"Jesse James was a lad who killed many a man" "He robbed the Glendale train" "He took from the rich and give to the poor" "He'd a heart and a hand and a brain" "That alarm bell's something new." "They must have stayed up all night trying to figure out a way to discourage us." "Sorry I dropped the money." " Forget it." " How's it look?" "Clean through." "You know what they say." "When you save a man's life, you... assume his responsibilities." "There's only a hundred dollars on my head." "That isn't much when you say it fast." "We got a long ways to go." "Think you can hang on?" " Sure." "Where we going'?" " Home." "It isn't I'm not charitable... but Bob Ford's all healed now and able to get." "Says in the paper they're selling a handsome cuspidor secured by a screw to " "He just spells trouble, him and his brother Charlie." "Why don't they leave you alone?" "You got out of the wrong side of the bed all week, Zee." "I am not been to bed since you carried Bob in here with a bullet in his back." "He's a good boy." "Been riding' with me for a length of time." "Been living here for a length of time too." "Six months." "I don't mind your brother Frank, but them Fords." "You've been a devoted wife, Zee." "And I don't say that you speak falsely." "I promise." "Right after the " "What is it, Jess?" "I only see one rider." "Charlie Ford." "You can look at that map now if you want to." "I spoke my piece." "What's ailing her?" "That's funny." "I wonder what happened." "Why didn't Frank ride in with you?" "He stayed behind to study the roads we'll have to use." "We picked a good bank in Dodge City." "The four of us can handle it without any trouble." " No alarm bells this time." " When are we to meet him?" "Eleven days from today." "The bank'll be fat." "He'll be here." "The west bank of the Arkansas River, couple of miles from Wichita." "Thought you might be hungry." "Thanks, Zee." "May as well sit." "We're gonna eat." "I stopped by in town to find out what was new." "Guess who's there, Bob." "Your girl." "Cynthy?" " In St. Joe?" " Yeah." "Still play acting too." "At the Opera House." "Had a show last night, I was told." " If you're recognized, Bob " " They don't know us in St. Joe, Mr. Howard." "Watch out for Marshal Craig." "And don't get into a gunfight." "That's not my intention." "You love Cynthy, don't ya?" "Since I was old enough to crawl." "Then why don't you marry her and settle down and buy land?" "You're a farmer at heart." "We all are." "By the way, Cynthy, there's a very good friend of mine - a gentleman - well, someone I know - and he's seen the show every night this week." " He says " " We only opened last night." "Yeah." "So" " So we did." "Well, maybe he saw the rehearsals." "Anyhow, he's most anxious to see you." "And he says..." "Veronica, will you make up some more of that sugar and water?" "I didn't like the stuff Harry fixed." "Well, look." "He's a very important man." "He's the... silver king ofColorado or something." "And he - he feel " "Harry, how could you expect anyone to back our show if they've seen it?" "Well, he's very fond of heartwarming dramas." " Oh, thanks." "Oh, a little more water, please." " Now look." "How would it be if I brought him here sometime this week?" " If you like." " Maybe... tomorrow." "Or tonight." "Or..." "Just a minute." " Mr. Kelley." " Yes." "Mr. Kelley, this is Miss Waters." "Veronica." " How do you do, Miss Waters?" " Mr. Kelley." "Well, what do you favor?" "Light opera?" "Heavy opera." "Maybe heartwarming dramas." " Well, that " " Don't forget Lily Langtry." "Of course." "Lily Langtry." "Oh, please, Cynthy..." "Miss Waters, Mr. Kane, you don't know this... but I've seen a lot of your shows." " I saw you in Joplin." " Maybe Kansas City?" " Oh, yes, yes." "Kansas City." "Jefferson City too?" " Yes." "Jefferson City too." "Yes." " That's fine." "Seen lots of your shows." "All bad." "But don't let that bother you, Miss Waters." "I'm sure it wasn't your fault or Mr. Kane's." "Just bad plays." "But I'd like to talk to you a little more." "Maybe I could see you after the show?" "Mr. Kelley, if you're gonna put a nickel in this show, you'll lose it." "We don't make money." "Cynthy." " What is it, Veronica?" " It's Mr. Miller." "He's outside." "Hello, Harry." "They want you outside, Harry." "Cynthia." "Mr. Kelley." "Mr. Miller." " Hello, Miller." " Hi." " Are you a member of the company here?" " No." "My