"Mail stop, miss bertie." "Ten minutes in case you wanna stretch your legs." "Oh, thank you." "Thank you, that would be nice." "Thank you." "The next two stops, regular towns." "North fork an' dobe wells we're gonna pick up two" "Passengers at dobe wells, an' that'll be company for you." "Oh, that's nice, I like company." "Now, don't you go wanderin' like you did at the last stop." "Oh, I'm well able to take" "Care of myself, sir, but I shall be extremely cautious." "You do that." "Just a minute, wait a minute." "That's it, boy." "Man:" "Hey, hold it." "I said hold on!" "Hey, we got somethin' to talk about, mister." "Hey!" "Didn't you hear me?" "By rights that last pot was mine." "But we're not agreed on that, boy." "But you owe me $50." "Well, let's not argue about it." "Not as long as you pay me." "oh my." "I never saw a man so fast on the draw." "Wonder who he is." "Oh." "Why, you must have every outlaw" "There ever was in this book, miss holcomb." "You can call me bertie, everybody else does." "I don't have wild jack malone," "His posters are pretty difficult to find." "I don't think I ever heard o' him." "Well, he was captured many years ago before you were born." "The reward on him was nearly... $10,000." "Why, he must have been a deadeye like billy the kid." "Well, he was so fast that people claimed they couldn't" "Even see him draw." "His guns were like billy's, but they were a matched set," "With pearl handles." "Just as deadly as the regular kind." "Wild jack was lonely, mr." "Mccain," "But there was good in him." "Did you know that he gave a proper burial to all the" "People that he killed?" "Carved the wooden headboards himself." "You're goin' to santa fe, miss bertie?" "Elizabethtown, santa fe an' tombstone." "Oh, they're might wild towns." "Not the best place for a lady traveling' alone." "Oh, I'm not a bit afraid." "Whenever I go, people are very helpful an' very kind." "I don't have a bit of trouble, not one bit." "Well, out o' here, mostly folks are fine," "But it's still a pretty rough country." "Edges haven't been" "Smoothed down like they were in philadelphia." "That why you carry that rifle?" "Rifle's a pretty good friend, if it's used right." "Could I look at it?" "All right, but I better hold it, it's loaded." "You've done somethin' with that trigger, haven't you?" "That's right." "Fires automatically, each time you cock the lever." "My, my for pretty's sake." "Oh, could you stay in town" "Just one day?" "So I could show the book to some o' my friends?" "Stop devilin' miss bertie, mark." "Although it would be" "A pleasure showing' you around, ma'am." "Thank you, but elizabethtown an' santa fe and tombstone" "Are more suitable for my purpose." "Have a pleasant trip, miss bertie, an' good luck." "Oh, good luck to you, mr." "Mccain." "I'm gonna send you a present from santa fe, mark." "Honest?" "Yeah." "That'd be great." "Well, we better hustle, son," "If we wanna get home before dark." "Bye, miss." "Bertie." "Bye." "Goodbye, dear." "Mr. Mccain?" "Mr. Mccain, I've changed my mind." "I think I'll stay in north fork after all." "Could you help me, please?" "Gee!" "So..." "Lucas mccain." "Well..." "It's been a long time." "Yes, it has, jennings." "Last I heard you were in oklahoma territory." "I've done some ridin' since then." "Still using' that trick rifle, I see." "When I have to." "How about some supper?" "No, thanks, I'm eatin' with my boy an' a friend." "Howdy, boy?" "Howdy." "Go get us a table, mark." "Yes, sir." "We don't have any celebrities here, jennings." "It's just a nice, quiet town." "That's what I've figured, luke." "Not too many places a fellow" "Can vacation with a..." "Price on his head." "That's right." "Be seein' you." "Yeah, I'll be seeing you, luke." "Oh, thank you, mark." "Oh, isn't this nice, I'm so grateful, mr." "Mccain." "Eatin' alone isn't any fun at all." "Well, it's a pleasure to have you, miss bertie." "Mmh." "who's that, pa?" "that's duke jennings." "He's 32 years old," "He was born in kansas, prefers poker to faro," "An' always works alone." "He killed a man 2 days ago." "Fair fight." "how do you know?" "I saw 'im do it." "Oh, he's not" "Wanted in this jurisdiction, mr." "Mccain." "Oh, fortunately." "What do you mean, fortunately?" "Well, if he were, your marshal would arrest him," "An' I wouldn't be able to help mr." "Jennings at all." "You mean you- you mean you came here to help mr." "Jennings?" "Well, I came west to help some outlaw." "Meetin' mr." "Jennings is a stroke of luck, for him an' me." "Um, pardon me, mr." "Jennings," "But could I speak with you for a few minutes?" "Why certainly, ma'am." "I'm alberta holcomb, I'm from philadelphia." "I've followed your career with a great deal of interest." "You know, you're a man of fine possibilities?" "Well, that's very kind of you, ma'am." "I'd like