hold it right there, mister.

Hey!

Get him, charity!

Bite him!

Get out of there.

Get your hands up.

Shoot him in the leg.

Now, hold on, boy.

I was just admiring your horse.

Is your pa around?

I'm in the business
of buying horses.

Don't trust him.

He's not for sale.

Now back away from that horse.

I can see you have
a special feeling

for this animal, missy,

but these are
extenuating circumstances.

Hold it right there.

I'd be willing
to pay you 10 time

what the animal's worth.

$500.

$500?

That's a lot of money.

More than you got.

He's the only way out of

this territory.

We're not planning on selling.

That's your mind?

That's my mind.

I'll be on my way.

Where you headed?

Over those mountains.

Oregon?

That's right.

Don't do it.

We have to.

Hey, mister!

Maybe we can come to
some other arrangements

between us.

If you let us
ride along with you,

we'll loan you our horse
till we reach oregon.

There's just two of you?

That's right.

You can ride double, can't you?

Yes, ma'am.

Think we can make it to oregon

before the end of the month?

We have urgent business there.

I don't see why not

if we get going right away.

What's your business?

We're heirs to land,

but if we're not

in fort williamson by may 31st,

it goes to the next of kin.

He's the most stingy,
undeserving,

...miserly nothing
in the world.

Besides, he's ugly.

Gets your hackles up, huh?

He gets me that way sometimes.

How come you're
on your own like this?

A fella hired on to help
after grandpa died.

He stranded us
after the wagon busted.

He took more than $40

of our savings to boot.

Just can't trust anybody
these days.

It was an act of providence

you showed up when you did.

Hey!

Whoo!

Come back here, mister!

Told you not to trust him!

Shoot him!

Don't stand
there! Shoot him!

Don't shoot him.

That's our horse he's riding.

What are you kids
doing out here?

We're going to oregon.

Tell your pa to turn back.

It's snowing for another month

- up there.
Who is that man?

A card trickster, robbed
the whole town!

I knowed it all along!

Jason, get the horse.

Should have listened to me.

Greasy, smiling vagabond.

No one's stealing
from the smith family.

Hurry up! Come on!

I'd like to skin him alive,

that two-faced jackal.

If you listened to me,

none of this
would have happened.

He pulled me in with that
sweet-smiling nature of his.

Which way?

Over there.

Hope he drops dead
from anthrax poisoning.

Hope he falls on his head

and loses his mind.

Just one move,

just one little twitch,

and I'll blow your head off.

Shoot him.

You'll have every indian
in the territory on us.

I'd sooner face
1,000 heathen blackfeet

than deal another
second with you,

you verminous creature,
you thieving trickster.

Drop your pants
and put your hands up.

What?

Do as I tell you!

Easy.

Jason, get the horse.

Look, I was planning
on coming back

just as soon as you
got rid of that...

those bushwhackers.

Bushwhackers? Decent
people, you mean...

People you just recently robbed.

You're an unending liar, mister.

Just go ahead and shoot him.

Start moving out.

My whole life's fallen in ruin.

It's your own doing.

Look, there's no
denying it, missy.

Circumstances have forced me...

...to behave less than truthful,

but it's circumstances

and not an evil
nature that's to blame.

Hogwash.

I don't know why
you don't shoot him.

Hey, boy.

Get down on your belly,

or I'll shoot
your leg out from you

right now!

What are you planning to do?

Put as much distance
as I can between us

and your low-evil cunning.

Missy, you can't make it...

Stay back, mister!

Are you crazy?

You better get down
on your belly right now.

You almost killed me.

Your lucky I was aiming
at your head.

Now, jason.

What are we going to do now?

Keep on going.

Turning back now
would be like giving up

on the whole future.

Hope you know the right way.

Straight ahead.

Look at you, zach...

No horse,

no supplies,

not even a rifle.

You can't even talk two kids
into a deal.

You're losing your touch, boy.

Oh... if papa
could see you now.

they just keep on staring.

Just keep on going
like nothing's happening.

Here they come.

What if they start shooting?

We'll stand and fight.

What?

What are you doing?

Let go of my horse.

Give me that back.

My name is holly smith.

I come from a good family.

We're going to oregon.

Let go of my horse this instant.

Jason!

You'll live to regret this
day, you heathen savages.

