01x16 - The Luke O'Malley Story

[bunniefuu]

Cards, Mr. Romero?

Three cards.

Three cards of
an improvement, O'Malley.

Anything to brighten
your evening, señor.

No cards for you?

I like what I have.

It's the key to a happy life...

Be content with things
as they are.

O'Malley, you flap
your mouth too much.

Bet your cards.

I won't miss you
from here, Romero.

I'll blow you clean
out of the place

if you make another move.

What a pity, señor.

He had to come to arrest you
while you still had a few dollars left!

You told him, O'Malley.

You sent the word
that I was here.

Of course not, señor.

Would that be sporting?
Does that sound like me?

There were only two people
who knew I was coming to town,

her and you.

Her I trust.

She's a lot prettier than I am.

I will k*ll you, O'Malley.

I will cut you like a chicken,

and your bones
will poison the earth!

All right, Romero, come on.

You drivin' like this
on purpose?

You haven't missed a bump
all day long!

I'm sorry, Major.

You know, I still think you
ought to try that snake oil I...

Oh, you and your snake oil!

Hold up a minute!
Give me a rest!

h*!

Howdy, Major.

How's the back?

Listen, Flint-head,

the next fellow that rides up
here and asks me how my back is,

I'm gonna get down off of here
and bend a crutch over his head!

What are you up to, anyhow?

I'm gonna ride into Little
Storm and line up some supplies.

If you're good, I might even
bring you back some snake oil

that Chuck's always
recommending for your back.

Well, if you find any, rub
some on your head, will ya?

I'll do that.

Go on, get out of here.
Wagons, h*!

Howdy. Howdy.

Some whiskey, please. Yes, sir.

Happy to serve you. Thank you.

You're the first man
besides O'Malley here

that's passed up the hangin'.

Oh? A hanging's not my idea of
sport. Who are they stringing up?

Romero.

Finally got him, huh?

O'Malley is a buddy of Romero's.

They're playing cards
right at that table

when the marshal got him.

O'Malley is tops for cards...

at least
around these parts, son.

How come you didn't go, Luke?

I share this young man's
feelings about hangings, Joe.

I kind of get a rope burn
around my neck

every time I think of one.

Even Romero's?

Even Romero.

He was always a friend of mine.

I can't say I won't miss him.

Care to join me
in a drink, young man?

No, thanks. I've got to get
over to the store.

Have one on me.

You know, maybe you ought
to have a little talk with Romero

before it's too late.

What about?

Oh, I understand that
he thinks you're the one

who tipped off the marshal
he'd be here the other night.

Now, that's a lie,
and you know it.

Sure.

But if they string him up,

you'll have a hard time
convincing his pals it ain't so.

What are you talking about?
He was only joking.

Come out, O'Malley!

Come out and get skinned
like the skunk that you are!

He was joking, all right.

For heaven's sake,
those kids...!

Children, you all right? Mae?

All right, come on, children, I
want you to change your clothes.

Where we goin', Pa?

Never mind. Don't ask questions.

Just get your clothes changed.

This time you're really
frightened, aren't you?

You've got no right to
take those children with you!

You hear what I say?

Luke, I'm your sister!

I say you've got no right to
take those children with you.

Listen, where I go, they go.

That's all there is to that.

You've got no right!

That hat is Preacher Bailey's!

Whose?

Jeremiah P. Bailey's,
a preacher.

He's got a mission church
about 50 miles from here.

He left a few things here
for me to mind.

You know something?

I think I could pass
as a preacher

if I just shave off
that mustache and cut my hair.

What do you think, Mae?

I think you're
an unholy disgrace

and a terrible example
to your children.

Take the preacher's clothes off!

You feel much better now,
eh, Capitan?

Oh, there is no charge
for feeling better, Danito.

It is free...
like other people's money.

Shut up.

As you say...

but it will be difficult
for me to be still.

Ohh! I am sad I could not
give you O'Malley

like an enchilada on a dish!

