1. Say, buddy, will you stake a fellow—?Copy !req
2. Hey, mister, will you stake
a fellow American to a meal?Copy !req
3. - State lottery, senor?
- Beat it. I ain't buying no lottery tickets.Copy !req
4. - Four thousand pesos, it's a big prize.
- Get away from me, you little beggar.Copy !req
5. The whole ticket is only 4 pesos.
It's a sure winner.Copy !req
6. I ain't got 4 pesos.Copy !req
7. Buy a quarter of a ticket for 1 peso silver.Copy !req
8. If you don't get away from me,
I'm gonna throw this water right in your face.Copy !req
9. Then one-tenth of a ticket, senor, for 40—Copy !req
10. Senor, buy one-twentieth.
One-twentieth costs you only 20 centavos.Copy !req
11. Look, senor, add the figures up.
You get 13.Copy !req
12. What better number could you buy?
It's a sure winner.Copy !req
13. - Yeah, well, how soon's the drawing?
- Only three weeks off.Copy !req
14. Give me a twentieth
so I don't have to look at your ugly face.Copy !req
15. Es un numero excelente, senor. Gracias.Copy !req
16. Come again next time.Copy !req
17. I always have the winners,
all the lucky numbers. Good luck.Copy !req
18. Thirteen? Heh, heh.Copy !req
19. Excuse me.Copy !req
20. Cigarette?Copy !req
21. Thanks.Copy !req
22. - Ah, it's hot.
- Yeah.Copy !req
23. What a town, Tampico.Copy !req
24. You said it, brother. If I could get a job
that'd bring enough to buy passage...Copy !req
25. I'd shake its dust off my feet
soon enough.Copy !req
26. Yeah.Copy !req
27. If I was a native, I'd get me a can
of shoe polish and I'd be in business.Copy !req
28. They'd never let a gringo.Copy !req
29. You can sit on a bench
till you're three-quarters starved.Copy !req
30. You can beg from another gringo,
you can even commit burglary.Copy !req
31. You try shining shoes in the street...Copy !req
32. or peddling lemonade out of a bucket
and your hash is settled.Copy !req
33. Never get another job from an American.Copy !req
34. Yeah, and the natives would hound
and pester you to death.Copy !req
35. - Some town to be broke in.
- What town isn't?Copy !req
36. Hey, um, can you stake a fellow American
to a meal?Copy !req
37. Hey, mister.Copy !req
38. Will you stake a fellow American
to a meal?Copy !req
39. Such impudence never came my way.
Earlier this afternoon I gave you money.Copy !req
40. Having my shoes polished,
I gave you more.Copy !req
41. Now you put the bite on me again.Copy !req
42. Do me a favor.
Go occasionally to somebody else.Copy !req
43. - This is beginning to get tiresome.
- Excuse me. I never knowed it was you.Copy !req
44. I never looked at your face,
just your hands and the money you gave.Copy !req
45. Beg pardon. I promise
I'll never put the bite on you again.Copy !req
46. This is the last you get from me.Copy !req
47. Just to make sure you don't forget
your promise, here's another peso.Copy !req
48. - Thanks, mister, thanks.
- But from now on...Copy !req
49. you have to make your way through life
without my assistance.Copy !req
50. Hey, buddy, will you stake
a fellow American to a meal?Copy !req
51. I won't give you a red cent.Copy !req
52. But if you wanna make some money,
I'll give you a job.Copy !req
53. - What's the catch?
- No catch.Copy !req
54. I got a job if you want.
It's hard work, but good pay.Copy !req
55. - You ever rig a camp?
- Sure.Copy !req
56. The ferry's making off,
one of my men hasn't shown up.Copy !req
57. I don't know what's happened.
He's probably drunk.Copy !req
58. - What's the pay?
- Eight bucks American a day.Copy !req
59. Well, don't just stand there.
Make up your mind, the ferry doesn't wait.Copy !req
60. - I'm your man.
- Come on.Copy !req
61. - Hello there.
- Hello yourself.Copy !req
62. Okay, you guys, get aboard.Copy !req
63. Take it your way.Copy !req
64. What's the matter with you two?
Can't you take it?Copy !req
65. Well, it's 130 in the shade, and there ain't
any shade up there on that derrick.Copy !req
66. Just figure you're a couple of millionaires
in your own private steam bath.Copy !req
67. And the sooner we're through...Copy !req
68. the sooner we'll be back in town
drinking cold beer.Copy !req
69. We finish within two weeks,
I'm giving you fellas a bonus.Copy !req
70. Yeah, it's coming to us
working 1 6, 1 8 hours a day like we do.Copy !req
71. Don't go crying. What do you want?
I'm paying top salaries and a bonus.Copy !req
72. How about our pay?
And when do we get it?Copy !req
73. - I ain't seen a buck out of you yet.
- You'll get your dough, all right...Copy !req
74. don't worry about that,
when we get back to Tampico.Copy !req
75. What could you do with money out here
anyway, except gamble and lose it?Copy !req
76. You'll be paid as we step off the ferry.Copy !req
77. An agent was to be here with the dough.
Don't know what could've happened.Copy !req
78. Nothing to worry about.
I'll go and pick up the money.Copy !req
79. You men stay here.Copy !req
80. Any objection to a couple of us
coming with you?Copy !req
81. Don't you trust me?
You think I'd run out on you?Copy !req
82. I don't think you'd do that.Copy !req
83. But I ain't got a cent, not even enough
to buy me a glass of beer.Copy !req
84. Say, you two guys meet me
over at the Cantina Madrid.Copy !req
85. It's a quarter of 2 now
and I'll be over there no later than 3:00.Copy !req
86. Pat McCormick, si.
He come in from time to time.Copy !req
87. I no see him lately.Copy !req
88. Pat McCormick?
What about Pat McCormick?Copy !req
89. - Supposed to meet us here.
- Does he owe you money?Copy !req
90. Yeah.Copy !req
91. Say, how long you guys
been around Tampico, anyway?Copy !req
92. What's that got to do with it?Copy !req
93. Only foreigners and half-baked Americans
fall for McCormick's tricks.Copy !req
94. How do you mean?Copy !req
95. I mean he hires dumb guys like you
to work for him.Copy !req
96. When it comes time to pay off,
he takes a powder.Copy !req
97. How much we got left
of that 10 he gave us, Dobbsie?Copy !req
98. - Two-fifty.
