Whoa.

What do you think? Well... Whoa, son. Whoa, now. Whoa.

A little liniment would fix him up.

There's some in the tack room. Hold on.

Whoa, now. Be right back.

Whoa. Whoa, son.

Appreciate you givin' me a lift. This out of your way?

I wouldn't have gone out of my way. Passed by Shiloh anyhow.

Oh.

Hey. I reckon the dang thing's broke for sure.

Sprained is all. Sprained is all, huh?

Yeah. Yeah, thank you.

Let me out of here! Give me a hand there.

Watch out, man. I got a bad foot.

There.

The Graingers are out of town if you're... Not my usual morning.

I just came to bring him. Come on, child. Thanks a lot.

Come on! Get me over to this porch here, will ya?

That old woman a caution?

She's just like a... Like a clenched fist.

Oh! You sure you're all right?

Well, I'm pretty tuckered.

You know a fella by the name of Trampas?

Still work here? Sure.

I'll see if I can find him for you. All right.

Trampas?

Trampas!

You know him? Yeah, I know him.

Hey, boy! Oh, it's... Luke!

You got nothin' to think about, boy.

You got nothin' to do but to feel.

First minute a man walks into this place,

don't matter how tough he is,

he looks at the walls and them bars and that ceilin',

and he's scared.

I've been here 18 years, and I've seen all kinds.

And every one of 'em gets the same feelin',

like you've been stomped in the gut.

Especially ones they're gonna hang.

Well, I still got that little piece of land up in Canada all free and clear.

- Anybody workin' it for you? - Just me.

Up here, and down there.

You come with me to Canada to help me work the place.

No more runnin' or hidin'.

If they come, they come.

All right!

Get us to Canada, you smoke!

Hey, you, get us out of here!

I'll be ridin' with you. We got plans together.

Right?

No, Luke. No, you go on alone.

You have a better chance of gettin' there on your own.

Here's a map to the place, boy.

Don't lose it now. No.

I'm free.

- What about Luke Nichols? - They didn't find him.

Maybe he made it.

Well!

Well, if you ain't a sight now for worn-out eyes.

You all right? All right? I'm like a new man, except for...

This here busted foot.

Ah, your foot isn't busted. It's just sprained.

Oh, you!

You and that old grouchy vegetable biddy.

You won't even allow an old man to have a broken bone or two...

if he feels like it.

Boy, how you been? Huh?

Oh, just fine, Luke. Just fine. You know, just workin'. Not doin' much.

Yeah. Say, that's a fine, big spread, this Shiloh ranch... what I seen of it.

You know, I was kind of proud of that dinky few

acres of mine until I took a peek around here.

You made it then? You're workin' your place in Canada?

Oh, I surely did.

I-I built me a cabin just like I told you I was gonna do,

and I cleared a few acres of ground and put in a crop of wheat.

Oh. Tall and green last time I seen it.

Well, uh, I wanted to write you, Luke.

But I didn't know what name you might be going under.

I wanted to explain why I didn't get up there like we planned.

You see, the Graingers, they...

No need to, boy.

Your being here gave me a place to run to.

Well, uh... What happened?

Well, I went into town one day to get me some supplies.

And somebody saw me who'd seen a dodger on me somewheres,

and off I went.

Sure hope somebody's had sense enough to harvest that dear wheat.

Sure was pretty.

Huh. You're being followed then, huh?

"Followed"? That ain't exactly the word for it.

I've been chased, pursued, tracked and hunted and wore down to the very bone.

By who? Bounty hunter.

I got about 500 greenback dollars on my head, boy.

Take a good look at me.

Wouldn't you say I was worth at least a thousand? Huh?

Well, you think you lost him?

Well, I'm here, ain't I?

Is that, uh... Is that vittles on that table over there?

Yep. I thought you might be hungry when you woke up.

Get me some.

Right about now, I could eat about half a cow.

Here. Oh. Thank you.

I've been living on berries and river water for the last three weeks or more.

Mmm!

Hey, Luke? Mm-hmm?

- Uh, what are your plans? - Plans?

You ain't changed your mind, have you, boy?

Changed my mind?

About us settin' up a spread together, just the two of us.

You know, that's been sort of a lucky piece to hang on to...

through a lot of long cold nights of runnin'.

Uh... Well, look. Why don't you finish eatin'.

