:25:00
I think Meeker might be real pleased
to see our brand on his stock.
:25:05
That I'll argue with Meeker.
:25:07
And now might be a good time. He's
even got some people to back him up.
:25:22
I want to see this.
:25:23
Howdy, Dunson. Matt.
:25:26
I hear you're making
a drive, Dunson.
:25:28
News travels fast.
Yeah, we're going to Missouri.
:25:31
That's what I heard. I also heard
something else yesterday.
:25:33
Cumberland, a neighbor of mine,
drove 3,000 head to the Red River.
:25:37
When he got across,
the Missouri border gangs jumped him...
:25:39
stole the herd, killed all his men.
:25:41
- Hard luck.
- You know about it then?
:25:43
I know about Cumberland and Shriver
and a lot of others...
:25:46
but nobody's gonna take my cattle.
:25:48
I don't want anybody
to take mine either.
:25:50
I hear some of my brand
wandered over this way.
:25:52
- Mind if we look your herd over?
- I do mind.
:25:54
- You'd stop us?
- Yeah, we would.
:25:56
Can't you hold that horse still?
:25:59
Well?
:26:01
- Shall we take that look around?
- You must be new around here.
:26:05
- I told you we'd stop--
- I heard you.
:26:08
Well, Mr. Meeker?
:26:10
Maybe I should introduce you two
before you--
:26:12
- Who are you?
- Some call me one thing, some another.
:26:15
- What do they call you most?
- By my name, Cherry Valance.
:26:18
- Of Val Verde?
- Val Verde way.
:26:22
- We've heard of you.
- Thanks.
:26:24
They say you're good with a gun.
How good?
:26:27
- I manage to stay alive.
- You've been doing pretty good.
:26:31
- Still want to stop us?
- Yeah.
:26:35
Well, Mr. Meeker,
what do you say?
:26:38
At one time, I would have said yes.
But now-- Look, Tom.
:26:42
- Everything I've got--
- Yeah, I know. Me too.
:26:45
We rounded up some of yours, Diego's
and everybody else's around here.
:26:49
And?
:26:51
I haven't got the time
or inclination to cut them out.
:26:54
I'll drive them to Missouri and give you
two dollars a head when I get back.
:26:57
- And if you don't get back?
- That's your gamble.