business is prospecting." "What, in here?" "I like Miss Waters's acting very much." "Do you have a match, Mr. Miller?" "Yeah." "Miss Waters, don't be worried about me losing any money in your show." "I don't have any." "But I'd still like to talk to you again." "Cynthy Waters." "If you'd listened to me three years ago... we could have been married." "You're a good farmer." "Farmer." "After the next bank " "And what if lead poisoning sets in first?" "When I marry, it won't be to a man on the run." "But, Cynthy, I " "Look at Jesse's wife." "Last time I saw her hiding out in a mountain cabin, she looked 50 instead of30." "I don't want that kind ofa life." "Maybe " "Maybe you don't feel for me the way she feels about Jess." "I'm still in Missouri." "Bob." "Yeah." "When you're free, I'll marry you." "All right." "I'm leaving theJames Gang for good." "I know Mr. Meredith." "He" " He's the prosecuting attorney ofJackson County." "Tell him." "Tell him I'm... gonna be a farmer." "You've been gone long enough to get 10 pardons." "What did Meredith say?" "Pumped Cynthy livid trying to find out where I'm hiding." "Said ifl gave myself up, he'd see I only got 20 years." "Twenty years." "Think they may have followed you back from St. Louis?" "No." " Where's Jess?" " Took Zee and the kids to church." "Did Meredith tell her what the governor just came out with?" "Everybody in St. Joe's been talkin' about it." " Don't seem to worry Jess none." " What?" "Amnesty for any of the gang who turns in Jess, dead or alive." " Amnesty?" " Yeah." "Act of pardon." "Means if you're on the run and you turn in Jess, you're free." " No time in jail?" " Not even a day." "Means you could walk down the street and nobody'd bother you." "Yeah." "It means just that." "Means I could get married." "Yeah. $10,000 goes with that, dead or alive." "Means we could buy a farm." "Nobody could take Jess alive." "That'd be suicide." "She wouldn't have to tear up old wheat sacks to make herself a pair of drawers." " Bob, what are you " " I'm... thinking of Cynthy." "What about Frank James?" "What'd you do that for?" "Meaning I'm afraid of Frank?" "Ain'tya?" "Sure." "Ifl want to think I'm afraid or say I'm afraid..." "I'll think it and I'll say it." "Nothing gonna stop me from marrying Cynthy." "Nothin'." "Hey, Bob." "Bob." "Hey, hurry up, Bob." "That's wonderful." "That's more like it." "It's nice and warm now." "Be back in a minute." " Bob." " Yeah?" "Pick up that blanket, will ya?" "It's a Colt.45. Improvedpattern." "Silver-mounted, pearl handle." "It's beautiful." "It's loaded." "Sure." "When I give a present, I like to make it complete." "Well, go ahead, Bob." "What are you waitin' for?" "There's my back." "Here." "Scrub it." "Hey, Bob." "I'm goin' to town." "I'll see you in the mornin'." "What are you doin' poking' around out there, Bob?" "Come on in." "Let's talk." "It's kind of lonesome without Frank around." "It ain't lawful." "Even folks in town what don't like Jesse James is sayin' it ain't lawful." "Don't you fret about it, Zee." "It's just as if the governor was advertisin' to hire an assassin to go and kill you unawares." "I ain't killed yet, Zee." "I pick my friends, and I know 'em." "No friend of mine would swallow that immunity offered by the governor." "Ain't that " "What are you so nervous for?" "Did Cynthy turn you down?" "Yeah." "Kind" " Kinda." "Think I'll go in to St. Joe and buy a new horse." "You can fetch the children home from school with ya." "Yeah." "I'll do that, Zee." "I'm tired." "I guess maybe Zee's right." "Tiime Isettleddown." "That's what you ought to do, Bob." "Get yourself a wife and a home." "That's what I'm aimin' to do, Jess." "It's only 11:00." "Think I'll wait until later this afternoon and go in town." "It's an awful hot day." "Feel kind of naked without my weapons." "No, sir." "Nothin' like putterin' around a home." "There's no 10,000." "The governor didn't conspire with you to assassinate Jesse." "The reward was $5,000 for his apprehension." "Five for conviction." "All you get is 500." "Bob, you ought to see the way folks look at me when I walk down the street." "You ought to see 'em, Bob." " That $10,000?" " 500." " What happened to the rest of it?" " What's the difference?" "I got enough to buy Cynthy a ring - a diamond ring." "A great big one." " You can be best man." " Oh, not me." "I'm not hanging around waiting for a ball from Frank James's