to do business with you." "Oh, you would?" "Um-hm." "Oh, ma'am, you got a job for me?" "Oh no, no, no." "No." "Not a job, a chance." "Oh." "The opportunity to begin a new life, an' never be lonely again." "Oh, I see." "Well, I'm not lonely, ma'am." "Now if you'll" "Excuse me, I've got some friends waitin'." "Oh, that's not true." "That's not true." "You have no friends," "But you could have." "Leavenworth is full of lonely men just like you." "Leavenworth!" "Ma'am, you'd better get back to the hotel." "Payin' for your crimes is the only way to find happiness." "Now for your own sake, why don't you let me turn you in?" "Oh, so that's what you are, ma'am, a bounty hunter." "Oh, people should help each other," "And I need $2,000 very, very much." "Well, ma'am, if I ever decide" "To visit leavenworth, I shall let you turn me in." "Oh, thank you, mr." "Jennings, thank you very much." "Miss bertie, it's for your own good." "Well, a lady like you" "Shouldn't go traipsing' around" "After somebody like duke jennings." "I have business with mr." "Jennings," "I have to keep in touch with him." "That's no business for you, miss bertie." "Do you know what it's like to be lonely?" "Really lonely?" "In philadelphia, I have a small room," "It's very near independence square." "A small room can be..." "Very big an' very empty." "All my friends live on the other side of town," "In a place with lovely lawns" "And a wonderful lake, it's a home for ladies." "It's a real home, that's very important, you know." "Sure it is, miss bertie, but just the same..." "Well, it takes $2,000 to get into happy acres," "An' I wanna live there more than anythin' in the world." "Look, miss bertie, uh," "There must be some other way to get the money." "Not unless I accept charity, an' I won't do that." "I have to earn the money an' helpin' mr." "Jennings" "Is the best way to do it." "So you see it benefits everybody." "The community," "Mr. Jennings an' me." "You see, gentlemen, I'm being completely realistic." "Oh, good day, gentlemen." "Pesterin' jennings is like grabbing' a bull by the tail." "Yeah, micah, but there's" "Nothin' says a little old lady can't be a bounty hunter." "Raise." "Call." "Aces over threes." "Well, this town is gonna be lucky for me." "Good afternoon, gentlemen." "Good afternoon." "Mr. Jennings." "Oh, good afternoon, ma'am." "Lady, excuse me I- I guess you made a mistake." "Oh?" "I mean..." "Uh..." "Comin' in here." "This- this here is a saloon." "Well, I know that." "Well, uh, ladies don't..." "Generally come in here." "Oh, what a shame." "It's so nice, an' cool, an' pleasant" "In here, don't you agree, mr." "Jennings?" "Yes, ma' am, I do." "A hundred." "Bring me a sarsaparilla then, please." "Lady, I don't have any sarsaparilla." "Well, then bring me somethin' else, somethin' that's cool." "It's so warm this afternoon." "You bet a hundred?" "I'll raise you 50." "That's a great deal of money, mr." "Jennings." "Suppose you don't fill it?" "Well, how much are these?" "Six for a penny." "An'..." "An' these?" "Two for a penny." "Oh." "I'll have four of these." "Take four of each." "Be my treat." "Oh, thank you." "You're very welcome." "How are you today, milly?" "Just fine, miss bertie, here's your usual order." "Oh, thank you." "Put enough jelly beans in there?" "I sure did." "Oh, I need some oil." "You're gonna need more than oil to get the rust off of these." "Oh, why don't you just go an' talk to the marshal about it?" "Well, I think not, just give me the best oil you have." "Here you are." "Oh, thank you." "How much is it?" "Ten cents." "Ten cents, all right." "Let's see, there's ten cents for the candy" "An' ten cents for the oil," "And there's three pennies for mark's candy." "Thank you." "Oh, miss." "Bertie?" "Mmhh?" "Why don't you just stay an' visit for a while?" "Oh, I'll come back, dear, when my business is finished." "Thanks again." "Enjoy it, dear, enjoy it." "What's she want with handcuffs?" "Mark, where's lucas?" "Well, at the council meeting'." "Anythin' wrong?" "Mark, you run over an' tell 'im that miss bertie" "Has gone into the saloon again," "Only this time she's got a pair of handcuffs with her." "All right." "Hello, mr." "Jennings." "How are you today?" "Would you like some candy?" "No, no thank you, ma'am." "They're jelly beans?" "No, thank you." "Um, would you like some?" "Would you?" "Like some jelly beans?" "Thank you, ma'am." "Here, got a whole case for you, ma'am." "Oh, how nice an' thoughtful of you, mr." "Sweeney," "Thank you very much." "I'll bet $100." "I'll raise... $50." "oh, I'm sorry." "I'm very sorry," "But it's such an unlucky hand." "Poor billy" "Hickok was holdin' a hand just like that when he was shot." "And you have done it again." "Everybody knows that hand." "Sheriff?" "You tell that woman to" "Stay away from me, I'm losin' my