Original subtitles

Light the candle, Willie.

Mr. Smith is going to show us the trick that made him famous.

Now wait a minute.

I realize that all you guys have heard

of my reputation with a gun.

But I don't do much of that anymore.

Kinda outgrown it.

I leave that up to the guys who just want to look good.

You know, the showboats.

Now when I pull a gun...

...I use it.

"Maverick."

Starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

Produced by Warner Bros.

A Warner Bros. Television production.

Well, that's it. What's the damage?

I'll make it an even 2000.

Fair enough. I enjoyed the action.

That's strange.

- What's strange? - My wallet.

I'm sure I had it when I left the hotel.

I'm sure you did. Try your back pocket.

It's not there. Somebody must have clipped it.

I'm sorry, but if you'll give me your address, I'd...

Oh, I keep moving around. My address keeps changing.

Look, friend, this is no con. When I lose, I pay off.

Two-thousand dollars doesn't mean that much to me.

I'll see that you get your money.

Well, that diamond stickpin you're wearing

must be worth something.

I'll just hold that for collateral.

Sorry, no deal. It's my trademark.

Kind of a lucky piece.

I'm sure it'll be lucky for me, too, until you pay off.

You insist?

I do.

Uh, just a minute. We're not through talking.

It's time for me to insist. The pin.

I'm sorry, marshal.

You saw what happened. He-he made the first move.

That's just as well.

I was lookin' for a reason to hold him.

- For questionin'. - Who is he?

That's one of the questions I aim to ask.

I also aim to find out what he's doin' in Denver.

I'll hold him for disturbin' the peace.

How long can you hold him on that?

Oh, a few days.

Can't you hold him longer on attempted robbery?

He tried to steal my tiepin.

Alright, Willie, we're ready. You're up, Bart.

Hey, how come you're always callin' the shots?

- Let Billy lead off. - I went first the last time.

Step back. Let me lead off.

- Good. - That's pretty good, huh?

- Yeah. - Mm-hmm.

Your shot, Frank.

- Ah, no. No. - Wasn't so good, huh?

[Cole] That makes two rounds yours, Frank.

You're up, Sam.

Ain't gonna be a fair shake.

I've been boozin' all day.

[Sam] You shoot.

Alright.

- Hey, that's good. - Yeah, pretty good.

- Again, Willie. - I-I'll get a longer candle.

That one, Willie. Light it.

I beg your pardon.

You gotta hold still, Willie.

- Ho-ho-ho! - Hey! Good, champ. Good.

- Alright, come on, let's go. - Come on, you buyin' a drink.

Alright, Frank, you're buyin', uh?

- Need a light, Willie? - Maverick!

Uh, uh, yes, thanks. Uh...

Uh, no, no no! Uh... What are you doing here?

Well, I was just passin' through, I thought

I'd stop by and do you a little favor.

Do us both a favor and get out.

Now is that any way to talk to an old friend?

We're closed. Understand?

Well, it sounded pretty lively from the outside.

There's nobody here, I tell you.

Willie, I just wanna make a little deal with you.

What's that worth?

Your life. That's what it's worth.

Well, took you long enough to get here.

- I'll round up the boys. - The boys?

Yeah. They're itchin' to get started.

Poker?

Yeah, poker.

Well, I'd like to, but...

Well, I'm a little short right now.

Uh this is all I've got.

That's all you need. Come on.

Uh, Willie, you should keep the place closed all the time.

You can get a much better-lookin' clientele.

He's the one we've been waitin' for, Belle.

I'll take him inside. You round up the others.

Hi.

- Hi. - I'm Belle Starr.

- Have we met before? - Oh, I don't believe so.

I am sure I'd have remembered.

But I've heard of you.

Well, I've heard of you, too.

Been wonderin' what you look like.

You got a nice pair of shoulders.

- You, too. - Do as I say, Belle.

We're wastin' time.

We've been holed up here for three days.

