height about six feet two,

no hat, around 25 years old."

"Calling all highway patrolmen."

"Calling all highway patrolmen."

How do you do?

Is... uh... Mr Frank Fry here?

No, this is Mr Tobin's ranch.

Oh. Uh... Could I speak to Mr Tobin?

Well, I'll see. Just a minute.

You wait here, please.

There. We've got the ball.

- Throw it to me.

- A young man to see you, sir.

Throw it to me. Where is Daddy's girl?

What did you say, Adele?

- Who wants to see me?

- A young man, sir.

- He came to ask for a Mr Fry.

- Oh.

Well. Have him come out here, will you?

- Yes, sir.

- Throw me the ball.

Here comes your granddaddy.

Mr Tobin will see you.

Follow me, please.

How do you do? I'm Charles Tobin.

This is my daughter, Mrs Brown.

Well, I'm not gonna ask you

to excuse the informality.

We're all informal out here

at Deep Springs Ranch.

- That's one of the rules.

- I see.

Want me to take Suzy?

No, Suzy isn't gonna disturb us at all.

Just let her play right here.

I'll see she doesn't fall in the pool.

Alright.

Well, shall we sit out here?

It seems a shame to go indoors

on such a beautiful day.

Yes, it does.

You wanted to see

me about something, huh?

Yes, sir.

I'm looking for a man named Fry.

I met him up in Los Angeles.

I understand he lives here.

Oh, no. No. Fry, huh?

Frank Fry. I'm afraid I don't know

anybody with that name.

Wait a minute. Fry.

I've heard that name somewhere.

- I just can't place it.

- Uh-huh.

Uh... There used to be a fellow

with a name something like that,

worked around here.

No. No. It wasn't Fry.

Well, I'm afraid you

found the wrong address.

Well, it couldn't be one

of the cowhands, or -

No, I know the names of all my men.

Wait a minute.

My next door neighbour -

"Next door neighbour."

He lives 20 miles from here.

But he may know. I'll telephone him.

- Oh, no, please don't.

- No, no! Not at all.

You look as though

you've had a hard journey.

Too bad if you came

all this way for nothing.

If you'll just wait, we can find out.

Will you see that Suzy

doesn't fall into the pool?

Yes, sir.

Hey. Come here.

Come over here.

Oh, so you're a ball player, are you?

Let me have it.

Come on. Throw me the ball.

Throw me the other one. Come on.

Throw it to me. Come on.

Give me the ball.

That's fine. Fine!

Now, I'll throw it back.

Where are you going?

Uh-oh. Don't do that.

Leave those where they are.

Leave them right there.

Wanna be a good girl?

Put these back where you found them.

No, no, Suzy. The gentleman says

put them back where you found them.

The gentleman knows

that you must be careful

with letters that don't belong to you.

Probably I'm prejudiced,
