More Dead Than Alive Page #3

you belong out here.

You have a very interesting face.

I'd like to paint it some time.

Who are you?

I told you, my name's Cain.

I mean, what do you do?

I didn't mean to pry.

It's really none of my business.

I don't blame you for wondering.

Why don't we...

get moving and we can talk about it

on the way to dinner.

- Is that an invitation?

- Yes, ma'am. I've got two...

What's the matter?

Well, I had two dollars.

I guess I not only got fired,

I got robbed.

I went to Vassar.

That's a school back east for women.

I detested it.

So of course I didn't do very well

in my studies.

I flunked out.

But I didn't care, anyway.

'Cause all I wanted to do

was come out west and paint.

My father thought

I was running away from failure.

He tried to encourage me by saying

that it wasn't what happened

in the past that mattered,

it was the future.

You're trying to encourage me by...

telling me that I should forget my past.

Well, I'd like to, but...

it seems like most people

remember too hard.

Why do you help them?

I don't understand.

Why did you tell me your name?

Why didn't you say it was Crane,

or something else?

It isn't what people think you are

that matters. It's what you are.

Would you promise

an intuitive woman something?

I'll make a deal with you.

If you say yes,

I'll treat you to that dinner.

- You sure like to make deals.

- Well?

Well, it sounds

mighty tempting, but...

You can pay me back later.

Say it's a deal.

All right. It's a deal.

Why don't you get out of here?

Why hang around small towns

where people will remember?

Go east or north

to a city like Prescott.

- That's Killer Cain.

- I know.

I I heard he was here in Dry Wood

a couple months back.

This winter.

Do you... happen to know

where he went?

No.

It's getting dark in here.

I never saw Cain.

I bought that sketch off of Joe Kirby

over at the boarding house.

Some girl left it behind

when she decided to move on.

Round and round she goes,

and where she stops nobody knows.

Two to one, gentlemen.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Sorry, place your bets now.

Place your bets.

Last chance.

- Night, Justin.

- Good night, Bruce.

All right, folks.

Hurry, hurry, hurry.

Step right up and see

the spectacular shooting show

and death display.

See the world's

greatest gunslinger.

He's sharp.

He's a shootin' shark.

So step right up and get

your tickets here, ladies and gentlemen.

Justin.

He sure is loud.

There's a kid in there

that's pretty good with a gun.

You've seen the show?

A couple of months ago

in Las Rinas.

...show, and the death display,

ladies and gentlemen.

Place your bets,

ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, sir,

you can place your bets.
