4 for Texas Page #8

...your pleasure home away from home.

And if you'll just continue to enjoy

yourself...

...Mr. Jarrett will rejoin us shortly.

Please, be our guests, drink up.

Maestro.

Men, let's go.

Come on. Hustle it up.

Everybody, let's go.

Oh, it's Zack Thomas.

Men, get into position.

- I hope Jarrett knows what he's doing.

- Just like we planned it.

Shape up, boys. Shape up.

Don't start anything

unless Mr. Jarrett says so.

Good evening.

You have a reservation?

This boat was my idea.

We're taking over as of now.

This is opening night.

By the time your men and my men...

...figure out who's taking over,

nothing will be left.

If the boat is wrecked

and a customer gets hurt...

You mean there'll be no more gold

mine. What do you suggest?

I don't like to louse up

a new sporting jacket, but...

...maybe you and I could settle

this between us. Winner take all.

I got more men.

You're trying to even up the odds.

Maybe you were man enough

to bet on yourself for a change.

Want to show off, huh?

And you don't, huh?

Well, how about it?

Don't look for no favors, Joe.

- Don't let him get away with that!

- That's just not cricket.

I said, don't look for no favors.

The one who's on his feet

when this is over wins it all.

Everything? Gift-wrapped,

everything. Winner take all.

Everybody out of it.

Just Zack and me.

Everybody out.

All of you.

And you too, and you too.

Hold it!

Stay here until we hear

that whistle.

You three, and you three,

stay with me.

Wait a minute!

You heard what he said.

We'll wait and see

who'll come out upright!

- What did you say?

- I said upright!

Hold it.

Hold, hold.

That dirty rat Burden!

I know why he wouldn't give you

access to this dock!

He let the Spindrift sail empty

and then scuttled it.

He probably intends

to sell me my own cotton.

Nice reliable fellow

to do business with.

I won't hand you Galveston on a silver

platter. You'll have to take it.

- Come on in, Max.

- I won't go for that old joke.

No, Zack.

I really didn't think you would.

Now, this fight has rules.

I'm here to break the rules.

Why not?

You got the gun.

All right, let's go.

Remember!

Zack Thomas belongs to me.

Well, if I have to die...

...I prefer being killed by the hand

of a beautiful woman.

If you're not careful, my darling,

you might have your wish.

Honey!

Not yet.

Grown men acting like

little schoolboys.

I suggest you both become partners

in everything, including cotton.

I don't like partners.

Hey, boss!

They're coming.

Harvey Burden's men.

Matson is leading them!

How many?

- About a couple of thousand.

- How many?

At least 200.

Partners?

- Partners.

- Welcome, partner.

Partners.

All right, listen to me.

Jarrett and I are partners.

That puts us all together.

Let's deploy and protect the boat.

Come on, ladies.

Andiamo, andiamo.

What's the matter with you?

You heard him. You and I'll

fight together now, Chad.

- Against who?

- Against them, that's who!

That don't seem right,

fighting together. Why?

Why? Because they are the bad guys,

that's why!

- Ain't we the bad guys?

- No, we're the good guys!

Let's go!

- I'm frightened, Sam.

- We'll stay and see the fun.

Ladies, everything'll turn out fine.

He's got an army with him.

Don't be afraid

to use them torches.

- This'll be some bonfire.

- Get set, men. Get ready, come on.

All right, let's go.

Don't let those rats

on the boat.

Watch the torches,

they may try to burn it down.

All right, let's get them.

My eyes!

Keep them off the boat!

I'll take care of them, boss.

You ain't taking care of me.

- Looking for somebody?

- Matson...

...I feel better

when I know what he's doing.

Me too!

Get that daring young man.

- Seen Matson?

- Not yet.

I've been thinking.

You're liable to blow Burden up, too.

He wants this boat blown up.

I can't help it if he's on board.

Don't think.

Wait for me,

you understand?

It's Matson.

Up there on the wheel.

All right, Mr. Matson.

It's your deal.

Looks like the water's on fire.

Because he's arranging

that deal with the devil.

I'm laying eight to five

he doesn't make it back.

Come along with us,

Mr. Burden.

The U.S. Marshal

would like to see you.

Some misunderstanding

about the Spindrift.

Probably nothing at all.

- Harv!

- Don't call me "Harv"!

Ready.

You're going to treasure

this picture.

And you're lucky to have married

two such lovely, innocent girls.

- Don't tell me how to spell!

- I was only trying to help.

I know how to spell!

With four for Texas in the mood...

...they'll have themselves

a real fine brood.

- Like me?

- Yes, like you.

Good guys always get married

and live happily ever after.

If it don't turn out too good,

Zack and me figure we can light out.

And, oh yeah,

this is the end.
