"Well, ma'am," "I noticed you sitting with them couple of fellas last couple of nights out." "Call themselves Smith and Jones." "Call themselves?" "I know for a fact that ain't their names, ma'am." "Not when I was up in Denver two years ago." "Go on." "They called themselves something other, some name, something like" "Barton and Slattery or something like that." "And they wasn't no cowboy neither, ma'am." "They was traveling salesmen." "But nobody could figure out what they was selling." "And after a couple of days they up and disappear." "Now, I don't know what they were doing up in Denver, and I don't know what they're doing here." "But I got me a hunch, it ain't what they say it is." "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." "(CURRY AND HEYES MARSHALLING)" "Now, don't go getting proddy." "You better get an interpreter, Heyes." "I mean, after all, he is a Mexican bull." "It's not what you say, it's your tone of voice." "(cow MOOING)" "(GREETING IN SPANISH)" "Hello, there." "We have been watching you, señores." "We've been watching you watching us." "You señores are doing something with these beef cattles?" "Yeah." "We're rounding them up." "But they do not belong to you." "We heard they're mavericks." "Don't belong to anybody." "That may be so, but we know a man who thinks they belong to him." "We asked around before we came out here." "These cows belong to anybody who rounds them up." "Why do you round them up?" "Well, we figured we get a few hundred head of 'em, drive 'em up north, sell 'em in Arizona." "A few hundred?" "Yeah." "(SCOFFS)" "That is much hard work." "You could maybe die before your time." "I feel all right." "You feel all right?" "Oh, wonderful." "We don't even mind the hard work." "It's good for us." "This may be not so good for you as you think." "Vamonos." "Real Iikeable fellas." "In a lethal sort of way." "Move along now." "Easy." "Not too fast." "Come on, in you go." "Yeah." "(WHISTLING)" "There you go." "AII right." "Can you see men doing this kind of work all their lives?" "I'm having a little trouble seeing me do it for another week." "It's not only hard work, it's dangerous." "Well, I'II remind you, Kid, we're not rounding up cattle for a living." "We're doing it to give ourselves a cover without which things could get a Iot more dangerous." "CURRY:" "I still think we could have found a cover that isn't such hard work." "I'II get the gear." "(WOMAN SCREAMING)" "What is it?" "I don't know, but it sure sounds wild." "(SPEAKING FRENCH)" "(SHUSHING)" "Want to start a stampede?" "It's another foreigner." "Who are you?" "Are you American?" "We're the owners ofthe chuck wagon you just moved into." "Who are you?" "Oh." "This is your wagon?" "I'm sorry." "I should have known somebody would come sooner or later." "She doesn't look Mexican." "Nope." "She doesn't sound Mexican." "Nope." "I'm not Mexican, I'm an American." "Nope, you're not that either." "I am an American." "I'm from New Orleans." "My family has been there for three generations, and I bet that I'm more American than you and than you." "Well, that may or may not be true, but you're also along way from New Orleans, and you're in our wagon." "Now, how'd you manage to get way out here?" "I walked." "Well, I didn't walk from New Orleans." "Just from a small seaport town about two miles down the road." "That's where we're headed, to the hotel there." "That's where most people stay, in a hotel." "Unless, of course, they're hiding from somebody." "I'm not hiding from anybody." "I don't have any money, that's all." "I'm hiding." "From Captain McTavish." "Police captain?" "Ship." "I got stranded in Corpus Christi and he said I could have a free passage home." "Only, when we got to sea I realized that it was not going to be so free after all." "We get the picture." "So when we got to San Juan, Ijumped ship." "But you can't stay here." "Why not?" "Well, it's not too safe around here, ma'am." "The local bandits would make your friend McTavish look like a missionary." "Look, I was not lying to you." "I really don't have any money." "How about if we lend you enough for a couple of days?" "Would that help you out?" "You would do that?" "Sure." "Let's just say we kind of like people from back home." "Even ifthey do look and sound a little French." "Especially ifthey look and sound a little French." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING IN SPANISH)" "DEALER:" "Number five wins." "The red pays..." "Take a look." "DEALER:" "Place your bets." "You see Captain McRavish in there?" "McTavish, you mean." "DEALER:" "The bets are down." "Oh, you were making a small joke." "Smaller than I figured." "No, I don't see him." "DEALER:" "Eight wins." "Well, you're all set." "Carlos here will show you up to your room." "MICHELLE:" "I really don't know how to thank you." "Well, I'II tell you one way you can." "How about joining us for dinner tonight?" "I was afraid you were not going to ask me." "We'll be waiting for you in there whenever you're ready." "This way, Señorita." "DEALER:" "Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen." "No..." "Now, Heyes, Iwas onlythinking." "I know what you were only thinking." "Iwas onlythinking about our cover." "Well, now you got to admit that it's only a substantial type citizen who'd help the needy with nothing in it for himself personally." "Hmm." "Well, it's just lucky for the needy that she happens to be pretty or she'd be spending tonight on a bed of cactus instead of feathers, huh?" "Oh, Heyes." "My intentions are strictly aboveboard and forthright." "Hmm, that's the point." "They shouldn't be." "Or have you forgotten why we're here?" "CURRY:" "I haven't forgotten." "DEALER:" "Sixteen, 1-6."

"Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen." "Bets are down." "Number eight." "Eight!" "(PEOPLE CHEERING)" "I think we've done enough gambling for one evening." "This whole trip is gonna be a gamble." "But we're gonna make it pay off." "Excuse me." "Beg your pardon, Miss Graham." "Yes?" "My friend and I find ourselves with a guest for supper, and it seems a little out of balance, one woman, two men." "I wonder if you'd do us the honor ofjoining us?" "To even the odds, you might say." "Well, I usually make it a rule never to socialize with the hotel guests." "But in your case," "I think I'II make an exception." "Glad you could join us, Miss Graham." "Nice to be asked, and my friends call me Blanche." "Ifl remember, you are Thaddeus Jones and Joshua Smith?" "And you, I'II bet you're the young lady a certain sea captain's been looking for all day." "Is he still looking for me?" "Well, he was." "His ship sailed two hours ago." "Oh, thank goodness." "Look, I don't know what he told you, but the truth is that he promised me..." "Ah, free passage home?" "It's happened before?" "Well, with McTavish it has." "How'd you get mixed up with him in the first place?" "I was traveling with a tent show." "Our manager abandoned us and he took all the money and the tent." "You're an entertainer?" "Well, I do a little bit of dancing, and some people, Iike my mother, well, she thinks I have a nice voice." "You couldn't use a one-girl musical in your casino, could you?" "Well, I'd really like to help you, but my overhead is so high and mariachis playjust for tips." "Oh, I would sing for tips." "Sounds like a pretty good idea, Blanche." "Pretty girl to throw pesos at." "Could bring in a few more customers to the gambling tables." "You haven't got much to lose." "Do you think they would throw gold nuggets at me" "like they did with Lola Montez?" "Sorry, honey." "It's a silver strike, no nuggets." "AII right." "Do you think you want to try?" "Oh, I'II do better than that." "I may not be as good as my mother thinks, but I'm much better than I think." "And I need the money." "Well, here's to you then." "Michelle Monet, an American chanteuse in Mexico." "And to you, Blanche, the beautiful and generous lady who made it possible." "I don't believe you two are ordinary cowpokes." "Well, I never said we were ordinary." "If you were, you wouldn't be trying to round up those wild cattle." "What do you plan to do with them?" "Drive 'em north and sell 'em in Arizona." "We're here already." "Well, I could take you back downstairs and we could come up again." "Hasn't anybody told you what else is up on that mesa besides maverick cows?" "Maverick bulls?" "(CHUCKLING)" "AII right, somebody has told you, and you think you can laugh him off." "I admire your courage, trying to take EI Clavo's beef right from under his nose." "I also think you could get yourselves killed rather suddenly." "You know what, you've restored my faith in man." "Thank you." "You don't have to thank me." "I liked helping you." "Well, I Iike trying to thank you." "(KEYS JINGLING)" "Pleasant dreams, Michelle." "EI Clavo." "He's the local bandido chief, huh?" "He thinks those mavericks belong to him." "They're his food supply." "You know the old saying, Blanche," ""Nothing worthwhile ever comes easy."" "Beef prices are pretty high right now in the States." "You and your friend are putting your lives on the line." "Are beef prices that high?" "Vamonos." "(ALL SHOUTING)" "(MEN LAUGHING)" "(MEN CHATTERING)" "I heard you came in shot up." "How bad is it?" "Hardly even nicked me." "Stopped bleeding before I got my shirt off." "Well, I thought you could use a drink." "One thing we do appreciate, Blanche, you didn't come in here and say, "I told you so."" "I was just getting to it." "I told you so." "Now we know better, huh?" "And just in time." "So tomorrow we'll try the other side ofthe mesa." "Well, you're both long on nerve, and I can't help admiring you for that." "It's a shame you're so short on good sense." "She's right, you know." "And as much as I Iike you, both of you," "I don't think I want anymore to do with someone who's trying to get himself killed." "You and the needy folk seem to be getting along just fine." "AII right." "So I made a mistake." "But you're doing real fine with Blanche." "AII according to plan." "McKendricks said we had to get her across the border without using force." "Yeah, I know." "Warming her up a little bit with your charm, that's one thing, but getting her to cross the border into the States, that's another." "It's a beginning." "Uh-huh." "Those guards of hers find out, it's