"Must be getting on 2:00." "(HORSE NEIGHING)" "Would you get rid ofthat stuff and come over here?" "They're coming." "(BOTTLE SHATTERING)" "Did you have to finish the whole bottle?" "Yeah." "That way I can convince myself I don't know what I'm doing." "Probably couldn't shoot and hit the ground you're standing on either." "Drunk or sober, Logan," "I never miss." "It's my Ione remaining virtue, such as it is." "It's the two in the middle." "(HORSE NEIGHING)" "Yeah, it is." "You know who they are?" "No." "Well, I do." "They're friends of mine." "Now, come on, Preacher, don't go messing things up for me." "I'm telling you the truth, I used to ride with them." "Sure." "You were probably their spiritual adviser." "Logan, those two blessed boys have saved my Iife more than once." "We hit a train down in Emeryville, posse shot the horse right out from under me." "Heyes, he come back and got me." "Heyes?" "Heyes." "Hannibal Heyes?" "Hannibal Heyes." "Preacher, he's got a $10,000 reward on his head." "Come on, we got to shoot together." "I can't do it." "Now come on, Preacher." "It's not $250, it's $1o,ooo." "It's $20,000." "That's Kid Curry riding with him." "And they're still friends of mine." "I don't need that kind of money." "They don't mean anything to me." "So, I'II just do it by myself." "NARRA TOR:" "Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, the two most successful outlaws in the history of the West." "And in all the trains and banks they robbed, they never shot anyone." "This made our two Iatter-day Robin Hoods very popular with everyone but the railroads and the banks." "CURRY:" "There's one thing we gotta get, Heyes." "HEYES.' What's that?" "CURRY:" "Out of this business." "LOM:" "The governor can't come flat out and give you amnesty now." "First, you gotta prove you deserve it." "Ah, so all we have to do is just stay out of trouble till the governor figures we deserve amnesty." "But in the meantime, we'll still be wanted." "LOM:" "Well, that's true." "Till then, only you, me and the governor will know about it." "It'II be our secret." "CURRY:" "I sure wish the governor would let a few more people in on our secret." "NARRATOR:" "Alias Smith and Jones, starring Pete Duel and Ben Murphy." "Hey, Kid." "Kid, you awake?" "No, I'm not." "We just crossed the border." "We're back in the good old US of A." "Yeah?" "Yeah, I was just thinking, we've been traveling for over a week now and we haven't come close to being arrested even once." "You woke me up to tell me that?" "Why not?" "That's good news." "It's good, Heyes, it just ain't news." "Now will you stop worrying and let me sleep?" "Who's worrying?" "I know you, Heyes." "You can't take it when things are going good." "It makes you nervous." "And your being nervous makes me nervous." "Nothing to get nervous about." "What you need is rest." "You ought to try and get some sleep." "Yeah, I think I will." "QUIRT:" "Howdy, gents." "I'd Iike to invite you boys to step with me to the next car." "We're good and comfortable right here." "You'll like it better there." "Well, now, what could be better than having a whole car to ourselves?" "You boys don't seem to understand." "Mr. Harlenjen himself is inviting you to be his guests." "Mr. Harlenjen owns this railroad that you're riding on." "So unless you have something better to do, we could use a couple of men to fill out a poker game." "You do play poker?" "A little." "Yeah, but not with the president of a railroad." "I'm afraid we just can't afford it." "You can't afford not to." "AII right." "Ace bets." "Ace bets 100." "One hundred." "HARLENJEN:" "And 100 more." "I'II see you." "I'm in." "Fifty." "I'm in." "Christine, would you please bring some more coffee?" "(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWING)" "(LAUGHS)" "You gentlemen said that you were getting off at Bountiful." "Well, we're less than 10 minutes from there." "Eight, to be exact." "And if you don't mind my quitting winners, I think we played just about enough." "That's fine with us." "James?" "It's all right with me, Oscar." "Good." "We'll settle up." "Now, let's see, Mr. Smith, that's 1,000, 2,000, 3,700." "You owe me 37 cents." "And, Mr. Jones, that's 85 cents." "And, James, it's an even half dollar." "Half dollar." "Here you are." "Mr. Harlenjen, why would a rich man like you play poker for 100 chips a penny?" "To be wealthy, you got to know the value of a dollar." "Doesn't change, whether it's one or a million." "Now, I had a partner once..." "Christine, you've had along night." "Why don't you get yourself some rest?" "Thank you." "I am very tired." "Goodbye, Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones." "Miss McNiece." "Ma'am." "She's