Tom and Huck Page #4

But I seen the map!

I say you're lyin'.

I say

there ain't no map.

- And there never was.

-[ Man ] String him up.!

Who all thinks Muff Potter's

a drunk...

a liar and a murderer,

raise your hand!

[ Shouting ]

I say hang him!

All right, folks.

Let's just hold on here. Now, hold on.

Thank you.

Now, you folks wouldn't be trying

to deny me the pleasure...

of presidin' over a trial,

now would ya?

You all right,

Mr. Potter?

After all, what would be the point

of having a new judge in town...

- if you won't let me judge anything?

- We all know he's guilty.!

- Ow! Hey!

- We all know you're an idiot, Ed Dobbins.

Listen to me,

you pointy-headed ghouls.

Muff Potter may be

the scum of the earth...

but he deserves a fair trial,

and I aim to see he gets one.

Judge, how soon can you

get this business started?

I should be able to start hearin' evidence

day after tomorrow.

Settled. Now, the rest of you good citizens,

you be on your way.

Let the law do its job.

Come on.

Let's go, Muff.

I didn't do it, Tom.

I swear. I didn't do it.

[ Children ] # There's gonna be a hanging

There's gonna be a hanging #

You wanna drop dead

and rot?

Muff s innocent, Huck.

We gotta help him.

We ain't gotta do nothin'.

You'd let him hang

for somethin' he didn't do?

It ain't no skin

off my back.

What if we could get

the map?

We could prove Muff was tellin' the truth,

and it wouldn't make us break our oath.

Only one little problem.

That map is in Injun Joe's pocket.

- Well, if you're scared--

- Why should I stick my neck out

for Muff Potter?

- 'Cause we know he didn't do it.

- So?

- So not doin' anything about it is wrong.

- Says who?

[ Sighs ]

- What if it was you in Muff s shoes?

- It ain't.

- What if it was me?

- If you was that stupid...

maybe you'd deserve

what was comin' to you.

It's not

what friends do, Huck.

I thought

we was friends.

Maybe I don't know

what you're talkin' about.

## [ Humming ]

- Hello, Tom.

- Hey, Becky.

Sorry I pushed you

in the creek yesterday.

You can push me in

if you want to.

I would.

I just don't feel like it right now.

Thank you.

What's the matter, Tom?

Oh, nothin'.

- You can tell me.

- [ Sighs ]

I won't ever tell

anybody.

[ Sighs ]

Here.

This is for you.

Thanks.

You ever been engaged,

Becky?

No.

How do you do it?

Well, you gotta tell the person

that you love 'im.

Then what?

Well, then you're supposed

to kiss.

- Really?

- Sure.

- You first.

- I love you. There. Now you gotta say it to me.

Turn your face away.

- And you can't tell anybody ever.

- I won't.

I love you.

Well, I... guess everything's done

but the kissin' part.

[ Gasps ]

Here.