- That's not even enough for one bed.Copy !req
99. I know a joint that's full of rats,
scorpions and cockroaches.Copy !req
100. The cots are only 50 centavos a night.Copy !req
101. Jobs that were a dime a dozen
ain't to be had at all.Copy !req
102. Streets are full of guys...Copy !req
103. pushing each other for a meal.Copy !req
104. Gold in Mexico? Sure there is.
Not 10 days from here by rail.Copy !req
105. There's a mountain waiting for the right guy
to come along and discover her treasure.Copy !req
106. The question is: Are you the right guy?Copy !req
107. Real bonanzas are few and far between.
They take a lot of finding.Copy !req
108. Answer me this, will you?
Why is gold worth 20 bucks an ounce?Copy !req
109. I don't know. Because it's scarce.Copy !req
110. A thousand men go searching for gold.Copy !req
111. After six months one of them's lucky.
One out of the thousand.Copy !req
112. His find represents not only his own labor
but that of 999 others to boot.Copy !req
113. That's, uh, 6000 months, 500 years...Copy !req
114. scrambling over mountain,
going hungry and thirsty.Copy !req
115. The gold is worth what it is because of
the human labor that went into finding it.Copy !req
116. Never thought of it like that.
- There's no other explanation.Copy !req
117. Gold ain't good for nothing
except for making jewelry and gold teeth.Copy !req
118. Gold's a devilish sort of thing.Copy !req
119. You start out, you tell yourself
you'll be satisfied with 25,000 worth of it.Copy !req
120. So help me Lord and cross my heart.
Fine resolution.Copy !req
121. After months of sweating, growing
short on provisions and finding nothing...Copy !req
122. you finally come down to 15,000,
then 10.Copy !req
123. Finally you say,
"Lord, let me just find $5000 worth.Copy !req
124. I'll never ask for anything more
the rest of my life."Copy !req
125. Five thousand dollars is a lot of money.Copy !req
126. In this joint it seems like a lot.Copy !req
127. If you was to make a real strike,
you couldn't be dragged away.Copy !req
128. Not even death would keep you
from trying to add 10,000 more.Copy !req
129. Ten, you'd wanna get 25.
Twenty-five, you'd wanna get 50.Copy !req
130. Fifty, 100. Like roulette.Copy !req
131. One more turn, you know?
Always one more.Copy !req
132. It wouldn't be that way with me.
I swear, it wouldn't.Copy !req
133. I'd take only what I set out to get.Copy !req
134. Even if there was half-a-million dollars' worth
lying around waiting to be picked up.Copy !req
135. I've dug in Alaska
and Canada and Colorado.Copy !req
136. I was in the British Honduras,
I made my fare back home...Copy !req
137. and almost enough
to cure me of the fever I'd caught.Copy !req
138. Dug in California and Australia.
All over the world practically.Copy !req
139. Yeah. I know what gold does
to men's souls.Copy !req
140. You talk as though
you struck it rich sometime, pop.Copy !req
141. How about it?Copy !req
142. Then what are you doing in here,
a down-and-outer?Copy !req
143. That's gold. That's what it makes us.Copy !req
144. Never knew a prospector yet
that died rich.Copy !req
145. Make one fortune, he's sure to blow it
trying to find another.Copy !req
146. I'm no exception to the rule.Copy !req
147. Ah, sure, I'm a gnawed old bone now,
but don't you guys think the spirit's gone.Copy !req
148. I'm set to shoulder a pickaxe anytime
anybody's willing to share expenses.Copy !req
149. I'd rather go myself. Going alone is best.Copy !req
150. But you gotta have a stomach for loneliness.
Some guys go nutty with it.Copy !req
151. Going with a partner is dangerous.
Murder is always lurking about.Copy !req
152. Partners accusing each other
of all sorts of crimes.Copy !req
153. As long as there's no find,
the noble brotherhood will last.Copy !req
154. But when the piles of gold begin to grow,
that's when the trouble starts.Copy !req
155. Now, I wouldn't mind
a little of that kind of trouble.Copy !req
156. I think I'll go to sleep
and dream about piles of gold...Copy !req
157. getting bigger and bigger and bigger.Copy !req
158. Do you believe what that old man who was
doing all the talking at the Oso Negro...Copy !req
159. said the other night...Copy !req
160. about gold changing a man's soul
so's he ain't the same kind of a guy...Copy !req
161. that he was before finding it?Copy !req
162. Guess that all depends on the man.Copy !req
163. That's exactly what I say.Copy !req
164. Gold don't carry any curse with it.Copy !req
165. It all depends on whether or not
the guy who finds it is the right guy.Copy !req
166. The way I see it...Copy !req
167. gold can be as much of a blessing
as a curse.Copy !req
168. Hey, uh, Dobbsie?
- Yeah.Copy !req
169. Look who's coming out
of the Hotel Bristol.Copy !req
170. Is that Pat McCormick
or am I seeing things?Copy !req
171. It's him.Copy !req
172. Let's get him.
- Let's get him hard.Copy !req
173. Why don't you and me
go and buy me shopping things?Copy !req
174. For instance,
I could use a new pair of shoes.Copy !req
175. Hello, fellas, how are you?
Glad to see you.Copy !req
176. - Mr. Dobbs and Mr. Curtin, Senorita...
- Lopez.Copy !req
177. Lopez. I want you fellas
to come and have a drink with me.Copy !req
178. I have business with these gentlemen.Copy !req
179. You go back up to the hotel and wait, huh?
I won't be long.Copy !req
180. Okay.Copy !req
181. Let's have that drink. Where you been?
I've been looking all over for you.Copy !req
182. Three shots of rye.Copy !req
183. Make mine brandy, Three Star.Copy !req
184. Two brandies.
Rye is good enough for me.Copy !req
185. I suppose you're wondering
about that money that's coming to you.Copy !req
186. The fact is I haven't been paid off
on that contract yet myself.Copy !req
187. If I had the money, you'd get it first thing.
I'll put you both on my next contract.Copy !req
188. It'll come through Monday,
we set out Friday.Copy !req
189. Here's to mud in your eye.Copy !req
190. We want what's coming to us
and we want it right now.Copy !req
191. - Didn't I get through telling you—?
Better come across.Copy !req
192. Well, boys, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll give you 25 percent.Copy !req
193. I guess I can make it 30 percent.
The balance, the middle of next week?Copy !req
194. Right here and now.Copy !req
195. Every cent or you won't walk out of here.
You'll be carried out.Copy !req
196. Let's don't stop being friends.
How about another drink?Copy !req
197. Two more brandies.
Put the bottle on the bar.Copy !req
198. If you got ideas
about getting us liquored...Copy !req
199. Oh, no, I'm just inviting you
to have a friendly drink with me.Copy !req
200. - I'm licked, boys, I'm licked.
Give us our money.Copy !req
201. Yeah, give us our money.Copy !req
202. I can't see.Copy !req
203. Fifty, 1 00, 200...Copy !req
204. three hundred.Copy !req
205. - That's it, ain't it, Curt?
Yeah, that's it.Copy !req
206. Let's beat it before the law arrives.Copy !req
207. Here's for the drinks
and the use of the cantina.Copy !req
208. You know something, Curt?
What?Copy !req
209. We ain't very smart,
hanging around Tampico waiting for a job.Copy !req
210. Money's getting shorter every day...Copy !req
211. and soon we're right back
where we were, on the bum again...Copy !req
212. pushing guys for dimes
and sleeping around in freight cars.Copy !req
213. That's right. Got any ideas?Copy !req
214. Yeah.Copy !req
215. That old man in the Oso Negro
started me to thinking.Copy !req
216. What about?Copy !req
217. Why not try gold-digging for a change?Copy !req
218. It ain't any riskier
than waiting around here for a break...Copy !req
219. and this is the country
where the nuggets are crying for you...Copy !req
220. to take them out of the ground,
make them shining coins...Copy !req
221. on the fingers and necks
of swell dames.Copy !req
222. One thing, living in the open is cheaper
than it is here in Tampico.Copy !req
223. Our money would last longer.Copy !req
224. The longer it lasts, the greater our chance
of digging something up would be.Copy !req
225. We'd have to have equipment, all right.Copy !req
226. Picks and spades, pans, burros.
Wonder how much it would all cost.Copy !req
227. - That old man would know.
- Yeah, he could give us some pointers.Copy !req
228. He's too old to take along.
We'd have to pack him on our backs.Copy !req
229. You can't tell
about some of those old guys.Copy !req
230. It's surprising sometimes
how tough they are.Copy !req
231. I don't know what gold looks like
in the ground.Copy !req
232. I've only seen it in jewelry-store windows
and people's mouths.Copy !req
233. You know anything about prospecting?Copy !req
234. Uh... Not much,
when you come right down to it.Copy !req
235. We might have use
for an experienced guy like that old-timer.Copy !req
236. Let's go hunt him up right away.Copy !req
237. Will I go? Heh. Well, what a question.
Of course I'll go.Copy !req
238. Any time, any day,
I was waiting for two guys to ask me.Copy !req
239. Out for gold? I'm always at your service.Copy !req
240. I got 300 bucks ready cash in the bank.
Two hundred, I'm all set to invest.Copy !req
241. Last money I got.
When that's gone, I'm finished.Copy !req
242. If you don't take a risk,
can't make a gain.Copy !req
243. - How much dough you guys got to put in?
- I got 150 bucks and Curtin's got the same.Copy !req
244. Five hundred ain't enough to buy tools,
weapons and essential provisions.Copy !req
245. - What do we need weapons for?
- Meat's one thing and bandits another.Copy !req
246. Bandit country's where we'd be going.
We ought to have 600 between us.Copy !req
247. - That much, eh?
- Can't you dig up any more?Copy !req
248. - Not a red cent.
Senor.Copy !req
249. Senor! Give me my money, senor.Copy !req
250. - Ten percent for selling the winning ticket.
- Get away from me, will you?Copy !req
251. Please, senor. Whoever draws
the lucky number gives a present to—Copy !req
252. I don't want any lottery ticket.Copy !req
253. If you don't, you have bad luck
the rest of your life.Copy !req
254. What? Wait a minute.
What did you first say?Copy !req
255. He sold you the winning ticket.Copy !req
256. Hey, wait a minute.
This what you mean?Copy !req
257. Si, senor.Copy !req
258. It's the winner?
- Two hundred peso prize.Copy !req
259. Where?Copy !req
260. - Hey, that's my number.
- Sure enough.Copy !req
261. Just look at that fat, rich printed number.Copy !req
262. That's the kind of sugar Poppa likes.
Oh, 200 pesos.Copy !req
263. Welcome, sweet little smackeroos.Copy !req
264. Here, son, here's a present for you
with my blessing.Copy !req
265. Muchas gracias, senor.Copy !req
266. Well, would you like to shake the hand
that bought that ticket?Copy !req
267. - Congratulations.
- Congratulations, yourself.Copy !req
268. - You profit out of this the same as I do.
- How do you make that out?Copy !req
269. Didn't he just say we needed 600 bucks?
That's what we've got now, ain't it?Copy !req
270. - Yeah, but—
- But what?Copy !req
271. - You're putting up for me?
- This is an all-or-nothing proposition.Copy !req
272. If we make a find,
we'll be lighting our cigars with $100 bills.Copy !req
273. If we don't,
the difference between what I put up...Copy !req
274. ain't enough to keep me
from being where I was:Copy !req
275. Polishing a bench with my pants.Copy !req
276. Put her there, part.Copy !req
277. We'll buy our burros at Perla
and head northwest away from the railroad.Copy !req
278. No use looking nearby a railroad,
or any kind of a road at all...Copy !req
279. because construction engineers examine
every bit of ground around the road...Copy !req
280. while they're building.
We go where there's no trails.Copy !req
281. Where no surveyor or anybody who knows
anything about prospecting has been before.Copy !req
282. The best place to go to...Copy !req
283. anybody works on a salary wouldn't go
because he wouldn't risk his hide.Copy !req
284. I got three of them.
How many did you get?Copy !req
285. A couple.
- I'm one up. I bet I got more.Copy !req
286. I got three. Nice shooting, eh?Copy !req
287. Look at that hole two inches
from my head. That was close.Copy !req
288. The bullets were flying thick and fast in here.
It sounded like a swarm of bees.Copy !req
289. That bandit with the gold hat,
I had my sights on him, nice as you please.Copy !req
290. The train gave a jolt and I missed.
Wish I'd got him.Copy !req
291. Big boulder on the track, so train stop.Copy !req
292. Bandits get big surprise because
soldiers on the train waiting for them.Copy !req
293. - Not many passengers get killed.
