"I'm very busy." "HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL - WIRE PALADIN" "Paladin?" "That's Right." "Dundee, I trust you will excuse my beard." "Shaving seemed a little unsensible, with all the snow in the mountains." "There's a stable in back for your horse." "Then come inside." "Thank you sir" "Well, it's a very unusual house." "I've seen hunting lodges in Europe but never in this country." "The I built for my wife." "She wanted such a place." "Now's she's dead." "I'm Sorry." "The half-breed is in the mountains." "This place is closer than ranch." "Well that was an excellent meal." "Thank you very much." "I'm glad you have come, Paladin." "I'm told you're a good man." "I'm gonna need a good man behind me." "Mr. Dundee, whose land is it?" "Ordey must have thought it was his." "It's mine." "Ordey worked it." "A man works the land, he doesn't give it up easy." "He did what he had to do." "He fought." "Now I do what I have to do." "You wanted to see me, Mr. Dundee." "Yes." "Come inside." "I do not wish to go into your house Mr. Dundee." "Jose here is the best tracker I have ever known." "Jose is the best search engine around here," "But he is a friend of Ordeys." "I lay in the snow, with a load of buckshot in my belly." "But Ordey slept warm that night at Jose's place." "You'll take me to him Joselito." "Yes, I'll take you, Mr. Dundee." "But it will be a long journey." "A very long journey." "She'll be going into the mountains with us." "That's a very dangerous trip for a woman." "But I want to go, very much" "Take her upstairs, Frank." "She'll want to get some rest." "John, I can take back home." "Take her upstairs." "We better get finished here" "We're getting a early start in the morning." "We start up now." "This is as far as the horses can go." "Can a man live up there alone?" "An Indian can." "We'll camp here tonight, and go the rest of the way on foot." "Willie, you will take the horses back." "Frank, you scout on ahead a couple of miles." "And be careful." "But Mr. Dundee, perhaps I should go." "Andrew is good, but he was not born here." "I want you with me." "But, Mr. Dundee- I want you with me." "Be careful, Frank." "Buenos días, señor." "Buenos días." "Well, the dawn is a beautiful time." "Time when most babies are born." "Time when most men die." "Something troubling you?" "Si." "Tanner did not come back tonight." "Do you smoke?"

"I was just going to get the whiskey." "Just stay here." "You fix that splint yourself?" "No, Ordey did." "Did he fix the fire?" "That too." "Tanner, what kind of man does that?" "He could have killed me John." "It would have been easy." "If he had it would have been easy for me too." "I could just have gone after him like before." "He knew it." "And now?" "Now it will hurt." "That's the only difference." "I gotta leave you, Frank." "You'll last till I get back." "Make up your own mine on that Tanner." "You say the word, and I'll take you back." "Blue Finch." "Been calling all night." "It sounds like a blue finch." "It does sound like a blue finch." "Please Mr. Paladin." "Let her go." "Stay with them." "Keep warm." "Keep dry." "Ordey is..." "My husband." "Let's go." "Dundee, that arm of yours needs caring for." "Let's go." "Anything else I can do for you?" "No." "Thanks, Paladin." "Was it just the land Mrs. Ordey, or was it something else?" "No, it was just the land." "And that Mr. Dundee's wife was killed by Comanche Indians." "And your husband is half Comanche." "My husband is a man, Mr. Paladin." "When I was 8 years old." "I was kidnapped by the Utes." "I lived with them until I was almost 13." "Tom Ordey killed three men to take me away from them." "My husband is a strong and temperate man, Mr. Paladin." "The two men who were with Dundee that day insulted me." "Tom killed them." "It was the thing I expected him to do." "Señor Paladin..." "Do you have another cigar, ¿por favor?" "Jose, you have very good taste." "Oh, but this is luxury." "You are a gentleman." "I will remember you in my prayers." "Con permiso." "Well, now you know." "Now I know, and you should have told me in the beginning." "Would it have made any difference?" "What did you intend to do, Dundee?" "Tie this women to a stake and wait for her husband to come for her." "The women won't be hurt, I give you my word." "You paid me $1000 to bring a murderer in." "This woman was not part of the bargain." "And if she'll go with me, I'm taking her back now." "No, I'll go on with this, Mr. Paladin." "This is