I didn't know you'd run into them.
I'm glad you're not hurt.
Yeah, I'll second that.
You must be hungry. I got a large
platter of steaks and apple pie.
Well, well, what are we waiting for?
Kate! Oh, would you do me another
favour first?
Well, I...
- Come with me.
There's someone outside
I want you to help me with.
Another drunk?
- Oh, no, I've handled
my last one of those for tonight.
This is my father, Walt Hardison.
Dad, this is Chris Danning.
How do you do?
- How do you do, sir?
So you the hand Ernie Combs wants
for Rainbow?
You've got good ears, Mr Hardison.
- A cripple's pastime.
Thank you.
The Good Book is also a cripple's
pastime, a very pleasant one,
although some people try to run away
from it. That's very hard to do.
It's your bedtime, Dad.
I think you'd better come in now.
Abbie. Abbie!
When are you going to stop
this sort of thing?
- Nobody saw me.
You let a strange man bring you
home, didn't you?
- I don't remember.
That's the trouble,
you don't remember.
I've told you a dozen times,
drink yourself into a stupor,
but do it in your own room.
I don't want anyone seeing you.
Of course you don't.
Because a respectable wife
keeps nice folks from talking.
That couldn't have been the reason
why you didn't marry that girl
you moved to Brush Flats, could it?
Because it hasn't stopped you from
making regular visits over there.
You and your pretence
of respectability.
And respectable is what
we're going to be. To the people
outside this house anyway.
I've worked too long and too hard
to build up my position around here.
I didn't get married to have
a drunken wife pull me down.
Of course you didn't, you married me
because you thought I was pretty
enough to dress up this house
and wear fashionable clothes
and impress people you could use.
That's why you married me.
Can you blame me
Can you?
Is Miles around?
No, he hasnt come in yet. He spends
most his time at the ranch.
You McKeogh, his partner?
- No, I'm Charlie, Charlie Weatherby,
and there ain't no partner.
Miles left McKeogh's name on the
sign when he bought him out.
I seem to remember the deal now,
quite some time ago.
Oh, not so long ago,
a year and a half.
18 months, eh?
- About that.
Hey, look out there, mister!
Whoa!
Thank you.
I'm going to see Kate for a minute,
you wait here.
Well if I ain't exactly in eyeshot
when you want me, Miss Harms,
just give one whistle like this.
Easier than that, I'll poke my head
in that door of that saloon.
You're sure set on running me down
one way or another.
I extend my apologies, mister.
And to show you I'm sincere,
I'll buy you a drink.