I've got some chores to do. And then I'll come back, we'll talk about it.

It's kind of hard to explain. I, uh... I never

talk much about the time I was in prison.

I didn't wanna think about it.

I wanna get it so far behind me, I could think and sleep at the same time.

Well, you're not expected to have fond memories...

of waitin' around to be hanged, you know.

Yeah, I was scared.

Trumped-up charge or not.

About as scared as a man can get without going out of his mind.

Well, uh, that's where Luke comes in.

They threw me in the same cell with him.

See, Luke had this dream...

about breaking out and settin' up a ranch in Canada.

Well, he... he got me so involved in his dream...

that I forgot about being scared.

And now it's time for you to pay your dues.

Well, Luke's not an old man...

with a "past due" bill for a favor in his pocket.

He wouldn't be here if he...

didn't think I'd wanna be part of his dream.

How do I tell him?

I don't know.

Well, uh, you think he could stay around for a while...

until he can get on his feet?

It'd be risky for both of ya. Yeah.

I mean, there might be other bounty hunters, or the same one.

Right about that.

On the other hand...

How's the grub? Fine. Thanks.

Feelin' better? Oh, better than I was, that's for sure.

You're one of the hands, ain't ya? Yeah. Name's Harper.

Howdy. I'll be around if you need anything.

- Oh, Harper? - Yeah?

You folks, uh...

You folks are kind of fond of Trampas, ain't ya?

I don't know about that.

But Shiloh wouldn't be Shiloh without him.

How's your foot? Oh!

A lot better. Just about unswolled.

I couldn't sleep. Me neither.

Must've just about slept myself out.

Oh, oh! Thanks... Thanks for the duds.

You're welcome.

What, uh... What's on your mind, boy?

Oh.

Nothin'. Nothin'?

Sure hate to see you with somethin' on it.

Well, it's... It's nothing important.

Come on, Trampas.

Got anything to do with me?

Well, I... I guess it has.

Spit it out.

No use holdin' it in till you choke on it, huh?

Well...

I... I don't know how to say it.

All right.

Let me say it for you. You like it here.

I guess I do.

Yeah.

Well, that's... that just purely delightful, boy.

Don't you worry about me. I'm gettin' along real fine now.

Don't need no help at all.

Why, I'll be out of here and out of your hair before the first light.

Wait. You're... You're in no shape to travel.

Besides, you just got here.

We got a lot of catching up to do. I talked to the foreman.

He said you could stay on a while, and... well, at least until you were ready to...

You figure you owe me somethin', boy?

Look, if you hadn't taken me in on your prison break,

I would've been hung three days before Grainger

could've cleared me of that murder charge.

Hmm.

All right, Trampas. Wouldn't be so bad stayin' here a while longer.

Well, let's get some sleep.

Maybe I could use more than I thought.

- Luke? - Huh?

Good night.

Good night, boy.

Excuse me.

Something I can do for you, mister?

Maybe you could give me some information.

Maybe.

There's a man from these parts. Cowhand, I think.

He was involved in a prison break about a year ago.

Everybody's forgotten all about that.

It was a case of mistaken identity anyhow.

Folks here in Medicine Bow like Trampas, mister.

Trampas. That's the name.

Now, maybe you could help me remember the name of the ranch.

Depends on why you wanna know.

Oh, I don't mean him any harm. As a matter of fact,

I might be able to do him some good.

Well, all right. The name of the ranch you're looking for is Shiloh.

Shiloh? Much obliged.

Morning.

Howdy.

I'm looking for a man with the name of Trampas.

Can you tell me where I can find him? He could be most anywhere.

Well, maybe you could give him a message for me.

Tell him I've got a business proposition.

Say there's $100 in it for him if he looks me up at the hotel in Medicine Bow.

- The name's Bracken. - I'll tell him.

Thank you.

Luke.

I thought I'd never find you. No need to, boy.

There wasn't any need for you to run off either.

I just figured it'd be easier that way, that's all.

Not easier. Foolish, maybe.

Remember once I asked you...

if you felt you owed me somethin'?

Well, you do. You owe me respect.

Respect of a growed man who got along just fine...

all by himself more than 30 years before you was born.

Well, I don't see anything disrespectful about trying to help a friend.

I reckon you're right.

Now, I... I don't think I got another quarter mile in me anyway.

