04:00Oh, good morning, mister.
04:03Good morning to you, sir.
04:05Well, what can I do for you?
04:07I made a date for today with Bram Bolton.
04:10Why, he's out of town.
04:13Yes, I know. He's been to Butte.
04:15What? You know it, too?
04:18Well, according to our mutual friend over there,
04:21he'll be in late this afternoon.
04:27So it's you.
04:29Seven notches, huh?
04:32There were only six when our trails crossed last.
04:36There's room for just one more.
04:38Then I'm gonna have to break in a new gun.
04:41One shot fired recently.
04:44That last shot fills out your dead man's tally.
04:48I'll bet it was fired at somebody, probably in the back.
04:52It, uh, that shot was only funnin'.
04:55It had to do with, uh, not being a good shot.
04:59It had to do with the name and of his poison.
05:03From a holster with a hole in the bottom
05:05to beat any square shooter's draw, huh?
05:20You talk mighty big against an empty holster, mister.
05:24I suppose now you'll talk even bigger against my empty gun.
05:27I did my talking and acting two years ago
05:29when we put you away in the Pecos County Jail.
05:31And I did my talking when I swore that when my time was up,
05:35no county would be big enough to hold us both.
05:38My throat's kind of dry,
05:41but I reckon I can postpone my drinking
05:44until you get a reload.
05:45But I'm a-bettin' that you won't show.
05:47I'm gonna take that bet.
05:52I'll call your hand at 4 o'clock.
05:55If you do show up at 4 o'clock,
05:57I'm making another bet that you won't show alone.
06:00According to your second bet, I can show up anyhow I please.
06:04Gents, I'm figuring that you all heard this date.
06:08Meet on the level according to rules.
06:10I expect things to stay that way when I get back at 4 o'clock.
06:14I wish I had reasons to throw an honest gun on you
06:16between now and 4 o'clock.
06:18But a shootin' date's a shootin' date
06:20along this whole frontier.
06:23That's all there is to it.
06:27When you've finished your heavy drinking,
06:29I'd like to have some straight talk with you down in my office.
06:32That's another date, Sheriff.
06:37Stranger, my name's Stoner.
06:40My friends call me Stack.
06:41Howdy.
06:42Stack here is a real confidential
06:44sidekick of Ben Bolton's, ain't ya?
06:46Yeah.
06:47Well, stranger, I was just wonderin'
06:49where you aimed all that lead?
06:51Well, it's a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a.
06:55I was just wonderin' where you aimed all that lead
06:57you threw from that sidewinder six-shooter.
06:59Well.
07:00Heh, heh, heh.
07:04Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:07The judge that came in and turned around
07:09and went right out again made it convenient for me
07:11to aim that lead at that, uh, girl's picture there.
07:14Well, I've gotta see this.
07:16Come on, fellas.
07:22Sound the shootin'.
07:24Ahem, gents, may I inquire
07:26what your sudden interest is in that poster?
07:28Our sudden interest is in a gent
07:30who ain't advertised on that there bill.
07:32A gent who was plenty fast at makin' a shootin' date.
07:35Why, did all that there decoratin'
07:37from inside the bar.
07:40Well, I swore.
07:41And who, might I ask, is this sure shootin' gent?
07:44Don't know.
07:45Stranger to us.
07:46Also, the guy that he made the shootin' date with.
07:50All right.
07:51Hey, stranger.
07:52I thought I'd seen shootin' before.
07:54But up to now, I ain't seen nothin' yet.
07:57Well, the drinks are on the house, gent.
07:59No, sir, I say the drinks are on the towel.
08:01Fine.
08:02Mister, as mayor of Sundance,
08:04I know we'd all profit by learnin'
08:06what drink steadies your trigger finger.
08:08Now, you just name it, and we'll all have the same.
08:10That's right.
08:11Oh, why, that's fine.
08:13Well, milk's my drink.
08:15Nice fresh milk in a tall glass
08:17with a couple of sips.
08:19Tall glass with a couple of spoons
08:21full of sugar added into it.
08:23Milk!
08:24I'm in the wrong place.
08:26Let me out of here.
08:27Let me out of the wrong place.
08:28Let me get out of here.
08:29Well, I said we'd all have the same,
08:32and we will, so help me.
08:34Oh, my name ain't Smith.
08:35Noah Smith.
