- I see.

- No, you don't.

If you did, you wouldn't come along.

But there are only seven of them.

That we know of.

With this much money up for grabs...

likely they've got every two-bit gunman

in the territory along.

Maybe I should go to the railroad.

Maybe you should, at that.

Thanks for the drink. I'll tell the boys.

Can't that wait until morning?

Why should it?

I might change my mind.

Again?

I'm a woman.

And I'm out two train tickets

and five friends.

Let's let it go at that.

There's a train due

through here tomorrow.

I'll put you on it.

Good night, Mrs. Lowe.

Mr. Lane.

Boil it.

Yeah. I'll boil it.

- Stay with him, Jesse.

- Come on, Jesse.

Grab him by the tail!

I think them boys will need a hand.

They'll need more than that

if that stuff blows.

Show him who's boss, Jesse.

- Come on, now.

- Hang on to him, Sam!

Whoa, son of a buck.

Don't you think

we ought to put this on a gentle one?

This is the gentle one.

Hold on to him!

Goshdarned mule!

- He's had it. He's all right.

- Okay, I got him.

Do you mean to tell me

you're gonna trust that jackass?

They get kind of rank

when they ain't had a pack on in a while.

- He'll be all right.

- Ain't worried about him. It's us.

He'll settle down.

Here, hold this.

How'd you like

to draw into a pair like that?

Guess you don't

get to town very often, Calhoun.

Go on, take a good look.

But from here on in...

you'd better be looking over your shoulder

if you want to stay alive.

All right, Jesse,

get her on a horse and point her south.

Yes, sir.

- Give him a hand with the mules.

- We ain't no mule packers.

- You will be by the time you get back.

- lf we get back.

Do you see that knot-head

packing that dynamite?

Do what you're told, Cal.

- Yeah, but...

- Calhoun!

There will be one boss.

Now go help with the mules.

Just like old times, huh?

Like hell it is.

- Ready?

- Yes.

Let's go to Mexico.

You afraid of the dark, Jesse?

- Fire's going out.

- Let it.

- Something wrong, Lane?

- Thought I heard something.

I guess not.

Just my old heart pounding.

Gets to doing that

when I'm around a good-looking woman.

- Want some more coffee, Mrs. Lowe?

- Thank you.

Coming up.

Lane tells us you got a little boy.

How old is he?

- Six.

- That's a good age.

What do you call him?

Matt. It was his father's name.

- Sorry, didn't mean to bring it up.

- It's all right.

No, it's not all right. I talk too much.

That's the trouble

with always running around wild.

You get kind of starved

for female attention.

You get near a woman, start talking,

and next thing you know...

you say something wrong

and hurt somebody's feelings.
