Ah! Let her go, Dandy.

Let's do this like men.

Ah!

I hear therets a game in Yuma.

That means get out of here.

Thanks, Doc, but I could

have handled it myself.

It's better if nobody gets hurt.

I'll get you for this,

Johnny Boy.

You didn't hear Doc?

What's going on, Doc?

Oh, he's the good guy;

those are the bad guys.

Right.

Haul your freight. You still here

in this town in 10 minutes,

I'm gonna shoot you down

like the coyotes you are.

Don't even think about it.

Move. Move!

Nice going, Doc.

Boy, therets been enough shooting.

Go on home.

Whoa!

Hello. Who are you?

I didn't know there were

any lndians in Holysand.

She ain't no lndian.

Cantt you see that?

Shets a... foreigner.

I-- l'm sorry.

I want to pass.

No no no no no no.

You come with us,

little sweet pea.

Whatts your name, girl?

Are you Princess Sweetfield?

Princess Gold

- Excuse me, miss.

Is there a problem here?

No no no no no,

there's no problem here,

and you don't need

to get involved.

Why don't you just step back

for a second here?

Now I don't take

too kindly to rude folk.

Oh, you don't?

Where you boys from, anyway?

Ah! Oh!

Ow.

The street is clear.

That hurt.

Ma'am?

All right, boys.

What is that?

Since youtve been here,

strange things have started to happen.

You think so? Maybe we should

clear up a thing or two.

Maybe we should.

But have you seen Silver lately?

In the saloon,

but he won't talk to me.

Maybe it's best

to clear things with him first.

Country girl can

wait a little longer.

All right, country girl.

It's difficult to be a woman

alone in the West, Roy.

So when he got shot,

I found myself without anyone--

no money or a man

to protect me.

I felt lost,

and I just followed

my survival instinct.

I'm not asking you

to forgive me,

just try at least

to understand me.

Where'd you go after you left?

I tried to put in use

everything I learned from you.

So Pearl McGovern,

the playerts companion,

became Debra "Tricky" Downing,

the poker player.

If you win the tournament,

could Pearl McGovern

ever exist again?

I don't know, Roy.

It would be nice. I miss her too.

But I don't know.

Ready?

You foolin' with me?

- l'm testing you.

That's what you want, isn't it?

They're too small.

It's impossible to hit 'em from here.

You're good, Silver. Try it.

All right.

I'm ready.

You're not good enough. I'm sorry.

Too small.

No one could hit those.

You did it on purpose.

Silver,

how much smaller is a bullet

compared to a bottle?

About this much.

Oh.

You know how much this is?

It's the difference

between life and death,

between being and not being.

I just wanted to prove

to you that ltm good.

You don't have to

prove anything to me.

- I know youtre good.

- Really?

Yes. You don't find

many kids like you.

But you've got to

be careful with guns.

Even though you're good,

you'll always find someone

who's better than you.

- 'Morning, Jack.

- Howdy.

One?

- Yup.

All right.

- Hi, sir.

- Howdy.

I want to express my gratitude

for protect my daughter

from dishonorable men.

Shucks, just my duty.

I'd be happily humble

for you be guest

at my humble house for--

for humble dinner.

Well, heck, l'm real humble.

I uh...

I'd be honored.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Ask her when when!

When can I come?

Hey, Millie around?

I don't think you want to be seen

around these parts, boy.

Why don't you go and ask her?

- He ain't talking about Miss Millie.

- Stay away, boy.

Git.

Now.

$32,000.

With that sort of money,

we could ride away

someplace together, buy a ranch.

You don't have to

win the tournament.

We can do that anyway.

Just the difference is

the size of the ranch.

We're not kids anymore, Roy.

I can't start all over

from scratch again.

But don't worry.

With everything

I learned from you,

I can win this tournament.

I'm a different man

from the man I was.

And I can't allow no cheating

in this tournament

and l've got to tell you that.

What did you think I meant?

I was referring to what

you taught me about poker,

not your tricks for cheating.

Okay, hold on a second now.

This is the eight-player

elimination round.

- Give 'em hell, Doc.

- Come on, Doc.

Full house.

You're #1.

Well, I think youtre talking

to the wrong person.

I don't like poker

and ltm against this tournament,

Mr....?

lwin.

Irwin Van Brooklyn

at your service, matam.

Well, ltm sorry,

Mr. Van Brooklyn,

but l'm obliged to decline your

invitation to attend your next game.

I guess your dog

doesn't like poker players.

Not all of them.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to bother you,

but I really thought

you liked poker

because you were

talking to Doc West,

and he is a professional--

not on my level.

Oh, here's our friend now,

so I will leave you in Doc's care.

Obviously you find him

more interesting than me.

That is a beautiful jewel...

for a beautiful lady.

That's a rare delight

in this desolate land.

What did the Dutchman say to you?

Why are you asking me

in that tone?

Well, what did he want from you?

Well, you wouldn't be jealous,

would you?

Jealous? Me?

Why? Of what?

I don't know. You tell me.

I know. I know.

He spoke to you

just to provoke me.

There's no other reason, l'm sure.

Damn. You certainly know

how to flatter a woman, Doc West.

- What did I say?

- Of course he didn't speak to me

because ltm an interesting woman,

but only to provoke you.

You don't understand.

No, you don't understand.

And if you think

I could be interested in a man like that,

you offend me.

But a woman does appreciate

a compliment once in a while.

- Denise, wait.

- Stay away from me, Doc West,

so no one will bother me

since they only do it

to provoke you.

Shets certainly got a temper.

You like our house?

Oh yeah.

Um, nice train you got there.

No train. That dragon--

symbol of fertility

and happiness.

Huh.

I didn't realize that a dragon--

I guess I never really

seen a dragon before.

But you right a bit.

That not train,

but we come here to work

for the new railway.

Right. When the railroad comes,

there's gonna be a lot of work

and a lot of folks coming to town.

- Railway join worlds.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Smells good.

Mmm!

Hope you don't mind if

I don't talk when I eat.

Nice. Good.

- Very good.

Mmm.

Aren't y'all gonna eat?

Sorry.

- Guess that was for everybody.

Yes.

I have some potatoes out

on the wagon.

We could cook them up.

Good night, then.

Giddy up. Hyah!

Too fast. Again.

Queen of hearts,

jack of spades,

nine of clubs,

ace of spades,

eight of diamonds.

- Good job, Johnny.

- Hi, Johnny, Elizabeth.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Doc West.

Whiskey at this time of day?

Whiskey?

It's tea.

When you admire somebody,

you have to follow them

step by step.

- Here's your tea, Doc.

- Thank you.

To tomorrow's game, Doc.

When we sit at the table,

I'll believe in the moment

l've been dreaming of

since I first held a pack of cards.
