Appaloosa Page #4
MAY:
They been living off us like
coyotes live off a buffalo carcass.
COLE:
Everything eats meat likes a dead
buffalo.
The men just look at Cole who doesn’t meet their pondering
gaze...
RAINES:
The good people who stayed here did
so because they want to live here,
work, and raise their families in
peace. We want our town back and
we are ready to pay your price.
HITCH:
Who makes the laws in this town?
RAINES:
We do... the Board of Aldermen.
COLE:
(to Everett)
What do you allow?
HITCH:
It’s what we do.

11COLE:
It is, ain’t it.
RAINES:
Then you’ll do it?
COLE:
Sure.
OLSON:
Thank God.
Cole nods to Hitch...
HITCH:
Cole ‘n me will do the gun work but
we’re going to button the town up
tighter than a nun’s corset. We
need you to make laws so we can
enforce them.
RAINES:
We got laws.
HITCH:
You’re gonna have more. We need a
lot of laws to make it all legal.
RAINES:
Well, sure, I mean... if it seems
reasonable we’ll put them right in
the bylaws.
COLE:
No.
MAY:
No what?
Hitch pulls out a piece of paper and hands it to Raines.
HITCH:
What it basically says is, what
Virgil says is law.
MAY:
Christ, that would mean you was
running the town.
COLE:
It would.
RAINES:
We can’t have that.

11Cole is silent.
RAINES (CONT’D)
I mean, you’re asking us, so to
speak, to turn the town over to
you.
HITCH:
Far as I can see you’re gonna turn
it over anyway, us or Bragg.
The doors connecting the parlor to the saloon swing open.
TILDA, a small round faced Swedish waitress, hurries over.
TILDA:
Mr. Raines?
RAINES:
Not now Tilda.
TILDA:
Trouble in the bar, Mr. Raines.
RAINES:
Tilda!
TILDA:
It’s Mr. Bragg’s men!
OLSON:
Oh, Jesus God.
Raines just looks at Cole and Hitch.
TILDA:
There’s four of them. They have
guns.
HITCH:
Space for your signature down there
at the bottom. On the right.
Raines is frozen... looking at Cole’s rules.
OLSON:
Oh for God’s sake, give me that.
Olson signs the paper and passes it to May. After a beat May
signs it. Olson grabs the paper and shoves it back to
Raines.
OLSON:
Sign the damn thing Abner, so these
men can do what they came here to
do.

11After Raines signs the paper, Cole waves it a moment to drythe ink, folds it and puts it in his pocket.
Cole nods Hitch to the FRONT DOOR. Hitch exits.

Hitch crosses from the hotel entrance to the Saloon doors.
As he enters...
13 INT. SALOON - CONTINUOUS - SUNSET 13
Cole enters from the LOBBY.
Bronc and Chalk are trying to piss into a spittoon from adistance.
TWO more of Bragg’s men are leaning against the bar laughing.
COLE:
Button ‘em up.
BRONC:
Who the f*** are you?
COLE:
Virgil Cole.
BRONC:
Virgil Cole? No sh*t? Hey Chalk,
Virgil Cole wants us to button up.
Chalk turns toward Cole with his penis hanging out.

CHALK:
Step a little closer, Virgil Cole,
and I’ll piss in your pocket.
COLE:

CHALK:
Hey, Bronc, they got a new CityMarshal.
Bragg’s other Two Men leaning against the bar, move apart.
BRONC:
Didn’t they have another Marshal,
‘while back?
