Burdette has 30 or 40 men,
all professionals.

:24:05
Only things they're worried
about is earning their pay.

:24:09
No, Pat, all I'd be doing is giving them
more targets to shoot at.

:24:14
A lot of people would get hurt.
:24:16
Joe Burdette isn't worth it.
:24:18
He isn't worth one of those
that would get killed.

:24:20
Then what are you going to do?
:24:22
All you got for help is that old man
down at the jail and this--

:24:25
Borrachon is the name,
Mr. Wheeler.

:24:28
I'll go outside so you can talk more freely.
:24:35
Wasn't good, Pat.
:24:37
Let's sit down.
:24:38
Yeah, I know.
:24:40
I shouldn't have said it.
:24:42
I meant nothing by it.
:24:44
But I'm so used to stumbling
over that fellow.

:24:47
I don't think I ever saw him
standing on his own two feet...

:24:49
...without something to hold him up.
:24:51
How long you been coming here?
:24:53
Going on two years.
:24:55
If you'd have come through three years
ago, you wouldn't have stumbled over him.

:24:58
Dude was good.
:25:00
He was my deputy.
:25:01
Best man with a gun I ever worked with.
:25:04
That's pretty hard to believe, Chance.
:25:07
A girl. Just a girl
that came through on the stage.

:25:11
She was no good,
but couldn't tell him that.

:25:13
I tried and he damn near killed me.
:25:17
Anyway, he was hooked.
:25:19
Went away with her.
:25:20
Six months later
he came back without her.

:25:22
That's when the Mexicans
started calling him borrachon.

:25:26
-That's Spanish for--
-I know.

:25:28
He told me.
:25:30
So, for two years he's been drinking...
:25:33
...all he could buy, or somebody would buy
for him until last night.

:25:39
And how long do you think that'll last?
:25:41
I don't know.
:25:43
So in the meantime,
you have to take care of him.

:25:46
He's been doing a pretty good job
of taking care of me.

:25:51
I'm supposed to be your friend, too.
:25:54
-Why don't you let me help you?
-You're not good enough.

:25:57
I don't know! I'm as good--
:25:58
If you're so good,
why did you have to hire Colorado?
