00:00What do you make of that scissor bell outfit?
00:05Sure travelin'.
00:06Well, where they come from, they sure breed them for big bone.
00:10Even the sorry shark couldn't miss one of them things.
00:13And that in the lead looks like a turkey buzzard about to take off.
00:17You're getting your first look at that preacher hawker we've been hearing about.
00:22Packs a Bible in one pocket, six shooter in the other, just to balance the load.
00:27You reckon preacher Jay Hawker aims to run us off, Colonel?
00:30Maybe so.
00:31Well, what if we was to stop them for Jasper's in the tracks right now?
00:36Lee, we had a belly full of gunfightin'.
00:38Hey, let me talk to him when I get here, son.
00:45Yes, sir, Colonel.
00:52I'm preacher Hawker.
00:54This country's my range.
00:56The whole tit and caboodle of it, just as far as the eye can see.
01:01Now what's the meaning of this invasion, mister?
01:04I'm Sam Bobby from Texas.
01:06This here's my son, Lee.
01:08Well, don't you pull none of your Texican tricks on us hawkers.
01:11We outnumber you two to four.
01:13Not Texicans, preacher, Texans.
01:17Didn't you ever hear the Alamo?
01:18I just don't know what you mean about a Texan being outnumbered.
01:23We'll keep our cattle in the lower sag, you keep yours in the upper sag, that goes as
01:28she lays.
01:29Now, if you want an argument, we might as well have it right now, that's further on
01:35up the creek.
01:36You're pointing your gun at a man of the cloth.
01:39Behold ye a holy man, a voice crying in the wilderness.
01:44You find enemy, smite thee, turn the other cheek.
01:47Them's words from the holy scripture.
01:52If that big chaw in your mouth were to slip down your gullet, you'd choke down and die.
01:56Now you take them three whelps and git, and don't you come back after dark, or one of
02:02my cow punchers might pin a lightning bug on the end of a corn cob and run you hawkers
02:08plumb out of the country.
02:10Now git.