gun... or buckshot from some of the folks what don't like what happened to Jess." " Scared?" " He'll get you, Bob." "He'll get both of us." "I'm ridin' out." "Stake me, Bob?" " Here's a hundred." " Thanks, Bob." " Watch yourself." " Yeah." "I still got enough to buy Cynthy a big diamond ring." "Miss Waters." "Miss Waters." "I beg your pardon." "It's Kelley." "John Kelley." "I was talking to the manager, Mr. Kane." "He told me you changed your mind." "You're not going to leave the show." "I'm glad to hear it." "There's something troubling you, Miss Waters." "Can't I help?" "I'm" "living at the North Hotel if there's anything I can do to help." "John Kelley, North Hotel." "Cynthy." "Cynthy." " What's the matter?" " How could you have done it?" "Jesse, your best friend." "How, Bob?" "How?" " I didn't do it for the reward." " I know, I know, I know!" "." "Then why are you looking at me like I'm poison?" "Can't you understand what's happened?" "You got me kind of all mixed up." "When you pulled that trigger, all the love I had for you..." " But I done it for you." " Don't say that!" "Don't ever say that!" " But it's true, Cynthy." " Can't you see how wrong it was?" " It was legal." " It was murder." "Don't look at it that way." "You ought to be proud of me." "The governor's grateful." "The law says it's legal." "Don't look at it no otherway." "What otherway can I look at it?" "Cynthia." "I ain't on the run no more." "I can walk down the street, and nobody - not even the whole militia - can bother me." "That's what the shooting means to you?" "What it means to me - It means I'm a free man." "Ain't that what you wanted, Cynthy?" "Ain't it?" "'Tweren't easy shooting Jess." "It weren't easy." "But there's nothin' I wouldn't do to have you." "Nothin'." "Your wedding' ring." "I can't." " Cynthy!" " You're hurting me." "What do you think you're doing to me?" "Listen, Cynthy." "When I killed Jess, I had a cause." "If you turn against me, I got no reason." "The way you did it, Bob." "Oh, can't you understand?" "The love I had for you was..." "No, it ain't that." "Something else has turned you from me." "I ain't a murderer." "So there's gotta be a reason." "Kelley!" "That's who it is!" "Kelley!" "You're talkin' crazy." "What was he doin' here when I came in?" "Did you see him much when I was in jail?" " Stop it!" " I knew there had to be a reason." "I knew." "Bob, you're wrong about Kelley!" "He's got nothin'to do with us!" "Come in." "You've got to leave St. Joe at once - right away." " I have to what?" " Bob Ford's gonna kill you." "Yeah?" "Why?" "Because he thinks we're in love." " Oh, he does?" " Yes." " How does he know?" " There's no time to waste." "You've got to leave." "Is that..." "Is that an order?" "Oh, it's a fact that'll save your life." " Or his?" " Oh, please, Mr. Kelley." "Just a minute, Miss Waters." "We hardly know each other." "Up to now..." " There's no time to " " You're not giving me any chance to get to know ya." "You barge in here and tell me I have to run away... just because that hotheaded Ford says we're lovers." " Don't make sense." " His guns do." "Yeah." "That does give him quite an edge." " He's dangerous." " Why?" "Because he killed his best friend?" "Look, I'm telling you to go because I don't want any more bloodshed." " He's jealous and..." " Was Jesse James in love with you too?" " It was for the amnesty." " And not the reward." " He wanted to be free to marry me." " Look." "We're wasting time." "He's on his way up here now looking for you." "I don't think he'll shoot unless I turn my back." "He killed Jesse James because of me." "He didn't want money." "He wantedme." "Just as ifl pulled that trigger myself." "And now he thinks we're lovers." "Oh, don't you see, Mr. Kelley?" "I don't want any more murders because of me." "Please help me." "I'm sorry." "I didn't understand." "Then you'll go at once?" "Right now?" "Do you love him?" "Yes." "I don't believe you." "You couldn't love him." "I don't like what I'm doing, but... if it's what you want, it's good enough for me." "Come on." "Eight." " Ten." " All right." "There goes another four bits." "So you really know the whole clan?" "All of them." "The mother of the Dalton boys was Adelaide Younger... half sister of the Younger brothers, cousins of the James boys." "Six." "Nine." " So they're all kind of related." "Just one big family." "Cole and Jim and Bob and John Younger