The Last Sunset Page #2

"Everything that's

mine is yours. "

It's a fine saying.

I'll remember it.

You'll join me in coffee?

Thank you.

O'Malley...

I knew some O'Malleys

in Virginia. Tidewater?

I'm afraid they'd be lace

curtain, my people were all shanty.

After you, sir. Take that

chair right over there.

I take you for a man who's handled

quite a lot of cattle in his time.

Oh, I've done a little

bit of almost everything.

Well, I run about

I plan to trail the herd up

to Texas and sell them there.

Now if you're at

liberty, I could...

Mr. O'Malley

was trailing south.

North or south doesn't make much

difference to me, Mrs. Breckenridge.

There, you see?

I'm sure my wife echoes my sentiments in

hoping you'll join us on the trail, sir.

I don't think Mr. O'Malley

would be influenced by my wishes.

I hope you won't

always think that, ma'am.

I'm sure that's not

what she meant.

Touch up your coffee?

Thanks.

I'm willing to pay you

a dollar a day, in fact.

Plus a $25 bonus when we deliver

the herd in Crazy Horse, Texas.

Crazy Horse?

That's pretty dangerous

country you're going through.

And you need two men you haven't

got. Fast gun and a trail boss.

I don't know any more

about cows than you do,

so if I go as the gun,

where's the trail boss?

Well, I haven't got one.

I wasn't able to find anybody.

I know one. Good one.

Think you can get him?

He'll probably be

here by tomorrow.

Maybe even today.

You think he'll take the job?

He just might.

You see, this fellow and I are

kind of bound up with each other.

But with or without him, my

terms are gonna be pretty high.

Well, you just name

your terms, Mr. O'Malley.

Only two.

First I take

a fifth of the herd.

It's outrageous.

Well, I fight better when

part of the property's mine.

But that's exorbitant.

You think about it.

All right. All right,

you've got your fifth. Good.

Now, wait a minute, you said you had

two conditions. What's the second?

Oh, yes, the second.

I want your wife.

You're joking.

No.

If I get the herd through for

you, I mean to take your wife.

You? You and my wife?

You and Mrs. Breckenridge...

A dirty shirt Irishman

and a Fitzleigh from Richmond.

Yes, I'll accept your

challenge. Yes, indeed.

And you can go to work.

You can go to work at once.

Hold it, O'Malley!

They told me you'd try to circle

around to get the sun in my eyes.

You did a little

circling yourself.

Insurance.

The sun was in Jimmy Graham's

face when you killed him.

I don't remember.

Well, a lot of

people do.

I got a warrant

for your arrest.

I'm taking you back to Frio

County, Texas, to stand trial.

Will you come voluntarily

or will I have to take you?
