1Now you can tell 'em. 2What for are you mixing in? 3Maybe I don't like to see kids get hurt. 4Break any bones, son? 5He's got a knife behind his collar! 6- There's a stirrup. 7You want a lift? 8- No. 9- Why not? 10- I'm beholden to you, mister. 11Couldn't we just leave it that way? 12- Morning. 13- Morning. 14- Put him up? 15- For how long? 16- I wouldn't know. 17- It'll be two bits for oats. 18- Ain't I seen you before? 19- Depends on where you've been. 20- I follow the railroad, mostly. 21- Could be you've seen me. 22- It'll be four bits if he stays the night. 23- Fair enough. 24Morning. 25Did a man ride in today - tall, sort of heavyset? 26- You mean him, Mr Renner? 27- Not him. 28This one had a scar. 29Along his cheek? 30No, sir. 31I don't see no man with a scar. 32I guess maybe I can have some apple pie and coffee. 33I guess you could have eggs with bacon if you wanted eggs with bacon. 34- Hello, Charlie. 35- Hello, Grant. 36It's good to see you, Charlie. 37It's awful good to see you. 38It's good to see you too. 39- I'll get the eggs. 40- No, get the pie. 41I can pay for the pie. 42You're a very stubborn man. 43Apple pie is not for breakfast. 44It is if you like apple pie. 45Now I need a fork. 46- Working here long? 47- About three weeks. 48How's the Utica Kid? 49He was well... when I saw him last. 50When was that? 51- Good morning. 52- Morning. 53Well, business is early and Pete is late. 54The lunches. 55Are they fixed? 56Why do I ask? 57The lunches are always fixed. 58Why? 59Because you fix them. 60Charlie, I'll make you an omelette like only Pete can make an omelette. 61Very bad. 62Come on around, sit down, have a cup of coffee. 63Pete had that place in Santa Fe, remember? 64Are you running a shoe store on the side? 65Those are box lunches for the work train. 66Money, money, money. 67Pete knows how to make it. 68He follows the railroad. 69I guess a lot of people follow the railroad. 70You and Pete. 71The Utica Kid. 72I asked when you saw him last. 73They've lost three payrolls. 74Now when did you see him last? 75- Charlie, where did I put my apron? 76- It's under here. 77You must be nice fella. 78If Charlie sits with you, you must be nice fella. 79I make omelette for you too. 80We were talking about the Utica Kid. 81He can wait. 82Ben Kimball's in town. 83They put his car on the siding yesterday. 84- I know. 85- His wife is with him. 86Is she? 87I often wondered what Verna was like. 88I saw her last night. 89All fine silk and feathers. 90She's soft and beautiful. 91And I can understand now. 92Can you? 93How long are you gonna be in town? 94- That depends on Ben Kimball. 95- You working for the railroad again? 96- If I am? 97- That would be good. 98Playing the accordion's not for you, not for a living. 99You belong to the railroad and it belongs to you. 100There were a lot of things that used to belong to me and somehow I lost them. 101Two omelettes a-comin' up. 102- Do you like eggs? 103- No. 104That's too bad. 105You got an omelette coming up. 106Well, somebody's gotta eat them. 107Come on. 108That means you. 109- Could you put it in a box? 110- An omelette? 111I'll be hungrier when I get to end of track. 112Maybe it will go down easy. 113Easy or not, it goes down right now. 114I can't pay for it. 115Then you can help me sell lunches at the station. 116Any more arguments? 117Come in. 118- You want to see me, Ben? 119- I certainly do. 120Hello, Grant. 121Sit down. 122All right, Jeff. 123Renner, go to Pete's and get one breakfast and a jug of coffee. 124- You haven't eaten yet? 125- I've eaten. 126Just get coffee. 127Hot. 128- How's everything been going? 129- I make a living. 130- Playing an accordion? 131- That's right. 132Want me to play a tune for you? 133There's other jobs besides railroading. 134Well, Colorado may be big in miles. 135It's kinda short on people. 136So when a man gets fired the way I was fired the story gets around. 137Well, I'm... 138I'm sorry. 139- No, I like to make music. 140- And it keeps you near the railroad. 141If someone needs information about a payroll, you can sell it. 142You know it's a funny thing. 143I don't like you either. 144- Is that why you sent for me? 145- No. 146And keep out of this. 147Have it your way. 148But I don't trust him now any more than I did when I sent him after the Utica Kid. 149I sent you after a thief and you gave him a horse to get away on. 150- I told you to keep shut. 151- Let him talk. 152I'm not wearing a gun. 153I'll be honest with you. 154He'd talk the same if I was. 155- It's been nice seeing you. 156- Grant. 157I'm sure Jeff didn't mean to be rude. 158Sometimes he has a blunt way of putting things. 159Unfortunately, Ben isn't much better. 160It's not unfortunate. 161It just gets things said in a hurry. 162Too much of a hurry. 163They forgot to ask you if you'd work for the railroad again. 164Would you? 165Yes, I would. 166Not to give you a short answer. 167- It's the answer I wanted. 168- Sit down, Grant. 169Do you remember Whitey Harbin? 170Used to work down in Arizona and New Mexico. 171- Yeah. 172- Well, he's moved into Colorado. 173I thought he favoured stage lines and banks. 174So did we. 175But he's learned about railroad payrolls 176- and he's grabbed three in a row. 177- Where do I fit in? 178They're making up a supply train in the yard. 179I want you to ride it. 180- With $10,000 in your pocket. 181- Why me? 182Quite frankly, because no one would suspect you of carrying a payroll. 183I sure don't look like $10,000, do I? 184Are you building a bridge you don't need? 185The money's here. 186Why not bring the men in on Saturday and pay them off in town? 187And lose half the crew? 188Turn them loose in a mining town, they'll go up the hills looking for gold. 189It won't work. 190And we have to finish this section before snow comes. 191That's a pretty big gamble on a man who gave his horse to a thief! 192Yes. 193You might as well know the deck's stacked against you. 194A boxcar will be hooked to the train. 195I'll be one of the men in it. 196- When did this happen? 197- Last week. 198- Renner, did you know? 199- Yes. 200- Why didn't you tell me? 201- I told him not to. 202- Why? 203- Everything we plan gets back to Whitey. 204- You think I'd tell him? 205- You might trust the wrong people. 206- If he takes the job, I'm sure of it. 207- And if I don't take it? 208Then Jeff will be sitting in Ben's chair. 209Oh, I wouldn't like that. 210Uh-uh. 211So I'll take the job on one condition. 212If I make the delivery I get his job. 213You made a deal. 214Thank you. 215Wait a minute. 216It's getting cold up in the hills. 217This coat has always been too long for me. 218Thanks. 219Well. 220I thought you didn't like him. 221He said that. 222I said I didn't trust him. 223And I still don't. 224Grant. 225Are you surprised Ben sent for you? 226I was until I talked to him. 227He seems to have changed. 228You're right. 229He doesn't belong in a private car with clerks, figures and pressure from the office. 230He belongs at the end of track, running a gang and building a railroad. 231- He's a working stiff like you. 232- Yes, but he can dream a little too. 233Colorado wouldn't have a railroad if he hadn't sold them on the idea. 234For his sake, I wish he hadn't. 235He was happy at end of track but they kicked him upstairs and sent us to Chicago. 236- And now he needs a little help. 237- That's why he sent for you. 238Oh, I may have had something to do with it. 239Why? 240There was a time when you were interested in me. 241I was more than interested in you. 242I wanted to marry you. 243Times when I'm sorry you didn't. 244Aren't you? 245No. 246A man likes to know his woman will back him when he's down and you didn't. 247Ben called me a thief and you went right along with him. 248It's as simple as that. 249Grant. 250For old times' sake. 251For old times' sake? 252Just that and nothing more? 253Perhaps just a little more. 254We want to be sure that payroll goes through, don't we? 255I don't know. 256Maybe Jeff is right. 257His type seldom changes. 258And if we've made a mistake, it's the finish of everything. 259Then why not cut this car into the supply train? 260If we're all playing showdown, I'd like to see the cards when they fall. 261- Thank you. 262I hope you have a nice trip. 263- Thank you. 264- Ma'am, is that all? 265- Mm-hm. 266- Here's your lunch. 267You've earned it. 268- Thanks. 269- Mister, are you going to end of track? 270- Yes. 271Could you stake me to a ticket? 272I can ride half fare if I'm with an adult. 273- And you're an adult. 274- Well, sometimes I wonder. 275All right. 276You can come along. 