We could have k*lled him
in the town.

You hear what I say?

Sí.

Sí, Danito, I hear you,
but there was no time.

You want all your money, Danito?

He cheated. How you know?

How could he take from me
$20,000 if he did not cheat?

I do not know.

It seems impossible.

Saints or devils would have
to come to his assistance

to beat a player such as you.

That I know. That I do believe!

I would k*ll O'Malley by myself,

without any help from you.

Do you hear me, Harry?

You listen to what I say?

Sí.

Sí, Danito, I hear you.

Vamanos.

Andale.

Vamanos. Andale.

h*-ohh!

Good afternoon, sir.

Well, howdy, Parson.

Aren't you traveling
a little light?

Allow me to introduce
myself, sir.

I am the Reverend
Jeremiah P. Bailey,

and these are my two
children, John and Katherine.

I see. Well, do you always
travel like this,

or did you lose your wagon?

No, sir, we were
set upon and robbed,

and let with these
few meager possessions.

Any idea who did it?

No, sir,

but they were as vicious a band
of cutthroats as I have ever seen,

and it was only by the grace of
God that our lives were spared.

I had a report that
an outlaw named Romero

had beaten the noose and
was operatin' in these parts.

Might have been his bunch.

Which way were they headed?
They were headed north, sir.

Well, he can't head
too far north to suit me.

You, uh...

you say you're a widower, huh?

Yes, sir.
My dear wife passed on...

May she rest in peace...
Several years ago.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Well, it's gonna be dark
pretty soon.

We can't leave you
sittin' out here

like three owls
perched on a tree limb.

Where were you headin' when
these outlaws caught up with you?

Well, I was hoping to open a
small mission west of here, sir.

With just these two
small children to help you?

These are not
ordinary children, sir.

Yeah, I can see that.

Who dressed 'em for this trip,

you or Queen Victoria?

Sir?

Never mind, Reverend.

I guess we can take you
as far as Fort Laramie.

Anything I can do...

for you, Major? Yeah, Bill.

You might see if you can
fix the Reverend up

in one of them supply wagons
back there.

Thank you, sir, and blessings
on you for your kindness.

This way, Parson.

So?

On the Sabbath, sir?

Good mornin', Major. 'Mornin'.

Hey!

You'd dress like that
on a Sunday morning?

I only got one pair of pants.

That preacher fellow you took on
last night borrowed my other shirt.

I think he should have
borrowed this one!

'Morning, Pa.

This is Miss Murphy.

She's digging out Johnny's ears.

She's what?

Just digging out some of
the topsoil, Reverend.

Haven't these children
ever had a bath?

I beg your pardon?

Don't beg my pardon.

I'm not the one
that needs a bath.

What's your name?

Bailey. Reverend
Jeremiah P. Bailey.

Oh, I see.

Well, uh, Reverend
Jeremiah P. Bailey,

I'm sure you must
have heard that

cleanliness
is next to godliness.

Are you inferring, young lady,

that my children
are uncared-for?

No, sir, I'm not.

Obviously they'd be
a lot better off

if they were orphans.

Well! The blue-nosed preacher!

Don't you say nothin'
against my pa!

Well, now, if your pa wants to go
round chasing snakes out of bottles,

I, uh... well, I guess
it's all right with me.

Come, children.

Be right there, Pa.

I'm gonna wait for Johnny.

There you are, Johnny.

Come on, Johnny.

Pa!

She was real pretty,
wasn't she, Pa?

Now, you run along and play, and
you take good care of your brother, now.

'Morning, Major.

Good morning, Miss Martha.

Adrian. How are you
this morning?

Fine.

'Morning, Parson.
'Morning, Major.

Many of our good people here have suggested
that we have a short Sunday service.

I thought as long as
you're with us,

perhaps you'd like to officiate.

Well, I would like to be
of service to you, Major,

but, uh... as you know,
we were set upon,

and, of course, all my worldly
possessions were taken.

