To all you new folks in town, I'm the veterinary surgeon here. I'll fix up your animals if needs be. For a price, of course.

[Town/old people filter]

Same cost for you folks. But don't be telling the new people if I change the prices for them. They're just passing through, you can't count on them for good business. So we've all got to do what we've got to do.

[New people/outlaws and ruffians]

I'll fix you up too, if you're willing to pay. Just don't be expecting prime doctor service and I won't be expecting doctorly prices. Just don't be asking my brother about those sorts of things if you see him in town. If you do that we'll all end up with lawmen involved.

I also have a few things stronger than drink if necessary. [In case some of you have a burning desire to use horse medication or something.]

You sure you didn't jus' leave it at a lick and a promise, doc?

I don't get no more business off a dead animal, Dawsey. You know that.

Yeah, yeah, reckon you're right an' I figure you already know I take my job mighty serious. It gets my back up when I lose animals afore I intend to let 'em go.

You're a good man, Dawsey. Good at what you do. I know you don't like to lose no stock unexpectedly, but sometimes it's just their way.
