The Good Guys and the Bad Guys Page #4

to pay the debt

we all owe to this courageous man

and to show our appreciation

for a job well done.

Jim Boy, in appreciation

for long and outstanding service,

we present you with this gift.

Well, open it, Jim Boy, open it.

Read the card, Jim, read the card.

"To James Flagg, Marshal emeritus."

Yes, that's the sentiment

we're gonna inscribe on it later.

I didn't have time today.

And, folks, with the watch

goes a full pension for life!

Carefree days of whittling and fishing.

And each year henceforth,

this day shall be known as Flagg Day!

Now we all know

that it's gonna be mighty difficult

to fill Marshal Flagg's boots,

but there is a man among us

who's gonna give it a first-rate try.

Howard Boyle has youth! He has integrity.

He's bold, ambitious and he's honest.

And he will give us the kind

of law enforcement that we all need.

I give you Howard Boyle.

"It's a... It's a great honor to..."

Louder, louder.

"It's a great honor

"to be chosen marshal of this fine city.

"I shall endeavor to carry out the duties

"and responsibilities of my new office

"in the fine tradition of my predecessor.

"With the..."

- Aid.

- "...aid and support

"of our great mayor and all of you,

"I feel confident of the continued growth

"and prosperity of our great city."

Thank you.

Howard, thank you.

And now, by way of celebrating,

the town treasury,

with a little persuading from me,

has decided to foot the bill at Polly's.

Drinks on the house.

A lawman's lost when he has no star

And when you're licked

people know you are

They give him a watch and with that gem

In a minute flat he's just a bust

'Cause he's just like one of them

It's tough to hear

that you're all washed up

But he drinks the dregs of that bitter cup

He says, "You fool, keep cool, keep cool"

Then a door that's monogrammed

with his name is fiercely slammed

And then he thinks

"Well, I'll be damned"

Marshal Flagg

Marshal Flagg

Beneath his shirt his shoulders sag

Where to go, he doesn't know

No future for Marshal Flagg

No future for Marshal Flagg

No, thank you.

I still don't figure what you're gonna do.

You can't take them all on.

You aiming to get McKay first?

Don't know why you're even bothering.

Let McKay pull it off.

Teach that rotten town a lesson.

It's not the town's fault, Grundy.

They thought they were honoring me.

Honor!

Hell, they don't even know

the meaning of the word.

Why, probably not more than a dozen

even recollect

what a hellhole that place was

before you pinned on your badge.

Well, it's too late to

do anything about it now. It's done.

I got McKay to think about.

- I'll get my gun.

- Oh no, you're not coming.