08:36Spell with the Y.
08:38Milk?
08:39Yes, fresh milk.
08:40Yeah, that's what I thought you said, milk.
08:45I love the wide open spaces
08:48the prairie flowers I smell.
08:53Now, what rhymes with I smell?
08:55I smell.
08:56I smell.
08:59I smell.
09:00You're tellin' me.
09:02Unless my good eyes deceive me,
09:04that was the Mesquite Kid.
09:06Up to no good in a hurry.
09:08My good intellect suggests
09:10that he may have something to do
09:12with Crash Corrigan's contrarian notion
09:14to come to Sundance.
09:15Well, from the hurry the kid's in,
09:17your intellect seems to be better than usual.
09:19I'm afraid so.
09:20I'm afraid so.
09:21I'm afraid so.
09:22I'm afraid so.
09:23I'm afraid so.
09:24I'm afraid so.
09:25I'm afraid so.
09:26I'm afraid so.
09:27I'm afraid so.
09:28I'm afraid so.
09:29I'm afraid so.
09:30His intellect seems to be better than usual.
09:32Go on, Tech.
09:42You're headin' in the wrong direction, kid.
09:44I thought I told you to meet me in Sundance today.
09:46I've been there, Bolton.
09:48And I'll be there again at four o'clock
09:50with a good gunman,
09:51to help me shut up a Gabby Gent for good.
09:54Who is this Gabby Gent?
09:56Well, up to four o'clock,
09:58he'll answer to the name of Corrigan,
09:59he won't be here and good luck kid.
10:02I'll just be cow kicked if I ain't too many cones and goings here.
10:29Why don't you tie a string around that thing?
11:00Glad to see you.
11:01And am I glad to see you, sir.
11:03How dare you celebrate your coming to our town by making a shooting date with a gunman and a stranger to boot?
11:09Tibb Tolliver, how dare you insinuate that I'm celebrating and I don't know what I'm talking about. Besides, he's no stranger to me.
11:16That was the mesquite kid.
11:18No.
11:19Yeah, and you know what happened down on the Pecos.
11:22Yeah, I've heard about that.
11:24You wouldn't be any good to me pushing up Sage and Boothill Cemetery.
11:30Say, it ain't no hop, skip and a jump from the Pecos here.
11:38What brought the mesquite kid here?
11:40I reckon it wasn't an accident that our visits to Sundance coincide.
11:45He's keeping a date with Brian Bolton, providing he's healthy enough after keeping his date with me.
11:52No.
11:53You see, I'm keeping a date with Brian Bolton, too.
11:56Are you inferring you didn't get a letter from me suggesting that you packed the marshal's badge of our county?
12:01Oh, not at all, Jed.
12:03But I would have said no with thanks if Bolton hadn't made me the same proposition.
12:08That's funny.
12:11Nobody knew about me inviting you here except the Citizens Committee, of which, for good reason, Brian Bolton ain't a member.
12:19Well, that's funny.
12:20He came around hankering to know if I'd had word from you.
12:23When I assured him I hadn't, well, he just sort of loosened up.
12:27Bolton ain't got no say-so about the hiring of the marshal.
12:31Well, after I went to Butte and found your letter, I got to wondering about that.
12:38Pretty soon I got so curious I made a date with Bolton.
12:42I wonder how the mesquite kid ties in.
12:46He came here asking for Bolton.
12:49Oh, I see.
12:51He's been hired to rub you out.
12:54That's why I forced him in a shooting date, to make him face my gun now so I wouldn't get shot in the back later.
13:00That makes sense, son.
13:02Bolton isn't expecting me until day after tomorrow.
13:06But I tailed him, and he's due here today.
13:09Well, it's beginning to add up.
13:12Well, it looks like I'll be wearing the old blue coat again.
13:15Well, what's the coat got to do with it?
13:18Whenever I'm to face bullets, I always put it on,
13:22feeling a dime more comfortable with it wrapped around me.
13:26There's another old galoot in this town who's just about of the same notion,
13:32though the coat he favors is gray.
13:37It took men of your breed, Jed, to build and mold this good old west.
13:42That's right.
13:43And it's going to take the sons of the blue and the gray to hold it.
14:07Come on, Tech!
14:24Reckon old Tech sort of ran away with me, alibi.
14:27That stage kind of scared him.
