-I'll send you a telegram.
-Thanks, brother.
:13:02
-Thanks for the help, Cole.
-You did plenty over at our place.
:13:07
-You miss it, don't you?
-What, the war?
:13:10
Hell, no.
:13:11
I miss things about it, but. . . .
:13:14
-It was exciting.
-Yeah.
:13:15
It was a lot of killing.
Why miss that?
:13:18
Because we were good at it.
Shoot, we were great at it.
:13:22
Tell anybody this and I'll kill you.
You know I'm the toughest man in town.
:13:27
But you are one terrifying
son of a bitch with guns.
:13:35
Boys.
:13:42
Howdy, folks, how are you?
:13:44
-Howdy?
-Easterners.
:13:45
Fine, thank you, sir.
:13:47
I'm Rollin H. Parker,
emissary to Thaddeus Rains. . .
:13:50
. . .president of Rock
Northern Railroad.
:13:52
This is Allan Pinkerton. . .
:13:54
...founder of the Secret Service
and under contract to Mr. Rains.
:13:58
As you no doubt heard,
our railroad's moving west.
:14:01
Well, east would put you underwater.
:14:05
Moving west to open
the frontier to folks.
:14:08
Your acreage is located on
the proposed right of way.
:14:11
I am here to get your signature
on this land-sale contract.
:14:16
And I'm authorized to pay you two
dollars an acre.
:14:19
Two dollars?
:14:20
The price was set by the Department of
the Interior of the U.S. government.
:14:25
-This land ain't for sale.
-I understand how you feel.
:14:28
You've made a lovely home here,
but it isn't up to me or you.
:14:32
You familiar with the right
of eminent domain?
:14:35
Yeah, I am. What about it?
:14:38
This land's about to be condemned.
:14:41
You see, I'm doing you folks a favor.
:14:43
Two dollars an acre
is a one-time-only deal.
:14:46
After today, the price drops.
:14:48
If I were you, I'd sign the contract
and we'll be on our way.
:14:52
Good day, Mr. Parker.
:14:54
You can tell Mr. Thaddeus Rains to put
this where the sun don't shine.
:14:58
