Hot Lead and Cold Feet Page #5

You own the town,

the land, the money,

the land as far

as the eye can see.

You're rich, Billy!

Rich!

It's almost too good

to be true.

I thought that'd soften you up.

Don't forget,

I'm the one who told you.

[Man talking indistinctly]

Sheriff,

I think I know those men.

Well, I think it's time

for a round of drinks.

- Yeah!

- Yeah!

What'll you have?

A cup of tea, please.

[Laughter]

- I've sent for the tea.

- Thank you very much.

- BILLY:
Yeeeee-ha!

- [Gunshots]

Outta my way, you varmint!

If you wasn't right here,

I'd swear that sounds like you.

[Indistinct yelling]

Yeeeee-hoooo!

MAN:

Now there's two of 'em!

Liven it up! Yeah!

Yeeeeee-hooooo!

He looks just like

a real gunfighter.

I don't think we know him

as well as we thought.

Yeah! Yeah!

Hah!

This saloon is deader

than Boot Hill!

Party needs livenin' up.

That's Eli over there.

Twins?

Twin brothers!

Isn't that wonderful?

What's this?

[Gunshot]

I thought I shot out

that mirror!

Don't fire.

No.

[Breathing heavily]

Holy smoke.

The mirror's talkin' to me.

I'm not a mirror.

No.

I don't like this.

How come there's two of me?

I said, "How come

there's two of me?"

Hold it, Billy.

There ain't two of you.

There's one of each.

Brothers, spittin' images.

Brothers?

Oh, isn't that marvelous?

I'm overjoyed.

Well, I don't need

no spittin' image!

Hold it, Billy!

Hold it!

Now, we got us

a brand-new will.

Now, it mentions the fact

that you got a brother,

but it don't say nothin'

about him bein' a twin.

Well, I don't need no brother,

nor no spittin' twin!

Like it or not,

want it or not,

need it or not,

you got him!

Just whose side are you on,

Mayor?

Oh, Mayor Ragsdale?

- Uh, yes.

- Eli Bloodshy, sir.

I've got a letter

asking me to look you up

regarding my inheritance.

Your inheritance?

Now, not so fast.

Now, how do we know

he's a real Bloodshy?

You talk funny,

like a foreigner.

Well, I've got

my birth certificate.

I've got my license to

drive a cart in Philadelphia.

And I'm expecting my preaching

permit any day now.

Oh, Lordy, it ain't bad enough

I got me a brother.

He's a tambourine whacker!

[Laughter]

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, Eli.

Eli, sir.

Yes, Eli.

Yes, we do have an inheritance,

but there's

a little contest involved.

What kind of a contest?

Between the two of you.

It's spelled out

right in here.

Yes, in detail.

Uh, yes.

There it is.

"Winner take all. "

Between him and me?

Ha!

[Laughter]

What does it consist of?

Oh, just a little race.

[Laughing] Nothin' to be

worried about.

You come on now, Eli.

Let me show you the town

that your daddy built.

I'll see you later, Billy.

A little race, huh?
