3:10 to Yuma Page #2

- It'll be easy.

Three big men on three white horses.

Three white fellas

on three big horses, huh?

- Ever sing anymore?

- Who's there to sing for?

You know, you look kind of skinny.

I feel skinny.

I don't mind a skinny girl.

Just so she has blue eyes

to make up for it.

You got blue eyes?

Brown.

It's all right.

They don't have to be blue.

Must be they buried their man here.

If I had my way,

there'd be more than one.

Hello, you the marshal?

You see the Butterfield coach?

- This is Mr. Butterfield.

- They got a gold shipment.

- See where they went?

- Bisbee.

We just come from Bisbee.

Didn't you see an outfit? Must have

been 12, all on dark horses.

You didn't see them?

Yeah, we seen them.

Then they left.

Cy, you'd better go along,

hitch up the coach down there.

- We think it was Ben Wade.

- What do you know?

There I was, face

to face with Ben Wade.

Hi, marshal.

Did you catch them yet?

- Them were the fellas back in Bisbee.

- Yeah?

One of them is still there.

He went into the saloon.

You been drinking

this morning or not?

I never touch a drop until noon.

- There's a man there. Let's catch him.

- What if it's Ben Wade?

- What good is catching him?

- We'll arrest him.

Till his outfit comes back

and shoots up the town?

- No one's held him yet.

- We'll get him out of town.

We won't catch him standing here.

Let's go.

- Are you coming, Dan?

- Yeah, I'm coming.

What will happen is somebody

will get hurt bad.

- Think you'll ever get back to Bisbee?

- Don't look like it.

- That's what I figured.

- I never stay long anyplace.

Do you care?

Sure, I care.

What can I do? You're on the go,

and I'm stuck.

I ain't complaining.

I got something to remember.

Me too.

Funny, some men you can see

every day for 10 years...

...and you never notice.

Some men you see once and they're

with you the rest of your life.

- What happened?

- Finishing my drink.

There's a fella coming down the road.

Hello, Mr. Evans.

You want something, Mr. Evans?

- Something I can do to help you?

- You drove off my cattle.

- You got them back.

- Yes, it took me a half day.

What's half a day worth?

When I hire out a full day,

I get two dollars.

- Here's two dollars for half a day.

- Then that's what I'll settle for.

- There's two more for you.

- What for?

For your boys. I used their time too.

If you don't mind, you owe me two more

for tiring out my cattle.

Two more for tired cattle.

Is there anything else

you wanna get paid for?

You can give me two dollars extra

for making me nervous.

Don't move.

It's the marshal.

He's got a shotgun on you, Wade.

Put your hands up.

Ben?

- Watch him.

- I'll watch him.

Now what good is all that?

He'll come back with the others...

...and I'll go free.

And you'll get shot.

We'll get you out of town

so fast you won't touch ground.

Over here.

Sit down, there.

Here, take this.

I helped out this far. I'm finished.

- You're what?

- Finished. I come here on business.

- I got to take care of my cattle.

- You're our best shot.

- That's not my job. I'm no deputy.

- You are now. Every man is a deputy.

I was coming to see Mac.

I don't mind helping, but that's all.

I can't spare time.

I'll lose everything.

That won't make any difference.

Mac, you watch him.

- Can I talk to you a minute, Mac?

- What's it about, Dan?

Well, it's a business thing, you know.

Sit down.

Thanks.

The faster we get him out, the safer.

That's right.

We'll outsmart them every step.

We only got two,

three hours head start.

They'll think we'll

turn him in at Fort Huachuca.

Sure, they will.

- Or they'll think we'll go to Benson.

- That's a fact.

Or they'll think we'll take

him over to Contention...

...put him on the 3:10 to Yuma.

- Sure, they're bound to.

Alex, will you let me finish?

Then you can agree.

Sure.

When the coach comes,

we'll put him on it and start.

- Start where?

- That's where we fool them.

Look...

...here's Benson.

Here's Contention.

And here's Fort Huachuca.

It'd only be for six months.

It'll rain by then.

Rain? Sure, everybody would prosper.

- I only need 200.

- Lf you were my own brother...

...I still couldn't help you.

I guess I'd better

be getting back home.

- How's the missus?

- She's fine, thanks.

- Good. How're the boys?

- Fine. They're fine.

I need two volunteers.

Do I have two volunteers?

- For what?

- I'm not telling you for what.

Two will go with Dave Keene.

We'll follow with the prisoner.

- Who'll volunteer?

- We gotta know what to expect.

- Sure, might not be safe.

- Safe. Who knows what's safe?

A man died from looking at his wife.

My grandma fought the Indians for

60 years, then choked to death on pie.

- Do I have two volunteers?

- I'll pay $200 to each man.

- I'll volunteer.

- You said you couldn't...

- Do you want me or don't you?

- Sure, we do. Here, take this shotgun.

- Now, do I have another?

- I'll go.

Wait a minute, Alex. No offense...

...I just think it'd be safer

if we had somebody else.

Come on, give me a chance.

Anybody else?

Dave, you have your two men:

Alex Potter and Dan Evans.

- Where are we going?

- Here's the plan.

We're gonna transfer him

at your house.

- My house?

- It'll only take a minute.

- Everybody, out. We need the coach.

- You'll have to stay here tonight.

- Get another team, a four-up.

- Get Bill Moons out.

There's a coach to Contention tonight,

I'll send him over in that.

Lively, now.

Lively, everybody.

Get up!

Come on.

You mean to say I have this

all to myself?

Well, that's very thoughtful of you.

Bye, Emmy.

Goodbye.

Tell you what,

I'll send you something.

Would you like pearls?

I'll send you some.

- Then maybe you won't forget.

- I won't forget.

I seen 'em.

You know what to do.

We're coming to it.

I'll try.

- All right, let's get him down.

- All right.

- Hello, can you give us a hand?

- Get ready, come on.

Heave!

All right, get out!

Heave!

It worked. Those two will round up

the rest and chase the coach.

There.

Supper's ready.

Take this out to Mr. Potter.

You're welcome to share what we have.

- Here's your stew, Mr. Potter.

- Thanks, Matthew.

- Know where your pa keeps a drink?

- No, I don't.

- Don't you know where he keeps a jug?

- No.

- You don't mind my asking, do you?

- No, Pa said you would.

We always wait for Mother to start.

And we don't teach others manners.

You didn't say grace.

She always says grace.

- She comes from San Francisco.

- Mark.

Her father was a sea captain.

He owned a ship. Two ships.

Eat your supper.

- Lf he was here, he'd shoot you dead.

- Dead as a skunk.

- That's enough.

- Lf he wants, my pa can shoot you too.

- He can shoot anything.

- He can shoot a cougar a mile away.

Go ahead now and eat your supper.

- It's good stew, ma'am.

- Thank you.

You didn't say grace

because he's bad?

I simply forgot.

- Can't you say grace with bad people?

- Grace is for everybody, dear.

Then why don't you say it?
