to have you back.

I missed you.

Thank you, George.

Well, see you tomorrow.

You ought to do your kissing in

private, George, and do it better.

I'll ask you again, Logan.

Could you do better?

You brought it

on yourself, George.

Good night.

Good night, Lucy.

Going to play a little poker?

I got to get some sleep,

Oh, it's still early.

I'm off on a trip tomorrow. I'm

going to look for some mules.

Another trip so soon?

If you're not careful,

one of these days

you're going to end up

being a tired millionaire.

Then I'll take it easy.

See you when you get back.

Good luck.

I'm riding on a silver saddle

The moon is my silver saddle

And long before

the stars skedaddle

I'll be with my love tonight

She'll be in the gloaming

Where all heaven beams

Oh, hello, Johnny.

Hi, Camrose.

Ah, say, I know it's after hours,

but I saw a light in your office.

Mind letting me have my dust?

Got some poker to play.

Sure, Johnny, but I'll have

to ask you to wait outside

while I open the safe.

Company rules.

Sure, I know.

The moon is my silver saddle

And long before

the stars skedaddle

I'll be with my love tonight

Me and my old Daisy,

up there in the sky

And my heart beating crazy,

but it's no wonder why

I'm riding on a silver saddle

To someone

who loves me right

The moon is my silver saddle

I'm riding the moon tonight

Hello, Johnny.

How were things

up the Applegate?

Oh, terrible.

All I got for my trouble

was this watch.

Oh, I see.

Yeah, the dandiest thing. I found

it hidden in an old Indian skull.

I'll trade you

a good fiddle for it.

What would I want

with a fiddle?

Well, all you can do with that

is clock the time.

With a fiddle

you can pass the time.

All right,

I'll trade you for that.

Oh no, not my Mandy.

Mmm-mmm, no.

Say, how long does it take

to open a safe?

Come in, Johnny.

There you are, Johnny.

Much obliged, Camrose.

Glad to do it.

Good luck with your poker.

Heads.

Hello, Linnet.

Hello.

Coming up to Lestrade's?

Oh, maybe later.

Uh, you feeling

lucky tonight?

I always feel lucky.

That's my trouble.

I'll see you.

King high straight.

Ace high.

It's too good for me.

And me.

That cleans me.

Of all the rotten luck.

You're a

cleaned chicken, huh?

I'll have to give you

my IOU, Jack.

With pleasure.

Marta, pen and ink

for Mr. Camrose.

Too bad your friend Logan

couldn't be with us tonight.

Oh, he's off

on another trip tomorrow.

Always on the move.

I wish I had his energy.

He came near using some

of it tonight on Bragg.

And Bragg backed down.

What did Logan

want to butt in for?

Well, maybe he didn't want to

see that young fellow butchered.

All you boys wanted to see was
