Post by bunniefuu »

We're going to take a look

at Charlie Brown.

Anybody in the

measure?

Yeah, but come on, she's better.

Take a look inside Bill.

All right, Come on.

Out of there.

All right, Come on out of there.

America!

Oh, and blazes are you in?

Oh, you're.

American.

I thought somebody swam, so I.

Made a mistake.

Who are you and what are you doing
way out here?

I go on camera.

Do you understand?

No, I'm afraid I don't understand.

I'm sorry.

Where are you heading for?

To California.

I'm Francisco. Route.

You're going to San Francisco
all by yourself?

Mr.. I don't know

whether you know it or not,
but San Francisco's quite a ways.





Is it far? Far?

Well, it's a lot farther
than you were going to get by yourself,

especially with a Comanche w*r party
running around.

What happened? Your horses, You get them

Indian.

They're Comanche, all right.

Train was to scare them off.

What kind of a forerunner
do you figure it is?

I think they're Japanese, Bill.

You said something about Nippon
and Samurai.

I thought it was Samurai.

I've never heard of either one of them.

Well, you know, you're not going to get
very far all by yourself out here.

Maybe you better go get them a team.

All right. Be right back.

You better come along with us. Mr.

Who? California.

That's right.

We had in California the.

You know our name.

Adams says Adams.

It's all just.

I'm not.

I think I thought.

Well, that means Thanks. Bye.

All I can say is You're welcome.

I guess,

for your wagon.

I'm really Want to get this one in there.

You order in back rest.

You first.

Get on back to your wagon.

Will report out right away.
That ain't true.

It can be.

You're going to escape from the sideshow
cellar.

No, not hardly.

But I do know where it come from.

Hey, Major,

you know what you got there?

It's going to eat you up.

You know this fella?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm personal manager,

but what you got as a genuine,
honest Injun Japanese from Japan?

How come you know
so much about Japan? When?

What do you think they got me, sailor for?

Well, I was with all Commodore Perry
when we opened Japan back in 1853.

Coming up every few.

Days here was.

Yeah. Yeah.

It'll be July 1853
I think thousand like these are fellows.

Wherever you can find out for me
just what two Japanese are doing.

Play out here in the center. Kansas.

You know, ordinary Japanese.

Neither major for the cut of his job,
I'd say he was one of them salaries.

That's a kind of a soldier. Like.

That's all.

I'm right.

Now. They're funny critters, Major.

Maybe you better let me talk to him alone.

All right.

Go ahead

of those.

Mirrors.

I can figure out.

Major,
him and his boss are headed for back East.

But his boss got the fever and died.

That right? It isn't.

It's not a diet.

He hadn't.

Although Emperor.

So I'm a right of retirement home? No.

Yeah. This.

That's Prince.

Some kind of an ambassador, I guess.

Now you know anything about Japan?

They do very little.

Well, they don't got much to people either
coming there or leaving.

So you can bet that the zeros on here
is pretty big, man.

They wouldn't let them out of the country,
not even on an official mission.

Or how come he was headed west?

Well, Japan's a small country.

Now. If you want to go anywhere,

you just head in the right direction
and start a couple of days.

You get where you want to go.

Well, Mr.

Ito, I guess you're just plain lucky
we haven't long

these Comanches around here.

It sure like, get scared, viewers.

I do not understand.

You don't have to understand.

You stick with this.

Can you be all right?

Well, I don't think we're going
to get much for the day anyhow,

so we might as well make camp.

Why don't you come up down there
around that much treason?

All right.

Lane, how about you ride in herd
on these two for a little while?

They've got a lot to learn.

They glad to do.

I didn't know.

You were so hospitable, sir.

That's so.

Well, the way you're looking after
those two characters that I didn't know

you better.

I'd say you were being friendly
and friend, so.

Well, he's been around the Far East
as much as I have.

You just might be doing the same thing.

I don't get it, sailor.

You know that
black. Box he's been carrying around?

You take my word for it that

in his private papers, he's
Japanese of what you call Buddhist Shinto.

So that India, Japan, China, Korea, India.

See on all of them strange places,
All of them that I don't see.

I've even seen idols
carved on a solid jewels.

You're kidding, I Oh.

Sapphires sometimes.

Pearls, diamonds.

