Wish, is it time to get up?

No, it isn't time to get up.

What's the matter?
We movin' out?

Oh, for heaven's sake.

Where's the sun?

Over China, probably!



'Tisn't but 3:30 in the mornin'!

Sorry, Boss.

I didn't know you was there.

What are y'all doin' up
in the middle of the night?

Just anxious
to get to work, Boss.

Well, now, I'm real proud

that everybody is taking
such an interest in their work.

Especially since it's the
first time on the whole drive

I haven't had to kick you
out of those blankets!

Yeah. But Abilene
is just over the hill there.

Abilene has been over
the hill for the last 10 years!

It will stay there for another two hours!

So relax!

We'll pull out like
we usually do at sunrise.

Oh.

What are you doing there,
Toothless?

Oh, shining my plates.

Well, you're finally going
to put those things in, huh?

I thought you were waitin'
to be buried in them.

No. No, I'm just waitin' for Abilene.

Yeah, you're going to flash
those pearly chops

at some dance-hall queen,
Toothless,

and that's going to be
the end of your money.

Hey, Grenny, what are you doing?
Trying to get the jump on us?

I don't jump so good with this back.

One thing I could never
understand about your back, Don,

you can sit up playin' poker
three days runnin'

and never feel a twinge.

Yeah well,
it only hurts when he loses.

Yeah, Don, you must be real
lucky in love.

I'm going out to relieve Huggins.

Heeya!

Morning, Larry.

Ain't it a bit early for relief?

I thought you might be ready
for some hot coffee.

I sure am.

Hey!

Gee, I... I felt funny for a minute.

You're burnin' with fever.

I better get Wish.

No, no. I'll be all right.

I'm all right now.

I guess I'm just a little punchy

from sittin' up
in the saddle all night.

Heh, heh.

Well, it's almost all over now.

Couple of hours you can start
your celebratin'.

Oh, not so much for me.

Can't do much hurrahin'
on 25 bucks.

I mean, that's all I can keep out.

I send the rest back to my folks.

Yep.

Last time I saw my wife and kids,

I was sitting on the back of a wagon,

pullin' out of a Vicksburg cemetery.

1,000 years ago.

I never had a picture of 'em.

Gettin' so I can't hardly
remember what they looked like.

Maybe that means it's time
to start a new family.

Maybe it does.

Find a good woman.

Buy a little shop.

Raise some big sons.

I'm going to do it this trip,
I mean it.

Yeah.

Every year my back gets worse.

I don't think
I could stand another drive.

I thought I'd die
before we even got this far.

So when we pull into Abilene,

I take my pay,
walk on past them poker tables...

right past 'em, right on out of town.

And I don't look back
no matter what anybody says.

You take it easy, Larry.

I'll be right back.

Grenfell.

Mr. Favor, young Larry Huggins
ain't feelin' too good.

What's wrong?

I don't know.
He's kind of weak and drowsy.

Ah well, Wish is busy
scroungin' up breakfast.

Look... since we're this close to town,

why don't you take him into town
with you and find a doctor?

I'll get somebody to take over.

Right.

Oh, we'll be at the hotel,
the Texas House.

Well, to tell you the truth,
Mr. Favor,

I kind of planned on
stayin' somewhere else.

There's a place
called the Oddity House

on the other side of town.

Well, I'll send
your money over there then.

It ain't
that I don't want to stay

with the rest of the outfit.

Oh, I know.

No, I think you're smart.

Best way to quit
is just up and quit.

Yeah. Same for me.

Yeah. My last drive.

Well, how come, Mr. Favor?

I been promisin' my kids
and myself for a long time.

I'm going to do it.

I got a little spread over near
the Missouri line.

A house, a stream,

ridin' horses
for Gillian and Maggi.

You bought it, Boss,
gee, that's great.

As good as...
put down $2,500 option money.

Yeah, I'll pay the men off,

get a good night's sleep,

and then the first thing,
I'll ride out of Abilene,

out of the cattle business,

back into a family again.

Mr. Favor,
I wish you all the luck.

Good luck to you, Grenny.

Thanks.

Yaw!

Yaw!

Yaw!

Yaw!

Good news girls, reprieve!