gonna be the end." "I think you're pressing our luck coming back out here." "Now look, you just stop worrying and let me do the thinking." "I can handle EI Clavo." "Like I said, Heyes, we should have come up with a safer cover-up." "Now's your chance to handle him, Heyes." "Morning." "Are you the gentleman they call EI Clavo?" "I have been called that." "Well, Señor Clavo," "I think it's about time we get down to business, don't you?" "I'm willing to make you a proposition." "Get down." "Now, why do you do this foolish thing?" "To trust your lives to a man of my small mercy." "And how's your shoulder?" "Oh, it's fine, fine." "It's a pretty neat trick, grazing me like that." "A moving target at 400 yards is pretty good." "No." "It was not so neat." "I was aiming for your cabeza." "Here." "Oh." "But fortunately for you, I missed." "So, why you come?" "We came about the cattle, ones we've been rounding up." "The cattle you have taken is my cattle." "AII right, can we make a deal with you?" "A deal?" "For my cattle?" "That's right." "Cattle prices are way up in the United States." "You'd be surprised how much those scrawny beasts of yours would bring." "AII you gotta do is let us round 'em up, drive 'em north, sell 'em, and we'll split 50-50 with you." "That cattle is food for my men." "Food for my men is much more important than a few gringo dollars." "No deal?" "No deal." "See, I'm talking about real money." "I mean, those cattle of yours, they'll bring at least $30 a head." "Oh, no." "$30 American?" "That's right." "It's a seller's market up there." "$30 American, for each of my scrawny beasts?" "Uh-huh." "$30 a head, that's the going price." "How many cattle will you..." "How many cattle will we sell?" "I figure our buyer can handle 500 head." "Now, remember, my partner and me, we'd get half ofthat." "That's for rounding' 'em up and drivin' 'em up there, and lining up the buyer in the first place." "Naturally, naturally." "Half for you, half for me." "Me and my men." "Yeah." "It comes to 7,500 American dollars for you and 7,500 American dollars for me." "And your men." "Yeah." "Yeah, that's right, that's the figure." "Señores, you have a deal with EI Clavo." "You have a deal with EI Clavo?" "Well, he's coming in as kind of a silent partner." "Anyway, he'II stay silent I guess until he finds out the real price of beef in Arizona." "Why?" "What is beef selling for?" "$20 a head." "And for scrub cattle like his," "$8 a head, tops." "And that isn't what you told him?" "No, no." "I told him what I needed to, in order to get him on our side." "Temporarily." "You know something, Joshua, you're the kind of man I was beginning to think I'd never meet." "I mean it." "Anybody who can ride into EI Clavo's camp and come back with his head on, let alone a cattle deal, well, you're something special." "So are you." "Señorita, could I see you for a moment?" "It is most important." "The perils of running a business." "We'll try again later, all right?" "Very much all right." "Good luck, Michelle." "Thank you." "(PEOPLE CHATTERING)" "We're doing fine." "Mmm-hmm, I noticed." "Michelle's dedicating her next love song to you and Blanche." "Well, that's good, isn't it?" "Unless you get careless in the clinches." "Kid, nobody has to tell me how to handle myself in the clinches." "Well, you might just keep just one thing in mind." "The last man who thought he could handle Blanche is dead now." "(MICHELLE PLAYING GUITAR)" "(SINGING IN FRENCH)" "This gentleman has been playing faro with unfortunate luck." "He asked for credit, which of course I told him was against the rules ofthe house." "That's right, friend." "No credit." "But didn't he tell you I had some information you'd want to hear?" "I thought maybe you want to hear what he has to say because of your orders that you want to be told anything having to do with Americanos who come to San Juan." "I'II listen, but I'm not making any promises." "Well, ma'am," "I noticed you sitting with them couple of fellas last couple of nights out." "Call themselves Smith and Jones." "Call themselves?" "I know for a fact that ain't their names, ma'am." "Not when I was up in Denver two years ago." "Go on." "They called themselves something other, some name, something like" "Barton and Slattery or something like that." "And they wasn't no cowboys neither, ma'am." "They was traveling salesmen." "But nobody could figure out what they was selling." "And after a couple of days they up and disappear." "Now, I don't know what they were doing up in Denver, and I don't know what they're doing here." "But I got me a hunch, it ain't what they say it is."