a lovely child." "She hates my guts." "She's given to the same kind of emotionalism that destroyed her father." "Her father?" "My ex-partner." "We started out in business together." "Did quite well." "But while I was being very careful with the money, he was being a gambler." "Nothing worse than a gambler." "Except, of course, a train robber." "(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)" "We're early." "Ahead of schedule." "I've got to talk to that engineer about going easy on the wood." "Man must think it grows on trees." "HARLENJEN:" "Grows on trees." "Heyes." "Can I use your razor?" "You can go ahead." "It's in the bag." "Find it?" "Not yet." "HEYES:" "Keep looking." "I'm not sure I want to, Heyes." "Where'd you get those?" "Where'd I get..." "Where'd you get those?" "I found them in your bag." "That's not my bag." "Gee, it sure looks like your bag." "Well, I'm telling you, it's not my bag." "A Bible." "Well, I'm convinced." "It ain't your bag." "Christine McNiece." "Harlenjen's secretary." "CURRY:" "She must have a bag just like yours." "Everybody's got a bag just like mine." "Oh, that means she has your bag and your razor." "(GROANS)" "Kid." "Yeah." "Come here." "(CURRY EXCLAIMS)" "We're rich." "Yeah." "These jewels must be worth a fortune." "Maybe two." "That's one for each of us." "No." "No, put it out of your mind." "They belong to somebody else." "We'll have to return them." "Well, Iike my dear old mom used to say, "Finders keepers, Iosers weepers."" "Your mother was a crook." "(GROANS)" "Heyes, I never thought I'd see the day you'd turn against everything we used to believe in." "But, no, I'm being practical." "You remember how hard and far they used to chase us for robbing a train of a few thousand dollars." "What do you suppose they'd do to a fella who steals a few million in jewels?" "Heyes." "Something's happened to you since we went straight." "That's what happened, we went straight." "(GRUNTS)" "We're doing the right thing, Kid." "Heyes, if something happens and for some reason we don't get our amnesty and they hunt us down like dogs and we spend the rest of our miserable lives in prison, will you still think we did the right thing?" "Wonder if we're doing the right thing?" "ALAN:" "Hello, Christine." "CHRISTINE:" "Hello, Alan." "I wish I could've gone with you." "What for?" "So I could've been at your side in case you needed me." "But, I didn't need you, Alan." "Christine, why do you dislike me so?" "Because you're just like your father." "You Iookjust like him, you dress just like him, you talkjust like him, you thinkjust like him." "In 20 years you're going to be him." "Is that so bad?" "It is to me." "(CHRISTINE EXCLAIMS)" "What's the matter?" "What happened?" "Where are they?" "Those two men we played poker with, Smith and Jones." "They must've taken my bag." "By mistake or on purpose?" "It doesn't matter." "Find them!" "(HORSE NEIGHING)" "HEYES:" "That's her room up there." "Now, what makes you so sure ofthat?" "Faith." "In what?" "Me." "I figured it out through the process of elimination." "Now, the folks in town said that Miss McNiece lives out here in the big house." "Now, so does Harlenjen's son and all the rest ofthe people who work with him real close." "And that makes that her room?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "See, over in that corner room, that's got to be Harlenjen's master suite." "Son's gotta be right next door to him." "I figure that Quirt's probably on the other side for protection," "Miss McNiece, she hates his guts, so she's got to be as far away from him as she can." "That puts her right up there in that room, there." "Heyes, you've done it again." "Now all we got to do is figure a way to get up there without waking the whole house." "Heyes, you've done it again." "Well, anyway, I got the right floor." "Mmm-hmm." "Let's get climbing." "CURRY:" "What's the matter?" "We've got ourselves a problem." "Yeah?" "Well, you better solve it in a hurry." "'Cause I don't think I can hang on to this pipe much longer." "Considering why we're here, maybe she won't be too upset." "But she is gonna be surprised." "(CHRISTINE GASPS)" "(GLASS BREAKING)" "See if you can find some smelling salts." "Where?" "I don't know where, just look." "But that's absurd." "It's probably your own trail you followed back here, you blame fool." "Oscar, it is their trail." "Their horses are tied up outside to prove it." "Well, ifthey're here, where are they?" "Here, try that." "Well, that's perfume." "Smells strong to me." "(MOANS)" "I think it's getting to her." "Yeah." "I think it's getting to me, too." "Kid, you're beginning to show an amazing lack of character." "Get that