for anyone if you keep talking.

That suits me just fine.

You get yourself another man.

I quit.

There goes Bulldog Burnett.

Just a cowpoke, miss.

Long on muscle, short on brains.

I'll get a good hand

to take Vindicator west.

You can depend on that.

I'm sure I can, Mr. Ellsworth.

Suppose you drop

round the hotel this afternoon...

and pick up your money.

I'm in Room 22.

I've got a business deal for you.

Same kind of deal

you handed Jeff Harter?

I'll give you $500 for that bull.

Is not mine to sell.

Bowen doesn't want it

and neither does Ellsworth.

But I do,

and I'm willing to pay for it.

Ellsworth paid $2,000 for it.

I'm buying a bull,

not female companionship.

All right, I'll go $1,000.

I'll have Mabry and Simons

take the noon train to Dodge...

and meet you there tomorrow.

[Cow mooing]

All right, I'll deliver it.

[Soft instrumental music]

[Knocking on door]

Coming, dear lady.

What in thunder

do you want, Burnett?

ELLSWORTH:
You quit.

SAM:
I want to talk to you about that.

Well, get to it.

I've decided to deliver

that bull to Bowen.

All right, fine.

You get it out of town and

don't bother me about it anymore.

Now look, Sam, be short, be polite,

and then be on your way.

Welcome.

Mr. Burnett is just leaving

to put Vindicator on the train.

Have a good trip, Sam.

MARTHA:
Then you've changed your opinion

about Vindicator?

Well, no, ma'am.

I just thought I'd enjoy the trip

hearing them cattlemen laugh...

about that animal

all the way to Dodge.

I'm sure Mr. Bowen won't laugh.

That bull is a thing

that might tickle him a good deal.

ELLSWORTH:
Give my regards to Bowen.

Have a good trip.

And now, my dear Mrs. Evans...

shall we conclude

our little business?

This calls for champagne.

Meatpacking Romeo.

When that $2,000 is gone,

Martha, you can tap me for more.

I'm going to lay St. Louis

at your feet.

I'm afraid

there won't be time for that.

You see, Hilary and I are leaving

for England tonight.

ELLSWORTH:
But you can't be serious.

I can do a lot for you.

I already have.

Mr. Ellsworth,

I realise that a woman alone...

has to expect some nonsense

from the adventurous male...

but I sold you a Hereford bull,

nothing more.

I buy beef for 10 cents a pound.

I know companionship comes higher.

I'm giving you your money back.

There is no sale.

Is too late for that.

I'm the legal owner of that bull.

You said that Vindicator would be

delivered to your partner.

That was the condition of the sale.

You run out on me,

and your bull will end up...

- on that table tomorrow night.

- He will not.

Vindicator will be used for breeding

in Texas. I shall see to that.

Is getting around train time.
