Lady Killers

JD:

Wonder what could be taking so long?

VIN:

Judge's gotta make sure he's hangin' the right man.

CASEY:

Looks like Pud Garber's in for some throat trouble.

JD:

That man's as guilty as the devil himself.

CASEY:

Wanna watch the hangin' with me?

JD:

A hangin' ain't no place to take a girl.

CASEY:

Where do you take a girl?

JD:

I don't know, uh... a haystack maybe.

CASEY:

I'd rather go to a hangin'.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Garber, there's still time. You don't have to hang if you tell us where Del Spivak's gang is.

GARBER:

Ol' Del's sure got you hot and bothered, don't he, Judge?

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Look, you piece of dirt, my friend was killed in that stagecoach robbery, and somebody's gonna pay for it.

GARBER:

Take an IOU?

CHRIS:

Get down!

VIN:

Get outta the way!

MAN:

Come on, Kirkland!

[horse neighs]

MAN:

Let's ride, Garber! Here's your gun. Take it!

CHRIS:

JD, on your left!

[gunshot]

MATTIE:

We got this one, Katie.

KATE:

Yeah, we got him in the side.

CHRIS:

Who the hell are they?

JUDGE:

I don't know. Whoever they are, they can shoot.

NATHAN:

Vin!

VIN:

I'm busted up good, Nathan. Aah!

NATHAN:

Probably a couple of cracked ribs.

VIN:

I reckon.

NATHAN:

Ok, easy, easy.

JD:

You all right, Vin?

VIN:

Never better.

JD:

I'm going after 'em.

NATHAN:

Make sure he don't fall off his horse.

MATTIE:

Look at that. Clean through his flank, just like you said.

KATE:

Name's Kate Stokes. My sister Mattie.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Name's Judge Travis.

KATE:

We're bounty hunters. That's our bullet in him. The bounty's ours, too. Worth 100 alive.

BUCK:

Looks deader than a beaver hat to me.

MATTIE:

If I wanted him dead, he'd be dead.

NATHAN:

He'll live.

MATTIE:

Told ya.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Who is he?

KATE:

Del Spivak's scout. Name's Kirkland.

BUCK:

If you don't mind me asking, bounty hunting... It seems like dangerous work for such 2 such lovely young ladies as yourself.

KATE:

We thought about being wives and mothers, but half of them get beat, and the other half die in childbirth. Figured bounty huntin' was safer.

MATTIE:

Y'all got a saloon in this here cow town?

KATE:

You stay out of trouble, you hear?

MATTIE:

Don't I always?

KATE:

So I wanna question Kirkland.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

We'll take care of this. Maybe he'll help us find Spivak.

KATE:

Kirkland's mine. So is Spivak.

CHRIS:

I said we'll take care of it. You'll get your money.

BUCK:

You know it might not be a bad idea to let her have a go at it. I mean, I know I'd like to talk to a lady more than I would you any day, so no offense.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Maybe you got a point, Buck. We'll come and find you as soon as he's conscious.

KATE:

You do that.

CHRIS:

A lady? I wonder.

BUCK:

I'll let you know.

MATTIE:

You ain't bad-looking.

JOSIAH:

Guess I'll take that as a compliment.

MATTIE:

You like drinking alone?

JOSIAH:

Just me and my 3 friends-- Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.

MATTIE:

You're a preacher.

JOSIAH:

Not anymore.

MATTIE:

Once a preacher, always a preacher. Well, you stay the hell away from me. You preachers are bad luck.

EZRA:

Our own Mr. Dunne is imbued with far too much zeal. That boy would have rode all the way to Bolivia if I'd let him. Thank you.

JOSIAH:

I take it you lost 'em.

EZRA:

Indeed. When they reached the river. Rather clever for miscreants. Well, well. You must be one of the lovely bounty hunters I've been hearing so much about. You two certainly have this little town all abuzz.

MATTIE:

What do you want?

