Gambler V: Playing for Keeps

The watch that old boy's wearing might be just the thing,

set your outfit off real nice.

I bet he didn't buy all that gold

on a policeman's pay either.

Get these animals out of here!

You, stop ringing that, stop ringing that bell.

Then get these cows out of my way!

Stop, stop honking that horn!

Who is in charge of these animals?

Come on, move 'em, move 'em, move 'em!

What about my schedule, sheriff?

I dare you. Don't dare me.

Yeah, I'm daring you. Don't dare me.

You're crazy if you think I'm gonna try

to lift his watch in broad daylight.

Besides, he's heeled. So what?

So are you.

Not so's you noticed, am I?

No, not so's you'd notice.

But the more I think about it,

the more I think you have to have that watch.

I double dare you. Don't go to double dare me,

Butch. I'm double daring you.

And don't call me Butch in a crowded street.

All right, George.

Come on, let's get it.

Get!

Go on, get!

Get the damn trail boss here.

Get out of here!

Stop honking that horn.

You hear me?

I said stop!

Now hold on, I got it now.

I got it.

Sir, we'll take care of this.

Move that car!

Thank you.

And those cattle, move the cattle now!

All right? Let's get.

I'm giving you one minute.

Come on, get out of my way.

Move it now.

Get out of my way.

Stop them.

Stop, stop them!

Stop them!

Stop!

Watch out!

Can you still hear me?

Stop!

I am serious, boys.

I said stop!

Here, you wanted it. Damn fool.

You probably made us late for the photograph.

I told you not to double dare me.

Robbie McCracken, one of Fort Worth's finest.

Fanny, I'm just doing my job.

I'm after a couple of pickpockets.

And I suppose you were just trying to do your job

when you and Sergeant Emory

tried to street hustle my girl Louisa Friday night.

If you wanna do business with any of Fanny Porter's girls,

you come to Fanny Porter's front door.

You know, it's a sad day in Texas when a taxpayer

can't even count on the police to do the right thing.

I.

Thanks, Fanny. You're a jewel, Fanny.

Afternoon, everybody.

Well, it's about time.

If you two jokesters

don't stop pulling schoolboy pranks.

Butch, I've been thinking.

I don't want my picture took.

If I looked like you,

I wouldn't want my picture took either.

Etta, Louisa, you two are radiant.

We about gave up on you.

We were gonna call the whole thing off.

We've been jewelry shopping.

Now Etta, you tell me,

has your man ever looked so fine and elegant?

Just the touch.

You should have seen Fanny.

She had one of Fort Worth's finest backing like a crawfish.

Robbie McCracken.

Thank you.

May we please get started?

Oh, yes, I'm sure Mr. Schwartz has many appointments.

And I am running a little behind.

You'd be Mr. Jones, Mr. Johnson?

Mr. Johnson.

Mr. Jones.

Please be seated.

I think that one. Yeah.

Come on, jump in here, kid.

You're either with us or not.

Yeah, come on,

every picture needs at least one pretty face.

You make me this handsome,

or I'll kill you.

I'm gonna stand.

What's it gonna be, hats on or off?

Gentlemen never wear their hats under a roof.

That settles it, hats on.

Be serious.

Here, Brady, let me give you a hand.

You act like I can't do anything.

I can do this.

Well, all right.

Brady, I am no carpenter.

And I'm no roofer.

I left home so I wouldn't have to split shingles, Brady.

Don't you even think about welshing

on our deal, Billy Montana.

I won this ranch in a poker game.

I staked you and you lost.

You're supposed to stay here and help me fix this up.

Yeah sure, I agreed to help you fix her up

and to get her sold, but you're building a nest here.

Neither one of us knows a doggone thing about ranching.

I tried to give you a hand.

You're helpless as two hens on a plow handle.

A man learns to do by doing.

I know what I'm doing.

I been here since the first day this place was built.

Yeah?

I sure hope you're in better shape

than this place, you old goat.

What?

Ow!

Son of a.

Billy, Billy, Billy.

What more could a man want?

Yeah, well a few green trees wouldn't hurt.

It's gonna be a full bloom come springtime.

Trees been dead 10 years.

Yeah, this spring we'll have 100 cows and 100 calves.

Next spring, 200 cows, 200 calves.

That's how it works, just grows on its own.

The coyotes, the wolves, the drought,

if that blue norther yonder coming right at us

don't kill off the whole herd before New Year's.

Why do you think that fella that tossed this place

into the pot was smiling?

That's the first thing you got right.

How's this, Frisco?

Backwards.

What?

Let me do it, you mule-headed fool.

If you wanna help, why don't you climb on up there

and hand me some of them shingles?

Don't see what you see in this place.

You can't hand down four of a kind or a royal flush.

Now cattle, water and land, that's a legacy.

Legacy my ow!

Agh!

Ooh!

You bull-headed fools won't live to see spring.

Ow.

Here. Oh.

I was hoping you were through with your bellyaching.

I got the worst of it.

How bad did that nail get me?

I've been cut worse sitting on a prickly pear.

Here, Brady.

Look, maybe you won't be sitting in the saddle
