And make sure the Rebs
don't get prosperous.
Yes, but in a legal way.
Nothing was said
about using violence.
Now, Lisa...
All we're going to do
is scare 'em a little...
them and your friend.
What about him?
The Rebs might make
a fight of it
if he's along.
Wouldn't do...
not when they're
on their last legs.
Best thing is to convince
him not to go.
It's going to be interesting
to see how he acts
when the chips are down.
Heard tell he was
a regular fire-eater.
What are you going to do?
Depends on what he does.
How come you're so worried?
Couldn't be you're soft on him,
could it?
No, I'm not soft on him.
Well, that's good, because
I wouldn't like to think
of your grieving over him...
case he gets hurt.
Evening, Sheriff.
Seems like you enjoyed the show.
Oh, that I did.
And I enjoyed your
act, too, Mr. Carter.
You know everybody's
talking about
how wonderful you are.
Thank you, Sheriff.
You know, I heard something
about you today, too,
but, of course,
I didn't believe it.
Huh?
What did you hear?
Well, I heard that you had
absolutely no say
in appointing
those deputies of yours,
that Travis and the others
just walked into your office
and pinned the stars
on themselves.
Wasn't that way at all.
I got well paid
for takin' em on.
Well, I guess
certain people
got a lot of money to spend.
Yes, they have.
Guess they got a right
to spend it any way they...
Say... why are you
so interested?
Oh, just idle conversation.
Yeah?
Hello, Lisa.
Want to play?
No cheating?
All right.
Ma'am, you're as lustrous
as Cinderella tonight,
but unlike her, you appear
at the stroke of 12:00.
I hope I don't disappoint you.
On the contrary.
You're mighty glib with those
pretty speeches of yours.
Where'd you get 'em?
Oh, make 'em up.
That's interesting,
because I've kinda taken
a dislike to 'em.
Many people have.
And to you, too.
That's not impossible.
Don't provoke easy, do you?
No.
Maybe this'll do it.
Can I borrow your
handkerchief, Sheriff?
Thank you.
Now, if you people
will excuse me,
I have several things
to take care of.
Good night.
I gave him his chance.
What are you going to do
with somebody like that?
I think I know.
You think this'll hold him?
Yes... with a little help
from me.
I don't like
this idea of yours,
but I guess it'll do.
The ore train
starts at midnight.
We'll have to leave
by 3:
00 at the latestif we're gonna head 'em off.
How'll I know if he's here?
I'll signal from the window.
At 3:
00.At 3:
00.Don't forget... this is business,
not pleasure.
I won't forget.
Ten past 12:
00.We'd better be startin'.
But Carter ain't here yet.
Likely he's plannin'
to join us along the way.
Give 'em the word, Zack.
Let's get in the wagons.
Hey, Bill, do me a favor,
will you?
What is it?
Take this critter to Mesa City
and find somebody to have him
for five dollars.
Who'll pay five dollars
for that?
Who said "pay"?
The five's for takin' him!
That's a lot of money.
Not alongside of the baccy
I'd save!
All right, I'll take him.
Head on!
More of that champagne stuff.
They must be washing in it!
Nothing wrong with that.
Come in.
Well, look who's back,
my friend, the champagne man!
Put it right down here.
And accept this
with my compliments.
Thank you.
You want any more, Lisa?
This will be enough,
thank you.
There is never enough!
As the poet Horace said,
"From Sabine jars
bring forth the sparkling wine."
But we have no Sabine jars.
No matter, no matter at all.
Ma'am, it's very interesting,
the things you told me
about New Orleans.
I guess it must have been
pretty bad there after the war.
It was.
I bet you could've married
a rich carpetbagger.
become a seamstress.
But I preferred coming west.
I really wanted to go
to San Francisco.
Oh, why?
I was told about a building
there that could have been made
into a theater for plays,
or even opera,
but that required $20,000.
Well, I'd hardly think
Coppertown would be the place
to get that kind of money.
You know, I've been telling
you my life history,
and you haven't said
a thing about yourself.
Oh, it's a very
dull subject, ma'am.
The history of
a trick-shot artist?
It's filled with such things
as gunpowder, bullets,
trajectory, recoil.
I'm sure we can think
of something livelier.
For instance?
Well, I could tell you,
and in great sincerity,
that you're one of the two most
beautiful women I've ever met.
Who is the other?
Ah-ah, that's not
a sporting question.
Why not?
Well, one of these times
I'm going to meet
another beautiful woman
and I'm going to say to her,
"I think that you're one of
the three most beautiful women
I've ever met."
And she'll say to me,
"Who were the other two?"
And how would you like it
if I said,
"Oh, Miss What's-Her-Name
and an angel out of heaven
named Lisa Roselle."
There's nothing wrong
in saying that.
Ah, well, it isn't what I say,
it's the way I say it.
Am I still being dull?
Mmm... amateurish, I'd say.
Mmm.
Still amateurish?
Well...
Three o'clock.
Oh, yes... 3:
00.Where are you going?
My... my maid is
in the other room.
Well, send her away.
Yes.
I'll have another
little pick-me-up.
I think it would be nice...
Johnny!
Johnny, come back!
They'll kill you!
Should we open up on them now?
No, I want them further along.
Cuttin' them in half is
the only way we can beat them.
Too many of them otherwise.
Whoa!
Looks like we run into
an ambush ourselves.
No use tryin' for
that ore train now.
Let's get that fellow
on the ridge.
Wonder what happened.
Somebody got behind them
and drew them off.
I think we better get movin'.
His horse is tiring.
We'll follow him
down the canyon.
So he was smart enough
to stake out another horse.
But I got a good idea who he is.
Let's get back to town.
Why, hello, Mrs. Desmond,
Lieutenant Ord.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Nice day for shopping,
isn't it?
Yes, isn't it?
Why, he didn't go.
That's very strange.
I heard the rumors, too.
Heard he was leading the ore
train as Colonel Desmond.
Well, he doesn't act
like Colonel Desmond.
Hello.
This is an unexpected
pleasure, ma'am.
Hardly expected you
to be up before noon.
Where have you been?
Oh, out strolling.
It's nice out.
I mean last night,
after you left me.
Why, in bed, ma'am.
Where else?
I told you champagne
makes me sleepy.
You're lying.
I was in here.
I was in here a dozen times!
Oh.
Too bad I missed you.
Should have told you,
though...
I walk in my sleep.
You met up with that
ore train, didn't you?
Didn't you?
Ah-ah, temper, temper.
You don't want to get lines
under those beautiful eyes.
You fool!
Save that grin
for the undertaker!
Oh, Johnny!
Johnny, it's no good
for you here,
no good at all.
The hours I've been waiting,
knowing where you've gone!
They're too much
for you, too many.
You saw what
they did to Bassett...