I'll have
general miles carson himself

revenge this outrage.

What are you saying?

What is he saying?

He wants to know why
you're making me walk behind.

What did you tell him?

I was drinking,
and you're punishing me.

Don't listen to him.

He'll tell you anything
to save his mangy hide.

He insulted me, didn't he?

He said all men
must stick together

or women will rule the world.

That's right, mister.

Hand back that rifle,
butt first.

We're not going to

go through that again, are we?

I'm not fooling.

Slowly.

Back away.

You can't make it over
those mountains alone.

Can't you understand that?

You need me as much
as I need you.

You don't need us, mister.

You just need our horses.

Come on, jason.

Good luck, boy.

Boy, that cooking smells good.

Think he's going to
catch up with us?

He's too mean to die on the way.

What are you going to do?

Depends on what he does.

What do you think he'll do?

Steal the horses
and leave us to die

like the tyrant he is.

He wouldn't do that.

He already did it, didn't he?

He said he'd bring back
the horse.

Now you're falling
for his tricks.

Lie, charity.

I think he's repentant.

He's beyond that.

Not even the angel gabriel
could save his soul.

Ahoy!

Anybody home?

I was just passing through,

and I saw your fires,

so I thought I'd invite
myself to dinner.

Jeez!

Don't push it any farther,

or we'll do what we have to do.

I think you got him.

I couldn't have.

Hey, mister!

Hey, mister!

Are you hurt?

You got him.

I couldn't have.

I think we got him, jason.

What are we going to do?

Keep on talking.
He's fooling.

Maybe we should put him
out of his misery...

Cut off his head,

let the ants eat him.

Maybe we should
bury him in a hole

9 feet deep.

Or maybe we should
dump him in the river.

Tie a rock to his foot

and let him sink to the bottom.

Don't play games, mister.

Lady...

when they gave out hearts,

you must have been sleeping.

If you're a robber and a rat

and you suffer because of it,

it's your own doing,

and it has nothing
to do with us.

You awake?

Yes.

Think we're going to make it?

Of course we are.

That's a silly question.

Wish gramps were
with us right now.

He's with us.

He'll always be with us.

Tell me more about oregon.

Well, it's the richest
land in the world.

Every mountain is
filled with gold,

and the rivers are
so heavy with fish

that at certain times
of the year

you can walk across
on their backs.

There's so many ducks
and geese flying around

the well-dressed ladies
always carry umbrellas

to protect their gowns.

You're pulling my leg.

No, I'm not.
It's true.

I just can't wait
till we get there.

Neither can I, jason.

Neither can i.

Jason.

Jason.

Don't get too far downstream.

She doesn't like the water.

There's a big hole
right there, jason.

Be careful.

You're getting
too far downstream.

Hold onto the horse.

Just...

hey!

Holly!

Hold onto the horse, jason!

Jason!

Hang onto the saddle!

Holly!

Hang onto the saddle!

We still can't let
him ride with us, jason.

Why not?

Because we can't trust him.

There's no telling
when his lower nature

will take over again.

I'm not going on without him.

We got to trust him.

How you doing, boy?

Warming up?

We thank you for
what you did, mister.

Just trying to be neighborly.

It was a brave thing,
and we appreciate it.

I'll let you ride double with me

from here on, if you
want to, mister.

Thank you, jason.

That's very considerate of you.

How come you know how
to speak indian?

My mother was the daughter
of a cheyenne chief.

Really? What was
she like?

Don't remember.

She died two years
before I was born.

You're fooling me.

Beautiful country, missy.

Is she always like this?

Only when she doesn't like you.

They're all the same.

Creatures of emotion.

They can hate you at a drop,

then give them a few kind words,

and they come back
like kittens. Watch.

Have you ever seen a picture
of the czar's daughter?

There's a remarkable resemblance

between the two of you.

She's considered one
of the great beauties

of europe, you know that?

O.k., it's just going to
take a little time.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I'd be willing to.

How much?

How much you got?

$3.00.

You got yourself a deal.

Down there.

You see it?

Good eye, jason.

Give me the rifle.

I will not.

There's a deer down there.

Any shooting will be done by me.

All right, but hurry up.

Come on.
He's moving.

I can't do it.

You got him!
You got him!

Let's go, jason.

Get out of here!

Go!

Jason, come back here!

