Horizons West Page #5

And from the South.

But none of us are

soldiers any longer.

Also among you

there are men who are

deserters from the Army

for one personal reason or another.

Others among you may be wanted

by the law on various charges

and are now facing

an uncertain future.

I came here to tell you

that we can all make it

a little more certain.

For you and for me.

I need men who can ride hard,

shoot hard

- and live hard.

- That ought to be easy.

What are the wages

for this kind of work?

You're going to get loyalty from me.

And that's what

I expect to get from you.

That ain't enough.

What about wages?

If Dan Hammond says

he'll give you loyalty for loyalty

it means you'll get more money

than you ever made before.

Thank you, Dandy.

And to that

let me add one last thing.

If you men decide to go with me

this is the last night you'll ever

spend hiding in a river bottom.

Make up your minds.

Dandy!

Get those strays.

- 5000 dollars for French wine.

- Check.

- 50,000 dollars for diamonds.

- Check.

Of course Monsieur Auriel,

20,000 of French silk

percentage to us 4500 dolares.

4500 dollars?

Why?

To buyers here I've sold

champaign, jewelry, perfumes...

and General Escobar's

percentage has always been 20%.

What is this 22.5%?

- General. Please.

- Good afternoon Mr. Auriel.

Good afternoon General.

- Sr. Hammond.

- General.

Please mi General.

What is this 22.5%?

It's like Lt. Salazar says:

4500 dollars.

Fernandez, the Cuban,

Hiller, the German, and Lopez

bring goods to you. They sell.

But always it is 20%.

It's Escobar's new rule.

French silk now

5000 dollars cash.

But you said 4500 dollars.

Yes I know, but you talk and talk.

You waste my time.

5000 dollars cash.

Alright. I pay.

It is a good thing for you

Escobar make a place like Zona Libre?

But for me it is very expensive.

I have to pay my police,

my other helpers, everybody.

And nobody helps me.

It costs very much to make this army

and I have to take care of my people.

And I do!

That is why we make me the General.

- Right Salazar?

- Yes my General.

You see?

Auriel, you and I,

we won't have any trouble.

I hope so.

- Good day and thank you.

- Good day General.

And remember you are

always welcome here.

My friend Hammond!

How are you man?

A long time no see you.

General, you look magnificent.

What? This uniform?

This nothing.

Maybe I make one for Salazar

next week.

Thank you, General.

- You like it?

- Yes General, I do.

- But without the hat.

- Thank you, General.

A chair for the gentleman.

My friend Hammond,

how have you been?

Fine General.

And you?

Business has not been too good

but I think it will pick up.