He said his name was Bracken, and you can find him at the hotel in town.

Now what do we do, boy?

You sure he's left? You haven't seen him hanging around since then?

No. Somethin' wrong?

Yeah. Come on.

What do you got in mind, boy?

Well, I'm not sure yet. But one way or another,

we gotta find you a nice remote hiding place...

until I can get this fella Bracken off your back.

Say. Remember the Widow McCloud?

The who? The vegetable woman.

I got me a feelin' I ain't gonna likes this.

No, sir, not one bit.

See? I told you! Now, just a minute. Luke.

Uh, Mrs. McCloud, it wouldn't hurt to have a hand around here...

for a couple days.

The place could use a little fixin' up.

Looks like he could use a little fixin' up himself.

This ain't no foundlin' home. I ain't no foundlin'.

What about that leg? Oh, it's all right. It's just sprained.

What'd I tell you? Let's get out of here!

I don't stay no place I'm not welcome! Luke... Hold on a minute.

It won't cost you a penny. Just meals.

Well, maybe I could use a little help.

Well, fine. It's settled then.

So long, Luke. Now, wait a minute, Trampas!

You... Bye.

Name's Nichols. Luke Nichols.

Clarissa McCloud.

Folks around here call me Mrs. McCloud.

You gonna stand there jawin' all day,

or are you gonna do some work?

Just lead me to it.

You're Trampas, aren't you?

You Bracken?

That's right.

I followed you from Shiloh. Watched you stash the old man away and leave.

Figured you'd come here lookin' for me. What now?

That's a pretty heavy penalty... aiding a fugitive.

And a nice fat reward for bringing one in.

- Dead or alive. - Why didn't you kill him?

I didn't see any point in tangling with you.

You're tangling with me now.

You've got a problem, friend.

That so? You kill me, it's cold-blooded murder.

You warn the old man to run off, and I'll find him and bring him in.

- Or kill him. - You could involve the sheriff.

Yeah. I could do that.

Come on. You would've already done it.

No, we live in a sentimental age, my friend,

and you're right in the middle of it.

I've been watching you. You've gone to a lot of trouble for that worthless old man.

All right. What's on your mind?

He's worth $500 to me dead or alive.

That's a fact. Less trouble dead, and it's legal.

Now, why would I go give up my hard-earned $500?

All right. Why would you? 'Cause I can see a chance to make some more.

Like I said, you went to an awful lot of trouble...

for that old man.

I'll settle for $1,000.

This is Monday afternoon. You bring it to me by Wednesday dawn,

and I'll go on my way nice and peaceful.

What's to stop you from, uh, stickin' around and tryin' for 1,500?

I don't wanna antagonize you.

I just wanna protect my investment.

I'll have to think about it.

Of course, part of the deal is that you stay

away from him until you bring me the money.

I don't want you warning him.

I'll be watching from that hillside opposite the farm.

And if you go near him in the next 36 hours, I'll kill him where he stands.

I haven't made any deals with you, bounty hunter.

Of course you have.

You have no choice.

If I can't raise the money in time...

Five hundred's better than nothin'.

♪ Oh, don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike ♪

♪ Who crossed the big mountain with her lover Ike with two yoke of oxen... ♪♪

That's blackmail, pure and simple, and you're goin' along with it.

Well, like the man said, I don't have much of a choice.

Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that blackmail almost never works?

At the very least, you'll have this fellow on your back as long as Luke's alive.

There's always the chance that Bracken'll play it straight. Yeah, sure.

There's always the chance the sun won't come up tomorrow morning too.

Well, what do you want me to do then? Let him kill Luke?

You could talk to Luke, try to persuade him to give himself up to the sheriff.

He'll never do it. Bracken'll never let me get near him.

He'll kill Luke first, believe me.

Well, then you can talk to Sheriff Abbott without talking to Luke.

Maybe he can get him out of there without any interference from Bracken.

What do you want me to do, send Luke back to prison?

Well, at least he'd have his life.

His life? How would you like to spend the rest of your life in prison?

He's a convicted killer.

He killed a man who killed his brother, and he served 18 years for it.

Have you thought about trying to get him a good lawyer?

Look.

This idea of blackmail doesn't sit easy with me.

I'm just... I'm trying to buy some time. Time to get a lawyer.

Time to maybe get Luke...

to take another chance at the law.