Stay close to me.
Come on. Come on.

Don't shoot!

Just get out
of here! Go on!

Go!

Ohh!

Come on.

Wait here.

Are you there,
mr. Coop?

Can you hear me?

Is he gone?

No, he's sitting
right here beside me.

What happened to you?

What do you mean,
what happened to me?

Why didn't you shoot him?

You said for me
to get out of there.

That's when I was
up in the tree.

Didn't you see me fall out?

I've never had such
a string of luck.

People trying to kill me,

kids turning against
me, grizzlies,

and I ain't eaten in three days.

You know what that'll do?

That'll drive a man crazy.

But he didn't take the deer.

He didn't?

Nope.

Well, things are
beginning to look up.

Do you have
a religion, mr. Coop?

I was raised a christian.

Are you really a trickster?

I think most people are
at a certain level.

Remember, you can't trick a man

unless he's aiming to trick you.

How come?

People like the idea

of getting something
for nothing.

A trickster affords
them that opportunity,

but all good things
come to an end.

And they lose.

There's a tendency
for that to happen.

How do you do it?

That's the trick.

Could you show me?

There'll be no gambling.

Why not?

Because I said so.

I don't need your advice.

I got hairs on my chin.

I don't care if you're
as hairy as a monkey.

It's when you're
smart that counts.

Jason, she's right.

Tricking and gambling

are like the devil and whiskey.

They'll sneak up on a
man and inflict him.

It's a terrible,
sad thing, a gambler.

He's one of the downtrodden
people of this earth.

You don't look too bad.

Looks can be deceiving.

Believe me,

beneath these smiling irish eyes

is a heart of stone.

You mean the blarney stone.

Check your cinch.

I'll go wake him up.

Mr. coop.

Mr. coop.

Are you sick?

What? No. Why?

I never seen anybody sleep
so late unless they was.

Well, what time is it?

It's light, and
that's late enough.

Where you going?

We're leaving.

Wait a minute. I haven't
had my coffee yet.

I can't wake up without coffee.

You should have
thought of that earlier.

I was sleeping earlier.

You've got 10 seconds,

or we're leaving without you.

It takes longer than 10
seconds to stand up.

Five!

I've never met
a more cold-blooded,

unfeeling man-hater
in all my life.

I swear you enjoy
making people suffer.

We have urgent
business to attend to.

I'm not missing it
because of your laziness.

That's right.

Uncle stingy, right?

Our whole future's at stake.

We're not losing control of it

to some stingy, miserly nothing.

Well, I certainly can
understand that, missy.

Nobody likes living
under a tyrant.

Right, jason?

Do you always get up like that?

Only when I haven't had coffee.

Good morning.

Morning.

You never did tell me your name.

Smith. Jason
and holly smith.

Good common name.

We're special
people, mr. Coop.

Some other people
with lesser names

choose ours as a step
in the right direction.

You don't say.

You should think about it.

Smith.

Zachariah smith?

Coop.

Zachariah coop.

Smith.

Nope. It's got
to be coop.

Zachariah coop!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Are you hurt?

No, I'm all right.

Can you make it back up here?

How's the horse?

It went down the trail.

See if you can catch her.

I'll go.

You stay here, jason.

I'll take the rifle.

Did he get you bad?

No.

Just glad that cat
doesn't like water.

It's just a bunch
of deep scratches.

O.k., put
some of that on it,

then cover it up.

That'll kill anything.

Go on.

Got to hand it to you.

Didn't squeal out or
nothing when he jumped you.

I didn't?

Nothing.

Never saw anyone
so calm and collected.

Well, there's no sense
in panicking.

He went right on
down the mountain.

Now what'll we do?

Just keep right on going.

A good christian doesn't
flinch from difficulty.

He doesn't quote them
by drinking, either.

Medicinal.
Purely medicinal.

You have no
self-respect, mr. Coop.

Did you hear that, jason?

The great grand duchess

of the high pyrenees
herself has just spoken.

We just lost all our food again.

That wouldn't concern
mr. Coop at this moment.

Missy, it has been
mr. Coop

who has fed us in the past,

and mr. Coop
will feed us in the future.

Like I said, when you're
lucky, you're lucky.

Thank you, lad.

Now, onward, christian soldiers.

Stay close. We'll
have no stragglers.

