MATTHEW:

(to himself)

What the hell will he think of next ?

Matthew stands at the center of the town and sees the

stable at he end of the right side.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STABLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew walks in cautiously and sees an animatronic

horse.

Matthew sees a water fountain and takes a sip.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN ALLEY, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

From the wall of a building opens the secret passage.

Out comes Bruce and Saundra. They are quiet as can be.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN SHERIFFS OFFICE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny checks the clip in his pistol.

JOHNNY:

(to the gun)

Let's kill us some weasel.

Johnny exits through the front door.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STABLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew starts to stare at the fake, unmoving horse.

MATTHEW:

(in a mock cowboy voice)

Steady ! Steady !

He laughs to himself.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny turns around when he hears the voice. He c*cks

his pistol and starts to move quickly and silently to

the stable.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN ALLEY, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

First Saundra & Bruce turn at the voice, then Johnny

walks right by them.

Bruce takes out his shotgun and follows.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny gets to the door to the stable. He very slowly

raises his pistol.

From JOHNNY's POV we see, He takes his time aiming at

Matthew.

MATTHEW:

(mock Mister Ed voice)

Wilbur, I have an itch on my ass, can

you scratch it ? Wi wi wi wi Wilbur !

More laughing.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce sees Johnny about to shoot.

BRUCE:

(O.C.)

It's not polite to stare.

C.U. of Johnny's eyes going wide.

SUPER DUPER FAST - Johnny swings and goes low, shooting

off the pistol at Bruce.

Bruce fires off a round from the shot gun.

They both miss each other.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STABLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew drops to the ground.

MATTHEW:

(petting the leg of the

horse)

I'm sorry Mr. Ed ! I'm sorry Mr. Ed !

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

A showdown is in progress. Johnny is behind a water

trough firing his pistol at Bruce. Bruce is behind a

beam post of a building.

JOHNNY:

Where's you get the gun Boss man ?

Bruce is silent. He starts to reload.

JOHNNY:

I thought that you said we were at the

START of trust.

Johnny fires off several rounds at Bruce.

Johnny then ducks into the saloon.

Bruce follows, firing at him as he goes. The shotgun is

empty. He drops it in the road and enters the saloon.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STABLE, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew pops his head out into the street. No one there.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN SALOON, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Bruce enters. No one there.

This place has a piano, a bar, and the chandeliers and

about twelve tables and matching chairs, all following

the 1965 motif.

From behind the bar, Johnny pops up and starts to fire -

two handed John Woo style with a nine millimeter and a

.45.

Bruce goes to the ground and rolls over, firing from a

pistol.

Glass bottles and the mirror behind Johnny shatter, He

goes back down behind the bar.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Matthew walks wearily by. Saundra gets behind him from

the alley. She taps him on the shoulder.

MATTHEW:

Jesus Christ ! I'm just a temp for

Christ sakes !

SAUNDRA:

Shut up ! It's me.

MATTHEW:

I think I'm very quickly getting over

my phobia of public urination.

SAUNDRA:

What ?

MATTHEW:

Nothing.

The shots can easily be heard going off int he Saloon.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN SALOON, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

It's a stalemate so far.

JOHNNY:

Give it up Bruce. You can work the park

better, but I'm the better shot. You

know it.

Bruce thinks for a second. He knows it's true. Then he

gets an idea. he starts to crawl away.

JOHNNY:

Why don't you take some of this ?

Johnny gets up and starts firing away at the floor where

Bruce WAS. He's so busy firing he doesn't notice. He

finishes up and sees an empty floor.

BRUCE:

Ahem....

Bruce is standing next to him with a gun to Johnny's

temple.

Johnny just closes his eyes in disappointment.

BRUCE (CONT'D)

Turn your head a little more to the

left.

Johnny turns away from Bruce. Then Johnny slaps the gun

from him, and kicks him in the crotch. Johnny then bolts

out the front door.

INT. OLD WEST TOWN STREET, MURDERLAND - NIGHT

Johnny runs past Matthew and Saundra in terror. He goes

around the building into the alley and through one of

the passages.

Bruce comes out.

MATTHEW:

Is it over ?

BRUCE:

(scrunchy with pain)

Almost. Look, you two get out of here.
