What's this about the White Glove Society?

You got me my boy back. I got no words.
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
Now... I hope you didn't do no harm to whoever's responsible for this. I wanna skin their hides myself.

Neutral 50
|
You got a lot of nerve sticking around here. If I didn't have better things to do I'd thump your skull for what you said.

Tell me good news.

{To himself} Ted, where are you, boy?

Neutral 50
|
Beg your pardon, stranger, but I'm looking for someone. You ain't seen a young man with dark brown hair and a white hat on lately, have you?

You ain't heard anything about my boy, have you?

You done right by me. I appreciate it.

What in blazes? That's my son you're talking about! He ain't dead. I'm looking for him. {enraged. he's being arrested for his son's murder.}

Where's my son? What'd you do with my boy?

You can't do this to me! This is a mistake!

The hell I will.

| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic000
|
No, I haven't.
|
Sad 50
|
<Sighs> Ain't nobody got one darned piece of news about my boy? Not one lousy speck of information?
|
14
|
| Neutral 50
|
Ain't got one Brahmin unaccounted for across a dozen ranches, but I'm here for an hour and my own son just up and disappears on me.
|
15
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic002
|
<Lie> Yes, I saw him here in the hotel.
|
Neutral 50
|
What? Oh, my God! Where?
|
16
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic003
|
You lost your son?
|
Neutral 50
|
My boy, Ted. He was right here. I didn't leave him but a minute. I told him to stay put while I talked some things over with the White Glove folks.
|
17
|
| Neutral 50
|
He never was one to stay tied down to a spot, though. Gets that from his mother.
|
18
|
| Neutral 50
|
Got most of my staff out looking for him now. I'd be out myself, but I keep hoping he'll show up back here.
|
19
|
| Neutral 50
|
Course if he does that I'll whup him till his skinny hide turns to leather for putting me through this. But that don't mean I wouldn't be grateful.
|
20
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic004
|
So you're a rancher?
|
Neutral 50
|
Yep, got a whole mess of brahmins to my name. Bighorners, too.
|
21
|
| Neutral 50
|
Used to just have the one ranch, but land was easy to grab before the soldiers moved in.
|
22
|
| Neutral 50
|
Before I knew it I was running one of the biggest ranching operations east of California.
|
23
|
| Neutral 50
|
Now everywhere I go, folks I never even met shake my hand and call me "Mr. Gunderson." Don't know quite what to make of that.
|
24
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic005
|
Did you say something about a white glove?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's what they call themselves, the folk that run this place. They're the ones dressed all fancy with their bowties and shiny dresses.
|
25
|
| Neutral 50
|
Some of 'em got masks, too. Real hard to trust folks like that. Couple of them show their faces and that's who I do my business with.
|
26
|
| Neutral 50
|
I don't talk to none of the other ones.
|
27
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic006
|
What business did you have here at the hotel?
|
Neutral 50
|
That's between me and the White Glove Society.
|
28
|
| Neutral 50
|
But let's just say they control the food supply around here, and I got lots of food to give, but that ain't as welcome as you might think.
|
29
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic007
|
Let me help find your son.
|
Neutral 50
|
I'd be more than happy to have you. Heck, I'll hire anybody with a pair of legs and at least one good eye at this point.
|
30
|
| Neutral 50
|
There'd be a lot of money in it for you if you can get him back to me safe.
|
31
|
| Neutral 50
|
And if he ain't, you can bet I'll pay for the names of the sons of bitches responsible.
|
32
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic009
|
He's over in the bathhouse, wearing a skimpy two-piece bathing suit.
|
Anger 75
|
What in Creation is the matter with you? Ain't you ever been a parent? Ain't you ever been worried you lost someone?
|
33
|
| Anger 75
|
You got a real sick sense of humor.
|
34
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic010
|
Sorry. I didn't realize the situation was so serious.
|
Neutral 50
|
You're dead right it's serious. I ain't seen my son in hours. Don't know where he went.
|
35
|
| Neutral 50
|
