I Shot Jesse James Page #5

- We could make it a double wedding.

- Just you and me and - - Gold is nothing

but the last corruption of degenerate man.

But to be just a little corrupt

for the sake of art, that I wouldn't mind.

- How much? - I bought her

hats and dresses and shoes and -

- How much gold will it take?

- Now you're talking like an intelligent bachelor.

Anyone can get married.

Mr. Soapy, I just want -

I just - I just wanted to -

- Hello.

- Hello.

You're going to marry him

tomorrow, huh?

Well, not tomorrow.

You're not ever going to marry him,

because I won't let you. Pack up.

You can't come in here

and tell me what to do.

You didn't let that stop you

when you ordered me out of St. Joe.

You're making it worse for me.

Cynthy.

We don't need talk

to understand each other.

You don't love him.

I can't hurt him.

Then why did you come here?

Tell me.

- Well, I -

- Why?

I- I - I wanted to tell him

to his face.

What were you going to say?

What were you going to say? What?

I'm sorry for you.

I could never marry you.

I don't love you, Bob.

I don't love you. I really don't love you.

I don't love you, Bob.

I don't love you.

I really don't love you.

- I don't love -

- Cynthy!

- It's Kelley.

- Oh, Kelley!

- It's Veronica.

- No.

She's not here.

Frank! FrankJames.

Hello, Cynthy. Sit down.

Sit down, Mr. Kelley.

I'm not lookin' for you.

I'm lookin' for Bob Ford.

I tried to climb into Bob's room,

but his window was locked.

- If you kill him, you'll hang.

- Shut up. Sit down.

I didn't mean to listen to what

you were saying, Cynthy.

I, uh, got a little reckless

and knocked over a bottle of perfume.

Ain't used to female things, you know.

- I know how you feel -

- Shut up.

Soon as we hear the verdict,

we'll get back to work.

I still can't figure out how Kelley

got the best of FrankJames.

Mr. Kelley happens to be a very-

Well, he's a very smart man.

What do you think they'll give Frank?

Ten years maybe?

I don't know.

What number do you -

What number do you wanna rehearse?

Maybe 20 years, maybe.

They'll never keep him in jail, Bob.

He's been there a week,

but they won't keep him long.

You're right. The trial is over.

- Uh, waiter.

- How many years did they-

He's free.

I don't understand. There wa -

There was a price on his head.

There is, Bob,

but not in Colorado.

I don't have to kill you.

But I'm gonna tell you something

that will kill you.

You're aimin'to marry Cynthy.

When you put your lips up close to hers,

she'll be kissing you...

but she'll be thinking of Kelley.

It's you she's sorry for,

but it's him she wants.

Anyone seen the marshal?

I kept away because of you, but I -

I don't like this hiding from him.

Everybody knows what he'll do

the minute he sees you.

I've gotta figure out some way

to talk to him.

- But he's crazy with jealousy.

- I'm not gonna run away from something I want.

- Then take me away. Anywhere. Let's

leave right - - You wouldn't like that.

Do you want to spend

the rest of your life behind a bolted door?

They tell me

Ford's on his way over here.

- Well, I've gotta talk to him.

- He'll kill you.

I've got to try

and talk some sense into him.

I hope what I'm going to do now

turns out right...

for all of us.

I hope so.

# Someday

you'll need my love at last #

You got your back to me, Kelley!

Turn around!

Turn around, Kelley!

Turn around!

I ain't waitin', Kelley!

Turn around!

Kelley! Turn around!

Go on. Shoot.

I ain't waitin', Kelley!

Turn around!

- Keep away from your gun and listen.

- I'm listenin'.

I was hopin' I could talk some sense

into you without the help of-

- I'm still listenin'.

- She's not gonna marry you.

She came here to tell you that.

We both love her-

you in your way...

and me - me in my way.

Some men will kill for a woman.

Some won't.

You won't

'cause you don't love her enough.

He just wouldn't listen to me.

- Aw, Cynthy.

- Shh.

I - I want to tell you somethin'

I ain't never told anyone.

Oh, Bob.

I'm sorry for what I done toJess.

I loved him.
