00:55Well, what'll it be?
00:57Whiskey or beans?
00:58I got a dollar left.
01:00Whiskey.
01:01Don't you ever eat.
01:03You take care of eating, I'll take care of drinking.
01:07Wait a minute.
01:08I believe I hear money, Gene.
01:11Colonel Bourbon is in town.
01:13Here, boy.
01:14Give me one.
01:17Colonel Bourbon's Cavie.
01:19Finest saddle and harness stock.
01:21Thousands of satisfied customers from old Kentucky to California.
01:25In North Fork, one day only, Saturday.
01:29I knew he'd be here.
01:32Jonah, better get your hog sticker all sharpened up.
01:35Business or pleasure?
01:37Both.
01:39Old Colonel Cornpone owes me a horse.
01:43I ain't cutting up any man just because he slickered you in a horse trade.
01:46Jonah, there's a bigger reward out for that steel-dusty stud than there is out for you.
01:53I've never carved a Kentucky curtain before.
01:58Just like Virginia Hamm.
02:17Well, Mark, you about finished?
02:18Just about.
02:20Oh, no.
02:20Look at this.
02:21Look at this dirt.
02:22Oh, I'm sorry.
02:23Clean it up.
02:24It could cause a saddle sore.
02:27Lucas!
02:27Come on.
02:28Lucas!
02:29Well, he's got company.
02:32Hey, anybody home?
02:34Hey, Kansas.
02:35Can you get out and stop a minute?
02:37Oh, no.
02:37We're late enough already.
02:38The horse trader's in town.
02:40I thought I ought to stop by and let you know.
02:42Oh, which horse trader?
02:43Luke, it don't make no difference which one.
02:46I dearly love to out-swap any horse trader any time and any way.
02:50The way you out-swapped the last trader and got that broke-down old mule.
02:55There ain't nothing wrong with that mule, Callie.
02:58You ask Lucas what kind of a horse trader I am.
03:01How about last year when I picked out that pretty bait cold after he'd done going to pass it by?
03:06How about that, Lucas?
03:07Well, you put me to quiet shame that time, Kansas.
03:10But I'll make it up.
03:11Not in horse trading, you.
03:13It's a business I know.
03:14Well, I got to admit, Kansas, that some people have an instinct for knowing that kind of a feeling.
03:20Oh, boy, you know more about horses than I do.
03:24Marky, just knowing about horses ain't enough.
03:27You got to know the ins and outs of swapping and the feller you're dealing with.
03:32Did I ever tell you about the time that...
03:34No, no, Kansas, we best get started.
03:35You yarn the day away talking horses.
03:38Thunder and lightning, you're right, Callie.
03:40I wouldn't miss this for money, marbles, or chalk.
03:43Oh, good luck with your trading.
03:45So long.
03:46Come on.
03:46Come on, Molly.
03:51Paul?
03:52Huh?
03:53Why isn't it enough to just know a good horse when you see it?
03:56Well, there's more to it than that, Mark.
03:58First thing to know when you're trading with a real horse trader is to figure you're going to get skinned.
04:04Well, aren't you supposed to know the stock, too?
04:06Well, that's half of it.
04:07The other half is knowing the man.
04:08Well, you weigh everything he says, and then try to think of all the things he hasn't said.
04:14I'd rather raise my own than go through all that.
04:17Well, that's probably the best way.
04:19Say, look, Mark, would you like to go into town and see how a real horse trader does business?
04:23Sure.
04:24Well, let's go.
04:34Good morning, sir.
04:35Needing a couple of horses?
04:38No, no.
04:41I'm just interested in one steel dust stallion.
04:45Well, I've got that chewy sorrel over there.
04:48Gentle as a possum in a taterpatch.
04:50Yet strong enough to carry you all day without turning a hair.
04:54Not for me.
04:55This steel dust has a white star on his forehead.
04:59$500 reward.
05:01A steel dust stallion lost straight or stolen from Green Valley Ranch.
05:05White star reward.
05:06If I had an animal remotely resembling that description, I'd see that he got home safely.
05:10Few horses are valued so highly.
05:13He's the herd sire from the Green Valley Horse Ranch.
05:16Imported him from back east, and he up and disappeared.
