALL.
I THINK--YEAH, MAYBE THIS WILL DO.
STAND UP. TAKE YOUR TOP OFF.
YOU GOTTA TAKE YOUR MIND OFF IT,
THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE.
YEAH?
LOOK AT A WALL,
COUNT THE ROSES ON THE WALLPAPER.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?
THERE'S NOTHIN' TO HIDE.
SEE, THE THING IS, IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'.
YOU NEVER KNOW,
YOU MIGHT EVEN GET TO LIKE IT.
I MEAN, YOU MANAGED IT
WITH BART, DIDN'T YOU? HEY?
OH, YEAH, YOU REALLY ARE SMALL, AREN'T YOU?
JUST LIKE ME.
I'LL GET A FEW PINS.
OH, BUT WITH HIM, I HAD TO.
IT WAS MY DUTY.
TURN AROUND.
IT WEREN'T YOUR DUTY, EITHER.
YOU DID IT TO PAY FOR YOUR BED AND BOARD.
YOU DO THIS TO PAY FOR YOUR BED AND BOARD, TOO,
ONLY YOU KEEP A LITTLE EXTRA FOR YOURSELF,
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK NOBODY FOR NOTHIN',
WHICH IS MORE HONEST, TO MY MIND.
DON'T WORRY. YOU'RE GONNA DO JUST FINE HERE.
[FIDDLE PLAYS]
[WHISTLE]
A DOLLAR.
OK, I'LL BUMP YOU A DOLLAR.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

OH, SHIT, YOU LITTLE FART.
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKIN' AT MY DAMN CARDS.
NO, IT'S JUST YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BET.
ANYBODY COULD TELL WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
DEAL THIS HAND FOR ME.
McCABE, WEBSTER'S GOIN' DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TODAY
IN HIS WAGON.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
AW, JESUS, THERE'S STILL TIME
TO GET IN ON THAT BOOM
AROUND PORT MOODY. SHE SAYS
THAT YOU CAN HAVE A NEW BUSINESS THERE
FOR NO MONEY AT ALL. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO
GO OUT THERE FIRST AND HAVE A LOOK.
I THINK YOU SHOULD GO TODAY WITH WEBSTER--
I'M YOUR PARTNER. YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO ME.
WHAT ARE YOU PLANNIN' TO DO ABOUT THEM BLOKES?
BLOKES? TALKIN' ABOUT THEM BOYS UP THERE?
SMALLEY'S UP THERE TALKIN' TO 'EM NOW.
HE'S GONNA BRING 'EM DOWN,
AND I'M GONNA MAKE A DEAL WITH 'EM.
WHAT IF THEY DON'T MAKE A DEAL?
WELL, THEN I WON'T MAKE A DEAL WITH 'EM.
I'LL JUST HAVE A DRINK.
WOULD YOU CARE TO JOIN ME IN A DRINK?
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN'T WORRY WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
THEY WON'T EVEN KNOW.
WEBSTER'S COVERED HIS WAGON NOW.
HE FOUND ALL THIS CANVAS, AND AND HE JUST COVERED HIS WAGON.
HE--HE'S COVERED HIS WAGON, AND NO ONE WOULD EVEN--
ANYWAY, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU HAVE TO ANSWER TO ANYONE FOR?
I MEAN, YOU BLOODY WELL OWN THIS TOWN, DON'T YOU?
I APPRECIATE YOU WORRYIN' ABOUT ME.
I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT THERE AIN'T NOTHIN'
TO BE SCARED OF. I TELL YOU,
THEY THE ONES THAT GOT TO MAKE A DEAL, NOT ME.
I FEEL SORRY FOR 'EM. THEM OLD GUFFERS
BEEN WORKIN' THIS COMPANY 20 YEARS.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND THE COMPANY SAYS
GET ON UP THERE AND MAKE A DEAL WITH McCABE
AND DON'T COME BACK TILL YOU DONE IT.
AND, HELL, WHEN THEY COME UPSIDE A MULE LIKE ME,
I FEEL SORRY FOR 'EM, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH.
I DO. I REALLY DO. I FEEL SORRY FOR 'EM.
I KNOW WHAT I'M DOIN'.
WHAT'S HE CARRYIN' THAT BLOODY BLUNDERBUSS WITH HIM FOR, THEN?
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE HE COME UP HERE TO HUNT POSSUM.
YOU WANT A DRINK OR NOT?
THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHIN' TO TALK ABOUT.