EZRA:

Well, it's not what I want that should interest you, but what I have to offer. You see, with your skill and my business acumen, well, my dear, I could make you famous.

MATTIE:

Or I could make you dead.

EZRA:

And so charming, too.

JD:

Josiah. I heard there's 2 bounty hunters in town. Supposedly they're ladies?

JOSIAH:

Imagine that.

JD:

Strange, huh? Hello.

MATTIE:

You'll do just fine.

EZRA:

What just happened there?

KATE:

Thanks.

BUCK:

That fancy red hat there, now, that would real pretty on you.

KATE:

Yeah. This cigar will taste better.

BUCK:

You know, you 2 ladies going after Del Spivak's gang alone... just sounds like a bad idea.

KATE:

Yeah, 'cause girls are too weak, right?

BUCK:

No, I didn't say that.

KATE:

Didn't have to. I know exactly what you think of women.

BUCK:

Oh, then why don't you tell me what it is that I think of women?

KATE:

All right. You like to have us around well enough. Look at, touch, keep you warm at night. Or to kick at when you're mad. Laugh at when we cry. You like it when we cry, don't you? Makes you feel strong.

BUCK:

You know... I do like to look at women. I can't deny it. I like to touch 'em, too. I love the shape and the smell of 'em... and the way their minds work. I mean... sometimes it just surprises the socks right off of me. If I could spend the rest of my life just tryin' to figure out how to make them happy... that would be a good life, indeed. That's the truth. Ma'am.

JD:

Miss, I'm really not sure that we should be doing this.

MATTIE:

Why? What's the matter, you got a disease or something?

JD:

No, not a disease. It's just that I, uh, well, you see, I kinda, I kinda got a girl.

MATTIE:

Kinda? Well, you don't seem too convinced about it.

JD:

No, it just don't feel right because we don't hardly know each other.

MATTIE:

Look, are you a man or not?

JD:

Yes.

MATTIE:

Yes. Well, then stop talking about all those other girls, and start kissing this one.

JD:

You know, uh... uh, so where you from?

MATTIE:

What does it matter?

JD:

It's just that I know girls like to talk, and I figured that if we talked for a while--

MATTIE:

I don't.

NATHAN:

Now, Vin, you're gonna have to take it real easy for a while.

VIN:

Got no plans to do any bronco bustin'

KATE:

Kirkland awake?

NATHAN:

You got a one-track mind, don't you?

KATE:

Judge said I could question him.

NATHAN:

Fine. I just gotta take Vin downstairs.

KATE:

Oh, I can handle Kirkland myself.

NATHAN:

If you wait, I'll be back in a minute, Ma'am.

VIN:

The girl's as gritty as eggs rolled in sand.

KIRKLAND:

Oh! Aah! What the hell are you doing here? Where's that colored doctor?

KATE:

He's tendin' someone who's worth a damn.

KIRKLAND:

Well, is Mattie with you?

KATE:

Oh, she's coming to talk to you next. Why don't you save her the trip? Start talkin'. Where's Del?

KIRKLAND:

Forget it. Ain't nothing you can do to me, Del can't do 5 times worse.

KATE:

Yeah?

KIRKLAND:

Ow! Oh! Ow!

KATE:

Men are such babies about pain.

CASEY:

Have you seen JD?

EZRA:

Hey, uh--

JOSIAH:

JD?

CASEY:

Yeah.

JOSIAH:

You mean, that little fella with the funny hat?

CASEY:

You know who I'm talking about. I heard he was hurt.

EZRA:

Oh, a mere bloody nose.

JOSIAH:

No.

JUDGE:

JD? I just saw him. He was heading toward the livery.

CASEY:

Thanks.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

What was this all about?

JOSIAH:

Just the end of innocence is all.

CASEY:

JD? JD?

JD:

Casey?

MATTIE:

Where you goin'?

JD:

Get away. It's not-- Casey, it didn't-- it didn't-- I mean, we-- oh, no, look what you've done now. Damn!

