"Colt .45"

Produced by Warner Brothers.

From the entertainment capital of the world

produced for television by Warner Brothers.

I'll be here a day, maybe two, I'm not sure.

- Oh, your name's Colt ? - That's right.

Then you'd better give me that key back

a room has already been arranged for ya.

- Arranged ? - Yeah.

This is your room, 241.

Didn't you know about it ?

Yeah, sure, |-I forgot.

Tall fellow took care of it, didn't he ?

Tall, well, now..

I just don't exactly remember.

I never seen him before in my life.

Colt ?

Hello, friend.

You've been lookin' for this man for about 8 months, haven't you ?

Where is he ?

Bullock.

You don't need that, I'm not armed.

Kinda changed, haven't I ?

You look a lot different than when I took you in.

Maybe Kansas state prison did me a favor.

I doubt if anybody'd recognize me

unless I wanted to give myself up.

- That what you here for ? - Yes.

I'm not blamin' you for what you had to do.

You played it straight with me all the way down the line.

Now I need your help.

I thought you were here to turn yourself in.

I am.

Somebody needs that $500.

You tune me in and give them the money.

What if I refuse ?

I could turn you in and keep the $500 myself.

You don't work that way, I counted on that.

Who gets the money ?

I met her a couple of months ago.

She..

Imagine me fallin' in love.

I even wanted to marry her, lead a decent life.

An escaped convict ?

With a life sentence hangin' over my head

now that's a laugh ?

She isn't gonna live unless she gets medical help in St. Louis.

What about this ?

She doesn't know.

She thinks my name's Joe Norris. A rancher.

We were on our way to California when she took ill.

- Where is she now ? - Baton.

It's about 10 miles from here.

Look, just give her the money

get her on the stage to St. Louis

before I officially turn myself over to you.

I don't have $500.

Well, wire the company for it.

Put the money in Julie's hands

and when you collect the reward pay back the company.

Look, I'm not gonna run out on you.

Come with me to Baton and I'll stay in your sight

till the hand's played out.

Well, first let's look at the deck.

Julie.

Julie, it's me.

Joey, my darling !

How are you, honey, I went lookin' for a job

that's what I did, you think I'd run out on you ?

Well, you weren't in you room and nobody

saw you leave I didn't know what to think.

Oh, this is my friend, Chris Colt.

He sells guns for the Colt company.

- How do you do ? - How do you do ?

He's lending me the money to get you to St. Louis.

- Lending us the money, Joe ? - Better than that.

He's giving me a job with his company

to help pay it back.

"Il tell you more about that later.'

Here look. Look what I brought you.

Joe ! Come on.

You thought I ran out on you, how do you like that ?

Maybe I shouldn't give you this.

You know, when I saw it I just couldn't help buying it

just for you, honey.

Oh, Joe, it's beautiful.

Well, I guess I better get downstairs and wire the company.

See you later, ma'am.

Oh... thanks.

When I |left you were sleeping, I just couldn't wake you.

Joe, when I'm well and strong, I'm..

...I'm coming right back to you.

Where will you be waiting for me ?

Well, we'll have to do it up fancy.

Not in a town like this.

Have you ever been to San Francisco ?

Oh !

Julie. Julie.

- I'm sorry, Joe. - It's okay.

You alright now, honey ?

Well, that's where we'll go, San Francisco.

They've got a place out there called the Princess Hotel.

And when you're all well that's where we'll meet.

In the crystal room of the Princess Hotel.

We'll have champagne and all the trimmings.

And nothing will ever separate us again.

We'll have our whole life together.

The money'll be here tomorrow.

Good.

Do you know what you're doing ?

This will put you away for life.

She's worth it.

I don't ever want her to know about me.

The truth I mean.

When, when she's well tell her that I..

Well, that a gun went off by accident, will you do that ?

- I'll do that. - Thanks.

Strange how a man throws his life away

before he realizes how good it can be.

For one rotten job.

- A bank teller was killed... - Well, I didn't kill him.

The other joker did it.

You were in on it. It's the same thing.

You didn't have to do that.

Force of habit.

Black as the devil.

Hot as fire.

Pure as an angel.

And sweet as love.

I didn't know he was a poet, did you, Mr. Colt ?

Well, I'm not. It's an old saying.

Says so right here on the coffee pot.

The west bound stage is comin' in.

It means the one for the east will be here by noon.

Joe, I do think I should go and see the doctor before I leave.

Look, why can't we have him come here for a change ?

No, I|.. There's no need in that.

- Alright, I'll go with you. - You don't have to, Joe.

I have to go to the telegraph office and see

if the money has arrived. Can I help ?

I'd be most happy, Mr. Colt.

Just let me get my things.

Thanks for keeping me off the street.

- That's part of the package. - Yeah.

There's no sense of taking a chance of being recognized

when we're so close to the finish.

That's right.

Alright folks, better get inside

we're about ready to leave.

Come on, folks, we gotta hurry it up.

Well, we're leavin', mister, get in.

I'm not leavin' now.

Throw out my bags, will ya ?

When are you people gonna start makin' up your minds ?

Git up !

Yaw !

Did you get it ?

Better get started, stage is coming through at 12:30.

Hello, baby.

- Roper ! - Julie !

Julie, honey, I got it.

It's all here, $500.

Oh, don't worry, honey, it won't be hard for me to pay it back.

We've only got an hour before the coach leaves.

Joe, wait.

I mean, give me a few minutes, will you ?

A-after all, a girl wants to look her best for..

...for the man she's gonna marry.

