Don't be hasty.

Think it over.

No. I came here to settle down.

I'm sick of employment in gun play.

It's only got me a trail of dead

men and a heap of enemies.

All we want you to do is break

the power of the Northrups.

We'll back you up to the limit.

If this West is going to be a fit place

to live in, you've got to do your share.

You owe it to the West, Mister Johnson.

It is your duty.

We're appealing to you, Mister Johnson.

Old Northrup wants to bet a thousand

dollars you won't line up for this.

Yeah?

Yeah.

He told Ben Burley.

That's right.

Old Northrup, eh?

Yeah.

Where is the badge?

Well Mister Johnson, I'm mighty glad

that you accepted the badge.

And you can depend upon my

paper to back you to the limit.

Thank you very much.

How do you do, Mr Johnson. I understand

you're to stay with us for quite a ..

Well. Congratulations!

We need men like you.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Hey, wait a minute.

Haven't I seen you in Wichita, Kansas?

No.

Wait a minute.

Get out of town.

I'll give you until sundown.

Come on.

Things are picking up.

Sure they are.

??????

25. 35. 45.

A few more holes like this and

you and me will be sitting pretty.

We will, we will.

45. 50.

80. 85. 90. 95. One.

Hey Luther.

Hi Frame.

What is it, Frame?

Brandt, Deadwood. Come here.

You've gone and got

yourself another badge, eh?

Why did you do it?

I had to.

I knew something would happen.

Things have been going too smooth.

I thought it was my duty.

Frame, you're a funny man.

I just can't figure you out. Have

you got to have yourself a star?

I thought you was through

enforcing the law.

I was ready to put my irons away.

Well .. the council prevailed on me.

Like they did in Dodge City.

And Wichita.

You saw what happened here the other

night. Having trouble with the Northrups.

Well, that's different.

These towns don't like lawmen.

Frame, you know that as well as I do.

Somebody's got to do it.

Someday six-guns will all be put away and

this will be a fit country to live in.

Until then .. well,

I'm going to do my share.

I'll try to do it alone. Peaceful.

Alone!

Oh, we'll be drug into it.

Not that I mind.

That settles it .. I'm willing.

Well, looks like in Tombstone here

we're going to get that lead breakfast.

I bet it's going to be

a pretty good show.

Hey Frenchie, what does this say?

Camille.

And at the top?

Lotta Starling.

Yeah? Hey Brandt, fellahs .. look!

Lotta's coming to town.

Sure enough. She'll be here Monday.

Well, can you buy that?

It is four years since I saw her last.

Down the panhandle, remember?

Good for a pan?

Ace, three.

Ace, King.

A seven, King.

Ace, six.

Ace, deuce.

King, deuce.