Another few minutes won't matter.

I'm glad you're here.

[Belle] Maybe we'll get a little action now, huh?

Always happy to oblige, Ms. Starr.

[Cole] You heard me, Belle. Get the others.

See you inside.

Shall we go?

Now?

Oh, by all means.

They tell me you're pretty good with a gun.

Oh, I do the best I can.

The ladies, too, huh?

Like I say, I do the best I can.

Lay off Belle. She belong to me. Understand?

Well, don't you think you oughta tell Belle that?

I'm tellin' you. And I won't tell you twice.

Alright, men, settle down.

You takin' over again, Younger?

Yeah. You got a beef?

We've been at each other's throats for three days.

Now that our man's here, let's shut up and let him talk.

[Cole] Right.

Just so it's understood, I'm in charge.

Alright, friend, on your feet

and speak your piece.

- Me? - Yeah, you.

We wanna know what you got in mind.

Yeah, what's your plan?

Plan?

Plans.

[Cole] Alright, play it cagey.

He wants to make sure

who he's doing business with.

Start off, Sam.

Sam Bass, $10,000

dead or alive.

Jim Dalton, $12,000, dead or alive.

Ben Thompson, $10,000, dead or alive.

Black Bart, $15,000, dead or alive.

Jesse James, $25,000, and you name it.

Oh, that's a lot.

That includes my brother.

William Bonney

$1 000, dead or alive.

- One thousand? - I'm just startin'.

- Heh-heh. - They call me Billy the Kid.

Good luck.

Well, I'm impressed, gentlemen.

To tell you the truth

I don't know what to say.

Hey, wait a minute.

Does he know why we're here?

Don't worry about Willie.

He's harmless.

I worry easy, Ms. Starr.

Come on, you.

What's goin' on?

Yeah, I told you to get out of here.

They are killers in there, all of 'em.

I know who they are. Who do they think I am?

Foxy Smith, the brain.

The brain? They think I'm...

The law doesn't know what Foxy looks like. Neither do they.

All they know is he was supposed to show up here

wearing that diamond stickpin.

You better rough me up, uh, just a little

as though you are warnin' me to stay in line or something.

I'll take care of that later, Willie, right now I gotta

get out of here until I can figure how

to cash in all that reward money.

Uh, you'll go out feet-first.

That Younger shoots first and asks questions afterwards.

I told you we've checked him out.

What are you tryin' to pull?

Well, I'm double-checkin'.

Now you keep your nose clean or I'll shoot it off. Savvy?

- Uh, yes, sir. - Alright.

I never gamble, Younger.

Now Back to "Maverick."

Phew.

Hi.

Mind if I come in?

Well, it's gettin' a little late. I got a lot of work to do.

All work. No play?

You remember I said we met somewhere before?

Well, I figured it out.

It wasn't you. It was some other fella.

Well, Smith's a very common name.

Can you tell me about the job?

Oh, I'm sorry, that stays locked up inside

till tomorrow, Ms. Starr.

Belle.

Aren't you gonna offer me a drink?

Uh, that's a good idea. We'll go down to the bar.

It's cozier here.

Sit down.

Well, it's gettin' awfully late.

What's the matter?

- You afraid of girls? - Girls?

No, it's the men they belong to that make me nervous.

Now don't you worry about Cole.

He's just got a fast trigger-finger

and a suspicious mind.

- That's all. - That's plenty.

I, uh, expected you to look a lot older.

Well, tonight I feel a lot older.

Married?

No, no.

You don't talk much, do you?

Well, I figure, in my position

it's, it's better not to.

Besides, I haven't thought of too much to say.

Why don't you run along and let me get back to work?

Goodnight, Belle.

Goodnight, Mr. Smith.

Just call me Foxy.

Uh...

Goin' somewhere, mister?

I was just gonna take the horse out for a walk.

His legs got a little cramped up on the ride in.