277We'll ride with the other fellas with no money. 278- On the flatcar? 279- Go on. 280Climb aboard. 281Plenty of fresh air. 282Do you good, make you grow. 283Are you sure he didn't come while I was away? 284Ain't nobody been here but the man riding the sorrel. 285- What colour horse your man riding? 286- How should I know? 287It's extremely important that I see him. 288They've cut in Mr Kimball's car. 289Barley! 290A man told you to put his horse up... 291Don't start that too. 292That there sorrel is the only horse what come in. 293That there sorrel is the horse I want. 294He belongs to my friend Grant McLaine. 295McLaine? 296That's who it is. 297I knew him as a troubleshooter in Santa Fe before he went bad. 298- He didn't go bad. 299- What'll you do with his horse? 300- Ride him! 301I'll change, you saddle him. 302- All right. 303Hey, Pilgrim! 304Come here! 305Don't go getting your liver all upset. 306- Once you miss 'em, they stay missed. 307- It's none of your business. 308- Could be. 309You wanting to get on that car? 310- If I am? 311- I can take you to where it's going. 312- On one of these? 313They'll get you to end of track before the train does. 314- That's ridiculous. 315- $100 aging yours I'm right. 316- You've got a bet. 317- And you got stuck. 318Here. 319I'll let you ride Flap Ears. 320- You can smoke inside, mister. 321- I can smoke where I want. 322You can burn too if it pleases you but it'll still cost you four bits. 323- For what? 324- Travelling first-class. 325Otherwise ride the flats. 326- You play that? 327- Yeah, I play it. 328- When? 329- When? 330Whenever somebody throws a dime in my hat. 331- I ain't got a dime. 332- This one's on me. 333- Been up here before? 334- Part way. 335- What takes you to end of track? 336- A job. 337Figured I'd get one at Junction City. 338They told me the foremen do the hiring. 339You're a little small for swinging a sledge. 340- I can carry water. 341- Yeah, you can carry water. 342- Very important job. 343- Hey! 344- What are you doing here? 345- He's with me, Pick. 346- Where did you get him? 347- Somebody threw him away. 348Don't you throw him away. 349He'll get lost in the mountains. 350Who tells the men who build railroads how to get through the mountains? 351- The river. 352- Huh? 353They just follow the river. 354- Who told you that? 355- I guess my dad was the first. 356He had a little song about it. 357# Follow the river 358# The river knows the way 359# Hearts can go astray 360# It happens every day 361# Follow the river 362# Wherever you may be 363# Follow the river back to me # 364Wouldn't you wanna be knowing about Concho? 365- Who's Concho? 366- The man you roped. 367Do you wanna know? 368Not unless you wanna tell me. 369I ought to tell you. 370He's fast with a gun. 371Only know two men who are faster. 372Which two men would they be? 373Whitey Harbin for one. 374I run away from Whitey. 375That's why Concho was after me. 376You're one of Whitey's men? 377No. 378I was in Montrose. 379Whitey and his bunch were robbing a bank. 380I was just in the road watching. 381Whitey was all for killing me but the other fellow wouldn't let him. 382He swung me up into the saddle and said, 383"You ain't killing a kid. 384Not while I ride with you." 385- Whitey, he backed down. 386- Cos the fella's faster with a gun? 387Like lightning. 388This other fella, does he have a name? 389He's got a name. 390The Utica Kid. 391I'd have stayed with the bunch if he was boss. 392- But he's not? 393- Not yet. 394Always he's shoving pins into Whitey, laughing at him, driving him crazy. 395Even crazier than he is! 396Someday Whitey will crack and he'll lose. 397Is this the fresh air you were talking about? 398How come them fellas can ride inside? 399Well, it's the old story of good and evil. 400If you spend all your money on whiskey, you have none left for a ticket. 401Don't drink. 402Then you'd have six bits when you need it. 403That's very true. 404Tell you what, maybe I have six bits. 405Yeah. 406What do you say we go in and spend it? 407Come on. 408Guess I wasn't tough enough to follow the river that way. 409Sometimes it isn't easy travelling upstream. 410- That will be a dollar. 411- That'll be six bits. 412I'm the adult. 413Here. 414Hold on to that. 415- Don't worry about Concho. 416- You would if... 417Oh, no, come on. 418Sit down. 419We can both worry together if you want to tell me about it. 420- It's nothing. 421- And if it was, you'd rather not say. 422All right. 423I broke with Whitey. 424Doesn't mean I have to talk. 425No, you don't have to talk. 426I even broke with the Utica Kid. 427- Hi, Utica. 428- Put him away, Howdy. 429Sure. 430Come on. 431It's a pretty good rig. 432Too good for the guy that owned it. 433Remember that draw you taught me? 434It worked. 435He went down with his gun in the leather. 436- And now you're an "in case" man. 437- In case? 438Yeah. 439In case you miss six times with one, you draw the other. 440- If you have time. 441- I'll have time. 442Call it. 443Draw! 444You better learn to draw that one before you fool around with the other. 445About three inches high, Whitey. 446You better take another look at that skull. 447Next time it could be yours. 448Don't soft-foot up behind me! 449It makes me nervous! 450So I notice. 451What else did you notice? 452Did you see Concho? 453- Did you see him? 454- He wasn't on the trail. 455Did I ask you where he wasn't? 456I asked you did you see him? 457- I would've said so. 458- Not straight out you wouldn't. 459Because you're a funny man. 460You've always gotta be laughing inside. 461Well, go ahead, laugh. 462But get this, Kid. 463I'm a better gun than you. 464Or would you like to try? 465It's an interesting thought, but I'm afraid of you, Whitey. 466You ain't afraid of me. 467And in your feet, where your brains are, you think maybe you're just a bit faster. 468And you know something? 469It could be. 470Before you break up completely, you mind putting a name on this? 471It's just a little old wedge. 472But when you put it through the latch of a boxcar, you can't open the door from the inside. 473Now, you ask me, who would want to open the door of a boxcar from the inside? 474- Jeff Kurth and a dozen gunmen. 475- How would you know? 476I was sleeping up there when Concho told you. 477You better learn how to snore! 478You wouldn't know how to shoot a man in the back. 479I'll learn. 480What'll it be, gents? 481We got Old Grandpa, Old Grandma, Old Uncle Tom. 482- And Old Empty. 483- You ain't funny, Latigo. 484Who could be funny, sweating it out in here? 485Get away, boy. 486You're too young for whiskey even if we had plenty. 487Don't get fancy. 488You ain't talking to Joey. 489Speaking of Joey, you didn't happen to spot him along the trail, did you? 490I'll take a shot of that Old Flannelmouth. 491- Did you see him? 492- No. 493Did he leave any sign? 494A little. 495He was headed toward Junction City. 496But you didn't follow him? 497Joey always was a nuisance. 498I was for dropping him in the river. 499- Why didn't you? 500- And get my brains shot out? 501You've got to find a better reason to kill me. 502Suppose Concho didn't catch up with Joey in town and suppose the kid talked? 503- He won't talk. 504- Maybe not, but Concho ain't back. 505Unless he gets back, we won't know where they're carrying the money. 506That's right. 507Maybe it'd be smart to let this one go through. 508Why? 509We've grabbed three in a row. 510Let's give them a breather. 511That makes sense. 512I go along with Utica. 513You and me both. 514We ought to let this one go through. 515It ain't going through! 516Why not? 517You're the one who taught me about payrolls and now I like them. 518- So do I. 519- I'll buy that. 520A man can get saddle-sore looking for a bank to take. 521- I'm with Whitey. 522- Me too. 523What about you, Torgenson? 524I got no complaints. 525You call it, I'll play it. 526Looks like you've been outvoted. 527Or do you want a recount? 528- Right now, I'd rather have a drink. 529- Suit yourself. 530If I can't buy a fight, I'll buy a drink. 531Fill 'em up. 532Sorry, the bar is closed. 533On account of we're fresh out of whiskey. 534Either get this floor fixed or get a new bartender. 535When do we make the hit? 536Any time you're ready. 