Go West Page #2

We gotta give you another $1.

No, thanks. I couldn't afford it.

But it's against the law not to charge tax.

- You wanna go to jail?

- I won't say anything if you don't.

I won't say anything, but he might.

- What does he want to keep quiet?

- Nothing.

All he wants to do

is to give you another $1.

- He doesn't want $9 change?

- No, he'll take $5 and $4.

Give me it.

He'll take $5 and $4.

One, two.

Here's $3. There's $4.

Five, six, seven, eight, nine.

You know what I say,

I like to do business with you...

because I knew you were honest

the first time I see you.

The cornerstone of my success

is integrity.

- That's right.

- That's the only secure foundation.

That's what I said when I see you.

- When you have that, you have everything.

- Right. I know you're a good man.

I gotta do business.

I don't care about anything else.

You can conduct it another way,

but it's not permanent.

It's not the kind of thing

you can build your success on.

- That has been the climax of my success.

- That's what I said.

It's suddenly gotten very chilly in here.

Well, goodbye.

It seems that I've strayed into

a den of thieves.

However, it's a wise man

that profits by his previous mistakes...

and from herein, gentlemen...

I have made

some other financial arrangements.

It's been nice knowing you, gentlemen.

I'm glad to have made your acquaintance,

and a good day to you both.

- Good day.

- Goodbye.

Come on, Rusty.

Gentlemen, this is Mr. Terry Turner

who has just arrived from the West.

- Hello.

- How do you do?

Young man, I want you to tell these

gentlemen what you told me this morning.

I understand you are thinking

of building a railroad...

from Cripple Creek

north around the mountain.

And I'd like to ask you

to go in another direction.

I'd say the straightest way to go...

would be from Cripple Creek here

straight through to the Pacific.

You expect our trains

to fly over the mountains?

No, sir.

I expect your trains to go through here,

Dead Man's Gulch.

May I ask why you're so interested

in seeing that this land is sold?

Yes, sir. So that I can get married.

I think I understand.

- You own the land.

- No, sir, but my grandfather did.

He being quite a crook, he unloaded it

on my girl's grandfather, Dan Wilson.

Old Dan's been sore about it ever since.

It started a feud

between us Turners and the Wilsons.

And now he won't let me

marry his granddaughter.

If I could just prove to him

that I'm not a crook...

then maybe he could see the light.

After all, he's not a bad old coot.

I think Beecher should leave

as soon as he can to contact...

Dan Wilson, sir.

And arrange for the purchase

of the Dead Man's Gulch.
