San Francisco
Well Mr. Palladium, we're a quiet, peaceful town here and we don't cotton much to strangers Last thing we need is some goldslinger coming in with a gunbelt full of hard assets to rile everybody up with.
There's a dead portfolio out there, mister, and I intend to find the ones responsible.
Name's Carville. Now just where do you intend to start looking?
My tailor's portfolio was found shot full of lead and lead is a by-product of silver mining.
Then I suggest you take a look see at the Silver Chartist Saloon. Ask for Juanita. I see from your ca-a-rd and holster that you're a chess player, Mr. Palladium--ever have your knight be the first piece you lost in a game?
It's happened.
Well don't let it happen here in Paperville, or it'll also be the last piece you'll ever lose. Just some kindly advice.
(At the saloon)
Jaunita? You're talkin' to her. So your the stranger in black looking for who did in your tailor--yes, word travels fast in this town, Mr....
Palladium. My tailor's name was NPEC--did you know him?
Did I know him? Ha! A regular at the Silver Chartist Saloon. If he was your tailor you1re lucky to still have a shirt .
How's that?
He was a high roller at the tables but always a loser. Had a mine south of town that went bust. Maybe his partners did him in.
Turn around mister, and keep your hands on the bar!
Who's that Juanita?
He's the Deputy Sheriff. Folks call him Packin 'cause he's always packin' a 44.40.
He one of the partners?
Nope. Packin had nothing to gain by your tailor's demise. NPEC owed him big money, but gave him nothing but promises.
I've got no quarrel with you, Packin.
What's that there nag on your holster made of anyways?
You mean POG. It's a gold piece, the most versatile on the commodities board. It can move in eight different directions, over obstacles, and it's always unexpected.
Well I don't buy it.
Well, don't buy it sheriff--buy all the paper you like instead--just tell me where I can find a mine for it.
Only mine in these parts is the silver mine south of town. Fella by the name of Billy Clanton has claim to it now.
(Palladium sees Carville)
Carville, you know a man by the name of Clanton?
You mean old Billy J? You leave Billy be, ya hear? Billy's innocent, just a young kid out havin' his fun.
(Billy grabs Juanita)
Oh, Billy, leave me alone, get your hands off of me. Uh, ouch, you're hurting me!
Let her go.
What're ya gonna to do, stranger, pull a gun on me?
He's drunk, Palladium--he doesn't know what he's doing.
I know what I'm doin'--yes I did in your friend and took the mine for myself and a big old vein of gold along with it. I can short gold and cover with what I stole!
Billy is fast, Palladium. Apologize or he'll kill you.
Yes, Mr. Pal-la-di-um, Apologize or...I'll shoot the girl.
If I have wronged you, I apologize. If I have not, I hope
they hang you. (Both draw guns.)
CLICK
I play chess too Palladium. I unloaded your gun while you dozed. You NRA types suck. Now it's your turn to get found shot full of lead.
CLICK
Moses! Judge Charlie H, what're you doin' sneakin' up from behind and puttin' a gun to my head and cocking the hammer?
I'll take that six-shooter, thank you. He's all yours Palladium. (reloading)
Carville says you're an honest man, Billy J. Clanton. Are you? So
far I've seen you lie, cheat, steal and try murder. You've tried
everything but begging -- now get down on your knees, Billy J.
Please Mr. Palladium, I impeach you, I mean impeach myself, I mean beg you not to pull that trigger.
I told a friend I wear this gun for survival. As bad as you
need killing, I'd prefer to live by that conviction.
What friend is that?
Why, Judge Heston over there, of course. Have you anything to say to him before he sentences you?
I love you man.

From the Tailing Box:
Dear Whirlwind, I see that you are now answering questions regarding
PMs. I am so glad, somebody has to do it. My wife has a terrible case of it every month that last two weeks. Then she has cramps for a week, and is nice for about 5 days, which is not enough, what can I do? --Five Days Is Not Enough.

Dear At a Bottom Now for Gold:
All of my natural resource stocks are down. Why did I ever take the advice of gold newsletters? I'm out a wad of $$$. These penny mining stocks are all scams. --Rooked