05:19So, uh, keep your eyes open.
05:21You might run into him in this business.
05:23Just might as that, Marshal.
05:24Thank you kindly.
05:34We still hang horse thieves in this country, Colonel.
05:37And I always stand forthrightly on the side of justice, Marshal.
05:59Now, how do you do, folks?
06:01Could I interest you in some reliable harness stock?
06:05No, we just thought we'd drop by and look at your show.
06:09Well, come right on in.
06:10Make yourselves at home.
06:12Take plenty of time, look around.
06:14I'll be here all day.
06:15You know, a man doesn't meet the public day in, day out for 30 years without learning how to treat
06:20decent people decently.
06:21That's right.
06:23Honesty is the best policy.
06:25Yes, sir.
06:25A man must have his honor.
06:27I come from Kentucky, sir.
06:29Fine.
06:31Yes, ma'am.
06:31I come from Kentucky.
06:32That dark and bloody ground redeemed by Daniel Boone.
06:35Got any good riding horses?
06:38Well, it takes a little lady to get right down to the heart of the matter.
06:41As a matter of fact, madam, there's a great scarcity of riding stock in this area.
06:46Well, we was just a-looking.
06:47Come on, Callie.
06:48Oh, just a minute.
06:50I did find a perfect jewel the other day.
06:53To my mind, the only quality riding horse in the entire cabbie.
06:56See if you can pick him out, sir.
06:59If he's here, I'll find him.
07:07You know, I paid more than I'd like to admit for that animal, but that's the way of the life
07:10of it.
07:10Just a simple, honest horse.
07:13Don't worry, madam.
07:14I'll see that you'll properly take care of.
07:16It's Sorrell here.
07:19Not at him.
07:22You have a keen eye for horses, sir.
07:27He ain't too bad.
07:32You, uh, got a price on this poor beast?
07:37This is the choice of my cabbie, sir.
07:39He gave a man many years of faithful service.
07:42Looks kind of narrow in the chest.
07:45Probably couldn't hold up after a full day is going.
07:48Turn him loose, sir.
07:49I couldn't sell him with just anybody.
07:55How much?
07:57He's a bargain of 75.
07:5975?
08:03Ain't no horse worth more than 50.
08:06Got an easy gate.
08:08You ride him all day and you think you were snoozing on the front porch.
08:11I might go as high as 55.
08:13I can see you mean well, friend, but, uh, 65 as low as I could go and still break even.
08:20Mister, do you realize how long it takes me to get together 65 dollars?
08:26I got some less expensive stock in there.
08:3860 dollars.
08:39Take it or leave it.
08:42I couldn't sell that animal for 60 dollars or still guarantee you.
08:46Although, to the best of my knowledge, he's sound and gentle.
08:49I know he is.
08:51You are a sharp trader, sir.
08:54All right.
08:55You've got a deal.
08:56You bought yourself a horse.
08:57A fine horse.
08:58I'll get my saddle.
09:00Come on, Callie.
09:04Sure put it over on him.
09:05Come on, Callie.
09:10Now sit here, pretty boy.
09:13You come back real soon, you hear me?
09:16I'll see that you get a lump of sugar for your trouble.
09:18Yes, sir.
09:43I swear you are the most popular equine gentleman I ever knew, Steel Dusty.
09:47And I've known a multitude.
09:49Yes, sir.
09:51Yes, sir.
09:52You got yourself a fine animal, Al.
09:53Seems mannered.
09:55The disposition of a kitten sleeping in a creole.
09:58Unless you want some action.
09:59Anytime you change your mind about him, just let me know.
10:01I'm going to change my mind, Colonel.
10:03He's my horse.
10:05Are you sure he's all right, Kansas?
10:08Are you doubting me, Callie?
10:10No, Kansas.
10:11Just hoping for the best.
10:27Well, Kansas, I see it didn't take you long.
10:29You might as well turn around and go on back home.
10:32There ain't nothing left but the cubs.
10:34I bought the only good horse in the whole lot.
10:36And I beat him down to my price, too.
10:38Well, my day will come.
10:39Oh, can't we see what else the traders got left, huh?
10:42You see that, Kansas?
