Tell anybody this and I'll kill you.
You know I'm the toughest man in town.
:16:08
But you are one terrifying
son of a bitch with guns.
:16:18
Boys.
:16:25
Howdy, folks, how are you?
:16:28
-Howdy?
-Easterners.
:16:30
Fine, thank you, sir.
:16:32
I'm Rollin H. Parker,
emissary to Thaddeus Rains. . .
:16:35
. . .president of Rock
Northern Railroad.
:16:38
This is Allan Pinkerton. . .
:16:40
...founder of the Secret Service
and under contract to Mr. Rains.
:16:45
As you no doubt heard,
our railroad's moving west.
:16:49
Well, east would put you underwater.
:16:53
Moving west to open
the frontier to folks.
:16:56
Your acreage is located on
the proposed right of way.
:17:00
I am here to get your signature
on this land-sale contract.
:17:07
And I'm authorized to pay you two
dollars an acre.
:17:10
Two dollars?
:17:12
The price was set by the Department of
the Interior of the U.S. government.
:17:17
-This land ain't for sale.
-I understand how you feel.
:17:21
You've made a lovely home here,
but it isn't up to me or you.
:17:26
You familiar with the right
of eminent domain?
:17:29
Yeah, I am. What about it?
:17:32
This land's about to be condemned.
:17:36
You see, I'm doing you folks a favor.
:17:39
Two dollars an acre
is a one-time-only deal.
:17:42
After today, the price drops.
:17:44
If I were you, I'd sign the contract
and we'll be on our way.
:17:50
Good day, Mr. Parker.
:17:51
You can tell Mr. Thaddeus Rains to put
this where the sun don't shine.
:17:57
