I don't cover the whole United States.
- If you give me a description of these men...
- You know as well as I do who it was.
Jesse James. Who else picks on my road?
Who else would have the nerve?
Sure it was, but you don't
have to yell about it. I'm not deaf.
What's that?
Look! It's him!
- Well, you crazy son of a gun.
- How are you, Major?
You're asking to be caught.
They're looking all over the county for you.
How about a cup of coffee?
- The marshal's got 30 men looking for you.
- In all this rain, too. Poor boys.
- It's no joke, Jesse.
- It's all right, honey. I won't stay long.
The way I figure it out, as long as they're
out there, in here's the safest place for me.
- Sit down. Leave the man alone.
- But he's taking chances.
If I could just think of some way
to let you know how wrong you are.
It's no use, honey. It's like I always told you.
I hate the railroads.
And when I hate I have to do something.
That's the stuff.
People ain't hatin' now
like they used to. They're gettin' soft.
I gotta admit that I like a man
that hates good and hard.
It's the lawyers, goldang it,
a-messin' up the whole world.
Ten years ago here in Liberty, we didn't
have no lawyers and we got along fine.
A man killed somebody, somebody killed
him, the marshal shot 'em all. That was it.
But look at it today. Here in Liberty we got
hundreds of lawyers, thousands of 'em.
As far as the eye can see,
nothin' but lawyers.
Uncle Rufe, there are only
two lawyers in Liberty.
Two? Is that all?
Then they run around too much.
Goldang it. I'm gonna write me
- Roy!
- Yes, sir.
Take an editorial on lawyers.
- Liars?
- That'll do. We'll begin easy.
Paragraph.
If we are ever to have
law and order in the West,
is take out all the lawyers
and shoot 'em down like dogs.
Paragraph.
They're bound to get you some day, Jesse.
That's why I hate to see you
go out that door.
Because I keep thinking of you
all the time out there in the hills.
Just going on and on to nowhere.
Just trying to keep alive.
wanting to kill you to get that money.
And, Jesse, sometimes at night
when it's cold and raining,
I wake up crying,
because in a dream
I saw you lying dead in the mud.
Oh, Jesse, I'm so scared.
You're the only one that it matters to, Zee,
one way or the other,
You're the only one
I know it was a fool thing to come here, but...
I never knew how much I did want to see you
until I saw you.
...the dad-blamedest outrage ever...
How are you, Horace Greeley?
Hello, Will.
- I thought you was...
- I was.
- Is Zee inside?