Bible over here." "Miss McNiece." "Speak to me, Miss McNiece." "Speak to me... (GASPS) No, no." "Don't..." "Don't speak to me." "Now, listen, before you go getting hysterical, we have something to show you." "But why did you bring it back?" "Because we're honest, forthright citizens." "Then why did you come through my bedroom window?" "We came in through your window to give you a chance to explain these jewels to us." "Before we go to the federal marshal." "No." "You see, the marshal has nothing to do with this." "It's..." "But it's all honest and aboveboard." "Is that why you were smuggling them across the border?" "I think that you'd better talk to Mr. Harlenjen about this because they're his, not mine." "Why would Mr. Harlenjen carryjewels around in a hollowed out Bible?" "I can't tell you." "I guess we're just gonna have to go see the marshal then." "No, wait!" "Don't go, yet." "Mr. Harlenjen." "I believe you remember Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones." "From the train." "You won 37 cents from me." "Oh, yes, of course, I remember." "It's just that I'm surprised to see you here." "We kind ofthought you might be." "They brought you something, Mr. Harlenjen." "(HARLENJEN CHUCKLES)" "Well, if you'll all please excuse me," "Iwould like to talkto Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones in my study, in private." "Come on." "(DOOR CLOSES)" "HARLENJEN:" "Gentlemen, I owe a great debt to you." "Oh, more than a cigar." "Far, far more than a cigar." "I owe the greatest debt to you that one man can owe to the other." "My profound respect and gratitude." "And I intend to reward you." "Well, now..." "A reward you say." "Yes." "How does $100 a piece sound to you?" "Beg pardon?" "Mmm-hmm." "Did you say $100 a piece for returning millions of dollars of rare gems?" "I can't be expected to pay for your mistakes." "After all, you picked up the wrong bag." "Mr. Smith." "And Mr. Jones." "Don't run off with the bottle." "Oh, indeed." "Yes, of course." "And before I forget, I should get you your money." "You don't mind taking a check, I suppose?" "Well, now, checks are a little hard for us to cash." "We being strangers in these parts and all." "Oh, I don't think we'd have any trouble cashing a check of Mr. Harlenjen's." "Certainly not." "We'll just tell the marshal that it's reward money for returning millions of dollars worth ofjewels." "I'm sure he'II vouch for it at the bank." "Of course, I could give you cash if it's more convenient for you." "No, no, no." "We have to go stop by and see the marshal anyway." "Oh, what for?" "To call off all those men who must be out looking for us." "Those are not the marshal's men." "Those are my men." "The marshal doesn't even know about it, does he?" "Fact is, nobody knows about it, do they?" "How would you Iike to earn another $100?" "I think we'd Iike to earn $1,000." "In return for this" "$1,000, Iwould require complete silence from you about this affair." "Mr. Harlenjen, you already know that my partner and me are men of integrity." "And we don't want to be connected with anything that's crooked." "Oh, no, no." "It's nothing like that." "It's all perfectly lawful, but it's just strictly confidential." "AII right. $1,000, okay?" "For each of us." "That's outrageous." "That's the price." "Very well, gentlemen, it's a deal. $2,000." "I'm a member of an international financial organization that has recently been in very deep trouble." "One of our members, a Mexican gentleman, was on the verge of bankruptcy." "And it was decided the only thing that could save us would be a huge loan to him made secretly." "I made that loan for $5 million." "And the Ingrueso collection is my collateral." "Now you gentlemen must see how important, how absolutely vital, your silence is." "Mr. Harlenjen, how much would you have eventually paid for our silence?" "$10,000?" "Twenty?" "Oh, at least." "At least that." "But you agreed on $2,000." "Alan, what are you doing with those jewels?" "Just admiring them, Father." "Magnificent, aren't they?" "Yes, but I..." "I find it hard to conceive of so little being worth so much." "So little?" "You're talking about one of the finest collections of gems in the world." "I had those jewels checked by two of the best experts in Mexico before I accepted them." "Yes, I knowthat, but to me they could just as easily be so much colored glass." "So much colored glass." "(LAUGHS)" "You know, Alan, it's high time that I taught you a few ofthe rudiments." "Now, take..." "Take this ruby." "Even the layman would know that ifthis were an artificial stone, light would refract around the edges of it and..." "The edges of it..." "Oh, dear." "Oh, dear." "Fine specimen of