Well, I've thought it all over...

...and I think I'll just be on my way.

You certainly have got

an active disposition.

-12,500.

- No!

I can't handle it.

I can see right now it's gonna take

at least two more men besides myself.

$15,000.

Mr. Whiskey, that is absolutely

all I have to pay you.

Please say you'll do it.

Please?

I'll pay you half the 20,000 now,

and the other half when you've finished.

I'm damn near finished already.

You have no idea how much better I feel

knowing with your help,

I won't have to go to prison.

Yeah.

I just hope it isn't the other way around.

I think it's wonderful chivalry isn't dead.

- You don't mind if I count it, do you?

- Of course not.

Now, the Bonnie Blue went down

in that narrow channel,

right there where the arrow's pointing.

I'll meet you on the road between there

and Denver a week from today.

By then, you should have the gold,

and I should have the blueprints

of the mint for you.

Good luck.

- Bye.

- Good-bye.

Mr. Whiskey?

It was nice doing business with you.

Likewise, Mrs. Breckenridge.

- Bye.

- Good-bye.

- Howdy.

- Howdy.

You own this shop?

Nope.

This your horse?

Yep.

Did you ever see

a Presbyterian wrestle a bear?

Nope.

I'll bet you didn't know President

Rutherford B. Hayes had a glass eye.

What the hell do you want?

How'd you like to go to work for me?

Nope.

That's $100.

Bet you can't lift that anvil.

On one leg.

Doggone! You did it!

You win the bet.

Now how'd you like to help me get

a quarter of a million dollars

worth of gold bars off the bottom

of the Platte River?

How'd you like to help me get a quarter

of a million dollars-worth of gold bars

off the bottom of the Platte River?

Just you and me?

No, I'm figuring on picking up

a friend along the way.

- I'll think about it.

- Good.

You can leave that here.

Sam!

Good luck.

Thanks.

Mary McCarty was shy as a primrose

Skin was as fair as the dew of the May

And though she was tempted

she never surrendered

Her virtue more often

than four times a day

Whiskey and gin

Whiskey and gin

Mary McCarty loved whiskey and...

I knew a man named George one time.

Used to sing a lot.

They hanged him.

Is that a fact?

Yep.

I knew a wheelwright named Abercrombie.

Looked a whole lot like you.

Had two wives

back in Frackville, Pennsylvania.

One was a Mormon lady.

The other a Baptist.

I used to work for him.

He paid me 25 cents an hour

to make wagon wheels.

I'll tell you something else,

he was mean as hell.

Abercrombie went into the Army

as a captain.

First battle he got into,

an enlisted man named Tom shot him.

That doesn't sound like an accident.