- Here's where we're bound for.Copy !req
294. Don't show whether there's mountain,
swamp or desert.Copy !req
295. That shows the makers of the map
don't know.Copy !req
296. Once on the ground,
we open our eyes and look around.Copy !req
297. Blow our noses too.
Believe it or not, I knew a fellow...Copy !req
298. who could smell gold
like a jackass can smell water.Copy !req
299. What's all that about?Copy !req
300. We're going into country
very wild and dangerous.Copy !req
301. Have to cut through jungles and climb
mountains so high they rise above the clouds.Copy !req
302. Tigers so big and strong they can climb trees
with burros in their mouths. Good.Copy !req
303. Glad to hear such tall tales because
that means few outsiders have set foot there.Copy !req
304. Well, let's get going.Copy !req
305. Oh.Copy !req
306. Hey.Copy !req
307. If there was gold in them mountains,
how long would it have been there?Copy !req
308. Millions and millions of years,
wouldn't it?Copy !req
309. What's our hurry?Copy !req
310. A couple of days more or less
ain't gonna make any difference.Copy !req
311. Remember what you said
back in Tampico...Copy !req
312. about having to pack that old man
on our backs?Copy !req
313. That was when I took him
for an ordinary human being...Copy !req
314. not part goat.Copy !req
315. Look at him climb, will you?Copy !req
316. What gets me is how he can go all day long
in the sun without any water.Copy !req
317. Maybe he's part camel too.Copy !req
318. If I'd known what prospecting meant...Copy !req
319. I'd have stayed in Tampico
and waited for another job to turn up.Copy !req
320. Hey.
What's the matter?Copy !req
321. Look.Copy !req
322. - Look at it glitter. It's yellow too, like—
- Like...Copy !req
323. Gold.Copy !req
324. Howard. Howard. Howard! Howard.Copy !req
325. Come back, we've found something.Copy !req
326. Hey, look. Hey, look, Curt,
there's a vein of it here in this rock.Copy !req
327. And look here. Look, it's all around.Copy !req
328. What else could it be?Copy !req
329. Only gold shines and glitters like that.Copy !req
330. We've struck it, Curt.Copy !req
331. Look, from the looks of things...Copy !req
332. we've struck it rich.Copy !req
333. - Look, it's all over here.
- We found— What do you call it?Copy !req
334. - Mother lode.
- Right.Copy !req
335. Howard. Come on. Look. Look.Copy !req
336. Here, look at this rock.
It's full of gold. Veins of it.Copy !req
337. This wouldn't pay dinner for a carload.Copy !req
338. It ain't gold?Copy !req
339. Pyrite. Fool's gold.Copy !req
340. Not that there ain't
plenty of the real stuff.Copy !req
341. Walked over it four or five times.
A place yesterday looked rich...Copy !req
342. but the water for washing the sand
was miles away.Copy !req
343. The other places, there wasn't enough gold
to pay us a good day's wages.Copy !req
344. Next time you strike it rich, holler for me...Copy !req
345. before you start splashing water around.
Water's precious.Copy !req
346. Sometimes it can be more precious
than gold.Copy !req
347. Burro.Copy !req
348. - What's up?
- Norther, looks like.Copy !req
349. A "norther"? What's a "norther"?Copy !req
350. Big winds from the north
this time of year.Copy !req
351. When they blow hard, this desert country
stands right up on its hind legs.Copy !req
352. There's only a few more miles
of this heavy stuff.Copy !req
353. Pretty soon we'll be out of this valley.Copy !req
354. Hey, you fellas, how about some beans?Copy !req
355. You want some beans?Copy !req
356. Going through some mighty rough country
tomorrow. You better have some beans.Copy !req
357. You know what I'm thinking?Copy !req
358. I'm thinking we ought to give up...Copy !req
359. leave the whole outfit...Copy !req
360. everything behind.Copy !req
361. Go back to civilization.Copy !req
362. What's that you say? Go back?
Ha, ha! Well, tell my old grandmother.Copy !req
363. I got two bedfellows
who kick at the first drop of rain...Copy !req
364. and hide when thunder rumbles.Copy !req
365. My, my, my. What great prospectors.Copy !req
366. Two shoe clerks reading
about prospecting for gold...Copy !req
367. south of the border
or west of the Rockies.Copy !req
368. Shut your trap. Shut up
or I'll smash your head flat.Copy !req
369. Go ahead, throw it. If you did,
you'd never leave this wilderness alive.Copy !req
370. You two would die here
more miserable than rats.Copy !req
371. Oh, leave him alone.
Can't you see the old man's nuts?Copy !req
372. Nuts? Nuts, am l? Let me tell you
something, my two fine bedfellows.Copy !req
373. You're so dumb,
there's nothing to compare.Copy !req
374. Dumber than the dumbest jackass.
Look at each other.Copy !req
375. Ever see anything like yourself
for specimens?Copy !req
376. You're so dumb...Copy !req
377. you don't see the riches
you're treading on.Copy !req
378. Don't expect to find nuggets
of molten gold.Copy !req
379. It's not that rich.
Here ain't the place to dig.Copy !req
380. It comes from someplace further up.
Up there.Copy !req
381. Up there's where we got to go. Up there.Copy !req
382. Is that it?
That's it, all right.Copy !req
383. Gold, I mean.
Yeah.Copy !req
384. Sure don't look like I thought it would.Copy !req
385. Not much different from sand.
- Yeah. It's just like plain sand.Copy !req
386. - It don't glitter.
- It will when it's refined.Copy !req
387. Some other guy's job.Copy !req
388. All we got to do is mine it
and get it back there.Copy !req
389. Gold ain't like stones in a riverbed.
It don't cry out to be picked up. Ha.Copy !req
390. You got to know how to recognize it.
And finding ain't all. Not by a long shot.Copy !req
391. Got to tickle her
so she'll come out laughing.Copy !req
392. Yeah, it's mighty rich. It'll pay good.Copy !req
393. - How good?
- Oh, about 20 ounces to the ton.Copy !req
394. - That's $20 an ounce.
- How many tons can we handle a week?Copy !req
395. Depends on how hard we work.Copy !req
396. We better pitch our camp
down the mountainside.Copy !req
397. Why, when the digging's here?Copy !req
398. Anybody happens by,
we can tell them we're hunters.Copy !req
399. - Wouldn't it be easier to file a claim?
- Easier, but not so profitable.Copy !req
400. An emissary from one
of those big companies would be here...Copy !req
401. with a paper in his hand
showing we had no right to be here.Copy !req
402. Yeah. Well?Copy !req
403. How does it feel to you fellas
to be men of property?Copy !req
404. Huh.Copy !req
405. The tanks will leak at first...Copy !req
406. till the boards begin to swell
and close the seams.Copy !req
407. I sure had some cockeyed ideas
about prospecting for gold.Copy !req
408. It was all in the finding, I thought.
Ha, ha.Copy !req
409. Thought all you had to do was find it,
pick it up, put it in sacks...Copy !req
410. and carry them to the nearest bank.Copy !req
411. You're learning.
I won't be able to tell you a thing.Copy !req
412. - Tank full yet?
- Right to the top.Copy !req
413. Open the sluice gate.Copy !req
414. How much do you figure it to be now?Copy !req
415. Oh, about $5000 worth, I reckon.Copy !req
416. When are we going to start dividing it up?Copy !req
417. Anytime you say.Copy !req
418. What's the use in dividing it at all?
I don't see any point.Copy !req
419. We're all going back together
when the time comes.Copy !req
420. Why not wait till we get paid
and then divide the money?Copy !req
421. - Either way suits me. You fellows decide.
- I'm for dividing it up as we go along.Copy !req
422. Make each guy responsible
for his own goods.Copy !req
423. I'd just as soon have it that way.Copy !req
424. I haven't liked the responsibility
of guarding your treasure.Copy !req
425. Who asked you to?Copy !req
426. Ha, ha. That's right. You never asked me.Copy !req
427. Only I thought I was the most trustworthy
of the three.Copy !req
428. You? Ha! How come?Copy !req
429. I said the most trustworthy. As far as
being the most honest, no one can say.Copy !req
430. I don't get you.Copy !req
431. Suppose you're charged
of taking care of the goods.Copy !req
432. One day I'm deep in the brush
and Curtin's on his way to get provisions.Copy !req
433. That'd be your chance to pack up
and leave us in the cold.Copy !req
434. Only a guy that's a thief at heart would
think me likely to do a thing like that.Copy !req
435. Right now
it wouldn't be worth your while...Copy !req
436. but when the pile's grown to 300 ounces,
think of such things you will.Copy !req
437. How's about yourself?Copy !req
438. Ha, ha.
Oh, I'm not quick on my feet any longer.Copy !req
439. You're a lot tougher
than when we started out.Copy !req
440. By the time the pile's grown to be tempting,
I won't be able to run as fast as you.Copy !req
441. You'd get me
and string me up in no time.Copy !req
442. That's why I think
I'm the most trustworthy.Copy !req
443. Looking at it that way, you're right.Copy !req
444. But maybe it would be a good idea...Copy !req
445. to cut the proceeds up
three ways every night.Copy !req
446. Relieve you of a responsibility
you don't like.Copy !req
447. Swell by me.
After we got a couple of hundred ounces...Copy !req
448. it'll be a nuisance
carrying bags from our necks.Copy !req
449. Each of us will have to hide his share
of treasure from the other two.Copy !req
450. Having done so, he'll have to be forever on
watch that his hiding place's not discovered.Copy !req
451. What a dirty, filthy mind you've got.Copy !req
452. Oh, no. Not dirty. Not dirty, baby.
Only I know what kind of ideas...Copy !req
453. even supposedly decent people get
when gold's at stake.Copy !req
454. All right.Copy !req
455. Here she goes three ways.Copy !req
456. Dobbs.Copy !req
457. Howard. Howard. Howard.Copy !req
458. Howard, come quick.Copy !req
459. He's coming around.Copy !req
460. Lay still a minute
till you get your senses back.Copy !req
461. What happened?Copy !req
462. Part of the mine caved in on you.Copy !req
463. Got a knock on the head.Copy !req
464. No bones broken?Copy !req
465. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
466. - Who pulled me out?