The irish dog dance.

Come, come.
Let's go.

You should've never let
him start drinking.

He's too big for me to stop.

Now what are we going to do?

We'll have to watch him.

The last thing we need is
another responsibility.

Watch out for snow snakes

and eskimo bears.

Maybe we should let him ride.

Better just let him walk it off.

At least he's
going the right way.

Hold it!

Hold it!

We'll camp here.

Angela.

Oh, angela.

Do you think he'll be all right?

He'll be just fine...

until he wakes up.

Uhh.

Ohh.

Ohh.

Uhh.

Thanks.

Good night.

Mr. coop.

Mr. coop.

What is it?

What the heck?

Aw, it just snowed.

It's all piled up.

Where are the horses?

They were over there.

Where?

Over there.

They're gone now.

Snow must've spooked them.

I heard some wolves last night.

There's no wolves
up this high, jason.

Now what are we going to do?

Get off this mountain
as fast as we can.

We can't spend another
night up here.

Wear your blankets.

Holly?

You all right?

You're going to make it.

You don't want
to leave that land

to the stingiest, most
undeserving nothing

in the world, do you?

Huh?

No.

No.

Well, come on, then.

Let's go get it.

O.k.?

How's jason doing?

Jason's doing fine.

He's tough.

He's like his sister.

Holly?

Don't stop, holly.

Go on. I'll catch
up with you... later.

If you stop now,

you're going to die out here.

I don't care.

What?

I don't care!

It's just over
this ridge, holly!

You don't know that, coop!

I do!

I'm telling you, we've
made it! Come on!

Come on, holly!

Come on, holly!

I'll prove it to you!

Come on, holly!

We made it, holly!

Come on!

Come on!

You're tricking, coop.

You're tricking
like you're always tricking.

Is it really up there?

I don't know, jason.

How did you know?

It's my profession.

I'm a gambler.

Let's go.

Thank you, charity.

Wild onions and mushrooms.

Oh, I'm starved!

I'll try to get us some meat.

Good luck.

Keep the fire going.

Easy, charity.

There's nothing there.

Jason!

Jason!

Holly!

Jason!

Holly!

Mr. coop!

Watch charity!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Keep away!

Charity.

Charity.

Charity, charity.

What's the matter with her?

Let me see.

She's all right.
She's just frightened.

Thank god you came back!

We were clubbing 'em
and everything.

They kept coming back.

Why didn't you use your pistol?

It doesn't have any bullets.

Well, neither does
the rifle now.

Go back to sleep.

It's o.k.

got one!

Told you I could catch one!

Oops.

Oh, well.

That's all right, jason.

We've had enough already.

Mr. coop?

What will you do when
we reach civilization?

Well, that depends.

On what?

On how my luck's running.

If it runs good,
I'll have a high old time.

Doing what?

First thing...

There's no need to say.
We have imaginations.

I don't.

Tell you all about it
some other time.

Ever think about settling down?

I've never been able to
cotton to that idea, jason.

Can't change spots
on a leopard, jason.

Let's get out of here!
Indians!

They're supposed to be
friendly around here.

These have got war paint.
Come on.

There's another one.

Get down.
Get down.

Aah!

Get out of here!

That war paint gives
me the shivers.

They're wearing it
for the grizzly.

He's already killed two
people from this village.

Don't they have guns?

White man don't like them to.

That was a very brave
thing that you did.

Pretty foolish,
now that I think about it.

He says we're welcome
to spend the night.

They're going to feed us.

Let's get down.

See how they treat the
women around here?

They do all the work.

That's the way
it's meant to be...

All part of god's great plan.

I kind of like it.

Don't you start now.

What did he say?

Oh, nothing.

He was talking
about me, wasn't he?

Said I should be working
with those other women.

You tell him I'm nobody's slave!

What he said was,

you remind him
of the strawberry moon

and the flowers when
they cover the prairie

and the buffalo are
having their young

and the world is
warm and happy again.

You're full of it, coop.

That's what he said.

It was a very nice compliment.

Can't you take a compliment?

He's a very nice man.

Get in the teepee!

Must be the grizzly.

She wants us to keep away

from the sides of the teepee.

Oh! Charity,
where have you been?

Come here, charity.

Mr. coop!

Yaah!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Mr. coop!

Get out! Get out!

