Lone Ranger and Silver are riding through the desert. Suddenly they are surrounded by Indians. The Indians captured the Lone Ranger and told him he was to be executed at dawn. "But", the Ranger says, "I have always been a friend to the Indian." The Chief acknowledged that, but protocol you know, so execution it was to be. "Fine" said the Ranger, "But could I at least say goodbye to my horse?" Lone Ranger goes to Silver, strokes his nose and pulls his head close to whisper in his ear.
When he let's go, Silver runs off into the desert.
Later, as the sun is setting and the Ranger has been tied to the obligatory post, Silver returns pulling a wagon full of saloon girls along with barrels of whiskey, even a piano and piano player. The Indians have a raucous party: dancing with the women, drinking the whiskey and singing until the sun comes up. As the sun breaks the horizon, the chief goes to the Ranger and says, "Great party, Ranger. You indeed are a true friend and brave man to do that on your last night, but unfortunately we still have to kill you"
The Ranger says, "Fine, but can I talk to the horse one more time? "
The Ranger walks over to Silver, jerks his ear down and says
"Posse, you idiot. I said go back to town and bring back the posse! "
