" That's right - and let your boys catch us?" "Mr.." "Butterfield, the Apache who lived in that path are the ones that stayed to fight" "They enjoy killing" "You ain't going to make it" "We'll take our chances" "Something on your mind, Dan?" "Why did you kill Tucker?" "Why not me?" "Or Butterfield?" "Hell, Tucker took my horse." "Did you liked him, Dan?"

"All the way to Yuma." "Right up on them steps to the rope." "Straight to hell" "Yeah, the day I die, Byron" "I'm getting sprung from hell" "I might feel the same, if I'd come from the seed of a drunk grave digger and the rancid womb of a whore" "Drop it, Dan Evans." "Drop it" "Toss it to the ground, Doc" "Mr. Butterfield..." "I believe, Dan, you're carrying a pistol as well." "I'd appreciate it if you take it out and drop it on the ground." "Thank you" "Now, I've always liked you, Byron, , but you never knew when to shut up" "Even bad men love their mommas" "Now I think it's time for everybody to go home" "Don't you move, Mr. Wade." "Let go of that shotgun." "William, what the hell are you doing here?" "I don't think that you're going to shoot a man in the back of the head, boy" "Dan, tell your boy it's over" "You think you can keep you gun on him, William?" "I'm doing a damn sight better than you did" "You ever been to Dodge City?" "No." "Stop talking to him" "The way you're shuffling those cards, I took you for a pro" "I practice a lot."

"How many families have you destroyed?" "Quite a few" "Is it true that you dynamited a wagon full of prospectors in the Western Territories last spring?" "No, that's a lie." "It was a train full" ", Dan" "I gotta take a piss" "You know, I thought he was going to shoot me back in the ravine" "I really thought he was going to do it" "There was a wildness in his eyes." "He reminds me..." "He's going to be nothing like you, Wade" "A man's got to have a head start on the path of decency" "Yeah, that's why I don't mess around with doing anything good, Dan." "Dou do one good deed for somebody..." "I imagine it's habit forming" "Something decent." "See that grateful look in their eyes I imagine it makes feel like christ hisself" "I've had enough of this, Wade." "Come on." "Let's go" "It's three of them" " Yours?" "If they were mine, you'd be dead" "Give me that gun, Wade!" "I told you not to come this way" "It was McElroy's decision." "I told you there'd be trouble" "Give me the keys to the handcuffs" "Easy." "Easy now" "Where is he?" "He's gone" "He took the horses with him." "I found this in the grass" "That's the quickest way out of the pass He'll be looking for help, to get his cuffs off" "We are going after him." "There ain't no reward for getting him halfway to that train, is there?" "I've got to be honest with you, I like some of their food." "As for wanting $40 a month now, I can..." "Hello, Love." "God damned Coolies." "They'll work just fine with my left boot up their ass" "Well, if I could teach a monkey to lay track,..." "Well." "What we need here are some negros brought here, Mister Boles" "Show these Chinamen what real work is" "Holly Christ!" "Who is that?" "That's him!" " Help me with the handcuffs" "Break the chain." "Use the hammer." "Break the chain." "I have 5 guns on you out here, Ben Wade" "Just come on out!" "The horses." "What the hell is going on here?" "Mr. Butterfield, all finished in Bigsby?" "Mr. Boles" "You'd better hurry." "We're making the last blasts through the mountains this week." "That's my prisoner." "We're taking him to Contention, putting him on the prison train to Yuma." "What prisoner?" "Come now, Mr. Boles." "That's Ben Wade you have there" "Ben Wade gunned down my kid brother, in front of me, 6 years ago in Abeline" "Your brother was a lying card shark" "That is, if he is the asshole I remember." "He could of course be some other asshole I've killed that I've forgot about" "You can't do that." "That's immoral." "Immoral ain't got a damned thing to do with it" "I was expecting to collect a $200 reward for that man." "I'm delivering him to Contention, I need that money." "Need it bad enough to die?" "At least let us take our horses." "I've got no problem with that" "As long as you ride away, Mr." "Nice knowing you, Dan" "God damn it!" "Did we make it?" "Did we get away?" "Yeah, Doc." "We did" "Thanks to you." "We need a place to lay low." "Keep him out of sight 'till the train comes" "There is a hotel up here, I'll check to see, and you ride around back" "Hey, Will." "You keep a watch on the rail head You see them coming..." "I'll let you know" "William!" "There's a Can-Can on the outs, if you're interested..." "It's the Bridal Suite, I hope you don't mind, it's all they had" "Well, well." "That looks like rain clouds over Bigsby" "You still need that $200, Dan?" "Shut up" "Mr.." "Evans, you continue to give me great confidence" "I'm going to see about the Marshal." "We're looking for a group escorting and outlaw by the name of Ben Wade" "Yeah, we've been chasing them through these tunnels" "Who you are?" "What's it to you?" "Ben Wade killed my brother." "Then your brother must be famous" "Are