:57:03
Good morning, friend.
:57:06
Where'd you get the water
to make coffee?

:57:08
- I took it out of the olla.
- You did, did you?

:57:10
We didn't carry that water here
for you to make coffee.

:57:13
- I didn't know water was so hard to get.
- You know it now.

:57:16
I'll fill it up for you.
:57:18
What's up?
:57:19
I caught this guy stealing our water.
:57:21
The next time I'll let it out of you
through two little round holes.

:57:24
I thought I was among civilized men
who wouldn't begrudge me fresh water.

:57:28
Who's not civilized?
:57:36
I could easily do the same for you.
:57:38
It's not settled yet who'd come out on top.
:57:41
This time I took it.
:57:43
Thanks for your kind attention.
:57:44
If I was you, stranger,
I'd pack up and go while the going's good.

:57:48
I mean to stay right here.
:57:49
The brush and the mountains are free,
aren't they?

:57:51
Sure. That's right,
whoever's first on the spot.

:57:54
That holds for hunters,
but not for gold miners.

:57:56
Unless they have happened
to have registered their claim.

:57:58
Who says we have a claim to register?
:58:00
Whatever you say or don't say,
tomorrow I start to dig for gold here.

:58:12
I know you guys
can bump me off any minute...

:58:15
but that's a risk worth running
considering the stakes.

:58:17
Let's lay all our cards on the table.
:58:19
As I see it, you guys have to do
one of three things:

:58:22
Kill me, run me off
or take me in with you as a partner.

:58:25
Let's consider the first.
:58:27
Another guy may come along tomorrow.
Maybe a dozen other guys.

:58:30
If you start killing them...
:58:31
how far are you prepared to go?
Ask yourselves that.

:58:34
Also, don't forget,
the one actually to do the bumping off...

:58:37
would forever be in the power
of the other two.

:58:39
The only safe way would be
for all of you to drag out your cannons...

:58:42
and bang away at the same instant
like a firing squad.

:58:45
We wouldn't stop at anything
to protect our interests.

:58:47
I claim killing me isn't it.
:58:50
But, of course, that's for you to decide.
:58:53
As for choice number two...
:58:55
you run me off,
I might very well inform on you.

:58:57
We'd get you if you did that.
:58:59
We'd get you
if we had to go all the way to China.
