00:30Oh, yeah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
01:00ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:22Tate, I was waiting. I have been looking for you.
01:26The bridge is out of copper springs.
01:28Couldn't make it across.
01:30I had to go around.
01:34You want to get somebody else?
01:36No, no.
01:37Here's 100.
01:39The rest and everything later, yeah?
01:42You'll have to tell me who, why.
01:45I have reason.
01:47Believe me, there is good reason.
01:48There always is.
01:50I'll stay with my horse.
01:51Where will you be?
01:52This is my store.
01:53I'll be by the saloon, just on the other side.
01:56But the stable is back where you wrote in.
01:58So, quick as you can, yeah?
02:26The Bridge
02:42No.
02:49Is he dead?
02:52Tell me, is he?
02:54Well, there seems to me to be an easy way to find out.
02:57Doggone, they gave him my lucky table.
03:00Now, a man won't drink whiskey, he's dead.
03:03Don't do that.
03:05The Bridge
03:23I'm grateful you showed me.
03:29And next time...
03:32Even you got just one wing.
03:36And next time...
03:39I ain't gonna feel sorry!
03:48Well, now.
03:51You're pretty quick.
03:53Friend of the deceased?
03:55He's not dead yet.
03:57It's a matter of time.
03:59Two to one, they don't last till sun up.
04:01For how much?
04:02I got a $20 gold piece.
04:03Here's $20 and $10 for anybody who wants it.
04:06I got five more.
04:07I'll take the rest.
04:08Another $10 he don't.
04:11Stop it!
04:13A man laying here, dying, and you...
04:18Do your business at the bar.
04:20That's the least.
04:23I didn't mean no harm, Miss Della.
04:26Householder bets?
04:27I suppose.
04:28The house.
04:29That's me.
04:30I'm Clay Sutton.
04:43I have to get him across the street to my office.
04:46I'll need some help.
04:48I said I'd need some help!
04:51I don't believe I caught your name.
04:54Tate.
05:20Chance.
05:21Small.
05:25Can't touch that slug.
05:28Who did it, Doc?
05:31I don't dare to probe.
05:33Too close to the heart.
05:38How do I know who done it?
05:41One bullet makes same hole as another.
05:51Medicine.
05:52Sit down, if you want to.
05:56Medicine.
05:58You take a TTD.
06:00That's doctor talk for three times a day.
06:03What?
06:05Sewing up a man who's been horned by a steer.
06:08You know he'll be dead in two days.
06:11Watching a child choking to death with diphtheria,
06:14knowing there's nothing you can do about it.
06:16From him in there.
06:17From him in there.
06:19All the rotten, stinking things.
06:21Who did it, Doc?
06:22I told you, don't ask me.
06:24I don't know.
06:31Where you going?
06:34I need some answers.
06:36Hi.
06:37Hi.
06:46Whiskey.
07:06Bar closed.
07:09A man as fast as that with a gun?
07:11I want to keep him sober.
07:14Who'd you come to kill?
07:18You're working for Otto.
07:24Gunfighter.
07:26He won't live to pay you.
07:29House bet's 500. He's dead by sunup.
07:36I'll take some more of that.
08:06It's, uh, it's kind of late for supper.
08:10Eat when you can.
08:11You learn that in the army.
08:13What's good?
08:14Well, it depends upon what army you was with.
08:17I got side meat and black-eyed peas.
08:21That's the army.
08:25This coffee will hold your belly down.
08:28You got law in this town?
08:32I don't know.
08:33I'll, uh, I'll fix your food.
09:04Clay Seddon had him shot on account of me.
09:09I've been building up a year now.
09:12Ever since Otto opened up his store.
09:16It was only natural we got to talk.
09:18Him, him being close by all the time.
09:20Right next door like that.
09:24But what him did most of the talking anyway.
09:26Mostly.
09:28Full of ideas and notions, all shapes and sizes.
09:32He, he even got some notions about me.
09:37Asked me.
09:39Asked me to marry him.
09:41Now go ahead and laugh.
09:43No need to laugh.
09:45Said no about it?
09:49Yes.
09:52He gave Otto a month to sell and get out.
09:56Month was up tomorrow.
09:57I begged him, I begged him but he wouldn't go without me.
10:00You didn't want to go?
10:05I couldn't.
10:10You like your job that much?
10:15I belong to Clay Seddon.
10:21Now he saw you ride into town and took you away.
10:24Now he saw you ride into town and talk to Otto.
10:28He knows you're hired to him.
10:33Now take care.
10:54Sam?
10:56I...
10:58I ain't got nothing, Hoby.
11:01You feed the wrong people.
11:03You got to learn, Sam.
11:05Go ahead, boy.
11:06Oh, no.
11:07No, no.
11:08Oh, please.
11:09Please.
11:11Please.
11:13Please.
11:15Please.
11:17Please.
11:19Please.
11:21Please.
11:24Please.
11:36You learn something, Sam?
11:37Yes, yes.
11:49You got law in this town?
11:51There's a law.
11:52Seddon carries it in his hip pocket.
11:59They were hitting at me.
12:04It's cheaper than dying at that.
12:35One way.
12:37That's right.
12:40You just turn slow and easy.
12:43Don't spook me, I'll shoot you right down.
12:47Cowboy.
12:49Sure made me out to fool in front of all them folks, didn't you?
12:53Show yourself.
12:56No, sir.
12:57No, sir.
12:58I got you fixed just right.
13:00And I ain't gonna do it till I'm purely ready.
13:04Just like I did that old storekeeper fella.
13:07That's whiskey talking.
13:09Right out of Seddon's bottle.
