The Far Side of Jericho Page #4

Your beautiful Frank.

Didn't know the difference between

a cow flop and a busted flush.

I was born in a cook's

wagon on the Chisholm Trail.

I've been following

cow flops all my life.

It's a lot better than being brought

up in a whorehouse, isn't it, Bridget?

Well, we could become

bank robbers.

We couldn't do any worse

than the boys did.

Gang.

What do you

think, Maxine?

Jake's following us with as

many as he can get to ride.

And?

I'll shoot the first three

horses and they'll go back.

But Jake won't.

Some of the others.

Why not just shoot

the a**holes?

Horse makes

a bigger target.

You sure we can

hold 'em off here?

This is the best spot.

You don't care to cover.

Watch my back, keep on

goin' and I'll catch up.

Nobody's talking

about going.

I am!

Too late.

Hold the horses,

ladies, they're comin'.

Come on.

Get 'em, boys!

Come on Jeb,

get back.

God damn you,

Maxine!

Come and get us,

pisswilly!

Tell us where the money

is. We'll leave you alone!

If only we knew!

Ah, sh*t!

That's it.

Maxine!

We're comin' in!

Come on, you cheap

trick mediocre f***!

We'll send you home to momma

crying like a red-headed stepchild!

Get down!

They got us

by the nuts!

They ain't going anywhere

we can't find 'em.

Let's go back

and have a drink.

For heaven's sake,

stop that, Bridget.

That was great.

I am blind

as a bat.

What's new?

Are they gonna

keep chasin' us?

We'll take 'em down to

the breaks and lose them.

They'll be hung over,

saddle sore and tired.

I'm guessing they'll

go back to town.

We can go home

after that.

Are you out of your mind, Maxine?

You can't go back there,

we can never go back.

We didn't do anything wrong,

except marry the wrong bunch.

Gang. They liked to be

called the Thornton Gang.

Maybe they did

bury some money.

Why shouldn't we have it?

They stole it fair and square.

I was thinking maybe I

could go to San Francisco.

You could change your name and teach again.

If you sobered

up enough.

I would rather wipe asses

than snotty-nosed kids.

Drove me to drink

in the first place.

I'm not going back

to punching cattle.

Stop it, Claire.

Cash wasn't worth one

of your bloody socks.

I'm gonna go take a leak before I throw up.

If I was you,

darlin',

I wouldn't piss on that sidewinder

underneath that piece of wood.

Where the hell

did you come from?

I don't rightly

know, honey bug.

I guess something

must've gone wrong.

What are you doin'?

Saving your life,

looks like.

Who's that woman

with you?

Well, I don't know.

J ust some woman I met.

It's always just some goddamn

woman you met, you turd blossom.

Little Jemmy,

we gotta go.

We gotta go now.