Folks round here, some of 'em would kill you soon as look at you. His whole life I tried to keep him at the ranch, away from places like this.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
Now I take him here and what happens?
|
37
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic012
|
<Lie> I don't know who took him. I just found him.
|
Neutral 50
|
Confound it! I just don't know how I'm supposed to sleep knowing whoever done this got away.
|
38
|
| <Lie> I don't know who took him. I just found him.
|
Neutral 50
|
All right. Well, I promised you I'd make it worth your while, so here you are.
|
39
|
| Neutral 50
|
Try not to lose it all at the same casino.
|
40
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic013
|
You can blame the White Glove Society. They're all cannibals.
|
Neutral 50
|
Well that does it! None of them maniacs will ever do business with Heck Gunderson long as they live.
|
41
|
| Neutral 50
|
Hell, I'll put me together a damn blockade. Hit 'em where it hurts.
|
42
|
| Neutral 50
|
They control the food? Well there ain't gonna be no food. Not for anybody in this whole damn town.
|
43
|
| Neutral 50
|
It's a goddamned monument to inhumanity. Let 'em starve. Biggest favor anyone's ever done this hellhole.
|
44
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic014
|
Your son is confused. He doesn't know what he's saying.
|
Neutral 50
|
You better be right. Cause I got me a mind to wipe this town off the map if some of the folks running it are to blame.
|
45
|
| Neutral 50
|
Well who did this, if it wasn't the White Gloves?
|
46
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic015
|
Let's not be hasty. You don't have to punish the entire Strip.
|
Neutral 50
|
The heck I don't! It's their support that gives these bastards power.
|
47
|
| Let's not be hasty. You don't have to punish the entire Strip.
|
Neutral 50
|
They all oughtta suffer for what they done. I just won't be satisfied with anything less. Wouldn't be enough.
|
48
|
| Neutral 50
|
My mind's made up on this. I'm cutting off the food supply to the Strip. They gotta learn their lesson the hard way, looks like.
|
49
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic016
|
That's just what they'd want. You'd be driving the city to eat each other.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] I don't like this place. Whole Strip, really. Ever since I got here, the stink of it... it's flooded my nostrils.
|
50
|
| Neutral 50
|
But you got a point. They're already hell-bent on depravity here. All I'd be doing is helping them along.
|
51
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic017
|
That sounds like a fantastic idea.
|
Neutral 50
|
Sometimes I got me so many ideas, it's a wonder they don't all just burst outta my head.
|
52
|
| Neutral 50
|
This town's headed to perdition anyway. I'm just giving them a little push.
|
53
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic018
|
But, but, but... that's so unfair. You should only punish the man who did it.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] No, that ain't enough. It ain't just him. It's this hotel. It's the whole damn Strip, and everybody who takes their money here.
|
54
|
| Neutral 50
|
I sensed it when I got here. This place is evil, pure and simple. Everyone did their part. Ted getting taken was just a symptom of the disease.
|
55
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic020
|
Why is your bodyguard allowed to have a gun?
|
Neutral 50
|
Made me a special arrangement with the hotel. They want to do business with me, they got to play by my rules.
|
56
|
| Neutral 50
|
Lot of people out there resent success, might wanna take a swipe at me. This makes them think twice.
|
57
|
| Neutral 50
|
If I'd have been thinking, though, I'd have had him watching my boy instead. Then none of this would've happened.
|
58
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic021
|
Ted's been kidnapped. He's here in the hotel.
|
Neutral 50
|
He's here? Bless you, I thought he was a goner for sure.
|
59
|
| Neutral 50
|
Listen, you do what you gotta do to find him. I'd send my men with you but I'm worried they'd kill Ted if we got close.
|
60
|
| Neutral 50
|
Reckon you might need one of these. Take it. Just don't wave it around here where they might take it from you.
|
61
|
| VMS18VMS18HeckGundersonTopic022
|
Ted's dead.
|
Neutral 50
|
{Breaking - his son died} Confound it. I knew I shoulda stayed with him. Ted, I'm so sorry, boy.
|
62
|
| Neutral 50
|
I demand to know who did this!