Yes. We know about your trouble.

Oh, yeah.

I have a Bible right here.
Wooster!

Yes, sir?

My Bible.

Here you are, Reverend.

Well, thank you, Major.
Thank you.

Brothers.

Sisters.

Friends.

We are all sinners here.

We are traveling together...

to a destination...

that is not bounded
by the hills or the seas.

I speak of the judgment that
awaits you and you and you.

And I do not have to tell you
that mortal days are few.

I, uh,

I am not here today
to censure the gambling man,

though, heaven forbid,
there be one among us,

or worse, perhaps,
a drinking man.

So, let us this day
at least have charity.

As, um, as the prophet
Isaiah has exhorted us,

"Deal our bread to those
who are hungry."

Then indeed, as Isaiah tells us,

"shall our works
shine bright as the morning

and our health and happiness
most speedily arise."

Go in peace.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

That was a mighty nice sermon.
Thank you, Reverend.

Thank you, Major.

Where'd you find
the Preacher, Major?

He rode in yesterday
while you was out huntin',

him and his two young 'uns.

Told me he'd just been
cleaned out by Dan Romero.

Romero? He around here?

Must be.

According to what
the Parson told me,

we only missed him
by a couple of hours.

Between you and me, I'd just as
soon miss him by about a month.

Parson preaches real good.

Funny thing, he reminds me of a
fellow I ran into a couple of days ago.

Cardsharp named O'Malley.

O'Malley? Where was this?

Well, I'll tell you one thing,
it wasn't in any church.

Well, knowing you,
I wouldn't figure it to be.

If Romero's around here,
I'd better ride on ahead.

Yeah.

Where's he goin'?

He's goin' up ahead to see
if he can find Dan Romero.

I didn't know you knew them
kind of words for preachin', Pa.

Did you like my sermon, kitten?

Well, I didn't rightly
know what it meant,

but it sounded good all over.

Didn't sound like me,
though, did it? Well, uh...

Look, kitten, if anybody ever
asks you, I was always a parson.

I never did any other
kind of work, right?

But, Pa... you never did
any work, did you?

So?

I will have to bet
with modesty, Danito.

You have made me poor.

This game is not for you!

If I would bet two coins,
it would frighten you away.

Oh, I like it well enough.

It's just that
I am not skilled enough.

And, as I say, Danito,
you have made me poor.

Besides, I am not O'Malley.

Can I help it if I am not
clever like O'Malley?

Shut up! Don't mention his name!

Oh, Danito, why should it
make you unhappy?

Does not everyone know
you are much more clever?

Honey, don't you think it's
about time you ought to turn in,

take a look at that
little brother of yours?

Oh, John's all right.

I looked at him
just a minute ago.

Oh... unh.

Oh, he's sleepin' fine.

Well, you know, I don't think
your pa's gonna like it much,

you sittin' around here watchin'
us heavy gamblers play cards.

You know that cardsharp's got
me stuck for three cents already!

My pa says that cards are
made in the devil's workshop.

Hmm.

And that Mr. Wooster
must be the foreman.

Your pa's a smart man!

'Evening, Reverend.
Good evening, Miss.

May I sit down?

Helps yourself.
It's a real wide prairie.

I, uh...

I wanted to thank you for the many
kindnesses you've shown the children.

Well, they're unusual children.

They've even changed
my mind about you.

Oh, is that so?

They're much too warm and human

to have been brought up by
the rule book that you seem to be.

I beg your pardon?

Well, for their ages,
I would say

they're the most accomplished
liars I've ever heard.

Well, I...

And that's to your shame.

You know you can't put over
a tall story on the Irish.

Anh-anh!

That one, Major.

How would you know, Katie?

Well...

I just learn fast, Major.

I-I just been watchin'
you and Mr. Wooster.

Yeah, you learn
awful fast, don't you?

Honest...

I don't know a thing
about cards, Major.

Yeah, I, uh... I see.

