Joe Dakota Page #4

you're the unbusiest man in town.

How much longer we gonna have to wait?

Cal says it could come in any time.

Mark, let's have round of drinks on me.

I didn't realize it was so soon.

Just like I've been telling Bertha.

Little farmers like me

ain't gonna get rich

no matter how many times

we pick up and move on.

But this time, I think

we're located to stay.

It's gonna be real nice for Sis, too.

Ethel never was pretty enough

to catch herself a husband.

She deserves something outa life.

I think maybe I talk too much.

Come on, bring your glasses,

wine is on the house.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(water splashing)

(Jody humming "Flower of San Antone")

(upbeat orchestral music)

Ho.

Come on.

You go on, I'll be over in a minute.

How do you do, honey?

I saw you outside a minute ago.

Did you go for a walk today?

Jody, wouldn't you feel better

if you came out to the

well once in awhile?

I'd stay here.

Jody, this is ridiculous, you

can't go on not talking to me.

(stranger whistling

"Flower of San Antone")

What's that?

(whistling continues)

[Jody] I knew he'd come back.

What'd you say?

[Jody] I knew he'd come back.

(whistling continues)

He told you this?

[Jody] No, he didn't

tell me, I just knew.

Well, he's gonna be sorry he did.

You stay here.

Sure is quite a town.

It's always empty, except

for one pretty girl.

You're a different pretty girl.

Where's Jody?

Never mind about my sister.

If you think this town is empty,

you're in for an unpleasant surprise.

Wait a minute, I'll go with you.

Cal, Cal, he's back!

[Stranger] Glass of wine, please.

(somber orchestral music)

Wait a minute, Mark.

Thank you.

I don't think he'll be around

long enough to drink that.

[Stranger] Maybe I won't, at that.

You answer a couple of

simple questions for me,

maybe I can leave you for good.

[Cal] Let's hear the questions.

All right, where's the Indian?

The old man, you know, as Jody put it.

[Cal] The Indian doesn't

live here any more.

You mean, he left town?

[Cal] Yeah, he left.

When did he leave?

Oh, two weeks ago, maybe, maybe more.

[Stranger] Where'd he go?

He didn't say.

Do you know where I can find him?

[Cal] No.

Does anyone know where I can find him?

No.

Well, looks like I'll just have to

stick around for awhile.

For what?

Maybe I like it here.

It's a pretty little town.

Nice people, friendly.

Why don't all you folks

have a drink with me?

Why not?

Let's have drink with him.

You remember what Mark told us last night?

Let's show him how friendly we really are.

Where?

Why don't you and Adam see if our friend

would like to join your club?

Sure, Cal.

That's a fine idea.
