Come on, else Im going to fry up
some bread!!
Hey, harry!!
Goddamn, how long have we been
boiling these grounds?
Tastes awful sour to me.
Well, you can throw them
away after this.
We'll be in del Norte by noon.
We'll buy some fresh.
Hey, arch,
these fish aren't bad.
Needs some salt though.
Well, we arent got none.
That's something else
we're going to have to get.
You set on the coast, Dan?
What the hell?
We got nothing but time.
I'll tell you something.
That is where it's really good,
out there in California.
You got your --
You got your weather.
Your woman are half-Mex,
half-American.
You got your gold...
and oranges...
and the ocean.
They say that ocean looks
like a great blue prairie.
I am not never seen
that much water.
Me neither.
This here's the most water
I ever saw.
Hey, harry.
Did you leave the line set?
Well... never can tell.
You might have something.
He's all right, harry.
He's just young, full of piss
and vinegar, like you was.
Was I like that?
Sure enough.
someplace he hasn't been.
You really want to
go to the coast, arch?
Good as anywhere.
Better than most.
What's your fancy, harry?
Arch! Harry!
Come here, quick!
Harry!
Let me go!
What the hell are you at, anyway?!
Hey, what does he think
he's doing,
Letting her float away
like that?
Been dead awhile, whatever it was.
What do you mean,
"whatever it was"?
It's a little blonde white girl.
You'd be dumping pieces
in your hands
The moment you started
to pull her in.
Hi.
Hi.
find a man to shoe my horse?
Threw a front plate
a mile or so back.
Uh, tell me something, boy.
You always ride around
in your combinations?
Well, I-I got wet
crossing the river,
Thought Id dry out.
Any of you fellows
a blacksmith?
Isnt no blacksmith
that lives here now.
You want any horseshoeing done,
You're going to have to
get it done yourself.
Well... much obliged.
I'm out.
Well, think Ill have a cold beer.
They arent got no beer,
And even if they did have,
it wouldn't be cold.
tequila and one of whiskey,
And they're all grain and bad.
Well, what kind of town is this anyway?
Isnt no blacksmith.
arent no cold beer.
Don't see no girls.
arent changed much,
that's for sure.
You mean
you been here before?
we was here.
Arch had a bad foot.
and broke all my toes.
You fellows made up your mind?
Yeah, give us a bottle of that
double eagle and three glasses.
One eagle, three glasses.
Arch:
well, here's to us.Here's to the coast.
Here's to California.
I am not going.
How's that, harry?
I am not going to the coast.
Where are you going to go then?
Home.
Now, look, harry,
If it's because of me
being so touchy this morning...
am not to do with that, Dan.
Oh.
Maybe there isnt
no such color.
We get to the coast,
it won't be like this.
Where I come from,
There's a guy who knew a fellow
who was on the coast.
Said it was different
from anything you ever saw.
Home is just a place
you start from, arch.
There will be something there.
Think maybe your wife and your
little girl are still there?
Didn't know you was married,
harry, had kids.
Why don't you go to the coast,
make something, send for them?
You go to the coast, Dan.
And when, in three or four years,
You find yourself sitting here
drinking this ride lotion,
You remember how you thought
it was going to be.
The hell with him.
The hell, I say.
We don't need him.