There's a new trail crew
just came in!

So smile, girls!

They're rich,
and they're thirsty.

Oh, Vada, the boss of this herd
is so handsome.

He's so handsome,
he almost made me swoon.

Better watch yourself, Molly.

You know what I told you
about drovers.

They're worse than sailors
when it comes

to playin' a girl
fast and loose.

I like to listen to the way they
talk about the things they done.

And then tellin' me
how pretty I am.

And asking me if... if I wouldn't
like to have a trinket.

Oh, it isn't that
I want them to buy me a trinket.

It's just that
they want to buy it.

And for me.

Whose outfit is this, honey?

Gil Favor's.

Give me a break, Jack.

Let 'em lose their money
before you start trouble.

Trouble?

Ain't gonna be no trouble, Vada.

For the last 3 months every time
you get a drink or 2 into you,

all you could talk about

was the fight you had
with the Ramrod,

and how you spent a month
and a half in the hospital.

Now, if this saddle-tramp's
got to die,

doesn't make any difference
to you if he dies broke.

Deal.

How's it going here?

There's a winner, huh!

There you are!

Wish!

Well, Mr. Favor.

Yes, sir.

About your crew...

They're no crew of mine no more.

What?!

Drive's over.
They're on their own now.

They ain't so far as
you're concerned!

I'm holdin' you responsible for
every nickel of damage they do.

You're going to have
one big time trying to collect.

- Hurry up, Mushy?
- Come on.

That's it, boys.

- That's what?
- What?

No more rooms. We're full up.

- Full up?
- Full up?

I'm sorry.

There's a couple of boarding
houses down the street.

Well, maybe we don't want
to stay in any boarding houses.

Hey, wait a minute.

What about that place
that Grenfell's staying at?

The Oddity House?
You feelin' all right, Rowdy?

No, no. It's a hotel.
Grenny said so.

Well, what's good enough
for Grenny,

is good enough for us.

Hold your horses!
Grenny picked the Oddity House

so he could be alone
for a change,

save his money for once.

Well, we'll help him.

We'll, uh,
we'll give him strength.

- Yeah!
- Come on!

All right, see the rest of you
at the Oddity House

in half an hour.
I'll work out the shares.

OK, Boss.

Hey, Wish, ain't that Huggins'
horse over there?

Yeah, sure looks like it.

Well, I'm kind of glad
we came here.

Ol' Grenny's going
to get a bang out of this.

Oh, a real bang.
I can see it now.

Come on, anybody home?

Hey, clerk!

This a hotel
or a funeral parlor?

Hey! Hey! Hey! Clerk!

Oh, here he is.

Good morning. Beautiful morning.

You the manager?

Manager, desk clerk, owner...

Edward R. Dooley.

Mr. Dooley,
we could use some rooms.

Here?

Yeah, here.
What's the matter with here?

I usually don't get drovers
this far out.

I mean, all the saloons
are the other end of town.

This is a very quiet area.

I don't like to be disturbed
when I've got a hangover.

Yeah. Besides, you already got
2 drovers, Huggins and Grenfell.

We saw their horses.

Well... sir, would you please put
down that objets d'art?!

Objeyjar, huh?

Well, if you put a fistful
of flowers in there,

it'd look just like a vase.

It is a... you would...

Look... don't worry about
your objeyjars, friend.

'Cause we ain't even gonna be
here long enough

to hardly touch the beds,
are we?

Say, Mr. Dooley,
about the lady guests.

You got any lady guests?

Well, yes, we have a few.

Well, where are they?

They're out right now.

All my guests are... sir!

If you're going to put your foot
on the couch, please,

would you mind
removing the spurs?

Sure is a fussy cuss ain't he?

Absolutely terrible.

Oh, say, I could use some
hot water for a bath.

Yes, sir,
there's some on the stove.

And save me a little, will ya?

If you're in a hurry,
you go on ahead.

I want to get up
and see Huggins anyway.

Yeah, how's is he?

Mr. Huggins?

Not so well.

The doctor examined him
a little while ago.

Well, I guess I'd better go up
and have a look at him.

- What room's he in?
- 27.

Wait a second,
might as well all go up.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

Now, you try
to get some shut-eye, Larry.

