Alias Jesse James Page #5

I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.

If you stay around here,

you haven't got a chance.

Will you go?

I don't know,

but I'd sure like to say goodbye again.

You're a little late, Jesse.

Milford already took care of Snake.

Where's Milford now?

You see, I told you.

Somebody shot at you.

Let's have a little more

respect for heroes out there.

I reckon I better go down

and teach him a lesson.

No, wait.

Please, don't start anything, Milford.

As long as I don't come unstrung,

I'm still in business.

Sorry, Milford.

Thought I saw a man in here.

Maybe it's because I'm wearing your clothes.

Yeah, would you mind telling

me what this is all about?

Well, I want to talk to you

about that insurance policy,

but you won't let me.

He was only trying to protect you, Jesse.

Yeah, if anything happens to you, I'm dead.

Well, let's not have any more of this.

And I don't like anybody

doing my shooting for me.

Or anything.

What's that?

Well, I shaved this morning,

and I'm a slow bleeder.

Better get out of here

before I become a faster one.

Got something for you, Jesse.

This just come for Farnsworth

from that insurance company in New York.

"Milford Farnsworth, Angel's Rest, Missouri."

"You are fired.

Repeat, fired."

"You are the Benedict Arnold

of the insurance business."

"Am coming west with another $33,000"

"to buy back policy.

Arriving 10:
00 tonight."

"Kindly do not meet me.

Titus Quesely."

We ain't gonna meet him.

We're just gonna shake hands

with his money. Thanks, Elmo.

Wait a minute,

what's all this about

my being your beneficiary?

Didn't I tell you?

Well, one day soon,

you and me are gonna collect $100,000.

Then we can settle down.

To collect $100,000, you've gotta be dead.

I won't be dead.

It'll be some fellow who just looks like me.

Milford.

Yeah, Jess?

You wear that outfit.

Looks great on you.

Can I keep it?

As long as you live.

And don't tire yourself out down there.

We got a little business deal tonight.

Say, Jesse,

I wonder what's holding up that train?

In case you forgot, we are.

Hey, nobody's gonna get hurt, are they?

Not necessarily.

Whatever you do, don't get shot.

My company would never forgive me.

I don't plan to.

Hey, here she comes now.

Hey, Jesse,

I've been thinking this over

and I'm gonna sit this one out.

I just don't like it.

Let's go.

Yeah.

All right, let's go.

Come on.

Aw, it might be fun after all.

You know what to do?

I ought to. I've

been robbed myself.

Well, now's your chance to get even.

I'm pretty fast on the trigger, too.

And there's the trigger, right there.

Just remember.

These people try to hide

their jewels and money.

We have to search everybody.

Check. You take the men

and I'll take the women.

Come on.

Reach.

We'll cover you.

Get busy.

All right, get your valuables out.

Don't any of you varmints reach for a weapon

or I'll let daylight through you.

Put it in the poke.

There you are.

Okay, all of it.

All right, shorty, get it up.

Come on, let's have it.

Where did you go?

Toss it down, redwood.

You got snow up there?

All right, get 'em up. Up.

What a bank.

Drop that turnip

in here. Watch it.

Okay, let's have it.

Okay, come on.

Young man, I hope you realize

what you're doing's against the law.

Hide it. Hide it,

we're over our quota.

What are you trying to do?

Sorry, we don't take confederate money.

Here, let me see that.

All right...

Nothing wrong with that stuff.

What are you trying to do,

go in business for yourself?

What's wrong with that?

Nothing. I just wanted to see

if you're on your toes.

Boys, let's get out of here. Yeah.

You, guard the rear.

Guard the rear?

But, Jesse, Jesse, wait for me.

Jesse, wait for me.

Jesse, Jesse, where are you?

Come on. What are we waiting for?

Let's get out of here.

One little chore we ain't attended to yet.

There you are.

Let's get outta here.

Jesse!

Okay, Jesse, I covered the rear.

You ride on ahead.

We'll take over.

Well, that's that.

Get in touch with the insurance people

and tell them that Jesse James is dead.

I needed that.

You look like you had

a hard day at the office.

We're going to the ranch tonight.

Start packing your things.

What for?

What is all this?

We had an accident at the train tonight.

I got killed.

He's dead.

The tombstone on Boot Hill

will have my name on it.

As soon as the insurance company

pays off that $100,000,

we'll have enough for the rest of our lives.

We're getting married tomorrow.

Now, let's take this a little slower, Jesse.

Now start packing.

You the telegraph operator?

That's right.

Never figured she'd make it on time

after getting held up tonight.

How did you know the train was held up?

That train always gets held up.

Here.

I want this message delivered promptly

to the telegraph operator at the first stop.

We'll get ourselves a fine spread somewhere.

A long ways from here, 1,000 miles.

Maybe California.

You and Frank can have this place.

Gonna be all right, Ma,

working out real great.

What if they come around here,

looking for him?

Looking for who?

Milford.

Just tell 'em he went back east.

Sounds reasonable.

Milford was a nice boy.

Yeah.

Too bad he didn't have

some of his own insurance.

So they'll be looking for him.

Leastways they won't be

looking for me no more.

There won't be any more

sheriffs riding up to my door.

It's Milford.

Boy.

Girl.

Happy yogurt.

Good. You made it.

I was worried about you, Jesse.

I would've gone back and looked for you,

but my horse got away from me.

Boy, I thought sure they got you.

Good boy.

Boy.

It's sure good to be home.

What a night.

What's the matter with you two?

You look as though you've seen a ghost.

Why, we heard you got killed

in the train holdup, Milford.

What happened? I can't

understand how we could've...

I mean, I thought you stopped

a lot of lead out there.

I did. I gained twelve

pounds in seven seconds.

But I was okay.

Boy, it's a good thing

Jesse went to that museum.

I was wearing my heavies.

Pretty good, Ma?

Yes.

Yes, indeed.

You were very lucky, Milford.

Lucky? I could've been

Swiss cheese.

Those bullets were playing Goodbye Forever

up and down my spine.

But I've had it.

I'm gonna find Mr. Quesely

first thing in the morning

and give myself up.

It won't be bad.

You know, about 10 years.

Give yourself up?

What for?

I robbed a train tonight.

Well, so what?

I was there, too.

Yeah, but that's different with you.

That's your business. Yeah.

Well, I'll see you in the

morning before I leave, Ma.

Good night, Ma.

Good night, Jesse.

Good night, Milford.

Boy, I'm glad you're okay.

That's the main thing.

Good night.

How about that?

Now, now, Son.

Things went a little wrong tonight.

Don't let that bother you.

Remember what I always taught you, Son.

What you can't do today you can do tomorrow.

Good morning.

Going someplace?

Yes, it's back to the big town for me.
