You're spillin' your whiskey, mister.
|
Like I said, I...
|
What's your name?
|
Uh, William... uh... Hendershot.
|
Well, Mister Hendershot, if I was to call you a no good sonofabitch an' a liar, an' if I was to say you shit in your pants on account of a cowardly soul... well, I guess then, you would show me your pistol right quick an' shoot me dead, ain't that so?
|
I... I guess I might... but like I said, I ain't armed.
|
I guess you just carry it for snakes an' such.
|
Uh... yeah. Yeah.
|
There ain't no snakes in here, Mister Hendershot.
|
Well, uh... it ain't loaded.
|
He should have armed himself if he was gonna decorate his saloon with the body of my friend.
|
I guess you are ThreeFingered Jack out of Missouri, killer of women and children.
|
I have done that... killed women and children... I have killed most everything that walks or crawls an' now I have come to kill you, Little Bill, for what you done to Ned. Now step aside. boys.
|
I don't... deserve this... to die this way. I was... building a house.
|
"Deserve" don't mean shit, Little Bill.
|
I'll see you... in hell, you three fingered asshole.
|
Shut up, Alice. Little Bill, a whippin' ain't gonna settle this.
|
No?
|
This here's a lawful contract... betwixt me an' Delilah Fitzgerald, the cutwhore. Now I brung her clear from Boston, paid her expenses an' all, an' I got a contract which represents an investment of capital.
|
Property.
|
Damaged property. Like if I was to hamstring one of their cow ponies.
|
You figure nobody'll want to fuck her.
|
Hell no. Leastways, they won't pay to do it.
|
She could maybe clean up around the place or somethin', but nobody's gonna pay good money for a cutup whore.
|
You boys are off of the Spade Outfit. Got your own string of ponies?
|
Hit your finger, huh?
|
Huh? Hullo, Skinny. Snuck up on me. How do you like her?
|
Heard you done the roof yourself.
|
Roof? Jesus, Skinny, I done practically every damn thing myself. Roberts boy hauled wood, that's all.
|
What's all that wood?
|
Porch. I'm puttin' a porch on her so's I can puff my pipe of an evening an' drink my coffee an' watch the sun set.
|
Yeah?
|
Them whores, they been fuckin' an' fuckin' all them cowboys that come into town the last two weeks...
|
Shit, Skinny, we got railroad barons an' cattle barons, but you' re gonna be the first of the billiard barons.
|
...They been fuckin' 'em, 'an tellin' every bowlegged one of 'em how they're payin' a thousand dollars to whatever sonofabitch kills them two boys which cut up Delilah.
|
An' all them cowboys been riding that beef down to Kansas an' Cheyenne?
|
Yup.
|
All week?
|
I didn't hear nothin' till last night.
|
Word must have got all the way to Texas by now.
|
Oh, shit, Bill, I guess nobody's gonna come clear from Texas.
|
They really got all that money, them whores?
|
You know how women kin lie... I knock 'em around a little, ask 'em where the money is, they say they don't have none?... but they coulda squirreled away that much, the five of 'em. Maybe.
|
That much, huh?
|
You could run off them two cowboys.
|
I could run off them whores.
|
Well, I guess they'll just up an' run anyhow, them two.
|
Nope. They'll stay out on the Spade country where they got friends.
|
We got one of them fuckers, Sheriff, out by Cow Creek, we...
|
Alive?
|
Hell, yeah. A bunch of us Bar T boys went out lookin' on account of them killin' one of our own. We come across this fucker on a roan goin' South an'...
|
He admit it?
|
No... but I guess he will soon enough. Had a Spencer rifle on him an' he was...
|
Those cowboys messin' him up?
|
Uh... a little, maybe.
|
You an' Andy get the hell out there. Find out where them other two went.
|
Hullo, Bob. Boys, this here is English Bob.
|
Shit and fried eggs.
|
Been a long time, Bob. You run out of Chinamen?
|
Little Bill, I thought you were dead. I see you shaved off your chin whiskers.
|
Well, I was always tasting the soup two hours after I et it.
|
What I heard was that you fell off your horse drunk and broke your neck.
|
I heard that one myself, Bob. Hell, I even thought I was dead til I found out it was just I was in Nebraska. Who's your friend?
|
WW Beauchamp... Little Bill Daggett and... "friends."
|
Books. He's my biographer.
|
Oh.
|
Not really... Maybe a couple of Peacemakers... I imagine you could overlook those, eh, Bill? If you didn't see them... or hear them?
|
I guess not, Bob. I don't like guns around.
|
Charley, see what kind of "books" Mister Beauchamp is packing... but watch you don't get wet.
|
Be careful with those, sonny.
|
You leave me at the mercy of my enemies.
|
Enemies, Bob? You been talking about the Queen again? On Independence Day?
|
Mmmm pistols.
|
Oh yeah.
|
I thought... you was an angel.
|
You ain't dead.
|
Some big guy beat the shit out of me. I guess I must look a lot like you, huh?
|
You don't look nothin' like me, mister.
|
I didn't mean no offense. I guess you're the one them cowboys cut up. Ned an' The Kid, my partners, are they... ?
|
They went out scouting when they saw your fever broke.
|
Scouting?
|
On the Bar T... looking for... them.
|
Oh. How long I been here?
|
Three days. Are you hungry?
|
Three days? I must be.
|
I thought I was gone. See them birds? Most times I wouldn't even notice them birds much. But I'm noticin' 'em real good 'cause I thought I was dead.
|
I brought your hat. You... left it down at Greely's.
|
That big guy lookin' for me?
|
Are you really going to kill them?
|
Yeah, I guess. There's still a payment, ain't there?
|
Them other two, they been takin' advances on the payment.
|
Advances?
|
Free ones?
|
Alice an' Silky gave them... free ones.
|
Oh. Yeah.
|
You want... a free one.
|
Me? No. No, I guess not.
|
I didn't mean... with me. Alice and Silky, they'll give you one... if you want.
|
I... I guess not. I didn't mean I didn't want one 'cause of you bein' cut up. I didn't mean that.
|
You're a beautiful woman an'... if I was to want a free one, I guess I'd want you more than them others. It ain't... See... I can't have no free one on account of my wife...