537She was halfway up the grade when I left. 538Why didn't you tell me? 539Why didn't you ask me? 540Funny man! 541Mount up! 542Settle down. 543It's only another job. 544But if you was boss, we wouldn't do it. 545If I was boss we wouldn't do it. 546You ain't boss! 547# So I bought myself a shovel and I bought myself a pick 548# And I laid a little track along the bullfrog crick 549# Then I built a locomotive out of 20 empty cans 550# And I tooted on the whistle and the darned thing ran 551# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad 552# You can't get far without a railroad 553# Something's gotta take you there and gotta bring you back 554# You can't go any distance in a buggy or a hack # 555Throw some ropes around them timbers. 556We'll pull it down. 557Torgenson! 558- OK, John. 559- Hurry it up, Jubilee! 560- Boy, they're pushing her fast today. 561- Yeah! 562Maybe they heard I needed a quick ten thousand. 563- That water tower your idea? 564- What's wrong with it? 565Any self-respecting Injun could walk away with it. 566Funny man! 567He knows everything about everything. 568Let's get down and lock the barn door. 569We've stopped! 570Whitey's making his hit! 571- McLaine sold us out! 572- No, Ben. 573They didn't learn it from Grant. 574Leary! 575- A hold-up! 576- They did it again! 577Stop your moaning and hold on to your hat! 578They won't stop old Tommy Shannon with a tank full of water. 579That's no way to treat railroad property, Mr Shannon. 580Take your hand off the throttle and reach for the brake! 581All right. 582Sit down and behave! 583Come over here. 584Open the safe! 585- Ha! 586- Move in! 587Same as last time! 588- We thought you were lost or drunk. 589- There ain't nothing in there. 590Jubilee! 591How are you making out? 592Try to talk your way out of this! 593- I'm sorry I missed out with Renner. 594- Never mind. 595Where's the money? 596- It's not in the safe. 597- Then where is it? 598It could be going to Junction City with Jeff's men. 599That's not true. 600Renner told us Jeff wouldn't carry the payroll! 601That's a help. 602Least we know who didn't carry it. 603Funny man! 604When you get through laughing, see what's in that red car. 605Sure. 606Glad to. 607As soon as I pick up my horse. 608He's worth more than anything I'm gonna find on this train. 609Get those pilgrims out. 610Maybe one of them is carrying it. 611Hit the other cars! 612See if you can find it. 613Outside! 614All of you! 615Is this what you wanted to tell me? 616Have a look inside, Latigo! 617If that's McLaine... 618No, Ben. 619Put it away. 620You may as well be comfortable. 621- Be my guest. 622- Gladly. 623Do you mind if I ask the name of my host? 624No, I don't mind. 625Would the payroll be in there? 626No. 627Why not take a look, just to be sure? 628Boy, is this stuff mellow. 629Bottled in bond too. 630- I forgot. 631Ladies is always first. 632- Thank you, no. 633See for yourself. 634Hello, Joey. 635What are you doing here? 636Getting robbed! 637Don't bother. 638None of them's got more than two dollars. 639Whitey! 640There ain't no payroll in there. 641How come you missed out? 642- I had a little trouble. 643- Now, ain't that too bad? 644- Maybe I ought to give you a little more. 645- Whitey! 646Kimball's back there with his wife. 647You just got lucky! 648Put them back in the car! 649Get aboard! 650Go on. 651Good little boys don't run away. 652This time you'll learn! 653- Where's the payroll? 654- The man says he doesn't know. 655I can help him remember. 656Take her outside. 657Take her outside yourself. 658I'm afraid of women. 659They scream and scratch, and sometimes step on your toes. 660Don't say no to me. 661Not when I got a gun in my hand. 662I won't. 663Unless I'm holding one too. 664- Outside. 665- If you want the payroll... 666You'll have to wait for the next work train. 667We decided not to send it through on this one. 668Oh? 669I don't mind waiting. 670I'll be at Pay Load. 671You can bring it to me. 672Then I'll take 12 hours' start, you get your wife back. 673See what happens when you don't carry your brains in your feet? 674I ought to make you walk. 675Jubilee, lead them out. 676Step up with Latigo. 677What about Joey? 678You gonna leave him here? 679He'll ride with me. 680Or would you like to? 681Settle down. 682We're getting $10,000 for the lady, remember? 683Which one do I ride with? 684Which one do you think? 685Take her to the end of track, Mr Shannon! 686Here's a stirrup. 687Give you a lift? 688I'll take that box. 689Don't crowd the cantle. 690You'll ride easier. 691Whoa, mules! 692Must have got tired of making the climb and started home. 693- Come on, boy! 694- Just a minute. 695There's a mining town near here. 696It used to be called Pay Load. 697It's still called Pay Load but nobody lives there. 698- It's over beyond that far hill. 699- Which hill? 700- You see the first hill? 701- Yes. 702See the second one? 703There's a third hill. 704Pay Load's behind that. 705- How much do you want for this mule? 706- $50. 707Flap Ears, when you unload this piker, you come on home to mother. 708- Get outta there! 709- Gah! 710Welshing on a bet! 711Never could understand them railroad people. 712Come on! 713Come on! 714- Mr Kimball. 715- Come over to the telegraph shack. 716- Before you pass. 717Did you bring the payroll? 718- Not now! 719- Did you bring it? 720- I didn't. 721- Now what? 722- The end of the railroad. 723- Shut up, Feeney. 724- Let go of me or I'll push this down your throat! 725Who wants your man? 726I don't want none of 'em! 727They're all broke! 728- See you in Denver. 729- I'm off to Denver too. 730- So am I! 731- Nobody goes without orders from Kimball! 732- I'm leaving. 733- You are not. 734You'll take no joyride in this town with them painted hussies. 735We've waited this long. 736Another night won't hurt us. 737But if the money's not here in the morning, out we go! 738Get back to work! 739We're beat, Mr Kimball. 740Without the pay, the gang will go to Junction City. 741- I know. 742- Any word from Jeff? 743He's in Junction City. 744Says the car held to the grade all the way. 745He and his men will be after Whitey in... 746They will not! 747Tell him to stay right where he is until further orders. 748Yes, sir. 749Wonder if he thinks that's private property. 750If he tries to divide that like he cuts up the loot, there's gonna be shooting. 751- Your laundry? 752- Sandwiches. 753Do you want one? 754No. 755Where did you get them? 756Junction City. 757A girl in a restaurant gave them to me. 758- Was she pretty? 759- Mm-hm. 760- Think you could get me a date? 761- She's not that kind of a girl. 762Any of you boys win enough to buy a drink? 763- You ain't got a drink. 764- I got a drink. 765- I thought you was fresh out. 766- I was till we made the hit. 767While you looked for the payroll that wasn't there, I had important business. 768Come on, fill her up. 769Latigo ought to be running this bunch. 770We might not eat, but we'd sure drink. 771Ha ha! 772You're a funny man. 773Why don't you laugh? 774- Am I supposed to? 775- Not if you're smart. 776- I think you're smart. 777- And what else do you think? 778That you made a mistake. 779She'll only bring you trouble and guns. 780Since when is $10,000 trouble? 781That's exactly what you're worth. 782You're very flattering. 783But I'm inclined to agree with you. 784Don't make a habit of it. 785Latigo, I want a drink! 786And you've got a few habits I don't like either. 787Settle down. 788Do you see what she's up to? 789I can see you. 790And what I see I don't like too good. 791- I guess you could use one. 792- Thank you, no. 793- It's the best. 794I got it off your own bar. 795- You drink it. 796Sorry, lady, I don't drink. 797I'm studying to be a bartender. 798- Don't you drink? 799- Not alone. 800Suppose I join you? 801- Do you mind? 802- And if I do? 803Don't push it. 804For a little while you're gonna need me and I'm gonna need you. 805I watched you walk. 806I could swear we've met before. 807Could you? 808Funny little things you do. 809Like when you smile. 810Strange. 811I seem to recognise all your mannerisms, if you know what that means. 812- I know what that means. 813- Do you? 814I'm supposed to fight Whitey over you. 815With a little luck we'd kill each other. 816- It's an interesting thought. 817- What's interesting? 818- She is. 819- You're so right. 820I may not send you back. 821Not until you've helped me spend the ten thousand. 822- You mind if we join the party? 823- Yes! 824You shouldn't, cos if you guess wrong you ain't gonna hang alone. 825You like another drink? 826- Thanks, I still have this one. 827- Drink them both. 828Anybody want to start the dance? 829With only one girl? 830Get back to the bar where you belong. 831Let's all get back to the bar, where we belong. 832- You almost got your wish. 833- One of them. 834- The other? 835- To know your name. 836His name? 837He's the Utica Kid. 838I don't like it either. 