Report to Mr. Murdock He's shorthanded.

We're shorthanded, there isn't time to...

But as long as I'm so shorthanded, no.

We can't work shorthanded. I only have six men.

Fort was shorthanded due to the Apache raids up north.

Better to work shorthanded than with the wrong kind of man.

Usually, I don't work broncs, but we're a little shorthanded. This here's the roping' kid.
