it that you want to be bidding against me for the

government beef contracts. It is just a rumor, isn't

it?

TUNSTALL:

Lawrence... You have a beef outfit and a store. And

I have a beef outfit and a store. You're going try

to make money and I'm going to try to make money.

It's simple and it's fair.

MURPHY:

You see our good Sheriff sitting up there on that

horse? Do you know how much money he's got invested

in my store? His life savings, John. And it's not

just Brady who wants me to acquire those contracts.

It's the Territorial District Attorney. The Chief

Justice. The U.S. District Attorney. The Chief

Justice. The U.S. District Attorney. The Santa Fe

Ring. It's a family ring, John. And you don't come

Mister Murphy... So, I should be damned if I'm going

to be dissuaded... by something as ugly as political

corruption. So, I'd like you to take your threats

and your sheriff... and get off my property!

MURPHY:

STEVE:

He ain't all there, is he?

CHARLEY:

Well, he's there enough to be dancing with a pretty

gal... while we sit around here pulling our

tallywhackers.

McCLOSKEY

Damn Straight.

TUNSTALL:

We have to expose this ring, Alex. Can you get me in

to see the Governor?

ALEX:

Murphy's beat us to it. And he brought the Governor

a nice fat campaign contribution. They're lightening
