For 25,000

you can start a cotton mill.

I got a little deal I can fix up

for you for only 50,000.

Col. Grayson was telling me

the fastest way to make money...

The fastest way to make money

is right here in this game.

Who's gonna open?

- 100.

- I'll stay.

- And I.

- See you and up you 5.

Hello, dear.

Please don't get up gentlemen.

- I believe you know everyone but...

- Hello Major?

You've met before?

Yes. As a matter of fact the Major

insulted me in a very nice way.

That's a new kind of technique.

I'll have to try it sometime.

I'll see your raise Major.

Excuse me Mrs. Hardin.

How much have you got there?

2400 even.

You look beautiful tonight darling.

And raise you 5000.

That's too good for me.

- I'm out.

- Me too.

I don't have that much with me.

Cards?

I'll play these.

I'll take two.

Full.

Full house, kings high.

Aces high.

I'll expect the 5000 tomorrow.

5:
00.

I'm afraid that's too fast.

When can I have it?

You'll have to give me

a little more time.

I don't like that answer.

I'll get it as quickly as possible.

That's the best I can do.

I have a couple of ranches.

Paradise can use

an extra cow hand.

You can work it out.

Report to my foreman tomorrow.

If you don't mind I'd like

to work it out in my own way.

You've stepped out

of your class tonight.

You're a farmboy.

You were born a farmboy

and you'll end up as one.

On top of that you're a welcher

and a smart alec.

Now get out of here.

I had that coming

this time.

Gentlemen.

Lorna.

Fix me a drink.

- Somebody's coming.

- Scatter.

Keep riding Mister,

right into the light.

Get off your horse.

Drop your gunbelt.

Start walking.

- Who are you?

- A friend.

- Where are you from?

- Austin.

What makes you think

you're wanted around here?

Whatever you want, say it fast.

Who's the spokesman for all you men?

We all do the talking here.

Let's see what the gentleman

from Austin looks like.

Look what we found.

A dude from Austin.

You two are awful tough

with all that artillery.

Better not hit him

with your right hand, Sy.

You want to go first?

Go get him Sy!

That a way!

Hit him Sy!

Give it to him!

Sy!

Come on Sy, let's keep it clean.

Major, I always enjoy

seeing a good man in action.

- How are you?

- Dandy Taylor.

I thought I left you doing

guard duty in Chickamauga.

I want you to meet

the finest major, crackest shot

the toughest soldier

that ever lost a war.

Major Dan Hammond.

What are you doing here?

I heard about you men

being down here.

I came to talk to you

about making a living.

- A living for all of us.

- And he means all of you.

War's over you know.

Yeah?

You wouldn't think so.

I see soldiers here from the North.