Doctor said you was
to have peace and quiet.

Hey!

- Grenny, how are ya?!
- Good to see you!

Look at his face!

I told you he'd be glad
to see us.

Yeah!

Mr. Favor, what in creation
are you all doin' over here?

I'm sorry, Grenny.
I tried to stop 'em.

Well, he hasn't got much fever!

What'd that doctor say
was wrong with him?

He didn't say.

He just looked both of us over
and rushed out.

Well, just like
some of those city doctors,

trying to be mysterious.

Well, I'll give him a good dose
of sassafras root,

and he'll be
as good as new tomorrow.

How's she goin', boy?

Little better, Mr. Favor.

Got a good price for the herd.

I got your share whenever you want it.

Thanks, Mr. Favor.

Hot water!

- Yeah!
- That's for me!

Oh, say, what'd the doctor say
about your back?

Nothin' more than I know.

Told me I had
to keep off horses.

Said I pinched some nerve
in my spine.

Keep on ridin',
I'd end up a cripple.

Well, you don't have
to worry about that anymore.

No more of that.

Couple of ex-drovers.

Make you feel funny, Mr. Favor?

Funny?

It feels like my insides are
laughin' fit to burst.

Smallpox?!
But he hasn't got smallpox!

I took a look at him!

Sheriff,
you haven't thought this out.

What about my other guests?

They'll have to go
someplace else, Dooley.

How does that look?

It'll do.

It won't do!

Doc, we been on the trail
since spring.

And you know very well...

He's got smallpox!
That's what I know!

And nobody is gonna spread it
through this town!

All right, inside.

Now, look,
I'm an American citizen!

- I don't have to take orders...
- Inside, citizen.

You too, trail boss.

Just how long do you think
you're going

to keep these drovers
away from dance halls?

You heard him same as I did...
4 days for some.

The rest as long as there's
a danger to my town.

Look, I got to get out
of Abilene by tomorrow mornin'.

I'm buyin' a spread a couple
hundred miles east of here.

It ain't gonna fly away.

It very well could fly away.
You see, I just...

was able to put down option
money on that place.

The drive took
longer than I figured.

I got to get the rest of the
money there by Friday noon

or lose the place
and the $2,500 option money.

I'm sorry, Mr. Favor.

Look... I got two kids
dependin' on that ranch.

It's still inside.

Gentlemen, this isn't going
to be pleasant for you to hear.

But you've got to hear it.

I have reason to believe
that your friend, Mr. Huggins,

has the smallpox.

So I'm going to have
to vaccinate every one of you.

And you will all have
to remain here

quarantined in this building.

For how long?

4 days.

So let's line up
and get it over with.

You ain't keepin' us in here!

Sheriff!

Get out of the way, Sheriff!

Put them guns away
and take off them gun belts.

You'd better
get out of the way, Sheriff,

while you're still able to move.

I want them guns now.

All of you line up and let
the doctor scratch your arms.

I'm gonna need your help
with these men.

Drive's over. I got no right
to give orders no more.

Mr. Favor,
there are kids in this town

who never hurt a livin' soul.

Did you ever seen a little child
die of smallpox?

Ahh...

Clay.

Why, it's funny how one little
needle can hurt so much, huh?

Back in line.

Thanks again.

It's nothing.

If you'll give me the name
and address of the people

you're buying that spread from,
I'll send them a telegram

tellin' them what's happened

and ask them to give you
a little more time.

Smallpox?!

They're in quarantine at the
Oddity House since yesterday.

They can't get out.

That's why I like to play cards
with you, Jack.

You've such a poker face.
Never show your disappointments.

Sure I'm disappointed...
for them.

6 months on the trail
with them stinkin' beeves.

Now, they got to be holed up.

Tough. But think
about my problems.

I had that herd money spent.

Who is it this time, Vada?

Another smooth-talking guy
with a sob story? No...

You'd end up broke as usual
anyway.

You're the last man
that should talk, Jack.

I've listened to one
or 2 of your sob stories

and wound up broke.

We're different. We're partners.

In a nice kind of way.

A nice kind of blackmailin' way.