and..." "Grat and Emmett Dalton and Frank and Jess... and Jim Reed and Belle Starr and their son." "Four." "Eight." "You're just having a run of bad luck." "Yeah." "would you mind letting me look at that 45 now?" "You know... this gun'll probably end up in a museum someday." "Not while I'm alive to tote it." "Uh, curtain'll go up at the usual time." "You better hurry up." "I mean, take your time." "I'll see you later." "I'll be around." "Been waitin' for you, Cynthy." "I'm sorry for what I said." "I was wrong about Kelley." "He checked out of town." "You ain't sore, are you?" "No." "You know, I've been thinkin' about us, and... it's wrong for us to get married now." "I know what you were trying to tell me without hurting my feelings." " Do you, Bob?" " Sure." "It ain't right for a man... to get married ifhe ain't got enough money to take care ofhis wife." "So I got myselfa job." " On a farm?" " No." "Well, whatever it is, I'm proud of you." "Well, I hope you feel that way when I tell you what it is." "Do you want me to guess?" "I'm gonna be... a performer." "And I'm going to rideJumbo in Barnum Circus in New York." "Mr. Kane and I talked it over." "I'm going to be what he called a - a special added attraction." "Well?" "Well, every night I'm gonna " "I'm gonna show folks how I shot Jess." "No." "That's what I aim to do." "Have you lost your mind?" "How can you put yourself up..." "like a freak?" " Peoplewill pay" " I don't care about people." "I'm talking about you" " Bob Ford." "How do you feel about it?" "You mean you're going to use Jesse as a..." "Oh, Bob!" "What's the difference?" "He's dead." "I gotta make money so we can get married, and farming' will take too long." "I don't regret what I done, 'cause it was to have you." "I don't regret what I aim to do... 'cause the whole thing's kind of tied up in one big reason." "I can't stomach you using Jesse's ghost." "You're right about that, Cynthy." "Look, I ain't much good with words, but... seems to me that real honest love is like ghosts... which everybody hears about and few people see." "Well, I see it, I feel it and I got it." "If that can't make you see what's driving me on, nothin' can." "I just want a chance to prove I ain't no murderer... traitor or assassin." "It's a hot day." "Think I'll dust off some of these pictures." "Blank." "A wandering' minstrel man I am" "I sing my songs in trade" "And in the course oftravelin'" "My fortune I have made" "If I sing a lilting' air" "To any purty miss" "Even though she may be shy" "She pays mewith a kiss" "Now in this room I feel an urge" "To tell you what I think" "If someone pays the cost I'll trade" "A ballad "fer" a drink" "Give him a drink." "I just blew into town." "I can use a drink, mister." "I'll sing you one everybody likes." "A song everybody likes." "Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man." "He robbed the Glendale train" "He took from the rich and give to the poor" "He'd a heart and a hand and a brain" "Young Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life" "Three children, they were brave" "But the dirty little coward what shot Mr. Howard" "Has laid Jesse dead in his grave" "'Cause it was Robert Ford the dirty little cow..." "Anything wrong, mister?" "I'm Robert Ford." "I'm sorry, Mr. Ford." "I didn't know." "So everybody likes it?" "Oh, nobody likes it very much, Mr. Ford." "Go on." "Sing it." " Oh, please, Mr. Ford." " I wanna hear it." "'Cause it was Robert Ford the dirty little cow..." " I can't." " Sing it." "'Cause it was Robert Ford the dirty little coward" "Wonder how he feels" "He ate of Jesse's bread and slept in Jesse's bed" "Then he laid Jesse dead in his grave" "Jesse James sat at home on a Saturday night." "Talkin' to his family brave" "Robert Ford come around like a th-thief in the night." "And laid Jesse dead in his grave" "No man you ever saw on the side of the law" "Could take Jesse dead or alive" "'Twas his friend Robert Ford who collected that reward" "By shooting' Jesse James on the sly." "Young Jesse had a wife who mourned for his life" "Three children, they were brave" "But the... dirty little coward what shot Mr. Howard" "Has laid Jesse dead" "In his grave" "Don't shoot." "Don't shoot." "Don't shoot." "I'm outta bullets." "Why pick me for target practice?" "You shot Jesse James." "Anybody would shoot you becomes the biggest gunman in the