- Why?

- If you cut off a Chinaman's pigtail...

...he can't go to Heaven in their religion.

- That's the reason they're carrying on so.

- It's outrageous, gentlemen.

Surely you would not allow persecution

of this sort...

...to raise its ugly head in this new land.

Look out there, partner.

The Chinese are the oldest civilization

in the world.

We must not be intolerant.

We must respect their beliefs.

We must...

We must get me out of here!

Couple more minutes and he'd been in China.

Lucky you wasn't on Sacramento Ave.

They lost a burro there last week

and ain't found hair of him yet!

- Shall we go on to the Bella Donna?

- Yes!

I hope this doesn't give you

a wrong impression of our city.

Rome wasn't built in a day, gentlemen.

The paths of empire have always started

in the mud and ended in glory.

I shall make that the subject

of my first editorial.

A white woman.

I've got one of the biggest mines

out here, miss.

- I'd be mighty honored if...

- I gotta bigger mine than his, miss.

I was thinkin'

if you might consider marriage.

I'd like to meet the little lady, too!

- This is Jack Holt.

- Speakin' about marriage, miss...

We sure hope you're going

to like it out here.

I'm mighty serious about that marriage,

indeed I am.

- Get back to work.

- Sure.

We're taking out more than 100 ounces

of gold and that's more than...

Ain't somebody going to introduce me?

My name is Louis Chamalis.

I'm very glad to know you, sir.

Thank you.

I'd like that seat.

Well, miss...

...how do you like San Francisco?

I think I'm going to like it very much.

That's fine. I own it.

What's your pleasure, gentlemen?

This is on the house.

I drink nothin' but rye.

Knuckles, bring some wine.

I hear...

...you come out here to marry Dan Morgan.

Yes.

There's no accountin' for taste.

You'd have been throwing yourself

away on him.

You'd have been throwing yourself away.

You ain't told me your name yet.

My name is Mary Rutledge.

Nice name.

I am Col. Marcus Aurelius Cobb, sir.

I'm glad to know you.

- Miss Rutledge is not staying here, sir.

- Is that true?

- Depends on how much I like your town.

- Miss Rutledge, I beg you to reconsider.

Good night, Mr. Cobb.

Hope we'll see you around here often.

Good night, Col. Cobb and thank you.

Ready?

Happy New Year!

- Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.

- I didn't hear you knock, sir.

- I guess that's because I didn't knock.

How do you feel?

I feel like New Year's morning, Mr. Chamalis.

I kinda thought you might,

so I brought you something.

Go on, take it.

We call this a prairie oyster.

It'll make you feel better.

Thank you.

Have you made up your mind
