01:05:17This is my bed.
01:05:19No, it's all right.
01:05:21No, go on.
01:05:23Lodged.
01:05:41How long has he been going at that stump?
01:05:51Yesterday morning.
01:05:53You like it here?
01:05:55It's all right.
01:06:01How lonesome for a woman.
01:06:03Same as for a man.
01:06:05I reckon.
01:06:07Same to me what you do is lonesome.
01:06:17I guess you'd be right.
01:06:19I don't know.
01:06:21That man last night said they hang some of your bunch.
01:06:31It ain't my bunch, ma'am.
01:06:33What are you going to do, Vern?
01:06:35Talk?
01:06:37What am I?
01:06:39How you can go to sleep beats me anyway.
01:06:43Well, I guess I can't.
01:06:49You ladies got anything to do while you go on?
01:06:57Wes?
01:07:01Hey, Wes, what was that with you and Cain?
01:07:09I don't know.
01:07:11I don't know.
01:07:13I don't know.
01:07:15I don't know.
01:07:17I don't know.
01:07:19I don't know.
01:07:21I don't know.
01:07:23I don't know.
01:07:25Cain?
01:07:29Damn, what do you want to do, talk is all?
01:07:33It's better than sitting here all day listening to myself.
01:07:37I don't know.
01:07:41You wanna play checkers?
01:07:43Yeah.
01:07:45You got any checkers?
01:07:47Yes, we do.
01:07:49Can we use them?
01:07:51The bar of the checkers.
01:08:19Stealer horses.
01:08:21What's the matter with you?
01:08:22There just don't seem to be no end to it.
01:08:26No use to that.
01:08:27Yeah, it strikes me peculiar just the same.
01:08:32What's that?
01:08:35Settin' here, playin' checkers.
01:08:39Well, there's a bunch of men out there lookin' to string us up.
01:08:45Why don't you put a tune to it?
01:08:49We're in the scout, boy.
01:08:53You can't cash in with that game.
01:08:57Gettin' strung up is better.
01:09:01Nobody's gonna just put a name to me and that's it.
01:09:06I'd like to take a whack at that stunt myself.
01:09:12Come on, play.
01:09:16I don't know.
01:09:18I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:20You never get nothin' drovin'.
01:09:24It's the less work I done on you, the better.
01:09:28I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:32I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:36I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:40I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:44I'm gonna think about it.
01:09:45I've been doin' the same work I done on a weekday since I was 4.
01:09:49Less'n I was sick.
01:09:50One!
01:09:51What's funny?
01:09:52They ain't playin' with us.
01:09:54They burned their mouths out.
01:09:58Two!
01:09:59It's your move, Vern.
01:10:02I know it.
01:10:04You're horse thieves.
01:10:06Indians?
01:10:10Well, come on, play.
01:10:13Where have you been, Hatt, Vern?
01:10:15I moved already.
01:10:29He stopped.
01:10:31Let's see what he's doing.
01:10:33Nah, we ain't found him yet.
01:10:35Probably won't, we don't get him today.
01:10:39Where's your women from?
01:10:41I don't know.
01:10:43Bacon today.
01:10:45Bacon? Is that right?
01:10:53Well, I'm advance scouting.
01:10:55Main body's moving along this way.
01:10:57What the hell are they talking about, Vern?
01:10:59Well, the sodbusters are spilling the beans.
01:11:03Something the matter with you?
01:11:05No.
01:11:07You're acting mighty peculiar, for nothing's the matter.
01:11:13They're here.
01:11:15Yeah, that's what I thought.
01:11:17Where are they at in the house?
01:11:19They got the women. What are we gonna do?
01:11:21Now, you don't look at the house.
01:11:23You start pointing off behind me.
01:11:25I'm just gonna ease out of here and get some help.
01:11:27You act like you're giving me direction someplace,
01:11:29like I'm just passing through.
01:11:31Now?
01:11:33Now, will I finish?
01:11:35Make him come out to you to find out what happened.
01:11:37Stall him.
01:11:41We gonna leave him go?
01:11:43Well, ain't no other way.
01:11:45Gunfire'd bring him down on us.
01:11:47Do us a favor.
01:11:49Thinking we're dumb enough to go for whatever it is.
01:11:55As soon as he's out of sight.
01:11:59Stay inside.
01:12:05Come on, let's go.
01:12:13Hey, stay out of there!
01:12:27They're taking our stock.
01:12:35Come on.
01:12:43Hold it right there!
01:12:55What do you think?
01:12:57Take two minutes, see if you can find out.
01:12:59Could be anything.
01:13:05Well, he's reloading.
01:13:07Come on!
01:13:35Yeah, yeah.
01:14:05Come on.
01:14:35Come on.
01:14:49We're sorry about this, ma'am.
01:14:51I hope you hang them.
01:14:53Don't worry. They've seen their last sunrise.
01:14:55One of them is shot.
01:14:57They won't get far now.
01:14:59Come on.
01:15:05Come on.
01:15:35Come on.
01:16:05Come on.
01:16:35Come on.
01:16:51Let me down.
01:16:53No, we can't, Byrd.
01:16:57I ain't going.
01:17:05I bought it, Wes.
01:17:07Go on.
01:17:11Go on, you're wasting time.
01:17:13I can't just leave you.
01:17:15You have to do that, boy.
01:17:19Can't you see that?
01:17:21Go on.
01:17:35Come on.
01:18:05Come on.
01:18:35Come on.
01:19:05Come on.
01:19:17We've got him now.
01:19:35Come on.
01:20:05Come on.
01:20:35What about the other one?
01:21:05Come on.
01:21:35Come on.
