:45:01
Your health, Miss Davis.
:45:03
And the same to you, Mrs. Yen.
:45:09
Oh, that chair is for my wife...
:45:11
who does not exist.
:45:14
As yet.
:45:15
You see, Mah-Li
isn't his wife.

:45:17
She isn't even allowed to
sit on the same level with us.

:45:20
She may seem
kind of lonely tonight,

:45:22
but I've seen her
with plenty of company.

:45:33
Excuse me.
:45:39
I was greatly relieved tonight
:45:41
when I heard there was another
American in this strange place.

:45:44
Well, thank you
for the compliment.

:45:45
But I guess I'm what's known in
the dime novels as a renegade,

:45:48
and a darn good one at that.
:45:51
I don't think I'd be
much of a relief to anybody.

:45:54
What's that?
:45:56
Oh, I was just trying to find out
the duties of a financial advisor.

:46:01
He's the secretary
of my treasury.

:46:03
Yeah, I'm the big squeeze.
:46:05
And if I do say it myself, I can
milk more money out of this province

:46:08
than any man alive.
:46:11
Do you advise the general
on other matters too?

:46:13
Sure I do. But he never takes it,
except when it comes to money.

:46:18
Then he's all ears.
Aren't you, general?

:46:21
Well, as they say in your
country, "Money talks."

:46:25
Money talks in any country.
:46:27
Wait till you hear how that boxcar full
of money I've got out there is gonna talk.

:46:31
Six million dollars Mex can make
a lot of noise in any language.

:46:37
I thought you asked me
not to mention that, Jones.

:46:40
We're all friends here.
:46:42
Besides, Mah-Li knows anyway.
:46:49
I didn't tell her.
:46:52
You're not the only man around
this ranch who tells her things.
