Barquero Page #5

You know all the time something

like this would happen.

You just don't give a damn, do you?

You have hated the Dell from the beginning.

When I built that barge I did

figure on anyone settling around me.

I saw the river for years. I watched men go around it,

as some fence with a sign 'No tress passing' on it.

I don't like fences, any kind.

So I tore that fence down.

Back in the East I read books about

men who were taming the wilderness.

I dreamed about those men.

They weren't like you.

They weren't like you. They were

statues people could look up to.

The only resemblance you bear

to a statue is pigeon droppings.

- They may be help for you yet.

- No, Travis.

You're the one there is no hope for.

After you are dead, me and my kind will

still be here, and everything will be ours.

You're like those prehistoric beasts

that have become extinct.

They will write nice stories about your kind.

You will be a hero and all that...

But most of all, you will be dead.

It was since I've been here,

I ain't been getting nothing.

But I got the deck now...

And I am doing the dealing.

And I'm gonna win this game.

Because I got me a Marquette on my sleeve.

Now!

- Cut the rope!

- But then the barge shall be no good to us.

I said cut, damn it!

Driver, get that son of a b*tch!

Mr. Remy. Mr. Remy...

Mister...

You and your brains!

Hi.

- Hi.

- What's your name?

- Driver.

- Nice name.

Mine is Phil.

I'm glad I came back,

or I wouldn't have met you, friend.

Friend... well, then...

You're fighting for Remy,

and me am fighting for the settlers.

That don't hardly make us friends, do it?

Even your eyes ain't friends...

Yeah well... I reckon we've

done talking long enough, huh?

One will do it without saying.

Barquero!

We should have met another time.

Yeah.

When you didn't want my barge.

Oh yeah, that barge...

Well I can see it's yours.

You might have had a free cut,

if not for that barge.

How about running to you down in Mexico,

we'd have killed a bottle of tequila together?

- We'd have killed something, for sure.

- Yeah!
