can't make it.

Why can't he make it?

Because the poor sucker's

on his way...

Sheriff, don't you have

anything better to do?

No, not now.

Go out and find Wild Billy.

Wild Billy?

Tell him it's official.

He's rich.

Wild Billy?

It's good news, Sheriff.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Good news.

Then maybe he won't

want a shoot-out.

I'll tell him.

Very rich.

ELI:

Isn't it beautiful, children?

All you can see for miles.

[Caws]

MARCUS:
Look at that.

ELI:
Bloodshy.

It's my name etched in wood.

So, where will you

be staying?

How about the saloon?

Children can't stay

at a saloon.

Why not? We're used to

places like that.

And there's a lot

of souls to save there.

I've made arrangements

at a boardinghouse.

I'm sure

they'll have room for you.

- Thank you very much.

- A boardinghouse?

That's not where all

the shooting and fighting is.

99.9% of all towns in the West

are peaceful little villages

where nothing ever happens.

Get all that other stuff

out of your head, hmm?

[Gunfire, explosions]

[Neighing]

Wow!

Hah!

Whoa!

I think we're here.

I don't believe it.

Ohh!

[Coughing]

Oh, uh, sorry.

Mr. Bloodshy,

are you all right?

I think so, yes.

Step aside!

Oh!

Ooh!

[Whistles]

Why, you...

Sorry.

[Coughing]

Stop, thief!

Get that varmint!

- Where is he?!

- I didn't see him.

There he goes.

Get down!

Get down!

You sidewinder!

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!

Just a minute!

Just a minute!

Do you mind?

Thank you.

This is no way

to solve a problem.

If a man is guilty

of a crime,

he should be judged

in a court of law,

not by mob rule and violence.

[All muttering in agreement]

- Yeah, sure.

- Whatever you say.

Just because

these men are mean,

it doesn't mean

they won't listen to reason.

Now, can you tell me

where the sheriff is?

I've got something for him.

There he goes again!

He's gone crazy!

Outta my way!

Maybe we'll find him

in the saloon.

No, not we.

Me.

You're off to the boardinghouse

with Miss Willingham.

- Aw, Eli.

- Jenny.

Besides,

you two could use a nap.

Good idea.

Eli, we're too old

to take a nap!

Give us a break!

[Piano music plays]

Yo!

Get up here!

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah, me and Wild Billy

are just like that.

Leastways, we're gonna be.

I got some news

that's gonna keep him in booze,

babes, and...

Sheriff?

- Billy, don't shoot!

- Pardon?

I got good news!

We got the will.

I seen it myself

in black and white.

I cross my heart

and hope to die.

Oh, Billy, no.

Let's just check

that cannon, okay?

Thank you very much.

One of man's

most destructive weapons.

What are you doin'

in that crazy suit?

That's all right.

You can wear what you want.

You can do what you want.