you, boys, some kind of posse?" "I hate posses" "So this is the Bridal Suite." "Now, I wonder how many brides have taken in this view" "What are you going to do with your $200 now, Dan?" "Now that the rains are coming" "I owe people money, Wade." "That drought left me in the hole" "What do you think about double that amount?" "You can pay your debts, buy a hundred more cows" "Build a new barn" "How do you reckon I'm going to do that?" "Just lay down your gun and let me walk out the door." "It's worth $400" "Is that what you reckon my price is?" "No..." "No, I reckon it's a thousand One thousand dollars" "There was ten times that amount in Butterfield's coach" "Do you want my cut, Dan?" "It's all yours." "Isn't that kind of reckless of you Wade?" "Seeing that..." "Hmmm." "You're so sure that your crew is coming to get you" "Oh, they're coming, Dan" "Sure as God's vengeance, they're coming" "But I just like to do things easy" "Imagine what you can do with $1000, Dan?" "You can hire a couple of ranch hands." "Your boys could go to school, grow up smart." "What about Alice?" "She wouuld be the proud wife of a bonafide Arizona rancher" "All you've got to do is say yes" "Will you give me a bank note, Wade?" "Or will you be kind enough to make a deposit for me?" "Cash." "You tell me, Wade." "How will I account for that amount of money?" "What will I tell people when I spend it?" "That you got the jump on me, you escaped, and somehow I got a fortune" "No." "How dumb do you think people are?" "Nobody needs to know" "Do you know what?" "Would you do me a favor?" "Don't talk to me for a while." "You mean we're still not friends?" "No." "No, we're not" "Come 5 minutes to 3, we're going to be a hell of a lot closer than you think" "#They're gonna hang me in the morning" "#For the night is done" "#They're gonna hang me in the morning" "#I'll never see the sun" "Who is it?" "It's me, Dan" "I brought help" "You've been gone for a long time, Mr. Butterfield" "How do I know someone ain't got a gun on you out there?" "Dan, this is Marshal Will Doane" "Marshal" " Mr. Evans" "Two of my finest men" "I'm sorry about all that, Marshal, I am grateful for the help" "Don't mention it" "So, you fellows are really going to help to put me on this train?" "It might not seem like it, Mr.." "Wade, but we got law and order in this town, just like in any other" "Well, that's very reassuring, Marshal" "How much money is Butterfield paying you?" "That's not of your business" "You're coming with us?" "I'll be walking with you" "Every step of the way." "You have my word on that, Dan" "That makes five of us." "Five is good" "It ain't enough" "It ain't nearly enough" "Pa!" "That's my boy" "They're coming." "They are coming this way I've seen them" " Where?" "About a mile out, same way we come how many are they?" " Seven,..." "Eight." "Which is it?" "7 or 8?" "Seven." "Folks, sorry to bother you, but I'm going to need you to move outside as quickly as possible" "That's it, folks." "Move along" "Right there." "Sure there're a lot of them" " You'd figure, with it being the whole gang" "Boss?" "Boss?" "Boss, are you are in there?" "What do you want me to tell them?" "You tell them you'll write them a letter every day from Yuma" "Be careful, Wade." "Charlie, Boys." "Charlie, why don't you take the boys down to the saloon and boy them a drink" "Are you ok?" "I am fine." "Just sitting up here with my 4 new friends" "That's enough" "Thank You, Charlie." "Listen up!" "Listen up!" "That's Ben Wade they have up there!" "Ben Wade!" "Now, the railroad intends to put him on the 3:10 to Yuma and hang him" "What's he doing?" "We will give you $300 cash" "To any man who shoots anyone of his captors" "$200 cash guaranteed!" "$200 guaranteed!" "I'll take $200 Give me the money" "You've got to shoot them first" "It's gotta be 30 or 40 with guns out there now" "The hell with this!" "Now, just a minute, Marshal" "Now, look." "If it's a fair fight, sure." "I'd stay for that." "A fair fight..." "That's a man's duty, but..." "There's only 5 of us" "I'm sorry, Mr, but I'm not going to die here today" "And neither are my men" "Marshal,..." "You forgot this" "Marshal?" "Now, you see, Dan." "Generally, pretty much everyone wants to live" "I'll double your money" "Let's go, boys" "Please, do you want to see us shot down in the street?" "This thing happened in Bigsby" "That means Butterfield too" "Why bring your troubles to Contention?" "We've got families Everyone of us is a family man" "I'm a family man too" "He's gona walk out on you" "Then you'd best get out like the rest of us" "He's gonna come back up here He's gonna walk out on you" "Now, what you've got to figure is why you and your boy are gonna die because of Butterfield's railroad loss of money?" "They're all of them?" "Almost." "Your move, general" "What do you expect him to say?" "I expect him to say something that makes sense." "Something that might save the two of you." "Take a look, Dan What's the matter?" "You don't want to see?" "I'll see them soon enough" "What about you, kid?" "You wanna look?" "Stay away