Sure you ain't tryin' to run out?

Now wise up Kid, when I figure out this job

none of us will ever have to worry again.

See you later.

That you, Younger?

[Cole] Yeah.

What's all the shootin' about?

Your brains are valuable, Smith.

I'd hate to have to blow 'em out.

Uh, it's what I like about you. You're on your toes, Younger.

All in this thing together. We can't afford to take chances.

You don't have to worry about that.

Nobody is gonna get away with anything.

Now get off that horse.

Take it, Billy. Best you and I take a walk.

Belle and I were talkin'.

We wondered why it took you so long to get here.

I had a little trouble in Denver.

Law trouble or lady trouble?

Oh, just some two-bit gambler in a saloon.

You always wear that stickpin?

- Well, yeah. - Had it long?

Quite a while. It's sort of a good-luck charm.

Smith...

...wear it tomorrow

'cause you are gonna need all the luck you can get.

Right.

Goodnight.

You want me to see he goes to his room and stays there?

Nah. Sam is inside.

The Dalton boys are takin' turns on the watch outside.

He ain't goin' no place.

From what I heard, that ain't good enough.

They say that nobody can keep Foxy Smith boxed in.

Nobody holds Foxy Smith. Do you understand? Nobody!

Ah take it easy, friend. You'll last longer.

You got no right to hold me here.

I got business to take care of.

Important business.

Would you care to tell me about it?

I'm warning you, I'll get you for this.

I'll rip that ten-cent badge off your chest

and ram it down your throat.

Nobody keeps Foxy Smith boxed in

you understand? Nobody!

It's nice to know.

Willie, I gotta get out of here.

Maverick, you haven't got a chance.

I heard Younger tell the others that, that he didn't trust you.

He says he smells somethin' fishy.

Uh, they've got you surrounded. You...

You'll have to go to that meeting.

Why, I can't go down there.

They expect me to lay out a job for 'em.

- Maybe that's the answer. - What?

- Lay out a job for 'em. - Oh, come on, Willie.

Only, uh, make it so wild

that even those cutthroats will turn their back on it.

And how am I gonna do that?

That's your problem.

We are waitin' on you, Smith.

Uh, thank you, sir.

- Good mornin', gentlemen. - Mornin'.

- Mornin'. - Mornin'.

Starr.

Well?

Aren't you supposed to call the meeting to order?

Or is someone else in charge?

- I'm in charge. - Who said?

- I say. - What difference does it make?

We're here to listen to what Smith has to say.

Now go ahead, Foxy.

Uh, now just a minute.

Are you still willin' to vouch

for every man in this room?

- I told you that yesterday. - Oh, that's right.

But like I said, it doesn't hurt to double-check.

Quit stallin', Foxy, tell us about this mint of money

you've been promisin' to get for us.

- What did you say? - I said quit stallin'.

No, no, no. You used a certain word.

[Bret] You mind repeating it?

What are you talkin' about?

Well, let me tell you.

The word was mint.

M-I-N-T.

Mint?

If there's a leak in this organization

we better find out about it and plug it right now!

I see you gentlemen are a little confused.

Well, let me straighten you out, I have discussed this plan

with no one!

That means that somebody was in my room last night

between midnight and seven o'clock this morning.

Well, I was in your room last night, remember?

[Belle] You didn't say anything to me about it.

That's right, Ms. Starr, but you just came to the door.

You couldn't have known.

No, I was in your room.

Don't you remember?

It couldn't have been you.

But somebody found out about the plan.

What plan?

The plan to take over

the Denver Mint.

- Denver Mint? - Mint?

I figured out every move to the last detail.

[Bret] It's a long shot.

It's a very long shot.

But even considering 50%

75% casualties

I say it can be done.

That's my end of it, gentlemen. The rest is up to you.

[Sam] Foxy, I'll give it to you straight.

Yesterday I didn't have any use for you.

But this is big. Real big.

