Shoot-Out at Medicine Bend Page #3

The Pioneer Emporium!

- What's this for?

- You're going to work.

Why me? Because you're big-hearted

and you wanna work to support

your friends.

Why is it I always get

the short end of the deal?

Go on in -

and watch your thees and thous.

Thee may be a civilian now, but thou

sure sounds like my old captain.

Go with him, Johnny.

Maybe they can use two men.

- What are you gonna do?

- Help you spend your wages

when you get paid.

Get your supplies!

Last chance, if you're headed west!

Ah. Here you are. Have one.

Buy your supplies here, folks!

This Mr. Clark seems to be

a very important man in this town.

Important? He sure is.

See them signs?

Pioneer Saloon...

Ep Clark, proprietor.

Pioneer Hotel... Ep Clark, proprietor.

Pioneer restaurant...

Ep Clark, proprietor.

Anything says Pioneer, that's

Ep Clark. Staying in town long?

We plan to.

Doing a little missionary work.

Missionary? Well, you came

to the right place for it, Brother.

Buy your supplies here, folks!

The Pioneer!

The home of contented customers!

Last chance to spend your money,

if you're headed west.

- You want something, mister?

- Yeah. I want my money back!

- For what?

- This harness is no darn good!

Must've been made out of paper.

That's your bad luck, mister.

What's the trouble, Clyde?

He wants his money back

on a set of harness.

Let me see that.

- I didn't sell you this.

- Well, you sure did.

The Pioneer sells nothing

but top quality merchandise.

You must've bought this stuff

over at Harold Jones's.

I couldn't have. You ran him

out of business six months ago!

Give him another set of harness,

Clyde.

- I guess you'll do.

- What does thee want us to do first?

- What do you mean, 'us'?

- Oh, we always work together.

He's not very bright. I do

the thinking and he does the lifting.

We don't need two men.

Besides, on this job,

you don't have to be bright.

Oh, it won't cost thee any more.

The two of you are willing to work

for the price of one?

Yes, sir. It's my mission in life

to watch over my brother.

Who watches over you?

The Lord watcheth over us all.

Well, he's gonna have

some help from me.

Get these empty crates out back

and uh...

start sweeping up.

- Something I can do

to help you ladies?

- Yes.

I'd like to see

some bleached muslin, please.

Well, bleached muslin's

right here, ma'am.

- Oh.

- 60 cents a yard.

60 cents a yard for muslin?

You won't find any cheaper

this side of St Louis.

I'd have got a better grade

at Elam King's for 40 cents a yard.

Elam King's never undersold us yet,

ma'am.

Well, he has now!

Come, Dora.

- Clyde!

- Yeah?

Let's you and I take a little walk

over to Elam King's.

Opi?