from the window, William." "Go on take a look." "They're animals All of them" "They're gonna kill you and your father, William" "And I'll laugh while they do it" "I think you know that" "Call them them off" "Why should I?" "Because you're not all bad" "Yes, I am" "Your saved us from those Indians." " I saved myself" "You got us through the tunnels You helped us get away" "If I had a gun in them tunnels, I would've used it on you." "I don't believe you." "Kid, I wouldn't last 5 minutes leading an outfit like that if I wasn't as rotten as hell." "Dan,..." "I can't do it," "Dan, and if I can't do it, you shouldn't do it either" "They say discretion is the part of valor" "If you think that you have an olbigation to me or to the railroad I assure you you do not, I'm releasing you" "It's just you left, Dan." "Just you and your boy" "Maybe he is right, Pa, maybe we should go home" "What did Doc Potter gave his life for, William?" "And McElroy?" "Little red ants on a hill" "I'll pay you the $200, Dan." "Right now." "And you can walk away" "You know, this whole ride, it's been nagging on me that's what the government gave me for my leg $198.36 and the funny thing is that when you think about it - which I have been lately- is that they weren't paying me to walk away." "They were paying me so they could walk away." "Don't muddy the past on the present, Dan" "No, no, no, Wade." "I'm seeing the world the way it is" "If you take him to the train, Pa, I'm going with you" "No, Mr. Butterfield's gonna take you home" "No, I'm not going any..." " Yes, you are" "I'm staying here with you" "You're going to hold up in the room across the hall." "You're going to wait until we leave." "I'll get him to Bigsby." "You've got my promise" "You're going to promise a lot more than that, Butterfield" "I want guarantees that Hollander and his boys will never set foot on my land again" "And that my water is going to flow." "And I expect you to hand my wife $1000 cash when you see her." "You've got money to spare" "I can deliver that, just get him on the train." "You heard him?" " I heard him." "William I want you to give this back to your mother" "I want you to tell her it helped me find what is right" "Pa, I can't just leave you" "I'm going to be a day behind you, William Unless something happens." "And if it does, I need a man at the ranch" "To run things; to protect our family." "And I know that you can do that because you've become a fine man, William" "You've become a fine man You've got all the best parts of me what few there are" "And you just remember that your old man hauled Ben Wade to that station when nobody else would" "You know, squeezing that watch won't stop time" "Don't get so scared." "You might a bad mood." "Ever read the Bible, Dan?" "I read it one time." "I was 8 years old." "My daddy had just got himself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mom said we were going back East to start over" "So she gave me a Bible, sat me down at the train station." "Told me to read it" "She was going to get our tickets" "Well, I did what she said..." "I read that Bible cover to cover." "It took me 3 days" "She never came back." "It's time" "It's a half mile to the station from here, Dan" "I guess we're walking" "Lucky" "Dan..." "You're not gonna get a chance to use those Scofields, Charlie" "Perhaps you can explain to me the next portion of your plan, Dan" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Not the black hat!" "you dumb shits!" "Charlie." "Get back!" "Get back!" "Boss!" "Let's go!" "White Door!" "Move it!" "I can't do this no more, Dan" "I'm putting you on that train, Wade" "I'm going back!" "Your boy is gone, hero." "Ain't nobody watching no more" "You still got that one good leg, why don't you use it to get on home?" "Charlie!" "Charlie Prince!" "Yeah, boss!" " Hold your fire!" "I'm walking out" "I have never been no hero, Wade" "Only I've seen, it was a retreat my foot got shot off by one of my own men." "You try telling that story to your boy see how he looks at you then" "Boss!" "Ok, Dan" "Son." "They're on the move They're on the move!" "Boss, Boss.." "Can you make this?" " Yeah" "Spread out!" "..." "What time is it?" "Quarter past three" "Where is the 3:10 to Yuma?" "Running late, I suppose" "How late?" "Beats me" "It gets here when it gets here" "God damned trains, You never can rely on them, huh?" "You know..." "I ain't stubborn." "Excuse me?" "You said I was stubborn for keeping my family on a dying ranch" "It's my son, Mark" "The young one" "He got tuberculosis when he was 2" "Doctor said he'd die if he didn't have a dry climate" "Why are you telling me this?" "I don't know" "I guess that I just wanted you to know that I ain't stubborn." "That's all" "Well, as long as we're making confesions" " Yeah?" "I've been to Yuma Prison before" "Twice Escaped twice too" "First car, sliding door" "They'll be coming" "I've got a prisoner to go to Yuma" "Well, you did it, Dan" "No!" "Pa!" "For a one legged rancher, he's one tough son of a bitch" "You done it, Pa" "You done it." "You got him on the train" "Pa"