I told you he was smart.

No wonder they call you The Fox.

The Denver Mint? Can we do that?

With Foxy to lead the way, you can.

Now quiet down, all of ya. Let him tell ya how.

Go ahead, Foxy. Tell 'em.

Yeah, yeah, well...

I have cased the whole layout. I know every inch of the ground.

So that's why you were two days late.

Late? Yeah.

Don't interrupt.

Go ahead, Foxy.

Well, to begin with...

...it's a private mint.

We know that.

Well, there are ten men in key position, see?

Now the idea, uh, is to get inside

and to replace each one of these ten men with one of us.

Uh, once inside

you'll all go to your, your target.

Once the key men are replaced

we'd load the gold and make our getaway.

I've knocked over trains, banks and the Pony Express.

But this tops them all, Foxy.

When do we get started?

- Yeah, when do we get started? - Come on.

Well, gentlemen...

...I'm sorry, but we're gonna have to wait on that.

You're stallin' again, Smith. Why do we have to wait?

Because I say so.

That's not good enough, Smith.

Alright, then I'll tell you.

In three days

the gold shipments are gonna be comin' into the Denver Mint

from all over the surrounding territory.

They're saving it up for one big shipment.

Then and not until then do we hit.

A hit this size is worth it.

I say we wait.

I say we hit now and take what we can.

- I'm for goin' now. Right now. - No, I say we wait.

Wait a minute. I'm still in charge of this meetin'.

- Now keep it down. - Younger.

You've been shootin' your mouth off ever since I got here.

You guys told me to take over.

And as long as I'm in charge, I'll do the talkin'.

I say if Smith is on the level, we wait.

But I say first we check on Mr. Smith.

[Cole] I've got a contact in Denver.

We can wire him and check out this story about the gold.

If the shipment is due

like he says

alright.

But if not, I say we do some more checkin'

and make sure we're doin' business

with the real Foxy Smith.

Marshal

how much do you make a year?

Oh, about 1800.

I lost that much the other night playin' poker.

Well, of course, the 1800 don't include pension

and other fringe benefits.

How would you like to make a year's pay right now?

Well, I'd like that fine, Mr. Smith.

What's on your mind?

Unlock this door.

You mean you'd give me all that money just for that?

That's right. That's all you have to do.

Well, you sure must want out awful bad.

- Well? - Well what?

You're gonna let me out or not?

Oh, I couldn't do that, Mr. Smith.

We really haven't had a chance to get acquainted.

Go ahead, Cole. Tell him.

My contact in Denver says the shipment arrives

the day after tomorrow.

You're off a day.

Tell him the rest.

The boys figure I was wrong about you.

[Cole] They figure I owe you an apology.

Sorry, Foxy, but on a job this big, we gotta be sure.

Oh, there's no need to apologize.

That's the way I want it.

Can't afford to have any slip-ups.

Your plan goes into action day after tomorrow.

Good. Good.

Is your, uh, contact satisfied

that I'm the real Foxy Smith?

He's workin' on it.

I hear that Foxy Smith is the best tricks hot in the business.

Let's go back to the hotel and find out.

Well, I haven't had to handle a gun lately.

I... Probably pretty rusty.

We'll find out. Come on.

Light the candle, Willie.

Mr. Smith is going to show us the trick that made him famous.

Oh, not now, Younger. I'm, I'm not in a mood.

Well, come on, friend. We've all heard about it.

You'd like to see it, wouldn't you, Billy?

Yeah, any man who can lie on his back and shoot out a candle

while lookin' in the mirror must be pretty good.

What?

Now wait a minute.

I realize that all you guys have heard

of my reputation with the gun.

But I don't do much of that anymore.

Kinda outgrown it.

I leave that up to the guys who just wanna look good.

You know, the showboats.

Now when I pull a gun...

...I use it.

[Belle] Hello.

This time I brought my own.

Thank you.

