- Oh, who are you?

We want to buy some feed for our horses.

- How many you got?

- Two.

Much obliged, Doc.

Give me 50 cents and help yourself.

I can't go to church smelling like a horse.

Try some of it. It's

real sweet-smelling stuff.

Yeah.

You figure on staying in Sundown

for any length of time?

We could.

You know, there's a lot of folks around here

that ain't interested in seeing you rebels.

The war is over.

I bet you still got plenty folks down in

Texas that thinks the war is still going on.

What makes you think we're from Texas?

From your talk,

I sure didn't think you was Yankees.

- Yeah.

- What brings you two fellas to Sundown?

- Tate Kimbrough.

- Oh, mighty fine fellow, Mr. Kimbrough.

Sure nice you got here

in time for his wedding.

Well, come on, Doc,

we'll walk over to the church together.

I'm not going.

Oh, sometimes you take things too serious.

- I don't think so.

- Well, it's up to you.

Something bothering you, mister?

Were you afraid that Mr. Kimbrough

wouldn't like it

if you weren't in time for his wedding?

Some folks around here figure

that Sundown doesn't need

any more of Tate Kimbrough's friends.

We ain't interested in what some folks

around here figure.

Sheriff, I was shaving Mr. Summerton

when those two men came into my shop.

One was a fellow I saw hanging around

town a couple of days ago,

the other one I never saw before.

Well, what about them?

Well, I don't like their looks,

especially the one I never saw before.

The nerve of him,

talking about Tate Kimbrough like he did.

I tell you, Sheriff, he's a bad one.

- Well, what are you going to do?

- Nothing he can do.

He ain't broke any laws.

- But he said that Tate Kimbrough...

- The stranger just stated an opinion.

Now, you can't arrest a man

for having an opinion, can you, Sheriff?

Good morning, gentlemen.

What'll you have?

You got anything to eat?

The restaurant's right down the street,

but it's closed.

Two whiskeys, then.

Your money's no good today, mister.

All the drinks are on Tate Kimbrough.

- We're paying for our drinks.

- There's no charge.

If you don't mind, we'd like to pay.

Give him back his money, Otis.

- That sign means what it says, mister.

- So do I, Sheriff.

Otis, make sure everybody's got a full glass.

The good health

of Mr. And Mrs. Tate Kimbrough.

Sheriff, I'd sure appreciate it

if you'd get my money out of there,

wipe it off and put it back on the bar.

Better hurry, Sheriff.

I don't think Mr. Kimbrough

would like you to miss his wedding.

Mister, if you're figuring

to stay on in Sundown,

you're making a big mistake.

Otis, the sheriff left you a messy job,

but my friend and I would like
