The Outlaw Josey Wales Page #2

-The Indian Nations.

It's a good place to hole up

and get you healed up.

Then we'll go get Fletcher?

Right, boy.

Then we go back and get Fletcher.

There's some riders

coming up behind us.

Get down here, boy.

Lay across his neck.

Keep him down there.

Can you hear me, boy?

Now if you see me get up,

you stay there, understand?

If you hear shooting

and me headed back north...

...get back on that horse.

He'll get up with you...

...and you head south, now you hear?

JOSEY:

Whoa. Whoa.

You can let him up now, boy.

Let him up!

Get up, goddamn it!

Whupped them again, didn't we?

Whupped them again, boy.

MAN:
Ten years I've been ferrying

Kansas Redlegs...

...Union Cavalry, Missouri guerrillas...

...you name it!

Mad dogs, them guerrillas!

You look sideways at them...

...they kill you!

Hard men to do business with.

You bet!

You know, in my line of work...

...you got to be able either to sing

"The Battle Hymn of the Republic"...

...or "Dixie" with equal enthusiasm...

...depending upon present company.

Can't say as I blame you for that.

Only good business to play it safe.

Thank God they all been disarmed now...

...except for a few of the nastiest ones...

...who they're busy running down.

Where I'm going,

they know how to handle that kind.

SIM:

Where are you headed?

CARPETBAGGER:
I'm going to ply

my wares down in Texas.

Texas, huh?

How much for the ferry ride?

Ten cents.

By coincidence, I happen to have

a bottle of this remarkable elixir...

...I could let you have

for that exact amount.

[SINGING]

I wish I was in the land of cotton

Old times there is not forgotten

Look away, look away

Look away, Dixieland

-Howdy.

-Howdy there.

Sim Carstairs is the name.

Mister...?

Figured we'd give you some

ferrying business.

With pleasure!

Bill Quantrill used this ferry

all the time.

Good friend of mine.

What have you got there?

Just the store with

Grannie Hawkins up there.

I'll tell you what.

We'll all just amble

over to that store.

Him and me will ride.

We've got a touch of the cramp.

CARPETBAGGER:

Stranger, you're in luck!

I just happen to have the perfect thing

here for cramps.

We'll need half a side of bacon...

...1 0 pounds of beef jerky,

And when we get over there, there won't

be any need for you to go inside.

Just tell Old Grannie through the door

we'll need a lot of clean bandages...

...and a boiled poultice for a

bullet wound in a hurry. Come on.

So you'll be Josey Wales.

How might you know that, Grannie?

Soldiers were here looking

for you two hours ago.

I was going to mention that to you

as soon as I got the chance.

They say you killed your own men.

Those lying blue scumbellies!
