Colt !

Hey, friend. You gonna look out that window day and night ?

You know, I'm getting a little tired

lookin' at the back of your head.

What is it you see out there that's so interesting ?

Lookin' for a way out of this rat trap.

Three days in here, you've gone plum local.

All I ever seen out that window

is the backend of Henderson's Diner.

That depends on what you're looking for.

I see a deserted street.

Horses outside the diner.

While their owners are inside feeding their faces.

There goes our hungry little deputy.

Over to eat his dinner.

That just means steak and potatoes for them

and more slop for us.

Or a way out of here.

The sheriff will be alone for an hour.

What are you plannin' on doin' ?

Squeeze in through these bars ?

'No. Walk out.'

It'll take the two of us. You ready ?

For what, a bullet in my head ?

'No, thanks. Look, friend.'

I don't take much to gamblin'.

But when I do, I want the odds stacked in my favor.

What do you want, a written guarantee ?

You're gonna help me whether you like it or not.

Well now, what'd you go and do that for ?

"'What are you, out of your mind ?"

Sheriff ! Get me out of here. We got a wild man.

That's right, Sam. Keep yelling.

Look, friend. Please calm down.

That did it. Now, you got me real mad.

Sheriff ! Sheriff !

You're making too much noise, Sam.

That's right.

I'm making too much noise, that's it.

Calm down, friend, calm down.

What's going on in here ?

'Chico's gone loco, sheriff.'

Let me out of here, sheriff or I'll kill him.

Drop it, Bass.

Are the odds stacked high enough for you now, Sam ?

Stacked just the way I like 'em.

Get that horse whip.

Hey ! Hold it.

Hold it, Fran.

- What are you doing ? - Forget it.

I think I got Bass in the leg.

I said to forget it.

The man with Bass is Chris Colt, army intelligence.

Bass lifted a $20,000 payroll and no one knows where it is.

- It's up to Colt to find it. - What about a posse ?

We'll form one but we'll lose the trail. Come on.

Couldn't have gotten a better job of doctorin'

if I'd had a genuine St. Louis sawbone.

See if you an stand on it, Sam.

Oh, it'll be good as new.

Why, if I had me a gal, I'd teach you the Virginia reel.

Now, go easy, 'cause I don't aim to carry you.

Why, I feel as frisky as a hound dog chasing a cotton tail.

You know, you're a mighty handy man to have around.

Sure are full of surprises though.

You really had me riled up front of that jail.

Gotta admit it worked.

Well, I know quite a few tricks.

We travel together, might show 'em to you.

You're a little too slick to be nothing but a saddle tramp.

Where are you really from ?

Oh, lots of places.

But I don't like questions. Chris is the name and that's it.

It's a deal. You got yourself a partner.

But first you gotta oblige me, by stopping at San Antoine.

Why not ? No skin off my teeth.

What do you got there ?

Prettiest little gal you ever did see.

"The Village Blacksmith" by Henry Wordsworth Longfellow.

"Under the spring chestnut tree

"the village smithy stands

"the smith, a mighty man as he

"has large and sinewy hands.

The muscles of his brawny arms are as strong as iron band."

Go on, Emily. Go on.

I..

I can't remember anymore, daddy.

Well, never you mind, angel face

you did fine.

Oh, did you ever see a prettier face ?

Cute as a button.

You know, you've grown a whole lot since the last six months.

Correct word is growing, daddy.

Well, yes.

[, I guess you're right but..

It doesn't really make any difference

so long as you know what I mean.

Ain't she a humdinger, Chris ?

'They teach her right here in school, don't they ?'

"You know, I heard that this was'

'the best school in the whole state.'

And nothing's too good for my little girl.

You happy here, ain't ya ?

Well, what's the matter ?

They don't like me.

- 'Who don't like you ?' - 'The other girls.'

Why not ?

They say..

Come on, Emily. Spit it out.

That you're bad. That you're an outlaw.

"'You're not. Are you, daddy ?"

Oh, now you, you oughtn't to believe

what the other kids say, Emily.

Daddy, please take me with you.

I don't like it here.

Sweetheart, I can't take you with me

Daddy has to do a lot of traveling.

But I wanna be with you.

And we have, I've got it all planned out.

I'm gonna leave enough money here

'so as they can make a fancy lady out of you.'

I don't wanna be a fancy lady.

I don't care about money.

They don't like me.

Well, I'm gonna make 'em like you.

You leave it to me, sweetheart.

I'm gonna have a talk with Ms. Pilgrim.

