[Roy is watching Chon attempt to saddle his horse. The horse keeps pulling the saddle blanket off before Chon can get the saddle on]
Roy O'Bannon:
Well, best of luck to you. Guess this is what your people call "sayanora." Looks like Fido's giving you some problems there. You want me to, uh, give you a hand?
Chon Wang:
No, I can do it.
Roy O'Bannon:
*Sure* you can. H-How is a greenhorn like you gonna make it to Carson City and rescue this princess?
["Fido" pulls the saddle blanket off again. Roy sighs]
Roy O'Bannon:
Stop, stop, stop, stop. I can't take it any more. Watch me do it.
[He takes the saddle blanket]
Roy O'Bannon:
You get it like this and you put it up high
[demonstrates]
Roy O'Bannon:
. See, it'll drift back when you're riding.
[pause]
Roy O'Bannon:
All right, I'll do it.
Chon Wang:
Do what?
Roy O'Bannon:
Take you to Carson City, help you rescue Princess Pee Pee.
Chon Wang:
Pei Pei! You do not care about the princess.
Roy O'Bannon:
You don't know me very well, do you? Tell you one thing: I hate to think of an innocent member of Chinese nobility suffering, I'll tell you that.
[pause]
Roy O'Bannon:
You people believe in Karma over there, right? Well I've been thinking... there must be a reason why we keep running into each other. Now I've ridden with some terrible men, just people I couldn't trust, but when I look at you, there's something different about you. And I can see it, I can see it in your eyes. It's what the Indians call... chipichawa.
Chon Wang:
What's that?
Roy O'Bannon:
Chipichawa is nobility. And you have it, in spades. You got yourself a partner, and this has nothing to do with gold, okay?
[Spits in his hand and offers it to Chon]
Roy O'Bannon:
Shake on it.
Chon Wang:
Why are you spitting in your hand?
Roy O'Bannon:
Well, it's, uh, customary to seal the deal. Come on, let's go
[Chon spits into Roy's hand]
Roy O'Bannon:
. No, you -
[wipes of his hand on his shirt]
Roy O'Bannon:
this is going to be a long journey.
