North West Mounted Police Page #9

Synopsis: Texas Ranger Dusty Rivers ("Isn't that a contradiction in terms?", another character asks him) travels to Canada in the 1880s in search of Jacques Corbeau, who is wanted for murder. He wanders into the midst of the Riel Rebellion, in which Métis (people of French and Native heritage) and Natives want a separate nation. Dusty falls for nurse April Logan, who is also loved by Mountie Jim Brett. April's brother is involved with Courbeau's daughter Louvette, which leads to trouble during the battles between the rebels and the Mounties. Through it all Dusty is determined to bring Corbeau back to Texas (and April, too, if he can manage it.)

And no telegraph.
ls that so?
l'll check when l get back.
lf anyone's missing
l'll have every man in the troop
after them.
l can't say l blame you.
Jim, Dusty seems a little restless.
Maybe he's thinking about a man
who moved in on a friend
that trusted him.
Sneaked in behind his back like
a weasel in a hen coop
and stole the one thing
his friend valued most.
No, l wasn't thinking
about that.
Wouldn't you say
he'd loathe his friend
for doing such a low
contemptible thing to him?
He'd certainly owe him
an apology.
Well? l apologize.
You apologize?
Jim's trying to tell you that
he's taking something
he thought belonged to you.
You?
lf l'm free.
She told me once, l'd be alright
if something beat me to my knees.
l've been brought down hard.
No, l'm the one who surrendered.
But l wouldn't change him.
l guess l've just been having
a beautiful pipe dream
in the middle of a nightmare.
Sure.
Sure, you're free.
You got what we both want,
l got what l came for.
l'll say the Mounted Police
are the greatest outfit
l ever tangled with
and the luckiest.
Texas Rangers are two fisted
fighters themselves.
And one of them is the most
magnificent liar in the world.
Goodbye, Dusty.
Texas is gonna miss you.
There'll always be a part
of Texas in our hearts.
Come on, sweetheart.
Come on, sweetheart.