10:43The hope which springs eternal.
11:04Oh, good morning.
11:06Need a horse?
11:07Need a little load.
11:08No, no, no.
11:09Wait a minute.
11:14Now, now, take it easy, Lester.
11:16All you have to do is ask.
11:23Here, partner.
11:2450-50.
11:26You boys aren't on your luck, I'd be glad to help.
11:28Colonel, this is Joel Winters, a friend of mine.
11:32Please to know you, sir.
11:33Lester told me something about a steel dust stale.
11:36They were missing horses.
11:38There's hardly anything to gossip about.
11:40Where's the horse?
11:44Well, wait.
11:45You forgot to tell me that horse wasn't yours when you offered him for sale.
11:49I run an honest business.
11:50If I'd have known he was the Green Valley stud, you'd have never got him.
11:55You put me in the shadow of the hanging rope.
11:58I seen the reward notice.
12:02$500 and no questions asked.
12:13Well, the talk's straight, the colonel man.
12:17That horse and I separated a long time ago.
12:20Couldn't be more than two weeks ago.
12:21Where is he?
12:22He's far away.
12:23I sold him to a gypsy dealer going south in a wagon.
12:26Hey, Jonah.
12:27Take a look through his cabbie.
12:28Hey, he's too smart to ever sell that horse.
12:34Sir, I worked for years to build up a reputation for honesty, integrity, and fair dealing.
12:40There ain't a stallion in the bunch.
12:42Where is he?
12:44Well, if you follow the trail south toward Santa Fe, you'll have to catch up with the man.
12:47Jonah, he's a natural-born liar.
12:53Mr. Cornpone, I can butcher you right where you stand.
12:57Now, take it easy.
12:57Or I can split your lying tongue three ways and get you to say one more lying word.
13:03Hold it, Jonah.
13:04We got curly.
13:06I can still throw this thing, Mr. Cornpone.
13:16Good morning, gentlemen.
13:17Interested in riding stock?
13:18Well, looking for a tough cow pony.
13:20Well, that's what I got the most of.
13:21It's the same old summer trip with the others.
13:22You guarantee this stock?
13:24Mr. I sell them so cheap, I couldn't even guarantee the horse.
13:26What about this blight?
13:30That's a nice-looking animal.
13:34Stock, look him over careful.
13:38Go, boys.
13:44Well, what do you think, son?
13:46Oh, he's got a bow intended.
13:47That's the way to keep your eyes open, son.
13:49Well, it's only out a little.
13:51Probably born that way.
13:52Well, maybe so.
13:52What else have you got?
13:53We'll spread it in the cabbie there, sir.
13:54Take your time and look him over.
13:55You got anything else like that stallion you just sold?
13:58Stallion?
13:58Uh-huh.
14:00Oh, that old crow bait.
14:02Crow bait?
14:02He was no crow bait.
14:03That was a good horse.
14:05That stallion had a white star in his head?
14:07No, he didn't.
14:08What was the price?
14:11I wasn't told, and it's none of my business.
14:15You think we ought to cut Mr. High and Mighty down to our side?
14:18You better start cutting or backing off, mister.
14:20Now, the price was $60.
14:21That same $60 you borrowed from me a few minutes ago.
14:24It was a remarkable animal, but no relation to the one you were interested in, Lester.
14:27Lester had no trouble about it.
14:30Go ahead and buy your horse.
14:33The colonel needs the money.
14:53I think he picked up a rock in his hook.
14:56Well, I hope that's all it is.
15:05It looks all right.
15:09That cannon might be just a bit bold.
15:12Oh, Kansas.
15:14Not again.
15:16You let that man sell you a horse with a game leg.
15:20Well, it might heal.
15:23We can take a chance.
15:24We can't afford that kind of chance.
15:27Now, you better get our money while the getting's good.
15:30If an odd bin skinned, I ain't gonna let the whole town know about it.
15:33Getting our money back is more important than what the town thinks.
15:39All right.
15:41We'll go and I'll see if we can get our money back.
15:44Even fool Lucas McCain.
15:52Well, I don't see anything worth buying here, Mark.
15:55I guess Kansas got the best horse, all right.
15:58Well, let's go.
15:58Oh, just a minute.