country." "Silver!" "Silver!" "Silver!" "Colorado!" "Creede, Colorado!" "Silver!" "Silver!" "Colorado!" "Creede, Colorado!" "I wanted to find you." "You've got to get out of town." "I overheard some men talking." "You're the target for every gun-happy man around here." "They think killing you will make them famous." "It isn't safe for you here anymore." " It'll be the same wherever I go." " You could change your name." "No." "I'm not gonna do what Jesse did." "But you can't go on like this." "Every minute, I expect someone to shoot you." "So do I." "What are we gonna do, Bob?" "Well, there's a silver strike in Colorado." " Maybe ifl go there, I might " " Please." "No." "I'm not gonna change my name." " I didn't mean that." " What did you mean?" "It's about us." "Cynthy, it might take a short time." "It might take long." "If I strike it rich, I'll send for you." " But, Bob, I " " I'm leavin' tonight." "Howdy, mister." "Howdy." "My horse is beat." " Brush him off." " I'll do that." " Feed him too." " I'll feed him." "You got a clean stall for my horse?" "Why, sure." "You look like you could use a clean stall yourself." "Where do I find one?" "There's not a room in the whole town, mister." "Unless you can talk yourself into one down at the Silver King... and that's down the street to the left." "You can't miss it." "It's a sure thing." "It's worth a million." " If I could just start right along this " " Sorry, Lucky." "Nobody'll grubstake you on that piece of ground." "Well, could you loan me a half-dollar?" "No." "You owe too much already." " How about a room?" " Filled up." "Unless you want the bridal suite - a hundred dollars a night." "Say, how'd you like to sell that ring?" "I got a little more than $40." "How about that room?" "Well, we're doubling up." "If you can get the fella here in 124 to share his with you... it'll be $10 for the night." " Where is it?" " Upstairs to the right." "It's open." "Hey, I know you." "You're..." "You're Kelley." " Hi, Miller." " I got no place to sleep." "You mind if I share your room?" "It's big enough." "Help yourself." " How are things in St. Joe?" " Quiet." "Guess everybody and his brother's in town." "Yeah, that's the way these booms are." "It's lucky it's this time ofyear." "No snow on the ground." "Makes it easier to find the veins." " This your first crack at it?" " Yeah." "Gonna find it pretty rough, Miller." "There's a lot of old-timers here know every rock and hole in Colorado." "Well, before I share your room, I oughta tell you my name ain't Miller." "That's none of my business." "I ain't ashamed ofit." "It's Ford" " Robert Ford." "How about the room?" "It's still big enough." "You... through with this?" "No." "Leave it there." "Beating madly" "I love you" "The boys have been talking about you again, Mr. Kelley." " Everybody likes you, and..." " No chance." "It's good-payin' money." "They'd make you marshal in five minutes." "I've been kickin' around too long to hang up in one place." "Is that what you want, ending' up like most of these broken-down sourdoughs?" "I got no reason to stick around this town." "Sure wish you'd change your mind." "All the storekeepers think highly of you." "Joe, all peacemakers are targets." "That's not for me." " What have you got to eat?" " Sweet corn, cornmeal mush... cornpone with cracklings and corn whiskey." "I'll have it." "Beautifrul dreamer" "Wake unto me" " Say, I..." " You remember Cynthy Waters?" "Yeah, I remember." "I'm gonna bring her back a mountain of money." "Is that what she wants?" "We're gonna get married when I strike it." "Beautifrul dreamer" "Queen of my song" "List while I woo thee" "With soft melody" " Gone are the cares of..." " That's what Cynthy used to sing to me." "Life's busy throng" "Beautiful dreamer awake unto me" "Beautiful dreamer" "Awake unto me" "Yahoo!" "I made it!" "Kelley!" "Kelley, my lad, I made it." "Look at it." "A ton'll carry $200." "Be careful now, Soapy." "Be careful." "Don't let anybody know where." "You're drunk." "Sure, I'm drunk." "Come on." "Let's all get drunk." " Right, Soapy." " A jug of your best for my friend Soapy." " Those men with him, do you know them?" " Nope." "Looks like they're gonna strike it rich tonight too." "A man gets that drunk, it's his own neck." "Whiskey." "All you gotta do is sign, Soapy, and we give you 500 in cash." " Sign what?" " We're buyin' your rights for 500." " In cash." " Remember?" "Sure, sure, sure." "Come on, Soapy." "I'm