1:13:01
Get up and shoot it out!
1:13:02
Young Wild West!
1:13:04
You should tell him shootin' me
before you get the falcon...

1:13:07
...will be bad for business.
1:13:09
Now, now, Wilmer.
We can't have any of that.

1:13:11
You shouldn't attach such importance
to these things.

1:13:14
Tell him to lay off me then.
1:13:15
Now, Wilmer....
1:13:19
Your plan is, not at all satisfactory, sir.
Let's not say anything more about it.

1:13:23
All right. I've got another suggestion.
1:13:25
Maybe not as good as the first,
but it's better than nothing.

1:13:28
Want to hear it?
1:13:29
Most assuredly.
1:13:35
Give them Cairo.
1:13:37
Well, by gad, sir--
1:13:38
Suppose we give them
you or Miss O'Shaughnessy?

1:13:40
You want the falcon. I've got it.
1:13:42
The fall guy's part of the price I'm asking.
As for Miss O'Shaughnessy...

1:13:46
...if you think she can be rigged for the part
I'm willing to discuss it with you.

1:13:50
You seem to forget that you are not
in a position to insist upon anything.

1:13:53
Now, come, gentlemen.
1:13:55
Let's keep our discussion
on a friendly basis.

1:13:58
There certainly is something
in what Mr. Cairo said....

1:14:01
If you kill me,
how are you gonna get the bird?

1:14:05
If I know you can't afford to kill me,
how'll you scare me into giving it to you?

1:14:09
Sir, there are other means of persuasion
besides killing and threatening to kill.

1:14:13
Yes, that's....
1:14:15
That's true.
1:14:18
But none of them are any good
unless the threat of death is behind them.

1:14:22
You see what I mean?
1:14:23
If you start something, I'll make it a matter
of your having to kill me or call it off.

1:14:29
That's an attitude, sir, that calls for
the most delicate judgement on both sides.

1:14:33
Because, as you know,
in the heat of action...

1:14:35
...men are likely to forget where
their best interests lie...

1:14:38
...and let their emotions carry them away.
1:14:41
And the trick from my angle is
to make my play strong enough...

1:14:44
...to tie you up, not make you mad enough
to bump me off...

1:14:47
...against your better judgement.
1:14:48
By gad, sir, you are a character.
1:14:56
They're selling you out, sonny.
1:14:59
I hope you're not influenced by the guns...