14:29That's another kind of an alibi.
14:31If he wasn't just plain tired, I reckon there must have been a gal in it.
14:35Oh, now, you wrong me, alibi, and me with a sick heart,
14:38because that schoolteacher turned pickle on me down there in Deadwood.
15:01Come on.
15:31Come on.
16:02Get out of here, Hank!
16:04There's going to be a shooting day right here, pronto!
16:07Get up!
16:19Howdy.
16:20Miss Meadows, I presume?
16:21Why, yes, but who are you, Dr. Livingston?
16:25Well, not exactly, but I sure hope I'm what the good doctor ordered, Miss Meadows.
16:30Well, unfortunately, I've never felt better in my life.
16:36The, uh, hotel isn't receiving any guests at the moment,
16:39but I'll be back for you and your baggage in about ten minutes, I hope.
16:43Mister, I offer you the hand, the honest hand of Noah Smith.
16:48I know, with a Y.
16:50Yes, thanks for reminding me.
16:52And, sir, I lend you my best wishes.
16:55Well, thanks for the loan.
17:01He's keeping that shooting date.
17:05I'll have the usual.
17:19Help yourself, Hank.
18:00Let's go.
18:17What's holding you up?
18:24Your sidekick just kept a shooting date with the mesquite kid.
18:27Yeah, it was on the level.
18:30Well, let's go.
19:00Let's go.
19:17The hotel's receiving guests again, ma'am.
19:19Dans, the mayor and the citizens' committee know that I and a friend of mine
19:23named Corrigan to pack the marshal's badge of our town.
19:26I reckon you've just seen a sample of his qualifications.
19:30From what I saw, he certainly deserves the job.
19:33And his friends, Mr. Dusty King, Mr. Alibi Terrell,
19:37have trailed him here to help him.
19:39Jed, I got a little social job to take care of,
19:42and I reckon I won't be needing any help.
19:44In the meantime, you take care of my partners there
19:46so they won't get into trouble.
19:48Ma'am, you come along with me where you won't be molested
19:51by people that you haven't even met.
19:54Well, just a minute there, Corrigan.
19:56Well, just a minute there, Corrigan.
19:58I swore I'd get hung by our citizens' committee,
20:01unless I swore you in as marshal right now.
20:03Yeah, I think he's right.
20:06Congratulations, Crash.
20:08That's mighty, mighty fine, and you sure deserve it.
20:11And while you're thanking the folks at Sundance properly,
20:13why, I'll just show Miss Meadows to her room
20:15so she won't be further annoyed, you know.
20:19Miss Meadows?
20:21An old man seems to come to Sundance too, Marshal.
20:34What's the matter? Is the heat too much for you?
20:36Yeah, sort of.
20:44Chief, fellas, am I late?
20:46Nope. In fact, you came a little too soon.
20:48We were just leaving.
20:49Oh, yeah? You stay away from town and may...
20:52I mean, Miss Meadows.
20:53Oh, so that's why you got Alibi and me out here
20:56in this blistering heat,
20:57after me doing what I did to be kind to the lady.
21:00Kind, my eye.
21:02You know, you took unfair advantage of me.
21:04Now, listen, if you think that I'm gonna sweat out here
21:06on this Bozeman Trail while you settle your gal troubles,
21:08you're just plain loco.
21:10Now, what are we here for?
21:11All right, Alibi, don't get excited.
21:13The sheriff's worried about a wagon without any markings on it.
21:16Doing Sundance is forenoon.
21:18No markings?
21:19No.
21:20That suggests plenty of undercover work.
21:21Yeah, what's it bringing?
21:22Two riders in the strong box.
21:24The trail it's taking is secret.
21:26But I know it's doing the valley beyond that ridge.
21:29Oh, well, if so, what's holding us up?
21:31I wonder what would happen if the secret wasn't kept.
21:35Christ, you've got a mighty suspicious nature.
21:38I reckon you boys better track that Bozeman Trail
21:41until I meet you later for further orders.
21:43Where will you be?
21:45I'll scout the upper trail
21:46while the sheriff takes care of the valley.
21:48All right, Grish.
22:14Let's go.
22:44Let's go.

26:09Well, it's Fargo.
26:11Yeah.
26:17Well, that's Crash's horse.
26:18I heard you just got back to town last night.