You know, I like you.

I didn't think I would, after some of the things I heard.

Like what?

Mm, like the Laredo massacre.

Sam told me that he got there right after

you and your men had left.

You know, Sam's done lots of killing.

He claims he never saw anything like that.

Laredo, huh?

Kids' stuff!

You ever hear of the Folsom River?

No.

Well, ever since that day they call it The Red River.

Bloody, huh?

Well, you must have had good reason.

I don't need a reason to kill.

You got nerve.

I like that.

If you had any sense, you would

take your drink and get out of here.

You don't scare me.

You talk big.

I'll bet you don't really go in for this business.

I don't know anything else.

You're young.

Not too late to change.

And do what? Be a school mom?

That'd be a laugh.

It's gonna be rough tomorrow.

Why don't you wait here and see how they make out?

Uh, we make out.

I'm not built that way.

Nobody's complainin' about the way you're built.

Look, some women can play it soft. Not me.

I'll ride in with the others.

But tonight...

We've got a lot to do tomorrow. You shouldn't be here.

Goodnight.

Now back to "Maverick."

Alright, Dalton, you know what to do.

Sam Bass and the James boys.

You'll be riding in together.

[Bret] The James boys will hold up at the springs.

You go in alone. Got it?

Yeah, yeah, I got it.

But do I have to dress like this?

Why can't one of the others be the banker?

It's too late. Most of the boys already left.

- Now get goin'. - Mm.

Allison and Thompson.

You'll pair off and take the southern road in.

Billy.

You'll be travellin' on as Black Bart.

I'm depending on you to keep a cool head.

You'll see, Mr. Smith. You'll be proud of me.

Oh, and, Billy

keep your eye on Bart.

Don't say anything to get him rile.

Right.

You've got your assignment, Younger.

[Bret] What's holdin' you up?

I'm waitin' for Belle.

I'm ready.

Maybe I wouldn't have made such a bad school mom

after all, huh?

What is that supposed to mean?

You're wastin' time. Saddle up and get goin'.

Take care of yourself.

You, too.

Come on, Belle.

You'll remember.

She's a lady.

You keep her out of danger till the shootin' is over.

The others may buy your story, friend

but I still got a feeling you're a fake.

Relax, Younger.

I'm gonna make you rich.

They gone?

All of them?

All of them.

Maverick, you did it. You finally did it.

Huh. I can't believe it!

Yeah, but we're not quite through yet, Willie.

There's one more little step.

"Denver City marshal. Denver Colorado.

"Reward requested on dozen desperados. All top names.

"Their plan to infiltrate and take over Denver Mint

"will go into effect shortly after you receive this telegram.

"Will arrive in Denver myself shortly after.

Bret Maverick, bounty hunter."

- That cover it? - It, it sounds fine.

Let's send it and get out of here.

Okay.

Hey, would you, uh, send this right away, please?

- It's important. - What a business.

Everybody's always in a rush.

You'd think it was a matter of life and death.

Just send it, will you?

[Bret] Just a few days ago I'd left this town

a bashful barefoot boy with nothing but a diamond stickpin.

Today I was back to collect a fortune.

I was beginnin' to get used to being called Foxy, too.

Matter of fact, I was beginnin' to like it.

[Belle] Foxy.

Belle, what are you doin' here?

I gotta talk to you. Come with me. Quick.

Don't you cry, honey.

You two kids really love each other.

You got nothing to be scared of.

Lady, if you mind, we'd like to be alone.

I know just what you mean.

I ran off and got married when I was younger than her.

- Lady, please. - Don't worry.

I'm not going to try and stop her.

I know what you need. I'll get you a drink.

Now, Belle, what happened?

They were waiting.

Marshal, every deputy in the territory

right there at the mint.

Mm, Billy lost his head and he started to shoot.

I mean, it was terrible.

- What went wrong? - Somebody tipped the law.

Who? Do they know?

