for the information.

And then l wanna tell you

you're the worst double-crosser l ever met!

- First you double-cross me...

- You? l double-crossed you?

Me, with George. And now you're

double-crossing your boyfriend Frankie!

You're wrong about everything!

Not once since l've met you

have you been right about anything at all!

Yup. That's my boy Sam, all right.

Oh! You!

Well, here she is. l found her for you -

your nice, square, straight-out girl.

- ln business again, as usual.

- She's not my girl. l wish she was.

- She's yours!

- Oh, no, l'm not!

Listen. We were putting it on for you.

- No, we were not!

- Of course we were!

He won't believe you.

He'd rather believe me!

l wouldn't believe you on a stack of Bibles!

No matter what else he is, George is not a liar.

lf he says he's putting it on, he's...

Wait a minute! You are a liar,

- or why else are you here?

- l'm looking for a fella named Boggs!

- Ohhh!

- Take it easy, Sam.

Timber!

- Take it easy.

- Sam, l can't find Frankie,

but Boggs is here, locked up in a room.

- What room?

- l don't know.

Well, this is as good as any place to start.

Hey! What is this?

Take it easy.

Billy! ls he in here?

No.

Don't give up, kid. This is promising.

- Billy!

- Oh, l can take care of myself.

Gentlemen! What a pleasant surprise!

- That's him!

- You're just in time to have a drink.

- We want to have a little talk with you.

- Oh, that's good.

Cos it gets very lonely here, you know.

l got nobody to sing with.

Let's all sing together, all right?

Gold is found in every...

What we wanna find out is

why you've cross-filed on our claim.

Cross-filed? l did?

- Well, don't you remember?

- Now, think.

Didn't Frankie Canon ask you

to do something for him?

Frankie? No!

He's the nicest guy l ever met.

He gave me this whole room

and all this whiskey, for nothin'!

- All l did was put an X on a piece of paper.

- You signed something? What did it say?

l don't know. lf l could read,

l wouldn't have to sign with an X, right?

And Mr Canon told me l would never

have to push another broom again

as long as l live.

That's enough talkin'. Let's drink

and sing. Are you ready?

Gold is found in every ditch...

Come on. The commissioner

wants to hear ya.

- Does he like singin' too?

- He's crazy about it.

Gold is found in every ditch

You tote and haul and lug...

Wait here. l'll get Boggs, and

you get him out of town as fast as you can.

Hiya, Mr Canon!

- We found your friend.

- l'm gonna sing for the commissioner.

- Come on with us.

- Maybe you'd better come and listen.

- l'm not interested.

- You're gonna get interested.

Get out of the way!

Look out! Behind you, Sam!

- You...!

- What the...?

Duck!

Sam, look out!

The Good Book says

that man must love his fellow man.

Music! Music!

No, l don't understand. Come on, tell me.

Tell her, you big lug!

Because l love you, that's why!

Oh, Sam!

Hey, ma'am? Haven't you

got a ticket to sail with us?

You use it!

l practically stole it!

A solid diamond ring!

Oh, George. This is the most

beautiful present l ever had!

Gee, l wish l had a present to give you.

Here's one from me.

- Beer on the house! Come on!

- And champagne!
