Rooster Cogburn Page #4

---

You have a lot of brass, Marshal.

You will have need

of it before we're through.

She sings a loud tune.

To make sure

the Good Lord hears me.

Yeah. Go saddle the horses, son.

They there?

- Yeah.

You pushed your luck too far.

Now we got Injuns after us, too.

We gotta risk it. We're going through.

- Hold it.

When I signal, follow.

When I throw the stuff,

move fast.

Alright, Hawk.

Bring it on down.

I'd say I earned my money today.

You did

what I paid you for, that's all.

Rooster.

- Yeah, it's me...

and what's left of Fort Ruby.

Take care of 'em, Bagby.

You know Miss Goodnight?

Are you alright, Miss Goodnight?

- I'm fine, thank you. Hello, Winona.

Them deputies show up yet?

- Not a sign of 'em.

I'll bet my drunken cat they

ain't comin'. I ain't waitin' for 'em.

Bagby, that is a strong-minded woman.

Be careful, or she'll end up owning

your store and you workin' for her.

Keep the faith, Ma'am.

See you at the hangin'.

Wolf, come with me.

Protect yourself.

Wolf, on my horse.

Bye-bye. Thank you.

Mr. Bagby, I'm purchasing this

Winchester, the scabbard and shells.

Thank you for your hospitality.

But, Miss Goodnight...

- Goodbye, sir. God bless you.

Marshal Cogburn.

Alright, what is it?

We're riding with you.

- You're riding nowhere with me.

We won't slow you down, sir.

- Right, 'cause you ain't comin'.

We'll have to ride hard

to overtake them. - We ain't goin'.

I ride hard and alone.

I eat light and sleep on the ground.

Understood. We should reach

Cheyenne Springs by sundown.

Breed. Hurry up.

Hawk don't trust a hired gun

at his back. - Just at his side.

Not there, neither. Breed's

not on our side. Breed's a whore.

Hawk paid for his services. He'd sell

us to the law if they paid better.

Let's get movin'.

We're fightin' time.

Marshal Cogburn,

just wait a minute, please.

I feel that you are angry with me.

You are an almighty trial.

This is man's work, and dangerous.

For whatsoever a man soweth,

that shall he also reap.

I will make sure of what

my father's murderers reap.

You will make sure of nothing, sister.

I will.

You do your crocheting or fingernail

fixin', but stay out of my way.

Just a minute, I'm not through.

It came to me at Bagby's

that I must help pursue these men.

I cannot shirk it. You're

a peace officer. I'm sure that

you understand duty.

I dreamed that life was beauty.

I woke and found that life was duty.

I don't suppose you know

the poems of Ella Sturgis Hooper?

No, ma'am, and I ain't interested

in hearing 'em. Forget your duty.

Your own General Lee

found it the most beautiful word.

What do you know about Lee?

That he was a good Christian