Vada, you're always thinking
the worst of me,

like thinkin' I'd go around
tellin' people

you was run out of Dodge City
for crooked dealin'.

I learned my lesson, Jack,
and you know it.

I ain't dealt
a crooked card since.

I know it. I know!

But there's a lot of people
around here lost money to you

might not believe that.

Might even get mad
and come lookin' for you.

You know, I wouldn't want that
to happen for all the world.

You are a skunk.

You're a dirty, stinkin' skunk!

Look, maybe we could jump 'em.

Take off their clothes
and put 'em on.

That way, at least two of us
would get out.

Well, then which two?

Well, me naturally, since I thought of it.

The rest of you could draw lots.

What do you figure
one of them deputies

- makes in this town?
- Why?

What if we all chipped in...

Outside of worryin'
about Huggins

this don't bother me at all,
Mr. Favor.

Keepin' me
out of gamblin' houses

'til some of the steam runs out.

Pretty rough on you, though.

That ranch you was planning
on gettin'...

Oh, yeah.

Them people'll
give you more time

once they hear about all this.

But it can't be easy sweatin' it out.

I must be out of my mind,

listening to all this clap-trap
with all the worry I got!

What worries have you got?

Mushy!

Oh, Wishbone,
he'll be all right.

Well, you don't know him
the way I do!

Out there on the town
all by himself.

Without me to watch over him.

Yeah. Well, we got all the money

so he can't get in
too much trouble.

Uh-huh.

You know, maybe we could just
break straight out.

9 to 3 against the sheriff
and his deputies.

7 to 3 without
Huggins and Grenfell.

What do you think about that,
Mr. Favor?

I don't know whether
you're kiddin' or not,

but either way the answer is no.

How's that?

Nobody can leave
'til the doc says so.

You still giving orders
around here?

That's an order.

Maybe you don't realize it.
This drive's over with.

Maybe you don't realize

there's a man upstairs
with a killin' disease.

You mean,
maybe he has a killing disease.

Maybe is enough.

You know, there's somethin'
I've been wantin' to tell you

ever since we left Laredo,
in fact,

Take it easy, Rowdy.

No. No, really.
For 6 months now

I've been taking your bossin',
you know,

and listening to you shoot
your mouth off

and walking around
like you own the whole world.

But I don't have to take it now,
you know?!

If fact, next time
you open your mouth to me,

I'm going to shove my fist
so far down your throat

you're gonna choke it!

Hey, there's a good-looking
woman out here.

Where's she at?

That's far enough, Vada.

Put the gun down, Sheriff,
I'm goin' inside.

No, you ain't.

Rowdy, ain't that Jack Harris?

What do you want?

Want to go see my friends.

Used to work with these boys,
Sheriff.

I brought 'em
a little Abilene cheer.

He's got liquor! Sheriff!

- Hey!
- Let him in here!

All right,
you two have had your fun.

Now, go back
where you came from.

You show me the law says
I can't go inside that hotel.

If there ain't one,
I'm makin' it right now.

Nobody goes in or out
'til the time is up.

Now, beat it, both of you!

Sheriff.

I ain't foolin'!

Gosh! He turning them away!

- Aw.
- Gee.

Now don't you start
givin' me trouble!

She... she's a dealer down
the saloon, ain't she?

What of it?
She ain't gettin' in.

Yep, but the boys
are gettin' real edgy.

She could help, uh,
keep 'em quiet.

This hotel is quarantined.

She knows that.

If she's willing to take her
chances, that's her business.

You worried about the town,
or her?

What about the guy with her...
Harris?

He's got a nice big bag
full of booze.

That'll pacifier 'em, too.

Vada! Harris!

Come back.

Hey, the boss fixed it up!

Howdy-do, Ma'am!

Howdy, doll.

Gentlemen,
this is Miss Vada Nordquist,

one of the best dealers in town.

And she's brought her cards
with her.

Well, you just come right along
with us then!

Jack, uh, what do you got
in the bag there?

Why don't you take a look
and see, Teddy.

All righty.

Hello, Rowdy...

What are you after, Jack?

Ain't after nothin'.

I was ridin' through,

and I heard
what happened to you boys.

I got to thinkin'
how much I'd appreciate

somebody bringin' me a bottle
if I'd been in their boots.