A thousand dollars worth of time.

You can have anything I've got or anything I've saved...

or anything I can beg or borrow...

to help pay for a lawyer.

But I'm not gonna loan you one red cent for blackmail.

I'm sorry, but I mean it.

- I need to take tomorrow off. - All right.

Hey. If you change your mind...

Thanks.

Mighty fine vittles.

You hear me?

Best grub I had in a month of Sundays. Ain't no more.

Oh, I ain't askin' for no more. I'm plumb full up.

What do you want then?

Well, I, uh...

I thought you might ask me in for a spell.

What fer?

What fer? Well, just to be friendly, woman.

T'ain't fittin'.

Uh... Why? Why ain't it fittin'?

Must've been born in a barn.

Well, I don't see what a barn has got...

Oh.

All right. All right. As long as we're pretendin',

you're 16, and I'm just going on 20.

Let's pretend that your folks are sittin' over there by the fire...

watchin' every move we make, huh?

How about that? You can bed down on the porch!

Oh, I was just gonna...

Shh.

Poor lonesome old bat.

There you are. Five, 10, 15, 20,

25, and $30.

Are you sure you want the whole 30, or would you rather...

I held back five dollars and threw in that old saddle over there?

All right. I reckon I need a saddle.

Howdy.

Get much for the saddle? Enough.

Well, I'll bet you a dollar of it.

On what?

That you won't be able to go through with it.

You got any special reason for bein' in town today?

I had some errands to run.

I'll be around if you... Thanks.

What do you think you're doin'? Oh, hey!

I found these flower seeds on a shelf in the barn.

Wastin' time is not part of our bargain, Mr. Nichols.

You call plantin' flowers a waste of time?

First of all, these flower seeds are 15 years old or more.

Second, if you was to plant 'em, the chickens'd get the seeds.

And third, even if the chickens didn't get the seeds...

and they was to grow by some miracle,

there ain't no profit in 'em at all!

And that, Mr. Nichols, is what I call a plain and simple waste of time.

Whoo-wee!

You know, that's more words than I heard you say altogether since I got here!

- That's all you're gonna hear. - Now, hold on there a minute!

- I got a few things to say of my own. - Now, ain't that a surprise.

First of all, seeds'll grow, old or young, if you give 'em some water.

Second, I'll string some wire along here to keep the chickens out.

And third, 'bout that there profit matter,

you and me is gonna sit down and have a little talk right now.

Mighty bossy for a hired hand.

I was a person...

before I was a hired hand.

I even got a suspicion you was one once.

Now, are you gonna come up here on the porch...

and sit down and have a cool drink of water and a little talk with me...

or not?

Well!

That's a step in the right direction anyway. I ain't thirsty.

Sure you are. You been out there in that hot sun.

Well, just a sip then.

I don't know why I bother with you.

I surely don't.

'Cause you have got to be purely the most cantankerous individual I have ever met.

However, I've, uh...

I've sorta taken a liking to you, so I'm gonna tell you why.

I don't need no favors, thanks.

That's right. You just go on. You don't need nothin' or nobody.

No, sir. You just go on workin' night and day, keeping yourself to yourself,

probably sticking nickels in an old sock so you can die with dignity.

Have you been nosyin' around here?

No, I ain't interested in your sock full of nickels, woman.

I tell you why.

'Cause I ain't interested in dyin' with dignity. There ain't so such thing.

You ever seen anybody die?

A husband and four young 'uns. Cholera took 'em.

I got me a big mouth.

It's 'cause of your hands.

I been watchin' you work...

Weedin' and waterin'...

and pattin' the dirt like it was a livin' thing.

You got real lovin' hands, old woman.

I just thought they might like the feel of tendin' some flowers.

Well, I...

I don't reckon it would...

hurt none.

Pair of aces.

Well. Cleans me out. You, Pete?

No, I'll stick with it. Good.

Monongahela.

Two dollars.

Raise you two.

Cards?

Mr. Nichols? Eh?

You might as well come in.

Ain't no use totin' food all over the place.

- Well? - Me, oh, my, you...

You look real "purty" tonight, Clarissa.

Yes, sirree. Real purty.

What are you bawlin' for?

I got somethin' in my eye.

Ain't no use in lyin' about it, is there?

First time in 15 years or more...

anybody's called me by my name.