Cole said it was you.

[Belle] But you wouldn't do a thing like that, would you?

You know me better than that.

Did Younger get away?

Dead?

I'm sorry, Belle.

Some of the others got away, though.

[Belle] They'll be gunnin' for ya.

For me, too. They think we're in this together.

Foxy, I'm scared.

For the first time in my life I'm really scared.

Here you are, honey. You just drink it down.

Make you feel a lot better.

Lady, would you do me a favor and go away?

You're all a bunch of wise guys when you're young.

You just never learn.

You're gonna be alright, honey.

Now, Belle, you gotta get a hold of yourself.

What'll I do? Where'll I go?

You wait here. I'll go call on the marshal.

The marshal? What do you want with him?

My re... venge.

Well, you can't go up against them alone.

They'll kill you, too.

I work with my brains, remember?

I've gotta find out who turned us in.

That's the only way I can get off the hook

with the others.

Well, take me with you.

- Oh, no. - Oh, Foxy, please.

Look, the law doesn't want me.

If you leave me, the others will get me. I know it.

Please take me with you.

Alright, but when I talk to the marshal

I talk to him alone. Right?

Is the marshal inside?

Nice work, Belle. Right on time.

This way, friend.

Well, Mr. Maverick. Come in.

You seem surprised to see me.

I kind of thought you were in jail.

Well, like they say, they can't keep Foxy boxed in very long.

The boys tell me you give a very convincing impersonation of me.

Well it wasn't bad while it lasted.

Not bad. It was an inspiration.

I never could have thought of anything so brilliant or bold.

My plan was nothing compared to yours.

- You're too modest. - It worked like a charm.

The boys moved in as per your instructions

and put the personnel on ice until we're finished here.

Small world, isn't it?

If I hadn't met Billy this morning

I'd never have known.

Billy gets around.

Then, too, Mr. Younger had the good judgment

to intercept your telegram to the authorities.

Mr. Younger gets around pretty good himself.

By the way, if you're going to impersonate me again

I'd better show you my favorite tricks hot.

Is it absolutely necessary?

Uh, Mr. Younger, would you assist me, please?

Nice shot. Uh...

Uh...

- Your change. - Thanks.

I won't keep you. I've got things to attend to.

And I know the boys have plans for you.

I'm sure they have.

By the way, I believe I owe you this.

Well, thanks. Thanks a lot.

And this, too.

Party's gettin' a little rough.

Yeah, and it's going to get a lot rougher.

- Get him out of here. - Uh...

Just a minute.

You won't need this anymore.

Your luck's run out.

[Maverick] Now back to "Maverick."

Why aren't you out there where the money is, Billy?

I guess Foxy and Younger call the shots, huh?

They are tricky, Kid.

They won't try anything with Jesse and the Dalton boys

but with you it's different.

Don't let 'em leave you holdin' the bag, Kid.

Get lost, Billy.

I want a word with our friend, the bounty hunter.

Get lost!

Foxy says I stay.

I say you blow! Now get goin'!

Everybody gives me orders

just 'cause I'm younger than the rest.

You got a right to hate me.

Do you?

No, no, Belle.

You did what you had to do.

If you ever wanna change your line of work

try the stage. You're a good actress.

I was pretty good at that, wasn't I?

Those ropes cuttin' you?

Are you thinkin' about loosening 'em?

Maybe we better leave 'em right there.

They'll be loaded soon. We'll be pullin' out, huh?

Yeah.

What do you figure they're gonna do with me?

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Do you mind if I have a smoke? They're in my pocket.

No blindfold. Just a cigar.

I got a lousy luck, you know that?

Every time I meet a man I could go for

something rotten happens.

Why couldn't you have been legit

like the rest of us?

I was raised in a rich neighborhood.

Too many advantages, I guess.

Anyways, it's too late now.

I'm sorry it's gotta end this way.

Me, too.

Goodbye, Belle.

