American Outlaws Page #5

JESSE:

Oh, you do not!

Jesse grabs the rifle barrel and drives the butt straight

back into the soldier's nose. The Union boy falls, releasing

the gun. Jesse swings the rifle in a smooth arc, bashing

another soldier in the jaw, and then spins it effortlessly

into his opposite hand and FIRES it point blank into another

Union soldier.

ANGLE ON:

The Rangers PLOWING INTO the Union soldiers. Rattled, the

Union troops are beginning to break and fall back.

ANGLE ON:

Jesse as another nearby soldier draws a revolver. Jesse

snags his hand, twists it, wrapping the man's arm backward

around Jesse's waist. With the other man still gripping the

weapon, Jesse FANS THE HAMMER as he turns, shooting six more

Union soldiers as they try to rush him. With a final yank,

Jesse pulls the Colt from the man and crashes it down on his

skull.

ANGLE ON:

the Union soldiers in full retreat.

EXT. THE GATLING STATION

The few remaining Bluecoats break and run as Jesse reaches

the Gatling. Suddenly a FIGURE LEAPS UP from behind the

Gatling and FIRES his rifle. A bloody streak tears Jesse's

cheek and he stumbles onto his back. With a cry, the figure

jumps forward and buries his bayonet in Jesse's chest!

Jesse gasps, then, puzzled, looks down. The bayonet has

lodged right in the "X" of the ammo belts on his chest,

stopped by the bullets and leather. Jesse kicks. As the

Union soldier is knocked back, Jesse smoothly snap-kicks to

his feet and draws both remaining Colts. He pulls up short.

It's a fifteen year old boy, Web Mimms in a blue uniform.

There's a deadly pause.

JESSE:

You ain't even been with a girl,

have you?

The boy shakes his head. Jesse waves him off with the guns.

JESSE (CONT'D)

Git.

The boy scurries off. Jesse turns and lopes down the hill.

Instantly he's surrounded by cheering Missouri Rangers.
