Bronco Billy Page #2

I could sure use the extra money...

but your car won' be ready till tomorrow.

Marvelous!

You and your rented limousines.

Why in the hell

did we get married in Idaho?

I thought Sun Valley would be

a good place for a honeymoon.

I just want to get back to New York!

You want her fixed?

Sometimes she makes me so mad,

I could kill her!

Stick 'em up or I'll plug you!

I ought to have the whole bunch of you

strung up for cattle-rustling!

We just wanted to talk to Bronco Billy.

All right, turn around, nice and easy!

You little pards played hooky

from school just to come see me?

Look at his guns!

He really is Bronco Billy!

Put your hands down.

Are you really the fastest gun in the West?

Ain't nobody faster than Bronco Billy.

I don't take kindly

to kids playing hooky from school.

I think every kid in America should go

to school at least up to eighth grade.

But we don't go to school today.

It's Saturday.

I'd been riding late last night.

A man's brain gets kind of fuzzy

when he's been on the range.

I'll tell you what.

Because you're such good hearted,

little cowboys and cowgirls...

and you say your prayers each night...

I'll give you one free ticket each

to the greatest Wild West Show on Earth.

I want you to bring

your folks tonight, huh?

- Thanks!

- You're welcome.

Don't come late. You might not get a seat.

- Billy, where are you heading?

- I'm going into town.

I got to find a woman

who can shoot like Annie Oakley...

ride like Belle Starr,

and who ain't afraid of nothing.

I hope you find one, but be careful.

Are you Bronco Billy?

I sure am, ma'am.

You sure got a neat car.

Woman, what's your name?

Dolores. Dolores Duke.

It's pleasure meeting you, Miss Dolores.

Would you like to go for a little ride,

when you get off work?

Jesus!

I'm certainly glad someone is enjoying

our honeymoon.

You really should've come

to the Wild West Show, darling.

It was wonderfully corny.

You would've gotten a big laugh out of it.

Turn out your light. I want to go to bed.

Yes, dear.

Aren't you...

going to wash that stuff off your face?

I shall wash my face

when I want to wash my face.

Will you take your wet tongue

out of my ear?

- But I'm your husband.

- That doesn't give you license to maul me!

You frigid spinster!

If you had any blood in your veins,

you'd know what to do!

No wonder you've never gotten married.

Are you finished with your little speech?

Honey, I just want to make you happy.

But you frustrate me to no end.

Finished?

Yes.

If you ever lay a hand on me again,

without first asking my permission...

I shall cut you out of my universe!

Starting at the bank!

Yes, dear.

Darling.

May I put my hand on your breast?

No!

Wait here. I'm gonna go cash a $3 check.

All right.

Watch yourself.

- Be back in a minute.

- Right.

Thank you, sir.

Cash a check here?

$3?

Yeah. I'd like it in two singles

and four quarters.

No, wait a second,

make that two quarters and five dimes.

What's it gonna be, fella?

It's a stickup!

Everybody up against the wall.

You, too, Tex!

- Tex?

- Come on, move!

Wow!

Do hurry, I want to take my bath.

I hope your rented limousine's

been repaired.

Oh, my God!

Hello? I've been robbed!

"News Beat 7", Mr. Bronco.

Bronco Billy's the name.

Me and my Wild West Show

are camped off of I-80.

When did you feel it was time

to take action?

It's always time to take action

when there's danger.

I want to invite you pardners to come

and see Bronco Billy's Wild West Show.

Right off of I-80.

Here's Mr. Collarton, manager of the bank.

I want to shake your hand

and I want to thank you...

The first show is at 7:30 and I want you

to come and see Bronco Billy...

the quickest draw, fastest shot,

quickest hombre this side of the Pecos.

Right out off of I-80.

Hello!

How charming!

Attendant!

Attendant! You, there!

Heard you the first time.

Did my husband,

the man in the limousine...

did he say when he'd be back?

No.

Could I use your telephone?

It's right outside

there. It works on dimes.

My husband seems to be playing

a little joke on me. He's taken my purse.

Run off, has he?

Could you lend me a dime?

I just want to dial the operator.

No.

Why not?

'Cause I ain't got a dime.

But you have a telephone!

It works on dimes.

Why don't you take a dime

out of your stupid little cash register...

and let me use it to call the operator?

I'll give it right back to you.

Ain't mine to give.

Nice looking, ain't she?

At my age, that's about

all I can do is look.

She live around here?

Her husband run off

and left her this morning.

The man's got to be a fool to run off

and leave something like that.

Maybe, maybe not.

Sir, you have a good day.

Same to you, young feller.

Good morning, ma'am.

Can I be of service to you?

Yes.

Would you be kind enough

to lend me a dime?

Sure. Come on across the street,

that's where I keep my money, in my truck.

Coming?

My name is Bronco Billy McCoy.

And yours?

Bronco. What an amusing name.

My friends call me Billy.

Come and get it!

Where's the dime you promised me?

- I wanted an orange soda.

- I wanted a strawberry.

Boys, this is...

Antoinette Lily.

Miss Antoinette Lily.

You're the prettiest assistant

the boss ever hired.

I sure hope you can ride better

than the last gal.

Wait! Wait!

Chief Big Eagle and his wife,

Lorraine Running Water.

Miss Antoinette Lily.

All right, boys. We got to get moving.

Let's get to work.

What an honor.

The dime!

I wanted a Dr. Pepper.

Doc Lynch, this is Miss Antoinette Lily.

Welcome to Bronco Billy's Wild West Show.

I hope you'll be happy with us.

Quit chewing the fat,

we've got work to do.

We'll talk later, my dear.

Yeah.

You'll be paid a good wage

for an honest day's work.

Room and board are free.

You promised me a dime!

Do you ride?

Ride? You mean a horse?

This dime will be deducted

from your first week's salary.

Now, go ahead and make your call.

We got to hit the trail.

You sure are pretty.

Operator, thank God you're there!

I'd like to place a collect call

to New York. Area code 212-966-7058.

To Mrs. Irene Lily.

- "Your name", "please?"

- This is Antoinette Lily.

"I'm sorry", "that line is busy."

Would you like to try later?

Yes!

Damn you! Give me back my dime!

This isn't happening.

Would you drive me to the next town?

Certainly, ma'am.

I tell you that John Arlington has murdered

my helpless little stepdaughter.

I never should've let them marry.

- What could you have done?

- Well, I am the family attorney.

All of his wives seem to disappear

so mysteriously.

Now, don't go getting yourself upset.

Edgar, what will become of me

if she has met her end?

If that is the case...

you are next in line

for her departed father's fortune.

I just want her back, safe in my arms.

But we both know Antoinette would

want me to carry on, chin up.

I'll call the police immediately.

You're such a comfort.

"We're barroom buddies

and that's the best kind."
