:53:07
You've spent some time in the hills,
haven't you?
:53:10
Most of my life, Tom.
:53:12
- But the world is changing fast.
- I can see that.
:53:17
And a man had better get with it.
:53:20
I've been trying to work
a few things out in my mind.
:53:23
Staying in a hotel and being able
to get a drink right away seems to help.
:53:29
Think you'll ever get back
in them hills again?
:53:32
I don't know. Scares me to death.
:53:48
I see you're carrying a belly gun.
I've never known you to do that before.
:53:52
Well, carrying a rifle in town and all...
:53:59
I got this inquiry from Montana...
:54:01
for a man who could come up there
and see to himself...
:54:06
and look to a few things that-a-way...
:54:09
in respect to the cattle stealing going on
in the Big Moon up there in that district.
:54:13
- What's required?
- Some ability with a rifle.
:54:23
You know, Joe,
nobody ever offered to give me an office.
:54:27
- Make you feel kind of special, does it?
- I don't know.
:54:31
If I had your ability with a rifle...
:54:34
nobody would ever expect me
to come in out of the field.
:54:36
As it is, I spend half my time
on the railroad...
:54:39
handcuffed to some petty criminal,
as just a delivery man.
:54:44
What's the best shot you ever made, Tom?
:54:48
I don't know.
:54:51
What about Mendenhour?
:54:53
If it was me,
I'd say it wasn't much of a shot.
:54:59
Wouldn't you rather shoot a Sharps.50
instead of that.45-.60?
