:54:02
and I ain't getting no cattle.
:54:04
These cattle ain't quail.
They can't fly up there.
:54:07
That's a point.
:54:09
But you don't realize how badly the East
needs beef since the war has been over.
:54:13
Maybe you can tell us how to get them
through the rustlers and Indians and raids.
:54:17
If you think it's so easy to get them there...
:54:20
- why don't you take them yourself?
- Yeah.
:54:23
Brother, that's exactly why I'm here.
:54:26
I'm going to buy the beef from you
right here and take it through myself.
:54:37
But, remember this:
:54:41
It's going to be just as tough on me getting
this beef to Abilene as it was on you.
:54:45
That's right.
:54:47
Since I'm the one
who has to take all the risk...
:54:50
I feel that it's only fair
that we establish a price...
:54:53
that will give me at least an even break.
:54:57
Since I'm the one who's going to have to
worry about the stampedes and things...
:55:01
I figure that a fair price
for your beef would be...
:55:05
- $2 a head.
- $2?
:55:08
That wouldn't even pay for the hide.
:55:11
Just a minute, friends.
:55:14
I knew this was too good to be true.
:55:18
You'd think from the way you're acting
I was trying to rustle your cattle.
:55:22
There ain't a man in here who can say
that I ever took advantage of a living soul.
:55:26
You're being a little unreasonable.
:55:28
I think $2 a head for your beef is a fair price.
:55:32
- What'll you sell them for?
- Yeah, what'll you get for them?
:55:35
I don't even know
I'm going to get them through.
:55:37
I might have to turn back
the same as you did.
:55:40
Windy's right. We can't get them through...
:55:42
and there ain't no sense
of fooling ourselves anymore.
:55:44
Of course, $2 a head ain't very much.
:55:47
You can have mine for $2.
:55:49
I've got 4,000 heads you can have at $2.
:55:52
Mine, too, I have 5,000.
:55:54
You can have the Flying W.
:55:56
- What's the matter with you?
- Listen, friends!