Curtin did.Copy !req
467. I owe my life to you, partner.Copy !req
468. Forget it.Copy !req
469. What are you gonna do with your money
when we get back and cash in?Copy !req
470. I'm getting along in years.
I can still hold up my end...Copy !req
471. when it comes to a hard day's work,
but I'm not the man I was once.Copy !req
472. Next year, next month, next week,
by thunder, won't be the man I am today.Copy !req
473. I'll settle down in a quiet place...Copy !req
474. get a little business, hardware,
grocery store...Copy !req
475. spend my time reading comic strips
and adventure stories.Copy !req
476. One thing's for sure.
I'm not gonna go prospecting...Copy !req
477. waste time and money
to find another gold mine.Copy !req
478. How about yourself?
What plans have you?Copy !req
479. I figure on buying some land
and growing fruit. Peaches, maybe.Copy !req
480. How did you come to settle on peaches?Copy !req
481. One summer, when I was a kid...Copy !req
482. I worked as a picker in a peach harvest
in the San Joaquin Valley.Copy !req
483. Boy, it sure was something.Copy !req
484. Hundreds of people, old and young.Copy !req
485. Whole families working together.Copy !req
486. At night, after a day's work...Copy !req
487. we used to build big bonfires
and sit around and sing to guitar music.Copy !req
488. Till morning sometimes.Copy !req
489. We'd go to sleep, wake up and sing,
and go to sleep again.Copy !req
490. Everybody had a wonderful time.Copy !req
491. Ever since, I've had a hankering
to be a grower.Copy !req
492. It must be grand
watching your own trees put on leaves...Copy !req
493. come into blossom and bear.Copy !req
494. Watching the fruit get big
and ripe on the boughs, ready for picking.Copy !req
495. What's all that about?Copy !req
496. We're telling each other
what we aim to do.Copy !req
497. Oh!Copy !req
498. Now me, I got it all figured out
what I'm gonna do.Copy !req
499. Tell us about it, Dobbsie.Copy !req
500. Well, first off, I'm going to a Turkish bath
and I'm gonna sweat and soak...Copy !req
501. till I get all the grime and dirt
out of my system.Copy !req
502. Then I'm going to a haberdasher
and gonna get myself brand-new duds.Copy !req
503. Dozen of everything.Copy !req
504. Then I'm going to a swell cafe,
order everything on the bill of fare...Copy !req
505. and if it ain't just right,
or maybe even if it is...Copy !req
506. I'm gonna bawl the waiter out,
take the whole thing back.Copy !req
507. What's next on the program?Copy !req
508. Well, what would be?Copy !req
509. I wouldn't talk or even think about women.Copy !req
510. Ain't good for your health.Copy !req
511. Yeah, maybe you're right,
seeing as how the prospects are far off.Copy !req
512. You know what?Copy !req
513. We ought to put a limit on our take,
agree between us...Copy !req
514. when we get so much,
we pull up stakes.Copy !req
515. - What do you think the limit ought to be?
- Say $25,000 apiece.Copy !req
516. Twenty-five thousand?
Eh, small potatoes.Copy !req
517. How much do you say?Copy !req
518. Oh, 50,000 anyway,
75 would be more like it.Copy !req
519. Take a year, if the vein held out.
Wouldn't be likely.Copy !req
520. What's a year more or less
when that kind of money is to be had?Copy !req
521. Oh, 25,000 is plenty
as far as I'm concerned.Copy !req
522. - Enough to last me the rest of my lifetime.
- Well, sure, you're old. I'm young.Copy !req
523. I need dough and plenty of it.Copy !req
524. Twenty-five thousand in one piece
is more than I ever expected to get.Copy !req
525. Small potatoes.
- There's no use making hogs of ourselves.Copy !req
526. Hog, am l?Copy !req
527. I'd be within my rights if I demanded
half again as much as you get.Copy !req
528. How come?Copy !req
529. There's no denying I put up
the lion's share of the cash.Copy !req
530. So you did, Dobbsie,
and I always meant to pay you back.Copy !req
531. In any civilized place the biggest investor
gets the biggest return, don't he?Copy !req
532. Ha. That's one thing in favor of the wilds.Copy !req
533. Not that I intend to demand it,
but I'd be within my rights if I did.Copy !req
534. Next time you call me a hog just remember
what I could've done if I'd wanted to.Copy !req
535. It'd be wise not to put things
on a money basis.Copy !req
536. Here you are, Dobbs.
What I owe you with interest.Copy !req
537. I just don't like being called a hog,
that's all.Copy !req
538. Better not jump out.
I might have let you have it.Copy !req
539. Out for a midnight stroll?Copy !req
540. Tiger around,
I went to see the burros.Copy !req
541. So?
- What's the matter, Dobbsie?Copy !req
542. I think I'll see if the burros are all right.Copy !req
543. Go ahead. Help yourself.Copy !req
544. What's up?
- Nothing's up.Copy !req
545. Where is Dobbs?Copy !req
546. Poking around in the dark out there.Copy !req
547. He's sure taking a long time out there.Copy !req
548. I think I'll go have a look-see.Copy !req
549. Where's Curtin?Copy !req
550. He's out there somewhere.
Said he was gonna have a look-see.Copy !req
551. It's me again,
but I won't take my turn.Copy !req
552. Stop worrying about your goods, go to bed.
We got work to do tomorrow.Copy !req
553. Can't catch me sleeping.
Don't you ever believe that.Copy !req
554. I'm not that dumb.Copy !req
555. The day you try to put anything
over on me...Copy !req
556. it'll be a costly one for both of you.Copy !req
557. Any more lip out of you
and I'll up and let you have it.Copy !req
558. If you know what's good for you...Copy !req
559. you won't monkey around
with Fred C. Dobbs.Copy !req
560. You ought to get a load of Dobbs.
He's talking to himself.Copy !req
561. Something's eating him,
I don't know what.Copy !req
562. He's just spoiling for trouble.Copy !req
563. "We're running short of provisions,
Dobbsie.Copy !req
564. How about you go into the village?"Copy !req
565. Who does Howard think he is,
ordering me around?Copy !req
566. What's that, Dobbs?Copy !req
567. - Nothing.
- Look out.Copy !req
568. - It's a bad sign when a guy talks to himself.
- Yeah? Who else am I gonna talk to?Copy !req
569. Certainly not you or Curtin.Copy !req
570. - Fine partners you two are.
- Something up your nose?Copy !req
571. Blow it out, it'll do you good.Copy !req
572. Don't get the idea you two
are putting anything over.Copy !req
573. - Take it easy.
- I know what your game is.Copy !req
574. You know more than I do.Copy !req
575. Why am I to go to the village
instead of you and Curtin?Copy !req
576. Don't think I don't see through that.
You two have thrown together against me.Copy !req
577. The two days I'd be gone would give you
time to discover where my goods are.Copy !req
578. Fear along those lines,
take your goods with you.Copy !req
579. And run the risk of having them
taken from me by bandits?Copy !req
580. If you run into them,
you'd be out of luck anyway.Copy !req
581. - They'd kill you for the shoes on your feet.
- So that's it. Everything's clear now.Copy !req
582. You're hoping bandits will get me.Copy !req
583. That would save you a lot of trouble,
wouldn't it?Copy !req
584. Your consciences
wouldn't bother you none neither.Copy !req
585. All right, Dobbs, forget about it.Copy !req
586. Ah, just like I thought.Copy !req
587. - What's the idea?
- Put your hands up.Copy !req
588. I've a good mind to haul off
and pump you up, chest and belly alike.Copy !req
589. You mind telling me
what this is about?Copy !req
590. - It won't get you anywhere playing dumb.
- Well, I'll be.Copy !req
591. - So that's where your goods are hidden.
- What's the trouble here?Copy !req
592. Seems like I accidentally stumbled
on Dobbsie's treasure.Copy !req
593. Accidentally? Why were you trying
to pry up that rock, tell me?Copy !req
594. - I saw a Gila monster crawl under it.
- Brother, I gotta hand it to you.Copy !req
595. You can certainly pick up a good story
when you need one.Copy !req
596. Okay, I'm a liar.
There isn't a Gila monster under there.Copy !req
597. Let's see you stick your hand in
and get your goods out.Copy !req
598. - Go ahead.
Sure, I will.Copy !req
599. But you try any bad moves—Copy !req
600. Don't worry. I'll stay right where I am.
I wanna see this.Copy !req
601. Reach in and get your goods.Copy !req
602. If you don't, we'll think you're yellow,
won't we, Howard?Copy !req
603. They never let go, do they,
once they grab onto you?Copy !req
604. You can cut them in two
and the head will still hang on till sundown.Copy !req
605. By that time, the victim doesn't care.
He's dead.Copy !req
606. - isn't that right, Howard?
I reckon.Copy !req
607. Why don't you stick your hand in,
get your treasure?Copy !req
608. Couldn't be because you're scared
after you've been shooting your mouth off?Copy !req
609. Show us you ain't yellow.Copy !req
610. I'd hate to think my partner
had a yellow streak up his back.Copy !req
611. I'll kill you, you dirty, thieving...Copy !req
612. Okay, Howard, I got him covered.Copy !req
613. Another bad move out of you
and I'll blow you to kingdom come.Copy !req
614. Howard, turn that rock over, will you?Copy !req
615. The Federales are very efficient.Copy !req
616. Yeah. Bandidos, eh?Copy !req
617. Yeah, seems between them
they had a diamond ring...Copy !req
618. pearl earrings, money...Copy !req
619. and a railway ticket with the date
of the Aguascalientes robbery on it.Copy !req
620. They've been here several days,
drinking, shooting.Copy !req
621. The villagers are afraid
to stick their noses out.Copy !req
622. Where are they taking them now?Copy !req
623. - The cemetery.
- Oh.Copy !req
624. The Federales
don't operate in our American way.Copy !req
625. They aren't fingerprint experts,
but they can follow any trail.Copy !req
626. Against them, no hideout is any use.Copy !req
627. They know all the tricks of the bandits.Copy !req
628. Yeah, you can bet your sweet soul
they'll trace down...Copy !req
629. every last one of that group
that attacked the train.Copy !req
630. It'll take time,
months maybe, but they'll do it.Copy !req
631. Not many Americans get around this way.
You're the first one for a long time.Copy !req
632. That so?Copy !req
633. - Mighty rugged country hereabouts.
- Yeah.Copy !req
634. My name's Cody.Copy !req
635. - I'm from Texas.
- Curtin.Copy !req
636. - What's your game?
- I'm a hunter.Copy !req
637. - Professional?
- Yeah.Copy !req
638. What all do you hunt?Copy !req
639. Oh, tiger cats,
anything of commercial value.Copy !req
640. - How long you been in these mountains?