WHO'S HERE?
HIS NAME'S BUTLER.
THE SON OF A BITCH MUST BE 7 FEET TALL.
WELL, UH, YOU INVITE 'EM DOWN HERE FOR A MEAL OR...OR, UH...
YEAH, BUT THEY SAID
THEY WERE GONNA EAT AT SHEEHAN'S.
SMALLEY, GIVE ME 4 OR 5 OF THEM STOGIES, WILL YA?
LISTEN, THEY'D MAKE A DEAL IF HE WANTED TO.
THEY GET PAID FOR KILLIN', NOTHIN' ELSE.
McCABE, YOU'VE GOT TO GO OVER AND STOP--
THANK YOU, SMALLEY.
GO DOWN TO THE WAGON. I'LL TELL EVERYBODY
YOU GOT BUSINESS. I'LL TELL 'EM
YOU'VE GOT BUSINESS WITH THE COMPANY,
IF YOU LIKE.
WELL, I GUESS IF A MAN'S FOOL ENOUGH
TO GET IN BUSINESS WITH A WOMAN,
SHE AIN'T GONNA THINK MUCH OF HIM.
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE WEALTH OF THIS TOWN IS.
CHINKYVILLE, THAT'S WHERE IT IS,
RIGHT DOWN THERE IN CHINATOWN.
I'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.
UP IN CANADA, RIGHT NOW,
THEY'RE BLASTING TUNNEL UNDER $10 A FOOT,
ALL DONE WITH A PIGTAIL.
THEY GOT SOME NEW EXPLOSIVES UP THERE,
FANTASTIC STUFF.
THEY GIVE IT TO JOHNNY CHINAMAN,
SEND HIM IN,
DOWN COMES 45, 50 TONS OF ROCK
AND ONE DEAD CHINAMAN.
AND, YOU, SIR, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE FINE IS
FOR KILLING A CHINAMAN?
$50, MAXIMUM.
THE INSPECTOR'S WORKING FOR THE COMPANY.
4 TIMES OUT OF 5, IT'S AN ACCIDENT.
YOU COULD DO THIS RIGHT HERE WITH YOUR OWN ZINC.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS TO GIVE THE BUGGER
A BOX OF THIS STUFF,
PUT HIM DOWN THE HOLE,
UP TO THE ROCK FACE,
AND THERE'S YOUR ZINC--
65 CENTS A TON.
UH, YOU MUST BE BUTLER, HUH?
SIR?
WELL, I'M JOHN McCABE.
I THINK WE GOT BUSINESS TO TALK OVER.
DO YOU SMOKE CIGARS?
YES, I DO.
HAVE ONE OF MINE.
OH, THANK YOU.
HMM.
UH, SHALL WE STEP IN THE BAR?
WE CAN GET A LITTLE PRIVACY.
NO. WE'RE FINE HERE.
SHEEHAN, SET UP A BOTTLE ON ME, WILL YOU?
BOTTLE.
UH, ABOUT THAT DEAL.
YOU KNOW, UH, WHEN THEM, UH, WHEN THEM GENTLEMEN COME UP HERE
AND MAKE ME THAT OFFER,
THERE WAS JUST A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS
WE DIDN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION.
HOW MUCH DID THEY OFFER YOU?
WELL, UH... UH, $5,500.
WELL, THEY COME UP 750 FROM THAT,
SO THAT'S, UH, THAT'S 6,250 THEY OFFERED ME.
UH...
6,250.
YEAH, BUT HOW MUCH DID YOU ASK THEM?
UH, WE NEVER GOT AROUND TO THAT
'CAUSE, UH...I--
OH, WELL, I MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED
SOMETHIN' LIKE $12, $10,000,
BUT THAT WAS JUST TO GET 'EM BARGAININ', YOU KNOW, AND, UH,
AND TO, UH, WELL, JUST SO'S THEY'D TALK SENSE.
YEAH, BUT HOW MUCH DID YOU REALLY WANT?
UH, WELL, UH, THAT DEPENDS.
I MEAN, THEY--
THEY TALKED ABOUT ALL MY HOLDINGS.
UM...
8,000?
$8,000.
UH, 7,500 PROBABLY MORE LIKELY,
MORE RIGHT.
YOU WEREN'T VERY FAR APART, WERE YOU?
OH, HELL, NO. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU, YOU SEE,
AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN
BY ALL MY HOLDINGS. I MEAN, UH, ALL MY HOLDINGS.
