VINCE BEING THE YOUNGEST FELT THE PROTECTION OF HIS TWO OLDER
BROTHERS. BUT WHAT BOTHERED MEADOWS WAS THAT VINCE DID NOT
UNDERSTAND THE ENVIRONMENT HE WAS THRUST IN.
MEADOWS ASKED CLAYTE, IS HE FASTER THAN YOU. CLAYTE SAID, "WELL
LET'S PUT IT THIS WAY. HE THINKS I'M FASTER, THEN HE SAID SORT
OF SMILING, LET'S LEAVE IT THAT WAY.
JACK: DO YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE GUILTY ONES. MEADOWS: YES
I WANT TO KNOW, BUT NOT YOUR WAY. I TOLD YOU THERE WOULD BE
NO MORE KILLINGS, AT LEAST NOT THE WAY YOU KILL. JACK: DEAD
IS DEAD, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE. MEADOWS: REMEMBER JACK, NO
DOG MEAT KILLING. BARTENDER: NO DOG MEAT KILLING, WHAT IS THAT.
JACK: (SORT OF SMILING) THAT IS WHERE WE TAKE THE GRINGO AND
TIE HEEM UP AND PUT HIM OVER RED HOT COALS, AND WHEN HE IS DONE,
WE USE HEEM FOR DOG MEAT.
THEN CARMON SAID TO HIM, WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE AND SAY
HELLO TO YOUR SON. MEADOWS: WE HAVE A SON? CARMON: A LONG
TIME AGO I TOLD YOU I WOULD HAVE YOUR BABY, AND HE WOULD BE
A SON. SO MEESTER MEADOWS, SAY HELLO TO OUR SON.
MEADOWS, CLAYTE AND VINCE SORT OF SPREAD OUT A LITTLE. MEADOWS:
HOWDY BOYS, ANYTHING WE CAN HELP YOU WITH? WE KNOW WHAT YOUR
LOOKING FOR AND IT IS NOT HERE, SO YOU BEST SADDLE UP AND HEAD
NORTH. THERE'S PLENTY OF PLEASURE NORTH OF HERE. COW POKE:
THIS IS MY BROTHER NED BARLOW. IN CASE YOUR NOT AWARE OF IT
WE ALL RODE WITH QUANTRILL. WE RODE SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE YOUNGER
BOYS AND FRANK AND JESSEE JAMES. MEADOWS: QUANTRILL AIN'T HERE,
HALF THE YOUNGERS ARE IN PRISON, AND JESSEE JAMES IS DEAD.
SINCE THESE FELLOWS CAN'T HELP YOU, MAYBE YOU SHOULD MOVE ON.
SHIEK AMMON ABUDAHL COMES TO TOWN: HE HEARD ABOUT THE FINE
HORSES YOU HAVE AND I TOO HAVE FINE HORSES. MY HORSES ARE TALL
AND SLENDER AND FAST, BUT THEY LACK ENDURANCE AND STRENGTH.
WE COULD MAKE A DEAL AND RAISE THE FINEST HORSES IN THE WORLD.
SHIEK: (SPEAKING TO CLAYTE) YOU HAVE PICKED A VERY GOOD SERVANT
GIRL. SHE SHOULD GIVE YOU MANY FINE SONS. THE PICKING OF A
GOOD WOMAN IS LIKE PICKING FINE HORSES. I CAN SEE YOU HAVE
AN EYE FOR BOTH. IF YOUR HORSES ARE OF THE SAME QUALITY AS
YOUR SERVANT GIRL, WE SHOULD DO GREAT BUSINESS TOGETHER.
SALLY: SO MR CLAYTON WEST. I AM TALL, I AM STRONG, I WILL
GIVE YOU PLEASURE, I WILL GIVE YOU SONS. CLAYTE: I DIDN'T SAY
THAT THE SHIEK DID. BUT I KNOW A LITTLE COVE AHEAD WE COULD
SLIP OVER THERE AND TALK ABOUT THE PLEASURES YOU WILL GIVE ME.
SALLY: WHY DON'T WE DO THAT. THE FIRST TREE I COME TO, I'LL
STRETCH YOU UP BY YOUR THUMBS AND POUR HONEY OVER YOUR FEET
AND WATCH THE DESERT ANTS CRAWL ALL OVER YOU AND I CAN SET THERE
AND KNIT A SHIRT, FOR YOUR PLEASURE, WHILE I LISTEN TO YOU SCREAM
YOUR GUTS OUT.
