LEE—That being the case, I wish you would proceed to your own affairs and allow me to attend to mine.
BUCK—We'd be happy to have you, but this here you're doing now, don't happen to be none of your business.
LEE—Evidently you are looking for trouble, but I am much too busy to oblige you.
BUCK—Unless you leave off being busy right here and now, you're pretty liable to land in a heap o' trouble.
LEE—I am not in the least interested in your threats and I will ask you to be kind enough to leave in order to save me the trouble of having you put out.
BUCK—I reckon you don't know who you're talking to. I'm Buck Brown and this is Coyote Jim, my running mate, and all the rest of these here is our pals and have come to back us up in anything we say.
LEE—I am here to work not to argue. If you are not away from these works in three minutes, I will take means to see that you are.
BUCK—Did you know the city gov'ment wasn't going to give you no money for your work?
LEE—They can do as they like with their own, but I was sent here to do certain work, and I will do it.
BUCK—(Pointing.) Do you see them cannons up there? Unless you quit your dirty meddlin', you'll have a chance to get acquainted with them.