gonna take you home." "Go on, Kelley!" "Give it to him!" "Attaboy!" "I don't mind you pullin' a gun on a man when he ain't got one." "That's his own fault." "Anything can happen to a man when he ain't got his guns." "That old drunk there, if you want his mine... why don't you shoot him and take it?" "I don't like a man going around the back way and pulling a sneak." "Kelley, you're great." "Come on, Soapy." "I'm gonna take you home." "Yahoo!" "Yahoo!" " Where's Kelley?" " He got up early." " Where'd he go?" " He checked out." " Where's Kelley?" " Nobody tells anybody where they're workin' a claim." "I ain't anybody!" " He stole my ring." " Kelley wouldn't." "He checked out." "Bring me some coffee." "Heard what you did for me last night, Mr. Ford... and I wanna tell you it was decent of you." "And you're wrong about Kelley." " I think maybe " " Who asked you to think?" "You're here to make a strike, ain't you?" "You got a piece of ground?" "Ever do any prospecting'?" "You know, for an old man, you ask a lot of questions." "Yeah, I guess you're right." "Everybody wants to live long, but nobody wants to be old." "I'm old and a little tired." "Well, I just left a bed." "You can have it." "No, I mean tired ofworkin' my mine." "I was thinkin', maybe " "Look, you don't have to give me a reward for shootin' them two fellas." "Who said anything about a reward?" "You'll have to work." "And you can't tell." "We're liable to run into Kelley anywhere along the river." "What do you wanna cut me in for?" "You struck it." "What do you need anyone for?" "The bartender told me why you was here for diggings." "Most of us just want the money." "You want it to get hitched." "That's the highest point in a man's life, Mr. Ford - gettin' hitched." " What are you drivin' at?" " There ain't no place so high... that you can't reach it with a burro's load of pay dirt." "You know, you don't look like a man that makes much sense, but you sure do." "Why sit here eatin' your heart out waitin' for a man you think stole your ring... when you've got a chance to win gold and wear it or hoard it... or spend it or lend it or lose it... or use it to get hitched?" "I got nothin' to workwith." "You got hands." "Better than hard tack, ain't it?" "And I shot that mountain lion, which was only 20 feet behind Soapy." "We've been digging fror weeks, and we're going to keep on digging." "Nighttime is when it's " "Well, it's nighttime." "What' I I you do if he does strike it rich?" "I don't know." "I don't remember if it was Shakespeare or Aristotle... but one of them once said..." ""No one loves the man whom he fears."" "Telegram." " For me?" " No." "For you, Miss Cynthy." "I seen you wear black before, but now it - it kinda makes you seem taller." "Hello, Bob." "Yeah, but not taller maybe." "You're " "You're lookin' kinda different." "Perhaps I'm tired." "Yeah." "Your telegram said you'd be arriving at 6:00." "Oh, it was the otherway around." "I said we'd be leaving at 6:00." "Yeah, I'm kinda mixed up." "I see you brought him with you." "Harry had a little tough luck in St. Joe, and he thought" "Well, as long as this is a boomtown... maybe they'd like to pay money for a real heartwarmin' drama." "I hope you got yourself a new leading lady, Harry... 'cause Cynthy and I, we " "Come on." "I got a surprise for ya." "What's the matter, Cynthy?" "Don't you like it?" "I guess you're all wore out from the trip." "You know, I sent to Denver for a dressmaker to make you a weddin' dress." "You've gone to a lot of trouble, Bob, and I " "You know, people'll see us courtin'." "It'll be the biggest wedding' in " "No, it ain't the trip that's tired you." "There's somethin' bothering you." "When something' bothers us." "We gotta talk things out when somethin' bothers us." "Come in." "Go on." "All right, tell him." "I stole your ring when you went to sleep that night." "Give it to him." "Go on." "Get outta here." "Don't ever call me a thief." "He can put that ring on your finger now, Mrs. Ford." "I'm not Mrs. Ford yet." "You go freshen up." "You must be tired?" "I'll fix up a room for Kane and myself." "You go freshen up." "That clerk shot outta here like a bullet." "I knowed the minute you blew back, you'd clear that up." "He did the same thing lastyear in Jefferson City." "When you grabbed him behind his desk, I sure thought he was a dead one." " How'd you make out with your claim?" " No good."