Even if they carved on a jewels,
they got you stuck in them someplace.

You think that's
maybe what they got in that box?

Oh, I think it is. I ain't seen today.

I'd sure like to have a look inside.

Yeah, So what I.

I've been thinking

is here it was all fired,
anxious to get on to California.

Ain't going to be happy
going as. Slow as a train.

And you think
maybe you'll take up by himself?

He might be. Thought he'd have company.

Someone who knows a country

like us.

Yeah.

And if he was to borrow that, black boxes

couldn't hardly call it stealing. Now.

Not then.

You know, I've been thinking to Santa.

This is the slowest train other than with
Maybe we ought to take off.

So that don't sound like a bad idea.

It's a good idea.

Carved out of a hole.

Down the street to

the big skies.

Mr. Them Yet

it ain't big sky,

big country.

You got anything like that
in your homeland? No.

Nippon is a very small,
very little country,

but very beautiful.

There.

We have some beauty here, too, especially
when we get to the Rocky Mountains.

Oh, Mr..

I don't miss.

How long would it be to California?

Well, that's kind of hard to say, Mr. Ito.

Maybe two, three months.

That is, if we don't have any. Trouble

or for.

How we got a lot of ground to cover.

So I.

We keep moving all the time.

Doesn't pay
to look around in Comanche country.

One cute hobby.

We're just about as savages. They come

I guess that's another thing
you don't have in your country.

The Indians. Use.

We have so called. I.

They have a bad God
and a white like a bear.

Sort of like our Indians over here.

I think so.

Tell me, Mr.

Utah, how come you're in such a hurry
to get to California?

I have a most important mission.

I am samurai warrior caste.

You understand?

The soldier or different?

I am.

I'm right. Elbow, please.

Another he my.

Or you're a sort of a
bodyguard for him, huh? Yes.

Bodyguard

with heedlessly.

I'm right. I must be loyal to.

He's a master
all the way through life or death.

So I'm what I eat though unable

to Emperor

and an emperor that the police.

Not at night in this country.

So I'm what I thought doing
pretty similar.

Oh, join him. You.

You just told me that he was dead.

Yes, he's dead.

Therefore,

I must

commit

harakiri

cure you.

What's that? What do you mean?

With the knife

you cut rope yourself.

Ohio artisan Ohio brings up.

Where is he?

We want to talk to it

more.

More and

study mankind.

You might.

Also some.

Oh, Mr.

Lane.

Good morning.

I did bear some.

You know, we got more in common,
we thought.

Yes, that's right.

You're in a hurry to get to the coast.

And so are we going
get snowed in in the mountains?

We got important business out there.

As your wagon
train moves all slowed and got a chance

to get in across the Rockies
before winter.

It feels slow.

So we were thinking of taking off
by ourselves.

We know a couple of shorter hours anyway.

So you'll get to California much sooner.

Over a couple of months. We figured.

We thought
maybe you'd like to come with us.

You out of town?

Well, you're a visitor in this country.

Anything we can do to help.

There's no hurry.

But Mr.

Adams said

Indians are a

big problem.

Oh, he's just an old woman.

You'll make it. Savages ain't no problem.

When you pull, it can be programed.

Well, I thought you was in a hurry.

But of course, if you're afraid.

Don't misunderstand.

No, afraid to fly Utah.

But they told you
the samurai must have returned to Nepal.

Most important, more important than life.

Even you understand?

We're giving you a chance
to get there in a hurry.

When do you read?

I don't know.

Tonight, Maybe tomorrow night.

Oh, so soon?

Where? Mr.

Blaine?

I must consider it.

Sure, sure. You do that.

That's probably your only chance. Come on.

Too many.

We wait.

Yeah, Yeah,

yeah.

Just like we figured Comanche.

Yeah,
but there are only ten or 12 of them.

What's the matter with that?

McCullough?

I didn't spot them and get word
back to us.

Well, he probably moved in behind him.

They won't hit the train, but Lord help us
if somebody falls out.

I was thinking the same thing.

An old friend of yours
is leading him through that.

Well, sharp knife himself.

Sharp knife.

Well, that's just fine.

You better pass the word back.

Nobody pulls out of line
for any reason whatsoever.

All right,

Now, darn that McCullough.

I don't know why he doesn't
check in with us once in a while.