patience." "What is it now, jennings?" "She won't leave me alone, she's always pestering' me at" "My elbow an' it's gettin' so" "You just tell her to leave me alone." "One way to keep her from pestering' you" "Is to leave north fork." "Well, I'll, uh, I'll see what I can do." "Much obliged." "Hello, mr." "Mccain, marshal torrance?" "Hello, miss bertie." "Would you like a glass of sarsaparilla?" "Oh, it's just delicious." "No, thanks, miss bertie, not now." "Would you like some jelly beans?" "Uh, no, thanks." "And you?" "Miss bertie?" "Mm?" "Duke jennings claims you've" "Been bothering' 'im, he's quite upset about it." "Oh, it's his conscience that is bothering' 'im." "Miss bertie, these part of his conscience?" "I'm just oiling' them." "Uh, you keep nudgin' jennings' conscience, an', well," "He's liable to start trouble." "Well, isn't that what you want?" "An opportunity to arrest him?" "Well, yes, if he breaks the law." "Well, I'm helpin' you, marshal." "I don't want your help." "Well, that's not the point." "I've checked all the legal details, and I know." "Look, miss bertie, trouble starts easier in a saloon" "Than anywhere else." "It's no place for a lady." "He's right, miss bertie." "From now on you'd better stay out of here." "Well, it's open for the public, isn't it?" "It's open to anybody, provided they behave themselves." "Well, I'm gonna sit here an' drink sarsaparilla," "Just like I have been doing." "Surely nobody can complain about that." "Yeah, micah, no law against sitting' an' sippin'," "Huh, miss bertie?" "No." "Well, blue boy seems to be in pretty good shape, mark." "Somethin' bothering' you, mark?" "I" " I was just worried about miss bertie." "Marshal torrance" "Said she's like a fly tormenting' a horse." "Horse swishes its tail an' the fly gets hurt." "Well, this fly won't get hurt." "She knows the horse too well." "What do you mean?" "Well, I mean, miss bertie sees jennings clearer than any" "Of us." "She's drivin' 'im to take a good look at himself." "A man like jennings isn't used to doin' that." "Yeah, but- but what happens if he does?" "Well, that's a good question, mark." "Uh, pa?" "Can I go into town with you?" "No, you'd better stay here an' do your chores." "Yeah." "Whiskey." "And..." "Leave the bottle." "Top o' the mornin' to you, duke." "Two hands?" "All right." "We play over there." "Ah, no, no, no, no." "Uh, that's my lucky seat." "The marshal." "Call." "3 kings." "Better luck next time, mr." "Jennings." "It's your deal." "Can't you stop that sniffling'?" "No." "Open..." "For $100." "Mmh." "I'll call you $100." "An' I'll raise you $100." "Why, mr." "Jennings, how could you have the 8 of clubs in your" "Hand?" "I saw the bottom of the deck when the cards were cut." "She doesn't know what she's talkin' about." "My eyesight is excellent, mr." "Jennings." "If you've got the 8 of clubs." "You accusing' me of bottom dealing'?" "Show me your cards." "All right, boys, fold your hands an' split the pot." "We are not gonna split anything, sheriff." "I said fold your hands." "Why don't you raise yours, sheriff," "An' stand back by that window?" "This is a fool move, jennings." "Huh, I'm not even heeled, see." "Now, you pick up those cards." "Got a hunch I'm gonna have me a killin' on this hand." "Now, you step back there." "Mr. Jennings, this has gone too far." "I said, step back!" "Well, I- dear!" "Now, you wanted to see my hand, didn't you?" "Well, it's gonna" "Cost you $100 more to do that." "Drop it!" "Go on an' try it." "Go on." "Go for it." "You all right, micah?" "Fine, lucas boy." "Jennings, you're under arrest." "Come on." "Marshal, use these." "Thanks, come on." "Oh." "Oh, I think I need some sarsaparilla, please." "Sweeney, some sarsaparilla." "Yes, sir." "An' when you get to santa fe," "Just go to the marshal's office, the reward money will be there." "You're very kind, marshal." "Thank you very much." "An' no more bounty hunting'." "Oh, no, no, I promise." "Goodbye, marshal?" "Good bye, ma'am." "An' this is for you, dear, to remember me by." "Oh, thank you, miss bertie." "I'm gonna miss you, like anythin'." "Oh, well, I'm glad." "I'm glad." "You know, miss bertie?" "Mm?" "$2,000 is a mighty big stake to put in someone else's place." "The west needs folk." "Why, cowboys would ride 50 miles," "Just to taste your apple pie, an' see your smile." "You think I'm needed here?" "You're goin' to santa fe, miss bertie." "You've got enough" "To buy your own home, an' with that apple pie of yours," "An' that smile, you'd never be lonely." "Stage driver:" "All aboard." "Yes." "You really think I could?" "If you want to." "Stage driver:" "Giddy up!" "I'll be seein you!" "Bye, mccain." "Gosh, I wish she lived here, don't you, pa?" "Well, to be honest, son, I love miss bertie, too," "But she could be kinda..." "Hard on the nerves."