Tell me something, Katie,

was your Pa always a preacher?

Cross my heart and drop dead
in the middle of Wyoming, Major.

Play, Major.

Hmm.

Well, there's
something fishy here.

Yeah?

I remember McCullough...

last Sunday he told me...

that our parson
reminded him of a cardsharp

that he'd met someplace
by the name of O'Malley.

I think we'd better go pay
our parson a call.

Who are you, anyhow, Reverend?

Why are you taking...?

Why are you taking so much
trouble to try and fool everyone?

Oh, now, let's not bother
talking about me, Martha.

If I were to tell you
the truth about myself,

which I don't often do, I don't
think you'd care for what you'd hear.

I can't say I care much
for it myself.

Well, do you think it's right
dragging your children around

like so many pieces of baggage?

No, ma'am, but I don't know
what else I could do.

O'Malley!

Parson my own pious foot!

Well, is something wrong,
Major? I don't understand.

No, nothing's wrong... much.

You know, you and I will get along
a lot better when you explain to me

just what a professional gambler
and a friend of Dan Romero's

is doing masquerading
as a preacher.

Oh, well, uh, it's really not
as bad as you imagine, Major.

Oh, I'm sure it isn't.
I don't have to imagine.

The facts are
plain enough for me.

Just what are you and Romero
plannin', anyhow?

Romero?

Oh, but I've been tryin'
to get away from Romero!

Yeah, I'll bet you are.
I'll just bet.

Take him up to the wagon, Charlie,
and put a guard on him for the night.

This way to the devil's
workshop, Parson.

Come on, come on, come on.

Martha.

Too bad your hands
are tied, O'Malley.

You could do some of those
fancy card tricks

your little daughter
was tryin' to show us.

Oh, I don't suppose that
would do much good now.

Listen, Major,
that scout of yours,

didn't he tell you
what everybody already knows...

Romero's out to get my hide?

No, he didn't.

He just told me
you were a friend of Romero's.

That was enough for me.

Well, where is this scout now?

He's out in front of
the train, where he belongs.

Major, I...

Why don't you just save
your fancy speeches

till we get to Fort Laramie,

where I'll turn you over
to the law.

Look, Major, you've got this all
wrong. You've got to believe me.

Believe you?

That'll be the day.

But, Major, Romero's
gonna slit my throat!

It's your throat.

He's your friend.

MARTHA: Major Adams?

Yes, Miss Martha, what is it?

Well, I know it's
none of my business,

but I wondered if I could
take care of the children...

well, until we got to Laramie.

Well, I guess you'd be a
little bit better nurse for 'em

than either Charlie or me.

Also, I was wondering if I could
talk to your prisoner for a moment...

alone.

Well, as long as he's not
gonna deal you a hand of poker,

I guess it's all right.

Charlie. Yes, sir. Come on.

Well?

I don't know how to do
tricks with these...

but I imagine you've had
enough tricks for today.

I heard the Major
bellowing at you,

and I heard you answering him.

So?

Look, whether you
are locked in jail

or keep on running from Romero,

it doesn't make
any difference to me,

but who's going to look
after Johnny and Kate?

You should be proud of yourself,

shouldn't you, O'Malley?

Don't you be so righteous
and sure of yourself!

I've taken care of them
since I found them,

and I will continue
to take care of them.

They're not actually yours?

No.

No, their father
got into an argument

in a saloon with a faro dealer,

and there was a gunfight,
and he got k*lled.

Well, I couldn't
just leave them.

There was no one
for them to go to.

Listen, they're mine
because I love them

and I took them as my own.

Does that answer you?

O'Malley...

let me have them.

And I don't mean for a night,
or just a couple of days.

Who are you with your
whisky-wet old man

to tell me what to do?!

You can't insult me, O'Malley,

not with that
big mouth of yours.

It can't even solve the
problems that you're in now.

I didn't mean that.

I really didn't.

I'm sorry. Are you?