[ piano playing]

MAN:

What you got under them buckskins there, pretty lady?

KATE:

Hey! Hey! Hey! Mattie, I told you to stay out of trouble.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Tough customers, those two.

BUCK:

Oh, I suspect there's something nice and warm 'neath it all.

CHRIS:

I wouldn't count on it.

BUCK:

And speakin' of the ladies... anyone else here worried about them goin' after Spivak's gang alone? Might get themselves killed.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

I think Buck's concerns are valid.

CHRIS:

Buck's only concern is gettin' in their britches.

BUCK:

Don't make no difference what brings on the idea. It's still a good one.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

2 people, men or women, can't take on Spivak's whole gang. And not a chance in hell I'm gonna let them get away again. I want Del Spivak caught and hanged.

[horse neighs]

MAN:

Hey, Bart.

DEL:

Did you bring back Garber?

BART:

Del... Garber's dead. We got outnumbered and-- and then Garber got shot.

DEL:

Garber was my best explosives man.

BART:

I know, Del, I know. But 'tweren't nothin' we could do about it. Ha ha. At least this way, we can split his share of the money, huh? Aah!

DEL:

Something to remember Garber by. Maybe somebody will remember you that way, too. If you're lucky. Where's Kirkland?

BART:

He got shot. He's probably dead, too. It was them 2 sisters, Del. They's the ones that shot him.

DEL:

So, she's coming after me, is she? Hmm. Ha ha ha. Well, now this could get interesting. Ha ha ha ha ha.

[horse neighs]

KATE:

Where are you goin'?

BUCK:

A little huntin' party with you, darlin'.

KATE:

I told you, Kirkland didn't say nothing about Del Spivak.

CHRIS:

Suit yourself. We'll just follow you.

KATE:

Just stay out of our way.

CHRIS:

Spivak came for Garber. He could come for Kirkland.

EZRA:

We're ready for him.

VIN:

Watch your back.

EZRA:

Come on, Vin.

MATTIE:

Hey, I gotta reset my saddle. How are we gonna shake them?

KATE:

Can't on the trail. We have to wait till we get there.

JD:

Mattie? Let me give you a hand with that.

MATTIE:

I got it, JD.

JD:

You know, uh, about earlier, I just wanted to let you know that I do have a girl--

MATTIE:

Hell, JD, you weren't that good.

JOSIAH:

You sure know how to sweet-talk a man.

MATTIE:

I told you to keep your bad luck away from me.

JOSIAH:

What makes you think I'm such bad luck anyway?

MATTIE:

Every time a preacher's around, somebody dies. Last preacher I let near me was standin' Over my mama's grave, and I will shoot you dead before I'll have you standing over mine. Yes, sir, you sure know how to sweet-talk a man.

CHRIS:

When we come up on Spivak, I want you and your sister to stay back.

MATTIE:

Why don't you?

KATE:

We can handle ourselves.

CHRIS:

Don't doubt it, but it ain't you I'm worried about.

BUCK:

Why don't you ease up on 'em?

CHRIS:

Buck, just 'cause they're women, that don't mean you can trust 'em.

JD:

Nervous? You don't have to worry about Spivak, you know. We'll see he meets his end on a rope.

MATTIE:

Don't talk about ropes, you understand me?

JOSIAH:

Preachers and ropes. Any other superstitions we oughta know about?

MATTIE:

Nope. Just don't like talkin' of hangin', is all.

YOSEMITE:

Howdy, Vin.

CASEY:

[sobbing]

VIN:

You all right, Casey?

CASEY:

What would a man want from a woman... who happens to be a female bounty hunter?

VIN:

Depends on the man.

CASEY:

What if this man is JD?

VIN:

Well... could have nothing to do with the lady bounty hunter at all. Could be he's just sowin' his wild oats.

CASEY:

Sowin' his oats?

VIN:

Right.