839My family used to call me Lee. 840Why don't you? 841You're supposed to be outside. 842Come out with your hands up. 843- What are you doing here? 844- I want to see the Utica Kid. 845- Who are you? 846- A friend of his. 847Funny thing, he never told me about no girlfriend. 848Is there any reason why he should? 849- What's your name? 850- Charlie Drew. 851And you can put that gun away. 852Or do I look dangerous? 853Not exactly. 854Give me that rope. 855- When'd you get here? 856- Just before they rode in. 857Utica pulled the job off right on schedule. 858I suppose you've known it was going to happen for quite some time. 859No, I haven't. 860Utica doesn't talk to me about jobs. 861Not this kind. 862- Did he ever have any other kind? 863- He will have. 864Soon. 865Then why don't you hold out? 866Why don't you keep away till he stops being a thief? 867I told him that's what I'd do. 868He just looked at me and smiled. 869He said, "I wonder if you can." 870Tonight he has his answer. 871You're here. 872Yes, but only to tell him that you're... 873Only to tell him I'm in town and might come looking for him. 874I want to keep him alive. 875I want to keep you alive. 876- You know what he can do with a gun. 877- I know. 878- Well, then, why? 879- Because of a little thing called self-respect. 880Maybe you wouldn't understand anything about that. 881For five years I've played that thing for nickels and dimes thrown into a hat. 882For five years the Utica Kid has been laughing. 883I may have been wrong, Charlie, but I'm not gonna make the same mistake twice. 884Grant... 885When you see him will you tell him that I'm here? 886Leave it alone! 887So all she'll bring is trouble and guns, huh? 888Did you bring the money with you? 889No. 890- How soon do we get it? 891- I wouldn't know about that. 892You should! 893$10,000 is a lot of money. 894And that's what he wants for me. 895Well, I'd say he was selling out cheap. 896Never mind what you'd say. 897What did Kimball say? 898If you don't know about the money, why did he send you? 899He didn't send me. 900I came on my own. 901Why? 902- Ask him. 903- Well? 904I wouldn't know. 905Then again, maybe I would. 906You were right the first time. 907I can walk quiet at night and I'm a pretty good gun. 908I'd like to join up with you. 909You see, when a man gets fired off the railroad, he has a little trouble finding a job. 910And when he can't find a job, he gets hungry. 911I've been hungry for the last five years. 912Haven't I? 913- How would he know? 914- I'm his brother. 915- His brother? 916- His younger brother. 917Five years ago he was a troubleshooter for Kimball. 918I lifted the feed herd and he came after me. 919Then gave you a horse to get away. 920But not until I'd heard all about good and evil. 921I didn't buy what he had to sell then. 922I'm not buying it now. 923- So you don't want him in, huh? 924- No. 925Funny thing. 926I want him in. 927- Any objections? 928- It ain't that simple, Whitey. 929There's a personal deal between me and him. 930- About what? 931- He got in my way. 932That's right. 933Oh, yeah, I remember you. 934You're the man that fights kids. 935Which way do you want it? 936Get up, come on, get up! 937Now one of you give him his gun. 938All right, Harbin, you're the boss around here. 939You call it. 940I might just do that. 941Well, I ain't gonna take him alone. 942Then maybe you'd better move along. 943Any further objections? 944- Yeah. 945- Now ain't that wonderful? 946- I'd be happy to call it. 947- You may get the chance. 948You mind if the Utica Kid and me have a little talk? 949Not at all. 950Call me when you're ready. 951I think you ought to know I'm working for the railroad again. 952I figured as much. 953- Troubleshooter? 954- Tonight I was carrying the payroll. 955- Where did you hide it? 956- I gave it to the boy. 957It's in that shoe box. 958Now all you have to do is go in and tell Whitey. 959You're gambling I won't? 960- Same old story of good and evil. 961- Same old story. 962You lose, Grant. 963Yeah, I kind of figured that when you laughed. 964I'll give you the same break you gave me. 965Ten-minute start, then I tell Whitey I sent you away. 966I go, that money goes with me. 967So does Kimball's wife. 968- No. 969- Wait a minute, Lee. 970Hear me out on this. 971If I leave here, that boy goes with me too. 972Joey? 973Why do you want him? 974Maybe for the good of his soul. 975It's been a long time since you heard that word, hasn't it? 976Mother and Dad used to bring it up once in a while when we were kids. 977You were just about Joey's age. 978He thinks a lot of you, doesn't he? 979- He wants to grow up to be just like you. 980- He may make it, with practice. 981Soon he'll be holding the horses while you and Whitey hit a bank. 982There's another kid lying in the barn. 983He got the start that way too, huh? 984- You didn't kill Howdy? 985- I didn't hurt him. 986- And you're not going to hurt Joey. 987- How could I do that? 988It's not hard. 989It's not hard. 990Not when he takes your road. 991Or haven't you stopped to look at it? 992Why bother? 993I picked it, I'll ride it. 994Lee, I'm asking you again. 995Give Joey a chance. 996No. 997You've got ten minutes. 998I won't need them. 999Charlie's in there waiting for you. 1000Think about her. 1001She's been following you for five years too. 1002She's got a reason. 1003Or didn't I tell you I'm gonna marry her? 1004How much of that did you hear? 1005Just what I wanted to hear. 1006That you're gonna marry me. 1007When? 1008We're gonna have a lot of money, Charlie. 1009$10,000. 1010You can have pretty new dresses and pretty new shoes. 1011And a brand-new husband. 1012- Tomorrow. 1013- No. 1014Right now! 1015If you want me, take me away right now. 1016Please, please take me. 1017Why the sudden hurry? 1018Has my big brother been telling you the story of good and evil? 1019Don't laugh at him. 1020Why not? 1021Why mustn't I laugh at him? 1022Maybe it would be better if... if you tried to be a little more like him. 1023Now isn't that just great? 1024Now I get it from you! 1025Ever since I was a kid that's all I can remember. 1026"Why don't you be more like your brother? 1027Why can't you be more like Grant?" 1028I don't want to be like him. 1029I don't want any part of him. 1030- That's not true. 1031- Yeah, it's true! 1032You don't know what it's like to be the kid brother. 1033Everything you do is wrong. 1034Everything you try. 1035Until one day I tried a gun. 1036Fit my hand real good. 1037And I wasn't the kid brother any more. 1038It's a good gun. 1039It's gonna get us everything we always wanted. 1040But I don't want it. 1041Not that way. 1042Why must you steal? 1043Because I like to steal. 1044I like to see what people will do when I take it away from them. 1045What happens when something is taken away from you? 1046Nobody's gonna take anything away from me. 1047Charlie, I'm asking you to marry me. 1048No. 1049Grant was right. 1050You'll never change. 1051And he calls me a thief? 1052Joey. 1053Go on. 1054Play some more. 1055It's been a long time since I heard an accordion. 1056Any tune in particular? 1057Or would this do? 1058# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad 1059# You can't get far without a railroad 1060# You gotta have an engine and you gotta have a track 1061# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad 1062# There are tracks across the prairie 1063# Where the buzzard builds his nest 1064# There are tracks across the Rockies 1065# To the Golden West # 1066How does it go from there? 1067How does it go from there, Lee? 1068Everybody will be neighbours 1069In this little dream of mine 1070Take you clear across the country 1071On the Bullfrog Line 1072# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad 1073- # You can't get far without a railroad # 1074- Gentlemen! 1075- Renner! 1076- Didn't you know he was working for me? 1077- I've come for my thousand dollars. 1078- What thousand dollars? 1079Your memory is quite short. 1080I supplied you with information about a certain boxcar. 1081I was prepared to supply you with information about the payroll. 1082- Concho did not keep the appointment. 1083- So? 1084So ten per cent of the payroll is mine. 1085Sorry to disappoint you but we missed the payroll. 1086Missed the payroll? 1087In that case I'm prepared to make a better deal. 1088For $2,000, I can tell you where the money is. 1089You made a deal. 1090Ben Kimball hired a man to carry it. 1091I might never have located this place if I hadn't heard that man's accordion. 1092He has the money. 1093Ask him! 1094Joey! 1095Come here, Joey! 1096Grant! 