Howdy.

Hi.

Hi, sir.

Nice day for drinking.

Wasn't it?

What'll you have?

I'd like some information.

We sell liquor here, boy.

I'll take what he's having.

Do you know where I could find

a Miss Cora Lee Collins?

She works here at night.

If you're still here by then,

you'll see her.

You should have a wick in this.

What's the matter,

don't you like the liquor I'm drinking?

Yeah. It's okay.

Why don't you drink it?

That'll be 50 cents.

Here's your change.

Lucky I didn't have a bigger bill.

I hit it. Struck it rich.

The drinks are on me.

Hooray!

What'll it be?

Some of that.

You drink that all the time?

Ever since the goat went dry.

A man like you needs protection.

Now my company is willing to bet you

on how long you're gonna live,

and we'll take the short end by betting you

you'll live a long time.

Really?

That's the Plymouth Rock.

Fill them up again.

Where do I make the bet?

You just sign right there.

And the bet's on as soon

as you pass the physical.

How are you fixed?

Hey, Grigsby!

You double-crossing varmint!

You jumped my claim!

He'll never pass the physical.

All right, drink up, everybody.

Anybody doesn't drink with me is a dead man.

Well, what're you gonna do?

I can't play. I don't have any money.

That's better than money.

Well, as long as it's a friendly game.

I'm out.

Me, too.

I pass.

Me, too.

How many?

I'll stand pat.

I'll suffer through.

Give me three.

Three.

Give me three cards.

I just gave you three.

I didn't like those.

That's better.

Now give me two.

Hope you find something you like soon.

I'm running out of deck.

That's fine. I got

all I need now.

What do you do?

I think I'll take one.

You was pat.

Yeah.

Fair is fair.

Anything I can't stand,

it's cheating at cards.

Me, neither.

Another thing I can't stand is killing.

Well, now, killing in this

town'll get you 90 days.

Cheating'll get you shot.

That's what I like.

Law and order.

I bet two stacks.

I can't go any further.

I haven't got any more money.

Why, sure you have.

What're you fellas with, a laundry?

The pants.

I didn't think the stakes were that low.

All right, there you are.

I call you.

Four queens.

Wait a minute.

I didn't see 'em.

Mister, if you don't find

four queens in that deck,

I'll give you your money back.

Hold it.

I got you beat anyway.

I got four kings.

All right, let's see 'em.

I said, let's see 'em.

There.

If you don't find four kings in that goat,

I'll give you your money back.

Why, you cheating tinhorn.

Hold it.

Don't anybody make a move

or I'll blow my brains out.

You've all had your little joke.

Now I'm giving the orders.

Okay. Give me my shirt.