Mr. Chris, can't you make daddy take me ?

I'm afraid not, Emily.

He spent a great deal of money to keep you in this school.

Then why does Ms. Pilgrim always ask

when he's going to pay the bill.

Hasn't he sent you any money in the last six months ?

No. Oh, but he did send me a beautiful pony and saddle.

But no money.

'No.'

I can't be held responsible

for the other children's attitude towards your daughter.

Well, she's just as good as anybody else

and don't you forget it.

I don't propose to discuss

the relative merits of the girl.

I got time. Go ahead, discuss it.

- What's wrong with Emily ? - 'Nothing.'

But we..

But we have a reputation to maintain.

Maintain it.

Emily ain't doing no harm around here.

Let me be quite direct, Mr. Bass.

Your background, to say the least

is rather questionable.

Why, if I had known about it when Emily first came here

she never would've been admitted.

Why ?

What are you teaching here,

a bunch of angels ?

Why, there ain't a whoopstitch of difference 'tween my Emily

and the rest of your fancy pupils.

Except maybe she's a mite prettier and smarter.

Our girls come from some of

the finest families in the state.

Oh.

And you're afraid the daughter of Sam Bass

will turn the rest of them into horse thieves, is that it ?

Mr. Bass, I'm extremely busy.

Look, I'm willing to pay the goin' price.

You will have to relocate her in another school.

Now, that's the best solution for all concerned.

That's fine.

Where am I gonna start lookin' now ?

Ms. Pilgrim, I will give you the money

'for the next four years in advance.'

I'm sorry, Mr. Bass, I don't want your money.

Nor your daughter.

Now, you listen to me, you mealy-mouthed old maid.

Sam Bass ain't never begged nobody for nothin'

ever in his life and he ain't gonna start now.

And I think my daughter's too good for this school

and certainly too good for the likes of you.

Well..

Good day.

Let's move. Sam's got the kid out of school

and he's headed west.

Now that makes it real simple.

I told you this'd be the first place he'd be heading for.

'Come on, Arkansas, time's a wastin'.'

My finger's got that $20,000 itch.

Now, don't get overanxious, Jo.

We'll move in when the time is right.

Then we'll teach Mr. Bass a lesson

about neglecting old friends.

And now back to "Colt .45."

You'll have to keep up, Emily.

I'm trying, daddy.

Alright, alright, don't say it.

I didn't say a word, Sam.

I know what you're thinking.

As long as we keep ahead of the law, it's okay with me.

We do fifteen miles today, it'll be a miracle.

I know what you're thinking.

I told you you'd be better off in school.

Aah.

We'll be stopping soon, honey.

Go ahead and eat it.

I'm too tired.

I thought you said you were hungry.

[, I am.

Well, ha, ha, go ahead and eat.

I don't like pork and beans.

Well, what did you expect out here ?

Fried chicken and candied yams ?

Oh, here. Stop that sniveling.

Drink some of this coffee. It'll do you good.

Ms. Pilgrim always said we had to have milk.

Where in blazes are you supposed to get milk out here ?

- Where have you been ? - Getting this.

- Well, what is that ? - Milk.

Kid's gotta have proper food to grow right with.

How did you get it ?

Well, tweren't easy.

Almost got a load of buckshot

in my jeans gettin' it.

'Sam, I can't figure you out.'

One minute, you're yelling up a blue streak at the kid.

Now..

Bein' with Emily's kinda new to me, I..

I ain't hardly seen her but a few times

since her mom died seven years ago.

I'll wake her up and give her her milk.

'I leave her be.'

But she gotta drink it now. It'll be sour by morning.

Emily..

Emily, wake up.

Look what I got you.

I don't want any.

"Come on, sweetheart, drink some of this. Good for you.'

I'm tired. Let me sleep.

Come on now. Do as daddy says. Drink this.

You wanted some milk. I bring it to ya.

Correct word is "brought" and I don't want it now.

What do you mean, you don't want it now ?

I nearly got my head blown off gettin' it.

Now, you drink this.

- No. - Leave her be, Sam.

Keep out of this.

Sweetheart, I want you to drink this

do you hear ?

No.

You're nothing but a spoilt brat.

I oughta tan your hide.

Oh, stop that sniveling.

Stop it. You hear ?

Leave me alone.

'Emily, come back here !'

Emily !

She's had a hard day.

You gotta have a little patience

and understanding, Sam.

Don't go tellin' me how to raise my kid.

I've got enough on my hands without you butting in.