- Oh, a few months.Copy !req
641. Ever seen anything
that looked like pay dirt?Copy !req
642. No.Copy !req
643. I've a hunch there's loads of the real goods
up in those mountains.Copy !req
644. No, I know
the whole landscape around here.Copy !req
645. If there'd been gold, I'd have seen it.Copy !req
646. - There's nothing doing here for gold.
- I can look at a hill five miles away...Copy !req
647. and tell you whether it carries
an ounce or a shipload.Copy !req
648. If you haven't found anything,
I'll come with you, put your nose in it.Copy !req
649. There's indications in this valley,
lots of indications.Copy !req
650. I find they come from that ridge up there,
washed down by the tropical rain.Copy !req
651. - You don't say so.
- Yes, I say so.Copy !req
652. So much for those bandits.Copy !req
653. You gotta hand it to the Mexicans
when it comes to swift justice.Copy !req
654. Once the Federales get their mitts
on a criminal they know just what to do.Copy !req
655. Hand him a shovel, tell him to dig.
He's deep enough...Copy !req
656. they tell him to put the shovel down,
smoke a cigarette and say his prayers.Copy !req
657. In another five minutes he's being covered
over with the earth he dug out.Copy !req
658. Yeah, you gotta hand it to them,
all right.Copy !req
659. I meant what I said about going along
with you. Those are my burros.Copy !req
660. I'm ready to start
if you'll let me go with you to your camp.Copy !req
661. Thanks anyway,
but I prefer going it by myself.Copy !req
662. - Good luck.
Adios.Copy !req
663. Burros.Copy !req
664. Come on, burros.Copy !req
665. I went way around, stayed on hard ground
which wouldn't show the tracks.Copy !req
666. Every time I hit a high point and looked,
I could see he was still coming.Copy !req
667. I guess it's only a matter of time
till he shows up here.Copy !req
668. - I move we tell him straight off to beat it.
- Now, no, that'd be foolish.Copy !req
669. He'd sit for an hour playing the innocent
and then report us to the officials.Copy !req
670. We couldn't stay and we couldn't
take our goods with us when we left.Copy !req
671. Nothing to do but pull the trigger
the minute he appears.Copy !req
672. No crime to visit these mountains.Copy !req
673. He might like to wander.
You can't shoot him for that.Copy !req
674. If you were to shoot him
it might come out.Copy !req
675. We don't have to shoot him necessarily.Copy !req
676. We can push him off one of them rocks,
claim it an accident.Copy !req
677. Just who's gonna do the pushing, you?Copy !req
678. We'll toss for it.Copy !req
679. You're sure he was trailing you, are you?Copy !req
680. - Absolutely.
- How come?Copy !req
681. Because there he is.Copy !req
682. Come over by the fire.Copy !req
683. I know quite well I'm not wanted here.
But even after what you told me...Copy !req
684. I couldn't resist the desire
to sit and jaw with an American.Copy !req
685. Why don't you go where Americans want
to talk to you? Durango isn't too far.Copy !req
686. They got one
of them American clubs there.Copy !req
687. I'm not after that.Copy !req
688. I've got other things on my mind,
more important.Copy !req
689. Uh-huh.Copy !req
690. So do we. Don't make any mistakes.
Our biggest worry is your presence here.Copy !req
691. We got no use for you.Copy !req
692. We don't even want you
for a cook or a dishwasher.Copy !req
693. No vacancies, understand?Copy !req
694. In case I don't make myself clear,
you'll be doing yourself a favor...Copy !req
695. by packing up
and getting out tomorrow.Copy !req
696. Go back where you came from.
Take our blessings with you.Copy !req
697. - Thanks.
- Yeah.Copy !req
698. Go ahead. Help yourself. We're no misers.
We don't let guys starve to death.Copy !req
699. Tonight, you're our guest.Copy !req
700. But tomorrow morning...Copy !req
701. look out, no trespassing around here.Copy !req
702. You know, "Beware the dogs."
Get it?Copy !req
703. I got myself five foxes and a lion
while you were away at the village.Copy !req
704. - How are the hides?
- Pretty good.Copy !req
705. - Where'd you hit them?
- Right through their eyes.Copy !req
706. Excuse me for butting in, but there's
no game here worth going after.Copy !req
707. Wouldn't take one week for a hunter to clean
up all around for five miles in each direction.Copy !req
708. Yes, there's no good hunting here.Copy !req
709. That's why we made up our mind to quit
and look for something better.Copy !req
710. Yes, you're dead right.
Awful poor ground.Copy !req
711. It took us some time to find it out.Copy !req
712. Poor ground, you say?Copy !req
713. Depends on what you're looking for.Copy !req
714. For game, yes.Copy !req
715. - Mighty good ground for something else.
Yeah?Copy !req
716. Uh, what might that be?Copy !req
717. Gold.Copy !req
718. Gold?Copy !req
719. That's a good one.Copy !req
720. I told you in the village,
there's no gold here.Copy !req
721. If there had been one ounce of it,
I'd have seen it, believe me.Copy !req
722. If you haven't found any gold here,
you're not as smart as you appear.Copy !req
723. Well, maybe. Maybe you're right.Copy !req
724. Who knows?Copy !req
725. We never thought about gold.
Gives me an idea.Copy !req
726. Guess I'll sleep on it.Copy !req
727. Well, I'll hit the hay.Copy !req
728. Yeah. Me too.
Till in the morning, mister.Copy !req
729. I can't figure this bird out.
Is he wise to us or isn't he?Copy !req
730. Whether he is or not,
he looks fairly harmless to me.Copy !req
731. - Yeah. Looks can be mighty deceiving.
- No denying that.Copy !req
732. I'm keeping my boots on this night.Copy !req
733. Might take it in his head
to murder us in our sleep.Copy !req
734. - Anything can happen.
- Well, then?Copy !req
735. I'll tell you what.Copy !req
736. You guys go to sleep,
I'll be watchdog for a couple hours.Copy !req
737. Then you can take your turns.Copy !req
738. - Okay. Got your gun handy?
- Yeah. Right here.Copy !req
739. Good morning, friend.Copy !req
740. Where'd you get the water
to make coffee?Copy !req
741. - I took it out of the olla.
- Did you?Copy !req
742. We didn't carry that water here
for you to make coffee.Copy !req
743. - I didn't know water was so hard to get.
- You know it now.Copy !req
744. - I'll fill it up for you.
- What's up?Copy !req
745. Well, I caught this guy stealing our water.Copy !req
746. The next time I'll let it out of you
through little round holes.Copy !req
747. I thought I was among civilized men
who wouldn't begrudge me fresh water.Copy !req
748. Who's not civilized?Copy !req
749. I could easily do the same for you.Copy !req
750. It's not settled yet
who'd come out on top.Copy !req
751. This time I took it.
Thanks for your kind attention.Copy !req
752. If I were you, stranger,
I'd pack up and go while the going's good.Copy !req
753. I mean to stay right here.Copy !req
754. The brush and the mountains are free,
aren't they?Copy !req
755. Sure. That's right,
to whoever's first on the spot.Copy !req
756. That holds for hunters,
not for gold miners.Copy !req
757. - Unless they registered their claim.
- Who says we have a claim to register?Copy !req
758. Whatever you say or don't say,
tomorrow I start to dig for gold.Copy !req
759. I know you guys
can bump me off any minute...Copy !req
760. but that's a risk worth running
considering the stakes.Copy !req
761. Lay our cards on the table.Copy !req
762. As I see it, you guys have got to do
one of three things:Copy !req
763. Kill me, run me off
or take me in with you as a partner.Copy !req
764. Let's consider the first.Copy !req
765. Another guy may come along.
Maybe a dozen other guys.Copy !req
766. You start bumping people off,
how far are you prepared to go?Copy !req
767. Ask yourselves that.Copy !req
768. Also, don't forget,
the one actually to do the bumping off...Copy !req
769. would forever be in the power
of the other two.Copy !req
770. The only safe way would be
for all of you to drag out your cannons...Copy !req
771. and bang away like a firing squad.Copy !req
772. We wouldn't stop at anything
to protect our interests.Copy !req
773. I claim killing me isn't it.Copy !req
774. But, of course, that's for you to decide.Copy !req
775. As for choice number two.Copy !req
776. You run me off,
I might very well inform on you.Copy !req
777. We'd get you if you did that.Copy !req
778. If we had to go all the way to China.Copy !req
779. Twenty-five percent of the value
of your find is the reward I'd get.Copy !req
780. And that would be mighty tempting.
Mighty tempting.Copy !req
781. - A strong argument in favor of number one.
I don't deny it.Copy !req
782. But let's see
what number three has to offer.Copy !req
783. If you take me in as a partner,
you don't stand to lose anything.Copy !req
784. I'll not share in what you've made so far,
only in profits to come.Copy !req
785. What do you say?Copy !req
786. Would you mind letting us talk this over
among ourselves?Copy !req
787. Not at all. Go ahead.
I have to look after my burros anyway.Copy !req
788. - What do you think?
- Sending him away is out.Copy !req
789. We bump him off or make him a partner.Copy !req
790. Fred C. Dobbs ain't a guy
likes being taken advantage of.Copy !req
791. Do the mug in, I say.
He told us how, didn't he?Copy !req
792. All of us hold out our cannons
and let him have it.Copy !req
793. What do we gain by bumping him off?Copy !req
794. Asking to share in what we made,
it'd be different.Copy !req
795. Don't mind being taken advantage of
so long as it isn't money out of pocket.Copy !req
796. And whoever else happens along...Copy !req
797. they're to be invited in too.
Come one, come all, eh?Copy !req
798. You got a point there, Dobbsie.
No question about that.Copy !req
799. But, uh, killing...Copy !req
800. - What's the matter, ain't you up to it?