CASEY:

Sowin' his oats?!

VIN:

Oh, that-that's just a sayin'.

CASEY:

Well, guess what? I got oats, too.

VIN:

I'm sure you do.

CASEY:

Yeah! And you know what? I'm gonna sow some. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.

VIN:

Now--now--now hold on there, Casey--

CASEY:

Startin' right now. With you.

VIN:

With me?!

CASEY:

Yeah, go! Come on.

VIN:

No, no! No.

CASEY:

Fine. You ain't interested in my oats? I'll find someone who is.

VIN:

Casey. Aw, hell.

CASEY:

You sure look handsome today, Ezra.

EZRA:

Why, thank you, Casey.

CASEY:

Fact, I always thought you were the handsomest of all the 7.

EZRA:

And I always thought you were a very perceptive young lady.

CASEY:

Um, you think I'm pretty?

EZRA:

As a picture.

CASEY:

Good, 'cause I was wondering if you wanted to go to the livery stable with me, sow some wild oats.

EZRA:

Uh, my darling girl!

CASEY:

If you're worried about JD shootin' you or something, it doesn't matter. Him and me are through. Come on.

EZRA:

I- I- I'm, uh, sorry to hear that, but, unfortunately, that does not relieve me of my obligation.

CASEY:

What obligation?

EZRA:

To the, uh, the--the... the brotherhood... of man. Uh, you see there's an unspoken rule which states that one must observe a waiting period before--before... courting a friend's former paramour.

CASEY:

I'll bet that waiting period would be about 2 minutes, if you wanted.

VIN:

Ow! Oooh! Well done, Ezra.

EZRA:

What just happened there?

CHRIS:

There are 8 of them down there. There could be more on watch. Buck and JD, go that way. You two take a position here. Josiah can come with me.

MATTIE:

So what now?

KATE:

Let 'em flush the gang cut. 'Cause you're not gonna catch Del that way. Knowing him, he's gonna sneak off in the opposite direction.

MATTIE:

That's where we'll catch him.

[inaudible conversations]

MAN:

Ohh!

MAN:

Look out!

[men shout to each other]

BUCK:

Get back to the girls.

JD:

No!

BUCK:

JD, watch out for 'em. Go!

MAN:

Unh!

[whistling]

DEL:

Well, well, if it isn't killer Kate and mad Miss Mattie.

MATTIE:

Hey, Del.

DEL:

You don't need that, do you? Uh-uh. Mattie, you, too.

MAN:

Aah!

DEL:

You know... I'd planned on killing you. But...now that I see you again, it occurs to me... Well... I've missed you.

MATTIE:

Me, too?

DEL:

Sure, Mattie. You, too.

MATTIE:

I want my share of the money, Del.

DEL:

Well...it's a shame, but... I can't recall where I put it.

MATTIE:

That's ok. Kate knows where it is.

KATE:

You talk in your sleep.

DEL:

Well, then I just might have to kill you after all.

JD:

Hey, Mister! Drop it.

MAN:

Hyah!

MAN:

Come on. Let's go!

MAN:

Hyah, hyah!

JOSIAH:

Chris, should we go after them?

CHRIS:

Where's JD?

BUCK:

He's back with the girls.

CHRIS:

All right, let's get back there. We'll catch up with them later.

MATTIE:

Sorry, Del.

JD:

You all right, Mattie?

MATTIE:

Get the hell out of here.

DEL:

Go ahead, Kate, it's why you're here.

JD:

What's going on here, Mattie? What's going on here, Mattie?

MATTIE:

Shut up, JD.

DEL:

Who's your little boyfriend, Mattie?

MATTIE:

He ain't my boyfriend.

JD:

Just exactly how well do you two know each other, Mattie?

DEL:

He sure talks like your boyfriend.

MATTIE:

I told you, he ain't!

KATE:

Ignore him, Mattie, he's just baitin' you.

DEL:

Shoot me, then, Kate. Go ahead.

