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'll likely have to go to the smithy to get the shoes, but I can put them on if you have them.

Still got a couple'a pairs. [ Paid by a blacksmith after he shot the gun who took the smithy's daughter. ]

Ya still livin' in the same placce, doc?

That'll do.

I am. You goin' to bring the horse by?

Aye, I am. Boy's been wit' me for long, he needs some carin'.

How old is he now?

'leven or so. [ Pause. ]

Main problem's that he's baked through. [ He rode the horse too long. NOT COOKED IT. ]

Still got a few good years in him.

[Pause.] You might have ruined him, you know. How long did you ride him for?

Four hours or so. Two of those at a gallop. [ Pause. ] Rubbed 'im down after, though.

I'll have a look at him.

Thankya, Doc.

Not a problem.