26:21You're still celebrating the goings-on.
26:23I heard about it, and I'm willing to pay the bill.
26:26Well, I was just suggesting we drink a toast to the new marshal.
26:29That suits me right down to the ground,
26:32seeing as he treated me so friendly up in Guteway.
26:35No.
26:37Well, I'll bet you were just dying to greet him.
26:43Good morning, General.
26:46Good morning, gentlemen.
26:48Good morning, and the same to you, ma'am.
26:50My name is Bolton, Brand Bolton.
26:53If I'd have known you were going to be here so soon,
26:55nothing would have kept me in Gute.
26:57The best in the house is yours.
26:59Thank you, Mr. Bolton.
27:00I reckon the Range Busters contrived a welcome for the young lady
27:03that you couldn't match, Brand.
27:05I heard about that.
27:07We're aiming to drink to the boys.
27:09I know they'd be pleased if they knew you'd joined us.
27:12I appreciate your sentiment, gentlemen.
27:14I'll remember them when I drink my coffee.
27:16If you'll excuse me now, I'm going to my breakfast.
27:19The marshal must have had his before sun-up.
27:22He's been riding since then, ma'am, on some chore for the sheriff.
27:26And we're all hoping that he's born luckier than his predecessors.
27:30I sincerely hope so.
27:32Good day, gentlemen.
27:34Good day.
27:35Good day.
27:37Nanny poison, boys.
27:39Milk.
27:41Come on.
27:42Come on.
28:11Oh.
28:12Oh.
28:13Oh.
28:14Oh.
28:15Oh.
28:16Oh.
28:17Oh.
28:18Oh.
28:19Oh.
28:20Oh.
28:21Oh.
28:22Oh.
28:23Oh.
28:24Oh.
28:25Oh.
28:26Oh.
28:27Oh.
28:28Oh.
28:29Oh.
28:30Oh.
28:31Oh.
28:32Oh.
28:33Oh.
28:34Oh.
28:35Oh.
28:36Oh.
28:37Oh.
28:38Oh.
28:39Oh.
28:41Oh.
28:42Oh.
28:43Oh.
28:51I thought I told you not to show your skouface and sun dance.
28:55Well, that ain't friendly, Brian.
28:57Nobody's friendly to me anymore.
29:05Well, if anybody saw you come here,
29:09you'll wish that a knife that put that scar on your face
29:11had stopped your ticker.
29:13Ah, nobody saw me, Bram.
29:15I come from the rocks behind Boot Hill.
29:17And I passed a hill full of dead marshals, too.
29:20I did.
29:22Listen, Maverick, you boys take orders from me.
29:25I take them, too.
29:27But if the gentle gives me my orders,
29:29saw you or knew that you left the rocks,
29:32that'd be an extra big hole in Boot Hill Cemetery,
29:35and I'd get it.
29:39Supposing the fellow that's wearing the new marshal's badge
29:43keeps that hole that's a-waiting for him empty.
29:46Ah, then what?
29:48How do you know that's a new marshal?
29:51Didn't the boys go on a chore this morning, Bram?
29:54A chore that I ain't shared, man.
29:57Ah, that ain't friendly, Bram.
29:59That's how come I hear it.
30:02Have an eye opener.
30:16Gold dust, 50 ounces even.
30:19That's the price I'm putting on the new marshal's badge.
30:23Ah, it might take a gent resembling you to find out
30:28Ah, it might take a gent resembling you to collect it.
30:33You mean it took a gent like me to collect it.
30:38Wait a minute.
30:40Before you get the dust, I got to know how you got the badge.
30:43All right.
30:45Before I give you the dust, you've
30:46got to promise to move out of the state and stay out.
30:49Oh, you can depend on them, Alfred, Bram.
30:56Now, remember, if you're seen in here after high noon,
31:00you can't get out.
31:02You're not going to get out of here alive.
31:04Get out.
31:05Now remember, if you're seen in here after high noon,
31:10your lover will trade that dust for some hot lead.
31:13Oh, Brian, now that ain't friendly.
31:16It ain't.
31:35Now who do you suppose that is?
31:37Why ask me?
31:39I'm as much of a stranger hereabouts as you are.
31:41Might pay to trail him, though.
31:43Not till we find Crash.

33:28Oh, hello, Joe.
33:29Hello, Joe.