1097McLaine, there's a woman with you! 1098- That's right. 1099- Send her out before we come get you. 1100Here, hurry! 1101Come on, Charlie. 1102He's in the clear. 1103He's riding away. 1104Yeah, he's riding. 1105After me. 1106- What are we stopping for? 1107- We're going to the mill, the short way. 1108Get down to the mill! 1109Come on! 1110Take cover! 1111Here. 1112There's a mine shaft at the end of these cables. 1113It runs clear through the mountains. 1114On the other side, about half a mile, is the railroad! 1115It's two hours to the end of track. 1116I have to send you out one at a time. 1117Come on, Verna. 1118- Tell Ben he'll get his payroll somehow. 1119- I'll tell him more than that. 1120You'll get that money even if you had to kill your own brother? 1121The next ore bucket that comes down, pull it around and jump in. 1122I'll cover for you. 1123It's clear, Charlie. 1124Get out! 1125See if you can reach him from over there. 1126He can't stand them off, not alone. 1127You figuring to help? 1128Grant! 1129Look out! 1130He's real good. 1131Only one better gun in Colorado. 1132Charlie! 1133Get over here! 1134- I thought I told you to get out. 1135- I'm staying right here. 1136All right. 1137Now you get back inside and I'll cover for you. 1138Thanks, Charlie. 1139Lee, not the kid! 1140You take care of the kid. 1141I'll see if I can keep them pinned down. 1142Would you mind if I play big brother just this one time? 1143- Shoots high. 1144- You or the gun? 1145- Joey all right? 1146- He's all right. 1147That makes you a winner. 1148Go ahead and make a sucker out of the kid. 1149Tell him all about good and evil. 1150Put him to work on the railroad. 1151Things get tough, he can always play the accordion for nickels and dimes. 1152Sounds like old times, Lee. 1153Welcome home. 1154Don't give me that big brother grin. 1155- Up there! 1156- Get him! 1157I count mine. 1158There's one left. 1159He hit you hard, Lee. 1160Not half as hard as you did with that Bullfrog Line. 1161That was Dad's favourite tune and you know it. 1162I know it. 1163You and your stinking accordion! 1164Charlie. 1165Charlie? 1166You and Joey get the horses. 1167What...? 1168I'll take care of my brother. 1169Here's your money. 1170Pay 'em off, Tim. 1171Thank you, Grant. 1172Looks like you won yourself a job. 1173Mine. 1174No, it won't fit. 1175Not nearly as well as your coat. 1176Want your old job back? 1177Thanks. 1178All right, Joey. 1179Get a bucket and start carrying water. 1180We're at end of track. 1181Now go on. 1182# Sometimes I feel like I could jump over the moon 1183# And tell the sky above 1184# Does it matter how full the moon 1185# When you've an empty heart 1186# Follow the river 1187# Wherever you may be 1188# Follow the river back to me 1189# Follow the river 1190# The river knows the way 1191# Come to me, I pray 1192# I miss you more each day 1193# Follow the river 1194# Wherever you may be 1195# Follow the river back to me 1196# Sometimes I feel like I could jump over the moon 1197# And tell the sky above 1198# Does it matter how full the moon 1199# When you've an empty heart 1200# Bring back the great love 1201# The love that once we knew 1202# Make my dreams come true 1203# The dream I had with you 1204# Follow the river 1205# Wherever you may be 1206# Follow the river back to me 1207# Follow the river 1208# Wherever you may be 1209# Follow the river back to me # 1210(Man) I'd better get back to work. 1211Don't lose all your matches. 1212- Hello, Mac. 1213- Hi, Click. 1214Howdy, folks. 1215- Hi. 1216- Hello. 1217Welcome home, man. 1218Come sit down and give us a tune. 1219- We'll pay you with promises. 1220- A man can't eat promises. 1221He can't lose them at cards either. 1222McLaine! 1223- No, indeed he can't. 1224- Where have you been and why? 1225They were laying track in Wyoming. 1226Needed a troubleshooter. 1227- Didn't need me. 1228- That's too bad. 1229You can pick up a few nickels and dimes playing your accordion. 1230That's right, Tim. 1231What's this? 1232Playing cards with matches? 1233When's payday? 1234Tomorrow, if they get the money past Whitey Harbin. 1235Which they won't. 1236He's tapped that pay train three times up. 1237They'll get it past him or get no more steel before snow. 1238- O'Brien, shut your mouth! 1239- My sentiments exactly. 1240Day shift and night shift, night shift and day shift. 1241No money in a month. 1242My patience is ended. 1243So is their railroad. 1244Am I right? 1245- You are right! 1246- McLaine. 1247Please play me a peaceful tune or I'll have a revolution on my hands. 1248I see what you mean. 1249Are they giving you trouble? 1250Lucky you're not with the railroad. 1251Tis a weary man you'd be today if you were troubleshooting for us. 1252Could be you're right, Tim. 1253(# Folk tune) 1254Come on, pretty lady. 1255Give us a dance! 1256I dare you, Mr Feeney. 1257Where's the wife? 1258Come on! 1259Big Ed, are you through to Junction City? 1260This is for Kimball. 1261As per your instructions, this is to advise you that Grant McLaine is here at end of track. 1262You don't need that last. 1263Just say he's here. 1264Get away from him! 1265Get away from him! 1266Dancing, is it? 1267Let me... 1268Get back into your tent where you belong, you painted women. 1269You and your railroad. 1270Bringing the likes of this among decent folk. 1271For two cents I'd take me old man back to Junction City and be through with you. 1272If you had two cents! 1273They're at it again. 1274You can't mix wives and women, even to build a railroad. 1275Stop this shilly-shally music and give me a jig I can dance to. 1276Give us a jig, I said. 1277You watch your feet. 1278They're heavy. 1279And so is my fist. 1280Do I get a jig or do you lose your teeth? 1281Not now, Mac, not now. 1282He's not bad. 1283He's just a fool. 1284Consider yourself lucky. 1285Five years ago you'd have got a bullet between the eyes. 1286I've seen him kill men that could eat you without salt. 1287Play what you please. 1288(# Lively jig) 1289- You asked for a jig, now dance to it! 1290- Here I go, Feeney! 1291Hee-hee! 1292Up Garryowen! 1293# I was farming in Missouri I was getting tired of that 1294# So I bought myself a satchel and a stovepipe hat 1295# And I headed for the station gonna travel all about 1296# But there wasn't any station and I soon found out 1297# That you can't get far without a railroad 1298# You can't get far without a railroad 1299# Something's gotta take you there and gotta bring you back 1300# Oh, you can't go any distance in a buggy or a hack 1301# You can't get far without a railroad 1302# You can't get far without a railroad 1303# You gotta have an engine and you gotta have a track 1304# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad # 1305I haven't heard that one. 1306Where does it come from? 1307Dad used to play it when it got too rough around the house. 1308Pretty soon us kids would stop fighting and start dancing. 1309The man makes fine music. 1310Are we gonna let them use it all up? 1311Go on with you! 1312Clarence Feeney, stop looking at them painted hussies and give your wife a dance. 1313- Go away, woman, I'm tired. 1314- Tired, is it? 1315This is my day for dancing or fighting. 1316Which will you have? 1317Darling. 1318Nice work. 1319I'll give you five dollars tomorrow. 1320If Whitey lets the pay train through. 1321Three times is enough. 1322He won't hit it again. 1323Oh, don't bet on it. 1324He's a strange man, this Whitey Harbin. 1325He's got the big boss plenty worried. 1326Speaking of Kimball, he wants to see you. 1327- How would he know where I am? 1328- I told him. 1329Here. 1330You read it. 1331I'm afraid if I stop the music, Mrs Feeney'll hit me with something. 1332"Report to me at once in Junction City. 1333Urgent. 1334Ben Kimball." 1335- Maybe he'll give you... 1336- Another chance? 1337No. 1338That's not his way. 1339- But you will see him? 1340- Not till they've finished their dance. 1341- You old hag, I'll... 1342- Painted hussy! 1343(Groaning) 1344Let go of me! 1345Let go! 1346Let her go, I said! 1347(Woman screams) 1348(Groaning) 1349(Stops playing) 1350(Shouting) 1351(Screaming) 1352- Hold this. 1353- Right. 1354And this is the tune your father used to play to keep peace in the house? 1355I must have squeezed out a few wrong notes. 1356Yeah. 1357- Thanks, Tim. 1358- Goodbye, Mac. 1359(Woman screeches) 1360- Too late for coffee, mister? 1361- (Woman) Howdy. 1362I think there's a few warm dregs left. 1363- Oh. 1364Howdy, ma'am. 1365- Step down. 1366Much obliged. 1367- They keeping you busy? 1368- Yep. 1369Packing out the ore and packing in the vittles. 