Well, 'bout time, I'd say.

Oh!

Mmm!

You know what? It's a mite chilly sleepin' on that back porch of yours.

I mean, um,

what I was thinkin' is, maybe you could use me

around here for more than just a day or two.

It wouldn't be hardly no trouble at all to throw up some kind of a lean-to...

against the side of the house.

Course, that depends on whether you want me to stay.

All you gotta do is ask me.

Well, I couldn't pay you much.

Oh, I don't need much. I don't need much.

Maybe, say, oh,

about, uh, $10 a month.

I reckon that's fair.

You could keep the place up and drive the wagon.

No, no, no! No drivin' the wagon.

I'd just as soon stay close to home, if it's all the same to you.

I expect, uh, you're wonderin' if I got somethin' to tell ya.

I figured you had.

You're mighty jumpy. Why don't you sit down.

Reckon I'm gonna have to trust you.

You ain't no blabbermouth, that's for sure.

I'm gonna give it to ya quick and fast with no fancy trimmings,

and afterwards if you want me to get, I'll git.

I, uh... I used to be a hard rock miner.

Me and my kid brother together.

I guess you could say we was born to it, just like our pa before us,

though I never did like it much.

We'd saved our money, me and the kid brother.

We got ourselves a little piece of land in Canada.

We was just gonna work a couple of months more.

Have enough money for stock and feed and such.

One day that mine boss, he...

got word that the main shaft might fall in any second.

Mean fella, that boss. Didn't care much for humans.

All he cared about was getting out another day's load of ore,

safe or not safe.

He sent 42 men down to that black hole to die.

And the shaft caved in.

They was crushed to death, most of them.

'Cept, you know, me. I got out.

My kid brother, he, uh...

I got his body out, all right.

Afterwards, they found me with a pick in my hand,

that mine boss lyin' at my feet in the dirt, dead.

I reckon you had cause. Not according to the judge.

I reckon a man servin' a life term...

spends most of his time plannin' how he can get out, you know, break out.

But it wasn't till after they threw Trampas in that cell with me...

I got up nerve enough to get out.

Afterwards, Trampas, he was proved innocent and he got off. He got home.

I just got...

all the way to Canada.

That's about all there is to it except, oh, yeah, the bounty hunter.

Chased me clear down here.

I was runnin' from him the day you picked me

up in your wagon. I'm hidin' out from him now.

Now, if you want me to get on, I'll understand.

I turned myself to stone the day my last young 'un died.

I did it on purpose,

so I would never have to bury anybody I cared about again.

Might be someone comin' down that road right now to kill ya.

Ain't that true?

Mr. Nichols.

You sure?

Can't be sure of nothin', I reckon,

if'n you're flesh and blood.

Let's go in.

There.

I'm out.

Well, I'd be happy to let you try and win your money back.

No, thanks.

♪♪

Raise 50.

You've got over a hundred there.

You in or out?

What's making you so nervous, son?

Only $1,100, $1,200 in that pot.

Well.

Did you win?

You won.

I quit with just enough money to hire a lawyer.

Matter of fact, I woke him up to hire him.

What'd he say?

Well, he... he said he'd do the best he could.

Was he optimistic?

Noncommittal.

He, uh...

Well, Luke served 18 years.

Good prison record.

Course, he did escape.

But the lawyer said that... well, that it might help if he turned himself in.

Maybe he could make up for that.

Well, I guess that's your first problem.

Yeah.

Anything I can do?

Well, I gotta talk to Luke, but I gotta get to him so I can talk to him.

Well?

Bracken's got the widow's place covered like a blanket...

from the hillside across the way.

From his view, he can see anybody comin' or goin'.

What you need is someone to distract Bracken for a while.

Yeah. Somebody who's cool and handy.

Somebody I can trust.

I hate to ask anybody to do me a favor like that one.

Yeah.

Are you asleep?

Best part of the day.

Hate to waste it sleepin'.

Guess I'd better start my chores.

Hey! What?

What are we whisperin' for? Huh?

Well, come on out and set you up a spell.

Chickens ain't even up yet.

Gee, it's nice, ain't it?

Yeah.

Sure is.

Bracken can see everything from here on.

We'd better split up. Yeah.

Give me a chance to work my way up to him. Watch yourself.

You too.

So, would you... Yeah? Hmm?

Well, I-I mean...

