"You're young, and you have a good look about you." "I'd like your gun, Renn, as a favor." "I think it might save your life." "Don't you lay a hand on me." "Don't you touch me!" "You're impossible!" "You wretch!" "There are just no words." "You're impossible." "You are a cad, sir." " Call my carriage, please." " Miss Thorndike..." "You are not a gentleman." " You are most decidedly not a gentleman." " Margaret..." " You are a beguiler and a deceiver and..." " Margaret..." "Darling..." "What did you say to her?" "Well, if I tell you, you'll know, and then very shortly, everyone will know, and then there will be absolutely no point in my knowing, will there?" "Inscrutable Pakka dolly." ""Tiger by the Tail." ""Denton, Texas." ""The Wilder brothers wait to come home in a jail in Clovis, Dakota Territory." ""We are waiting to hang them." ""Their savage gang has murdered and pillaged four states." ""Even now, no peace officer has reached Clovis alive" ""to bring them home to the rope." ""Their friends and relations and cohorts mock justice." "Who can bring them home?"" "You want to check them?" "I trust you, but I'll check them." "No offense." "No offense taken." "Ooh, it's a cold one." " How did you take them?" " In their sleep." "We was drunk, too, fat belly." "So you was." "Yes, sir." "I guess they had about six men around here." "Spread 'em out, I think." "They were stopping a lot of people." "About six." "Maybe 60." "Like I told you, when you get to Derby, take the train." "It'll save you about three weeks' traveling time and maybe keep you from freezing in the mountains." "Ah, just a minute." "Here's a present for you." "Yeah, you're probably right, but I'll pass this time." "One blanket." "Why does it always have to be one blanket?" "I spent a whole winter in Canada once." "One blanket." "I didn't even ask myself why." "Habit." "You're lucky we found this shack." "I nearly froze that winter." "Go to sleep, Dave." "Build a fire." "I'd soon as get shot as freeze to death." "That fat old marshal was right." "Listen to that wind whistle." "You know, a whole army could crawl up on us here, and we'd never hear." "So go on." "Build a fire, mister." "Die warm." "Go to sleep." "Mmm." "Mmm. 2:00." "Don't you ever sleep?" "Pure gold." "Did you know that?" "Swiss made insides, too." "It's real fancy." "Killed a man for it." "Shut your mouth." "I want to rest." "I asked him for it first." "Stubborn Scotsman." "He said no." "I offered him five dollars." "I believe you." "Mmm." "There was a picture of his wife in it, too." "Huh?" "Pretty woman." "I hope to meet her someday." "Close it up, Dave." "I want to get some sleep." "Respect, Simmy." "Respect." "I didn't bring you up from a kid to be talked to like this." "There's, uh, somebody waiting out there with a rifle." "Maybe one, maybe two, maybe three." "With a long rifle." "A long way away." "Waiting for a clear shot." "There'll be some of my children in Derby, waiting in a doorway, maybe from a hitch post out in the street, maybe from an upstairs window, maybe inside the station, waiting for a clear shot," "waiting to kill you." "Now, I want you to turn us loose, and in exchange for that," "I promise you your life." "Now, do you wanna shut your mouth and go to sleep?" "Mmm." "Pull up." "That's an ugly sound." "I pull the trigger, it's even uglier." "Turn around, both of you." "What kind of an Indian you think that is?" "Blackfoot maybe." "How can you tell?" "They all look the same." "Straight to the railroad station." "Either of you stops, I'll kill you both." "You taking him back with us?" "Yes." "Well, I want him embalmed." "I want him to go in a casket." "I'll pay." "Pay for his burial, too." "But not his killing." "You'll pay for that." "Now stand there." "I'm cold clear through." "I'm going to the fire." "I told you to stand there." "You beginning to sweat, gunfighter?" "You beginning to feel it?" "Hmm?" "Which one?" "Which one is it?" "Hmm?" "How many of them here belong to Dave Wilder?" "How many of them are his children?" "Sit down." "I want to look at your children." "All right, mother." "Go on to the fire." "Can I go to the fire now, sir?" "Mother!" "How does a woman get like that?" "We ought to get rid of them at 30." "Huh?" "I like my ladies young." "Can't help it." "We may as well be friends." "One of us is going to be with the other for the rest of his life." "You're worse than I am." "I kill for pleasure or to take power or for the love of a fight." "But you... you kill for money." "What are you gonna do with it?" "Buy stocks?" "Breed horses?" "Or are you saving it for old age?" "You warm yet?" "Where shall I put the deceased?" "Outside on the platform." "He'll go in the baggage