:34:00
Mr. Evans wants you to come
as soon as you can.
:34:03
- Oh, excuse me.
- Ellen, this is Mr. Hatton.
:34:06
How do you do, Mrs. Irving?
:34:08
He's come to tell us about Lee.
:34:11
It's regrettable that we have to meet
under these circumstances, Mrs. Irving.
:34:18
I'm sorry, my boy, but you see,
we never had any children of our own.
:34:22
And to my wife, Lee was...
:34:24
Well, you can understand
how she feels about it.
:34:27
Yes, of course. Anyhow, it was
very gracious of you to receive us.
:34:31
Oh, don't bother about that.
Thank you, sir, l...
:34:35
Miss Irving.
:34:37
I'll not trouble you with apologies...
:34:40
...but I would like you to know
that if I can be of service...
:34:44
...I shall be only too happy.
- Thank you.
:34:46
The only way you can be of service
is to keep out of my sight.
:34:52
I wouldn't take her too seriously,
my boy.
:34:55
Women's logic and emotions
are often very confusing.
:34:59
I think I've heard my father
say the same thing.
:35:01
I'm sure that Miss Abbie has a more
biting tongue than my mother ever had.
:35:07
Gentlemen, let's begin the auction.
:35:09
One thousand six hundred and nineteen
head of prime Texas steer.
:35:13
Grass-fed, fat, frisky, fresh off
the Chisholm Trail. Is that correct?
:35:16
Go ahead. But don't make any sale
until I tell you.
:35:19
The agent reserves his right to refuse
all bids. Who will start us off?
:35:23
- What am I offered?
- Twenty-five dollars a head.
:35:26
Twenty-five from Mr. Surrett.
I'm going to 28.
:35:28
Twenty-eight for the finest herd
of steers that ever come out of Texas.
:35:32
- Mr. Cagle?
- No, sir.
:35:34
Mr. Orth?
:35:35
Here's a cash profit of $50,000
begging to be picked up.
:35:39
- All right, 28.
- Thank you, 28 is bid.
:35:41
Who'll say 30? Thirty, 30, 30.
Nobody will raise it?
:35:44
- Thirty dollars.
- Thirty dollars.
:35:46
Anybody raise that?
Anybody say 32?
:35:50
How about you, Mr. Orth?
:35:52
Going to Mr. Surrett for $30.
Once. Going twice.
:35:57
Hold on.
:35:58
Mr. Surrett and Mr. Orth
be kind enough to step up here.