You're the most pig-headed man I ever met.

If you don't like the company,

you know which way the trail leads.

Any time you wanna get, get.

What is it, Emily ?

A snake !

Emily !

It bit me. It bit me.

Be very quiet, Emily.

That'll do it, Sam.

Fever seems to have gone down.

I'm not much good at saying thanks.

Sure was my lucky day when they tossed you in my cell.

Forget it.

Go to sleep now, sweetheart.

Me and my hot temper.

- Anything should happen... - She'll be alright, Sam.

We should find a fit place for her to stay

for a couple of days.

It'll take money

Oh, don't worry. I got plenty of that.

We can't take a chance of going back to San Antoine.

We could try Jasper Springs.

I knew a good woman there once.

Liz Sawyer. Bet she'd take Emily in.

Fine. We'll leave in the morning.

You turn in. Get some rest.

Oh, no. You get some sleep.

You've earned it.

Come on, sweetheart. I'll carry you.

No !

I can walk.

Let's ride, Sam.

I'm coming.

Looks like they're headed for Jasper Springs.

That must be where he got the money hid.

You really think Sam don't know who Colt is ?

No, I don't think so. The way they're traveling together.

My guess is that Colt's after the same thing we are.

Can't you just see Sam's face

when we tell him Colt's a government agent.

Come on. Let's go.

Thank you, Ms. Sawyer. I feel fine.

Sure you do. But you stay put.

Oh, you've got a wonderful daughter there, Sam.

A brave one too.

Liz, I've got to talk to you.

I like Ms. Sawyer. Are we gonna stay here long ?

For a while.

Where are you going ?

Well, I'm going to town for provisions.

I might bring you back a surprise.

Oh, good. Will you always be my friend ?

- Of course. - "'Mr. Chris ?"

Why can't daddy be like you ?

Emily

you mustn't be angry with your father.

'He loves you very much.'

Liz, I can't keep a 10-year-old girl

on the trail with me.

She needs a home.

You coming, Sam ?

Why don't you saddle up ? I'll be out with you in a minute.

Sam, why don't you try settling down ?

Oh, I can't.

It's just not in the cards. You know I gotta be on the move.

Well, I'd love to keep her but..

Well, it's been a scratchin' existence since Dave died.

I can't even afford a couple of hard hands

to put in the spring planting.

You don't have to worry about that. I got plenty of money.

No, Sam. Not that kind.

Oh, now, don't be stubborn. Money's money, ain't it ?

I got it just for Emily.

No, Sam. I don't want it.

Then what am I gonna do ?

Hold it !

Mister Colt.

Hello, Sam.

What do you two want ?

You didn't think that we were gonna let you keep

all that money for yourself, did you, Sam ?

We knew you'd wanna share it with a couple of old friends.

You're not gonna get a cent, either of you.

That money belongs to my Emily.

Sam, she'll never see it.

You've been tricked.

What are you talkin' about ?

Government man.

- Government man ? - "'Ever heard of Chris Colt ?"

Go ahead, ask him.

Chris Colt.

The army wants its money back.

You really are full of surprises.

I'll kill you.

You two can settle later.

But right now, we want our cut.

'$10,000. That's a fair shake.'

We'll leave the rest for you just for old times' sake.

None of you get any of it.

That's too bad, Sam.

Jo. Go get that kid.

Oh, now, wait a minute.

Alright, I'll split with you, but you leave that kid alone.

Now that's better.

Now you're being sensible.

Now, where is it ?

Okay, move out of the way.

Aha. Look at that beautiful money.

Pretty smart of you, Sam.

'Hiding the money in Emily's saddle.'

I thought so.

You can't be too careful about your friends, can ya ?

I'm sorry, Sam.

Daddy !

Don't kill him. Don't kill him.

He wasn't going to kill me, Emily.

"Your father just saved my life.'

Isn't that right, Sam ?

Yes, that's right.

I love you, daddy. Really, I do.

I know you do, sweetheart.

And I love you too.

There's a $2,000 reward

for the return of the money, Mrs. Sawyer.

I'll see that you get it.

It oughta keep you and Emily till Sam can get back.

'Thank you very much, Mr. Colt.'

Emily and I'll get along just fine.

I'll study hard while you're gone, daddy.

When you come back, I'll know the rest of that poem.

You do that, sweetheart.

Chris, didn't I tell you that Sam Bass had the prettiest

and smartest girl this side of creation ?

Bye, little sweetheart. See you soon.

- Bye, Liz. - Bye.
