I haven't said it all.
You can run your cattle with mine.

1:05:06
What's more, I'll buy your homestead.
1:05:10
Set a price you think is reasonable,
you'll find me reasonable.

1:05:14
Is that fair?
1:05:17
You've made things hard for us,
and we're in the right.

1:05:21
Right? You in the right?
1:05:27
When I came to this country,
you weren't much older than your boy.

1:05:34
We had rough times. Me and other men
that are mostly dead now.

1:05:40
I got a bad shoulder yet
from a Cheyenne arrowhead.

1:05:44
We made this country,
we found it and we made it,

1:05:49
with blood and empty bellies.
1:05:52
Cattle we brought in were hazed off
by Indians and rustlers.

1:05:56
They don't bother you much any more
because we handled 'em.

1:06:01
We made a safe range out of this.
1:06:04
Some of us died doing it,
but we made it.

1:06:08
Then people move in who never
had to raw-hide it through the old days.

1:06:14
They fence off my range
and fence me off from water.

1:06:20
Some of them plough ditches,
take out irrigation water.

1:06:25
So the creek runs dry sometimes
and I gotta move my stock because of it.

1:06:31
And you say we have no right
to the range.

1:06:35
The men that did the work
and ran the risks have no rights?

1:06:40
I take you for a fair man, Starrett.
1:06:45
I'm not belittling what you did,
but you didn't find this country.

1:06:50
There were trappers here
and Indian traders before you.

1:06:54
- They tamed this country.
- They weren't ranchers.

1:06:58
Rights! You think you've the right
to say nobody else has got any.