Sharp knife.

Ain't no dummy, Major.
He won't have to train.

I'll just soon have a pack of wolves.

Finest as him, I'd rather. Let's go.

And your Boston friends.

I told you
they had some kind of idol in that box.

Sure enough, looks that way.

I heard about this Hindu idol
once had a ruby

because he had right between its eyes.

Don't have to be that big to satisfy me.

One this size of it
just fine when I didn't actually see it.

What's there? Don't worry.

See the way he was bringing that incense?

You're that gone? Oh, we'll get it.

You don't want me.

We were all tamagotchis.

Now we pull out.

You'll come along and we Near Fort Bliss.

Yeah.

Roaring at the Fort Platteville.

Tomorrow, maybe. Or the next day. Why?

The troops up north from here.

Your best bet for hotel them.

Oh, my. Only. What?

Only if there's Comanches out there
like they say.

I don't know.

Look, you don't get nothing.

Without some kind of risk.

Besides, there's four of us.

I'm all for hitting the Fort Platte drill.

Trouble with you.

Would you spend too long in the water?

Not long enough. An Indian country, maybe.

But I don't figure Indians to be.

No. Where is the Malay River pirates?

Besides,
I guess I'd run. More in Comanche.

You got to look in. That just is.

I will talk to him tomorrow.

What?

Know all need to

know more or

you know why

he would

look.

But I'll be don't

How are you with the mosquito.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, that's quite a toad.

Whatever you got there.

I'm going. I thought.

Very good. For what?

You people in Japan have any g*n?

Well, yes, they have the cannon.

Cannon?

What you call

musket.

I. I they said I'm a right g*n.

I myself, I like the real g*n.

Gives that safe feeling.

I say if you feeling.

That beetle real here to a bad day,
somebody here to work out with you.

Samurai works every day. Yes.

So I'd really like Indian

vessel.

You like rattling? Yeah. That's great.

Hop here. What about the whole company?
Why don't you, Bill?

Oh, Mr.

Hawkes, listen.

Well,
I used to be a pretty fair freestyle man.

Good.

It was true.

Mr. Ito, I think I'm a little big for you

all. Going exercise, doing good.

Take off from that blubber to Jolly.

We don't have any time for wrestling now.

Oh, it'll bolster it on.

Do wrestling

somehow always recruit scared of you
when you remember?

Well, maybe a couple of fastballs, huh?

Yeah. Good

point.

When I take inspiration,

I don't want to get hurt
because they don't

think I take it easy and.

I'm going to

get out.

You're doing something. Wrong.

Yeah. You know, I don't know

what.

You're still doing.

I know. I am trying to get out of here.

I thought you could do it.

Yeah.

Hold back.

You and your big ideas.

Oh. Oh, oh, oh.

You to think you're a little bit old
for playing these kind of games.

Major, if you think this is a game,
you can play it yourself next time.

I have not heard. No,

it does not feel like.

You will they? Better not.

Or you'll have a big
some high turnover, Mr..

You don't you little boys don't mind.

Would you go on and pass
the word that we're about to.

Move to play here.

Oh Mr.

Hope they blister again.

They're not sure.

But next time with Mr.

Wooster here, he's
more your size, Mr. Ito.

Oh, no. All

Mr. Hoke.

Nice man. Yeah.

Hello, Mr. Ito.

I've been thinking a little bit about
something you said to me the other night.

You told me that
when you go back to Japan,

they're going to force you
to k*ll yourself.

Because that prince of yours died
in this country.

Is that right?

Oh, no, Mr.

Adams.

Ito the samurai.

When Bruce died, he.

It almost died willingly.

And you really intend to k*ll yourself?

This is one.

Of the smartest, strange custom.

You do not understand.

You can get your boots.
I don't understand.

Or question the defendant,
but the man no different.

American

Nippon Ito.

Nippon Samurai.

Mr. Adams.

American Samurai.

American Samurai.

Truth.

Habana

of honesty.

Have a courage to die
in the patrol, to die for their country.

And that's the truth.

Well, I suppose so, in a way.

So customs different,

but men no different.

Well,
you better get your things loaded, Mr.

Ito. We're going to get more.

We've got them.

Mr. Blane asked me to go with him
to California.

It's much quicker.

He said he.

