Texas Page #2

You've got a good memory.

- I'll bet it on you.

- Thanks.

- What's your name?

- Dan Thomas.

We'll tell them Texas Thomas. Get ready.

All right, get him ready.

You're crazy to do this.

Henry's a professional fighter.

He'll beat your ears down.

- We got $50 to take us to Texas, haven't we?

- Yeah.

- Hold on to it.

- All right.

I told you folks we were gonna have a fight.

Introducing the champion

of the Lone Star State:

Texas Thomas.

Do you think that this is another one

of Windy's tricks?

Work him around to this corner.

We'll take care of him.

This is going to be a decision fight, gents...

according to the London Prize Fight rules.

There'll be no biting in the clinches.

When a man goes down...

that ends the round.

If he can't come to the center of the ring

and toe the mark inside of 30 seconds...

he loses.

- Are you ready, Texas?

- Yeah.

- Are you ready, Henry?

- Yep.

Let her rip.

Let me at him. Leave me at him.

What's going on here?

He grabbed Dan's foot.

You do that again

and I'll take you apart myself.

Get back there and let's get this fight going.

I'll bet you all thought it was real,

didn't you, folks?

Just a little entertainment I put on

between the rounds.

What did you let him see you for?

Round two coming up. Time.

Where's Tex? Where did he go?

Anybody see him?

Windy, here he is.

Come on, get up here and fight.

I'm all right, Tod. Don't worry.

Good boy, Tex. Go get him.

Wait a minute, Danny.

Wait a minute, Danny. Come on.

Time!

More water. Some more water.

Round four. Time!

How long is he gonna keep getting up?

Round 10. Time!

Time!

- What round is it?

- Thirty-five.

Round 35. Time!

- I'm getting mighty tired of this.

- I don't blame you.

Are you all right, champ?

- Why don't they start the fight?

- Time!

Danny, are you all right?

Tex, do you want to quit?

- What happens to your bets if I quit?

- I win, of course.

You what?

You didn't really think I'd bet on you,

did you?

Round 40. Time!

No, but I'm gonna make you wish you had.

Let him fall!

Let him fall!

Come on, Tod.

- I guess we lost them.

- Yeah.

- You feel all right?

- Yeah.

That $50 makes everything all right.

- Danny.

- Yeah?

- We haven't got that $50.

- What?

- I bet it on Dutch Henry.

- You what?

You sure don't have to be told

what state this is.

Too big.

Do you realize we've been riding a week

without seeing a single human being?

It's kind of quiet and peaceful, though,

after coming through that Indian country.

Right now, I wouldn't even mind

seeing an Indian.

You'd think people would hang out a sign.

If we keep on going,

we're bound to hit something.

All right, everybody, out of that coach,
