Annie Oakley Page #4

- Set them up.

First potshot I ever took.

All right, Mr. Walker.

This is too easy.

Give us something to shoot at.

Certainly. We'll use moving targets

if it's agreeable with Miss Oakley.

Well, I never shot a quail

while it was sitting down.

All right, miss.

Get in the pit, boys.

You'll shoot alternately.

The first one to miss will lose the contest.

- Is that all right with you?

- Yes.

- And you, Mr. Walker?

- Fine.

And you, Mr. Maclvor?

It's fine with me.

Just call "Ready."

- Ready.

- Throw!

A hit!

Good shot.

- That was well done, little lady.

- Thank you, sir.

- Ready.

- Throw!

A hit.

Good shot.

- Ready.

- Throw!

A hit.

- Ready.

- Throw!

- Ready.

- Throw!

- Ready.

- Throw!

- Ready.

- Throw!

Hey, Hogarth,

you signed up the wrong shooter.

You better look for another job, Toby.

There goes your championship.

- Ready.

- Throw!

Hogarth, you better get that contract

back, in case the girl beats Toby.

So, you're the champ!

Quiet, please, gentlemen.

Ready, Miss Oakley?

Honey, I hope

you ain't gonna be the cause

of that young man losing his position.

Don't worry, Ma. I ain't gonna be.

- Ready.

- Throw!

A miss!

- Ready.

- Throw!

A hit!

Sister, don't take it too much to heart.

You gave me about as good a match

as anybody does.

Thanks, Mr. Walker.

You know, you've got possibilities.

It's too bad I won't be around

to give you a few pointers.

Come on, Ma, let's go home.

Everybody! Everybody up to the bar!

The drinks are on me!

All right, Fritz, it's on me.

Beers for everybody.

- Make mine a champagne cocktail.

- I'll have champagne, too!

I don't see how she could have lost.

Newt said she tied him shot for shot

right up till the very last.

I never knew her to miss a shot before.

You'd better break the news

to them, Annie.

I'll keep an eye on the young'uns.

Hello, Annie.

- Howdy, Annie.

- Good evening.

I'm gonna pay you folks back

the money I lost

if it takes a whole winter's shooting.

Oh, forget it, Annie.

You done the best you could.

- Sure you did.

- You bet.

That's just it, I didn't.

Now, Annie,

you don't know what you're saying.

I know, all right, and I'm gonna fess up.

I missed that last shot a purpose.

You missed it a purpose!

Yes, I did.

I couldn't beat that fellow.

I didn't have the heart to.

He was...

He was just too pretty.

- Hello, Miss Oakley.

- Hello.

Mrs. Oakley. You know,

in all the excitement,

I completely forgot

to get that bet of yours covered.

When I remembered,

I had to chase all this way to find you.

- Honest, you didn't bet the money?

- No, I didn't.

Gee, now, I can pay back the boys.

Just a minute. There's something else
