"Shipped and sold,"

Consolidated says.

Brennan's got no choice.

There's a job to be done.

Hyah, hyah!

Crazy animals,

they don't wanna be herded.

Sonny, Shorty,

get around in front of them.

Hyah!

Shorty's in trouble.

You ain't going nowhere! You either!

Hoo! Ha!

You're gonna break a leg someday

doing that.

- I got two.

- Hyah!

Oh, hey.

We did it.

You goddamn accountants,

we did it.

- Hey, Monte, can you do that?

- Why, sure.

Well, then let's see you do it.

Well, I just did.

What are you talking about? I...

You got off your horse,

I got off my horse.

You're standing on the ground,

I'm standing on the ground.

Ain't that right, Chet?

I guess we all did it, Shorty.

Take the horses in, Shorty.

Ha, ha. Come on. Let's go.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Eagle.

Good afternoon, Mr. Rollins.

Who's behind?

The hardware widow.

Sure wouldn't mind

hammering a nail into that.

You mind your tongue.

What'd I say?

Ain't you ever read the Bible?

Well, I don't remember reading

nothing about hardware widows in it.

I'm going to the music hall

and have a drink.

Chet, what does it say in the Bible

about hardware widows?

To treat them kindly.

Well, maybe hammering a nail

into the hardware widow

would be the kindest thing

in world for her, huh?

Howdy.

Excuse me.

Sit in for me, Chet, huh?

Hi, countess.

I can't believe it.

Where have you been?

Now, Martine,

don't tell me you've missed me.

Ah. You need a haircut.

Yeah.

Well, what are we waiting for?

You know, let's go.

You haven't changed much,

have you?

- "What are we waiting for? Let's go."

- Yeah.

What exactly did you have in mind?

I don't know, um...

I mean, you gotta eat,

you know, like, dinner.

Well, countess, I was broke that time.

I told you that.

Yes, you told me.

And stop calling me countess.

I thought all you foreign girls

was countesses.

Just because a woman is a foreigner

doesn't make her a countess.

Hmm?

Anyway,

I have an appointment for now.

I have to leave.

Mm, uh...

That's okay, I'm kind of busy myself.

Maybe I'll, you know, stop around

your place about midnight.

- For dinner?

- Hmm?

For dinner?

I ain't hungry.

Unfortunately,

I have an engagement at that time.

But perhaps

I will cancel this appointment.

- I'll walk you home.

- Just to the door will do.

How you doing, Monte?

Hey, not bad, I'm about,

- uh, $43 ahead.

- Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

- Uh, fold and, uh, deal me out.

- Where are you going?

I said a couple of hours.

It's been a couple of hours, huh?

You can't quit this early.

Oh.

Twenty-five, 30. Ouch!

Thirty-five, 40.

Forty-one, 42, 43.

My, oh, my.

What do you say we go get Shorty?
