Goin' to Town Page #2

after due deliberation,

the court has decided

that all the holdings

and properties...

of the deceased,

Buck Gonzales,

belong to you.

You've acted in good faith,

and you've done your best

to fulfll your bargain.

judge, wherever

there's a man concerned,

I always do my best.

Now, as one of the richest

women in our state,

let me advise you

to look out for crooks.

You let the crooks

look out for themselves.

Well, what's next

on the program?

Well, the next is for you

to check over these.

You check them over.

Oh, I can't do that.

You see, this is

my fnal accounting

for the Gonzales estate;

and if it's satisfactory,

then my work is through.

What do you mean "through"?

Well, I've fnished my job.

Can you imagine

this guy, judge?

After he gets me

into the big money,

he wants to walk out on me.

It's time for me

to get back east.

I'm going to pay you

a salary that'll be...

positively indecent

for you to turn down.

Very kind of you.

What do you say?

All right, I suppose

I'll have to stay...

and look after the cattle

and the men for you.

just the cattle.

I'll take care of the men.

We've covered quite

a few miles, Miss Cleo.

Oh, I'm used to that.

Only on the dance fioor,

it was my feet that hurt.

I guess you've seen

about all the ranch now,

except the oil feld.

Oh, I was over

there yesterday.

Yeah? Everything suit ya?

Mmm. Especially

that good-looking boss.

You mean Carrington,

the Englishman.

Is that what he is?

Kind of thought that

body looked imported.

You give him

good ride today.

Yesterday, no good.

Ug.

Nice animal.

That's Cactus, the fastest

horse in the west. Buck was

going to race him this winter.

just a little gun shy,

Miss Cleo.

Ride him with a frecracker,

and he'd beat Man O' War.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, didn't I tell you fellas

not to shoot guns...

in front of that horse?

It'd be all right

if they wouldn't scare him.

After he knows you better,

he'll follow you around

like a dog.

Well, I hope he don't

take a notion and

jump up in my lap.

Sorry not to bring

Mr. Carrington back with me.

He couldn't come.

You mean he refused?

Well, uh, no,

not exactly that.

He objected to coming

while he was working

on the oil wells.

Oh, well,

I'll remove those.

The oil wells?

No, the objections.

I want you to pay

particular attention to this.

You know, I'm leaving

in a few days, and you'll

have to carry on without me.

Where is the company

sending you now,

to Siberia?

No, just Buenos Aires.

If these gushers come in

the way we hope,

Gonzales's heiress will be

one of the richest women

in the world.

I don't suppose she'd know

what to do with it.

Do you know her?

Seen her, heard her.

Impressed?

I'm afraid she's

rather crude oil.

(Metal Clanging)

Get a good

chisel edge on it.

Get it right out to gauge.

Hey, handsome!

The lady's calling you.

Yes, I heard her.

She wants to talk to you.

Sorry, I'm too busy.

He's too busy.

Oh, he wants to be coaxed.

Uh, uh, no...

I know what I'm doing.

(Gunshot)

Look here. What do you

mean by shooting at me?

I don't happen to be

a target, you know, not even

for somebody like you.

Ooh, what do you

know about me?

just what I see,

and that's quite suffcient.

Well, you're easily satisfed.

Well, what do

you want with me?

Nothing yet.

You possess

an extraordinary

sense of humor.

Yes, and that ain't all.

Well, I'm afraid you'll

have to excuse me.

I'm rather busy for this

sort of chitchat.

Oh, English, huh?

Yes. Do you mind?

(English Accent)

No, I rather like it.

Give me room, boys.

Put that ten-inch bit

into the furnace.

(Laughing)

Chitchat.

(Laughing)

You know, I like that guy.

You can hardly hope to win

a man, treating him that way.

Oh, yeah?

Say, listen. As long as

he's drilling holes

in my property,

I want to know

what it's all about.

And you see that he gets

over to my place tonight

and brings his blueprints.

All right, Miss Cleo.

I'll check up

on that guy.

(Big Band Music On Phonograph)

Hello, boys.

Good evening.

What about them

2,000 head of cattle

for Chicago?

All right, let 'em go.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, you look

very charming.

As good as

an oil well?

Oil well?

There's a guy dropping in

that ain't got anything else

on his mind.

Oh, Carrington.

He's coming to make a report.

After he leaves, I might

be able to give you one.

My dear, I'm afraid you

don't quite understand

about Carrington.

He's a man, ain't he?

Well, yes.

Well, that's all

I got to know.

What I mean to say is he's

the type of person who would

only be deeply interested...

in someone in his own

social stratum.

Stratum? What's that?

Something I ain't got?

If you'll forgive my saying so,

there's a certain amount

of, well, background...

that you haven't had

the opportunity of acquiring.

Oh, you mean I ain't

exactly a lady.

Mm-hmm.

Never mind. Our little

bet still goes.

All right, but I'm afraid

you're going to lose.

Say, I'll make him forget

he ever saw a stratum.

Good evening.

Well, we'll agree

on that anyway. Come in.

I brought everything

you asked for.

So I see.

Well, uh, shall we

get down to business?

Yeah, sit down.

Thank you.

Cigarette?

No, thanks.

Drink?

No, thank you.

What? No vices?

I'm afraid we aren't

getting anywhere.

Mmm, did you

notice that too?

Go ahead, go ahead.

Now, this map represents

your entire property.

This curved portion is

the main body, and this is

the undeveloped territory.

We'll have to do

something about that.

Uh, these shaded areas

are those indicated...

in the geological survey

as being oil bearing.

You amaze me.

Quite interesting.

Quite interesting.

These circles mark

the location of the wells

drilled to date.

As you can see,

we've covered the entire

feld very thoroughly.

Isn't it possible there's

something you've overlooked?

Positively not.

Everything that looked

in the least encouraging

have been taken care of,

and I can assure you

that all this property you

are getting the most out of.

How can you be so sure?

Look for yourself.

Why, you'd be surprised

at the things that

don't show up on a map.

Not if you know

how to read them.

Everything on this property

that's at all worthwhile

is right here on this paper.

Well, that's encouraging.

So you do understand?

Yeah.

Come on. Why don't

you release those brakes?

Brakes? I don't know

what you mean.

No? Well, you know

I was Buck Gonzales's chase,

don't you? You heard of him.

Yes, I knew the bandit.

Bandit?

Oh, you're one of those guys

with principles, eh?

Kind of different, ain't you?

Look here.

You can't expect me

to be very sociable...

after the crude way

you treated me today.

Oh, I'll admit

I was a little crude,

but you like me.

I admire

your conceit.

I know.

You been used to dames

that serve pink tea...

and stick out

their little fngers

when they drink it,

but I like you anyway.

You know, this is the frst
