Barquero Page #4

For a buck a head there must be a lot.

- I'll think of it.

- Yeah.

You're all right, Susy?

Is everything okay? Samuel Smith,

Wright, McAdams, Williams.

A 50 yards apart. Come on.

Come on, boy. Get up.

Nolan, come on.

Hurry up!

Gibson. Gibson. Get up there!

Get on the pier!

Keep 50 yards apart. Hurry up!

Keep 50 yards apart. Hurry up. Come on!

- Hey Jake, I got an idea.

- Forget it. - Yeah, but Jake?

- Shut up, Happy.

- Yeah, I am shut.

Hey barquero!

I wanna talk to you.

- Hey boy... Go fetch him.

- Yes sir.

- Mr. Travis.

- Yeah. - Mr. Remy wants to talk to you.

I heard him. Tell him that I will

be with him in a minute.

- You'll be with him in a minute?

- I know what he wants. There's hurry.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Travis says, he won't talk

to him for a minute.

- Tell him. - Huh?

- Go on. Tell him.

Yes, sir.

- Are you the bargeman?

- No! I ain't him!

- What did he say?

- He is not the barquero.

- Mr. Remy!

- Yeah?

Mr. Travis, the fellow that owns the barge,

he said he will be with you in a minute...

What?

- Did you hear what he said? In a minute!

- Jacob remember, you need this man.

All right.

All right.

Do you have a match?

- You best take two.

- Thanks.

Are you the bargeman?

- Yeah!

- Listen, I want to buy your boat, fair and square.

I got this wagon load of silver here.

Bring it up!

Bring it up!

Look! All this's silver!

For your boat!

If you strike a bargain with me, we'll

cross peacefully, we'll hurt nobody...

- I got your word on that, huh?

- That's right.

- How about it?

- Well, I'll tell you Remy...

I sure got a fondness for this boat,

just as I would have for a good horse.

And I wouldn't sell this boat to any man unless I

really knew he'd love it, the same as I would a horse.

You wanna sell that boat, or not?

Did you ever own a boat before, Remy?

What did you say?

I said you would not sell your favorite horse

to a man who did not know its head from its tail.

What the hell is the head and tail of a boat?

Jake, he has no intention of selling you that boat.

I'll wipe you out!

I'll kill every last one of you!

No trickle of water is gonna stop me,

you hear me?

I will damn this stick and river with

your bodies! Every last one of you!

I swear I will.

- Well, here's my idea...

- You know what to do with it.

Travis.

I think we should seriously consider

let them have the barge.

- Remy has got no reason killing us.

- These kind don't need a reason to kill.

- But do we really hold them?

- Well, we got control of the river and if they cross...

Take them off.

- Maybe you like us to burn the barge, huh?

- And that is a good idea!

- Then maybe they leave. They'd have no reason to stay.
