Trampas, Virginian and others in “The Price of Love”

I... it... well, it just couldn't be helped, that's all.

Just couldn't be helped. You had to step in there and start swinging at Kimbro's man.

Well they... I couldn't let them beat up on a man like that.

Well why'd he start the fight in the first place? He got a hot temper or something?

Well no, not exactly... Oh you'll like him. Wait till you meet him.

I'm going to meet him right now. Grainger's invited me to supper.

Good, good.

Now look Trampas, I hope your new friend hasn't said anything to Mr. Grainger about this fight in town.

Yeah.

He'd be pretty unhappy to hear about it.

Ummhum.... Yeah, he would.

He wants those water rights settled in court, not in a bar room rout on the range.

Uh huh..

Yeah, you say "Uh huh" and you nod, but this isn't anything I want you to shrug off. Now I mean it Trampas! You better learn to control yourself when you get in a situation-

(enters) Hey, hey, hey, what's all the yelling about, huh?

Oh we're not yelling. Uh, this here's the foreman - this here's Danny.

Oh well, you're the one Mr. Grainger sent me down to fetch. Supper's almost ready.

I'll get my hat.

You know from the way Trampas described you, I'd expected somebody different.

Uh Danny...

You saying something to me?

I just don't like being yelled at, or seeing my friends yelled at.

Denny. (in a nervous voice) Denny... uh..he's the foreman.

You keep in mind what I said.

Oh, you bet. (The Virginian walks out) Uh, Denny look, uh, thanks for trying to help but uh... Denny? No, not with him... See, he'd my best friend! Best friend I got. And, uh, sometimes we just yell at each other...you know, doesn't mean anything... I yell at him...he yells at me.