1370Them miners can eat more beans than they raise in all of Boston. 1371- Now they want me to bring in a mill. 1372- All at once? 1373No, just a few pieces at a time. 1374They got tired of waiting for the railroad to reach them. 1375Between you and me, I don't think it will before snow. 1376You're hoping it won't? 1377- First I was. 1378- Uh-huh. 1379Figured it'd put me out of business. 1380It won't. 1381- It won't? 1382- No. 1383It's a funny thing about gold. 1384There's always some jackass will find it where the railroad ain't. 1385Then he'll send for me and a few more jackasses to bring in his grub and pack out his ore! 1386Them crazy miners! 1387Look at the waste of that good machinery. 1388Two miles of cable and buckets to go with it. 1389Last week they up and left the whole thing! 1390Did the vein pinch out or did they hit low grade? 1391They didn't hit nothing but blue sky. 1392Uh-huh. 1393- This was mighty fine coffee, Mrs... 1394- Miss Vittles. 1395Miss Vittles. 1396I sure appreciate it. 1397- I got a long ride ahead of me. 1398- You heading for Junction City too? 1399Yes, ma'am. 1400But I'm kind of in a hurry. 1401I ain't looking for company. 1402Ten jackasses in a bunch is enough. 1403- I can save you a trip round the mountain. 1404- How's that? 1405Like I told you, the boys hit a good vein, followed it through the mountain. 1406Last week they busted out on the far side and there wasn't nothing there but blue sky. 1407Makes a mighty fine short cut into town. 1408- It sure does. 1409- Still think I'm crazy? 1410- I think you're real pretty. 1411- Ah! 1412- You going to spend time in these hills? 1413- Yes, ma'am. 1414When snow comes you're gonna need a woman. 1415Or a warm coat, else you'll freeze your knees. 1416Well, I can't rightly afford a warm coat. 1417So long, Miss Vittles. 1418People wonder what a calf feels when he gets roped. 1419Now you can tell 'em. 1420What for are you mixing in? 1421Maybe I don't like to see kids get hurt. 1422Break any bones, son? 1423He's got a knife behind his collar! 1424- There's a stirrup. 1425You want a lift? 1426- No. 1427- Why not? 1428- I'm beholden to you, mister. 1429Couldn't we just leave it that way? 1430- Morning. 1431- Morning. 1432- Put him up? 1433- For how long? 1434- I wouldn't know. 1435- It'll be two bits for oats. 1436- Ain't I seen you before? 1437- Depends on where you've been. 1438- I follow the railroad, mostly. 1439- Could be you've seen me. 1440- It'll be four bits if he stays the night. 1441- Fair enough. 1442Morning. 1443Did a man ride in today - tall, sort of heavyset? 1444- You mean him, Mr Renner? 1445- Not him. 1446This one had a scar. 1447Along his cheek? 1448No, sir. 1449I don't see no man with a scar. 1450I guess maybe I can have some apple pie and coffee. 1451I guess you could have eggs with bacon if you wanted eggs with bacon. 1452- Hello, Charlie. 1453- Hello, Grant. 1454It's good to see you, Charlie. 1455It's awful good to see you. 1456It's good to see you too. 1457- I'll get the eggs. 1458- No, get the pie. 1459I can pay for the pie. 1460You're a very stubborn man. 1461Apple pie is not for breakfast. 1462It is if you like apple pie. 1463Now I need a fork. 1464- Working here long? 1465- About three weeks. 1466How's the Utica Kid? 1467He was well... when I saw him last. 1468When was that? 1469- Good morning. 1470- Morning. 1471Well, business is early and Pete is late. 1472The lunches. 1473Are they fixed? 1474Why do I ask? 1475The lunches are always fixed. 1476Why? 1477Because you fix them. 1478Charlie, I'll make you an omelette like only Pete can make an omelette. 1479Very bad. 1480Come on around, sit down, have a cup of coffee. 1481Pete had that place in Santa Fe, remember? 1482Are you running a shoe store on the side? 1483Those are box lunches for the work train. 1484Money, money, money. 1485Pete knows how to make it. 1486He follows the railroad. 1487I guess a lot of people follow the railroad. 1488You and Pete. 1489The Utica Kid. 1490I asked when you saw him last. 1491They've lost three payrolls. 1492Now when did you see him last? 1493- Charlie, where did I put my apron? 1494- It's under here. 1495You must be nice fella. 1496If Charlie sits with you, you must be nice fella. 1497I make omelette for you too. 1498We were talking about the Utica Kid. 1499He can wait. 1500Ben Kimball's in town. 1501They put his car on the siding yesterday. 1502- I know. 1503- His wife is with him. 1504Is she? 1505I often wondered what Verna was like. 1506I saw her last night. 1507All fine silk and feathers. 1508She's soft and beautiful. 1509And I can understand now. 1510Can you? 1511How long are you gonna be in town? 1512- That depends on Ben Kimball. 1513- You working for the railroad again? 1514- If I am? 1515- That would be good. 1516Playing the accordion's not for you, not for a living. 1517You belong to the railroad and it belongs to you. 1518There were a lot of things that used to belong to me and somehow I lost them. 1519(Pete) Two omelettes a-comin' up. 1520- Do you like eggs? 1521- No. 1522That's too bad. 1523You got an omelette coming up. 1524Well, somebody's gotta eat them. 1525Come on. 1526That means you. 1527- Could you put it in a box? 1528- An omelette? 1529I'll be hungrier when I get to end of track. 1530Maybe it will go down easy. 1531Easy or not, it goes down right now. 1532I can't pay for it. 1533Then you can help me sell lunches at the station. 1534Any more arguments? 1535(Train rattling) 1536(Train whistle) 1537(Knocking) 1538Come in. 1539- You want to see me, Ben? 1540- I certainly do. 1541Hello, Grant. 1542Sit down. 1543All right, Jeff. 1544Renner, go to Pete's and get one breakfast and a jug of coffee. 1545- You haven't eaten yet? 1546- I've eaten. 1547Just get coffee. 1548Hot. 1549- How's everything been going? 1550- I make a living. 1551- Playing an accordion? 1552- That's right. 1553Want me to play a tune for you? 1554There's other jobs besides railroading. 1555Well, Colorado may be big in miles. 1556It's kinda short on people. 1557So when a man gets fired the way I was fired the story gets around. 1558Well, I'm... 1559I'm sorry. 1560- No, I like to make music. 1561- And it keeps you near the railroad. 1562If someone needs information about a payroll, you can sell it. 1563You know it's a funny thing. 1564I don't like you either. 1565- Is that why you sent for me? 1566- No. 1567And keep out of this. 1568Have it your way. 1569But I don't trust him now any more than I did when I sent him after the Utica Kid. 1570I sent you after a thief and you gave him a horse to get away on. 1571- I told you to keep shut. 1572- Let him talk. 1573I'm not wearing a gun. 1574I'll be honest with you. 1575He'd talk the same if I was. 1576- It's been nice seeing you. 1577- (Woman) Grant. 1578I'm sure Jeff didn't mean to be rude. 1579Sometimes he has a blunt way of putting things. 1580Unfortunately, Ben isn't much better. 1581It's not unfortunate. 1582It just gets things said in a hurry. 1583Too much of a hurry. 1584They forgot to ask you if you'd work for the railroad again. 1585Would you? 1586Yes, I would. 1587Not to give you a short answer. 1588- It's the answer I wanted. 1589- Sit down, Grant. 1590Do you remember Whitey Harbin? 1591Used to work down in Arizona and New Mexico. 1592- Yeah. 1593- Well, he's moved into Colorado. 1594I thought he favoured stage lines and banks. 1595So did we. 1596But he's learned about railroad payrolls 1597- and he's grabbed three in a row. 1598- Where do I fit in? 1599They're making up a supply train in the yard. 1600I want you to ride it. 1601- With $10,000 in your pocket. 1602- Why me? 1603Quite frankly, because no one would suspect you of carrying a payroll. 1604I sure don't look like $10,000, do I? 1605Are you building a bridge you don't need? 1606The money's here. 1607Why not bring the men in on Saturday and pay them off in town? 1608And lose half the crew? 1609Turn them loose in a mining town, they'll go up the hills looking for gold. 1610It won't work. 1611And we have to finish this section before snow comes. 1612That's a pretty big gamble on a man who gave his horse to a thief! 1613Yes. 1614You might as well know the deck's stacked against you. 1615A boxcar will be hooked to the train. 1616I'll be one of the men in it. 1617- When did this happen? 1618- Last week. 1619- Renner, did you know? 1620- Yes. 1621- Why didn't you tell me? 1622- I told him not to. 1623- Why? 1624- Everything we plan gets back to Whitey. 1625- You think I'd tell him? 1626- You might trust the wrong people. 1627- If he takes the job, I'm sure of it. 1628- And if I don't take it? 1629Then Jeff will be sitting in Ben's chair. 