Chisum Page #2

I know all about yesterday.

Now listen, Delgado.

I told them then, and I'm telling you now.

And if you don't understand plain English...

maybe there's something else

you will understand.

Dolan, just a minute.

I'm sorry, Seor Delgado?

S, Seor Murphy.

I'm gonna be running a lot of beef,

and I need every drop of water I can get.

I'm sorry.

- Juan.

- S, Seor Chisum.

You and your compadres

can water your herds along the Jicarilla.

It's not much farther,

and it's a whole lot cleaner.

Gracias.

- What are you waiting for?

- Gracias, seor.

John, that's very generous of you.

Buy you a drink?

You've been buying a lot of things

around here lately.

Yeah, I just acquired some land

that's contiguous to your spread.

But, what the hell?

Half of New Mexico territory

is contiguous to your spread.

Let me have my bottle.

John and I are gonna have a drink.

- Nope.

- Why not?

- I don't like you.

- You don't know me.

I know Amos Patton.

We may have to be neighbors...

but I don't have to be neighborly.

I heard you ran into some trouble today.

Can I do anything for you?

Brady, aren't you standing

on the wrong side of that badge?

I'm the new sheriff, duly appointed.

Noon stage got in, Mr. Chisum.

What do you think, Pete? 4:30 p.m.

Old Jeb made good time. Whiskey.

- Mr. Chisum, if I can do anything for you...

- Not likely.

Sheriff.

Your name John Chisum?

- That's right.

- I thought so. My name's Alex McSween.

My wife and I came in on the stage

with Sallie.

That's very nice. Where...

She went over to that stable over there.

Much obliged. Pepper. Pardon.

- What's she doing in there?

- How should I know?

- Uncle John. You got $50 on you?

- $50?

Thanks.

- You're welcome, and hello!

- Hello!

- She's your niece.

- Yeah.

Uncle John, meet Bernard.

Bernard?

- You gave $50 for this horse?

- Meet Pepper.

No, $100. I had $50 on me.

I've been thinking about having

my own horse again since I left Baltimore.

You know,

we have a few horses at the ranch.

But those are yours. This one's mine.

- Half yours.

- I'll pay you back the $50.

How about just paying me back?

Cass'll take care of your bags.

Which are yours?

- First one there.

- I see you found her.

- Yes.

- Uncle John...

- We've met.

- That's good.

I've invited the McSweens

to that party you wrote me about.

You did? How about you folks?

Have you a place to stay

until you get settled?

That's very nice of you, but...

Sue and I are staying in town.

I'm going to work

for L.G. Murphy and Company.

Yes, I know the company.

If you'll pardon us,

we'd better get underway.

- Goodbye.

- We'll see you Friday.

There sure is gonna be

some interesting people at that party.
