Duel in the Sun Page #10

who needs a friend...

like you said.

Whoa!

Here's your luggage, miss.

You're Miss Helen, ain't you?

And you're Pearl.

He's been asking for you.

How is he?

He's... gonna be all right.

Thank heaven.

I shouldn't cry. I know it.

He wouldn't like it.

You couldn't do nothing

he wouldn't like.

You're very fond

of Jesse, aren't you?

After my pa...

There wasn't never nobody

good to me like my pa...

Except Mrs. McCanles...

and Jesse.

My dear.

You will come

and live with us, won't you?

I want you to.

Yes?

I'm glad you and Jesse

are... bespoken.

Thank you.

Hi, Pearl.

How's the hero?

I just heard

he was gonna pull through.

Tough luck, ain't it?

But Lewt will get him next time.

You can bank on that.

- Next time?

- Yeah.

Next time.

I got good news for you.

Yeah? What is it?

It's from Lewt.

He says you got to

hightail it out of here...

if you want to

kiss him good-bye...

before he beats it

across the border.

You mean it? Where is he?

I kind of figured

you'd like that.

He's hiding out

at Squaw's Head Rock.

You got that? Squaw's Head Rock.

Just fire two shots

when you get there.

I got it. Squaw's Head Rock.

Take the Apache trail

to the mission.

Any Indian there can tell you

how to get to Buffalo Ridge.

And then you...

You got a good horse?

It's a couple of days' ride.

Sure. I got my pinto.

You know, the one Lewt gave me

before I was his girl.

Hiya, Pearl!

Here I am!

I've been waiting for you!

Hello, honey!

I'll be right down!

Stay there!

I can't see you!

Can you see me?

You... double-crossing... bobcat!

I guess that does it.

You got me that time.

I'm done for.

You're lying.

You're lying,

like you always do!

I can't shoot no more, honey.

Honest.

I'm not scared of you.

I'm coming up after you.

All right, then. Come on up!

No use in my...

lying no more.

I'm through.

You hear me?

Yeah.

I'm dying.

I...

I'm going... fast.

Are you...

Ain't you coming up?

I want to see you.

I got to see you.

Where are you?

Where are you?

Hurry!

Please!

I... I got to...

hold you... just once more.

I love you.

I love you!

Hurry. Hurry!

Hurry, honey.

Hold on! Hold on!

Hurry!

Wait for me!

Wait for me.

Where are you?

You always said you could shoot.

I never believed you.

I love you.

I love you.

Don't cry, honey.

Don't cry.

I had to do it.

Of course you did.

Let me hold you.

Let me...

Just hold me.

Hold me once more.

Little... bobcat.
