I've been mixed up in a lot of things, Tate, but up to now, I've never been hired for my guns.

Jim Garry:
It starts with your double-cross of a bunch of jug-headed farmers and the hiring of gun hands. It goes on to your making love to a man's daughter to get her to turn against her own father, and your try for Lufton today. It's past that, to the death of Kris Barden's son, and it winds up right here, with Reardon waiting outside to see if I go with you, or if he shoots me in the back.

It's about your son, Barden. He was killed in the raid.

Kris Barden: Big price to pay for a little bit of grass.

Kris Barden:
Did you ever notice how them four always stick together?
Fred Barden: Why not? Reardon and Shotten work for Riling, and Garry's a friend that just came in to help.
Kris Barden: I can buy me that kind of friend for $75 a month and no questions asked.

Your cut will be $10,000.
Jim Garry: What do I have to do to earn it?

Here's the item we were talking about the other day. I think you'll find it satisfactory.
