Western Union Page #3

aren't you?

-Yes, but how'd you know?

-How did I know?

You both have that intense look.

Does the great Western outdoors

do that to you?

No, it's people we meet

from the East.

Some people you meet are going

to insist on meeting you again.

So I won't say goodbye now.

Whoa, there. Whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

There, see?

Thank you very much. By the way,

could you direct me to the hotel?

It's on Main Street.

Take your first turning to the right

and go down two streets.

Thank you very much.

Just a minute, young man.

-Do you know who I am?

-I haven't the faintest idea.

I'm the Provisional Governor

of the Territory of Nebraska.

You are? When you come up

for reelection I'll vote for you.

You don't vote

for a provisional Governor.

He's appointed by the president.

The next time I'm in Washington,

I'll put in a good word for you.

Watch out!

Would you mind telling me what that

was that just passed through here?

That is the son

of tough old Arad Blake...

who made a fortune hauling freight

through the Cumberland Gap...

...in the 30s.

-Arad Blake!

-That?

-Yes.

His father thinks a job with Western

Union'll make a man out of him.

Make a man.

When I was back East, Arad gave me

fifty thousand dollars for the line.

I see. You got

the son with the money.

Good heavens.

Do you see what I see?

Well, here I am.

All ready for work.

So I see.

Where'd you get that outfit?

-In town?

-Oh, no, New York.

I wanted to be sure of the fit.

-Not bad, huh?

-Blake, this is Shaw, our scout.

-How do you do?

-Howdy.

Well, a nice looking bunch of

horses you have here.

Glad you like them.

-Do you ride?

-Oh, yes. Yes, indeed.

Them ain't livery stable animals.

Some of them are pretty wild.

Well, that's the way I like them.

Would you mind

picking out one for me?

I'd be delighted.

Take that black one over there.

-This way, please.

-Excuse-me.

Somebody better call Doc Murdoch.

He don't mean it!

He's just fooling!

Go on! Stay with him!

Whoa! Whoa!

Steady, steady boy!

Whoa!

Steady.

Steady, boy.

Yeah. Nice animal, gentlemen.

You haven't anything else

you'd like me to try?

No.

A little present for you, Homer.

-He's quite a talker, ain't he?

-Quite a rider, too.

-Hello, Mr. Blake.

-Hello.

-My brother isn't in right now.

-That's good.

-Won't you have a chair?

-Thank you.

Evening, Mr. Blake.

Hello.

Well, I guess

I'd better be running along.

So soon?

Well, I just thought I'd wish you

a happy Fourth of July.

But that's tomorrow.

Well, I thought I'd be the first,

but I see I wasn't.

Was that what you came for, too,

Mr. Shaw?

Uh huh.

Well, I reckon I'd better

be going along, too.
