My Little Chickadee Page #16

I don't know who he is.

Are you in love with him?

What's the use of talking about that

when a man's life is at stake?

I want to talk about it.

I heard you've been seeing him

a long time, even before you came here.

They say he visits you in your room any time he feels like it.

You mean to tell me all this time

you don't know who he is?

I wish I did.

- Are you going to help? They'll hang him.

- Let him hang. What do you care?

You'll be free to marry the Bandit

or anyone you want.

That's got nothing to do with it.

I ain't married anyway.

What?

It was all a fake.

It was done by a gambler named

Amos Budge. He only looked like a preacher.

So that's it.

Amos Budge.

Now listen, Flower...

forget about this bandit.

- I'm crazy about you.

- There's no time for this now.

There's always time for this and you know it.

A man's kiss is like his signature...

his identification.

Unhand me, you bearded beaver!

You can't take the law into your own hands this way.

The man's entitled to a fair trial. Be reasonable.

I will write my assemblyman about this.

Men, you can't do this thing. Why, he hasn't

got a chance to defend himself.

Wait a minute. I agree with that gentleman.

What's this thing doing here?

It's ruining my necktie.

Who's going to pay for my laundry?

Have you anything to say?

Yes, this is going to be a great lesson to me.

You villain. I advise you to make your peace for the hereafter.

I'm not thinking of the hereafter. I'm thinking of the present.

- Have you any last wish?

- Yes, I'd like to see Paris before I die.

Philadelphia will do.

Vote for Cuthbert J. Twillie for Sheriff.

Don't move, any of you. You either, Carter.

You trigger-brains can see for yourself he ain't the man you want.

You wouldn't believe me when I told you.

You'd rather hang an innocent man

than take my word.

While you're talking, the man we want is getting away.

Don't let that worry you.

Open up them bags.

Look at that.

There's enough there to build a school, a church or anything else

this town needs to make it civilized.

That's what you've been hoping for, ain't it?

Now, if any of you want to take out after that bandit, go to it.

I want to thank you personally for what you've done.

Not only for righting a wrong, but for helping us build for the future.

Civilization's a great thing.

I'm sorry, Flower Belle.

That's all right, honey. You did your best.

So, you're not married, after all?

- No, I'm as single as the day I was born.

- Great.

Now I can ask you something

I've wanted to for a long time.

I can even ask you to be my...

Excuse me for interrupting, Carter.

I know what you were going to say,

but I'm afraid you're a little too late.
