gotta throw back cause it's...

Too small, is it?

It'd still be just fine don't you think?

I'm no rustler.

Look, I told you, I... I...

You're an accountant.

From Dallas, was it?

What building is your office in?

It's in the First National building.

Yeah.

What street is that on?

It's on hm...

It's on.

You're lying, fella.

You're one of them.

Now be a good time to tell us

where the rest of the goddamn bunch is.

Alright I lied but...

Hanging time!

Get his feet tied.

You gotta believe me!

You gotta believe me, I only lied because

I was scared. Just because I was scared.

You gotta be plenty scared of boy.

Plenty!

Oh Daryl, that is the most fun we ever had.

Aren't you people listening

to me, God-damn it!

I am not who you think I am.

It's me.

Maybe I'm not being clear.

Hanging time!

Jesus, this will always be

the room we hanged somebody.

We turn the living room into the dying room.

If I was you...

I bet you have the right answers right now.

Save my ass.

Last chance for you to say.

Listen to me, I'm telling you the truth.

Please don't do this!

You're going to have to

speak plainer than that.

Do the twist, Bob, do the frickin' twist.

Look at him!

Is he dying now?

Does it look like that to die?

He's getting his lights turned out right now.

He's done better than hell.

Do it, baby, do it!

A few more seconds!

God damn it!

Jesus, what did you do that for?

Jesus, Rudy!

Why'd you let him do that?

You spoiled everything Rudy!

You spoiled the whole party!

You mind if we join you sugar?

Excuse me.

I said you mind if we sit down?

You look awful lonesome

sitting there all by yourself.

I'd like to be by myself, thank you.

Well hell.

Pretty lady like you without

company now that's a damn shame

Shame, nothing, it's a damn waste.

Well I'm waiting for my husband.

Sure you are. Sh*t.

Any man lets his woman sit alone drinking

in a bar got to be some kind of f*ggot.

Is that true?

Is your husband a f*ggot?

Hey, well now, I guess, I'm going

to be your first real man.

You're gonna be her second.

Don't.

Hey look, come on honey, now what do you say

we go up and kill us a bottle of champagne?

Please!

Hey, come on now you can

try being a bit more friendly.

I said no, damn it!

Damn lesbian!

Why don't you get up, baby?

Yeah, yeah, I am here, I am coming, coming!

Well if it ain't Sleeping Beauty!

Now I'm out here working

you're still in the sack.

Got something?

Maybe.

Come on in, I'll

fix you some coffee.

What have you got?

They had a shooting last night

down in LaSalle County.

Couple big time ranchers and woman.

That sounds pretty routine.

Yeah I know but the assailant left on foot.
