:48:03
What do you say, Preacher?
:48:06
What I say doesn't matter.
It's your sweat he's buying.
:48:10
Why don't you sleep on it,
make the decision in the morning?
:48:14
What if we don't decide in the morning?
What happens if we can't decide?
:48:19
Then I suppose LaHood'll take that as no.
:48:22
Then what?
:48:24
He said he'd call in a marshal.
:48:26
What kind of a threat is that?
:48:29
We have nothing to fear from the law.
:48:32
This is no ordinary kind of marshal.
:48:35
His name is Stockburn.
He travels with six deputies.
:48:39
And they uphold whatever law
pays them the most.
:48:42
Killing is a way of life with them.
I'm telling you this...
:48:45
...because if you decide against
LaHood's offer, you'll meet him.
:48:49
You know this Stockburn?
:48:54
I've heard of him.
:48:59
We all know what we're up against.
:49:02
He ain't just saying, "Take my offer. "
He's saying, "Take it or else. "
:49:07
We're family men.
We're no match for seven guns.
:49:10
Yeah, but how many of us are there?
Twenty?
:49:15
I heard the preacher.
I know these men are professionals.
:49:18
But it's still twenty against seven, ain't it?
:49:22
And we know how to pull
a damn trigger, don't we?
:49:27
If it comes down to it,
I'll fight before I'll quit my claim...
:49:32
...but, damn it, LaHood's offer's fair.
:49:35
I still vote we take his money
and we start afresh elsewhere.
:49:39
Starting fresh sounds good
when you're in trouble...
:49:42
...but before we vote to pack up
and leave...
:49:46
...I think we should ask why we're here.
:49:48
If it's no more than money,
then we're no better than LaHood himself.
:49:54
Spider here asked a question.
:49:56
If any of us turned up $1,000 worth
of nuggets, would he quit? Hell, no!
