Now let's have a drink.
Right here in church?
Communion.
We're moving you tomorrow.
But I like the presidential suite.
Oh, it's a similar room. But the hotel is in Washington D.C. You're not going to get a fair trial down here, in front of a jury of Jesse James sympathizers.
So I'll get a fair trial in front of a jury bought off by Thaddeus Rains?
That's the idea.
Did you order our houses burned down?
Not that day. I am guilty of many things, but that was Mr. Thaddeus Rains and Parker, that day.
You almost ended my career before it began.
Pity.
How did you spot the ambush in Torrell?
Last February?
Mmm.
You had all those cattle there, so I'd think the extra men were in town from the cattle drive?
Yes?
The cows had a brand from a farm just five miles out of town.
Damn.
Almost got me in Billings. I saw you there, shooting at me.
I went myself to oversee the operation. Didn't help much.
No, that one was close. A couple fellas quit after that one.
Oh. That's nice to know. We're going to hang you, you know.
I figured.
Was it worth it?
Should have just killed Thaddeus Rains and been done with it.
That's what I would have done.
I'm not hanged yet.
You cocky little bastard.
Ahh, you'll miss me.
No, I'll hang you. But I may miss you just a bit.
That was for my Ma. Now this is for everybody else.
He's too important, James. They'll set the army on you. You and your wife.
The railroad has no business in Tennessee. Therefore I have no interest in the state of Tennessee.
Thanks.
I'd just as soon kill you, Jesse James. But chasing you takes up too much of my time.
Fair enough.
Zerelda? Little Zee Mimms?
You were little Jesse James when you left.
But you got big!
But still died.
If there's anything we can do for you, Dr. Mimms. We want to help.
Jesse, are you awake?
Mmmm.
Jesse, is that your hand?
Nuhhuh ...
You shouldn't be up.
I've been on my back two weeks. I'm sick of it.
You're sick of my company?
No! I mean, of course not. No.
Teasing you is completely unfair.
What you do to me is unfair. The teasing, I mean.
I shouldn't tease a hero.
What?
Everybody in the county knows it was you who rescued Cole. We're all so proud of you, Jesse. And not a single farm's been sold to the railroad since. You're everybody's hero.
I wasn't the only one risking my neck that day.
So you're saying I should leave you alone and go spend time with Jimmy Younger?
Unfair. You are completely unfair.
I used to come to this tree when I was a kid and imagine what my life would be like when I got older.
You didn't want to farm?
I was thinking more along the lines of being a river pirate.
A river pirate.
Arr. Hand over your jewels, Missy.
Thank God you grew out of that. You did grow out of that, didn't you?
Mostly. It would be an all right life, for a bachelor.
You planning on being a bachelor your whole life, Jesse James?
Not if I find the right girl.
And what's this right girl like?
Smart. Funny. Bossy. Always makes me think she's two steps ahead of me. And big buck teeth.
Where will you find such a girl?
Honestly, you'd do if only you had the buck teeth.
Ahem. "From this doctrine..." No, ah... "From women's eyes this doctrine I derive, they sparkle still like ... shiny... sparkling rocks..."
Sparkling rocks?
Little ones.
Is this one of Frank's Shakespeare poems you're trying to quote?
Yep.
Were you planning on kissing me when you finished quoting?
I've been planning on kissin' you for a very long time.
I am so sorry, Jesse.
Frank and me have to go away for a while.
You and I, we've started... something, you know? I don't know what'll happen if you do this.
Me neither.
Let the law
Laws don't touch men like Thaddeus Rains. Only justice does.
Whose justice? Yours or God's? When will you stop?
When my name makes them cry in their sleep. When I've brought them to ashes.
Zee.
Jesse. What are you thinking? There are bounty hunters and lawmen all over this county!
I had to see you. I'm getting married.
I don't understand.
She's the most wonderful woman in the world. Can't get her out of my mind.
That's... wonderful. It's just... I thought...
She's beautiful. Smart. And has the biggest... buck teeth in all of Missouri.
I would never have imagined us in a place like this.
That's why I picked it. We can start a whole new life down here.
Are you going to be happy here, Mr. James? Without all that excitement?
I've got you. You keep me busy. I figure we'll get over to the hotel... get checked in, cleaned up... then I'd like to do something I've been thinking about for a long time.
Now wait a minute. There are certain things that have to wait until after the wedding.
Hmm.
"Hmm" what?