something I must do." "Ordey needs taken." "You won't be dirtying your hands." "The half-breed is a murderer." "The "half-breed"." "That's what he is." "How long has your wife been dead?" "Five years." "Well Ordey did not kill her." "He's half Comanche, but he didn't kill your wife." "I don't hate Ordey." "He killed one of my men." "He killed a peace officer who was my friend." "They died because they were standing with me." "I mean to see him hang for that." "That's the whole of it, nothing else." "You hired my gun to bring Ordey in." "If this woman is harmed, in any way" "I'll use the gun on you." "I promise you." "He has went into the high Montes de Sangres." "I can not take you no farther." "Does he know the mountains better thank you do?" "No." "Well he went in and up." "He's the hunted man." "He had no choice." "Neither do you, Jose." "Mr. Dundee, he is a dead man." "Perdone, señora." "On the far side of the high Montes de Sangres there is freedom" "But there has never been a man, not even an Indian" "That crossed that in the winter." "Is that enough for you, Mr. Dundee?" "Do you have to see it?" "Jose." "I want you to go on after him." "Alone, he will let you find him." "Give him this message, it's a true one." "Tell him that are food is low." "Tell him that if we don't turn back in 2 or 3 days" "We won't make it at all." "Tell him his wife will die, unless he comes for her." "I'll kill you if I have to." "Don't you ever doubt it, gunfighter." "Alright Jose." "Give him my message." "If I am not back within a day" "I would advise you to kill him" "And find your own way back." "I have enjoyed your cigars, Mr. Paladin." "Buena suerte." "Gracias." "Señora." "I'll take you back now, Mrs. Orde" "You'll die, and she with you." "You'll never find your way back." "The cold will kill you." "This is something I must do." "I have to be where my husband can find me." "You can't carry me back, and I'm not gonna walk." "If he comes, I'll try and take him." "I hope my husband does not have to kill you, Mr. Paladin." "That's all I can do." "The bullet should come out." "I thank you for trying." "Ms. Ordey." "I am grateful." "Don't go outside." "You know, I keep wondering about Ordey." "I wonder what kind of man he is." "What kind of man is that would set Tanner's leg." "Lit that fire for him." "He could have killed you easily." "Took you in the elbow." "I was a simple shot for him" "Silhouetted up there." "I keep wondering if he wasn't trying for a shoulder shot." "It bothers me." "I think you better give me another drink." "And I wonder about your wife." "My wife is dead." "I keep wondering whats driving you." "I saw my wife after he Comanches were through with her." "I can't forget that." "Leave him, Mr. Paladin." "Let him do this alone." "Mrs. Ordey." "The only reason I'm here right now." "Is because you wouldn't let me take you back." "But you could go back, without me, alone." "You've given me no choice." "Your husband is a murderer, and he's killed two men." "When he comes, I'll have to stand with Dundee." "I understand." "I wish you could have known my husband, Mr. Paladin." "And he you .." "He would have respected you." "It's Jose." "You find him?" "Yes." "You gave him the message message." "I gave him your message." "He told me," "If his wife was harmed he would cut your heart out while you still live" "Sit outside by the fire." "José..." "Over there." "You're to sit still." "If you move-- I won't move, Mr. Dundee." "Not until after my husband kills you." "Where do you stand, Mr. Paladin?" "Where I choose when the time comes." "You can sit by the fire too" "When you know for sure whats pushing you then I'll know where I stand." "I told you, he killed two men." "He killed a peace officer, a good man." "He was my friend." "And Mrs. Ordey?" "I don't want nothing with her." "She was the only way" "I need your help, Paladin." "With it, I have a chance." "Without it, I'll try by myself." "It's your choice." "It is all as it should be." "You are a very generous man, Mr. Paladin." "You will be fine." "The bullet passed through." "I am glad he did not kill you, Mr. Paladin." "But it is too bad you are so heavy." "It is going to be a long walk" "Well I think perhaps you ought to have a cigar now." "As a matter of fact Jose, I think you should probably have them all." "Gracias." "Por nada." "It is a long way across." "And nobody has ever made it before." "Do you think they can?" "I do not know, José," "But there is always a first time."
