Support Your Local Sheriff! Page #6

other people told him you was coming.

I hear you're gonna try and arrest me.

You don't look near as tough

as those other sheriffs we've had lately.

Particularly that old boy who done run off

an hour and a half after he took the job.

Joe, you just make me feel tired all over

when you talk like that.

Now, what do you mean by that?

It's bad enough to have to kill a man

without having to listen

to a whole lot of stupid talk from him first.

And remember, Joe, I've seen you draw.

All right, Sheriff, hold it.

Now, drop your gun belt.

- I couldn't let him shoot you in the back.

- Oh, you could have.

Is this the kind of town you people

want for yourselves, this kind of life?

Three killings in one saloon alone

and the sun hasn't even gone down yet.

Any more of this foolishness,

I'll close this place up tight.

- Yes, sir. I wouldn't blame you a bit, sir.

- Pick it up, Joe. Go on, pick it up.

I'm gonna get you for this, Jake.

You are the toughest-talkin' blowhard

I ever heard.

You might as well come on. Whether you

like it or not, we're on the same side now.

Come on, Joe.

Take it easy, boys. Me and the sheriff

takes a dim view of show-offs with guns.

Remember.

No more shooting till the sun goes down.

- Is that what he said?

- Close enough.

Drinks are on the house.

Jake, why don't you look around the desk

and see if you can find a deputy's badge?

I never said I was taking no job

as a deputy.

You're tryin' to corner me into this.

I'm surprised

at what's happening to me too.

I was just ridin' through on my way

to Australia... Where are you going?

- This is just plain stupid.

- Are you callin' the sheriff stupid?

Do I have to listen to him?

He's the town character.

Was the town character!

I'm now deputy sheriff and probably

the second fastest gun around here.

- Did you hear that?

- He probably is.

If he isn't, he will be after I have a chance

to work with him for a couple of days.

Come on, Joe.

Joe, the cell on the right here is yours.

We don't have any bars yet.

- You're kiddin'.

- That's what I said.

But we're going to operate

just as if the bars were there.

You stay on that side of the line

and everything should work out fine.

What?

While you're in this jail,

you stay on that side of the line

and you and I will get along fine.

You expect me to sit here

in this lousy cell...?

What is that red stuff

all over the floor there?

Oh, that's the poor fella

that crossed the line earlier today.

Now, Joe, you just stay right there

and behave yourself.

- Maybe if you wanted something to read.

- Read?

No, I guess you wouldn't.

Sorry.

- Well, I see you found a badge.

- Yeah.

Are we gonna set out