JD:

All right, what in hell is going on here, Mattie?

MATTIE:

Shut up, JD. I said, shut up!

DEL:

Boy, I swear, Mattie, you'd have shot him by now if he wasn't your boyfriend, so who is he?

MATTIE:

Nobody.

JD:

[groans]

DEL:

You could have shot me, Kate. But... you're a woman.

KATE:

Come on!

KATE:

Follow me, Mattie.

[horses neigh]

KATE:

Hyah! Hyah!

BUCK:

Chris, it's JD! I found him!

DEL:

Hyah! Hyah!

JD:

Oh, Buck, oh. Oh, she shot me. Buck, oh, she shot me. Mattie shot me, Buck. Nice job it was...

BUCK:

Go after 'em, Chris. Gun 'em down if you have to, but just get 'em. Hyah, come on!

BUCK:

Hang on, JD! Hyah! Hyah! Come on!

KATE:

Hyah! Keep up, Mattie. Hyah!

BUCK:

Hey, Nathan. Nathan! Nathan! JD's been hurt bad! Hey, Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!

CASEY:

JD!

BUCK:

Nathan, come quick.

NATHAN:

What happened?

CASEY:

JD!

BUCK:

Got him. Go!

CASEY:

JD! JD!

VIN:

He's all right. He's in good hands now.

NATHAN:

Let's get him up this way. Come on.

CASEY:

What have I done? I wished him harm.

VIN:

Now, don't start talkin' like that.

CHRIS:

That's far enough, ladies.

KATE:

Get out of our way.

CHRIS:

Now I never shot a woman before, but I'd love for you to give me a reason.

JOSIAH:

Now, that'd be really bad luck.

MATTIE:

Kate?

KATE:

It's gonna be all right.

CHRIS:

I don't think so.

CHRIS:

You better start talking about your involvement with Del Spivak.

[cell door clangs shut]

KATE:

I got nothin' to say to you.

JOSIAH:

You better think about something, 'Cause that money we found on you came off a robbery where people were killed.

MATTIE:

Hey, the money was mine. It had nothing to do--

KATE:

Mattie!

CHRIS:

Oh, it was your money, huh? It must mean that must mean you were involved in that stagecoach robbery. Ah, you're not tough enough. What do you think, Josiah, you think she's tough enough to be involved in something like that?

JOSIAH:

Not from this side of the bars.

MATTIE:

You want to know how tough I am?

KATE:

Leave her alone!

CHRIS:

I'll leave her alone. Of course I'll be the one that's got to cut her down after they hang her.

KATE:

Hang?

MATTIE:

Well, what-- Kate, what does he mean, hang? Nobody ever said anything about hanging. Kate, I can't hang.

KATE:

You listen to me. You listen to me.

MATTIE:

Nobody said anything about hanging.

KATE:

I will think of something. I always do. Hey, look at me. Shh shh shh. No, Mattie, stop it, I'm right here. I'm gonna think of something. I'm gonna get you out of here. Look at me, ok? Look at me.

[rooster crows]

NATHAN:

Well I got the bullet out. Uh...but he lost a lot of blood. I--I just don't know.

BUCK:

I should have known... about those two. Well, now I do know, and I'm gonna do something about it.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Wait, wait, wait. A court will have to weigh the evidence and decide, not you.

BUCK:

Tell me something, does a rope know the difference between a woman's neck and a man's neck? Will you?

EZRA:

Well, I take it there's no good news.

NATHAN:

We need to figure out what those 2 girls are up to. I've got an idea.

KIRKLAND:

That's the lawyer you told me about?

EZRA:

Ezra P. Standish, attorney at law. At your service.

KIRKLAND:

What's the "p" stand for?

EZRA:

Persuasive. Now, the way I see it, you rode into town brandishing a gun, which constitutes a mere misdemeanor for unlawful use of firearms. However, you were gunned down, dragged from your sickbed, and unjustly imprisoned. Now... cruel and unusual punishment, I'd say.

