00:00I found this ad, says you might be needing some help.
00:06You look like hell.
00:07I can smell the whiskey on you from up here.
00:09Don't come back till you're off the bomb, dear.
00:12Hey partner, check out that ranch on Route 10.
00:15I can give you $100 a week, a place to sleep, and three meals a day.
00:18That'd be fine, ma'am.
00:19What would I be doing?
00:20Chewing?
00:21Breaking colts?
00:22Not exactly.
00:23I'm the boss on this outfit, so you put on a show.
00:27Let me get a big smile, come on.
00:30You'll get the hang of it.
00:31Oh, I hope not.
00:32No cowboying jobs right now.
00:33I just need to get back on my feet.
00:38What do you think of our new boarder?
00:39It's like keeping away from the amateurs for another day or two.
00:42Looks like he's been through hell.
00:43I can work with him if you like.
00:45Jess may have hired you, but what I say goes.
00:47I don't want you working with that horse.
00:49You, sir, get the honor of another day at the end of a scoop shovel.
00:57I know how you feel, buddy.
00:59You know, sometimes you just gotta run.
01:03Henry Frye.
01:04That's a sad story.
01:06Been for a drink, are ya?
01:07I'd be drinking too if I'd done what you did.
01:09Take your show someplace else.
01:13What happened to you?
01:14I missed a step.
01:15When your night drinking affects your day's work, I'll no longer have a use for you.
01:19I walked into the valley of fire, and I did not return.
01:28It's your heart, Henry.
01:30Your heart isn't right.
01:33Maybe we both need to get our hearts checked out, huh, boy?
01:38How about some breakfast?
01:39Please call me Henry.
01:40Only bankers and lawyers call me Mr. McBride.
01:43I wouldn't want to be mistaken for either.
01:49I've never been around a horse like that before.
01:53He looks right through me.
01:55Like he knows who I am, where I've been, what I've done.
02:01We're all gonna get better.