And well, we all were
pretty good friends once.

And you came in here risking
smallpox for your old friends?

I had smallpox
back in San Antone.

You can't get it more than once.

Look, Rowdy, I ain't saying
either one of us was right

in that card game.

But I do say that both of us
ought to stop actin'

like a couple of little kids.

Now, how about it?

Well, Jack, if you're man enough
to put out your hand,

I guess I'm man enough
to take it.

Good. Let's drink on it.

All right.

"Blackjack" or "Stud"?

"Stud's" good enough.

No bugs in this deck.
No wild cards.

High only.

No limit.

Load me up over there,
will you, please?

Ace first.

Ace bets $10.

Why did you do it, Mr. Favor?

I thought she'd help keep 'em
from wantin' to bust out.

Yeah, I know...

Look, I ain't your herder.

The bet's $20.

Mr. Favor...

All right, Grenny.

Look... you ask for it back,
I'll give it to you.

Want to sit in, Cowboy?
There's plenty of room.

Naw. I'll just watch.

Pair of kings bets $20.

Don't tell me you got
wiped out already.

Ah, I just couldn't concentrate.

I keep worrying about Mushy.

Mr. Wishbone!

Mr. Wishbone!

Mr. Wishbone.

Mr. Wishbone!

Ho!

Now, what are you doing
with those women?!

Oh, I was wondering if I could
get my money, Mr. Wishbone.

Maybe you could just
toss it out.

So you want your money!

Now look here, you two!
You leave that little boy alone!

Mr. Wishbone, you shouldn't talk
to these ladies like that.

Why, one of 'em needs
a desperate operation.

And one of them is going
to sell me

some solid gold stock
real cheap.

Is he jokin'?

He hasn't got sense enough
to joke!

So you want your money, huh?

Well, yes, sir.
Just toss it out.

Well, I can't do that.
The sheriff won't let me.

You'll have to come in here.

Sure, Mr. Wishbone.

You wait just right here.

Well, come on in.

Howdy, Mr. Favor.

Howdy. Welcome to the club.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

How're the boys on the outside?

Oh, well,
they're just wandering around

going to all the free things,
like, uh, funerals and, uh...

well, can I have my money,
Mr. Wishbone?

No, you can't.

- But you said...
- And I lied!

That's all, girls.

I'll bet 50.

That's too good for me.
I'll fold.

I'll call.

3 queens.

That beats 2 pair.

Well, I've had enough
for a while.

Yeah, I'm quitting, too.

Well, I think I'll wait
'til my luck changes.

Here's a present for you.

Play it. I don't take charity.

Let's pretend I already lost it.

Come on, Mushy.

How about you play it for him?

Me?

Sure. It's his money.
You can't lose.

Come on, sit down.

What'll you have?

"Showdown. " One card.

Hey, how about that?

You're going
to make that boy rich. Again?

This is too easy.

Would you like
to change to "Stud?"

Sure.

By the way, what's your name?

Don Grenfell.

Hi ya, Don.

Hi ya, Vada.

What do you mean I can't leave?

I already told you I had
the smallpox down in Texas.

You got any proof of that?

No. But my friend Rowdy
can back me up.

That's right, Sheriff.
He almost died of it.

That's your story.
And I don't believe it.

I got to get out of here.

You heard the man.

Look, Rowdy.
I'm fixin' to get married.

Yeah, well, Jack,
I'm afraid she's just going

to have to wait.

She's comin' in on the train
tomorrow morning

all alone, Rowdy.

She don't know a soul
in this town, nobody,

no place to go, nothing.
I can't stay here.

You shouldn't have come here
in the first place...

I know that.

But I never figured
he'd keep me.

I felt so sorry for you guys.

I've got to get out.

Maybe... maybe you'd like
to go, too, huh?

Heh.

There ain't too much
chance of that.

Oh. The boss say no?

You know... maybe there is
a way of getting out of here.

How many men we need?

Not too many.

Call.

I called.

More?

I'm broke.

Well, don't you have
any money of your own?

- Mr. Favor!
- Later.

Hold it, Rowdy!

Let's go!

Next time I'll aim.

Come on, let's keep goin'.
He wouldn't shoot his friends.