KIRKLAND:

Well, you sound right good.

EZRA:

Thank you. But first, we need to get past your unfortunate association with one Mr. Spivak.

KIRKLAND:

How we gonna do that?

EZRA:

Well, it seems to me we need to offer the judge something in the way of an exchange for leniency.

NATHAN:

The judge is awful anxious to know about those 2 ladies in there.

KIRKLAND:

How do I know you can fix it with the judge if I talk?

NATHAN:

If you don't, you will hang.

EZRA:

If you don't mind, Mr. Jackson. Now, regarding Katherine Stokes, was she a member of the gang?

KIRKLAND:

Kate? She was just Del's girl. She's mean, but she ain't no killer. All she ever done was try to keep that loony sister of hers out of trouble.

NATHAN:

So Kate didn't shoot nobody?

KIRKLAND:

She'd have shot Del a long time ago if she could have. He used to beat her somethin' awful. But Mattie, ha ha, you should have seen her at the stagecoach robbery. Still gives me chills. She shot this one passenger 'cause he couldn't get his wedding ring off fast enough.

EZRA:

I'm sorry, but even I find it hard to believe that a sweet little thing like that could be so cold-blooded. Now, if you're going to waste my time--

KIRKLAND:

Well, I can prove it. That wedding ring? She wears it around her neck like some kind of prize. I swear.

EZRA:

Well, we'll just have to look into it, then. Good day.

KIRKLAND:

Well, you think the judge will go easy on me?

EZRA:

Oh, that, yes. Well, did you perchance, uh, kill more than one person?

KIRKLAND:

Well...yeah.

EZRA:

Well, then you are in luck. He can only hang you once.

KIRKLAND:

Wait a minute, Ezra!

JUDGE TRAVIS:

I was there the day Marcus McNeil exchanged this ring with Christina. He said it was the happiest day of his life. Marcus was a doctor. He helped people. He saved lives. JD Dunne... he helped a lot of people in this town. Now he's fightin' for his young life. The court has reached a verdict. Ready to pronounce sentence. Miss Katherine Stokes. There's no clear evidence of criminal behavior on your part. Your efforts to save your sister were misguided, but understandable. You're a smart young woman. Hopefully, smart enough to make something of your life... given a second chance. I'm going to give it to you. You're free to go.

MATTIE:

That's good, right?

JUDGE TRAVIS:

And Madeline Stokes... you've been found guilty of murder, cold-blooded. Far as I can tell, you have nothing to give this world in return for what you've taken from it. I've never had to say this to a woman. But I sentence you to hang by the neck until dead tomorrow at dawn.

MATTIE:

What? No, no, I can't. Who--who the hell do you think you are? I will kill you! I will kill you! You hear me? I will kill you! I will kill you! I swear to god, I'll kill you! You bastard, I will kill you! Let go of me! Let go! You bastard... I will kill you! Aah! I'll kill him. I swear it!

KATE:

When Mattie was 7, Ma hanged herself in the barn. Mattie's the one who found her.

BUCK:

That an excuse for murder?

KATE:

Pa used to get drunk and beat us like we were animals.

BUCK:

What do you want from me?

KATE:

You talk to that judge. You ask him to let her spend all her years in prison. Anything but hangin'.

BUCK:

Should've thought of that 'fore she started riding with Del Spivak.

KATE:

That was my fault. I didn't know he was bad when I first met him. I just knew he weren't pa. Found out later he was worse.

BUCK:

You could've left him.

KATE:

He'd've killed me first.

BUCK:

Kate... I have spent my whole life... thinking that women were... everything good that warms the soul. And that got my friend shot.

KATE:

We're human, Buck.

BUCK:

Guess JD is, too, 'cause that bullet his gut proved that, didn't it?

CHRIS:

He's a strong kid. He'll make it.

JUDGE TRAVIS:

Well, I don't know what to think.

