- Dan Thomas. What's yours?
- Thorpe, Buford Thorpe. Call me Doc.
:38:07
- You live around here?
- Nope.
:38:11
- Got any relatives around here?
- Nope.
:38:15
- Where you headed?
- No place.
:38:19
What kind of work do you do?
:38:21
I ain't particular. Anything that's a living.
:38:24
Wait a minute, open your mouth.
Come on, open it wider.
:38:28
It never fails.
:38:31
I can always tell the way a man's eyes look.
:38:35
- Tell what?
- When he has a bad bicuspid.
:38:38
And that's as bad a bicuspid as I ever seen
in 30 years of dentistry.
:38:43
Bet you've never felt a twinge of pain
from that molar yet, have you?
:38:46
- No.
- You see? That's how bad it is.
:38:49
That's the kind of tooth
that falls apart all at once.
:38:53
Come on up to the office
and I'll fix it for you.
:38:56
- Put that on the book, Walt.
- All right, Doc.
:38:59
You sure you know how?
:39:01
Son, I'm the best dentist in this town...
:39:03
and there's only two ways
to be the best dentist in a town.
:39:07
- One of them is to do the finest work.
- What's the other?
:39:10
To be the only dentist.
:39:14
I guess it's kind of hard
for an ex-soldier to make a living.
:39:18
Everybody treats them well
when the war is on...
:39:22
but when the war is over,
they're sort of out of place.
:39:26
Get pushed around from pillar to post.
:39:35
That's bad for a young fella.
It makes him sort of bitter.
:39:39
Makes him disgusted with conditions.
:39:42
It sure does.
:39:50
Gonna be a lot of activity in cattle
around here...
:39:53
now that the railroad up in Abilene
is finished.
:39:58
How did you know
the railroad was finished?