DOES THAT MEAN, UH, MY HORSES, MY CLOTHES, MY UNDERWEAR?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY...
UH, WELL, THE FACT IS,
SHIT, I'D BE WILLIN' TO MAKE A DEAL FOR 6,250
IF THEY DON'T COUNT MY PERSONAL PROPERTY IN THAT.
I MEAN, THAT'S PROVIDED
THAT THEY, UH, THEY BUY MY INVENTORY SEPARATE.
HOW MUCH IS THAT?
WELL, 350...
300. 300.
AND THEN--SO YOU GOT, UH, THE 300
AND 6,250.
SO THAT'S, UH, UH...
65--
6,550. 6,550.
WELL, LET'S JUST MAKE THAT AN EVEN 6,500,
AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL.
I DON'T MAKE DEALS.
UH...WELL, WHAT YOU DOIN' UP HERE
IF YOU DON'T MAKE DEALS?
I CAME UP HERE TO HUNT BEAR.
I HEAR IT'S VERY GOOD AROUND HERE.
UH...
BEAR. [LAUGHS]
HA HA HA!
UH, UH, YOU DON'T WORK FOR HARRISON SHAUGHNESSY?
SOMETIMES.
ONLY WHEN THEY CAN'T MAKE A DEAL.
LOOK, THAT'S JUST WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO TELL YOU.
THIS HERE DEAL CAN BE MADE.
NOT WITH ME.
OH.
HMM.
WELL, I GUESS WHAT I GOT TO DO
IS, UH, GET IN TOUCH WITH THIS FELLOW SEARS.
I'LL SEE YOU BOYS LATER.
McCABE.
WERE YOU EVER CALLED "PUDGY"?
A LONG TIME AGO. WHY?
MY BEST FRIEND'S BEST FRIEND
WAS BILL ROUNDTREE.
DID YOU KILL HIM?
I WAS IN A POKER GAME WHEN HE GOT SHOT,
BUT, UH...I DIDN'T KILL HIM.
ARE YOU CALLIN' HIS BEST FRIEND A LIAR?
WAIT A MINUTE. I AIN'T CALLIN' NOBODY A LIAR.
BILL ROUNDTREE GOT CAUGHT MARKIN' THE QUEENS.
HE WENT FOR HIS GUN, AND HE GOT SHOT, THAT'S ALL.
I'M GONNA COUNT 10.
IF YOU'RE NOT ON THAT BRIDGE
BY THE TIME I'M FINISHED,
I'M GONNA GET VERY CROSS WITH YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
I JUST, UH...I JUST WANT YOU BOYS TO KNOW
THAT I AIN'T WEARIN' NO GUN.
PATTY.
COME HERE.
WHO THE HELL WAS THIS BILL ROUNDTREE?
WELL, UH...
HE WAS REAL WELL-KNOWN.
I MEAN, WHO SAID HE SHOT HIM?
I TOLD YOU, EVERYBODY SAID
HE SHOT HIM WITH A DERRINGER.
THAT MAN?
THAT MAN NEVER KILLED ANYBODY.
ALL THE TIME, MAKIN' ME FEEL
LIKE I'M GONNA MAKE A FOOL OUT OF MYSELF.
WELL,
NOW WE'RE GONNA SEE WHO THE FOOLS IS.
SON OF A BITCHES.
I NEVER DID FIT IN THIS GODDAMN TOWN.
GOD, I HATE WHEN THEM BASTARDS
PUT THEIR HANDS ON YOU.
I TELL YOU, SOMETIMES...
SOMETIMES WHEN I'M TAKIN' A LOOK AT YOU,
I JUST KEEP LOOKIN' AND A-LOOKIN'.
I WANT TO FEEL YOUR LITTLE BODY UP AGAINST ME SO BAD
I THINK I'M GONNA BUST.
AND I KEEP TRYIN' TO TELL YOU
IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS...
IF, JUST ONE TIME, YOU COULD BE SWEET
WITHOUT NO MONEY AROUND.
I THINK I COULD--
WELL, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHIN'.
I GOT POETRY IN ME.
I DO. I GOT POETRY IN ME,
BUT...I AIN'T GONNA PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER.
I AIN'T NO EDUCATED MAN.
I GOT SENSE ENOUGH NOT TO TRY.
CAN'T NEVER SAY NOTHIN' TO YOU.