Yeah. We ain't his friends,
though. We're his drovers.

The drive's over.

Seems everybody knows that
but him.

Oh, gee...

Thanks again, Favor.

Come on, get a move on.

Look, I told before
and I ain't telling you again,

you're not the boss anymore.

There is certain advantages
to not bein' trail boss,

ain't there?

Mr. Favor,
I got something for you.

"Have another buyer.

"If you do not deliver
balance of money on time

you will forfeit deposit
and ranch. "

Why, they can't do this to you!

But they can.

Mr. Favor...

Grenny, how'd you like
to save your money?

I sure would, Mr. Favor.

Come on with me.

Mr. Favor.

Mr. Favor, I ain't gonna forget
what you did for me.

I got a more than a dozen men
deputized now.

Yeah, you can start forgettin'
it right now.

We're going out of here.

What're you talking about?

I got an answer
to that telegram you sent.

They're sellin' the place
out from underneath me.

I'm real sorry to hear that,
Mr. Favor, but...

You see, those kids have been
figurin' on that place

for most a year now.

And I don't want
to see them disappointed.

You know what you're doing
is the wrong thing.

Right or wrong, we're going over
there to get our horses.

We'll ride straight out of Abilene.

We won't get near nobody.

What about where you're going?
There are people there, too.

You're going to have to let them
worry about that.

All right, let's go.

It's all right for you to go
shootin' at us when we tried it.

It's a little different now, ain't it?

Yeah, but he came back
and on his own.

Anyway trying to save his ranch
is a lot different

than just going out for booze
and fancy women and gambling.

I got some 15 men posted
around this hotel now

with orders to shoot on sight.

It's their wives and kids
that are in danger.

So when they shoot
they're gonna shoot to kill.

Hmm.

We ain't got them fancy gals
ol' Wish was talkin' about.

But we do have a couple
of bottles and, uh,

a real good-looking card dealer.

So let's make the best of it.

Mr. Favor, I got a hunch all my bad luck
ran out with Quince's money.

Yeah, okay.

50 on a pair of 10s.

I fold.

You calling, Toothless?

All I got is 10 bucks.

The bet's 50.

Got anythin' else you can
put up, a watch or something?

Now, what good would those be to me?

Well, they're all I have left in the world.

And they cost most $100.
Hardly ever been used.

They'll do.

You win.

You'd better get out
of the game, Toothless,

while you still got
some money to fold.

Yes, ma'am.
It's getting almost morning.

And I am perishin' for
some sleep. Thank you, ma'am.

10 on the king.

Pair of 9s.

50 on the pair of kings.

You haven't got it, Vada.

Up 300.

300.

And 300 more.

Call.

Three kings.

That's it.

Broke?

Yep.

I'm sorry, cowboy.

If a man can't stand to lose,
he shouldn't gamble, right?

I'm goin' into the kitchen,
see if I can scrounge up some coffee.

Like some, Vada?

Yeah, I would.

Jack?

No.

Well, those boys treated you pretty well.

That's the biggest pile of money

I've seen you put together
for a long time.

And you ain't seein' none of it.

It's a stake, Jack. A big, fat stake.

Means I can get out of Abilene,
out of this racket,

out of everything.

Sure. But first you're gonna
do me a little favor.

No. I'm not going to do any more
favors for you, Jack.

You're going to do your own dirty work.

It's very simple.

In a little while Rowdy and me
will come down those stairs.

All you got to do
is take a couple of cups

of nice steamin' coffee to them
two poor deputies outside.

I haven't heard a word you said.

Vada, you keep thinking
the worst of me,

you're just naturally going
to bring out the worst.

Don't threaten me
about Dodge City anymore, Jack.

I'm going somewhere
where I don't give 2 cents

what the people of Abilene
think about me.

How about the drovers?

What about the drovers?

How do you think they'd feel
knowing you deal crooked?

I dealt straight to them drovers
every blessed card.

Straight? Straight off
the bottom of the deck.

Like that last card to Toothless.

Nobody saw it but me.

But that was for him to win, Jack.

Sure. That time for him.

Other times, yourself.

That ain't true!

Them drovers just have to think it's true.

