Canyon Passage Page #4

Maybe it's time for us

to buy a few more.

Buy, buy.

Always buy, buy.

Hello, Vane.

Did you stop by at Dances?

Yes.

How is everybody?

Caroline, you mean?

She's fine.

Do you realize you've got close

on $50,000 sunk in this place?

We must be rich.

You ought to have $10,000

laid by for trouble.

What trouble? The

trouble that always comes.

Why do you suppose I came here,

6,000 miles from Liverpool?

This is Jacksonville, Clench,

U.S.A. We sail with the tide.

All Americans think that.

They think the tide

flows forever for them.

But mark me, Logan.

Gold veins run out, crops

fail, men starve, wars come.

And businesses fail. Then we

get a new deck and deal again.

So you'll buy the mules?

What happened to you, Logan?

We waited supper for you.

I thought you and George

would want to be together.

Why, Logan, that's

a very tender sentiment.

George, when is this girl

going to marry you?

I doubt

if she knows herself, Logan.

When are you taking me,

Lucy?

George, do you like poetry?

Must I like poetry

to be your husband?

We will be married

when the leaves fall.

You see, Logan. She strings

me up and lets me swing.

You mean the maple leaves

that fall early,

or the pine needles

that never fall at all?

Come on, there's a fight. Fight? Who is it?

I don't know.

What's going on?

There's a fight at the back

of the settlement.

Come on!

You better

get up there, Logan.

It's your friend

Vane Blazer and Bragg.

Come on, George.

Don't never crowd me, boy.

Nobody crowded you.

Oh, you're calling me

a liar.

Stand up to him, Blazier.

Yeah. Let him have it.

I didn't call you a liar.

I'll bust you up

proper, boy.

Having a little trouble, Vane?

Hello, Bragg.

Logan, my friend,

how are you?

I hear you've been away.

I'm here and there,

I'm a restless man.

I've been away, too.

You have?

Well, you're a restless man

like me.

I notice

you're favoring your left leg.

A horse threw me.

It couldn't be you fell

through a window by any chance?

Oh, let's get on

with the fight.

See you sometime, Logan.

Well, by gum,

it was a freeze out.

Come on, Vane,

buy you a drink.

Never mind.

I can fight my own battles.

That was quite a surprise.

More of a disappointment

to the boys, I'd say.

What can you expect from

people living in the wilderness?

What's wilderness

got to do with it?

Everything, I think.

What do you say, Lucy?

Some men are more primitive

than others, I guess.

Some men

just fight it harder.

Put his weight on Honey Bragg

and he broke.

I'd say bent.

Well, broke or bent,

what do you make of it, Hi?

You're a lawyer, Jonas,

you figure it out.

I'm glad

you enjoyed the trip, Lucy,

but it's great