Come on, don't turn yourself inside-out.

I'm the hired hand, you're the boss.

Just snap your orders out just like that.

Chickens need feeding while I'm fixing breakfast.

Hiya, boy! Come on inside. I wanna talk to you.

Let's talk out here. It's a fine mornin'. No, inside.

Drop it.

Face me.

Drop the gun belt, nice and slow.

Who are you?

A friend.

What are you doing?

Getting comfortable. I suggest you do the same.

- That man's wanted. - I heard.

He's my bounty.

Is that so?

Sit down!

Whatever it is, we might as well have some coffee.

It's all right, Trampas. She knows.

Oh.

You know that hillside across the way? Yeah.

Well, Bracken's been up there for the last

couple of days with his finger on the trigger.

Why didn't he pull it? He's waiting for me to bring him $1,000.

Why didn't you tell me that before this?

Well, he, uh, warned me to stay away until I paid him.

I was trying to think of a way to raise it.

Well, I reckon there ain't no bags of gold buried behind the Shiloh bunkhouse, boy.

- Did you raise it? - No.

I-It's all right, though.

The Virginian's got him covered.

Course we can't keep the lid on him forever.

What's on your mind, son?

- Well, I... - Spit it out.

Uh...

I want you to turn yourself in.

You mean, to the sheriff?

Yeah. It's the only way I can figure it out, Luke.

I'll go get Mrs. McCloud's wagon and...

You really mean it, don't ya? You got it all worked out.

I ain't gonna die in no prison! I'd rather get

it right now out there with those chickens!

Luke, you can't run anymore.

It's true. You said it yourself.

I've talked to a lawyer, I got some money, and he says there's a chance.

Chance? I'm running out of chances.

Call your friend off. I'll take my chances with Bracken.

What's that?

That's, uh...

A sock full of nickels.

That's almost $1,300.

I don't want your life savings, Clarissa.

Not a life. A stone.

Luke.

There's always gonna be a bounty hunter around somewhere.

All right.

- Go hitch up the wagon. - No, y-you take him the money.

Luke...

It's my money.

Are you gonna hitch up that wagon?

Luke.

Lawyer promised he'd go all the way with you.

We will too.

Sure.

Thanks, Trampas.

What's that mean? Means Luke's gonna turn himself in.

- And you two get the money. - Nope.

What then?

The satisfaction.

Get on your horse.

Where we going?

Into town.

Soon as Luke's safely in jail, you're on your own.

What about my weapons?

You can come back for 'em later. Let's go.

Sorry we didn't get to know each other before, Mrs. McCloud.

No offense, but you're a real fine woman offering to give Luke that money.

Still might come in handy for the lawyer.

Might at that.

How you holding up back there, Luke?

Luke?

Luke!

Luke! Wait!

Well, where is he?

- You didn't see him? - No.

Well, gentlemen, I appreciate your company.

Trampas!

Now, Mrs. McCloud, I guess you'd better go on home.

Nothin', huh? Nope.

How 'bout yourself? No.

Thanks.

Well, we can look for him some more in the morning.

Yeah. You know, he got away before.

Yeah.

Trampas, Luke has made his decision.

We're just gonna have to live with it.

He may have to die with it.

Luke. Luke?

I'm tired.

Tired of hidin'. I'm tired of runnin'.

Maybe I'm even a little tired of livin'. No, no.

Could've killed that fella Bracken.

Had him right in my sights.

Don't know why I didn't.

Nobody'd miss him or mourn him.

I'd be solvin' my problems myself.

I've been trouble right along.

First you,

then the widow.

Spent too much time in that prison...

lettin' other folks do for me.

I knew you couldn't murder him, Luke.

Murderer already, ain't I?

Tried and convicted.

It was after you saw your kid brother lying in the dirt, dead.

Reckon you're right.

Reckon I couldn't kill him.

I'm stuck with you...

and the lawyer.

I'll, uh... I'll ride into town with you.

Wait for ya outside.

Sure is a...

fine morning.

What was that?

He's my bounty.

Get out of the way.

You did all you could, Trampas.

Don't you worry, boy.

Man in his line of work won't live long.

Sure is a fine morning.

What do you want?

Well, uh,

today's Luke's funeral.

We thought you'd, uh... I ain't interested in what you thought.

He's dead, ain't he?

Go on and bury him.