You always look beautiful to me, always.

All I want now is for you to get well.

That boy is sure familiar ?

It's nobody you ever knew. How'd you get in here ?

Told the clerk I was a friend of yours.

Real good friend.

What do you want ?

"'You've done real fine since we last met, haven't you ?"

Marriage in the offing, $500 in your mitt.

Better dealing federal, Julie ?

I've missed you baby since I was in the pen.

Cut it out, Roper.

Sure not like it was.

Well, I guess there wouldn't be.

You know, I'd come out of prison lookin' for you

"you'd flown the coop, sittin" red, doll

you drop you cards on the table one night and never come back.

Roper, won't you let me alone ? Please !

Look, this is the first decent thing

that's ever happened to me

in my whole life.

Come off it, Julie.

You're still my girl.

Well, you have changed, haven't you, there was a time...

I don't wanna hear about those times I wanna forget it.

Can't you understand that ?

You act like you fall in love.

You saying it just dirties the word.

Now, you wouldn't like me to tell that joker

what sort of a lady he's marrying, now would you ?

Okay, Roper, what do you want ?

Give me.

All of it.

You'll make it back.

You always were a gal who landed on her feet

with coins stuck between her toes.

What can I do for you, sir ?

I'll need two fast horses this evening.

- You got 'em ? - Yes, sir.

Hey, Murphy.

You ain't seen nothin', see what I just got Cora.

And she says I never think of her.

How do you like those jewels ?

What did you do, Finny, steal it ?

'Sure you've never earned enough money to buy a thing like this.'

Steal it I did.

Ten dollars. How do you like that ?

Some lady down at the ticket office wanted a fast $10

to get out of town, and I jumped real quick.

Guess she didn't know its worth.

Joe.

Why'd you sell it, ma'am ?

When there's $500 in that purse over there ?

Where's the money ?

Mr. Colt, please, all I'm asking you to do is just

let me get out of town.

So you can take somebody else for $500.

Where is it ?

There's a man downstairs in a brown checkered suit.

He's waiting for a stage coach.

His name is Roper and he's..

...known me for quite a while.

He was here about an hour ago, and..

...he said that if I didn't give him the $500

he'd... tell Joe who I was.

Mr. Colt, do you want Joe to know, or..

...are you really his friend ?

Well, a man planning to marry you should know

who and what you are.

Not necessarily.

Anyway, I'll be long gone before he ever knows

what happened to me.

And that way he can keep his dream.

I wish you wouldn't play games with me, ma'am.

I'm not playing games, mister.

A guy like Joe Norris deserves something better

than to be told that the woman he loves is nothing but a..

You think I paid that $500 to protect myself, don't yo ?

Mr. Colt I'm..

...I'm not going to St. Louis for an operation.

The truth is, I'm..

...I'm not gonna get any better, and..

...there's nothing that anybody can do about it.

I've been told that I..

...I've got a year to live, maybe.

Two if I'm lucky.

And you don't have to take my word for it.

You just step down the street and ask old doc.

Why doesn't Joe know all this ?

I've kept it from Joe.

Why do you think that-that I've never let the doc

come here to the hotel, why do you think

that I've always gone to him ?

And the money ?

Well... when Joe offered to send me back east..

...I accepted.

I thought that was..

...the easiest way of saying goodbye.

Mr. Colt, Joe's got a good future.

I-I'd only be a burden to him.

You love him that much ?

"Julie.'

Julie, the stage is coming.

You better get ready.

I'm not stealing your girl, Joe.

She asked me to get her ticket for her.

Joe, hold me tight.

Real tight.

It's okay.

We won't say goodbye, I'll just put you on the stage

like you're going to the next town

and you'll be back by nightfall.

Come on, honey, I'll take you down.

Oh, no, Joe, I..

...| don't want you to take me down.

Why don't we just say goodbye here ?

Hey, you.

The lady in room 211.

Is she and her gent leaving on the stage ?

They ain't checked out yet.

What room is he in ?

214.

- Where is he ? - Where's who ?

- This is my room. - This is 214 isn't it ?

- That's right. - Come off it, mister.

Where's your friend Bullock ?

Across the way romancin' the lady ?

You've got the wrong man.

My friends name is Norris.

If you don't know about him it makes it tough on you.

I knew him in Kansas state prison before he escaped.

I heard his voice before, never did a thing for me.

But, um..

...now this rings a bell.

That's not Norris.

But the voice is Bullock's.

And I aim to collect that $500 for his capture.

You're wastin' your time, mister.

Oh ?

I've already captured him.

Yeah, I bet you have.

Why ain't he in the room with you ?

Just save your breath, mister.

I'll go get him.

Stay where you are.

You're not getting anybody.

Alright, sit down.

What's goin' on here ?

I came in and found him going through my things.

Pulled a gun on me.

Must not have been a good shot.

Better call the undertaker.

- Either of you know him ? - No.

Never saw him before in my life.

Well, ain't that funny.

He said he knew both of you.

Joe, I-I've changed my mind, I would like you

to take me down to the stage.

Alright.

What a man'll do to grab a few dollars.

Alright, Julie, no tears, please.

- You take care of yourself... - I'm not much good at writing...

That's alright, we'll just save up all of the feelings

till 1-I see you again.

We'll make it up when you walk into

the princess hotel.

- Thank you, Mr. Colt. - 'All aboard.'

"Yaw !'"

"Yaw ! Yaw ! Yaw !'"

Looks like the sheriff's gonna have a bus day.

Yeah.