car." "Bring him inside with us." "There are people in here." "I want him with me." "Or I could chain you to him outside." "Whatever you say." "Why?" "I owe him respect." "Love the living, respect the dead." "Inside." "Uh, right in here, men." "Careful now." "Over there." "He's embalmed now, isn't he?" "I guarantee that." "What did he... he do?" "Ate some little girls up from the tips of their toes to the tips of their nose." "You talk to the lady like that again," "I'll knock you down and stomp on you, chains or not." "No offense meant, miss." "I look at you, and I..." "I like what I see." "But no offense meant." "And you over there, you can go to stomping any time you want." "That'll be $48, sir." "When does this, uh, train get in?" "Oh, won't be long now." "We pride ourselves on both the quality and service." "I hope you'll recommend us sometime." "Yeah." "Every time." "Thank you, sir." "Talky bird." "You, too." "What do you think, missy?" "You've a bad, nasty mouth." "I used to have a brother like you." "Your favorite?" "Yes." "You never answered me." "What did he do?" "He murdered some people." "Sometimes in hot blood, sometimes in cold." "Sometimes for something, and sometimes for nothing." "That about it, Wilder?" "Oh, you left out the Indians." "Of course, I never counted them." "Dagblast it!" "Anybody wants any more wood, they can get it themselves." "I ain't no parlor maid." "Don't need no more fire in there anyway." "Why, sure." "You got your own stove back there." "Haul the wood for it, too." "Uh, they with you?" "Yes, sir." "That'll be full fare for the casket." "And not on the train neither." "Too many people think they can just jump on a train and pay there if they get caught." "Pay here." "Now, look, I ain't going nowhere, and I'm just beginning to get warm." "When that train pulls out, you're gonna be dead, so I just wanna sit in a... have a..." "Well, where to?" "Denton, Texas." "Texas, huh?" "Texas." "Texas." "Denton, Texas." "Well, there are three transfers." "Change to a stage in Texas." "I'll write down where." "And that's, uh, 37.50 each." "Got the money?" "Let's see." "Hundred..." " Who's the girl?" " I ain't nosey." "And I ain't afraid of you." "No, sir, but I am gonna have to have your help." "A saloon girl." "Came here three months ago." "From a farm, I think." "She's young." "She's older now than then." "Going to San Francisco to make her fortune." "The Indian woman?" "Don't know her." "Choctow, Blackfoot." "Thinks she'll get on without a ticket." "She won't, though." "An Indian got killed this afternoon." "You know him?" "Oh, I seen him around." " He have a wife?" " I don't know." "You'll have to give me a hand getting the casket on." "Got no help around here." "Yes, sir." "The old gentleman?" "Well, he's heading the other way." "Says he's going home." "You know him?" "Yeah, that's old Moses." "Been working at the hostler's for two months." "That's a thin coat." "Yeah, well, that's for Sundays and traveling." "Mostly, he wore old rags till Miss Davis." "She'd give him them throwaways there." "That leaves the cowboy." "Aah, he's a drifter." "Worked at Wade Timmer's for a month." "That's all." "Thank you." "What do you drink?" "Well, the best I can buy." "How long you been here?" "Five years." "Of course, there ain't anybody in this room would know if that was true or not." "Old man, I bother you?" "Why?" "Well, meaning no disrespect, sir, but only a devil would keep another man in chains." "Why, if I was dying, and the devil held out his hand to me," "I wouldn't take it." "Old man..." "Here." "Go on." "Thank you." "I can sure use some of them." "Just about now, bucko." "Just about any minute now." "Better help me get the casket out there now." "Wilder." "What's your name?" "Bill Renn." "Mr. Renn, I'd like your gun for a few minutes." "Just as a favor." " Why?" " You're young." "You have a good look about you." "I thought it might save your life." "You got no right to ask that." "No." "No, I don't." "Miss, why don't you step outside?" "It's an express, and it won't wait." " Not even for the dead?" " Pick it up." "All right, mother." "You can go." "No, she ain't getting on." "Not without a ticket." "She just thinks she is." "All right?" "Can you make it?" "Yeah." "That fool undertaker." "He could have left his trundle." "He's an old man, Paladin." "Speak up, friend." "Can you make it?" "No, no, I..." "I..." "Got a freight wagon?" "This ain't Sioux Falls." "How about him?" "Now, did you break anything?" "No." "Then pick it up!" "There!" "You call that undertaker." "I paid his brother's fare all the way to Texas." "I want that body on the next train." "Yes, sir." "Anymore children?" "All the way to Texas."