- Sure, I'm up to it.Copy !req
801. Let the majority decide.Copy !req
802. What's your vote, partner?Copy !req
803. For or against?Copy !req
804. For.Copy !req
805. Okay.Copy !req
806. Let's make it short and sweet for him.Copy !req
807. So it's number one, is it?Copy !req
808. Better take a look down that hill first.Copy !req
809. I can't make out what they are.
They must be soldiers.Copy !req
810. So that's your stinking game, is it?Copy !req
811. Informing. I knew you was an informer.
I knew it all the time.Copy !req
812. You're wrong.
This means all our funerals.Copy !req
813. What's that?Copy !req
814. If it's what I think it is,
may the Lord be with us.Copy !req
815. They're not soldiers, they're bandits.
After guns and ammunition.Copy !req
816. Someone must have told them
about the American hunter.Copy !req
817. They don't look like soldiers to me, either.
That's what they are. Bandits.Copy !req
818. We better start thinking
of a way to defend ourselves.Copy !req
819. We might hide,
but we'd lose the burros, the whole outfit.Copy !req
820. No, the best thing is to make a fight of it.Copy !req
821. You have good eyes. Stay on this lookout
and watch their movements.Copy !req
822. Curtin, you round up the burros
and herd them in that thicket there.Copy !req
823. Dobbs, let's you and me wrap up all our
belongings and dump them in the trench.Copy !req
824. They're turning onto the trail.Copy !req
825. - How many of them are there?
About a dozen.Copy !req
826. They'll be an hour
so we better have something to eat.Copy !req
827. Come on down, friend.Copy !req
828. Howard.Copy !req
829. Look, Howard.
The one in the gold hat, remember?Copy !req
830. The man from the train robbery.Copy !req
831. They think whoever was here is gone.Copy !req
832. Some want to go back down,
others want to stay...Copy !req
833. and use this site as headquarters
to raid the villages.Copy !req
834. How about pouring it into them?Copy !req
835. - Bumping off as many as we can, real fast?
- No, let's hold our horses.Copy !req
836. Alto!Copy !req
837. We are Federales.Copy !req
838. - You know, the mounted police.
- if you're the police, where are your badges?Copy !req
839. Badges? We ain't got no badges.Copy !req
840. We don't need no badges.Copy !req
841. I don't have to show you
any stinking badges.Copy !req
842. Better not come any closer.Copy !req
843. We didn't try to do you any harm.Copy !req
844. Why don't you try to be
a little more polite?Copy !req
845. Give us your gun
and we'll leave you in peace.Copy !req
846. I need my gun myself.Copy !req
847. Aw, throw that old iron over here.Copy !req
848. We'll pick it up and go on our way.Copy !req
849. You go anyway without my gun,
and go quick.Copy !req
850. All right. All right.Copy !req
851. Look here, amigo,
you got the wrong idea.Copy !req
852. We don't want to get your gun for nothing.
We want to buy it.Copy !req
853. Look, I have a gold watch
with a gold chain...Copy !req
854. made in your own country.Copy !req
855. The watch and the chain,
they're worth at least 200 pesos.Copy !req
856. I'll change it for your gun.Copy !req
857. You better take it.
That's a good business for you.Copy !req
858. You keep your watch, I'll keep my gun.Copy !req
859. Oh, you'll keep it? You will keep it?
We won't get it?Copy !req
860. I'll show you.Copy !req
861. Anybody get hurt?Copy !req
862. Looks like we won that round.Copy !req
863. - That guy with the gold hat, ain't he—?
- We spotted him too. The train robber.Copy !req
864. - Maybe they got enough, huh?
- No, I doubt it.Copy !req
865. Now that they know there's four guns,
they'll be more determined than ever.Copy !req
866. - What do you suppose they'll pull next?
- No telling. All we can do is sit tight.Copy !req
867. Oh, Cody, you all right?Copy !req
868. He's dead.Copy !req
869. Got it right through the neck.Copy !req
870. One less gun.Copy !req
871. Chopping wood for camp, that's funny.Copy !req
872. - if they're up to what I think, it ain't funny.
- What's that?Copy !req
873. Building barricades that move.
An old lndian trick.Copy !req
874. They crawl and push the barricades.
You can't see where to shoot.Copy !req
875. I'd be willing to trade my share of the mine
right now for three or four hand grenades.Copy !req
876. You'd better get to your posts.Copy !req
877. Hey, they're beating it.Copy !req
878. - What do you make of that?
- Your guess is as good as mine.Copy !req
879. Wait a minute,
this may be a trick to lure us out.Copy !req
880. I don't think so. They ain't
good enough actors for this kind of a trick.Copy !req
881. Hey, partner. Up here.Copy !req
882. Here's a sight if there ever was one.Copy !req
883. Federales. Look at them.
I could kiss every one of them.Copy !req
884. Must have gotten it from the villagers
there were bandits this way.Copy !req
885. Why don't the bandits wait here, fight?Copy !req
886. They know all the tricks, that's why.Copy !req
887. With us and the Federales,
they wouldn't have a chance.Copy !req
888. Oh, go get them, sic them time.Copy !req
889. Chew them up and don't spit them out.
Swallow them.Copy !req
890. Oh, am I happy. Tell you the truth,
I was already eating dirt.Copy !req
891. - I wonder who he is.
- Huh? Oh.Copy !req
892. And if he's got any folks.Copy !req
893. Supposing he has?Copy !req
894. Let's take a look at his belongings.Copy !req
895. Hmm. A few hundred pesos.Copy !req
896. Name's James Cody. Dallas, Texas.Copy !req
897. There's a letter from Dallas too.
This must be his home.Copy !req
898. Reckon she's his girl.Copy !req
899. Not bad.Copy !req
900. "Dear Jim, your letter just arrived.Copy !req
901. It was such a relief to get word
after so many months of—"Copy !req
902. - "Silence."
- "Silence.Copy !req
903. I realize, of course, that...Copy !req
904. there aren't any mailboxes...Copy !req
905. that you can drop a letter in...Copy !req
906. out there in the wild."Copy !req
907. You better read it.Copy !req
908. "But that doesn't keep me
from worrying about you.Copy !req
909. Little Jimmy is fine, but he misses
his daddy almost as much as I do.Copy !req
910. He keeps asking,
'When's Daddy coming home?'Copy !req
911. You say if you do not make
a real find this time...Copy !req
912. you'll never go again.Copy !req
913. I cannot begin to tell you
how my heart rejoices...Copy !req
914. at those words,
if you really mean them.Copy !req
915. Now I feel free to tell you...Copy !req
916. I've never thought
any material treasure...Copy !req
917. no matter how great, is worth the pain
of these long separations.Copy !req
918. The country is especially lovely this year.Copy !req
919. It's been a perfect spring.
Warm rains and hardly any frost.Copy !req
920. The fruit trees are all in bloom.Copy !req
921. The upper orchard looks aflame...Copy !req
922. and the lower, like after a snowstorm.Copy !req
923. Everybody looks forward to big crops.Copy !req
924. I do hope you are back for the harvest.Copy !req
925. Of course, I'm hoping
that you will at last strike it rich.Copy !req
926. It is high time for luck
to start smiling upon you.Copy !req
927. But just in case she doesn't...Copy !req
928. remember we've already found
life's real treasure.Copy !req
929. Forever yours, Helen."Copy !req
930. Well, I guess we better dig a hole for him.Copy !req
931. Yeah, not so good.
Not so good as yesterday.Copy !req
932. My opinion?
It's gonna be a lot less from now on.Copy !req
933. - We've taken all the gold this mountain has.
- How much do you figure we got?Copy !req
934. Not as much as we was aiming to collect.
Not 40,000.Copy !req
935. I'm willing to lower my hindsights.Copy !req
936. We got upwards of 35,000 apiece.
I tell you, we ought to be plenty thankful.Copy !req
937. Let's call it quits, pack up and leave.Copy !req
938. The sooner the better
as far as I'm concerned.Copy !req
939. I don't want to keep that dame waiting.Copy !req
940. Take a week
to put the mountain back in shape.Copy !req
941. Do what to the mountain?Copy !req
942. - Make her appear like before we came.
- I don't get it.Copy !req
943. We wounded this mountain.
Our duty to close her wounds.Copy !req
944. The least we can do to show our gratitude
for all the wealth she's given us.Copy !req
945. If you don't want to help me,
I'll do it alone.Copy !req
946. You talk like it was a real woman.Copy !req
947. She's been a lot better to me
than any woman I ever knew.Copy !req
948. Keep your shirt on, old-timer.
Sure, I'll help you.Copy !req
949. I reckon that's about everything.Copy !req
950. Each man's burros with his goods
had better be his own responsibility.Copy !req
951. Come on.Copy !req
952. Goodbye, mountain, and thanks.Copy !req
953. Yeah, thanks, mountain.Copy !req
954. Thanks.Copy !req
955. I've been thinking about her.Copy !req
956. Cody's widow, I mean, and the kid.Copy !req
957. You know what?Copy !req
958. We ought to give them a fourth just
as if he'd been our partner from the start.Copy !req
959. What? A fourth of all our goods?Copy !req
960. - That's right.
- Are you crazy?Copy !req
961. Hadn't been for Cody,
we wouldn't have walked away.Copy !req
962. Ask Howard.Copy !req
963. The buzzard would have got fat
on us all right.Copy !req
964. Yeah, it might just as well
have been one of us.Copy !req
965. But it wasn't.
It's our good luck and his bad.Copy !req
966. Whatever you guys do,
I'm going to give a fourth.Copy !req
967. I got more than I need, anyhow.
Half what I got is enough to last me out.Copy !req
968. Fourth? Sure.Copy !req
969. You two guys must have been born
in a revival meeting.Copy !req
970. We got company.Copy !req
971. Steady, boys.Copy !req
972. Curtin.Copy !req
973. Coffee.Copy !req
974. Give him some tobacco.Copy !req
975. Hey.Copy !req
976. Gracias.Copy !req
977. We give them our tobacco,
they give us theirs, I don't get it.Copy !req
978. Why not everybody smoke his own?Copy !req
979. Take some and thank them.Copy !req
980. They're after something.Copy !req
981. Takes them a while to come to the point.Copy !req
982. To say what you want right off the bat
isn't considered polite among Indians.Copy !req
983. They got nothing but time, huh?Copy !req
984. Oh.Copy !req
985. His boy fell in the water,
they fished him out.Copy !req
986. - He ain't dead, but he just won't come to.