33:55No.
33:56I thought she was dead.
33:58I saw you riding out of Sundance to the sheriff's.
34:02Then... then I found your... your badge.
34:06I thought you was dead.
34:08Just why do you think I'm not?
34:11Maybe you saw me blowing all to pieces...
34:15when a wagon exploded.
34:18Whoa!
34:24Oh! Oh!
34:26You're dead!
34:28Stand back! Hold everything!
34:30Uh... ghost! Hang a ghost!
34:48Oh!
35:18Crash! What happened?
35:21Hey, alibi!
35:30Here, give him a little of this.
35:33Crash!
35:40Oh!
35:42Oh!
35:44Oh!
35:46Oh!
35:58Oh, so it's you trying to break in my lockup.
36:01Got another galoot for your jail, Sheriff.
36:03Well, bring him in. We got plenty of room.
36:08I thought you was dead.
36:11Well, you can see for yourself, Sheriff.
36:13Your reports are greatly exaggerated.
36:22This looks like the mine payroll that was coming in on that wagon.
36:25It is.
36:27Besides you boys, only the mayor, the express agent, and myself...
36:31knew how and when this was coming.
36:34When I'm sure that none of us did any squealing.
36:39Well, there's the last statement, Brad.
36:42I'll keep that.
36:44Miss Meadows, having had a previous engagement,
36:48I was unable to see that you wouldn't be lonesome for supper.
36:51I'd admire offering my company for the rest of the evening being I'm free.
36:55Thank you, Mr. Bolton, but I wasn't lonesome.
36:58And I enjoy my evening walk alone.
37:00But in the meantime, I have something I'd like to show you in my office.
37:13Won't you sit down?
37:15No, thank you.
37:18Seeing as you were right friendly with the new marshal, rest his soul,
37:22I thought maybe you'd like to own his badge.
37:29It would make a Jim Dandy souvenir for you to remember him by.
37:34I appreciate your giving me this, Mr. Bolton.
37:37But I'd hardly be able to do it myself.
37:40Thank you, Mr. Bolton.
37:42But I'd hardly call it a Jim Dandy souvenir.
37:45Where did you get it?
37:47Well, like everyone else in town, I took a ride along Custer Canyon
37:50and found it near the rim in the dirt.
37:53Good night.
37:59My coat got caught on a wagon stage just as I jumped.
38:02And I rolled over and over and lit kaplunk in a bog.
38:06Dead? I'm sure glad you found my horse.
38:09The whole town's mourning you as dead.
38:12Not even your store left a plant on Boot Hill.
38:15Well, as long as they think I'm dead, I reckon I'll stay that way.
38:20Makes our job a little easier.
38:23Shh.
38:35Good evening, Mr. Talbot.
38:37Well, good evening, Miss Meadows. Won't you come in?
38:40Take a chair.
38:45It may interest your ghost to know that I'm taking good care of Miss Meadows
38:48while you're a-mouldering here in your grave.
38:51Ain't you forgetting about being forgotten but a galley can't forget?
38:54We're a long way from Deadwood.
39:04Mr. Talbot, Mr. Bolton gave me this as a souvenir.
39:10Why, this is the badge at the Marshall War.
39:12Yes, I know.
39:14Mr. Bolton said he found it while he was riding along Custer Canyon.
39:17It occurred to me that he should have given it to you.
39:20I just thought you might like to know.
39:22You thought right, ma'am.
39:26You were very close to the Marshall, weren't you?
39:28Well, a little too close for comfort, ma'am, sometimes.
39:32I can't understand your saying that. He seems like a very nice fellow.
39:36Well, it seemed as right, ma'am.
39:38But he was the sort that kind of grew on you, only like Moss.
39:41No.
39:42Yes.
39:43What was wrong with him?
39:44Well, he seemed to always be having delusions.
39:47You know, one day he'd be Daniel Boone, a-chasing dogs and alley cats.
39:50And the next day he'd be Casanova, a-chasing women.
39:53No.
39:54Yeah.
39:56I suppose he's better off, poor soul.
39:58Yes, I think it's better for all concerned.
40:03Mr. Tolliver, I'm very fond of riding.
40:05Could you arrange for a horse for me tomorrow?
40:07Why, sure.
40:08Why, ma'am, I'm just about to ride in the Thonbury you ever did see.