quartz, Mr. Harlenjen." "Easily worth well over $50." "$50?" "JEWELER: $50." "Smith and Jones, ifthose are indeed their names, still have the gems." "Shall I call the marshal?" "No!" "Don't you understand?" "They know everything." "I told them all the details ofthe loan." "We can't call the Iaw." "We'll have to find them ourselves." "Oscar." "Leave it to me." "Yes, all right." "But be careful." "They're the only people who know where our collateral is." "Don't tell your men anything, just tell them I want them back." "And I want them back alive!" "Ma'am." "I know what you're thinking." "You do?" "Yes." "You're blaming yourself because they were in your bag." "But there's nothing you could have done." "I forgive you." "Oh, thank you, Alan." "No, Alan." "No, Alan!" "Look, I..." "Why not?" "I told you." "You just remind me too much of your father, Alan, and he's too old for me." "LOGAN:" "Hold it, right there." "Logan?" "James Quirt." "I want to talk with you." "What about?" "Business." "There's money in it." "How much money?" "$500 now, $500 later." "For you and another man." "What kind of business?" "Why, the kind you're good at, Logan." "Killing." "Come on, Logan." "You ducking the Iaw or did you come here for spiritual guidance?" "Neither." "I got ajob." "I need a partner." "There's money in it for you." "If you can still shoot as straight as you used to." "$250 now, $250 later." "Doing what?" "Just knocking off a couple of no-good range birds for a fella working for Harlenjen." "Can't do it." "Sixth commandment." ""Thou shalt not kill."" "Less than you have to." "Well, you steal, don't you?" "That's one ofthem rules." "Number eight." "Well, you won't get caught." "What's the difference, you break six or eight?" "The difference is, brother, for breaking number eight they put you in jail, and for number six, they hang you." "Yeah, well, these two need killing." "LOGAN:" "You'd be doing humanity a service." "(TWIG CRACKING)" "Who's out there?" "HANK:" "Mr. Harlenjen sent me." "AII right." "Come on in." "Sit yourself down, have some coffee." "AII right, boys." "Hands up!" "CURRY:" "Mr. Quirt." "Howdy, Mr. Jones." "What's this all about?" "Mr. Harlenjen wants to see you." "He asked me to come and bring you back." "Do you suppose you could explain this a little bit?" "As far as I know, we'd be glad to go back with you." "It'd sure be a shame if you had to hold guns on us all the way for no reason." "Well, the boss didn't confide in me, Mr. Smith, so I'II just have to do what seems right and take no chances." "Windy today, huh?" "You sure you can't tell us what this is all about?" "He didn't tell us." "How can we tell you?" "Who didn't tell you?" "Harlenjen?" "Quirt." "Oh." "Harlenjen the kind of man who..." "Well, he's given to changing his mind a lot?" "I couldn't say." "Maybe." "That must make you kind of insecure." "I'II tell you this." "He's a good man to work for unless you cross him." "And if you do?" "Then it'd be smart to cover your tracks better and travel a lot faster." "So he must figure we crossed him somehow?" "I reckon so." "Must be getting on 2:00." "(HORSE NEIGHING)" "Would you get rid ofthat stuff and come over here?" "They're coming." "(BOTTLE SHATTERING)" "Did you have to finish the whole bottle?" "Yeah." "That way I can convince myself I don't know what I'm doing." "Probably couldn't shoot and hit the ground you're standing on either." "Drunk or sober, Logan," "I never miss." "It's my Ione remaining virtue, such as it is." "It's the two in the middle." "Yeah, it is." "You know who they are?" "No." "Well, I do." "They're friends of mine." "Now, come on, Preacher, don't go messing things up for me." "I'm telling you the truth, I used to ride with them." "Sure." "You were probably their spiritual adviser." "Logan, those two blessed boys have saved my Iife more than once." "We hit a train down in Emeryville, posse shot the horse right out from under me." "Heyes, he come back and got me." "Heyes?" "Heyes." "Hannibal Heyes?" "Hannibal Heyes." "Preacher, he's got a $10,000 reward on his head." "Come on, we got to shoot together." "I can't do it." "Now come on, Preacher." "It's not $250, it's $1o,ooo." "It's $20,000." "That's Kid Curry riding with him." "And they're still friends of mine." "I don't need that kind of money." "They don't mean anything to me." "So, I'II just do it by myself." "(GUN FIRING)" "(MEN CLAMORING)" "Sorry to do it to you, Logan, but the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away." "What's good enough for him is good enough for me." "We'll water our horses." "Carl, Hank, you go first." "Carl, take my horse with you." "AII right, gentlemen, if you will get off your horses, please." "Let's