If I was thirsty.

Maybe he could use

a little company.

He looks lonely.

I'm a friend of Frank Hugo.

I told Mr. Locke

about your message.

He's going to talk

on the phone

with Frank in an hour.

We thought you might

care to expand it.

No, I don't.

Anything you have

to say to Hugo

you can say to me, Mr. Gagin.

Please, join us. You can

hold your drink in your hand

if you're not thirsty.

No, thanks.

If your business is important

I could tell it to Frank

and expedite matters, perhaps.

No, I don't think so.

I'm afraid Mr. Gagin

can't be seduced.

See you again, Gagin.

Did you find anything?

No, senor, I've been

to all the hotels

they don't have nothing.

No room single, double,

nothing empty in

San Pablo tonight.

Okay, here.

Maybe you try Tres Violetas.

You find something there.

What's that, a hotel?

No, saloon.

Or maybe some

Indian or Mexican

have room in his house.

Pretty crowded, but

give them a few bucks

maybe they move.

What is this...

Tres Violetas, seor.
