Hello, Heck.
- Stop that!|- What did I do?
Never mind what you did.|Don't do it in here.
- Can I pick you up in an hour?|- I think so.
Too bad, because Heck won't be there.
- Why not?|- Because if I can't, you won't.
- Still keeping records, eh?|- You know me. Creature of habit.
Here's somebody who wants to know you.|My partner, Heck Longtree.
You'd blush to hear the way|he admires you.
- How do you do?|- Howdy.
Have a chair.
Showing your age, aren't you?
Interfering in a young man's love life.
He's got more important things|on his mind. Haven't you?
Haven't you? Yes, sir, and so have I.
Been considering your problem. Think I can|solve half, perhaps the whole thing.
I know a fellow who's got an overwhelming|hankering for a little old-time activity.
A man would have to be pretty hard up|to want to risk his life for $10 a day.
Ten dollars a day?
Not hard up. Just fed up.
Outshooting the rubes for nickels and dimes.|Takes all the free drinks to put me to sleep.
My partner feels the same way.
- Don't you?|- Yeah.
- I don't think I'd wanna hire a boy.|- Boy? What do you mean, a boy?
Steve, this boy's a good deal|less than green.
- He can't have too much behind him.|- That's where you're wrong.
He's been dogging after me|for better than three years.
Pretty.
Too bad he can't keep it clean.
Boys nowadays. No pride.|No self-respect.
Plenty of gall, but no sand.
- Now, you take that race today...|- What about that race?
Well, at that distance, no horse|in the world could beat a camel.
Are you calling me a cheat?
Well, if he don't, I will.
Go get them, tiger.|You're doing fine. Just fine.
- What do you think, Steve?|- I think he's wonderful.
He'll do. He'll do just fine.
What's the matter, partner?|Your rheumatism bothering you?
I'm used to working with my brain,|not my backside.
- You think you can talk him into it?|- One way or another.
I'd just as soon we'd split it|two ways instead of three.
Kid, you've got an awful lot to learn.
- Good afternoon.|- Good afternoon.
Joshua Knudsen's the name.
This is Gil Westrum and Heck Longtree.
My name is Judd. Stephen Judd.
- I've heard the name.|- We're on our way to Coarse Gold.
Could you furnish accommodations|for the night?
I've got no room in the house, but I have|no objection if you wanna stay in the barn.
Thank you, sir. If you could spare us a|few eggs, we'd be glad to pay for them.
Well, one you can have. Because|the Lord's bounty is not for sale.
- The rest are a dollar each.|- A dollar each?
How do those short-legged chickens|lay eggs so high?
Levity in the young is like unto a dry|gourd with the seeds rattling around.
My daughter, Elsa.