1630Oh, I wouldn't like that. 1631Uh-uh. 1632So I'll take the job on one condition. 1633If I make the delivery I get his job. 1634You made a deal. 1635Thank you. 1636Wait a minute. 1637It's getting cold up in the hills. 1638This coat has always been too long for me. 1639Thanks. 1640Well. 1641I thought you didn't like him. 1642He said that. 1643I said I didn't trust him. 1644And I still don't. 1645(Verna) Grant. 1646Are you surprised Ben sent for you? 1647I was until I talked to him. 1648He seems to have changed. 1649You're right. 1650He doesn't belong in a private car with clerks, figures and pressure from the office. 1651He belongs at the end of track, running a gang and building a railroad. 1652- He's a working stiff like you. 1653- Yes, but he can dream a little too. 1654Colorado wouldn't have a railroad if he hadn't sold them on the idea. 1655For his sake, I wish he hadn't. 1656He was happy at end of track but they kicked him upstairs and sent us to Chicago. 1657- And now he needs a little help. 1658- That's why he sent for you. 1659Oh, I may have had something to do with it. 1660Why? 1661There was a time when you were interested in me. 1662I was more than interested in you. 1663I wanted to marry you. 1664Times when I'm sorry you didn't. 1665Aren't you? 1666No. 1667A man likes to know his woman will back him when he's down and you didn't. 1668Ben called me a thief and you went right along with him. 1669It's as simple as that. 1670Grant. 1671For old times' sake. 1672For old times' sake? 1673Just that and nothing more? 1674Perhaps just a little more. 1675We want to be sure that payroll goes through, don't we? 1676I don't know. 1677Maybe Jeff is right. 1678His type seldom changes. 1679And if we've made a mistake, it's the finish of everything. 1680Then why not cut this car into the supply train? 1681If we're all playing showdown, I'd like to see the cards when they fall. 1682- Thank you. 1683I hope you have a nice trip. 1684- Thank you. 1685(Train whistle) 1686- Ma'am, is that all? 1687- Mm-hm. 1688- Here's your lunch. 1689You've earned it. 1690- Thanks. 1691- Mister, are you going to end of track? 1692- Yes. 1693Could you stake me to a ticket? 1694I can ride half fare if I'm with an adult. 1695- And you're an adult. 1696- Well, sometimes I wonder. 1697All right. 1698You can come along. 1699We'll ride with the other fellas with no money. 1700- On the flatcar? 1701- Go on. 1702Climb aboard. 1703Plenty of fresh air. 1704Do you good, make you grow. 1705(Clunking) 1706(Train whistle) 1707Are you sure he didn't come while I was away? 1708Ain't nobody been here but the man riding the sorrel. 1709- What colour horse your man riding? 1710- How should I know? 1711It's extremely important that I see him. 1712They've cut in Mr Kimball's car. 1713Barley! 1714A man told you to put his horse up... 1715Don't start that too. 1716That there sorrel is the only horse what come in. 1717That there sorrel is the horse I want. 1718He belongs to my friend Grant McLaine. 1719McLaine? 1720That's who it is. 1721I knew him as a troubleshooter in Santa Fe before he went bad. 1722- He didn't go bad. 1723- What'll you do with his horse? 1724- Ride him! 1725I'll change, you saddle him. 1726- All right. 1727(Train chugging) 1728(Train whistle) 1729Hey, Pilgrim! 1730Come here! 1731Don't go getting your liver all upset. 1732- Once you miss 'em, they stay missed. 1733- It's none of your business. 1734- Could be. 1735You wanting to get on that car? 1736- If I am? 1737- I can take you to where it's going. 1738- On one of these? 1739They'll get you to end of track before the train does. 1740- That's ridiculous. 1741- $100 aging yours I'm right. 1742- You've got a bet. 1743- And you got stuck. 1744Here. 1745I'll let you ride Flap Ears. 1746- You can smoke inside, mister. 1747- I can smoke where I want. 1748You can burn too if it pleases you but it'll still cost you four bits. 1749- For what? 1750- Travelling first-class. 1751Otherwise ride the flats. 1752(Discordant notes) 1753- You play that? 1754- Yeah, I play it. 1755- When? 1756- When? 1757Whenever somebody throws a dime in my hat. 1758- I ain't got a dime. 1759- This one's on me. 1760(# Folk tune) 1761- Been up here before? 1762- Part way. 1763- What takes you to end of track? 1764- A job. 1765Figured I'd get one at Junction City. 1766They told me the foremen do the hiring. 1767You're a little small for swinging a sledge. 1768- I can carry water. 1769- Yeah, you can carry water. 1770- Very important job. 1771- (Man) Hey! 1772- What are you doing here? 1773- He's with me, Pick. 1774- Where did you get him? 1775- Somebody threw him away. 1776Don't you throw him away. 1777He'll get lost in the mountains. 1778Who tells the men who build railroads how to get through the mountains? 1779- The river. 1780- Huh? 1781They just follow the river. 1782- Who told you that? 1783- I guess my dad was the first. 1784He had a little song about it. 1785# Follow the river 1786# The river knows the way 1787# Hearts can go astray 1788# It happens every day 1789# Follow the river 1790# Wherever you may be 1791# Follow the river back to me # 1792Wouldn't you wanna be knowing about Concho? 1793- Who's Concho? 1794- The man you roped. 1795Do you wanna know? 1796Not unless you wanna tell me. 1797I ought to tell you. 1798He's fast with a gun. 1799Only know two men who are faster. 1800Which two men would they be? 1801Whitey Harbin for one. 1802I run away from Whitey. 1803That's why Concho was after me. 1804You're one of Whitey's men? 1805No. 1806I was in Montrose. 1807Whitey and his bunch were robbing a bank. 1808I was just in the road watching. 1809Whitey was all for killing me but the other fellow wouldn't let him. 1810He swung me up into the saddle and said, 1811"You ain't killing a kid. 1812Not while I ride with you." 1813- Whitey, he backed down. 1814- Cos the fella's faster with a gun? 1815Like lightning. 1816This other fella, does he have a name? 1817He's got a name. 1818The Utica Kid. 1819I'd have stayed with the bunch if he was boss. 1820- But he's not? 1821- Not yet. 1822Always he's shoving pins into Whitey, laughing at him, driving him crazy. 1823Even crazier than he is! 1824Someday Whitey will crack and he'll lose. 1825(Train whistle) 1826Is this the fresh air you were talking about? 1827How come them fellas can ride inside? 1828Well, it's the old story of good and evil. 1829If you spend all your money on whiskey, you have none left for a ticket. 1830Don't drink. 1831Then you'd have six bits when you need it. 1832That's very true. 1833Tell you what, maybe I have six bits. 1834Yeah. 1835What do you say we go in and spend it? 1836Come on. 1837Guess I wasn't tough enough to follow the river that way. 1838Sometimes it isn't easy travelling upstream. 1839- That will be a dollar. 1840- That'll be six bits. 1841I'm the adult. 1842Here. 1843Hold on to that. 1844- Don't worry about Concho. 1845- You would if... 1846Oh, no, come on. 1847Sit down. 1848We can both worry together if you want to tell me about it. 1849- It's nothing. 1850- And if it was, you'd rather not say. 1851All right. 1852I broke with Whitey. 1853Doesn't mean I have to talk. 1854No, you don't have to talk. 1855I even broke with the Utica Kid. 1856- Hi, Utica. 1857- Put him away, Howdy. 1858Sure. 1859Come on. 1860It's a pretty good rig. 1861Too good for the guy that owned it. 1862Remember that draw you taught me? 1863It worked. 1864He went down with his gun in the leather. 1865- And now you're an "in case" man. 1866- In case? 1867Yeah. 1868In case you miss six times with one, you draw the other. 1869- If you have time. 1870- I'll have time. 1871Call it. 1872Draw! 1873You better learn to draw that one before you fool around with the other. 1874(Clanking) 1875(Horse whinnies) 1876About three inches high, Whitey. 1877You better take another look at that skull. 1878Next time it could be yours. 1879Don't soft-foot up behind me! 1880It makes me nervous! 1881So I notice. 1882What else did you notice? 1883Did you see Concho? 1884- Did you see him? 1885- He wasn't on the trail. 1886Did I ask you where he wasn't? 1887I asked you did you see him? 1888- I would've said so. 1889- Not straight out you wouldn't. 1890Because you're a funny man. 1891You've always gotta be laughing inside. 1892Well, go ahead, laugh. 1893But get this, Kid. 1894I'm a better gun than you. 1895Or would you like to try? 1896It's an interesting thought, but I'm afraid of you, Whitey. 1897(Laughs) You ain't afraid of me. 1898And in your feet, where your brains are, you think maybe you're just a bit faster. 