I found him. Here he is.
Hello, Jeff.
How do you feel?
Proud as I look.
Thanks for bailing me out.
- You broke?
- Flat.
Good. He's your man.
This is William Sharon.
He wants you
to build him a railroad.
The fact is I may not
be ready to start.
Don't be a fool. When I
recommend a man for a tough job,
I know what
I'm talking about.
Thanks, Mr. Crocker,
but I don't want it.
- You don't know what it is.
- You said it was tough.
- All I have to know to say no.
- You've changed.
Sure.
Ever spend six months
Pushing a track
through a swamp
With mosquitoes
as big as your fist?
Let me know whenever you
need a good office man. Thanks.
Daley was right.
It wouldn't work anyway.
Too many mountains to go around
between Carson and Virginia.
Why do you want to build a
railroad in that desolate place?
- That's my business.
- What's your route?
That's the trouble.
There isn't any.
All you have is a whole range
of granite mountains.
There's the big one,
right there.
- How do you know that country?
- I was born there.
You never
told me that.
been back in 10 years,
But I remember that baby
sticking up all by itself.
That was my first
engineering job.
My kid brother and I swiped
a couple of pickaxes and started
To tunnel through it. Broke the
handles before we got 2 feet in
And got a licking to boot.
Always said I'd come back
someday and finish the job.
- How does it look?
- Just as dead as when I left.
- You had a brother here?
- Half brother.
You can look him up
and meet me later.
Haven't seen him for 10 years.
I can wait till I get a shave.
As head of the family I've got
to make a good impression.
How do you spell
"inconsequential"?
How do you spell
"inconsequential"?
Look it up for yourself
so you'll remember it.
You're not fooling me.
You don't know yourself.
I wish dad would use
shorter words in his editorials,
Or else learn how
to spell the long ones.
That's the beauty
of owning your own paper.
Nobody can edit
my copy.
You're not supposed to
hear that.
I... N...
Hmm.
Alan!
Look, it's Jeff!
Jeff!
Jeff!
Jeff!
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't
mean to. I just got so excited.
That's all right.
I'm afraid I don't...
Susan Mitchell.
Don't you remember me?
No. Why,
I can't believe it.
What do you expect me to do,
stay 13 all my life?
Hello, Jeff.
- Alan.
- Welcome home.
Say, you filled out.
Well, people change
in 10 years.
You haven't.
I knew you right away.
I had such a crush on you. I was
Give me your coat.
I'll get the stain off.
There's plenty of time. I'm
going to be around for a while.
