You speak English, dont you?

Uh, yes, sir.

Heres your whole outfit.

- Tenderfoot, huh?

- Not as tender as he looks.

If I am not too inquisitive,

will six dogs be enough?

- They will pull the load, All right.

- With me on it?

Well, I dont know about that.

You dont look like a man who knows

much about anything, Mr. Groggins.

Well, I do know

that people come up here

Dont usually make a buggy ride out of it.

They walk or run with the dogs,

Sometimes break trail.

You sure will need more dogs

youre going to ride that sled.

And more dog food.

And a needle and thread.

What for, my intelligent friend?

To sew up the guys thats going to

split their sides laughing at ya!

Once in a while people do laugh at me

But very briefly.

Well, sir, dogs! Dogs!

Uh, bring Flip and Frowsy.

Say, Joe, why dont you show

the honorable Mr. Smith

this beautiful animal?

I dont think so. Hes too savage.

Is that so? Well, just let him out

- Hes liable to get tough, Mr. Smith.

- Let him out, I said.

- Whats his name?

- We call him Buck.

I dont like to take the responsibility,

Mr. Smith.

Thats why you'll never amount to much!

What are you asking for him?

Uh, 250 bucks.

Sold. Let him out.

So your names Buck, eh?

Youre tough, huh?

Hey, wait a minute.

That dog cost me a lot of money.

- I pay for my pleasure, Mr. Groggins.

- Wait a minute.

That dog belongs to me.

I bought him, Smith,

and I dont allow my dogs to be shot.

That is, of course,

unless I shoot them myself.

Thats All right.

I'll give you twice what you paid for him.

Hes not for sale.

Just as you say, my good man.

Just as you say.

Well, what others have you?

- Uh, here. Hitch em up.

- These two will do.

I ordered a collapsible bathtub from Seattle.

Did it get here?

Its a bathtub!

You sweet meats. Youre losing your home.

Easy with ye.

Come on. Out.

Come on. Come on. Come on, Harmony

Here ya are, Mr. Smith.

We thought it was

something to pile wood in.

The only bath a person gets up here

is by the sweat of the brow.

How interesting.

Mush!

Been a great pleasure, gentlemen.

A great pleasure!

Nice guys.

Well, I dont like to see a

dog killed either.

But after All, 250 bucks is 250 bucks

All right,

I told you Im buying him, and I am.

- We aint got no time to fool with him.

- Quiet, quiet.

Whose money is this?

Listen, you, youre my dog,

and Im your boss.

The sooner you learn that,

the easier its going to be for both of us.

Ho! Ho!

Right there!

Hey!

Go on! Get back there!

Whatd you bring this baboon along for?

- That big guy dont like him!

- Thats just too bad! He'll learn to like him!

- Come on! lets go! Mush! Mush!

- Get your teeth out of him!
