Soon, with her oblivious paramour off plying his trade, Tonia falls in with Dunn, drawn by the allure of a substantial reward for the Kid's capture -- dead or alive. Together, they concoct a plan to ambush and do away with the Cisco Kid once and for all.

I have a message for you.

Yeah?

How do you know

This message is for

the handsomest man in town.

Well, you're on the right

street, sister. Speak up.

Seor Chicuello, the man you meet

this morning is called out of town.

Oh. Is that so?

It's a swell world.

This place is terrible rough

place for nice girl to come.

Oh, it is?

These women are very bad.

No?

These women are very common.

[ Chuckles ]

You wouldn't fool me?

No, I wouldn't fool you.

I hate to see a nice soldier like you

get mixed up with bad women.

Well, girlie,

I'm glad you warned me.

Come on, sit down,

have a drink.

- You speak to me?

- Yeah.

What you trying to do,

make fun of me, eh?

Let me tell you this.

I am the prettiest girl

in town.

Well, what am I supposed

to do now, drop dead? Geez.

You are a conceited fool.

Yeah? Well, you're

no shrinking violet, baby.

You can't understand any man

not falling in love with you, huh?

Well, what is the matter with me?

Turn around, let's see.

[ Chuckling ]

You think my favors are cheap, eh?

You think I'm like these other women, eh?

- How do you know what I think?

- I don't care what you think.

Well, that makes

everything square, baby.

Maybe I'm not like

these other men, either.

Maybe you are a saint,

a soldier saint, eh? That is funny.

The last soldier who come to this town

was carried out on a stretcher.

Well, you still got that stretcher.

- [ Chuckles ]

- A soldier saint.

- That is funny.

- [ Snaps Fingers ]

[ Dunn ]

Now that's as funny as a cry for help.

- Hello, Sergeant.

- Hello.

Looking for someone?

Sit down.

Can I help you?

Say, who is that girl?

You'd be surprised.

Yeah?

Huh. By golly, you get lots of love letters

all the time, huh?

No, no.

This from my sister in old country.

Yeah, I wish I had sister.

I got nobody.

The rainbow's end

and the moonbeam's kisses.

Who knows?
