Western Union Page #4

Good night... both of you.

Thanks for dropping by.

Good night.

-Adis.

-Good night.

I didn't have a chance

to tell you before...

but you did all right today

on that bucking horse.

That wasn't so bad.

They gave you the worst critter

in the lot.

You always do that with every

tenderfoot, don't you?

Depends on the tenderfoot.

Well, I'm sorry I disappointed

all of you...

but I was riding horses

before I could walk.

-Good night.

-Good night.

You going my way?

A transcontinental telegraph line...

has long been the dream

of Americans.

Now it is to become a reality.

A great reality

that will eventually...

triumph over hardship

and privation.

It now gives me great pleasure...

to present the chief Engineer

of Western Union...

Mr. Edward Creighton.

Hurray!

I've just received a message

here, which...

better than any words of mine, will

explain the urgency of our task.

"Allow me to wish you Godspeed

on a journey...

that will do much to help this Union

in its hour of greatest need.

It is imperative

that our Government...

have quick communication

with the West."

The message is signed

"Abraham Lincoln".

Let her go, boys.

You're happy, aren't you?

Every man is when his dream

begins to materialize.

I know.

It's things like this that make some

women wish they'd been born men.

Well, don't forget

you've got a job to do, too.

-Goodbye, Sue.

-Goodbye, Edward. God bless you.

Something tells me I'm going

to miss dear old Omaha.

Me, too.

I hate to say it, Miss Creighton,

but I'm afraid this is goodbye.

Goodbye, Mr. Blake.

You'll take care of my brother,

won't you?

I'll do my best, ma'am.

Don't you want him to take care

of me, too?

I'll do that, too.

-Adis, Miss Creighton.

-Goodbye!

I'm leaving Cheyenne

I'm off the mountain

Goodbye, old Paint

I'm leaving Cheyenne

Goodbye, old Paint

Hey!

Hey!

Stop that hollering

and watch where you're going.

Five miles from Omaha

and I'm a cripple already.

Come on there.

Men, we're doing fine.

Eleven miles in two days...

but we've got to do better.

This is prairie country. We've got

to make every minute count because...

soon we're gonna hit the hills and

we're liable to run into trouble.

Now that's all. Let's turn in now

and get a good night's sleep.

Tomorrow we'll get at it again,

bright and early.

Steady.

Steady.

-Hello, Mr. Shaw.

-Evening, Miss Creighton.

Well, I didn't expect to see you.

Is there anything wrong?

No, nothing wrong.

We're just a few miles out...

...so I sort of thought that...

-Good.

-Sit down.

-Thanks.

You see, I had some unfinished

business here and l...

Good evening, Mr. Shaw.

I had some

unfinished business, too.
