And here's your gun.

Good hunting!

I'm Jack McCall,

Mr. Hickok.

Tickled to death

to be traveling with you.

Pleased to meet you.

Hey, your toothpick's on fire.

This ain't a toothpick.

''Cigareetes,'' they

call them back East.

Oh, I see.

A new fad, huh?

Hmm?

Barkeep, bring me

an applejack, will ya?

Yes, sir.

You want one?

No.

I call ya.

I have ace, king, queen,

jack and a ten.

Sorry, mister.

Mr. Hickok.

I'd like to speak to you.

Good evening, ma'am.

I'm Louisa Cody.

Will's told me how long

you've been friends...

and how you fought

for him once.

He says you don't

trust women.

Not as a rule, Mrs. Cody.

But in your case--

Mr. Hickok,

I'm going to help Will.

Don't you believe I can?

Well, I don't know, ma'am.

I'll open.

He killed his

first Indian at 1 2.

But he's not--

At 1 4, he was

riding Pony Express.

He's one of the

best natural scouts

on the frontier.

Will's promised

to give up scouting

and killing Indians...

and all that nonsense.

The West is in his blood.

You can't change that.

But you've been away

from it so long.

It is changing,

and why shouldn't

Will change with it?

We're going to start

a little hotel.

Cody?

Yes.

Someday you may be

one of our neighbors

with a wife of your own.

Excuse me, ma'am,

but the hotel keeper

seems to be in trouble...

with his neighbors

right now.

I'll bet you $20.

Hello, Bill.

Don't play that hand.

- Why not?

- Maybe you can

trust one woman--

authorities differ--

but three?

Not on your life.

Your wife wants to talk to you.

She's outside.

Well, if you don't mind,

gentlemen.

It's all right.

How much money

did you lose?

About $48.

I'll sit in for you.

Any objections, gentlemen?

No, no objections

at all.

We've got new blood

in the game.

Heinie.

Yes, sir?

Take the gentlemen's order.

Take the order all around.

Rye for me.

Applejack, please.

Rye.

No, thank you.

Ante.

Cut.

Heinie?

Yes, sir.

Bring me something cool.

Yes, sir.

Well,

I'll bet you $50.

I'll see that

and raise you 1 00.

On that watch?

Yes, it's a

mighty fine watch.

Plays a tune whenever you press

that little spring. See?

It ain't worth $1 50.

It is to me.

I'll redeem that watch

anytime for a thousand.

All right, I'll take your word

on it, and I'll up ya 300.

And I'll call ya.

They're all blue, mister.

Watch yourself.

What's the matter?

I'm calling the hand

that's in your hat.

Take it off!.

Take a look,

Mr.Jayhawker.

The name is Hickok.

Hickok?

Not Wild Bill Hickok?

Mr. Hickok to you.

I'm calling this hand.

And I'm taking this pot.

Maybe I ought to shoot

a couple of holes through

your ears, so we'll know you.

Men like you

ought to be marked.
