William Munny, yeah.
Same one as shot Charlie Pepper in Lake County?
You shot Charlie Pepper, didn't you? And you're the one killed William Harbey an' robbed the train over...
Hold on, mister. Son, this here pig gotta be moved outta this pen, away from them others. Penny, you give yer brother a hand...
You're Pete Sothow's nephew, huh? Hell, I thought maybe you was someone come to kill me... ...for somethin' I done in the old days.
I could of... easy.
Yeah, I guess so.
Like I was sayin' you don't look like no meaner than hell coldblooded damn killer.
Maybe I ain't.
Well, Uncle Pete said you was the goddamndest meanest sonofabitch ever lived an' if I ever wanted a partner for a killin', you was the worst one. Meanin' the best. On account of you're cold as snow an' don't have no weak nerve nor fear.
He said that, huh?
I'm a damn killer myself, only I ain't killed so many as you because of my youth. Schofield Kid, they call me.
Schofield? You from Schofield?
On account of my Schofield model Smith and Wesson pistol.
Oh.
Well, how about it?
About what?
Bein' my partner. I'm headin' North up around the Niobrara in Nebraska. Gonna kill a couple of no good cowboys.
What for?
For cuttin' up a lady. They cut up her face an' cut her eyes out, cut her ears off an' her tits too.
Jesus!
Thousand dollars of reward. Five hundred a piece.
I ain't like that no more, Kid. Whiskey done it as much as anythin' I guess. I ain't touched a drop in ten years. My wife, she cured me of it... cured me of drink an' wickedness.
Well... you don't look so prosperous. Hell, you could buy her a new dress out of your half. We could kill them two an' you could buy your wife one of them fancy...
She's passed on, Kid.
Huh?
Been gone near three years now.
Oh.
Don't tell nobody about the reward an' all. Don't need no other gunmen tryin' to collect.
I don't never see nobody anyhow.
If you was to change your mind, might be you could catch me... due West to the Western Trail an' North to Ogallala.
Well, we was. Like you said, I changed my mind an'...
Wasn't nothin' said about no partner.
Well, now Kid, there's two of these cowboys, ain't that so? Better there's three of us... maybe them cowboys got friends. Maybe...
I was gonna kill them two by myself. It don't take three.
Three ways, I figured.
No.
Sorry, Ned. Guess I wasted your time. See ya, Kid!
You're goin' back with him?
He's my partner. He don't go, I don't.
What the hell are you pissin' about, I'd like to know?
Huh?
Well, what were you lookin' at anyhow?
Lookin' at?
Now hold on, boys, hold on. Now, Kid, you kin see fifty yards, can't you?
Bet your ass I kin see fifty yards an' I kin shoot this sonofabitch...
Easy, Kid, easy. Now, you hear that, Ned? The Kid can see fifty yards fine, hear?
Say, Bill. That business in Jackson County... did that really happen? I mean how they say it happened?
What business?
An' how there was two deputies up close pointin' rifles at you... had you dead to rights... an' how you pulled out a pistol an' blew them both away to hell... an' only took a scratch yourself. Uncle Pete told me he never seen nothin' like it, shootin' your way out of a scrape like that.
Well... I don't recollect.
You don't recollect!
Get some sleep, Kid.
You boys are crotchety as a couple of hens.
Finish him, Ned.
He ain't dead? You didn't get him?
He got the boy's horse.
Did you kill him?
He's clear of the horse, Ned. Better get him.
What happened? He ain't dead? What's goin' on?
If he gets behind them rocks we ain't gonna get him... not without we go down there.
What rocks? Why don't you shoot? What's goin' on?
Shit!
What happened, did you hit him?
Better reload it.
You missed him? You didn't...?
I got him.
He ain't killed.
Maybe, maybe not. Got him in the gut, I think.
They takin' water?
Yeah.
When we gonna double back?
After a ways.
You're gonna lose your share. If you don't...
Shut up, Kid.
It's gonna get riper yet.
You still think he's in there?
Yeah, he's in there.
Well, he's holding on to his shit like it was money.
He's in there.
Tell me right off if you see him.
Yup.
You... you ain't gonna shoot him yourownself?
You can shoot him.
Is it him?
Yup.
Did... you... get... him?
Yeah.
Cover me, Kid, while I mount.
I can't see 'em.
Just SHOOT!
Yeah, I guess so.
Shit... I thought they was gonna get us. I was even... scared a little... just for a minute. Was you ever scared in them days?
Say, Bill...
Yeah.
That was... the first one.
First one what?
First one I ever killed.
Yeah?
How I said I shot five men... it wasn't true. That Mexican... the one that come at me with a knife... I busted his leg with a shovel... I didn't shoot him or nothin'.
