for my vey, vey own?

Please, Daddy.

l'll be careful, l promise.

Wildfire is a lot of horse,

little lady.

Oh, Daddy, please!

lf anybody can ride him, l can.

Please, please,

please, please, please.

Well, l guess you're right.

He's yours.

Oh, thank you, Daddy!

Oh, thank you, thank you.

Buy Blackie?

Yeah, he's on the couch there, dead.

No!

You and Blackie dated?

Dated?

Oh, Daddy, we did eveything

together. Eveything.

Oh, my God.

l knew the real Blackie.

Oh, Daddy, he could feel.

He could touch.

Oh, my God!

Take care of her, men.

No, not that! Take her

upstairs is what l meant.

Gee whiz!

My dearest mother.

Quiet. Quiet.

Send $1 ,OOO

for supplies

and travel.

Thanking you in advance.

- l am...

- Let's shoot him now.

No. Let's be on the safe side,

wait till he's asleep.

The Singing Cowboy.

He's gone.

He's not gone, you idiot.

He's somewhere out there in the dark.

He got the drop on us.

Howdy, stranger.

Howdy.

We're looking for someone

named...Betty.

There's no Betty here.

No Betty here?

Did you hear that, fellas?

l reckon we came

to the wrong campsite.

l reckon you did.

You fellas are making

a big mistake.

How's that?

The way you positioned

yourselves.

When the shooting starts, you're likely

to miss me and hit each other.

You think you're real smart,

don't you, fella?

When l see something that's

obviously wrong, l usually speak up.

Well, l hope you're good

in arithmetic too

because there's only one

of you and there's...five of us.

- Oh, that doesn't matter.

- How do you mean?

Just to be semi-fair,

l'll only use one gun.

Oh, we've got a real smart aleck

on our hands, haven't we, boys?

All you have to do is draw.

What if we don't wanna draw?

Now, that would be fine with me.

Actually, l'd prefer it.

But we do wanna draw.

Don't we, men?

Anytime, boys.

You're the only one

l can turn to now, Wildfire.

You're like me.

You're wild and free

and headstrong,

but you love me.

That's why l'm the only, only person

in the whole world who can ride you.

- l'm tired of getting shot in the hand.

- Shut up.

- What are we gonna tell the colonel?

- Tell him we need help to kill this guy.

Who is it?

A bunch of your men.

Five of them.

l'll be right there, men.

Did you kill him?

No, not exactly.

Not exactly?

Well, we tried to kill him, colonel,

but he shot us in the hands.

- In the hands?

- Yeah, it hurts too.

l think we ought to talk to the railroad

men about helping us kill this guy.

l don't like going

to the railroad for help.

This guy's faster

on the draw than Blackie was.

Yeah, colonel,

and he never misses.

J:

Well

maybe we should

go to the railroad people.
