5 Card Stud Page #3

Somebody gave Stoney|a new string tie.

Only it was made of barbed wire|and a little tight.

That was some unhealthy|card party I had going.

Three men dead.

- Up to now.|- Up to now?

It looks like someone's out to kill|every man at that party.

That's a good reason to avoid Rincon,|if you planned to come back.

That's what you've come|a hundred miles to tell me?

- I'd have come further.|- Thanks.

But the night I got thrown out|in the street, you never did wake up.

- I'm woke up now.|- Stay awake. When do we go back?

Back? It's you who ought to wake up.

If a man's out to kill you,|don't let him pick the time.

You go to Rincon,|he'll even pick the place.

I won't know him|till he looks for me.

You won't know him in Rincon either,|he won't wear a sign.

But I will, and then he might just|make one bad move.

Well, I guess a man's gotta be|a damn fool once in a while.

It proves he's still alive, huh?

I've seen strikes before. They eat|a town up alive. Like a snake.

Before I go to Mama's, I'll clean up.

From what I hear,|up the street there is the place for it.

Smash your baggage, mister?

- Can you find me a room?|- Mama figured you'd be back.

You still got your old room.

Van!

Take the bag up to the room,|will you, George?

I heard about Fred. It wasn't easy,|walking into that storeroom.

Walking out was the hard part.

And now Stoney Burough.|Everybody's edgy, even my father.

He's putting up a reward|for Stoney's murderer.

Like he did for Fred Carson. He won't|let me go anywhere by myself.

And look what he makes me carry.

Well it's a sure thing|you won't kill anybody.

Unless you're that close.

I'm glad you're back.|Only you didn't learn much in Denver.

You forgot some.

- You need a shave.|- I was about to.

Not in her place!|I'd sooner shave you myself.

It happens I also need a bath.

I can't help you there.

- I'll post the notices.|- Thanks, Al.

- Hello, Van.|- Mr Evers.

What do you think|of what they're doing?

What who's doing?

I just put up another $1,000|to find out, I don't know.

Tell Nick|I'll be at Mama Malone's tonight

and to bring some good|card players, he'll know who.

I'll do that.

- I thought this was a barber shop.|- What changed your mind?

You did.

Change it back.|It is a barber shop, and I own it.

I could use a shave.

If I got you for one bell,|what do I get for two?

A barber.|Hazel, this gentleman wants a shave.

Yes, Miss Langford.

Ever give any shaves yourself?

- About once every thousand faces.|- I guess I'm the wrong number.

- Good afternoon, Miss Langford.|- Afternoon, girls.

"Miscellaneous" is $20.|What's "miscellaneous"?

Something you didn't ask for.
