AIN'T YOU A LITTLE YOUNG TO BE THINKING ABOUT THAT?

BESIDES, YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOUR AMATEUR STANDING, DO YOU?

WHAT'S AN AMATEUR?

AN AMATEUR IS A FELLA THAT PLAYS A GAME

'CAUSE HE JUST ENJOYS PLAYING IT.

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME SO MANY QUESTIONS?

THANK YOU.

UH... I HATE TO TELL YOU ALL THIS

BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER SPOT,

SAY, A LITTLE FURTHER OUT OF TOWN.

HUH?

WELL, SEE,

WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS AGAINST THE LAW.

WE DON'T ALLOW SELLIN' THIS CLOSE TO THE STREETS

ON ACCOUNT OF THE FOLKS THAT RUN THE STORES.

THEY DON'T TAKE TOO KINDLY TO IT.

WHY, WHAT EVER GIVE YOU THE IDEA WE WAS SELLIN'?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE. NOW MOVE ON.

OKAY.

OKAY.

LET'S GO, NEIL.

APPEARS LIKE HE AIN'T FOOLIN'.

SOME GUY IN A UNIFORM COME BY A WHILE BACK

ACTIN' LIKE ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY.

YEAH. WAVIN' HIS ARMS, GIVIN' ORDERS

TELLIN' US WE WAS SELLIN' AND VENDIN'

JUST CARRYIN' ON.

THIS FELLA THAT WAS BY HERE

IF HE TOLD YOU TO MOVE ON, WHY DIDN'T YOU?

WHY? 'CAUSE HE WAS A CLOWN--

WAVIN' HIS ARMS AND MAKIN' SPEECHES.

COULDN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUS.

WHEN MATT HERE JUST STOMPED HIS FOOT AT HIM

HE TOOK OFF LIKE A QUAIL.

RIGHT, MATT?

RIGHT.

I WISHED YOU HADN'T HAVE DONE THAT.

NOW HE'S GONNA PLAY THAT UGLY GAME HE ALWAYS PLAYS.

I JUST HATE IT WHEN HE DOES THAT.

GAME?

WELL, WHAT HE DOES

WITH SOMEBODY THAT'S BREAKIN' THE LAW

IS HE TELLS THEM TO QUIT OR MOVE ON

OR SOMETHIN' LIKE THAT.

AND IF THEY DO WHAT HE SAYS, WELL, THERE'S NO TROUBLE.

BUT IF THEY DON'T, EVERYBODY BETTER LOOK OUT.

MM.

WELL, I SURE HOPE YOU'RE GONE

WHEN HE GETS BACK.

BUT AGAIN, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HE DOES

WHEN HE'S GETTING READY TO DRAW.

HE USUALLY, UH, CLEARS HIS THROAT.

THEN HE TUGS AT HIS COLLAR.

AND THEN HE, UH...

WHEN HE DOES ALL THAT, GO.

MAYBE HE'LL COUNT TEN.

MAYBE HE'LL MISS YOU, BUT I WOULDN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

I'D GO. RUN.

JUST BE CAREFUL AND REMEMBER...

HEY, FELLAS.

DO YOU SEE THIS BADGE?

IT SAYS THAT I'M SWORN TO UPHOLD THE LAW.

NOW, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN TO DO,

AND YOU FELLAS BETTER RESPECT IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

IT'S JUST AS SIMPLE AS THAT.

WHO ARE A LOT BIGGER THAN EITHER ONE OF YOU.

NOW, ARE YOU GOING TO GET MOVING?

NICE WORK, BARN.

YOU SEE, BARN?

YOUR BADGE DID ALL YOUR TALKING FOR YOU.

YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO USE YOUR GUN.

YEAH.

YEAH, BUT, JUST IN CASE -- JUST IN CASE, MIND YOU...

WANT TO KNOW WHAT I'D HAVE DONE?

WHAT?

WELL, IF THEM FELLERS GOT TOO SMART-ALECKY WITH ME,

HERE'S WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE --

TAKEN THIS BABY OUT...

PUT MY BULLET RIGHT IN THERE,

AND I'D HAVE SLIPPED THIS BABY RIGHT BACK IN THE HOLSTER,

AND THEN I'D HAVE GIVEN THEM FINAL WARNING.

I'D HAVE SAID, "ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS,

"I'M GIVING YOU TO THE COUNT OF 3.

"IF YOU AIN'T OUT OF HERE ON 3, I'M DRAWING ON YOU.

1...2...3!"