KATE:

I want to make a deal for Mattie's life.

CHRIS:

You ain't got nothing to offer.

KATE:

How about Del Spivak?

[whistle][whistle][whistle]

[bird coos]

DEL:

Miss me?

KATE:

Oh, I knew you'd be watching the town.

DEL:

You know me too well. It's become a liability.

KATE:

I also know where your money is. I'll help you get it back if you help me free Mattie.

DEL:

That's my girl.

[door squeaks]

JOSIAH:

I know you don't want me around, so I'll just leave this here with you. Peace, I leave with you. My peace I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

[squeak][cell door closes]

MATTIE:

Am I going to hell?

JOSIAH:

Well, now, some people think that hell is just a state of mind.

MATTIE:

But hell's for people who've sinned.

JOSIAH:

Well, there's always redemption for a sinner.

MATTIE:

[sighs] I'm scared, preacher.

JOSIAH:

That man on the stagecoach that you killed... and JD... you think they were scared?

MATTIE:

[sniffles] I never thought about it.

JOSIAH:

Well, think about it. Maybe that will be your path to redemption.

MATTIE:

Will you say a prayer with me?

JOSIAH:

You got one in mind?

MATTIE:

I like the one about the Lord being a shepherd.

JOSIAH:

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

BUCK:

JD I'm so sorry.

JOSIAH:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul.

BUCK:

I'm so sorry, little brother.

JOSIAH:

He guideth me on the paths of virtue for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I shall fear no evil.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head with oil.

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...

DEL:

Hyah!

JOSIAH:

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord... forever.

JD

JD:

I thought... I thought I was gonna die before I had a chance to say that.. I'm sorry. And--and... and how much I care about you.

CASEY:

Shh shh shh.

JD:

[sighs]

MAN:

Get out of here, you old drunk.

DRUNK:

I'm sorry.

MAN:

Wait here. Keep your eyes open.

KATE:

Mattie, get up. Hey! Where are the keys?

MATTIE:

I think I saw them put them in the middle drawer. Is Del coming?

KATE:

Yeah, he's coming.

MAN:

Wait outside, boys.

MAN 2:

She said it's over here.

MAN:

Here we go.

MATTIE:

So, they ain't gonna hang me, right?

KATE:

No, they're not gonna hang you. But I'm not gonna wait to find out.

MAN:

It's empty.

[cocks gun]

EZRA:

Lose something, boys?

NATHAN:

I got a hair trigger.

CHRIS:

You're surrounded, boys. Drop it! Get 'em up!

DEL:

Nice little welcoming party you arranged.

[click]

DEL:

It's too bad you couldn't do that when you had a loaded gun. You wanted her free, Kate?

MATTIE:

Oh!

DEL:

She's free now.

KATE:

Aah!

MATTIE:

Are you still gonna hate me?

KATE:

No.

MATTIE:

You're good luck after all, preacher.

JOSIAH:

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.

MATTIE:

[crying]

JOSIAH:

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord... forever.

JD:

Oh, the fresh air does feel good, but I feel like an old lady.

BUCK:

You look like one, too.

JD:

Oh, Buck.

CASEY:

You look just fine, JD.

BUCK:

Love is blind.

JD:

You know, I'm feelin' kind of tired all of a sudden. Would you mind taking me back?

BUCK:

Y'all gonna be all right for yourself?

CASEY:

Yeah, I'll push him.

KATE:

Figure I owe you thanks for not telling the judge I was trying to break her out.

BUCK:

Yeah, well, think he knew anyway. He probably figured you'd already paid enough for it. So...where to now?

KATE:

Pa left us a farm. More like a shack in a weed patch. Guess it's mine alone now.

BUCK:

Kate... you fought hard for your sister. You can do the same for yourself.

KATE:

Boy, I was wrong about you. You're not like the others.

BUCK:

Yep. Been told I'm one-of-a-kind.

KATE:

Sure hope not.