- Ain't she Younger's girl? - Mm-hmm.

How come she's kissin' you like that?

Well, we're friends, Billy.

She's a very friendly girl.

Come on, Billy, let's go, let's go.

Foxy told me to stay here till they clear out.

- And then take care of him. - Well...

He told me that, too, but I don't like it.

How come it's gotta be you and me?

Well, that's a good question, you

oughta think about that, Billy.

Why couldn't it have been a couple of the big boys

like well, Dalton or James?

He said we'd catch up with them at the springs later.

We'd cut up the take then.

Uh, suppose they don't show up?

Yeah, suppose they don't show up?

Wise up, Kid. They're big time.

What do they need you for?

You heard me. Now shut up!

Alright, we're ready to go.

Your men have your instructions.

I got 'em, but I don't like 'em.

Why can't you stay? Or one of the others?

Why does it gotta be Billy or me?

I told you why. We'll join up later.

How do they know you'll show up?

What's that?

- How do we know you'll show? - You have my word for it.

That's not good enough.

Sam and me are going out with the loot.

[Billy] Do your own dirty work for a change.

That's tellin' him, Billy.

You heard me. Shut up!

Can't you see what he's trying to do?

He wants to get you all steamed up over nothing.

Let's go, Smith.

Not so fast, Younger.

Now back to "Maverick."

You ain't going nowhere without Sam and me.

- Put that away, Billy. - Quit giving me orders!

I'm sick and tired of taking orders, do you understand?

Get smart, Kid.

There's enough here for all of us.

Do what he says. Put that gun away.

What's goin' on, Cole?

Uh, the Kid lost his head. Let's get out of here.

Not now, Kid. We'll get him later.

Come on. Let's go with the money.

Go, sharp!

Get goin', Frank!

Hyah!

Get going, Bart! It's the law! Giddy-up!

Here comes the posse. Grab your horses. Let's go!

Ha! Dah!

Hey, Billy, come on.

Get up.

Get on, Billy. Boy, hang on.

Phil, you and Bill guard these wagons.

The rest of you go after 'em!

[Bret] Howdy, marshal.

There's your friend Foxy Smith.

Looks the same shape he was in the last time we met.

Is he still alive?

Anymore around?

Uh, just the people who work here.

Mr. Smith said he put 'em on ice.

Where?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Do you mind?

- Who are you? - Bret Maverick.

You met me the other night, remember?

Are you in on this?

I was trying to break it up.

You know what it's all about?

Yeah, but I'll tell you about that later.

Uh, you oughta try catchin' up with the others.

The posse's after them. They'll bring 'em in.

Marshal, if they do, you'll be the most famous

law-enforcement officer in the history of the West.

I'll have the boys come over and pick up

our friend Mr. Smith later.

Let's go.

Oh, uh, you know, marshal

I don't trust your friend Foxy there. No.

I-I-I think we oughta take him along with us.

Well, he ain't going no place. I got the cuffs on him.

Oh, that's right. I almost forgot.

Well, it's alright, then.

Sure, everything's alright.

This time I'm gonna have Mr. Smith for a nice long visit.

Alright, break it up, break it. Come on, move along.

Look at all that money.

Yeah, it's beautiful, isn't it?

You know, you sure gotta hand it to the fellow

that figured out this keeper.

Took plenty of brains and real courage.

Yeah, he must have been quite a guy.

You know, when we get this all squared away

you and me gotta sit down, have a nice long visit.

Sure thing, marshal.

I'll see you down at your office.

Oh, wait a minute.

Say, don't you think I better send

one of my men along with you?

'Cause I sure wouldn't wanna miss one word

of that long story you gotta tell.

Oh, I don't think that'd be necessary, marshal.

You're gonna find it interesting, though.

- Oh, son. - Yeah?

You won't need that.

Oh, that?

Oh, no, of course not.

So long, marshal.

Marshal...

So long.
