Jubal Page #4

What about me? Do you care what I think?

He wanted me to congratulate you,

didn't he?

We're ending this before it starts, Mae.

- Are we?

- That's right.

I got it all the way from Saint Louis.

A waltz, never been played.

Jube, you called me Mae.

Another mountain lion.

I think they're hunting in packs.

That's number five since we left the ranch.

Consarnit.

I'm going into town

to post a reward for bounty hunters.

We sure can't take time out

from the roundup to go hunting cats.

And from now on Jube Troop's foreman.

- Since when?

- Since now.

Any questions?

Yeah, I got a question: Why?

Because I trust him, Pinky.

- Any other questions?

- Nope.

Okay, Shep.

Well, now, I just guess we'll have to wait

and see how he works out.

Yeah. That we will.

You can make your first report

to the ranch tonight.

I'll see the rest of you

at Cattlemen's Bridge camp in the morning.

All right, we'll split up.

You two take the canyon track

to Cattlemen's Bridge. I'll meet you there.

Come on, Carson.

The Bar-Eight boys

have picked up some of our strays.

Go and get them.

I don't know. Maybe you got too big

for your britches too soon.

Could be. We'll have to wait and see.

That's right. We'll have to wait and see.

Hey, Pinky, look out for mountain lions.

I thought sure I seen one of them

steer-killing cats.

That just goes to show you

how easy it is to make a mistake.

Yeah, it sure does.

You seen Pinky?

Maybe he's with them Bar-Eight hands

I seen...

Are you headman here?

I'm going to tell you something, old man.

You've got about five minutes to hitch up

and move off here, and keep moving.

All of you.

We're God-fearing people.

We don't travel on the Sabbath.

I'm gonna tell you what you're gonna do.

If you don't move off the land...

then you better start digging holes in it

to bury yourself in...

one apiece.

They mean it, Shem. They'll shoot.

We're doing no hurt.

We've got sick people here.

Now look, you deaf?

I said hitch up and move off!

- What's going on here?

- Who is this guy, Pinky?

- It's Shep's new foreman.

- Who are they?

A bunch of the boys

from the Bar-Eight ranch up north.

Why are you shooting? What have

these people done that was wrong?

They're Rawhiders. They'll steal you blind.

We're just trying to run them off.

My people don't steal.

We keep the 10 Commandments.

What do you do

with the 10 Commandments?

You sell the 10 Commandments

so you can eat? Now how do you live?

By helping others as we go...

and loving our neighbors like it says

in the Good Book, mister.

Sometimes, the hardest commandment

to keep...

but anyways, to put it simple,

we believe in love, not hate.
