00:00Just a minute, Ben.

00:01Yes?

00:02About seeing more of us.

00:04Don't go out of your way.

00:05The town's pretty crowded.

00:07Well, you don't seem very hospitable, Mr. Marr.

00:11I didn't intend to.

00:12And you might pass the word along to your company

00:14when you get back.

00:17Well, I came here to get my mail, Mr. Marr, not to argue.

00:20As long as you've brought up the subject,

00:21I'd like to answer you.

00:23Nobody asked you to.

00:24Well, nevertheless, it might prevent trouble,

00:26and the railroad doesn't want to have any trouble with you

00:28or any other freight hauling outfit.

00:29Will the railway come this far, Mr. Benton?

00:31Well, we hope to go through as far as Santa Fe.

00:34Then we'll meet up with the Pacific short line.

00:36Then we'll have a market west as well as east.

00:38Why don't you tell them the rest of it?

00:41Who'll pay for the engines, the cars, the rail?

00:44The people will.

00:46And a land which will be condemned and taken from you.

00:49And taxes which will keep you and your children poor.

00:52And in sheep and cattle, these trains

00:54will kill on your unfenced land.

00:55It's 50 years too soon for a railroad

00:57through this territory.

01:00Neither railroad's an octopus.

01:02And men like Bent who build it are parasites that'll

01:04live off your blood and sweat.

01:06What do you think we ought to do, Mr. Marr?

01:09Stop them now while you've got the chance.

01:11Don't let them cross the Kansas line.

01:15Now, what do you say to that, Mr. Benton?

01:18Just that I'm surprised that an intelligent man

01:20should make such a statement.

01:22Since Mr. Marr is in the freighting business,

01:24naturally his opinion of his competitors

01:27is bound to be biased.

01:29Sure, you'll have to give up some of your land

01:31for the railroad right away.

01:32And your taxes will be higher.

01:34But that's because the value of your property

01:36will be multiplied a dozen times.

01:39If our trains destroy your stock,

01:41we'll gladly pay damages.

01:42But, and this is the important thing,

01:46our stock cars will take your sheep and cattle fat

01:48and primed to the market.

01:50And what's more, I promise the railroad

01:53will pay back to you in profits twice what it takes away.

01:56I think he's right, Lanny.

01:58Me, me?

01:59You fool.

02:01I'm sorry you feel that way about it, Mr. Marr.

02:05Get out.

02:06Sometimes we're running 25 miles an hour.

02:08Turn loose any one of my wagons

02:09and they'll go faster than that, downhill.

02:12But we were running on the level.

02:14It's dangerous and unnecessary to travel that fast.

02:17Why is everybody in such a hurry nowadays?

02:20They say in St. Louis that someday

02:21trains will go from New York to San Francisco

02:23in less than two weeks.

02:26Who filled you with this interest in trains?

02:28Well, it's just that I've been traveling on them.

02:31Is that what you and Gideon have been quarreling about?

02:35Well, in a way.

02:39Vinnie, I'm an old man.

02:41Nonsense.

02:41You're still the strongest, handsomest...

02:43And there's only one thing left in the world I care about.

02:47You.

02:48And what I've built up for you here on the territory.

02:51Someday it'll all be yours.

02:55Unless they take it away.

02:57That'd be a pretty big job, wouldn't it?

03:00Stephen Bent's going to try.