go." "Boys, there's something on my mind." "And I'd Iike to talk to you about it." "What's that?" "Well, I guess you know you are in a mess oftrouble with Mr. Harlenjen." "Yeah, you could say we figured that out." "Yeah, but I can't figure it out." "I heard how you brought back those jewels and I don't know too many people who'd do athing like that." "And the boss asked me to bring you back at gunpoint." "Just seemed like..." "Well, it seemed like you were getting a rotten deal." "What I'm trying to say is I'm getting fed up with the way the boss is doing things." "Mr. Quirt, you're a gentleman." "Ithink I'II follow my conscience for a change." "Now if you boys will get on your horses right now and get away," "I might just manage it to lose you up in those rocks." "Well, that's very nice of you, but wouldn't that put you in a mess oftrouble?" "It might." "But at least my conscience would be clean and that's the main thing." "Mr. Quirt, you got yourself a deal." "We're gonna have to work fast." "I'II fire a couple of shots over your head, and I'm not a very good shot, so the boys will believe it when I don't hit you." "If you can manage to make it up to those rocks," "I'II lead Hank and Carl the other way." "We sure do appreciate this." "Don't mention it." "You thinking what I'm thinking?" "Probably." "I'm willing to bet that makes three of us." "(MEN SHOUTING)" "(GUN FIRES)" "You can't get through there, Heyes." "Come on, turn around." "(GUN FIRING)" "Heyes." "I see it, but I don't believe it." "It's a miracle, ain't it?" "Howdy, Heyes, Kid." "Bless you, boys!" "Dead, Preacher." "Neck's busted." "Sure didn't mean to do that." "Of course you didn't." "His name wouldn't be Quirt, would it?" "That's him." "Well, the Lord moves in mysterious ways." "That's the fella that hired a friend of mine to kill you two." "A friend of yours." "Kind of a misguided friend." "But he'II be thinking a lot clearer from now on." "That is, if his head ain't stove in." "Why?" "What hit him?" "Well, you might call it the left hand of God." "I'II be seeing you, boys." "Be seeing you, Preacher." "Thanks again." "You know, Heyes, I feel it's time for us to be moving on." "Don't you want to find out why Harlenjen's so anxious to see us again?" "Nope." "He'Il blame us for killing Quirt." "Yep." "You know, this is a mighty big state, not that many people know us here." "I'd Iike to stay around a while." "Heyes, what are you getting at?" "Well, I think Harlenjen'Il be pretty interested in finding out what we just found out about Quirt." "Maybe it'Il change his mind about us." "Yeah." "But if it don't change his mind, how're we gonna get away again?" "I'm glad you asked that, Kid." "Uh-huh." "And I'm gonna explain it to you." "But first let's hide Quirt." "What in the name of all the saints is going on here?" "Nowjust keep your voice down, Mr. Harlenjen." "'Cause if anybody should come through that door unexpected-like, shock of it just might make my finger twitch." "Everything will be all right." "We just came to talk to you." "About what?" "To start with, why you sent your men out after us with guns." "(LOUDLY) Why?" "Shh!" "Did you think I'd have those jewels put away without having them checked first?" "I didn't think about it one way or the other." "Well, I did." "And I had them checked." "And?" "And as you very well know, they're fakes." "We do?" "Course you do, it was you who switched them." "We did?" "I'm beginning to catch on." "Ifthe jewels we brought back were fakes, then somebody stole the real ones." "And he thinks that we did?" "(TUTTING)" "Who else could it be?" "If we had the real ones, why would we be here tonight?" "Kind of makes you think, don't it?" "AII right." "Why did you come back tonight?" "Because we didn't make the switch." "The fakes were in Christine's bag when we took it, by mistake." "You gentlemen confuse me more every time I see you." "If you didn't make the switch, who did?" "Quirt?" "Nonsense." "You told him to bring us back alive, didn't you?" "Yes." "He hired two men to kill us." "Hmm?" "It turned out one ofthem was a friend of ours." "So when the ambush didn't happen," "Quirt tried to kill us himself." "Well, if what you say is true, Quirt knows where my collateral is." "He would." "And that would prove your story." "It sure would." "Unfortunately, Quirt's dead." "HARLENJEN:" "You killed him?" "No!" "No." "It was an accident." "And there's a man in town called the Preacher who can prove that, and also that Quirt wanted us dead." "We got a proposition for you, Mr. Harlenjen." "If you'll cooperate with us now and get your men off our heels, we'll get your loot back for you." "How?" "We will?" "Just let out that