what do you think, theodore?
he looks like a real
live one.come on!
all right!
get him with the rope!
huh? rope him!
well, throw it!
maybe we could head him
off at the pass. mm-hmm.
maybe we can do a
little better this time.
two of diamonds.
jack of diamonds.
three of diamonds.
queen of diamonds.
ace of diamonds.
ten of hearts.
well, how proud are you
of that ace, leonard?
ace bets a dollar. a dollar.
there was a time around here when a
jack high was worth a poke of gold.
i'm in. me too.
i'm folding. well, i'm in.
did the mines dry up? quake
of '65 pinched off the veins,
but the quake we had two years
ago finished us off for good.
hasn't been ten cents' worth of
gold taken out of quake city since.
ace, ten still high, leonard.
bet a dollar. i was wondering
about that name, quake city.
when you build a town on
top of the calaveras fault,
you can figure to get
shook up once in a while.
ten. me too. ain't
that bad, homer.
we've still got two fine
saloons, our own theater...
and the only hook and
ladder this side of chicago.
you planning to settle
down here, mr. donavan?
no, no, no. i'm working
my way to new orleans.
soon as i get a big enough stake,
i'm gonna open up my own place.
first class
too... red carpets,
crystal chandeliers from
europe, two roulette tables.
good evening, gents.
homer.
if you need a haircut,
wintle, my barbershop's closed.
if you're lookin' to sue somebody,
my court's open every second tuesday.
if you want the sheriff, i'm
playin' poker. deuces bet a dollar.
no, judge. it's just that i'm
leaving for san francisco tonight.
san francisco's loss
is quake city's gain.
leonard? the trouble is...
that i'm expecting some
valuables on tomorrow's stage,
and i can't be here
to pick them up.
me neither. oh. yes.
hmm. mayor sharpe?
got a council
meeting tomorrow.
i'm in. what kind
of valuables, john?
well, bless my
suspender buttons.
donavan! i haven't
seen you since, uh...
santa fe?
- right.
when you sold me
the marshal's horse?
right. i was just funnin', donavan.
- the marshal wasn't amused.
well, now, old friend, maybe
i can make it up to you.
two pairs bets two dollars.
like i say, i'm expecting valuables
on the stage. i'm in. like what?
oh, things a person
wouldn't leave lying
around without
somebody responsible...
like yourself... to
keep an eye on it.
there's a game
going on, wintle.
there's your two,
and raise you five.
you couldn't have hit an inside
straight again. i'll call ya.
if you'll claim them for me,
i'll make it worth your while,
besides repaying what i charged
you for the marshal's horse.
it's just till i come back,
governor. are you in or not?
uh... here's five on
account, if you can use it.
i don't know how you
came by five dollars,
but i'll apply it to
your loan at the bank.
it's a deal? it's
a deal. i'm in.
thanks, donavan. thanks.
you won't forget?
- i won't forget.
thanks. all right,
let's see 'em.
hit it again!
- i don't believe that.
welcome to quake city, mr. donavan.
looks like luck's against you.
well, there's one good thing
about luck. it always changes,
and i've got a feeling that
mine is just around the corner.
again?
whoa!
whoa!
well, they saddled up in boston,
still wet behind the ears??
and they made their way
across the wild frontier??
as they sought their
fame and fortune??
their legend up and sprang??
and they soon became
and they called them

an unfortunate misunderstanding
about the children.
