:19:01
I could see a light...
:19:03
...shining around his head.
:19:06
Just like a halo.
:19:10
You mean to tell me
you dragged me 40 miles...
:19:12
...all the way out here, for that?
:19:14
I did not drag you, Marshal McCabe.
:19:16
You had reasons of your own
for coming, remember?
:19:19
All right, Jim. All right.
:19:20
Let's just say that I got my own
good reasons for going back.
:19:24
- Lf I could catch a few hours sleep...
- Sleep?
:19:26
Could you sleep knowing
what a disappointment...
:19:29
...this is going to be
to those people?
:19:31
I'll sleep like a baby.
:19:32
- I'll be happy to prove it.
- Now, wait. Take it easy.
:19:35
You saw how those people looked
at you when we rode in.
:19:38
I sure did. I sure did.
:19:39
Now that you explained to me
why they looked at me like that...
:19:42
...I can't say I'm too impressed.
:19:44
That was the same kind of a look
the Romans gave the Christians...
:19:47
...just before they turned
the lions loose.
:19:50
All right. But you've had dealings
with Quanah Parker before.
:19:52
He knows you. He trusts you.
:19:56
Quanah Parker
wouldn't trust his mother.
:19:59
Of course I've had dealings with him
with horses and hides.
:20:03
A little gold one time.
:20:04
- Weapons?
- Yeah, yeah, a few weapons.
:20:07
But I'll tell you this, I never once
rode out of that camp of his...
:20:10
...without having the feeling that I'd
left something important behind me.
:20:15
Like my scalp, for instance.
:20:16
Would money influence your decision?
:20:21
Yeah. Yeah, might.
:20:24
I'd be exceeding my authority...
:20:27
...but I'm prepared
to enrol you as a chief scout.
:20:30
The pay is that of a first lieutenant.
:20:34
- Eighty dollars a month?
- And found.
:20:41
Well, now, major...
:20:43
Now, I'll tell you what I'll do...
:20:45
...just to show you
my heart's in the right place.
:20:48
Now, there's 100,
2, 3... There's $400.
:20:51
Good Yankee currency. That'll buy you
five chief scouts for a month.
:20:55
Now, you tell them just exactly
what you told me:
:20:58
That all they have to do is to ride
into Quanah Parker's camp...
