The Outlaw Page #2

people talk about you...

ever since I was in short pants.

That's enough of that.

Turn around.

- Now walk out that door.

- Wait a minute.

Why?

Well, this thing don't seem to sit

right on my stomach, no how.

What?

Doc, you're not gonna

back out on me?

I'm afraid I am.

I'd never hear the end of this.

Hold on!

I'm not through with you yet.

Step aside, Doc.

He may shoot me in the back.

They tell me that's the way

you've given it to some of the boys.

Now, Pat, that's

a pretty strong thing to say.

I never heard that.

Well, Mr. Garrett,

if you believe that...

here's your chance

to do the same to me.

Coming, Doc?

I think I will.

I want the two of you

out of this town by sundown.

What did I do?

That's all right, Doc.

You've got the right

to choose your friends.

Shucks. I don't take kindly

to that at all.

He knows there's no stage

until tomorrow...

and he knows that I'm afoot.

Or am I?

- Not by a darn sight.

- You mean that, son?

Sure. We'll dig you up

another horse somewhere.

- I guess that's enough for me.

- Cleaned out?

Not quite.

- Where you stoppin', son?

- I got a room at the hotel.

Doc, could I see you a minute?

Sure. You might as well

cash me in.

All right.

What's on your mind, son?

No offense, Doc,

but that last ace you just drew...

What about it?

I got a feeling I saw it

on the bottom of the deck.

- Are you sure?

- Wouldn't have asked if I was.

That's where you showed good sense.

Here you are, Doc... 640.

Thanks.

You could have paid four times

for the horse and still saved money.

That's right.

Hope you're satisfied now.

- You gonna turn in?

- I think I will.

I'll walk down to the hotel with you.

Good night, gents, and thanks.

Good night.

If you're not already fixed up,

you can bunk with me tonight.

No thanks, Billy.

I've got a girl. She and her aunt

just moved into town.

You got a girl?

I ain't got nothin',

except that horse.

You can't fool me. A good-looking boy

like you must have a girl somewhere.

No. I don't trust 'em.

You're pretty young

to talk like that.

Well, I've known quite a few.

And they all did you dirty, eh,

every one of them?

Yeah, every one of 'em.

That's too bad, Billy.

I guess things haven't been

so easy for you, have they?

Tell you what I'm going to do.

Since that horse means so much to you,

I'm going to make you a present of him.

That's awful nice of you.

Thanks a lot.

All right. Good night.

See you in the morning.

Good night.

Just thought I'd say good night

to the horse.

If you're all through, you might as well

put him back in his stall.

All right.

Good night, Red.

See you tomorrow.

What, no kiss?

He don't like mush.
