-Put that up against it. -[ Groans ]

-Hold on. [ Breathing heavily ]

That's about all I can do for now, Roland Daniel.

-Elbert Moses... -Eh?

-You don't -- you don't think figure Merry Florene's

gonna run out on us, do you?

-No. No. She's gonna be back. It'll be fine, just fine.

-Good. -Just fine.

-Hope she hurries up. I'm hurtin' powerful bad.

-Listen to me.

Now, both your brother and me need doctorin'.

If you give up this thing and come to your senses,

everything's gonna be all right. If you don't --

-Just shut up!

You just hang in about you, Roland Daniel.

You're gonna be fine as soon as we shutter this place.

You keep a look on him.

-Matthew leaves me in charge of the town,

and I let somethin' like this happen.

-Oh, it isn't your fault.

-Oh, it is too, Doc.

Now, I knowed the hill folks all my life.

I've known good 'uns, and I've known bad 'uns.

And them there is bad 'uns.

I'd ought to have did just Matthew would have did

when he -- when he seen that they had set

to do somethin' bad, he'd-a ran 'em right out of town.

-You 'bout ready? -Yeah. Just about.

-What if it don't work?

-It'll work.

Now, take the wagon around front of the general store

and do just exactly what I told you.

And be careful.

-I will.

Now, you put that gun down

I ain't gonna bring you nothing no more.

It's your duty to take care -- No, it's all right --

It's your duty!

-Possum and collard greens.

Where in the tarnation do you think you're at?

Matthew, am I glad to see you. -Hello, Festus.

-You sure knowed what you was doin' when you went off

to Hayes, I'll tell you that.

-Yeah. Well, I, uh, saw Mr. Jonas.

He told me what's been happening around here.

-Did he tell you they've had me a-hoppin' around

like a flea on a hot skillet?

Did he tell you that I ain't had me one wink of sleep

since we had them knuckleheads in the calaboose here?

Did he tell you that?

They've been a-squallin' and a-bawlin'...

-I made my peacefuls with Mr. Jonas and, uh,

explained myself to Deputy Festus.

And I gots to face up to you now.

-Well, all right.

I'll tell you, I was just about to go over to Delmonico's

-That'd be fine. -Good. Festus...

-Matthew, I... -Keep an eye on things

for a while here, will you? -Well, uh, Matthew, I...

-Look, I, uh... Tell you what I figure to do.

After I get something to eat, I'll probably stop by

and get a bath and a haircut, maybe get a few hours' sleep.

But I'll probably be back tonight.

If not, I'll see you in the morning.

-But you see what -- what...