- Oh. Tough.Copy !req
987. I'll have a look at the boy.Copy !req
988. I'll be back in a little while.
Before morning, probably.Copy !req
989. Look after my goods
while I am gone, huh?Copy !req
990. Tequila.Copy !req
991. Artificial respiration did it
and a few Boy Scout tricks.Copy !req
992. I think it was more shock than drowning.Copy !req
993. He hadn't swallowed much water.
Maybe he was stunned while diving.Copy !req
994. What gets me is how these lndians
knew we were in the woods anyhow.Copy !req
995. When you're near their villages, they know.Copy !req
996. Don't ask me how, they just know.Copy !req
997. What's up?Copy !req
998. He's insisting we return to his village,
be guests.Copy !req
999. Tell him to forget it.
Tell him he don't owe us a thing.Copy !req
1000. If he doesn't pay off his debt
the saints will be angry.Copy !req
1001. - Ha-ha-ha.
- This is no laughing matter.Copy !req
1002. I'm afraid he's determined
to take us with him, even if it means force.Copy !req
1003. I'll handle this.Copy !req
1004. Wait a minute. You can't fight your way
out of this. Put your guns away.Copy !req
1005. Have every Indian in the mountain on our trail.
We'd be scalped in half an hour.Copy !req
1006. Well, what'd he say then?Copy !req
1007. It don't make any difference about you,
but I have to come.Copy !req
1008. - It's like that? He just wants you.
- Looks like it.Copy !req
1009. Why don't you go with them?Copy !req
1010. We'll meet you in Durango.
We'll wait there.Copy !req
1011. - What about my goods?
- Take them with you.Copy !req
1012. If they found out, they might forget he was
their honored guest and bump him off.Copy !req
1013. What'll I do? Dump them on the ground?Copy !req
1014. We'll take them with us if you want us to
and wait for you in Durango.Copy !req
1015. I reckon that's about the only solution.Copy !req
1016. I bet you'll remember this
the next time you try to do a good deed.Copy !req
1017. Maybe after I've stayed,
they'll give me a horse to ride.Copy !req
1018. That case I may be a day behind you.Copy !req
1019. That'll be swell. Good luck, Howard.Copy !req
1020. Yeah, all the luck in the world.Copy !req
1021. We'll be lonesome without you.
But my Sunday school teacher used to—Copy !req
1022. Used to say, "You got to learn to swallow
disappointments in this sad life."Copy !req
1023. Hurry up and join us.Copy !req
1024. Look out for those lndian dames.
They tell me they're smart.Copy !req
1025. One of them squaws might marry you.Copy !req
1026. Well, maybe I'll do just that. Pick me out
a good-looking squaw and marry her.Copy !req
1027. They're easy to dress, feed and entertain.
They don't nag at you, either.Copy !req
1028. Well, so long, partners.Copy !req
1029. See you in Durango.Copy !req
1030. Hey.Copy !req
1031. Ain't it always his burros
that won't march in line...Copy !req
1032. stray off the trail and smash their packs
against the trees and the rocks?Copy !req
1033. I wish they'd stray off far enough
to fall down about 2000 foot of gorge.Copy !req
1034. What was in your head
when you offered?Copy !req
1035. As if he couldn't manage by himself.Copy !req
1036. He knew what he was doing
when he turned them over to us.Copy !req
1037. Mighty cute of him, wasn't it?Copy !req
1038. What's the use of railing against
the old man? It won't do any good.Copy !req
1039. Save your breath
for that next piece of trail.Copy !req
1040. I'm stopping here for the night.Copy !req
1041. If you want to go on it's okay with me,
but take his burros with you.Copy !req
1042. They ain't my responsibility.Copy !req
1043. It's early. We can make five miles
more before dark.Copy !req
1044. Nobody ordered you to stay here.
You can go 20 miles more for all I care.Copy !req
1045. Ordered me?Copy !req
1046. You?Copy !req
1047. Who's ordering who to do anything?Copy !req
1048. You talk like you're boss of this outfit.Copy !req
1049. Maybe you are, let's hear you say it.Copy !req
1050. - All right, if you can't go any further.
- Who says I can't? Don't make me laugh.Copy !req
1051. I can go four times as far as you,
but I don't want to.Copy !req
1052. I could if I want to,
but I don't want to, see, mug?Copy !req
1053. What's the use of hollering?Copy !req
1054. We're started,
we've got to finish, like it or not.Copy !req
1055. We'll camp here.Copy !req
1056. Wonder what the old man's doing now.Copy !req
1057. Eating a meal of roast turkey
and drinking a bottle of tequila probably.Copy !req
1058. This is the first day we've had
to handle everything.Copy !req
1059. Once we get the hang of it, it'll be easier.Copy !req
1060. How far away
do you suppose the railroad is?Copy !req
1061. - Not so far as the crow flies.
- We ain't crows.Copy !req
1062. I figure we can reach the high pass
in two days more...Copy !req
1063. after that it'll be three to the railroad.
Figuring no hard luck on the trail.Copy !req
1064. What's the joke, Dobbsie?Copy !req
1065. Aren't you going to let me in on it?Copy !req
1066. In on it? Sure, I will.Copy !req
1067. Sure.Copy !req
1068. Well, go ahead and spill it.
What's so funny?Copy !req
1069. I was thinking what a bonehead play
that old jackass made...Copy !req
1070. when he put all his goods
in our keeping.Copy !req
1071. What do you mean?Copy !req
1072. Figured he'd let us do his sweating
for him, did he?Copy !req
1073. - We'll show him.
- What are you getting at?Copy !req
1074. Oh, man, can't you see? It's all ours.Copy !req
1075. We don't go back to Durango at all, sawy?
Not at all.Copy !req
1076. I don't follow you, Dobbsie.Copy !req
1077. Don't be such a sap.
Where did you ever grow up?Copy !req
1078. All right, to make it clear
to a dumbhead like you...Copy !req
1079. we take all his goods and go straight
up north and leave the jackass flat.Copy !req
1080. You aren't serious?
You don't really mean what you're saying.Copy !req
1081. Fred C. Dobbs don't say nothing
he don't mean.Copy !req
1082. As long as I can do anything about it,
you won't touch the old man's goods.Copy !req
1083. I know exactly what you mean.Copy !req
1084. You want to take it all for yourself
and cut me out.Copy !req
1085. No, I'm on the level with the old man,
just as I'd be with you if you weren't here.Copy !req
1086. Get off your soapbox. You only sound
foolish out here in this wilderness.Copy !req
1087. I know you for what you are.Copy !req
1088. For a long time I've had my suspicions
about you and now I know I've been right.Copy !req
1089. - What suspicions?
- You're not putting anything over on me.Copy !req
1090. I see right through you.Copy !req
1091. For a long time you've had it in mind
to bump me off the first opportunity...Copy !req
1092. and bury me out here in the bush.Copy !req
1093. So you could take not only the old man's
goods but mine in the bargain.Copy !req
1094. When you get to Durango safely
you'll have a big laugh...Copy !req
1095. thinking how dumb
the old man and I were.Copy !req
1096. Make another move towards me
and I'll pull the trigger.Copy !req
1097. Now, get your hands up.
Come on, get them up!Copy !req
1098. Was I right, or was l?Copy !req
1099. You and your Sunday-school talk
about protecting people's goods.Copy !req
1100. You. Go on, stand up,
and take it like a man.Copy !req
1101. Come on, get up!Copy !req
1102. Let go of it.Copy !req
1103. - The cards are dealt the other way now.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1104. - Now listen to me.
- I'll listen—Copy !req
1105. Dobbs, look, you're all wrong.Copy !req
1106. Not for a moment did I ever intend
to rob you or do you any harm.Copy !req
1107. It's just like I said:Copy !req
1108. I'd fight for you
just as I'd fight for the old man's.Copy !req
1109. If you really mean that,
give me back my gun.Copy !req
1110. My pal.Copy !req
1111. Wouldn't it be better, the way things are,
to separate tomorrow or even tonight?Copy !req
1112. - That would suit you fine, wouldn't it?
- Why me more than you?Copy !req
1113. So you could fall on me from behind,
sneak up and shoot me.Copy !req
1114. All right, I'll go first.Copy !req
1115. And wait for me on the trail
to ambush me?Copy !req
1116. Why wouldn't I do it now if I meant to?Copy !req
1117. I'll tell you why, because you're yellow.Copy !req
1118. You haven't got nerve enough
while I'm looking you in the eye.Copy !req
1119. Think like that,
nothing to do but to tie you up.Copy !req
1120. I'll tell you what. I'll make you a little bet.
Three times 35 is 105.Copy !req
1121. I'll bet you $105,000
you go to sleep before I do.Copy !req
1122. Get up there at the head of the train.Copy !req
1123. Get up.Copy !req
1124. The cards are dealt the other way now,
and for the last time. No more shuffling.Copy !req
1125. - What cards?
- I'm gonna finish this right now.Copy !req
1126. No more taking orders
like I had to do today.Copy !req
1127. - You're gonna murder me?
- No, brother, not murder. No, your mistake.Copy !req
1128. I'm doing this to save my life
that you'd be taking from me.Copy !req
1129. - The old man'll catch up with you.
