two numbers on them. Sixes and fives.

We'll play with my dice.

And when you lose the $20,

I'm throwing you off the train.

And you do the shooting.

Come on.

Now, wise guy,

this $20 will get us no place.

Wait a minute.

Let me see those dice.

How am I gonna explain this to my wife?

Same way I'm gonna explain it to mine.

The old man

made it as fast as we did.

Let's give him the $20

we took from him. Come on.

We can't catch up to him.

I'll mail him the money.

Wait a minute. Where are you going?

I'm gonna give the old man the money.

Come back here.

Wait a minute, old man.

We've got your money.

Boy, the old man sure will

be surprised to see us.

Yeah. Will he be surprised

to get his money back.

Yeah. Hey, mister.

What happened to the old man?

Those dirty crooks, they

must have stolen the wagon.

Indians!

More action! More action!

More action!

More action.

How can a thing like this happen? Maybe

Custer hasn't finished his last stand.

If they catch us, will

they scalp us? I don't know.

More action!

Saved in the nick of time.

No driver.

Get in the driver's seat.

Grab the reins.

Get in there. Hurry up.

Get out of there!

Get out of there!

Cut!

Cut!

Cut!

We lost them.

That was a narrow escape.

You can stop the horses now.

The greatest Indian fight ever to be

filmed ruined by a couple of idiots.

Who are they?

What are they doing here?

Somebody answer me.

Shut up until I finish!

How's this?

What's the matter, Sergei? My

beautiful picture is ruined.

Killed

just as it was being born...

by those...

They are the ones! They!

The driver's wonderful. Look at him

drive. Get that camera on that action.

Snavely, I am the director.

I will tell the cameraman

what to do. Cut.

Yes, Mr. Toumanoff.

I am the producer.

Keep that camera turning.

Yes, Mr. Snavely.

But it will ruin

my beautiful picture. My epic.

Keep that camera

on that action.

They'll never make it.

It's suicide!

Cut.

That is the greatest stunt

I have ever seen.

I knew you would like it,

Snavely.

But I wanted to surprise you when

you saw it in the projection room.

Toumanoff, that stunt has

never been in motion pictures.

We'll build a whole story

around it.

You are a genius.

Come on, I want to talk

to that little stuntman.

Good.

Hey, you know, a guy could get

killed in one of these things.

No kidding.

More Indians.

We surrender. Will you tell your

brothers not to fight with us anymore?

My brothers?

Yeah.

Tell them not to shoot

any more arrows.

Didn't I, sort of, meet

you someplace before?

I've never been there.

Weren't you with...

No. I was alone.

Are you sure that you...

I haven't been there, either.
