Nellie Watson's Boy

I didn't say you were lying, Johnny. Only the truth often looks different, depending on our point of view. Have gone! Will travel! Starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin. San Francisco. 1875.

The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. Ah, an excellent breakfast, hey boy, my compliments to the chef. Oh, Esau, thank you very much. He's shown great improvement. The coffee is both black and hot.

The eggs, perfect. Oh, not the same chef improving, Mr. Paladin. New chef. Oh, hey boy. You. He saw Mr. Paladin say, only way to get things done right is do them yourself. Oh, hey boy, take advice.

Do breakfast himself. And with splendid results. Thank you, hey boy, my compliments to you. Now, if you'll clear these dishes away, I have some letters to answer, hey boy, and I wanna be left alone.

Oh, he saw me, Saffala. Mm, mama, mama, mama. Mama, mama, mama. Alone, hey boy. Mita. Alone, and in peace and quiet. Oh, oh, oh, he saw. I go, I leave peace and quiet. Oh, somebody at door.

Whoever it is, get rid of them, wouldn't you? Yes, sir. I wanna talk to Mr. Paladin. Oh, Mr. Paladin, say he not in. I gotta talk to him, it's important. Oh, sorry, Mr. Paladin, very busy.

Listen, tell him Nelly Watson's boy, Weston. Nelly, what? Hey boy. Yes? Let him in. But you say... I know what I said, now I say let him in. Oh, I'm most confusing. Please, do I end up?

Thank you. Are you Mr. Paladin? That's right. I'm Johnny. Nelly Watson's boy. Well, yes. Yes, I can see the resemblance. That's what Mother said to say. How is your mother? She's dead, Mr. Paladin. Oh, I'm sorry.
