promised to marry her.

- Her?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Let them hear you!

I want you to get yours

in front of everybody.

You ravished my only little sister!

- The man is a maniac!

- You broke her heart!

- He's not a maniac, he's an ass.

- What's it to you?

That beard!

That beard!

That's the key to it all.

What key?

- The key to the perfect plan.

- This ain't none of your business!

Good idea, Doc.

But this ain't none of your business.

- What are you doing?

- Go home.

- Out! Just go.

- Don't do that!

My balls!

Fascinating hand you got.

I never saw such a deep life line.

That's a scar. I disarmed a man once

by grabbing his knife blade.

Life line interrupted.

It's going from bad to worse.

Death's waiting disguised as an Injun.

Don't join Cabot, you'll die.

You're a maniac too.

My friend has

red whiskers like yours.

Fake, but you can't tell.

Let's send him

to reconnoitre in your uniform.

Don't try to go to the fort yourself.

You'll get killed.

Lieutenant!

Men! Men!

Soldiers! Men!

- Carry on, I'm being followed.

- Are you a bandit?

Stop!

You don't look like those ruffians

on the wanted posters.

Do they make you look ugly

to frighten the public?

Well.

They're trying to show

the evil that's inside us.

Stop!

- Kiss me!

- What?

Papa's sending me back to Washington.

I've never kissed an outlaw.

My girlfriends will die of envy.

Kiss me or I'll scream!

Sure.

A madman and a maniac

were in my room.

They both pulled my beard.

I don't want them to escape.

Take them, men!

- There's a man in her bed!

- A man in her bed?

A man in her bed!

- Where?

- Right here.

Hey.

Oh, God.

Oh, God. Save me.

Just this once

and I swear I'll never do it again.

He's over there.

Get out of here, you dogs.

Come on!

Leave me alone.

Get out of here!

My chickens!

My poor little chickens.

Hey, hey, come on now.

Leave me alone!

Oh, my poor chickens.

You a priest or a chicken thief?

Horrible beast.

Go on, get!

You Catholics

keep chickens in church?

- We caught the wrong man.

- Right chicken, though.

Thieves. God will damn you!

He can't. We work for him.

You thieves. Chicken thieves.

Oh, my poor chickens.

Come, my sons.

Let's look for the real one.

- What kind of a place is this?

- A place of worship. Come on.

Climb aboard, kids. Get going.

Come on.

They're all beautiful girls.

As you can see.

- Where you going, friend?

- To see the madam.

Wait here and behave yourself.

- Mike, how you doing?

- Get a move on.

- Hey.

- You'll miss your connection.

It's solid silver

and blessed by a priest.

They used to cut the hands

off church robbers.

Carousel's off to paradise right now.

What better way