Now, they lost a lot of money.

That cost them six months
of their lives.

They get mad, real mad.

There's no way you can leave this place
to get away from them.

Now, all you got to do

is take a couple of cups of coffee
to them two deputies.

A nice, friendly gesture
after a long, cold night.

- I won't do it!
- Sure you will.

No, I won't!

What's the trouble, Vada?

No business of yours.
You stay right here.

I'll see you later, Vada.

Didn't mean to butt in
on something private, Vada.

Oh, that's all right.

It's been a long time
since a man stood up for me.

Especially a man that just lost
$600 to me in one hand.

You're a nice person,
Don Grenfell.

What does a drover do
when he's broke?

Aw, there's always another
drive next year, a new bankroll.

I mean, before next year.

Plenty. Works as a cow-hand,
break horses.

Don't you fret about that money.

Almost daylight.

I'm going to get some sleep.

Good night, Vada.
I'm real proud to have met you.

Don...

Do you know where
Mr. Favor's bedroom is?

Yeah, sure.

You tell him to keep an eye
on Rowdy.

Rowdy?

That's all I'm gonna say.

I didn't even say that.

There she is.

Well, let's go.

You sure you don't want
to back out of this, Rowdy?

No! No, I told you I'd help you out.

Okay. Remember...

when she give 'em the coffee
and they take it,

you run out, wrap your arms around 'em,
kind of bang 'em together.

That'll give me time to make a break for it.

All right.

Uh...

He was gettin' to be a pest anyway.

The coffee, Vada.

Come on!

Thought you boys might like
a cup of hot coffee

bein' out in the cold all night.

Get back, Miss Vada.

Lucky for you,
your friend stopped you.

You're lucky
you can move at all,

making a flying tackle
like that

with that trick back of yours.

Well, is he gonna
be all right, doc?

Couple of days in bed, he'll be
as good as he ever will be,

which ain't gonna be much.

But I'm tellin' you again,
Mr. Grenfell,

you stay off them horses,

or you'll end up like this permanent.

Well, he isn't gonna ride anymore,

He's gonna take his share
and go back to Texas

and open up a little store.

You do that, Mr. Grenfell,

you do just that.

All right, you men, I gave you
all a clean bill of health.

So why don't you all just git

and give this poor man a little rest.

Let's go.

We'll see you later, Grenny.

I might buy some pickles
from you some time.

Another drive next year,
another bankroll.

Here's the $600 that you lost to me.

What's that for?

And here's another $600
to keep it company.

You open that store and consider
me a silent partner.

Now wait a minute.

Vada...

I've gambled a lot more on worse
men than you, Don Grenfell.

Maybe this is one investment
that'll pay off.

Come with me.

No.

No, you go and make a success
out of the store

and try me again.

Will you think about it?

Yes, Don Grenfell,
I'll be thinking about it.

That ought to take care
of the rest of the damages.

Well, thank you!
Thank you very much, Mr. Favor.

And if you're in Abilene again,
you be sure to drop by.

I'll be very happy to recommend
some nice place for you

and the boys to stay.

Mr. Favor, I want to thank you
for the people in Abilene.

And I'm sorry about you
losing your ranch.

There's other ranches.

And, Rowdy, I want to tell you

we're running Jack Harris
out of town

as soon as the doctor
can wire up his jaw.

Boss, I, uh, I apologize
about in there, you know.

I realize now you were just
trying to help us all.

Don't apologize.

Stay the way you are
until next year.

And it looks like there's gonna
be a next year including me.

Oh...

Oh, Mr. Favor, one thing about
being shut up in quarantine,

you couldn't spend your money.

Oh, we managed to get rid of it
one way or another.

Damages. Poker.

But don't worry, Narbo.
We didn't bet away your share.

Yeah.
In fact, we got plenty of money,

providing our old friends
will give us a little loan.

We can't.

Why can't you?

Well, we...

we spent it with I.O.U.'s.

All of it?!

We was kinda hoping
that you could bail us out.

Well, Mr. Favor,

you don't happen to know
anybody's that's going to need

a good cook on their next drive?

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'

Though the streams are swollen

Keep them dogies rollin'

Rawhide

Move 'em on, head 'em up