you don't suspect us anymore." "No." "We left Quirt's body in a ravine where nobody'II find it." "Ordinarily we'd have let the Preacher to give him a decent Christian burial, but that'Il have to wait for a few days." "Let it wait, let it wait." "I just want you to put out that Quirt has disappeared." "Nothing else but that." "AII right?" "AII right." "AII right." "Thank you, Maria." "I'II be back before sundown." "(URGES HORSE)" "Why'd you have to sound so sure of yourself?" "You could have said we'd try to get them back." "It was coming out sounding so good, I just couldn't stop myself." "Here she comes." "Whoa, whoa." "(DOOR OPENING)" "Father?" "No, Christine." "What are you doing here?" "We're looking for Mr. Harlenjen's collateral, right behind you." "What happened to Jim?" "Mr. Quirt?" "He's dead." "I'm sorry." "It was an accident." "You stay right there." "Christine." "Easy now." "Come on." "Give me the gun." "That's as far as it goes." "Drop the gun." "You, too, son." "Now, let's have somebody tell me what's going on." "Sir, your daughter has stolen $5 million from her employer." "What?" "That's not true." "Is it?" "I only took what belonged to my father in the first place." "The truth is, Mr. Harlenjen cheated my father out of his share ofthe business, took all his money, took all his self-respect and ruined my father's life." "Christine!" "I'm sorry." "Well, you've no reason to be sorry." "Yes." "I have." "Because I lied to you." "Harlenjen never cheated me." "And I never realized what my lying about him and about myself would do to you." "You mean that everything he said about you is true?" "Yes." "(CHRISTINE SOBBING)" "You're going to bring charges against Christine?" "What for?" "For believing in her father?" "For having faith in him?" "It doesn't make any difference." "She tried to take $5 million from me." "And that is a thing which is most intolerable." "I must fire her and I must bring charges." "If you bring charges against her, you'll have to tell the marshal about the jewels." "And if you fire her, I'II never set foot in this house again." "(SCOFFS) Where would you go?" "Where you would never hear from me." "I have a lifetime pass on the railroad." "(WALTZ MUSIC PLAYING)" "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "Oh, come in, gentlemen." "Come in." "I want you to have a taste of the finest brandy ever to escape the clutches of Napoleon." "It's imported." "Here you are." "Well, thank you very much." "T0 you?" "To you." "We do hope you boys enjoy yourselves this evening." "Yes, you'll find wine and music and who knows what else." "The entire town is here, so circulate, mingle and carry on." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Good evening, sir." "Oh, good evening, boys." "Your son certainly seems to be in good spirits." "Yes." "Napoleon brandy." "$22 a bottle." "You sure do know how to throw a fine party." "Not mine." "His." "To announce his engagement." "Engagement?" "You mean to..." "Why not?" "She's a clever and resourceful young woman." "And beautiful." "And she did what she did out of principle." "She thought I had cheated her father." "Well, now, you do have to admire a woman of principle." "Yes, yes." "And speaking of principle, Mr. Harlenjen, in the banking sense, I mean, we kind ofthought you might have something to talk over with us." "Such as?" "Such as a little remuneration of some kind." "After all, those jewels were worth millions." "Five, in fact." "But, gentlemen," "I've already rewarded you." "If you'd said anything about money and I'd agreed to it, you'd have every penny by now, but you didn't even mention money." "We thought we'd deliver first and talk money later." "Oh, you'll never have much success in business with that approach." "You mean, you don't intend to pay us anything for saving you $5 million?" "One doesn't come to be a millionaire by being generous." "Except, of course, when it's necessary." "Now what about that little secret of yours?" "The one that would ruin everything if it slipped out?" "Well, gentlemen, we all have our secrets, don't we?" "For example, I did go to see the Preacher, and for a little money he told me the reason why he couldn't bring himself to kill you." "So, I think my secret is safe, Mr. Heyes and Mr. Curry." "I'm Heyes, he's Curry." "Well, gentlemen, it's really been a great, great pleasure meeting you." "I'm sure all those terrible things that they say about you are not really true." "In any case, if you keep my secret, I'II keep yours." "Goodbye, Mr. Harlenjen." "And don't forget, keep in touch." "I may have ajob for you." "I don't think we could afford to take it Mr. Harlenjen." "Good night." "Couldn't afford to take it."