16:00I just remembered.
16:01I got the nicest little pony back there.
16:02Just the right size for you, son.
16:04Colonel!
16:05Tony!
16:05Hey, Colonel!
16:06Oh, excuse me.
16:07I want to talk to you.
16:12You sure put it over on me.
16:14Don't you shush me.
16:15Stop it around, please.
16:17Don't think I'm excited.
16:17Something wrong with the horse?
16:19Lucas, I know I'm the most foolish fellow in the whole world, but don't rub it in.
16:24All right, Kansas.
16:26Come on, son.
16:26We'll give that list to Hattie.
16:29Now, sir.
16:30What's wrong?
16:31What's wrong?
16:32I'll tell you what's wrong.
16:34Look here.
16:35He's got a bad leg.
16:38And I think you was on to it.
16:40Bad leg?
16:41Impossible, sir.
16:42You know yourself.
16:43He was in splendid condition.
16:44Oh, I'll admit you fooled me.
16:46I don't know what you're talking about.
16:48Must have stepped on the sharp rock and injured the frog of his foot.
16:51Some slight damage that will quickly heal.
16:54That foot's perfect there.
16:56It's a cannon bone or something else on the inside that I can't see.
16:59He's lame for good.
17:01Now, we want our money back.
17:03Hardly an interesting proposition.
17:05You take a sound horse out of here with no guarantee for me, then bring her back when
17:09he's only fit for the tallow works, then you want your money back.
17:14I'll take $55.
17:16Sir, the fare is fair, and honor is honor, but business is business, too.
17:22A lame horse is no good to me.
17:25He's still mighty fine-looking horse, Paul.
17:28Yes, he is, son.
17:30Let's go see if we can take a look at him.
17:32Well, probably some equitable way of working it out.
17:36Well, I hope something can be worked out.
17:38I can't afford to get stuck for that.
17:41Lucas, I told you I'd feel foolish enough getting stuck with this lame horse without
17:45you butting him to it.
17:47Kansas, I'd just like to take a look.
17:49I guess that can't hurt nothing.
17:51Go ahead.
17:53Well, $30 is my top.
17:55That way we split the loss.
17:57$30?
17:58Kansas, I wouldn't sell that horse.
17:59I think that leg can heal.
18:01Oh, you're wrong, Lucas.
18:03This horse ain't worth the powder to blow him to perdition.
18:06Well, do you want the $30 or not?
18:09Kansas, I'll tell you what I'll do.
18:11I'll give you what you paid.
18:12Now, wait a minute.
18:13You don't want to buy a lame horse.
18:14I got plenty of fine sound stock back there.
18:16No, no.
18:16I want to buy this one.
18:17That is, if Kansas will sell them to me.
18:19You mean you give me $60 for a horse you already know is lame?
18:23Well, now, Kansas, I don't want you to say you were whipsawed into it.
18:26You are, Callie.
18:27Oh, no.
18:29You made yourself a deal.
18:30All right, now, I'm going to borrow your bride.
18:32I'll pay you later.
18:33Take the saddle off.
18:35Certainly.
18:37That's tiny.
18:39Mighty fine looking.
18:41Yeah, sure is.
18:43Let's look it over.
18:48Mind if I look your horse over, friend?
18:51He ain't mind a horse no more.
18:54This here slick horse trader just bought him.
18:57You don't mind if I...
18:57Oh, yes, I do mind.
18:59You just want 10-year-old business, will you?
19:02This is my business, and you're not included.
19:04Come on, son.
19:05You're welcome back slow.
19:06That leg won't bother you.
19:12Lucas, I hate to be the one that's done it, but you've been beat again.
19:18No, no, boy, no.
19:20Colonel, we just want to talk to you a moment.
19:21I told you to talk straight.
19:24That's the stallion.
19:25He's a very hard horse to disguise.
19:27We should have taken him while he was here.
19:29Not in town.
19:30There's law in town.
19:31But out in the sticks, it ain't so crowded.
19:34Colonel, you're going to get us back that horse.
19:37Or die trying.
19:38He looks like a hard man to persuade.
19:41You just don't understand, Colonel.
19:42I'm the hard man to persuade, because I'm liable to kill somebody.