40:11And I know that there was a horse just born for you.
40:13Well, I'd like to try him.
40:15Uh, for the time being, ma'am, uh, I wish you'd forget all about this badge.
40:20I won't say a word to another soul, Mr. Tolliver.
40:23Good night.
40:24Good night.
40:25Good night.
40:34You heard what she said?
40:35Yep.
40:36I also heard a false friend two-tonguing me.
40:39The fellow who had the payroll said he found my badge.
40:42That's how come.
40:43He thought I was dead.
40:44Then Bolton lied to her.
40:46But the badge links Bolton and the thief.
40:48Tell me, what did the fellow who had the payroll look like?
40:52Well, he was big and overgrown, and he had a big scar on the side of his face
40:57and acted like he wasn't all there.
40:59Why, I know.
41:00It was that half-loco maverick.
41:03If the two express riders who disappeared turn up dead,
41:06this badge will help hang Bram Bolton.
41:09Well, I figure they weren't cahoots.
41:11I'm going to have to make a trip to Butte to find out.
41:14I'm going to bed down one of your cells tonight.
41:17That coffee made me kind of sleepy.
41:19Good night, pal.
41:22Good night.
41:24Son, I'm going to depend on you to keep Bram Bolton in sight.
41:28Oh, but you heard me promise to go riding with Mae Meadows, Sheriff.
41:31It's all right.
41:32I'll see that Miss Meadows has a good horse, son.
41:35And son, I'll see that she gets to ride it.
41:42Goodbye.
41:53Stop that door.
42:02It's been a long time since you've been to my office, Chief.
42:05Yeah.
42:10to be the last one.
42:12Bolton, you bungled everything that you framed up in Butte.
42:17I admit I shouldn't have cracked the cargain about him
42:19packing the star in Sundance, but everything's
42:22going to be all right, Chief.
42:24Yes, when the boys took care of the wagon,
42:26they also took good care of cargain.
42:31But they forgot to take care of the strong box.
42:34There was only a dried puddle of blood where the guard stood.
42:38And the loot is gone from the locks.
42:40Then we've been double-crossed.
42:43Don't say so.
42:44Spread the word.
42:46I want everybody at the hideout enough later
42:48than this time tomorrow.
42:50The Maverick won't be in that lineup, Chief.
42:53I've already ordered him to leave the state.
42:56I heard even how that half-wit outsmarted you.
43:00He won't get the second chance.
43:04Have him trailed.
43:05And that badge he used to codeck you with is poison now.
43:10Take my advice, and don't let it get out of your sight.
43:35I'm curious to know who's going to teach who about riding.
44:03Son, ain't you ashamed of such low insinuations?
44:06No, I wasn't insinuating.
44:09Well, I thought you was.
44:11And you thought you wasn't.
44:12So, son, it must have been a mutual mistake.
44:16I hope it rains.
44:22Well, it's a nice morning we're having.
44:24I'm glad somebody thinks so.
44:34Well, I should have those rocks.
44:36All right, wait till I count three.
44:38One, two, three, go.
44:40OK.
45:04Morning, ma'am.
45:05Good morning.
45:07What happened?
45:08Nothing that can't be amended, ma'am,
45:10after you and me do a little trading.
45:13What kind of trading?
45:15Well, I'm just hankering for a certain badge, ma'am.
45:19What badge?
45:20Oh, come now, ma'am.
45:22I'm just naturally a little sentimental,
45:24and I'd admire having a certain marshal's badge.
45:27I'm just a little sentimental, ma'am.
45:30Well, I'm sorry, but I don't know what became of it.
45:33Well, in that case, ma'am, you'll
45:35just naturally have to put up with my company
45:37until your memory improves.
45:40Ah, so it's you again.
45:42Yeah, darn if it isn't.
45:45You know, if you're telling me, what's
45:47on your mind outside that hat?
45:49Oh, there's nothing on my mind but a brand-new hat.
45:52Well, I'm just a little sentimental, ma'am,
45:54and I'd admire having a certain badge.
45:56Well, in that case, ma'am, you'll
45:58just naturally have to put up with my company
46:00until your memory improves.
46:10Well, that's a new song I'm trying to write.
46:12Say, how are you on poetry?
46:14Well, that's not one of my many talents,
46:16but I'm glad I was wrong about you tailing me.