"Gamblers are the worst tippers in the world." "Oh, they'll tip the dealer because they're superstitious or because they think he might let them win but a singer, no." "They figure they've already paid for you." "I'm afraid you're right." "Michelle, how would you like to earn everything you want?" "First class passage to New Orleans plus a new wardrobe plus, oh, $200 pin money?" "That would be wonderful." "How?" "I'II give you all that in return for one little favor to me." "(SINGING IN FRENCH)" "Michelle?" "I've been looking all over for you." "Is something wrong?" "I don't know." "Is something wrong?" "You're asking me?" "Blanche offered me everything I wanted." "My passage home, money, clothes." "AII I have to do is find out who you and Josh really are, and why you're in San Juan." "I see." "She said you've been lying about who you are and what you're doing here." "She tell you why she thought that?" "No." "Is it true?" "Michelle, there are a lot ofthings Ijust can't tell you." "I'm sorry." "Wish I could." "I'II tell Blanche I couldn't get anything out of you ifthat's what you want me to tell her." "And give up your passage for New Orleans?" "New Orleans will always be there." "I'm not so sure about you." "I knew it." "I knew it." "The minute I walked into this room, I knew it." "I had a feeling something was wrong." "I knew this room had been searched." "What could've happened?" "I don't know what happened, but something sure tipped Blanche off." "If she suspects anything at all, the plan won't work." "So we'd betterjust pack up and get out of here." "Forget about Blanche?" "We got to, Heyes." "Look, if she's suspicious, we're not gonna be able to get her across the border of her own free will." "And if we have to use force, it ain't gonna work." "Not to mention the fact that we're not gonna get paid the $5,000 for bringing her in." "So, come on, let's pack up and get out of here." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "There's another way." "It's a different kind of bait, but it still works!" "A different kind of what?" "Bait." "And the bait is us." "You and I are worth $10,000 reward each." "And it's collectable in the US of A." "Now that's a language that Blanche understands." "You mean, you're gonna tell Blanche who we are?" "No, Michelle is." "Kid Curry and Hannibal Heyes?" "Shh." "Yeah, that's right." "Have you ever heard ofthem before?" "Of course I've heard ofthem." "They are notorious outlaws, bank robbers." "Well, I want you to tell Blanche in the morning that you did what she wanted." "You got me drunk, and I told you that we were Heyes and Curry and we were hiding out down here until things got cooler for us in the States." "Why would she believe such a ridiculous story?" "They way our luck's running, she'II believe it." "She'll not only believe it, she'II eat it up and she'II sell our scalps to the first Iawman she can find." "Why, she couldn't do that." "I mean, you're not really Curry and Heyes." "Are you?" "Michelle, how could you believe that we were a pair of such bad, rotten, dishonest men like that?" "But then how can I make her believe it?" "And why do you want her to?" "Because she killed her husband, who happens to be the son of a man that we know and like very much." "And the only way we can get her across the border to face trial is for you to tell her a story exactly the way I'm gonna tell it to you." "And she'II believe it like it was carved in stone and handed down from a mountain." "Curry and Heyes!" "Of course they're not Curry and Heyes!" "Well, that's what I thought when he first told me." "He had been drinking so much." "I encouraged him to drink just like you said." "And like you I thought he was very drunk, and he was trying to impress me or something." "That's exactly what it was." "Until this morning." "That's when I started to think that maybe it was true." "VVhy?" "Well, he came into my room very early," "Mr. Jones, and he looked kind of frightened." "He asked me if he had been drunk last night, and I said, "Yes, quite drunk."" "And he wanted to know if he had said anything funny." "And I said yes, that he told me that he was Kid Curry and that Mr. Smith was Hannibal Heyes." "So he started to laugh, only it was not really a laugh." "It was kind of scary, you know, Iike somebody trying to laugh who really wants to cry." "And he said he was doing that all the time, getting drunk and telling some innocent girl lies." "That he was sorry if he'd frightened me." "That he was not Kid Curry and that Mr. Smith was not Hannibal Heyes." "I said I knew that all the time." "That does make it sound a little different, doesn't it?" "Have I earned my passage home?" "Let's wait until I've had a chance to do a little checking myself."

"Enough men to finish your round-up in three or four days and stay with you on the drive to Arizona." "Fine, what do I pay 'em with?" "Oh, you don't." "I pay them." "And you cut me in for a third of your money when the herd is sold." "That sounds fair enough to me." "Better to give up a third than to lose everything." "I'II talk it over with my partner." "Oh, one other thing." "If we make a deal, I come along for the drive." "What's wrong?" "Don't you trust us, Blanche?" "Well, of course I do." "No, it's that I have some business to attend to in the States." "We can bring Michelle along, for appearance's sake." "She can take the train home, and it'Il give us a chance to get better acquainted." "Blanche, I Iike the way you do things." "Wait here." "I'II put it up to Thaddeus right now." "Look serious." "We're dickering to cut her in on the herd." "The trap just went snap." "You sure it wasn't our necks it just went snap on?" "Okay, that's enough dickering." "Nod your neck." "Your head."

"You know it's not what I want now." "Michelle, what you ought to do is find yourself some nice fellow who works in a bank or something." "It's too late." "I found myself a nice fellow with a silly name like Thaddeus." "Only, it isn't Thaddeus, is it?" "When you get home, you're gonna forget all about me."
