WE HEAR A GROUP OF LINES FROM CIRCLING COWBOYS ON HORSEBACK WITH BAGS

OVER THEIR HEADS: "Where are they, I can't see" - "They tricked us" -

"Did somebody fall" "Where the hell are they" "Y'all, Redfish fell

off his horse-He's kinda hurt bad."

Then amongst the confusion...

WE SNAP ZOOM TO:

A BIG TREE:

on the other side of the lake

Then quickly cut into The Tree.

Till we're in a CU OF Dr.SCHULTZ

with a SCOPE SIGHT RIFLE up to his eye.

SCOPE SIGHT POV:

The Yellow covered STICKS OF DYNAMITE protruding from the ground, are

inside the scope sight circle, Horse hooves step around it.

TWO SHOT:

Dr.SCHtJLTZ and DJANGO up in a tree.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Auf wiedersehen.

L,

He fires.

The Camp EXPLODES Blowing Horses and Riders Apart.

Dr.Schultz and Django lift up repeating rifles.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Let 'em have it!

DJANGO:

I can't see nothin'.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Just fire into the smoke.

The two treetop killers let loose with rifle fire.

INSIDE OF THE SMOKE

pandemonium reigns. Horses and Men trip over bodies and pieces of

bodies, of horses and men. Men with legs and arms blown off, yell

bloody murder, hurt and scared Horses cry. Some struggle to get the

sacks off their heads, while scared horses dance and buck in panic.

Some are shot by the rifle fire. The rest of the men not blown up, and

still on horseback, between the sacks and the smoke, still can't see

worth a damn. And Men and Horses collide with one another, which causes

more bucking and riders falling. About fifteen of the men who can still

ride, high tail it the f*** out of there. Whipped and whimpering like

dogs.

SPENCER BENNETT:

on his horse with the other fleeing regulators RIDES for his life...

SCOPE SIGHT POV:

We see the back of the fleeing Bennett smack dab in the cross hairs.

DJANGO:

scope sight rifle up to his eye.

Schultz next to him, says;

Dr.SCHULTZ

He's getting away.

DJANGO:

I got 'em.

SPENCER'S HORSE

his hooves race and rip up the grass.

SPENCER:

riding for his life...

DJANGO:

scope sight rifle up to his eye.

Dr.SCHULTZ

He's getting out of range.

DJANGO:

I got 'em.

INSERT:
A black finger squeezes the rifle trigger.

SPENCER BENNETT:

we're behind him as he rides away, OFF SCREEN we hear the whistling of

what sounds like an incoming missle.

SPENCER BENNETT:

we're in.front of Spencer Bennett as he rides, when Django's bullet,

RIPS THROUGH his CHEST.

DJANGO:

DJANGO:

I got 'em.

SPENCER BENNETT:

falls from his horse, dead.

DJANGO:

scope sight rifle in his hand, big smile on his face, looks.to

Dr.Schultz.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Like that, huh?

Referring to the scope sight rifle;

DJANGO:

I like.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Well, I think while they take this opportunity

to lick their wounds, we should take this

opportunity to get the f*** out of Tennessee.

They hop out of the tree.

MONTAGE:

Dr.Schultz in a big city, buying Django a new saddle. Django gets his

first initial "D" etched into it. The men go to different stores to

purchase Django's wardrobe. The outfit bought, is selected by Django,

with suggestions offered by Schultz. When he's done, Django looks damn

handsome in his new duds. Brown cowboy boots, Green Corduroy Jacket,

Smokey Grey Shirt, Tan Skin Tight Pants, and Light Brown Cowboy Hat.

He looks a. bit like Elvis in "Flaming Star" and a Little Joe Cartwright

on "Bonanza". However, tellingly, he keeps Ace Speck's Winter Coat as

his winter coat.

EXT - COUNTRY MEADOW - PRETTY DAY

Django, sitting on his new saddle, in his new duds, rides alongside

the good doctor Schultz. The German carries a PICNIC BASKET.

Dr.SCHULTZ

But I'm serious son, Greenville is just too

dangerous for you to go f***ing around there.

You're a freed, slave, you should be in New York.

You shouldn't be in Greenville, you shouldn't

even be forty miles on any side of Greenville.,

You shouldn't be anywhere in Mississippi.

DJANGO:

She's my wife, it's my job to look after her.

If Greenville's where I gotta go to find out

where she went, then I gotta go. Now you

were sayin' where I gotta go first?

Dr.SCHULTZ

There'should be some sort of records office.

You know when she was sold, you know where

she came from, the Carrucan Plantation, and

you know her name ... . what is her name?

DJANGO:

Broomhilda.

Schultz reacts.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Broomhilda?

Django.nods his head yes.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Were her owners German?

Now Django reacts, "How did he know that?

DJANGO:

Yeah, how did you know? She wasn't born on

The Carrucan Plantation. She was raised by

a German mistress, The Von Shafts. She can

speak a little German too.

Dr.SCHULTZ

Your wife?

DJANGO:

Yeah, when she was little her mistress taught

her so she'd have somebody to talk German with.

Dr.SCHULTZ

So let me get this straight, your slave

wife speaks German, and her name is

Broomhilda Von Shaft...?
