[1946] [Canyon Passage] English Transcripts

(1) Give him a rubdown and plenty of feed. Yes, sir.
(2) Logan Stuart's the name. Thanks, Mr. Stuart.
(3) Damp day.
(4) How's Jacksonville? Lively.
(5) Credit to account? I'll take that specie.
(6) We're short of cash at the diggings.
(7) What time do you open in the morning?
(8) Tomorrow's Sunday.
(9) Then put the specie in the saddle bags
(10) and I'll come by for it before you close tonight.
(11) You must have around 7,000 here.
(12) That's no trinket to be left lying loose around a hotel room.
(13) Gold is only yellow gravel, Cornelius.
(14) Yes, but the yellow color makes all the difference.
(15) Butter's yellow, too, and you can spread it on bread.
(16) Ever try that with gold?
(17) For a business man, you've got odd ideas.
(18) If I were a banker, as I shall be some day,
(19) I'd set you down as unsound and lend you nothing.
(20) A man can choose his own gods, Cornelius. What are your gods?
(21) What?
(22) Damp day.
(23) Let me see that. Yes, sir.
(24) It's a beautiful little locket. It came from England.
(25) I'll take it.
(26) A fortunate young lady, whoever she is. Anything else, sir?
(27) Yes, I need some dry clothes, shirt, socks, everything from the skin out.
(28) Hey, Logan! Come here.
(29) How are you, McLane?
(30) Fine. Just the man I want to see.
(31) What are the Indians doing down your way this year?
(32) So far, quiet and uncertain.
(33) Whiskey? Whiskey.
(34) Whiskey.
(35) Logan, I've got a consignment of general hardware from the brig Alice
(36) to be delivered to Clay King at Jacksonville.
(37) It's cloth, rope, tin dishes, buckets.
(38) I'm shipping by boat to Salem.
(39) Do you want to pack it from there?
(40) How many mules will it make?
(41) Oh, 20, I suppose. What's your freight?
(42) Three dollars a mule per day.
(43) Agreeable.
(44) It'll be in Salem on the 20th. Two more of the same.
(45) Not for me. I've got to see
(46) if I can get a load of windows hauled out to Gales Creek.
(47) Windows? Windows with glass?
(48) We're becoming civilized.
(49) Oh, Bob. Bob Miller.
(50) Lumber's selling sky-high in San Francisco.
(51) You sure enough will make a handsome profit, Captain.
(52) Miss Lucy Overmire arrived?
(53) In Room 10. Just off the Cascades boat. Thanks.
(54) She's been asking for George Camrose.
(55) We got through all right.
(56) But the train back of us, 50 wagons, not a one of them left.
(57) Come in, George.
(58) Why, Logan! Hello, Lucy.
(59) Oh, George had to make a sudden trip to Crescent City.
(60) He knew I was coming up, so he asked me if I'd bring you home.
(61) Will you mind having me on your hands, Logan?
(62) That was a foolish question.
(63) You don't mind having women on your hands.
(64) Where did you get that?
(65) Rumor.
(66) George Camrose, I bet.
(67) Oh, have you got stout clothes?
(68) I want to get started before daylight and the weather's foul.
(69) I don't mind.
(70) How was your visit up at The Dalles?
(71) Quiet.
(72) Oh, Logan, there were a lot of cattle abandoned by the emigrants.
(73) You could probably get them for very little.
(74) Did you see any mules? No.
(75) Well, five o'clock then, and dress warm.
(76) We'll make Salem the first day and Toms River the second.
(77) We should be in Jacksonville Friday afternoon,
(78) unless that's traveling too fast for you.
(79) No.
(80) I suppose you're going down to play a little poker now.
(81) I guess not. Good night.
(82) A woman, Logan?
(83) I kept open for you. Thanks.
(84) I was just reading in the Advertiser
(85) they've completed a suspension bridge
(86) across Niagara Falls for the railroad. Well, that's progress.
(87) Out our way, we haven't even got a stagecoach yet.
(88) Well, you've got to have the roads first.
(89) Maybe it's the other way around.
(90) Get the stagecoaches and there'll be plenty of roads.
(91) Well, from a banking viewpoint,
(92) I'd want to be sure there were roads there first!
(93) What's that?
(94) I said, from a banking viewpoint, I'd...
(95) Oh, poohdaddle!
(96) Come in, Logan.
(97) You see, it wasn't a woman.
(98) Why didn't you say so then?
(99) You're marrying George, not me.
