:26:01
- Shall we take that look around?
- You must be new around here.
:26:05
- I told you we'd stop--
- I heard you.
:26:08
Well, Mr. Meeker?
:26:10
Maybe I should introduce you two
before you--
:26:12
- Who are you?
- Some call me one thing, some another.
:26:15
- What do they call you most?
- By my name, Cherry Valance.
:26:18
- Of Val Verde?
- Val Verde way.
:26:22
- We've heard of you.
- Thanks.
:26:24
They say you're good with a gun.
How good?
:26:27
- I manage to stay alive.
- You've been doing pretty good.
:26:31
- Still want to stop us?
- Yeah.
:26:35
Well, Mr. Meeker,
what do you say?
:26:38
At one time, I would have said yes.
But now-- Look, Tom.
:26:42
- Everything I've got--
- Yeah, I know. Me too.
:26:45
We rounded up some of yours, Diego's
and everybody else's around here.
:26:49
And?
:26:51
I haven't got the time
or inclination to cut them out.
:26:54
I'll drive them to Missouri and give you
two dollars a head when I get back.
:26:57
- And if you don't get back?
- That's your gamble.
:27:00
I reckon it is. Not a bad one either.
All right, suits me.
:27:05
Mr. Meeker, I changed my mind
about working with you.
:27:08
Can you use another hand?
:27:11
- We're full up.
- I'd like to go with you to Missouri.
:27:13
- I told you--
- I heard you. I care to go along.
:27:16
Might find it harder to stay alive
along the Missouri border.
:27:20
I might at that.
:27:23
Wages are $10 a month.
:27:24
Triple if the steers
bring $15 at the railroad.
:27:27
- We lose the herd, you lose your wages.
- Fair enough.
:27:29
All right, good luck.
:27:31
Good-bye, Mr. Meeker.
:27:36
- Take care of him, Matt.
- Sure.
:27:40
I take it I'm hired.
:27:43
You're hired.
:27:45
Brand them all.
Everything that can walk.
:27:48
Yes, sir!
Brand them all, boys! Get going!
:27:52
You ought to stick around
back there.
:27:53
- What for?
- See the shooting.
:27:55
- You reckon they're going to fight?
- Not yet.
:27:58
They'll just paw at each other,
find out what they're up against.
