Outlaws and Angels Page #2

They know

we'd have to be cracked

to follow 'em down these parts.

Well, I ain't cracked.

Ain't no coin worth that.

Goddamn.

What you get for talking

out your neck, yellow scamp.

Sorry, Lulu.

It's okay. He had it comin'.

Yeah. Now, we're gonna have

the yellow man

take the girl back to town,

we'll push on.

Boss...

maybe we should think

about this.

I thought about it.

I think you oughta get

on your f***ing horse,

we'll go get some heads.

I'm starting to wonder

if we's dead and gone to hell.

Left rung...

firebug...

snatch... wart.

You go and you get the pillow.

What the hell

you yappin' about?

Build it! Build it strong

with the logger and the roots

big John!

You okay, Maddie?

Probably too late

to save myself from the fire

but I'm gonna die tryin'

Hallelujah

and praise Jesus.

You mind your place.

I was just joshin'

I wasn't.

Need some water, boys.

I'm hungry, goddammit.

Sun up, sundown

and back again with no eats.

Steak'd be nice.

Now he's joshin'

Henry?

He gone.

Almost.

Whole side of his head's rotten.

Yeah, well,

better him than us.

I didn't mind him.

I'm not gonna talk ill

of the dead

but I didn't care

for him much anyway.

You just spoke ill of a dead,

Charlie.

Shut the f*** up, Joe.

He's not quite dead yet

but he's almost there.

Put him out?

Pfft! Waste of a good round

if you ask me.

Well, that ain't nice at all.

Goddammit!

You happy now?!

I gots to have eats, Henry.

What we needs is some whores.

No eats and you might die.

If we die,

whores won't gonna matter.

You're a smart one, kid.

That's real funny.

Henry might as well dropped

a pile a sh*t in your mouth.

Shut your yap, Charlie.

I'll kills ya dead.

I'll make you a goner

you dirty halfwit.

Hobble your lips.

Can't go much farther

without horses, Henry.

My foot's swole

and these bags is like lead.

Back.

Get down.

Well, I'll be.

That ain't no town, Henry.

Nope.

Town can't be too far.

Gotta get their congregation

somewhere.

They might have eats.

They'll have eats.

And they'll have horses.

Alright, boys.

We hit 'em at dark.

Cackleberries?

Yes, dear.

No, no. That'll do just fine.

Charlotte?

Yes, please.

Florence?

Can't handle

no more cackleberries.

Any more cackleberries

is the proper way, Florence.

I know, Mama,

but Daddy always says it.

Do as I say, not as I do,

girl.

Yes, Papa.

You acts like you all big

and smart

but you can't even

says it right.

Leave me alone, sissy.

I'll leave you alone

when I want to,

you dirty whore.

Hey, now!

Watch your language

young lady!

She should get a soap mouth

for saying that curse.

Only dumb ugly girls like you

get soap mouths.

Hey! Cut it out now!

One more word

and I will get the stick.

Please say grace, Georgie.

Come, Lord Jesus,

be our guest,

and let these gifts to us

be blessed.

Amen.

Amen.

Tastes real nice, Mama.

Well, thank you, honey.

Yep, mighty nice.

Are we gonna have milk

again soon?

Cow looks bony.

Can't figure if it's old age

or just not enough feed.

The good Lord

will always get us through.

Just testing us, that's all.

Yep, testing us good.

In all that plagues us

in this world,

all the darkness,

there will always a little God

to find.

And it's a beauty to behold.

Praise Jesus.

Praise Jesus.

Hold on. Hold on now.

Stop eating right quick.

Mama, I'm hungry.

Can I please just finish...

Your mana's feelin'

the Holy Spirit now, Flo.

Ain't no way to plan

for when it comes.

Here it is.

He causeth the grass

to grow for the cattle

and herb for the service

of man

that he may bring forth food

out of the earth

and wine that maketh glad

the heart of men...

Well, that's for some men

in the biblical times.

Not for you, Georgie.

'Course not.

Nor for you girls.

I reckon that's stated proper

'cause it says men, not women

Women ain't allowed

to do nothing in that book.

Back in those times

back in those times

drink was different.

Now it's the whiskey

got the devil in it.

The devil's work.

The devil's work is not right.

It's not right.

Sweetheart...

don't get yourself

all worked up.

It's gotta stop.

Go on there,

read us the rest.

Yes, of course.

Thou makest darkness

and it is night

wherein all the beasts

of the forest do creep forth.

The young lions roar

after their prey

and seek their meat from God

They seek their meat

they seek their meat from He

God, Him.

Only He can bring us the grass

for the cow.

Only he can bring healing

to the town

and steady congregation to us

once again.

We do the work, but He decides.

You must always remember that.

Always, Mama.

Be thankful

no matter how dark the time.

And worship.

Praise Jesus.

Praise Jesus.

You may eat.

Go! Go!

Hoo!

Well, I'll be.

Dinnertime.

Back in your chair, ma'am.

Take a settle.

Flo, get your hands up!

No need for that, mister.

Y'all can put your hands down.

You heeled?

Just my scatter gun

over yonder.

There's another.

Under the bed in the sleep room.

Six-shooter.

Daddy, look what she did!

They found it, they'd kill us.

It's okay, honey.

Smart young lady

you got there.

Now, mister...

Mister, I'm trying real hard

to be as nice

as I done well can.

Ain't gonna tell you

more than once.

Don't you ever lie to me.

Yes, sir.

That it?

Alright, then.

He isn't gonna kill us?

Hush now.

Can I ask what exactly

we can do for you boys?

You look like good boys.

Good Christians.

You wouldn't hurt us

now would you?

I can assure you, ma'am

these ain't good boys

I got here.

And I myself, well

I's a hard case.

But we ain't here

to do no killin'

I gots to have eats.

Yes, sir. We have...

hens' eggs and...

bean sludge for you.

Nice and hot.

I think we strike gold, Henry.

If you're all finished

I'd ask you

to slide yourselves down yonder.

Get a wiggle on. Come on.

Keep your fire pointed

at their noggins, Joe!

Where'd all that blood

come from?

Shut it now, girl!

Why's she trying

to get us all full of bullets?

Quit pokin' at 'em.

Nothin' wrong

with the young lady

wanting to have

some conversation.

She's just a dumb, stupid kid,

sir.

Looks like a lady to me

if I ever seen one.

She's just stupid.

You're stupid.

Alright...

let's be nice to each other

as we pass the time.

I'm sorry, sissy.

No, you ain't.

Well, yes, I am.

No, you ain't.

Yes, she is already!

How many horses, mister?

Only two, sir,

and they's crows' bait.

Other two died

in the freeze-out.

Dammit! Dammit all to hell!

I got two pack mules, sir

Mayhap that'll help.

I ain't ridin' no pack ass.

We'll take the horses,

put Little Joe

on one of them mules.

Mighty slow movin'

It'll get us to the meet-up.

Alright.

Listen here, mister.

We ain't gonna hurt you none

as long as you go along.

Alright?

We're gonna have a breath,

wash up,

get some shuteye.

Then, at daylight

we're gonna light a shuck

outta here.

Well, what if the lawmen

comes tonight?

That's the smartest thing

he's ever said.

They wouldn't track us
