The Too, Too Solid Town

Why not reopen the case? It won't give you back the five years you lost, but it might give you back the most important thing in your life. Have gone! Will travel! Starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin.

San Francisco. 1875. The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. Yes, come in. Mr. Paladin, I... You look so beautiful, or dress up in Sogit suit.

Wow. Thank you, Miss Wong. I don't wish to see him in modest, but not too many years ago, I was considered quite a dashing young officer. Oh, yes, sir. Where you go, I'll dress up like that.

Oh, just trying on my old uniform, Miss Wong. My old cavalry company has been invited to take part in a dedication ceremony in Lawrence, Kansas. I'm planning to go. Dedication ceremony? How do you mean Mr. Paladin?

Oh, well, there'll be a parade, a military band, speeches, a lot of wild stories swapped among the boys who haven't seen each other in a long time, and then they plan to unveil a statue of Ulysses Grant in the public square.

Mr. President of the United States Grant? Yeah, he was a splendid commander. I'm proud to have served under him. Mr. Paladin, I've met you prettiest soldier in Hola. Oh, not this one. Oh, my. That's my cue.

Oh, here I'll pick it up, Miss Wong. Ooh. Ooh. What's the money, Mr. Pilate? Yeah, it just occurred to me that maybe I'd better have Hey Boy take these trousers to the tailor and see if he can let out the waistband and inch or so.

Oh, trouser, shrink, Miss Pilate. Uh, well, yes, perhaps that's it. You know, folks, a good, thick, barbecued steak on your table is Make on your table is the finest compliment you can pay your guests.