What is

he said Indian.

No trouble.

Excuse, but this train got to throw.

The snow may come before bargains
get to California.

So he's going to leave the train, huh?

Yeah.

We'll see about that.

No. Good to you.

Listen, Mr.

Ito, there's a Comanche w*r party
waiting out there for stragglers.

I don't give a gal darn what Lane does.

But you listen to me.

You stay with this train

plane.

Oh, Major, what's this
I hear about you leaving the train?

I guess that's my business and my beef.

You kept it to yourself.

What do you mean?

Trying to talk those two Japanese
into going with you?

That's what I mean.

Ain't nothing.

Says we can't take off for Fort Black
if we want to come along.

That's his business.

I don't know what your game is,
but you ought to have a better sense.

You leave this train
in this camp of yours,

We'll be hanging from some Comanche
Red Bull. What?

A couple of engines.

You do whatever you want to
you and your pal.

But Edo's not going with you.

You understand. That?

I'll leave it up
to. Him to leave it up to me.

He's never had any experience probably
handling people like you, but I have.

All right, Major, You tell him

anything you want, but he's in a mighty
big hurry to get to California.

We pull out.

He comes along
really much you. Can do about it.

Is it? I think there is.

A couple of thousand miles straight ahead.

Such a long distance.

Hey, so long as you hustle
and we're fixing to shove off tonight.

You're all set.

Tonight.

Hip hop Latin, two or three days.

These are going.

I'm sorry, I am not going with you.

What do you mean?

I must not take a chance.

What do you mean, take chances?

You're going to be no chances.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But Mr.

Adams says the Indians are a great danger.

Adams

Listen, don't listen to Adams.

You know your. Friend.

I want to help you get back to Japan.

I understand.

I'm grateful to you, but.

I thought you Japanese were fighters.

I never thought you'd be cowards.

Hollow,

scared, Afraid that if you scurvy
come back, you scare you on.

Do you think I am what.

I am For all the time I thought you were
serious about getting back to the coast.

I'm not going with you.

You know I was wrong about Japan.

I thought all your samurai were brave men.

I guess you ain't.

Taken no more.

Okay, Grandma.

Now stick close to Mother Adams.

Well, you'll be safe.

Well, he ain't coming.

Adams got to him.

I thought you said he do what
you told me he would have.

Adams kept his trap shot.

Might have known you'd be all right.

So he won't leave the train.
I don't mean nothing.

Yeah, We get that box
and I can get out of here just like that.

There's only two of you
big enough to give us trouble.

Yeah, but Adams made sure.

But Adams, we got to catch him first.

And we going to be easy to catch.
Willie, the wagon. Here.

We take just enough gear to get us on.

To Fort Platte.

US in that black boxes.

And we say, All right, let's go.

Wait a minute.

What you.

What is it, Bill?

I was one of those Japanese who came in
here, jumped on a horse and got out here.

I can only say it was real.

I couldn't tell which one
it was in the dark.

He dropped

Make your gone and saw the rest.

It looks like
they all took off in a hurry.

To get moderate up and bring my horse.

We got some cake.

This barn up?

I don't know.

I know, says k*lling the horses. Now.

Nobody going to follow us any further.

I want to get a
look at that fox. That right?

Hurry up, sailor.

All right,

Yeah, that's

That was all I'm surprised
you talk about. Now, wait a minute.

Nothing. Got some kind of jewels on.

Let's break it all.

I always had you figured it out, Blowhard.

If I tell you the g*n,

You and your big talk.

I sure there's nothing, but I just.

Our little Japanese friend.

You hold my job.

Give it back to me.

Here.

I'll give it to you.

Now you all will die.

it all much more than you could.

I think

it and India are more like.

Let's get out of here.

Call a moscow.

What do you do it for, Major?

I don't know, Bill.

I guess
some people have got different ideas

about what's right
and what's wrong and honor to Mary.

I know one thing, that if Edo hadn't been
the kind of a man he was,

the three of us had probably been
roasting on that slow fire back here.

The Indians, like they measure,
they let him go free.

Whereas golly, maybe old Sharp Knife
knew him a little bit better than we did.

I He knew that there was only one way
that you could go get yourself free.

That's the way you took.

Do you made it funny?

No, Charlie. It's not funny.

That's funny at all.
