:30:07
I'd like to talk to you.
I'm Nelse McLeod.
:30:10
I thought so. Pretty far
off your range, aren't you?
:30:13
A little. Drink?
:30:15
- Why not?
- You, too.
:30:17
Glasses.
:30:19
- You working now, Thornton?
- No.
:30:22
- Is it all right if music play now?
- Yeah, sure.
:30:27
You're not working. What would
you say if I tried to hire you?
:30:31
- First I'd ask about the money.
- Money's good.
:30:35
Then I'd ask about the job.
:30:37
Good evening.
Thanks for the drink, gentlemen.
:30:39
- Just a minute, son.
- I am not your son.
:30:43
My name is Alan Bourdillion Traherne.
:30:46
- Lord Almighty.
- Yeah.
:30:49
That's why most people call me
Mississippi.
:30:51
- Mississippi?
- I was born on the river in a boat.
:30:53
You're pretty good with that knife.
Can you use a gun?
:30:57
If I could, I'd be using one.
Good evening.
:31:01
Just a minute, Mississippi.
:31:03
Why do you have
such a great passion for my company?
:31:07
Will you just relax
for a couple of minutes?
:31:10
About that job.
:31:12
A little range war
in the El Dorado country.
:31:14
El Dorado?
Mind telling me who hired you?
:31:18
Fellow named Bart Jason.
Do you know him?
:31:21
We met. He offered me the job
a few months back. I didn't take it.
:31:27
Do you know who you're up against?
:31:29
Yeah. The sheriff, J P Harrah.
:31:32
I understand he used to be
pretty good with a gun.
:31:34
Not just pretty good, McLeod.
He's the...
:31:37
- The fourth man you told me about.
- Right.
:31:41
He used to be. He's not any more.
:31:43
- What happened?
- What usually happens to a man.
:31:46
A woman.
:31:48
Seems he tangled with some wandering
petticoat, been drunk ever since.
:31:53
You're moving in before he sobers up,
or before they get a new sheriff?
:31:58
- And you're not coming in?
- No.
