The Outlaw Josey Wales Page #3

GRANNIE:
They say you're a hard-put

and desperate man.

They're going to heel and hog you

to a barn door.

-You know what I say?

-What's that?

I say that big talk's worth diddlysquat.

Now them poultices be laced with

feather moss and mustard root.

Mind you drop water on them

occasionally and keep them damp.

Much obliged, Grannie.

You can pay me when you see me again,

Josey Wales.

I reckon so.

SIM [SINGING]:
There's buckwheat cakes

And injun batter

Makes you fat or a little fatter

Look away, look away, look away

Dixieland

That sure is a sweet sound

to the ears...

...wouldn't you say so, Mr. Wales?

Your young friend can use some help.

This is it. One dollar a bottle.

It works wonders on wounds.

Works wonders on

just about everything.

It can do most anything.

How is it with stains?

SIM:

Here we go.

Come on, come on. Yeah.

Yeah.

Dismount. Disembark, children.

[GUNSHOT]

MAN:

Get that back!

Bring it back!

Bring that barge back!

Bring it back!

Whupped them again, Josey.

SIM:

They're hollering for me to come over!

I can't hold on.

But I'll hold on until you fellows

get out of sight.

All right?

I'll make do something's wrong--

Pull, Lemuel. Pull!

I'll make do something's wrong,

until you get going.

I wish you all lots of luck.

Pull, Lemuel, pull!

[SINGING]

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton

He ain't going to hold up no ferry.

He's going to bring that cavalry

over fast as he can.

Yeah.

Reckon there's a nice reward out

for us about now.

SIM:
Mine eyes have seen the glory

Of the coming of the Lord

He is trampling out the vintage....

We got him now.

We'll get those two first,

then the others.

What others?

Wales and the kid are the last ones.

Oh, no. Texas is full of rebels.

Lots of work to do down in Texas.

We get Josey Wales and it ends.

Doing right ain't got no end.

[GRANNIE LAUGHS]

We best hurry on, Josey.

They'd catch up to us

by the end of the day.

Judging by these tracks,

there's maybe...

...40, 50 horses ahead of us.

What we've got to do is space some time

between them and us.

What are we going to do?

Stay right here.

Welcome.

Welcome, gentlemen.

Please come aboard.

Howdy.

Pull, Lemuel.

-He's still there.

SIM:
Still there?

What does he think he's doing?

Don't know.

Some of you men get down there.

Prepare to fire.

Captain Redlegs...

...I advise you to turn back.

You can catch him later.

Turn back? Are you crazy?

He'll try to pick us off one by one.

He'll never do it.

At best, he'll get two

or three up front.

-I advise you to turn back, captain.

-They're coming.

Do you really think you can shoot

all those men down...

...before they shoot you?

Oh, no, no, Mr. Josey Wales!