46:19Oh, forget it.
46:20Say, here's something that'll hand you a laugh.
46:23I thought you were tailing me.
46:25Me?
46:26No!
46:27Ha, ha, ha!
46:57a.
47:27You need
47:38lessons in telling Mr you lied about not telling me I was just evading the truth I'll
47:43get on your horrors.
47:44The
47:55king I believe it's against the principle of
47:57a race bus of the shooter jet in the back so I'm riding the town alone why you get
48:01off that horse not me. But there's nothing to stop me from dragging you off.
48:05Well
48:14I'll be.
48:26You'll be needing what's in that back if the lady in there takes too long and
48:30refreshing our memory.
48:35The.
48:51Only hoodlums like you a shoot a man in the back. Now Mr I'm offering you
48:56a rate not me they're going to get me there and I can fight and I'll take it with
49:01my bare hands.
49:31The.
49:32The.
49:33The.
49:34The.
50:00Now Mr drop that gun.
50:04All right you ask for it.
50:19I'll get going don't take any more chances on my principles because dead or alive
50:24Mr I'm taking you in. Trouble him
50:29over he drank too much. Who you're talking to Elmer.
50:44Yes sir and that's bad for
50:45a shoot not. Can he talk he's nothing but
50:51a wooden doll maybe yes maybe no but anyhow I spoke words of wisdom I guess I
50:56wasted your breath on it. Oh yeah yeah.
51:02Well it takes more than
51:04a bottle or two or both to interfere with my shoot and I had gone by the way met
51:10and dead would have had the same notion but when he's bluff was called I was right
51:15and who just call that gunfighters bluff I did oh yeah yeah.
51:21And just how did you call his bluff I said that he had done didn't hold
51:27a slug to make my head spin around and just how could I slide from a gun do that
51:33like clipping me on the chain. Stick out your jaw
51:39and why you go there and sit down on that bank and get out of the way OK.
51:51OK I'm here and I'm ready to shoot.
51:57Your man I was right. Good shoot and don't make. Right right if you're
52:04a game for another shot I'm just going to show you that you are wrong OK William
52:11tell I'm game.
52:13You. Are just close I said on
52:19a chain.
52:25Alibi is gone empty. For once the right is right.
52:34That's all I want to know.
52:35That. The moment that is we're trapped.
52:43You've got company to say you're brand new I know I'm dead. Yes and again no.
52:56I thought you was dead I'm
52:57a liar this goes that you ever did see. Their hand off at the mine this morning
53:02brand. I don't know what you're talking about get the glue to double crossed you
53:09boys was the same that gave you this yep that's my bad you're all right.
53:18I tell you just I don't know what you're talking about.
53:25What you come in please.
53:26You. The maverick
53:33I was said that double crosses should be hanged and so should you but there's
53:38a chance for you to save your neck by coming clean.
53:45What do you want me to do I tell you the place ain't healthy anymore why I was
53:50ganged up on and had to empty my six you don't know the fight and I'm it's going
53:54to know what this is all about too but here we stay until brand tells us different
53:59all good you won't have long to wait well what happened to you I was in
54:04an accident since you've been taking orders from me. I'm presenting the chief who
54:09tells me what to tell you. The mayor when no what there's been
54:16a double cross and nobody is safe here until I find out who the double cross
54:21race he won't show up here I found out who he was and the sheriff's probably got
54:28them they're paying off at the mine right now the maverick hijacked
54:33a strong box why didn't you tell me this and Sundance because we told him not to
54:39I I thought you was dead we had
54:43a hunch it would be you thanks brand and now you want to know that it wasn't
54:47the maverick that did this really he fell over
54:50a cliff and was killed before he could say more than I thought you was dead it was
54:54the marshal's badge that brand gave to me meadows that did the squealing you are.
55:02I mean this matters.
55:08The smart boys don't grow up just to get the hardware.
55:21And.
55:28Having satisfied my curiosity I reckon we'd better be going to boys you mean you
55:32boys are leaving Sundance just as soon as we get these numbers back in town and
55:37behind prison bars. And I won't be needing this badge anymore.
55:44Aren't you too forgetting that this badge was given to me.
55:48I was just polishing it up for you a man to remember me by it will remind me if you
55:53please of the three of you.
56:01We all be seeing you folks.
