...near the blacksmiths shop

Mind if I use the backdoor, Pitt?

- go on, Pitt.

Well, they say cats got nine lives.

He also said he was curious to know

how much whiskey you need

...to build up your nerves to come out.

You are fixing to get your ears pin back?

You need a pair of yours in the street

if you wanna pin somebodys ears back.

Hey, you drink this.

Sure, I dont have to stand near you.

Come on.

I wonder whether that

sharp shooting Martial is at town

Oh, I saw him ride out of town

an hour ago.

Thats good, we dont want him around

to spoil our play.

Yeah! I bet, thats just exactly

how you meant it.

Look out, there is going to be a shooting.

Quirt!

Quirt...

...step away from those women.

Why dont you turn around, Quirt?

Nothing ever works out right.

Had them rise up,

...so I figured out whets the rukkas.

You down them and I hang you....

...sort of...

..Sort of killing three hawks with one stone.

I may have missed you, Quirt,

...its only a matter of time,

What are you going to do with it?

Hang it down on my wall at office

with a new rope.