"How long did you say it would take to make me marshal?" " Five minutes." " You'd better tell your friends." "Fella's gotta eat." "Let me have my bag." "You got a reason to stay in town now, eh?" " Yep." " Hey, did you see the bride?" "She's no bride yet." "Veronica... better wait with those bags." "Have you told him yet?" " I couldn't." " Why are you wasting time?" "I'm not particularly fond of him, but even a traitor like Bob Ford..." " Harry." " Yes, even he deserves consideration." " Well, it isn't easy." " Why, of course it isn't easy... but you've got to tell him the truth." "Tell him that you're on yourway to Denver, that we're going to open a new show." "Cynthy." "Perhaps I've exaggerated now and then about... your acting ability." "But your honesty, that's a quality I've " "I've always admired in you." "Thank you, Harry."

" I bought her hats and dresses and shoes and " " How much gold will it take?" " Now, you're talking like an intelligent bachelor." "Anyone can get married." "Mr. Soapy, I just want " "I just" " I just wanted to " " Hello." " Hello." "You're going to marry him tomorrow?" "Well, not tomorrow." "You're not ever going to marry him, because I won't let you." "Pack up." "You can't come in here and tell me what to do." "You didn't let that stop you when you ordered me out of St. Joe." "You're making it worse for me." "Cynthy." "We don't need talk to understand each other." "You don't love him." "I can't hurt him." "Then why did you come here?" "Tell me." " Well, I..." " Why?" "I-I" " I wanted to tell him to his face."

" If you kill him, you'll hang." " Shut up." "Sit down." "I didn't mean to listen to what you were saying, Cynthy." "I got a little reckless and knocked over a bottle of perfume." "Ain't used to female things, you know." " I know how you feel " " Shut up." "Soon as we hear the verdict, we'll get back to work." "I still can't figure out how Kelley got the best of Frank James."

"What number do you wanna rehearse?" "Maybe 20 years, maybe." "They'll never keep him in jail, Bob." "He's been there a week, but they won't keep him long." "You're right." "The trial is over." " Waiter." " How many years did they..." "He's free." "I don't understand." "There wa - There was a price on his head." "There is, Bob, but not in Colorado." "I don't have to kill you." "But I'm gonna tell you something that will kill you." "You're aiming to marry Cynthy." "When you put your lips up close to hers, she'll be kissing you... but she'll be thinking of Kelley." "It's you she's sorry fror, but it's him she wants." "Anyone seen the marshal?" "I kept away because of you, but I..." "I don't like this hiding from him." "Everybody knows what he'll do the minute he sees you." "I've gotta figure out some way to talk to him." " But he's crazy with jealousy." " I'm not gonna run away from something I want." " Then take me away." "Anywhere." "Let's leave right." " You wouldn't like that." "Do you want to spend the rest of your life behind a bolted door?" "They tell me Ford's on his way over here."

" She's not gonna marry you." "She came here to tell you that." "We both love her, you in your way... and me in my way." "Some men will kill for a woman." "Some won't." "You won't 'cause you don't love her enough." "He just wouldn't listen to me." "Cynthy." "I..." "I want to tell you something." "I ain't never told anyone." "Bob."
