Now you don't like what you made.

Know what I think?

He'd have been all right

if not for that girl.

Come on, play.

Well, he learned how to handle cows...

...maybe he'll learn

how to handle women.

Ain't my business...

...but that crazy Harris

is prying cattle off the floor.

- What did you leave him there for?

- I ain't the ramrod here, he is.

- Where are you going?

- I'm tired of burying people.

I suppose this is one of mine, huh?

It all depends on if we can save it.

Come on, let's go!

Miserable slab-sided fleabags!

Listen...

...about those cattle we lost.

Maybe I made a mistake.

- Yeah?

- I don't think they were all yours.

I'd say about fifty-fifty.

That sounds like a fair split.

Come on, let's go.

- Good to see you again.

- Good to be here.

- Meet my partner, Frank Harris.

- Hello, Fowler, how are you?

Take care of him. He used to be

in the hotel business.

- I have your rooms all ready.

- Fine.

How long will you stay?

One week, maybe.

Two weeks, if it's all right...

- Make it three.

- Ring for anything you want.

- Plenty of hot water and whiskey.

- Make that double.

Pour it in, son.

- Tom.

- Frank.