Martha...

because of the present
company, let me put it this way...

What do you think of the man
that the Major has all tied up

like a prize hog in a pen?

He's a scoundrel,
that's what I think.

Let's don't
talk about it anymore.

There's probably a lot
in what you say,

but just the same, I like him better
as a rascal than I did as he was.

Well, that's your privilege.

Sure, and I think
you like him better too.

Let's don't talk
about it anymore.

Maybe we won't.

Maybe we'll do just as you
say and not speak about it again.

But, uh, of course,
I-I feel there can be...

no real bad in a man
whose name was O'Malley.

Pa, I...!

Oh, forgive me, darlin'.
I keep forgetting.

Major Adams.

Hello, Katie,
what's on your mind?

Mr. Murphy said I could
argue with you better

if I didn't have to shout
up at you from the ground.

Argue with me? What about?

'Bout seein' my pa.

Johnny cried twice already.

You can't keep us
from seein' him.

Well, I'm sorry, Katie,

but you know your pa
happens to be a prisoner.

You can see him tonight
when we make camp.

You can see him every night,
for that matter, just like we agreed.

But I can't trust Wooster here
to guard all three of you at once.

Wooster isn't that smart.

But Mr. Murphy said
you ain't got no right

to keep us from seein' our pa!

You just go back and tell
your friend Mr. Murphy

that anytime he wants
to start any arguments

to come on up here hisself.

Go ahead, Bill,
take her back to the wagon.

I'm sorry, honey.

Wagons, h*!

Well...

once upon a time,
there was this very rich king.

He was a proud king,
proud as Major Adams,

and he lived in this castle
that was, oh,

five trees high.

How high is five trees?

It is very high.

This king, he was so rich, see,

that one-half of his castle
was just filled with gold.

And he had a big beard,
just like Mr. Wooster,

only, where Mr. Wooster
had oatmeal,

this king had pearls.

But this king was very, very sad

because he didn't have
any children,

and he found out he couldn't
make a child out of gold.

So...

Well, now, here's Mr. Wooster.

All right, you kids, it's past your
bedtime. Up you get, Johnny.

'Night, Pa.

Good night, darlin'. Off you go.

O'Malley, you keep filling
them kids full of hot air,

and they're gonna
take off like balloons.

What do you mean, Chuck?
What's the matter with you?

The matter with me is,

an Army scout stumbled into camp
this afternoon three-quarters dead.

The Major's
caring for him right now.

He was shot from ambush by
some very special friends of yours.

Friends of mine?
What do you mean?

What I mean is this...

As near as the Major
and me can figure,

Romero ain't no more
than 20 miles away.

That's close, O'Malley.
Awful, awful close.

Sorry, Miss Murphy, no fires
tonight for anyone. The Major's orders.

Oh.

'Night. 'Night.

I ain't sayin'
you're with Romero,

and for the sake of them kids,
I hope you ain't.

What's the matter
with you tonight?

Oh, lots of things, I guess.

I guess I can't stand
decent company.

Hey, uh...

how 'bout playin'
a couple of hands?

Come on.

What's the matter?
You're not afraid, are you?

Nope.

Well, then, come on, untie me.

Come on.

All right, O'Malley...

but if you try anything, there's
gonna be a lot of daylight through you.

Aw, come on!

Want me to hold that for you?

High deals.

Come on, deal.

You know, Chuck,

if I could get out of here,

I'd stand as good
a chance as anyone

to keep Romero
away from this train.

If you can get out of here

with a hole in you
the size of a melon,

I got no objections.

Go ahead, deal.

Well!

What would you say,
Chuck, if I told you...

that I had a hard flush
in my hand, what would you do?

I'd eat it, that's what I'd do.

You can't do
them things, O'Malley.

You ain't even drawn a card yet.

Or that I had something
in my other hand

that you'd never seen before.

I wish I were a braver man.

Well, you can't have
everything, Chuck.