13:12I've been drinking, but I ain't drunk.
13:16You're a gunfighter, ain't you?
13:19You come in town, kill somebody, didn't you?
13:22Not you.
13:24No, nobody.
13:25Because you're gonna be dead.
13:27Now I'm gonna count to three.
13:30I wanna see some sweat.
13:32I wanna see some sweat all over you.
13:35One.
13:37Two.
13:49Three.
14:10You killed him?
14:13Clay Seddon killed him.
14:15He'll do the same for you, mister.
14:19Shh.
14:34No change.
14:37That good?
14:39Yeah, I'd say.
14:41You know, it's a funny thing about that fella in there.
14:44Come 5,000 miles, dreaming to find something new.
14:50And I'm glad I can say no change.
14:55You ever stop to think about life?
14:57Whenever I see a man die.
14:59I was thinking about you and me.
15:01Kind of like a woman buying yard goods over the counter.
15:05She's buying, the storekeeper's selling, but they're...
15:08They're both dealing in the self-same goods.
15:11Kind of like you and me.
15:12Kind of like you and me.
15:14We're both trading in human life.
15:17But on different sides of the counter.
15:21Come in.
15:26Evening.
15:30This is Bert Bowers. He's the carpenter here.
15:33I also do what undertaking there is.
15:36Kind of goes with making the boxes.
15:37Doc, I just figured I'd stop by and see, did you want me to measure him?
15:41It'd take some time to knock them boxes together.
15:44He just might not need it.
15:46Just wouldn't want to get caught without.
15:53Six feet two.
15:55I didn't mean no harm.
15:57I was just wondering.
15:59I heard you.
16:01Yes, sir.
16:03Well, I'll be moving along.
16:05It's getting kind of late.
16:07I'd just be moving along.
16:09Night.
16:16Wouldn't take you but a minute to saddle up.
16:19If you get a craving for one of them wooden kimonos...
16:24I took half my pay.
16:26I wouldn't feel right running out.
16:30It's almost midnight.
16:32You've got about five hours, maybe.
16:34Seddon won't wait for us, son-of.
16:36You sure?
16:38Five hundred dollars, sure.
16:41He won't wait.
16:55What?
16:57He's still alive.
16:59What about the gunfighter?
17:01He's still over at Doc's office.
17:03You remember what I told you?
17:06Sure thing. You betcha, Clay.
17:33Thought I saw something in the alley.
17:36Keep looking into that dark long enough.
17:39You could be riding now.
17:43You could be Doctor in Abilene, Kansas City.
17:46Could, but I ain't.
17:48It's luck.
17:52Andrew.
17:59Oh, really.
18:03Yeah.
18:12Clay Seddon won't come by himself.
18:17He'll bring two or three.
18:19Three.
18:21I saw them tonight.
18:23I'm no good with a gun.
18:25You'll have to go it alone.
18:27I'm used to it.
18:33Come on.
18:46I come by the alley.
18:48I was scared Clay tried to stop me.
18:51Seddon finds you here, you can't go back.
18:55I know.
18:58Mr. Tate.
18:59Mr. Tate.
19:01They're coming for you.
19:04I know.
19:20Tom.
19:22Jacks over aces.
19:24Draw.
19:29Come on.
19:38Don't hardly seem natural in being so quiet.
19:43You always had a lot of words.
19:45I guess I always had a softness for German folks.
19:49Got lots of them back home.
19:51Back east?
19:53St. Louis.
19:55I know a lot of them there.
19:57My pa used to handiwork for the Schoenbruns.
20:02They had a big house on a hill.
20:06I remember I was five, maybe six.
20:12One Christmas my pa took me up there with him.
20:16I remember Mrs. Schoenbrun, she was real big and fat.
20:21She kept stuffing me with cookies and cake.
20:27Like I'd never tasted before.
20:33I was sick for two days.
20:40I don't, I don't cook fancy.
20:43Do you think he'll mind?
20:45I don't think he'll mind.
20:51Well, that's it.
21:01Come on.
21:14Tate?
21:16Place that in, Tate, can you hear me?
21:18Tate!
21:20Come on out.
21:32Hey, gunfighter, you overlooked something.
21:35We got law in this town.
21:37Ain't you or nobody else gonna ride in and kill a man without no cause.
21:43He went out by the alley.
21:45Tate, you got a show.
21:48The sooner you come out, the sooner we settle and get some sleep.
21:52You hear me, gunfighter?
21:55We got something for you.
22:09Send him out, Doc.
22:11We got some medicine here that's gonna finish him off almost as quick as yours.
22:15Tate, don't rile me.
22:18We're four to one.
22:20To two.
22:21To two.
22:41Clay Seddon, you take yourself out of here.
22:45You and those men with you.
22:47I got a patient out back close to dying.
22:51Well, you're gonna have to.
22:53Now, you put that gun aside, Doc, and step out.
22:58Don't push me, Doc.
23:01You're gonna make me have to kill you.
23:04Move out!
23:22But Bowers couldn't be as busy as a bumblebee in a bucket of tar.
23:27You, too.
23:40It's hard to tell who wins.
23:43I don't know.
23:45I don't know.
23:47I don't know.
23:49It's hard to tell who is the doctor.
23:53Him.
23:55He's the one handing out the medicine.
24:02Makes the amaryllis 20 miles closer.
24:05Thanks, Doc.
24:07You take care.
24:12Mr. Tate?
24:15I never rightly said thanks.
24:18Clay, you take care of your patient.
24:21You?
24:23Both of them.
24:25I'm gonna need them both.
24:28I'll end a cooker.
24:30I'm gonna have a family.
24:36Bye.
