What of it?

I wouldn't come too close to this

if I was you.

- You might get burned.

- You're not a very friendly man, are you?

I've been pretty busy.

Keeping out of my way?

- That's right.

- Don't try so hard.

I'll get the firewood.

- I suppose you needed some wood?

- What if I do?

Well, now, how about a little

of what I've been missing?

You know, there was a...

There was a time, not long ago...

when Shep was away, like he is now.

If you needed some wood,

you used to ask me.

Shep catch you doing that, he'd kill you.

Why didn't you think of that the first time?

I think it's time I asked him to kick you out.

You do that. Go ahead.

You tell him. Go on, you tell him!

When I'm saying adios,

I'll describe in full your little bag of tricks.

- You are asking to be killed, aren't you?

- Me? What about you?

Open the door.

Sure.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I broke up your little party.

Don't you ever ask him up here again.

And just remember one thing.

While Shep's away,

I kind of keep my eye on the place.

And remember...

when the house gets cold,

you just call for Pinky.

Don't let her bother you, Jube.

There weren't a man on this outfit...

that didn't pop his eyes

when he first seen Mae.

It sure gets a fella.

He can't sleep nights for a while.

Then he starts to get over it.

He gets over it

because Shep is such a nice fella...

that he feels like he's doing him dirt.

Ain't that right, Jube?

Yeah. That's right.

Every payday it's the same thing.

Dress up, ride into town,

and spend your hard-earned money...

on poker and women.

I suspect cowhands been doing that

for 10,000 years.

Sam, you mean to tell me

there've been cowhands for 10,000 years?

Sure. You think there was a time

there was no cows?

Think those cows

just rounded themselves up...

then trotted themselves

to a butcher and said:

"Here, you, now, you cut

a great big piece of steak out of me?"

Sam, what are you putting on your hair?

"Guaranteed to attract women

and repel mosquitoes."

I think they got it backwards, it should be:

"Guaranteed to repel women

and attract bugs."

Sam, you lovely man.

I wonder why it is

Troop is always the last to quit?

What's he bucking for?

Hey, Jube.

We always knock off early

on payday around here. Kind of a tradition.

I'm just finishing a job.

Well, now, we ain't going to wait for you

to go to town.

You don't have to. I'm not going.

- You ain't going to town on payday?

- Nope.

- Why ain't you?

- That's none of your business...

but Shep asked me to come up to the house

for supper tonight.

Shep asked you to come up to the house

for supper?

- That's right.

- How come he did that?

He ain't invited nobody up there