19:45Come on, let's follow.
19:56There you are, son.
19:57That's the answer.
19:58Just long enough and curved enough to reach the quick.
20:00The horse walks on it, he gets sore, and he starts to limp.
20:05But why?
20:07Well, son, the country is full of people who figure they can outsmart a horse trader.
20:11They buy a fine horse like this stallion at a bargain price and figure they'd beaten him.
20:16But the trader's got that trick nail on the horse's foot, the horse goes lame, and the buyer brings him
20:22back.
20:23But, and then he just gives the man back half his money?
20:27Sure, it's an old trick.
20:28And at the next town, he sells him over again, and he gets him back the same way.
20:33That's not right.
20:34No, it's not right.
20:37Well, the colonel won't get back this horse for half a price.
20:43What are you doing?
20:44Well, son, I'm rubbing off another trick.
20:47Horse trading's a game, a very sharp game.
20:50And everybody who plays it knows he better look out.
20:53Better get in the house, son.
20:55Trouble?
20:56Maybe.
20:57Come on.
21:04Well, colonel, what can I do for you?
21:06Well, there's no point in beating around the bush, Mr. McCain.
21:09No, you look like a man of action to me, and I need that horse back.
21:13I forgot that Lester had a prior commitment.
21:15Well, he's not for sale.
21:16Oh, anything is for sale.
21:19I'll give you a hundred dollars for him.
21:20So you can pass him around among unsuspecting farmers and ranchers?
21:26That's part of the profession, sir.
21:29Well, I'll tell you something, colonel.
21:30I've got some pretty good mares, and this stallion is the one I've been wanting.
21:34He's not for sale for love, no money.
21:38Mister, for me it's not love or money, it's life or death.
21:41I told you, Lester, he'd be hard-headed.
21:44Call your game.
21:46You're doing the dealing.
21:48You selling?
21:51Get out of here, and do it quick.
21:56I'm going to slice me some Sosbusters.
22:02Say where we are, fella.
22:05With this, I'm going to split your Adam's apple.
22:24Drop it, McCain, or I'll drop him.
22:28I've got a bead right between your ears.
22:37Looked kind of funny to me.
22:39Colonel being escorted out of town by these two cutthroats,
22:42leaving his music box playing the same song over and over.
22:45Well, they wanted a stallion, Micah.
22:47They wanted it real bad.
22:49How come, colonel?
22:50Well, he's the Green Valley Steel bus.
22:54Well, it's quite a large award being offered for him.
22:57I was just taking him home the long way.
23:01Seems to me you've been knowingly keeping a stolen horse.
23:04Well, he's Lucas McCain's horse marshal.
23:06He's not mine.
23:07Oh, is that so, colonel?
23:10Well, now, in that case, Lucas, I guess you'll get the reward.
23:15Pa!
23:18Everything's all right, son.
23:19Micah, I'll bring the horse into town myself a little later.
23:22Thanks.
23:23Can't we keep him?
23:24No, we can't keep him, son.
23:25He really belongs to someone else.
23:27Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
23:28Next time I get a good horse, I'm going to give you the first chance on him,
23:31and I'll sell him to you at cost.
23:33Will you?
23:34Oh, my honor, as a true gentleman of old Kentucky,
23:37that dark and bloody ground redeemed by Daniel Boone,
23:41that ground of the blue grass,
23:43and the finest horse flesh in this great nation.
23:56Paul?
23:57What is it, Mark?
23:59Do you think we'll ever get another horse like this steel dust?
24:03Well, uh, maybe, if we do some trading.
24:07Yeah, but that's awfully risky.
24:10Well, the first thing you've got to remember when you're trading horses
24:13is to figure that you're going to get skinned.
24:15Sure.
24:16But you have to know the stop, too.
24:19Oh, but that's only the first half of it.
24:21The second half is to know the man.
24:23You weigh every word he says,
24:25and then try and think of all the little things he hasn't said.
24:31Frankly, I'd rather raise my own.
24:34You know, son, that's probably the best way.
24:38Come on, Red, we've got to get you to town.
24:39I'm just kidding.
24:55Go on, Red, we've got to go.
25:30Gracias por ver el video.
