Steve and Man in “Run Away Home”

[Steve meets a man on the road while he is looking for the Virginian, after they are separated.]

Steve

Hey mister, I could use some help.

Man

Whoa. Now how did a young fellow like you get lost? Well, the nearest town is only about --

Steve

No, I'm not looking for a town. What I wanted to ask -

Man

Don't tell me you're looking for work! Ah, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a job this time of year!

Steve

No I'm not looking for work, I'm trying to track down a man.

Man

Somebody robbed you, huh? Probably a railroad tramp. It happens all the time around here.

Steve

It's a friend of mine!

Man

A friend robbed you? Well no wonder you're looking for him! I'll tell you - any man that takes advantage of a friend --

Steve

He didn't rob me. We got separated. Now a farmer sold him a horse a few miles back with out a saddle, and I'm trying to find him.

Man

Who, the farmer?

Steve

My friend. You didn't happen to see him, did you?

Man

How do you expect me to know who your friends are?

Steve

He was riding a horse without a saddle on it. Now, did you happen to see anybody riding a horse without a saddle?

Man

Oh. Haha! No, I haven't seen anybody like that, boy. Well, good luck!!

Steve

I'll need it.
