:27:02
lf it's hard to get, then you've got something.
:27:04
Like a mink? A mink is hard to catch.
:27:07
Now you've got it. That's the idea exactly.
:27:09
- How about a skunk?
- How about another dish?

:27:12
Calder, how long do you think
it'll take us to get from here to Council City?

:27:17
- You don't knowthis country.
- No, but l got a map here.

:27:23
All right. You're right here.
:27:27
Now, you had some trouble getting here,
and some lucktoo.

:27:30
- There's Council City down there.
- That's not far.

:27:33
A good green log might not make those
rapids between here and Council City.

:27:37
- We made the last one.
- l know. l was there.

:27:41
The river drops from here.
The rapids get worse.

:27:45
You cut through a gorge
of solid wall for 15 miles.

:27:48
The wall goes straight up.
:27:50
The other way is overland, butyou
haven't got a gun, haven't got a horse.

:27:55
- So you say it can't be done.
- You asked me howfar it was, that's howfar.

:27:59
That's enough.
:28:01
Calder, l got a gold claim
to file in Council City.

:28:04
l gotta get there.
:28:06
You can't imagine me being a farmer.
l can't imagine you a prospector.

:28:10
Won it in a stud game.
:28:12
All my life, l won the little pots
and lost the big ones.

:28:15
- This time l got lucky.
- Lucky?

:28:18
With the boob l was playing,
cheatin' would have just gotten in the way.

:28:21
- Then what's your hurry?
- Maybe the man thinks like you do.

:28:25
That it wasn't just luck.
:28:26
- What can he do about it now?
- Maybe try to get to Council City, too.

:28:31
Might get there first,
which'd be bad for one of us.

:28:35
How much do you want
for your horse and gun?

:28:37
Money? What would l do?
Plough that field with a silver dollar,

:28:40
then throw it in some lndian's face?
:28:42
l gotta get there. How much d'you want?
:28:45
Why don'tyou wait till l get
that field seeded, and l'll take you?

:28:48
- l can't wait.
- Well, l can't go.

:28:59
lt isn't there, Calder.