- He will, will he?Copy !req
1130. I got an answer for that.
Know what I'm gonna tell him?Copy !req
1131. I'm gonna tell him you tied me to a tree
and made your getaway taking all the goods.Copy !req
1132. He'll be looking for you and not me.Copy !req
1133. Up. March. Today I had to march
to your music, now you'll march to mine.Copy !req
1134. Where?
- To your funeral.Copy !req
1135. Come on, keep going.Copy !req
1136. Get up. Sleepy, huh?Copy !req
1137. You'll be asleep soon enough.
Sound asleep.Copy !req
1138. Maybe I didn't kill him.Copy !req
1139. Maybe he just staggered and fell down
without being hit.Copy !req
1140. You keep it, it's yours anyhow.Copy !req
1141. No, they won't find him.Copy !req
1142. I'll dig a hole for him
first thing in the morning.Copy !req
1143. This fire...Copy !req
1144. don't give much heat.Copy !req
1145. Conscience.Copy !req
1146. What a thing.Copy !req
1147. If you believe you've got a conscience,
it'll pester you to death.Copy !req
1148. But if you don't believe you've got one...Copy !req
1149. what can it do to you?Copy !req
1150. Makes me sick all this talking and fussing
about nonsense.Copy !req
1151. Maybe I'd better leave him like he is.Copy !req
1152. Ain't very likely anybody will find him.Copy !req
1153. In a weeks' time, the buzzards and the ants
will have done away with him anyway.Copy !req
1154. I don't know what's getting into me.
Was that really a tiger?Copy !req
1155. No.Copy !req
1156. What if his eyes are open, looking at me?Copy !req
1157. Best thing to do
is to get to the railroad in a hurry.Copy !req
1158. Burro.Copy !req
1159. It's better not to have buried him.Copy !req
1160. I did right, yeah.Copy !req
1161. What I should have done, maybe,
was bury his clothes...Copy !req
1162. and leave him to the ants
and the buzzards.Copy !req
1163. Buzzards.Copy !req
1164. If somebody saw them circling,
they'd know something was dead.Copy !req
1165. Buzzards ain't spotted him yet.Copy !req
1166. Lucky for me.Copy !req
1167. Curtin.Copy !req
1168. Where are you? Curtin.Copy !req
1169. I better get a hold of myself.
I mustn't lose my head.Copy !req
1170. There's one thing certain, he ain't here.Copy !req
1171. I got it. The tiger.Copy !req
1172. Yeah. Yeah, that's it. The tiger must have
dragged him off to his lair, that's what.Copy !req
1173. Yeah, pretty soon, not even the bones
will be left to tell the story.Copy !req
1174. Done as if by order.Copy !req
1175. Muchas gracias.Copy !req
1176. Bueno, bueno.Copy !req
1177. I came to in the middle of the night.Copy !req
1178. My gun was on the ground beside me.Copy !req
1179. He must have left it there
to make it look like suicide.Copy !req
1180. I figured he'd come back in the morning
to see if I still had a flicker of life.Copy !req
1181. I thought about waiting for him
and letting him have it...Copy !req
1182. but there was a good chance
in my condition I might miss.Copy !req
1183. So I decided to crawl away
like a poisoned dog.Copy !req
1184. - Easy, you're talking too much.
- Don't you worry about me.Copy !req
1185. I'll pull out of this if only to get that guy.Copy !req
1186. It appears our fine Mr. Dobbs has made off
with our goods and is on his way north.Copy !req
1187. - Yeah.
- I reckon we can't blame him too much.Copy !req
1188. What do you mean?Copy !req
1189. I mean, he's not a real killer, as killers go.Copy !req
1190. I think he's as honest
as the next fella, or almost.Copy !req
1191. The mistake was leaving you two
in the depths of the wilderness...Copy !req
1192. with 100,000 between you.Copy !req
1193. Mighty big temptation, partner,
believe me.Copy !req
1194. He shot me down in cold blood.Copy !req
1195. After I was down he shot me
a second time just to make sure.Copy !req
1196. If I'd have been young and been out there,
I might have been tempted.Copy !req
1197. Maybe I wouldn't have fallen,
but I would've been tempted.Copy !req
1198. There now.
You're almost as good as new.Copy !req
1199. Now, to find that thief
and get our goods back.Copy !req
1200. They're not only giving me a horse
but they're going along to protect me.Copy !req
1201. - You ain't going.
- Who says so?Copy !req
1202. A lot of hard riding.
You wouldn't be up to it.Copy !req
1203. - You aren't leaving me behind, see?
- Look at you.Copy !req
1204. You're weak as a kitten.
Don't worry, I'll look after our interests.Copy !req
1205. I'm going.Copy !req
1206. Well, I reckon you're going.Copy !req
1207. Adios, senora. Gracias.Copy !req
1208. Burro.Copy !req
1209. Burro.Copy !req
1210. Have you got any cigarettes?Copy !req
1211. No, I haven't. I've got a little tobacco...Copy !req
1212. if that'll do.Copy !req
1213. Bueno.Copy !req
1214. No paper to roll it in?Copy !req
1215. Papers?Copy !req
1216. Yeah.Copy !req
1217. Here you are.Copy !req
1218. - Going to Durango?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1219. That's where I'm headed.Copy !req
1220. I've got to sell my burros.Copy !req
1221. I gotta get some money.
I haven't got a red cent.Copy !req
1222. Matches?Copy !req
1223. Money? We need money too.Copy !req
1224. Yeah? I could use a good mule driver...Copy !req
1225. maybe two or three.Copy !req
1226. How much is the pay?Copy !req
1227. Two pesos.Copy !req
1228. Of course, I can't pay you in advance.Copy !req
1229. I gotta wait till I get to town,
get the money.Copy !req
1230. Hey. Did I know you from someplace?Copy !req
1231. Maybe I know you.Copy !req
1232. No, I don't think so.Copy !req
1233. Are you alone?
Oh, no.Copy !req
1234. No, I'm not alone.Copy !req
1235. I got a couple of friends
coming on horseback.Copy !req
1236. Yeah, they ought to be here any minute.Copy !req
1237. Hey.Copy !req
1238. That's funny.Copy !req
1239. A man all by himself in bandit country
with a string of burros...Copy !req
1240. and his friends behind him
on horseback.Copy !req
1241. Your friends must be very far behind you.Copy !req
1242. Pablo cannot see any dust
even from their horses.Copy !req
1243. They'll be along any minute, I tell you.Copy !req
1244. I know who you are.
You're the guy in the hole.Copy !req
1245. The one who wouldn't give us the rifle.Copy !req
1246. I never laid eyes on you until now.Copy !req
1247. What you got in the bags?Copy !req
1248. - Seems to me like hides.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1249. Yeah. That's what they are, hides.Copy !req
1250. Ought to bring in
quite a lot of money, huh?Copy !req
1251. Yeah.Copy !req
1252. Sure you don't want to come along
with me and help me with the burros?Copy !req
1253. Burro.Copy !req
1254. Get away from my burro.Copy !req
1255. We can sell those burros
for just as good a price as you'd get.Copy !req
1256. Get away from my burro.Copy !req
1257. You can't frighten
even a sick louse with that.Copy !req
1258. You can only shoot one of us...Copy !req
1259. and he wouldn't mind too much.
The Federales are after him anyway.Copy !req
1260. So what, with your gun?Copy !req
1261. - We'll take that chance.
Get back there.Copy !req
1262. Burros.Copy !req
1263. Burros. Burros. Burros.Copy !req
1264. Burros... burros.Copy !req
1265. Burros.Copy !req
1266. - Shooting.
- Volley. Execution, probably.Copy !req
1267. - Dobbs is dead.
- What?Copy !req
1268. - Bandits got him.
- Our goods. What about our goods?Copy !req
1269. - What? What?
- He says our goods are safe in his office.Copy !req
1270. - It's not here, Howard, it's not here.
- Keep your shirt on, keep your shirt on.Copy !req
1271. What? What?Copy !req
1272. He heard the bandits talking
while they were waiting to be shot.Copy !req
1273. They thought it was bags of sand
hidden among the hide...Copy !req
1274. - ... to make it weigh more to sell them.
- Where are they?Copy !req
1275. In the ruins outside town. Come on.Copy !req
1276. Looks like a norther.Copy !req
1277. Oh, laugh, Curtin, old boy,
it's a great joke played on us...Copy !req
1278. by the Lord, or fate, or nature,
whatever you prefer...Copy !req
1279. but whoever or whatever played it
certainly had a sense of humor.Copy !req
1280. The gold has gone back
to where we found it.Copy !req
1281. This is worth 10 months
of suffering and labor, this joke is.Copy !req
1282. Well, Howard, what next? I wonder.Copy !req
1283. I'm all fixed as far as I'm concerned
as a medicine man.Copy !req
1284. I'll have three meals a day,
five if I want...Copy !req
1285. roof over my head,
and a drink now and then to warm me up.Copy !req
1286. I will be worshiped, fed,
and treated like a priest...Copy !req
1287. for telling people things they wanna hear.
Good medicine men are born, not made.Copy !req
1288. Come and see me sometime.Copy !req
1289. Even you'll take off your hat
when you see how respected I am.Copy !req
1290. The day before yesterday
they wanted to make me their legislature.Copy !req
1291. Their whole legislature.Copy !req
1292. I don't know what that means.
Must be the highest honor they can bestow.Copy !req
1293. Yeah, I'm all fixed
for the rest of my natural life.Copy !req
1294. - How about yourself? What do you aim to do?
- I haven't got any idea.Copy !req
1295. You're young yet. You've got plenty of time
to make three or four fortunes for yourself.Copy !req
1296. You know, the worst ain't so bad
when it finally happens.Copy !req
1297. Not half as bad as you figure it'll be
before it's happened.Copy !req
1298. I'm no worse off than I was in Tampico.Copy !req
1299. All I'm out is a couple hundred bucks
when you come right down to it.Copy !req
1300. - Not much compared to what Dobbsie lost.
- Any special place you're bent on going?Copy !req
1301. No, all places are the same to me.Copy !req
1302. You can keep my share of what the burros
and the hides will bring...Copy !req
1303. if you use it to buy a ticket to Dallas.
See Cody's widow. Better than writing.Copy !req
1304. And besides,
it's July and the fruit harvest.Copy !req
1305. How about it?Copy !req
1306. It's a deal.Copy !req
1307. Well, let's get going.Copy !req
1308. - Well, goodbye, Curtin.
- Goodbye, Howard.Copy !req
1309. - Good luck.
- Same to you.Copy !req
