- Four|- Pair of jacks.
Two sevens.
Nothing.
Jacks bet.
Call.
Play for fifteen.
I'm out.
Call.
Out.
Bust.
- Five.|- Fold.
Deal me out.|I'll be back for the next turn.
Same game, five card stud.
But...
...when I deal, I like to start|with all fifty-two cards.
There's only one thing worse|than a crook, that's a clumsy crook.
Keep the money,|just give me my horse.
- You'll get your horse and a rope.|- No, hey...!
- Who was shooting?|- It turned into a hanging party.
- Hanging who?|- The new man, for cheating.
You kick a cheat out of town,|not lynch him.
What the hell are you doing?
Hey, George.|Wake up and get out here.
Lay still, boy. Come on.
Get him up to his room. Let me know|if he needs anything, except brains.
How come you didn't hear|when they dumped me there?
I sleep pretty good sometimes.
No questions about last night?
I knew what was gonna happen,|and it did.
They weren't just five men, they|were a mob. I tried to stop them.
I believe you.
When a gambler lets his game|wind up in a killing,
pretty soon he don't have a game.
What about you?
Was there a game downstairs|after I closed up last night?
Maybe you're right at that.
But I don't know, I can't swear to it.
You know, I always wanted|to bust into that glass
to find out what your hole card was.
What do you think it was?
Ace of diamond.
I think you had your royal flush.
So did the other man.|But he folded, so he never found out.
- Where you heading?|- Anywhere, to leave this place behind.
But first I got to deliver a message.
- Finish packing for me?|- All right.
- Morning, Mr Evers.|- Hello, Van.
Stoney, Mace. How are you feeling?
- Never better.|- Same. How are you?
I'd say come and visit me,|but I know better.
- My daughter's in, go on up.|- Thank you.
What are you doing out in the sun?|You sleep all day.
- I had to get up early to pack.|- Pack?
You're always coming or going.|When will you decide to stay?
People who stay have no place to go.|Where's your brother?
If you're going to say|goodbye again, say it.
- Goodbye.|- Say it properly.
All right... There.
That was one wore-out,|no-account kiss.
How was that?
Fine, but you wasted it.|I don't plan to come back this time.
It wasn't wasted.|You enjoyed it. And you'll be back.
Nora, you're the most foolish thing|in the world, a good woman.
Why foolish?
She'll push herself up against|a man till he forgets she's good.
- Then she expects marriage.|- How else would she end up?
With me she could end up|picking hay from her dress.
Wanna bet?
Don't gamble on my better instincts.|I don't have any.
I just have instincts.
Nick!
Nick! Van wants to see you.
Here I am. How do I look?
From up here, just about right.
You two have been fighting|each other for years.
What's your reason this time?
We don't need a reason.
I got one. I don't like him.
Do you think about|that card player much?
Just all the time.
Big mistake,|getting wound up with a gambler.
- You gamble right along with him.|- But not for a living.
What do you do for a living?|Sit around till you own the ranch?
Only half of it.|The other half will go to you.
Just giving you|some brotherly advice.
You're not worried about me,|just about yourself.
If Van was my husband,|you couldn't run him. He'd run you.
No way.|I've had a gutful of that from Dad.
You could get along better with Dad|if you tried. And with Van, and everybody.
Why don't they try|to get along with me?
- Hello, Van.|- Marshal.
- Any news on the hanging?|- Nothing to hang anybody with.
- I don't even know his name.|- What do you do in a case like that?
You bury the man,|but keep him in mind.
- You're off to Denver. Going for long?|- Depends on Denver.
- Everybody in for Denver!|- Why are you going?
In my business,|you gotta follow the play. So long.
All right, Charley.
Pair of fives. Nine.
- Fives bet.|- I'll bet ten.
From what I read,|you left Rincon too soon.
I don't know. That gold strike|improves nothing to damn little.
You'll miss the easy pickings.
There's no easy pickings|till they get it out of the ground.
There's no easy pickings|in Denver, either.
Ma'am.
- Ma.|- Fred.
There's only one kind|of people I don't like: strangers.
That's not a stranger,|that's progress.
Sure. They tell me he's bringing in|a long mahogany bar.
Real long. When the front end gets here,|the rear end will still be in St Louis.
You stand to lose customers.
The ones I've been getting|I'd just as soon lose.
Whatever happens over there,|my place stays the same:
good liquor,|a few card games and no girls.
- You might lose all your customers.|- Then to hell with them.
My name is Jonathan Rudd.
I come from God's House,|just a little way up the street.
The House is ready for use,|to hear God's word.
If He's only got one, I'll be there.
First services will begin|on Sunday morning at 9 a. m.
You're all invited:
the drunk, the sober,|the big and little sinners,
the clean and the unwashed.
The many who'll come to scoff|and the few who'll come to pray.
You can count on me, Parson.
I'm the dirtiest, drunkest,|most sinful fella the Lord ever saw.
There'll be a place for you.|There was a seat for Judas.
Ma'am.
- Deal.|- Who's Judas?
Let's get to gambling.
O, come, sinner, come|there's room for thee
Hark, 'tis God's home
O, come and receive salvation free
Hark, 'tis God's home
