You're thinking to leave us, Mr. Davis?

I've thought about it.

But I can't.

I keep thinking how you'd be looking

after the Comanches get through with you.

I told you an extra gun

might come in handy.

- I' told you to ride for the river.

- I only thought I...

I'd appreciate if you don't

think at all, Ms. Grey.

It won't happen again.

Well, I'd like a good argument

as much as the next fellow, but

I think we ought to get up

to this higher ground

in case of them Comanches

is gonna try again, huh?

Hey, son...

Let's go catch Mr. Davis's

horse for him.

Yes, sir.

Here you are, ma, I'm

gonna go help Mr. Davis.

All right, son.

You have a good little boy, Mrs. Grey.

Yes.

You sure make good coffee, ma'am.

Thank you.

You know I always did say if I had

to take up with a woman she's...

got to be good cook first, and

then be good looking second.

But I never did have

much good luck with women.

Well, I ran with a few of them

now and then, but nothing serious.

Up until that time down in Bigsby,

about a half year ago.

There was a girl who claimed

right out she wanted to marry me,

and told everybody.

Everybody except her husband.

Well, it came about that close or he'd

hit me in the back with a shotgun.

It makes me shiver,

every time I think about it.

It taught me once lesson, though.

You always check the brand first,

That way you'll know if you run

somebody's else's stock, you see?

- Would you like a little more coffee?

- Yes, ma'am.

How long have you known Mr. Davis?

Oh, a long time.

You know Mrs. Grey, it might

sound kind of silly to you,

but I've been thinking and I've

made up my mind about something.

I'm gonna keep looking for a woman

and she's gonna be just like you.

Same color hair,

same kind of eyes,

all, all the same thing all.

But I ought to have look pretty far

to find one near as handsome.

Oh, it troubles me alright, but when

I get my heart set on something...

Say, like a good bredded horse,

I just know that I don't live with

myself if I don't get my hands on it.

It is not only what pleases me,

you know what I mean Mrs. Grey?

You're gonna talk all day, Clett?

Somebody ought to be standing guard.

You are right.

Who is? You start, huh?

You've never seen one of

them before, have you?

It's a new Henry.

15 shells and one in the chamber.

Brass framing, ready to fire,

"Gordon Sonny" and shoot always.

And the mules are carrying

100 more just like this.

I figure I'd sell them in Santa Fe

over to the Comanches, up there

they will bring up a piece of money.

If I get through.

- And if you don't?

- Well, I'll make it.

One way or the other, huh?

You're meaning what?

The Comanches pay gold for