Get outside!

Beautiful.

Holly!

Look what we found!

He's raising them 'cause
their mother got killed.

His name's red wing, and he
invited us to go riding.

We have an appointment to keep.

We have time.

Look at mr. Coop.

He won't be awake for hours,

and it would be
bad manners to refuse.

Go!

Morning, mosa.

Hi.
How was your ride?

What are you doing?

Can you believe it?

Somebody taught these
boys how to play cards.

O.k. o.k.?

Ahh.

Have you no shame
taking advantage

of these innocent people?

That's just
robbing and stealing.

Robbing and stealing?

What are you talking about?

We're playing a friendly game.

Everybody's enjoying themselves.

See that?

The chief just won
the last game.

I mean, this guy's tough.

Very good, chief.

O.k.

O.k.

What are you getting
so upset about?

I'm not upset.
I'm ashamed.

Ashamed of being a part
of tricking and robbing.

Coop doesn't see it like that.

To him it's only a game.

A game that only he wins.

But sooner or later, they're
going to find him out.

Then they'll probably
skin him alive.

And maybe us, too.

They don't do things like that.

Well, whatever they do,
he'll deserve it.

By that time, I only
hope we'll be in oregon.

It's between you and me.

What do you got?

Show me.

Just not your day, grey fox.

O.k.

Will you please tell the
chief we're leaving now

and that we thank him
for his kindness?

We traded the rifle for a canoe.

You can handle one?

Will you just tell him
what we said, please?

He says you're welcome.

Goodbye, mr. Coop.

Thank you for everything.

You take real good care
of yourself, boy.

I thought you said
you could handle one.

You know, you were right.

I never should have gambled
with those indians.

They just won back
everything I had.

You know, I feel sorry for you.

Me?

You're addicted to it.

It's in your blood...

like an egg-sucking dog.

Well, it's a problem,
I grant you,

but I'm working on it.

Ain't easy for a man to
overcome years of corruption

just like that.

Is everything
just a joke to you?

I'm not joking.

Now look what you made me do.

The thing I hate
worse than anything

is a crybaby.

Now I'm making a fool of myself

in front of the whole world.

No, you're not.

Everybody around here has
cried at some time or another.

Not you.

I sure have.

I've cried at everything
from bedwetting to...

having somebody I
really love die on me.

Hey...

look at me.

You're going to make it,

and you're going
to make it on time.

Jason and I
are going to see to it.

I'll give up gambling
until I get you there.

And that's a promise.

I don't believe it.

Well, I'd be willing
to bet you...

You ready to go, boy?

Hold on!

Jason, move forward.

Move forward.

What's happening?

We're going down!

O.k.

Hang onto the canoe.

Hang onto the canoe.

You all right?

They told me that
the river was safe.

Jason needed a bath anyway.

Hey.

It's no joking matter.

One more day, then we
lose all our land.

Well, let's keep going.

Come on. West.

I told you it was the
richest land in the world.

Are they dangerous?

No. We'll just give them
a lot of room.

We better get going.

Charity, come back here!

She's all right.
She's just playing.

She probably
thinks they're cows.

Watch out, girl.

Hold it.

Hold it.

Let's get out of here!

Come on!

Club, how many you get?

There's three right over there.

Three? They's
thicker than flies,

and you only got three?

Are you crazy, mister?

You nearly killed us!

Easy.
They got guns.

Come on.
Take it easy.

Howdy.

Howdy.

Can you tell me how far
fort williams is?

You're looking at
a good two days' walk.

Two days?

That's lady and matthew.

Those are our horses you got.

Young 'un, them's mine.
Stay away from that wagon.

Tell him, mr. Coop.

She's stating a fact, mister.

We lost them up on top
of the mountains.

They ran off on us.

Horse pucky.

Mister, I paid hard
grade for them horses,

and that says they mine.

If you bought stolen property,

that's your own loss.

Want me to have that
lady sit on you?

Now, the man...
the man's got a point.

He had no way of knowing
our horses were lost.

We'll pay you what they cost.

Well, how much you offering?

How much?

$43...

and 85 cents.

Ain't enough.

We got 10 more.

All right.
That's $53.85.

Still ain't enough.

Well, mister, that's all we got.

Well, then I guess you're going
to be walking, ain't you?