O'Malley!
What are you doing here?

Just thought I'd come out
and get a breath of fresh air.

What are you doing here?
I want you to take this.

This is for you and the kids.
This'll buy more than a horse.

We don't want or need your money,
O'Malley. Will you do as I tell you?

You keep that for you and
the kids in case you need it.

Where are you going?

To find Romero.
Just hope I'm not too late.

O'Malley!

Good luck to you, O'Malley.

Pa!

Pa, please, Pa, wait!

No! Shh! Let me go, Martha!

Shh! You don't want the
sentries to hear, do you?

I didn't want
to sh**t it, Major,

until I'd consulted a more
experienced man than meself.

Well, if it's what
I think it is,

you should have shot it first

and then come askin' questions.

Hawks, pull that thing
out here and untie it.

Right, Major.

Don't do that!

Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!

I told you you should
have shot it first!

Where is that horse thief?
How'd you let him get away?

It wasn't my fault, Major. That O'Malley's
just too smart for an honest man like me.

You played cards with him,
didn't you?

After all the times
I told you not to.

Just a small, friendly
game, Major... Oh, shut up!

Anybody around here
seen that McCullough?

Yeah, I saw him about
an hour... Oh, shut up!

He's another bright boy.

Ain't laid eyes on him, or hide
or hair of him, since Sunday.

Now, you listen to me, Wooster.

If that O'Malley comes back here
with Dan Romero and jumps this camp,

I'm going to pull that beard
out of you hair by hair.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Wrap him up again.

Chucklehead.

What are you doing
out here, Parson?

You startled me.

Oh, you're the fellow who
tracks the Indians, aren't you?

You're the fellow
I drank with in Little Storm.

Just keep your hands
where they are, Mr. O'Malley.

Who has interrupted
your journey, Mr. O'Malley?

Oh, now, he's an old
friend of mine, Harry.

We just had a little
misunderstanding.

Something is wrong.

He looks noble and innocent.

How could he be
a friend of yours?

Well, I borrowed some of
his father's clothes...

A preacher friend of mine...

And I was just going
to return them.

O'Malley...

I have met you in 50 saloons

and a hundred card games,

but you have never lied
this badly before.

Take them both to el capitan.

IAndale! iVamanos, amigos!

Where is the money?

It's right there on the table,
Dan, every nickel I own.

$260?

Is that the 20,000 of which
you cheated me, O'Malley?

Is that the money you had in
your hands when you betrayed me

to the marshal in Little Storm?

Look, why don't you take
that pig-sticker out of my neck?

Take it easy, take it easy.

Big fellow like you doesn't
need a big knife like that.

Just 'cause I can beat you at
drinking and gambling and fighting...

Look, will you take it
easy, Dan? Hmm?

Take it easy.

First things first... listen
to what I have to say.

What do you say, you crook, you?

Well, what's the matter
with you?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Just that I kind of miss
that O'Malley.

You what...?!
Get up in that seat!

Major Adams! Major Adams!

Yes, Miss Martha, what is it?

The children are gone. Oh?

We've searched
everywhere for them.

They must have been gone
at least an hour.

Don't worry, we'll find them.

Take a couple of men and see
if you can find those children.

They can't have gotten far.

We want to get to water before
night, so we'll go ahead slow.

Yes, sir. Now, don't you worry.

Go on back to your wagon.
We'll get 'em for you.

Well...!

No tricks, O'Malley.

Come, Danito,
we are waiting for you

to give O'Malley
his lesson in cards.

Take him out of here.

Get him out of my sight. His
honest face makes me sick.

Sí, Capitan.

I bet $50.

That's far enough, amigo.

¿Hace mucho calor, no?

¿Como usted quiere, señor?

That is a splendid
animal, gringo.

Thank you.

If you're the one
that gets him, well,

take care of him, huh?

Bright One, get away from there.

Everything has been counted
and reserved for the capitan.

One look, please.

IAh, una carabana!

No, señor. Así no.

