Carson City Page #5

you're the engineer.

That's right.

You really think

you can put it through?

I don't see anything

that can stop us.

What about the terrain?

It's pretty rugged country.

That's what

makes it interesting.

Are you against it, too?

Might say

for ethical reasons.

I have a contract

with the stagecoach line.

The owner's a friend. Nothing

in the book against my buying

A drink for the opposition,

though.

Thanks, but Sharon's waiting

for me. We've some work to do.

Don't you go tell him

I tried to bribe you.

No, but I'll keep it in mind.

Goodnight, gentlemen.

Nice fellow.

We better be going.

It would make it easier for me

if you learned how to smile.

You do the smiling.

Being nice to guys

like this is your idea.

Only this time,

it ain't going to work.

You never believe my way will

work, but it always does.

We've never run up against

guys like this before.

We'll still play it

my way first.

"A RAIL PROPOSAL IS

THREATENING CARSON CITY ".

"Plans revealed at a meeting."

"WORKS OF RAILWAY BEGINS

IN SPITE OF PUBLIC OPINION ".

Set off number two.

I've seen hard rock in my day,

but never anything like this.

Wait till we get

those automatic drills.

Look!

Go back!

Go back!

It's a woman!

Get back! Get back!

Yah! Back!

What?

Well!

If I'm not being

too curious...

Are you all right?

I guess so. I just didn't expect

so violent a greeting.

We do things big

out here.

I've really got the touch,

haven't I?

First time I see you,

I ruin your jacket,

And then a whole Mountain

blows up on me.

- What's the matter?

- My ankle.

Our horses are halfway

back to town.

All right, put your arm

around my shoulder.

What were you

doing out here?

Looking for news.

You nearly made some.

I might as well confess.

I didn't come out here

looking for a story.

I came to find out why

you've been avoiding me.

Got the feeling

your father didn't exactly

Have the welcome mat

out for me.

I'm not talking

about my father.

I've been pretty busy.

You don't work at night.

I thought your evenings

would be taken up.

With Alan? We're good friends.

We've grown up together...

Do all your good friends

kiss you good night?

Why, that was just a peck

on the cheek, like this.

You don't call that

a real kiss, do you?

- Or do you?

- I stumbled.

Ah, here comes the wagon.

- Next time I come...

- There won't be any next time.

Why? Just who are you

protecting with all this?

Alan and me, or yourself?

Let's say everybody.

If that fuse would have been

a half-inch shorter,

You two would have been covering

a lot of territory now.

This is hardrock haggerty,

my foreman.

- Glad to meet you.

- Howdy, ma'am.

I'll drive her home.
