The Texas Rangers Page #3

That's what I was trying

to tell you. Texas Rangers.

Texas Rangers, huh?

If that's

the way they work,

I'm gonna stay clear of 'em.

They got

no sense of humor.

I motion we adjourn

to the nearest saloon

and talk over

this episode at Iength.

I second the motion.

JIM AND WAHOO:

Therefore, as a member

of the Ranger Force of Texas,

I do solemnly swear...

To make the peace

and preserve Iaw and order.

BOTH:
To make the peace

and preserve Iaw and order.

To the best

of my ability.

BOTH:

To the best of my ability.

AII this to the end

that the State of Texas

may be a safe place

in which to Iive.

BOTH:
AII this to the end

that the State of Texas

may be a safe place

in which to Iive.

So help me God.

Well?

BOTH:
So help me God.

Sign right here.

We don't ask

too many questions

when a man joins the Rangers.

Courage, a good head

and a better aim,

that's about all

that's required.

Those men died

with their boots on,

not for the small wage

they receive,

but for an ideal,

the determination to make

this state a civilized place

in which to Iive,

and so, Hawkins, Jones,

you enter into a service

which holds a fine heritage.

If you're worth

two hoops in Hades,

it'II bring it out of you.

If you're not,

it'II bring that out, too.

Fair enough.

Oh, here's

some regulations you boys

better be Iooking over.

That's all, boys.

Hiya, Ranger.

He doesn't know it yet,

but he's got a couple

of star boarders

for the rest of his Iife,

the old buzzard.

Look, hard head, there's

a Iot more to this job than

40 bucks a month and chuck,

a Iot more.

You tell me.

I'm all ears.

I can't tell you just yet.

I gotta figure it out first,

but Iisten,

there ain't a game

in this world

that wasn't made to be beat

if you're dealing the cards.

AII right, my proud beauty,

when you get around to it,

deal me in, will you?

Meantime, I'II take

these rules and regulations

and put 'em

next to my heart.

Don't Iet it

worry you, son.

"Rangers are instructed

to return all stolen cattle

to their rightful owner.

"When a Ranger

is assigned to protect

a shipment of gold..."

And hen I meet a stagecoach

How happy I would feel

How happy I would feel

How happy I would feel

Hey, boy, put a Iittle

sow butter in them beans.

I'm kind of hungry today.

"To make Texas a safe place

to Iive in."

What's the matter, Ranger?

What are you so happy about?

Hey, Walrus,

did you ever see this one?

Fake Iow, catch you

with the backhand.

Never misses.

Oh, boy! A hammock!

Say, I think

I'II take me a nap.

Call me

when dinner's ready, friend.

In my time,

you had to be a man

to join the Rangers.

Hey, anybody home?

Just want to use the hammock.
