A Genius, Two Friends, and an Idiot Page #6

---

a prettier army officer's daughter.

Thank you.

But please... don't hurt my father.

Then I'll take you as a hostage.

Come on, Major.

I think you're a little confused.

I'm only a major.

He's a... He's a colonel.

We got a long trip. Move!

So long, Colonel. Miss.

Hurry up!

Save the major! Get moving!

Hurry up! Everybody this way!

Come on!

And if you can't save Major Cabot,

at least save the money!

What am I supposed to do now,

Colonel?

- Stay put and guard the pass.

- Yes, sir, Colonel.

Now you realize

who the real genius turns out to be.

Surprised?

Your partner double-crossed you.

He and I planned this together.

Here's Jelly Roll and his boys

to settle accounts.

Where's the money?

It's quite safe.

On the stagecoach.

Safe? With Steam Engine?

Don't shoot! It's Major Cabot!

He's gaining!

I found his driver's gun.

- I don't see him any longer.

- We made it!

- Are you hurt?

- No. He hit the shaft.

Give me the chest. The chest!

- What are you gonna do?

- Get off this merry-go-round.

And put the money where it's safe.

See you

in St. Louis, Missouri, honey.

Joe!

Faster, damn you!

Hey! You got just what I want.

Now.

- Where's she going? Stop her.

- Hold her.

Oh, please! Please, mister.

- Now!

- Let me go. Let me go, I tell you!

Blast!

Don't. There's gonna be an explosion.

Stop it!

Stop!

There's two men down there!

$300,000

gone up in smoke!

Come on, you dope.

Joe! Bill!

- Bill, are you okay?

- No.

- What's the matter? You hurt?

- Yes.

- Where?

- Here.

I wanna know something right now.

- What the hell's going on?

- It's working out like we planned.

Hey!

Is this the head pay office?

Sure. This is it.

Get in line, boys.

- Come on, boys.

- There's something for everybody.

- Come on.

- Hey, mister.

Thanks for giving us the job

of blasting that rock.

- I hope it suited you.

- You did a good job.

- Almost smothered us to death though.

- Beautiful piece of work, Joe.

Don't thank me.

The credit goes to my partner.

Thanks, boys.

- That's it. Thanks.

- Thank you.

There you are, Jelly Roll.

So I've been crossed

but not double-crossed.

That's about it.

There are times in life

when you think money's

the most important thing there is.

But once you get it

maybe you wish you hadn't.

- Where are you going with the money?

- Hush, now.

Remember?

A ray of the dying sun

touches the mountains.

They seem bathed in blood.

The peaks throw long shadows

down to the bottomless valley.

In the blue sky a hawk glides,

wide and easy.

- Wings cleaving the air?

- Yeah.

Not that horse again.

Here's the money, Grandpa.

Why are they dressed like this?

Isn't that the way you wanted it?

- Goodbye, Joe.

- Why? Where are we going?

Now you know why I'm going with him.

Gonna screw America.

Bringing Grandpa too?

He stays. He represents the past.

The son of a b*tch

had it all figured out.
