The Ride Back Page #2

---

cold at night.

I won't be needing it.

I ain't going far.

I'm just going for a short ride.

You just be waiting.

They don't want me to go. If I say

the word, they'll kill you.

You going to say the word?

I can do my own killing.

Don't let the priest change you.

I like you just as you are.

Here.

Fill these, will you?

Sure.

What are you going to do

when we camp?

You going to stay awake all night?

I'll rope and shackle

you if I have to.

You'll need two hands for that.

Think you can handle

me without a gun?

Come on, hurry it up.

With all the traveling

we've got ahead...

you've got some mighty

big problems, man.

Throw me that one.

Here, fill it yourself.

Get over there. Come on.

Man, you're sure nervous.

That's right. I am.

It's gonna be a nice night.

Elena's going to be waiting.

Come on, let me go back.

This is Mexico. Nobody's

going to blame you.

You can't take me back to

Scottsville, you know it.

Come on, you're holding us up.

Just trying to make it

easy for you, man.

We'll make camp here.

You want to gather some

wood for a fire?

You afraid of the dark?

Get back!

Get back!

Go on, get back.

You're lucky. I almost

got you. Next time.

There isn't gonna be a next time.

I'm going to tell you something.

I don't like any part of this job.

I've got a wife who didn't want me

to come down here.

I don't like this.

But I've got to take you back and

I'm going to do it.

I know you're a better gun than me,

but you haven't got a gun.

You try and run or jump me again

and I'll kill you.

You hear what I'm saying?

You missed.

We've got a lot of riding and

camping to do together.

You can make it easy or tough

for yourself.

That's up to you.

Do you want to gather the wood?

I'll go see to the horses.

You know, it ain't easy to

sleep like this.

That's rough.

You should have brought something,

like I told you.

Here. These here nights

can be cool.

Good night, Mother.

Good night.

That's enough! Kallen!

Tell her to get over by the fire.

Ask her if she's got anything

else on her.

Tell her to drop it, if she has.

You ask her.

Ask her, Kallen, or I'm going to

search her. It's a cold night.

- Has she got anything else on her?

- No, she's telling the truth.

Tell her to stay right where she

is. I don't want her near you.

It's going to be getting

light pretty soon.

You make her go back then.

What are you talking about?

She's worried about me.

Thinks I'm going to let you take

me away from her.

Look at that face.

What did she say?

She wonders how anybody

could love you.

Tell her to shut up.

Here. The air is cold.

Kallen, wake up.

I bet I slept better than you did.