Uh, that is, uh...

unless you'd like to gamble

with some of that money.

Gambling?

Well, you know, club here, uh...

This here is club...

Uh, we got a little game
we play out here,

sometimes just to pass the time.

Call it poker.

Poker.

Yeah.
You ever play it?

Uh, yeah, I've played it, uh...

once a year at a church social.

Good.

Fat mary,

get that old deck of cards

out of the wagon, would you?

Me and my new friend here...

we going to play us a game.

Skin him alive, coop.

All righty.

First thing we do...

Put our weapons on the table.

I ain't got no gun.

He ain't got no gun.

Well, I guess
there ain't no reason

to put the guns on the
table then, is there?

This is going to be
five-card draw.

O.k. you want to play
for the whole thing,

or you want to
sort of split it up?

If we're going to play,
let's just shoot it all.

Good,

if I'm putting up
that mare and that foal

for what you got there.

Uh...

you're kind of cute.

Uh, ain't you supposed
to cut for the deal?

That's right.
I forgot.

Go ahead.

That's the "a" card.

We won.

We won!

You just won the deal, boy.

Go on.
Get on with it.

O.k.

O.k.

1...

1...

2...

how many cards you got?

I got three.

4...

4...

5...

and...

and...

give me, uh...

two.

Two.

O.k.

I'll take four.

Four?

He... he take four.

Yeah.

Uh...

four.

Well, what you got?

A pair of 10s.

Well, I'm sorry, friend,

but that don't beat two pair.

And then I got
these three left over.

Does that beat you?

Yeah.

Yeah, that... that beats me.

We beat you!
We won!

We won!

I want to thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

Thank you very much.

Wait a minute.
Hold on.

I'm double or nothin' to you.

Well, what are you going to bet?

I'm putting up my papered
thoroughbred mare.

Papered?

O.k.

I'd like to, uh...

talk to my partners about
this first, though, o.k.?

Are you still carrying
that little derringer?

O.k.

Slip it underneath me real easy.

Right?

Right.

Right. O.k...

we'll do it.

Double or nothing.
Let's go.

All righty.

First I want you two
young'uns out of here.

You making me nervous.

Come on, jason.

Let's go see our horses.

Go on, boy.

Deal 'em up.

O.k.

All right.

One for you, one for me.

One for you, one for me.

Give me...

one.

One.

Ain't you supposed
to give me one back

when I give you one?

Yeah.

You got one back.

Thank you.

I'm going to take two.

Well, what you got?

What do you got?

Ain't got much.

Just a little old...

full house.

Kings high.

Close.

Yeah.

Full house...

aces high.

You can't be that lucky, mister.

Ain't it something?

I could hardly
believe it myself.

Well, I... I guess
it don't matter nohow.

You ain't taking
nothing with you.

Club...

blow a hole in him.

Nobody move.
I'll blow his head off!

Back away from that rifle!

Back away from that rifle.

I got him covered,
mr. Coop.

Some people
just shouldn't gamble.

Ipistola!

Ipistola!

Saddle the horse, jase.

Everybody, down on your bellies!

Come on!

Get down!

I swear now.

You, too, lady!
Get down on your...

Get down, lady!

He said get down on your belly!

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Let's get out of here.

Yahoo!

Yahoo!

Some hotshot gambler...

let that tinhorn
take our horses.

Don't blame this on me.

You should've
blowed a hole in him.

Any fool could've told you

that derringer wasn't loaded.

He was pointing it at you.

Quit fighting and help me up.

I can't breathe.
Come on, fellas.

Shut up, woman!
It's your fault!

You should've given me
the right card!

Dang.

I'm mad enough to eat skunk.

That was the most
fun I ever had.

Sure was.

Whoa.

Well...

looks like you made it.

I'd be willing to bet you

1/2 of 400 acres
of prime bottom land

that you couldn't sit still

and work it for a year.

Farming?

It'd be a whole new future

of gambling and high adventure.

Gambling and high adventure?

You'd be living with us.

Now, there's the high adventure,

but where's the gambling?

You'd be gambling
with the elements,

light, cows that kick,

sneaky rust...

You're putting him right off.

Putting me right off.

Those are the odds.

Odds?

We can beat 'em.

How?

If I've told you once,

I've told you a hundred times.

When you're lucky...

you're lucky!
