Outlaws and Angels Page #4

Joe, you behave yourself.

No funny business.

Pony up, little bug.

First light, we move.

We're lucky

if they ain't dead.

They didn't find no horses.

You have to prepare for

a stretch like that to make it.

Well,

maybe they was prepared.

I doubt it.

They're bank robbers,

not trackers.

I doubt it, too, but...

they're gonna come across

some horses soon.

And if they're still kicking,

they might kill for 'em.

I don't think it's smart,

us going in only two like this.

With surprise,

we'll get the bulge on 'em.

When we get to Mesilla,

I plan to picking up

some more muscle.

That'll help.

Honest, I don't miss the boys.

Their water's been more use

than them crossing this stretch.

Yeah.

Get up.

Alright.

...C'mon.

You have the oils?

We use chicken fat.

We'll do it dry.

Well, now take it up.

Get positioned proper, honey.

Sh*t.

What the dickens got into you,

little bug?

I'm sorry.

Son-of-a-b*tch

I should've asked.

Girl...

even I'm...

belly fired

I ain't partial to that.

I'm sorry.

Sh*t.

What are you doin'?

What's wrong?

Am I not doin' it proper?

I ain't opposed to relations

with you.

As a matter of fact...

...I have a fire in my belly

right now.

But this ain't the way

I want it.

I wanna bed you proper.

But you're acting more like...

an adventuress than a lady.

You been with one of them?

Been with a couple in my day,

I reckon.

But you gotta remember, I'm old.

You're not old.

For a lawbreaker...

...I'm ancient.

What was it like

with the painted ladies?

Did they do it good?

They have their own way.

But if I wanted

those kind of relations...

...I could have 'em

any time I want.

Now, what got into you,

little bug...

...make you do

a thing like that?

Youse likes to talks

about anything?

Alright.

Youse real lucky

Henry called me off...

...or I'd be f***ing you silly

right now.

Where'd that come from?

Knife.

Where'd those come from?

I think you know.

I suppose I do.

Did it hurt?

Every time.

Better than not hurting, though.

That means it's all over.

I never met a man like you.

I reckon

you ain't met many men.

Not many, but some.

I thought they were all

like my daddy.

I was wrong.

You are a good man.

I ain't never been accused

of such.

Well, I'm accusing you.

How's your riding legs?

Better than most girls,

worse than most boys, I suppose.

That'll do.

I'm tough enough.

You ever been down Mexico way?

No.

Mighty pretty

in the right spots.

Henry?

Yes, darlin'.

You fancy me?

I reckon I do.

I fancied you soon the moment

you walked through that door

even though I knew I shouldn't.

But it's different now.

Now that I know

you're a good man.

Henry?

Yes, darlin'.

I never been kissed before.

Damn near Apache country.

Maybe they got 'em already.

Maybe.

I doubt it, though.

That stretch would've got 'em

before the Apache did.

I just wanna collect 'em.

I don't care

if they're dead already

or alive as June Wiggles,

I just wanna collect 'em.

Josiah.

It's okay to lose out once.

Hell, we're done flush already.

Nobody's gonna

hold it against us.

No, it ain't,

and that ain't what it's about.

You oughta think about shutting

your cock-holster

less you wind up like

old yellow man over there.

You back down, Josiah.

I'm not one of your whores.

I won't quit until you do.

I'm just saying.

Yeah, just sayin'

Let's light a shuck. Come on.

Take a sit on your seat.

Alright now.

We all clear?

We's good.

Time to hightail it.

I knew that bastard'd keep

the woman the whole damn night.

If my knob was slimy

with done cunny,

I'd have stayed in there too.

Wake it up now, Henry.

Time to light a shuck!

Dammit, come on.

Already late.

Don't wanna tempt fate.

Them's rhymin' words,

Charlie!

Well, ain't you smart.

Take a settle...

knuckleheads.

What the f*** is this?

What do you think?

Who's she think she is

Calamity Jane?

Well...

this here's the new member

of our gang.

What's gotten into you, sissy?

You got rocks in your noggin,

Henry?

I'd mind your tone.

I'll mind my tone just fine

but I'm mighty worried about

you givin' fire to this girl.

You don't know her.

I'd mind your tone more.

That's my wife-to-be.

Wife-to-be?

Ain't nobody

gonna say nothing?

Ain't nothing nobody can say

missy.

First church we find,

we're gonna do it proper

ain't we now, Henry?

Why, yes, we is, little bug.

That way, I'm keeping

my promise, old man.

Save her for her husband.

Charlotte.

No, no, honey,

I done got my nose boogered,

but my legs are just fine.

Flo, you're upsetting your mama.

Why don't you come on

back to earth now?

I'm already right here

on earth, Papa.

Henry and I

are going off together.

Please, sir. I beg you.

In the name of the Good Christ.

She's just a baby.

She don't know what she's doin'.

Now I can tell...

that you are a good man.

Just like your husband?

Yes, sir.

Now, I know you don't wanna

lead her to the fire

when she's just a young'un.

She deserves a chance

to lead a righteous life.

You shut it, Mama.

I've had about enough of you.

Honey, I love you.

You're my little baby!

Honey, my sweetest,

darling little girl.

I know you're just making a mash

to save us

but this here's a fair man.

He got no need to bed us down.

He would've done it already.

Henry, we gots to cut stick.

Flo...

you just tell this man...

that you love your family

and that we need you.

Y-you tell him you can't go.

Yes.

I see here a man that...

...he wants to make his way

away from the fire.

I see a man th-that wants

to lead the righteous way.

Yes.

I see a man here that might...

Sissy, why you playing

such devilish games?

I ain't playin'

Well, hell!

Ain't she a firecracker.

Honey... why you wanna

point a gun at your daddy?

What I ought to do

is open a crater in your face

with this here pistol.

What you think about that, Papa?

Well...

it sounds to me

like he done bamboozled you,

turned you against your own pa.

Sissy,

that's just about enough!

Now, you leave Daddy alone!

Be a good girl, honey,

put the gun down.

Just remember that the good Lord

is testing us.

We can still serve him, honey,

and make everything better.

Honey, we got

to stick together as family.

Yes.

Alright.

That's enough.

You wanna do this right, sweets.

Siddown.

Fresh?

Hold on.

We got 'em alright.

They're on foot,

headed to Mesilla

and this boy here

he's bleeding

like a wag tail on the rag.

I wouldn't be surprised

if we come up on another stiff.

Which way?

Well, from here in...

there's only one way

that men can trek.

By the looks of this,

they ain't but two hops

and a holler away.

Do we ride?

Hell, yes. Let's cut stick.

Can I sit with my family, sir?

I ain't gonna tell you twice.

Sit... down.

You too, missy,

other side of the table.

Henry, what the hell's

going on here?

We need to cut stick.

It'll just take a few minutes.

But it ain't arguable.

Best grab a chair.

What in the Good Christ's name
