Barquero Page #4

- Now I will bring him!

What's your name, dude?

I said what's your name, dude!

- Roland, Roland Hal.

- I got you Roland Hall!

And I'm gonna baptize this sinner!

So you better get that boat over here, quick!

We got our own hostage.

- Get him.

- Yeah, Fire Eyes.

- Remy!

- Yeah?

Two can play that game as well as one!

Yeah, I know I keep you well fed for some good reason.

Here we go. Come on. Stand up, sonny.

You will take a little a walk.

Hey, Remy!

we got you a genuine bargain here!

I trade you this rascal for that settler.

- Is that you, Fair?

- Yeah, Remy. It's me, it's Fair.

Hey boy, you talk louder than that.

Go on, speak up.

Remy! It's me, Fair!

I'll be damned.

- Jake.

- Yeah?

Ready. Aim... Fire!

Cease fire.

Now, you damn settlers,

all you got to swap is that boat!

I was beginning to like that fellow.

Poe, tie it up.

Him... for the boat!

But take your time, think it over.

There ain't no hurry.

And in a little while...

I'm lower down the settler about 30 cm...

to explore the bottom of this river.

But like I said,

take your time, think it over.

All right, boys. We're gonna have one drink.

- The bar is open. Then we're pulling out.

- Yeah.

You two stay on guard.

- Come on, give me a hand.

- You're getting old?

I'm trying to give this fellow

some kind of decent burial.

After all the trouble get rid of them ants,

it would be shameful to be eaten by them.

Yeah, come on.

This wouldn't have happened if

we had burned the barge.

If you touch the barge, I'll shoot

you where it hurts the most.

She will.

Now, come on. Let's get back.

Come on. Come on.

I want you to get Roland.

If I could... But it is impossible.

If I give this barge to Remy, he'll

kill all of us. As well as Roland.

- You never knew Roland very well.

- No.

Not the rest either.

I respected you for that.

They hated it.

The way you put yourself above them, with that

woman of you and live the way you pleased.

Roland and I talked a lot about it.

He could not understand you.

- And you could?

- Yes.

Does that surprise you?

Yes.

It's because you never looked very close at me.

- Well now, that's where you're wrong.

- I know you looked at me like that.

But you didn't put a study on it.

I study those things that are

important to me, to keep me alive.

Give them the barge. I'll do

whatever you ask, if you do.

It seems to be my day for bargains.

Travis, listen to me.

As long as you've lived

you have never known a real woman...

You have known half woman, half man

like that excuse for a woman you're keeping.

But never a woman who was all woman.

You spent your life among the other kind...

to travel from one cabin to another, who

pretend for four, five minutes to be woman.

And then go back to the work of a man.

I'm something you've never had before.

Mrs. Hall...

Is your husband the only reason for this bargain?

- Because he isn't, you know?

- We are the same in our own way...

I'd give anything to spend a night with you.

Anything.

Except my barge!

Do you think he deserves that?

Well... it'll keep the ants of him. Maybe.

- There is a place up stream where we can swim.

- Are you crazy?

If we go there, that Remy will give us a baptize

just like he's done to that poor bastard.

- Are you scared?

- No, no. I don't think so.

But I don't think my Red brothers

understand me being a Christian...

- without a good reason.

- I got a good reason.

You?

- I just thought you'd like to keep me company.

- I will tell you something...

my visits with you are gonna get

scarcer and scarcer.

You plumb wear me out.

Hey...

Hey! You stinking settler!

Wake up!

Don't you die on me. Wake up!

If they don't make up their mind quick...

I'm gonna letting on this rope.

I sure hate to do that.

You understand me, don't you?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'll talk to you later.

Look at me. I'm a mess!

Marquette. Tomorrow we will be in Mexico.

- Come on, I'll buy you a drink.

- Thanks, but I'm busy.

If we had split up the stuff, you know

where they would be now, don't you?

- Last drink, folks!

- Drink up, son!

Get them guns, not ammo.

Let's get ready to go out.

Hey, Jake. He don't believe it.

Thurlo, you feel like walking?

Get him out of the tub. We're leaving.

- Now you believe?

- Come on. We just leave that whiskey.

That's a shame.

Hey. We got to get rid of those manure...

and those guards up at the dock.

I was hoping you might start a little stampede.

Fire Eyes, you are a devil.

She was awful pretty, you know? She got

into bed, I got into bed right behind her...

And you know what happened? She pulled

the light out and she told me to get out.

It's hard to believe, ain't it?

You better get on there now.

Encow, you better drop what you're doing

and come on out of there!

Phil, damn it. Come on!

- Hey Encow.

- Who's that? - It's me, Happy.

You ain't Encow.

I bet you ain't happy.

Stay here. Watch the hostage.

Sawyer!

Inform our leader we've lost our hostage.

Yeah.

Phil.

Wait for me.

- I've just got dry.

- You want to stay here with Remy?

No. It's good wet again.

Hey.

Jake.

Jake! Jake! Jake!

Jake.

- Jake. They got him! They cut him down.

The hostage... - Sh!

Listen.

They cut him down.

The hostage....

Yeah, I know.

How we get the boat now, Jake?

What do we do?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Get away. You're breathing my air.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Turn around!

I'm tired of all of you...

staring at my back when I'm speaking.

Jake.

Go on.

Leave me alone.

Jake.

Jake.

I shot the river.

I sure thought you'd let Dell throw in

with me. I see now that you ain't.

- You may never...

- You are leaving?

Well, you don't need me no more.

You and them settlers has got Remy...

He sure ain't gonna stick around.

Hey.

Why don't you and Nola

just make some tracks with me?

Three of us can awful get lost

in the wilderness, huh?

You go. We'll get you.

Sure.

Why we don't go with him?

No.

Not yet.

Mrs. Hall...

All your husband needs now is

just a little sleep.

To keep me warm.

Welcome styling?

Not a styling.

Separate the pieces of lumber.

We need eight rounded beams.

- Where do you want to put these?

- Right there.

- Remy is gonna be in for a big surprise.

- I hope they round up the rest of the horses...

- Just in case this plan of yours don't work.

- Don't work?

I have the solution to Remy problems.

Now get some more barrels and some rope.

Take off those heavy beams and

rip off their plankings.

What are you doing with those barrels?

Marquette want it. Mr Remy, you

and Rodrigez went out.

What are you building, Marquette?

Building two rafts.

- Two rafts, huh?

- Yes.

To cross the river.

We put half of the men on one barge,

half on the other and go across.

One raft on each side of the barquero's barge.

We will have concentrated firepower

which will blast us on the shore.

You see Jacob,

it is just as you said.

My brains, and your leadership.

We will be big men.

Yeah.