IF YOU JUST ONE TIME
LET ME RUN THE SHOW, I'D--
YOU'RE JUST FREEZIN' MY SOUL,
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'.
FREEZIN' MY SOUL.
WELL, SHIT. ENJOY YOURSELF, GIRL.
JUST GO AHEAD AND HAVE A TIME.
WHAT THE HELL.
IT'S JUST MY LUCK
ONLY WOMAN THAT'S EVER BEEN ONE TO ME
AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A WHORE.
BUT WHAT THE HELL, I NEVER WAS A PERCENTAGE MAN.
I SUPPOSE A WHORE'S ONLY KIND OF WOMAN I'D KNOW.
[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]
UH, EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.
UM, UH, IS THIS FELLOW EUGENE SEARS STILL HERE?
NO. HE LEFT THIS MORNIN'.
MM-HMM. UH, ANOTHER FELLOW WAS WITH HIM,
UH, BY NAME OF, UH, ERNIE.
MR. HOLLANDER.
HOLLANDER. THAT'S RIGHT. UH...
I WONDER IF HE'S STILL HERE.
NO. HE WENT WITH HIM.
WELL, THANK YOU ALL THE SAME.
THE LAW IS HERE
TO PROTECT THE LITTLE GUY LIKE YOURSELF, McCABE,
AND I'M AT YOUR SERVICE FREE OF CHARGE.
FREE?
THAT'S WHAT I SAID.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ME ANYTHING.
IT WOULD BE AN HONOR
FOR THE NEXT SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF WASHINGTON
TO BE YOUR SERVANT
BEFORE THE SCALES OF JUSTICE.
THAT'S, UH, MIGHTY DECENT OF YOU.
WHEN A MAN, McCABE...
WHEN A MAN GOES INTO THE WILDERNESS
AND WITH HIS BARE HANDS
GIVES BIRTH TO A SMALL ENTERPRISE,
NOURISHES IT,
AND TENDS IT WHILE IT GROWS,
WELL, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT NO DIRTY SONS OF BITCHES
ARE GONNA TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM.
NOW, AIN'T THAT RIGHT?
WELL, I--
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT IT'S RIGHT.
NOW, YOU TAKE THAT THERE COMPANY--
HARRISON SHAUGHNESSY.
THEY HAVE STOCKHOLDERS.
NOW, DO YOU THINK THEY WANT
THEIR STOCKHOLDERS AND THE PUBLIC
THINKIN' THAT THEIR MANAGEMENT ISN'T IMBUED
WITH ALL THE PRINCIPLES OF FAIR PLAY AND JUSTICE,
THE VERY VALUES THAT MAKE THIS COUNTRY WHAT IT IS TODAY?
UH-HUH.
BUSTIN' UP THESE TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES
IS AT THE VERY ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
OF CREATING A JUST SOCIETY.
DAMN IT, McCABE, I'M HERE TO TELL YOU
THAT THIS FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM OF OURS WORKS,
AND WORKING WITHIN IT,
WE CAN PROTECT THE SMALL BUSINESSMAN
AND THE BIG BUSINESSMAN AS WELL.
WELL, YEAH.
I--I JUST DIDN'T, UH, DIDN'T WANT TO GET KILLED.
UNTIL PEOPLE STOP DYIN' FOR FREEDOM,
THEY AIN'T GONNA BE FREE.
I CAN SEE IT NOW
ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WASHINGTON POST,
RIGHT NEXT TO A PICTURE OF WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN--
"McCABE STRIKES A BLOW FOR THE LITTLE GUY."
OH, COME...
YOU'RE GONNA BECOME A FAMOUS MAN, McCABE.
WE COULD FIND OURSELVES HAVIN' DINNER
WITH WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
WELL, I--
YOU'RE GONNA BE A HERO.
OH, COME ON.
YOU'RE GONNA STARE 'EM DOWN
AND MAKE THEM QUAKE IN THEIR BOOTS.
MM-HMM.
WELL...
WHA-WHAT DO WE DO?
WE GET THE MARSHAL AND, UH...
NO?
WE DON'T NEED THE MARSHAL.
WE'RE GONNA DO THIS THROUGH THE COURTS.
WELL, THEN, UH, I GUESS WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN'
IS THAT, UH, WE GET THIS THING IN THE PAPERS,
IN THE COURTS, AND ALL THAT, THAT, UH...
WELL, THEY JUST CAN'T AFFORD TO KILL ME.
IS, UH, THAT RIGHT?
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT THAT'S RIGHT.
THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO LIFT ONE LITTLE FINGER AGAINST YOU.
COMES A TIME
IN EVERY MAN'S LIFE, CONSTANCE,
WHEN HE'S JUST GOT TO STICK HIS HAND
IN THE FIRE AND, UH...
AND, UH, SEE WHAT HE'S MADE OUT OF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT?
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT BUSTIN' UP THESE TRUSTS
AND MONOPOLIES, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO PROTECT
THE SMALL BUSINESSMAN FROM THESE BIG COMPANIES,
AND I'M GONNA BE THE MAN.
CONSTANCE, JUST 'CAUSE WE AIN'T NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT
DON'T MEAN I AIN'T GOT, UH, CERTAIN PRINCIPLES.
I KNOW IT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN' TO YOU,
BUT I GOT A REPUTATION IN THIS TOWN. THESE P--
WHAT'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO YOU?
YOU'VE JUST GOT TO SELL OUT!
JUST SELL OUT AND GO SOMEPLACE
WHERE PEOPLE ARE CIVILIZED.
THEY'LL GET YOU, McCABE.
[TEARFULLY] THEY'LL GET YOU,
AND THEY'LL DO SOMETHIN' AWFUL TO YOU.
NOW, NOW, LITTLE LADY.
AIN'T NOTHIN' GONNA HAPPEN TO ME.
DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT "LITTLE LADY" SHIT.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. JUST GIVE ME MY $1,500.
I WANT TO MAKE A DEAL, AND IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA MAKE
A DEAL WITH 'EM, THEN I'LL MAKE A DEAL WITH 'EM!
EAT YOUR MEAL.
YOU CAN'T MAKE NO DEAL.
BYE.
BYE, HONEY.
GONNA MISS YA.
YEAH, I'M GONNA MISS YOU, TOO.
BE A GOOD BOY.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF.
I WILL. BYE.
SAY BYE TO MRS. MILLER FOR ME.
OK. GOOD-BYE.
SHE'S AMAZING.
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF.
BE CAREFUL.
OH, YEAH.
COME BACK.
BYE, COWBOY.
COME BACK.
I WILL.
IT'S SHORTY. COME ON IN.
BYE, COWBOY!
I WASN'T TRYIN' TO HIT IT.
THE TRICK IS NOT TO HIT IT,
BUT TO MAKE IT FLOAT.
HEY, HOLD IT, SONNY.
WHAT?
HOLD UP ON YOUR TARGET PRACTICE A MINUTE.
I DON'T WANT TO GET SHOT.
WELL, THEN GET OFF THE BRIDGE,
YOU SADDLE TRAMP.
I WANT TO BUY SOME SOCKS.
I GOT A LONG RIDE AHEAD OF ME.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SOCKS YOU GOT ON?
I WORE 'EM OUT RUNNIN' AROUND HALF NAKED
IN THAT WHOREHOUSE OVER THERE.
THAT'S REALLY QUITE A PLACE. YOU BEEN THERE YET?
TAKE OFF YOUR BOOTS AND SHOW ME.
OH, YOU'RE JOSHIN' ME.
I SAID TAKE OFF YOUR BOOTS
AND SHOW ME, YOU EGG SUCKER.
I AIN'T GONNA DO THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU WEARIN' THAT GUN FOR?
NOTHIN'. I JUST WEAR IT.
CAN'T HIT NOTHIN' WITH IT.
WELL, THAT DON'T MAKE NO SENSE.
WHAT KIND OF GUN IS IT?
COLT.
THEM'S GOOD GUNS.
THAT'S WHAT I GOT.
MUST BE SOMETHIN' WRONG WITH IT.
NAH, IT'S ME. I JUST CAN'T SHOOT GOOD.
WELL, LET ME SEE IT.
COME ON. MAYBE I CAN FIX IT FOR YOU.
OK.
CONSTANCE.
YOU'RE THE BEST-LOOKIN' WOMAN I EVER SAW,
AND I AIN'T NEVER TRIED TO DO NOTHIN'
BUT PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE.
I AIN'T NO GOOD AT SAYIN' I'M SORRY.
I, UH...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I GUESS I AIN'T NEVER BEEN THIS CLOSE
TO NOBODY BEFORE.
HEY.
WHY DON'T YOU GET UNDER THE COVERS?
HUH?
CONSTANCE--
YEAH, YEAH. YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY NOTHIN'.
I'M SORRY.
HEY...
COME ON.
