The Gunfighter Page #5

- Have you gone crazy?

- Get your hand off that door.

- That's murder.

- And when he killed Roy?

- You're not even sure that was Ringo.

- He was in the bunch.

But you don't know that.

That's just what people said.

Please don't get us in any more trouble.

We've got all straightened out now.

You're wasting your breath, Alice. All I know

is, Ringo killed my boy and I will kill Ringo.

Just as soon as he walks out that door.

- Did that boy take care of my horse?

- Getting cleaned up right now, Jimmie.

Here he comes!

Never do that again, Alice. Never!

I know what I'm doing

and I'm gonna do it.

Confound that boy.

Archie? Say, any of you fellas seen Archie?

Yeah, Mac. He just went

to the store a minute ago.

Archie. Archie!

- Here I am, Mac.

- See when Mr Ringo's horse will be ready.

- And hurry up, Archie.

- All right, Mac.

- Mac, Ringo don't look so tough to me.

- Then go in there and take a punch at him.

For what? I ain't got nothing against the man.

Here's the marshal. He'll shoot Ringo.

He can't. He don't even carry a gun.

Why aren't you kids in school?

Nothing doing, Jimmie. She says

she's sorry but that's all there is to it.

- Did you say it was important?

- I told her what I told you,

and offered to fix it up for her on the quiet

if she wanted to see you.

- What else?

- What else what?

Are you sure you didn't talk against me?

Who's asking the dumb questions now?

Didn't she give no explanation at all?

What explanation could she give

that you don't already know?

If I could only talk to her

forjust a few minutes.

How does she look, Mark?

Just about the same, I guess.

A little older butjust as pretty.

- Did you see my boy?

- No. He's on the loose today.

- What do you mean?

- Do you hear those boys on the street?

Yeah.

He's one of them.

Which one, Mark?

Well, I...

I don't see him right now.

If that ain't a fine way to bring up a kid,

hanging around a saloon!

- Ain't you got a school in this town?

- Yep.

We've got a school here.

You broke it up, partner.

They all come down to see Jimmie Ringo.

The big gun. The great hero.

Does my... Does my kid

think I'm kind of a hero?

Nope. As a matter of fact,

I understand he's a Wyatt Earp man.

- Earp? You ought to have taught him better.

- Me? Where was you all this time?

I beg your pardon, both of you gentlemen,

for interrupting you,

but this is a serious situation for me, Marshal.

What is it?

The truth of the matter, sir,

is that Wes Fuller is burning my house down.

- What's he doing that for?

- Well...

he just felt like it, Marshal. That's the only

excuse in the worid he's got. Just felt like it.

- Drunk?

- He certainly don't act altogether cold sober.