1899And you know something? 1900(Laughs) It could be. 1901Before you break up completely, you mind putting a name on this? 1902It's just a little old wedge. 1903But when you put it through the latch of a boxcar, you can't open the door from the inside. 1904Now, you ask me, who would want to open the door of a boxcar from the inside? 1905- Jeff Kurth and a dozen gunmen. 1906- How would you know? 1907I was sleeping up there when Concho told you. 1908You better learn how to snore! 1909You wouldn't know how to shoot a man in the back. 1910I'll learn. 1911What'll it be, gents? 1912We got Old Grandpa, Old Grandma, Old Uncle Tom. 1913- And Old Empty. 1914- You ain't funny, Latigo. 1915Who could be funny, sweating it out in here? 1916Get away, boy. 1917You're too young for whiskey even if we had plenty. 1918Don't get fancy. 1919You ain't talking to Joey. 1920Speaking of Joey, you didn't happen to spot him along the trail, did you? 1921I'll take a shot of that Old Flannelmouth. 1922- Did you see him? 1923- No. 1924Did he leave any sign? 1925A little. 1926He was headed toward Junction City. 1927But you didn't follow him? 1928Joey always was a nuisance. 1929I was for dropping him in the river. 1930- Why didn't you? 1931- And get my brains shot out? 1932You've got to find a better reason to kill me. 1933Suppose Concho didn't catch up with Joey in town and suppose the kid talked? 1934- He won't talk. 1935- Maybe not, but Concho ain't back. 1936Unless he gets back, we won't know where they're carrying the money. 1937That's right. 1938Maybe it'd be smart to let this one go through. 1939Why? 1940We've grabbed three in a row. 1941Let's give them a breather. 1942That makes sense. 1943I go along with Utica. 1944You and me both. 1945We ought to let this one go through. 1946It ain't going through! 1947Why not? 1948You're the one who taught me about payrolls and now I like them. 1949- So do I. 1950- I'll buy that. 1951A man can get saddle-sore looking for a bank to take. 1952- I'm with Whitey. 1953- Me too. 1954What about you, Torgenson? 1955I got no complaints. 1956You call it, I'll play it. 1957Looks like you've been outvoted. 1958Or do you want a recount? 1959- Right now, I'd rather have a drink. 1960- Suit yourself. 1961If I can't buy a fight, I'll buy a drink. 1962Fill 'em up. 1963Sorry, the bar is closed. 1964On account of we're fresh out of whiskey. 1965Either get this floor fixed or get a new bartender. 1966When do we make the hit? 1967Any time you're ready. 1968She was halfway up the grade when I left. 1969Why didn't you tell me? 1970Why didn't you ask me? 1971Funny man! 1972Mount up! 1973Settle down. 1974It's only another job. 1975But if you was boss, we wouldn't do it. 1976If I was boss we wouldn't do it. 1977You ain't boss! 1978# So I bought myself a shovel and I bought myself a pick 1979# And I laid a little track along the bullfrog crick 1980# Then I built a locomotive out of 20 empty cans 1981# And I tooted on the whistle and the darned thing ran 1982# Oh, you can't get far without a railroad 1983# You can't get far without a railroad 1984# Something's gotta take you there and gotta bring you back 1985# You can't go any distance in a buggy or a hack # 1986(Train whistle) 1987Throw some ropes around them timbers. 1988We'll pull it down. 1989Torgenson! 1990- OK, John. 1991- Hurry it up, Jubilee! 1992- Boy, they're pushing her fast today. 1993- Yeah! 1994Maybe they heard I needed a quick ten thousand. 1995- That water tower your idea? 1996- What's wrong with it? 1997Any self-respecting Injun could walk away with it. 1998Funny man! 1999He knows everything about everything. 2000Let's get down and lock the barn door. 2001- (Neighing) 2002- We've stopped! 2003Whitey's making his hit! 2004- McLaine sold us out! 2005- No, Ben. 2006They didn't learn it from Grant. 2007Leary! 2008- A hold-up! 2009- They did it again! 2010Stop your moaning and hold on to your hat! 2011They won't stop old Tommy Shannon with a tank full of water. 2012That's no way to treat railroad property, Mr Shannon. 2013Take your hand off the throttle and reach for the brake! 2014All right. 2015Sit down and behave! 2016Come over here. 2017Open the safe! 2018- Ha! 2019- Move in! 2020Same as last time! 2021- We thought you were lost or drunk. 2022- There ain't nothing in there. 2023(Man) Jubilee! 2024How are you making out? 2025Try to talk your way out of this! 2026- I'm sorry I missed out with Renner. 2027- Never mind. 2028Where's the money? 2029- It's not in the safe. 2030- Then where is it? 2031It could be going to Junction City with Jeff's men. 2032That's not true. 2033Renner told us Jeff wouldn't carry the payroll! 2034That's a help. 2035Least we know who didn't carry it. 2036Funny man! 2037When you get through laughing, see what's in that red car. 2038Sure. 2039Glad to. 2040As soon as I pick up my horse. 2041He's worth more than anything I'm gonna find on this train. 2042Get those pilgrims out. 2043Maybe one of them is carrying it. 2044Hit the other cars! 2045See if you can find it. 2046Outside! 2047All of you! 2048Is this what you wanted to tell me? 2049Have a look inside, Latigo! 2050If that's McLaine... 2051No, Ben. 2052Put it away. 2053You may as well be comfortable. 2054- Be my guest. 2055- Gladly. 2056Do you mind if I ask the name of my host? 2057No, I don't mind. 2058Would the payroll be in there? 2059No. 2060Why not take a look, just to be sure? 2061Boy, is this stuff mellow. 2062Bottled in bond too. 2063- I forgot. 2064Ladies is always first. 2065- Thank you, no. 2066See for yourself. 2067Hello, Joey. 2068What are you doing here? 2069Getting robbed! 2070Don't bother. 2071None of them's got more than two dollars. 2072Whitey! 2073There ain't no payroll in there. 2074How come you missed out? 2075- I had a little trouble. 2076- Now, ain't that too bad? 2077- Maybe I ought to give you a little more. 2078- Whitey! 2079Kimball's back there with his wife. 2080(Laughs) 2081You just got lucky! 2082Put them back in the car! 2083(Concho) Get aboard! 2084Go on. 2085Good little boys don't run away. 2086This time you'll learn! 2087- Where's the payroll? 2088- The man says he doesn't know. 2089I can help him remember. 2090Take her outside. 2091Take her outside yourself. 2092I'm afraid of women. 2093They scream and scratch, and sometimes step on your toes. 2094Don't say no to me. 2095Not when I got a gun in my hand. 2096I won't. 2097Unless I'm holding one too. 2098- Outside. 2099- If you want the payroll... 2100You'll have to wait for the next work train. 2101We decided not to send it through on this one. 2102Oh? 2103I don't mind waiting. 2104I'll be at Pay Load. 2105You can bring it to me. 2106Then I'll take 12 hours' start, you get your wife back. 2107See what happens when you don't carry your brains in your feet? 2108I ought to make you walk. 2109Jubilee, lead them out. 2110Step up with Latigo. 2111(Concho) What about Joey? 2112You gonna leave him here? 2113He'll ride with me. 2114Or would you like to? 2115Settle down. 2116We're getting $10,000 for the lady, remember? 2117Which one do I ride with? 2118(Laughs) Which one do you think? 2119Take her to the end of track, Mr Shannon! 2120(Train whistle) 2121Here's a stirrup. 2122Give you a lift? 2123I'll take that box. 2124Don't crowd the cantle. 2125You'll ride easier. 2126Whoa, mules! 2127Must have got tired of making the climb and started home. 2128- Come on, boy! 2129- Just a minute. 2130There's a mining town near here. 2131It used to be called Pay Load. 2132It's still called Pay Load but nobody lives there. 2133- It's over beyond that far hill. 2134- Which hill? 2135- You see the first hill? 2136- Yes. 2137See the second one? 2138There's a third hill. 2139Pay Load's behind that. 2140- How much do you want for this mule? 2141- $50. 2142Flap Ears, when you unload this piker, you come on home to mother. 2143- Get outta there! 2144- Gah! 2145Welshing on a bet! 2146Never could understand them railroad people. 2147Come on! 2148Come on! 2149(Train whistle) 2150- Mr Kimball. 2151- Come over to the telegraph shack. 2152- Before you pass. 2153Did you bring the payroll? 2154- Not now! 2155- Did you bring it? 2156- I didn't. 2157- Now what? 2158- The end of the railroad. 2159- Shut up, Feeney. 2160- Let go of me or I'll push this down your throat! 2161Who wants your man? 2162I don't want none of 'em! 2163They're all broke! 2164- See you in Denver. 2165- I'm off to Denver too. 2166- So am I! 2167- Nobody goes without orders from Kimball! 2168- I'm leaving. 2169You'll take no joyride in this town with them painted hussies. 2170Doc you're beginning to sound like Sherlock Holmes. 2171