Como así.

Como así.

Your bet, Danito.

Capitan, please!

Throw him out!

¿Esta muy bien, no?

Take it easy, take it easy.

That's not like you, Danito.

I was going to make
a little bet with you

that you couldn't hit
a whale from here.

The wagons!

Now, don't bother
with those wagons.

I'm telling you as a friend,

I just left
that train last night.

There isn't anything there
that's worth a dime.

You lie, O'Malley.

You never saw this train
in your life!

Tell you what I'll do...
I'll bet you a hundred dollars!

$200 I will bet.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that.

Go on, take another look
at the train.

Now, the man driving
the lead wagon is a large man.

Am I right?

So? There is a man.

Ah, but he is like
a duke on parade.

He's a proud man
with a proud mustache!

It's a poor description.

Now look at the fellow
sitting next to him.

I am looking.

He's a small man,

with a face for scrubbing pots.

And I'll bet you when he spits,

he spits to the left.

He did not spit.

Anyone could have
such a face... almost.

Almost. But not quite.

Well, how 'bout my $200?

You were on this train?

You pay me the $200 you owe me,

and I'll tell you more.

$200?!

IAy, caramba!

It's true, Danito!

The man spits to the left!

O'Malley!

Hey, Major! Hold up!

h*, there!

You'd better circle up.
We're in for trouble.

Who is it? Romero?

Yeah. Where is he?

He's about 10 minutes'
ride away,

and he's already
sighted the wagons.

Who pointed out the train
to him? O'Malley?

No. I'll explain later.

Bill, pass the word...
Circle up the wagons!

Right, Major!

Circle the wagons!

Go on, get out of here!

O'Malley, you know so much
about this wagon train,

you can help me pick it clean!

IAndale, muchachos! iVamanos!

Picket lines... establish a camp
between here and the creek!

Get down.

Let me go! Let me go!

If you hurt her, Romero,
I'll k*ll you!

Pa!

Oh, Pa!

What happened to you kids?
Why did you leave the train?

We didn't want to be
anyplace without you, Pa,

no place at all.

These are your
children, O'Malley?

Untie me, will you, Romero.

I promise you,
I won't try to get away.

Loosen my father's hands,
d'you hear? Do it now!

You give me orders, niña?

You stand there telling me
what I should do?

Are you so afraid of my pa
that you have to keep him tied?

Just because he can
beat you at cards,

and fightin' and shootin'
and any old thing?

You should be so ashamed.

I should be ashamed I do not let
him steal the eyes from my head,

or the scalp off the top!

My pa wouldn't go to see
them hang you, Mr. Romero,

because he said
you were his friend...

Low, creepin' critter
that everybody knows you are.

That's what my pa said.

It's true, Danito.
sh**t me for dead.

It's also true you are
a bad card player...

You are a stupid
card player, Danito.

Please, Mr. Romero, let Pa go.

Please, Mr. Romero, please.

We'll give you back your money,

all your money,

if you'll only let him go.

Please, Mr. Romero.

We need Pa so.

No, kitten. No!

Now, you do as I tell you!

It's all right, Pa.

Eh...!

There is more of this on
the wagons train, little sister,

they give such samples to you?

Huh? Is true what I say?

It's the money Pa won from you
at the Little Storm saloon.

Every nickel he won honest,
and you know it, Dan Romero.

Untie him.

You were on
this wagons train too?

You know I was.

I told you everything you saw
through the glasses, didn't I?

There's nothing worth
stealing on that train.

Those are just a lot of poor
folks on their way to California.

You were going there, O'Malley,

out of my life, to California,

so we could never
play cards again?

I was going
to California, Danito.

I'll miss you, O'Malley,
you crook, you.

You're such a cheat...

but I'm gonna miss you.

You know, when I think
of the life I've led

and the things I've done,

I'm just as glad
it turned out the way it did.

I wouldn't want
my children to think

that the most important
thing in the world was money.
