Why?
1:04:21
Why, in damn it, would a sick old man
like you get tangled up in all this?

1:04:31
Why, in the name of sweet Jesus?
1:04:33
What is so important about
this gut-twisting, back-busting...

1:04:37
...man-killing goddamn race?
1:04:39
-The money?
-The prize.

1:04:45
-The prize is the money.
-The prize is winning.

1:04:49
Lose, you're nothing.
1:04:51
Who remembers a loser, or even cares?
1:04:54
Win, you're somebody.
1:04:57
What you done, it's printed.
It's in a newspaper.

1:05:00
And when it's printed, it ain't brag.
It's real.

1:05:03
Suddenly, everybody knows you,
or wants to.

1:05:06
Strangers shaking your hand.
"Pleased to know you.

1:05:10
"Have a drink, have a cigar.
Meet the wife."

1:05:15
Everybody's friendly and welcome.
1:05:18
I got a lifetime hunger for being welcome.
1:05:23
No family?
1:05:25
Him.
1:05:27
You know saddle tramps. They sign on...
1:05:31
...drive the beef 1,000 miles,
make your mark...

1:05:34
...draw your pay,
and move on to the next ranch.

1:05:38
Another round up. Another drive.
1:05:41
Hired, fired, and move on.
1:05:45
Never bothered me none.
1:05:46
No. Me neither,
when I was 30 years lighter.

1:05:51
Ever prospected?
1:05:54
Ever hit pay dirt?
1:05:59
I've dug for gold, silver, lead, mercury.
