Posse Page #4

---

My little friend here's gonna stick around,

make sure you do it right.

And there's just one more little

special thing I need you to do for me.

What's that?

- You done, smithy?

- As soon as this batch cools.

You make that special order he asked for?

I had to plate the cartridge,

but that slug's pure.

It's gonna make a nasty hole

in something, gold being so soft.

- I can't figure out...

- Just pack it up.

Come on, now, Obobo, give me a hand.

Father Time.

Sometimes it's important

to be able to trust a man, isn't it?

- I was just looking at this...

- No.

Not you. Him.

What's the odds we can trust him?

- Not good, I guess.

- No.

- You always play your hunches, right?

- Mm-hm.

(Little J and Obobo laughing)

- Go ahead and shoot him.

- Huh?

Go ahead and shoot him.

You're joking, right?

Call me out, huh?

OK.

Mister, I don't know you.

But when I get through with you,

won't nobody know you.

Wait a minute, mister.

I didn't do nothing to you.

- It's you!

- You shouldn't give a rat's ass who he is.

I'm gonna kill you.

You gonna shoot, shoot.

Save the bluffing for games.

- Jessie, you killed the blacksmith.

- We gotta get out of here.

Let's go!

I want you to take this little package

over to a man named...

When he shows up, give it to him.

It's real important. OK?

OK.

What the sh*t is going on?

Take off your hat when you talk to a lady.

- Crazy son of a b*tch.

- (Little J) Watch that, now, Time.

See that bad man right there?

That's Father Time.

We the outlaw posse.

You run down there and tell the sheriff

that Father Time and the outlaw posse's

in a killing mood.

- Move.

- Jessie, what are you doing?

I said everything's got its price.

Now so will you. Just like the rest of us.

(Little J) You always play your hunches.

Ain't that right?

Hey, boy!

Hey, boy!

Afternoon, Watt.

Hey, Jessie,

you wouldn't shoot a lawman, would you?

Jessie, I'm unarmed. I'm unarmed.

Jessie, you wouldn't shoot. Please, Jessie.

You wouldn't shoot an unarmed...

(train whistle)

Jessie!

Jessie!

They were just here.

- Excuse me. Is yous Colonel Graham?

- Yes, darling, I am.

One of them left something.

Said to give it to Colonel Graham.

It has not been long.

We can still get them.

In time.

That crazy fool better know who he's

messing with. I ain't going to jail for him.

We all better know who

we're messing with. They're all killers.

The colonel likes

getting prisoners on military deferment.

Like Jessie. He was supposed to hang.

I don't know what demons Jessie has,

but I know he definitely has a past.

That's what the gold bullets are for.

Gold's timeless.

The hoodoo ladies in New Orleans

believe the only way to put demons to rest

is to kill them with gold.

Hold on! Y'all are talking craziness.

With 500 dollars on each of our heads, we

all got plenty of our own demons after us.

We have had pretty good luck up till now.

Maybe it's better if we go our own ways.

Split up.

You can split up if you want to. But if

anybody can get us there, Jessie can.

Dead or alive.

(plays haunting tune)

(woman) Jessie! Jessie!

Stop!

Jessie, stop it.

Jessie Lee, we hereby sentence you

to life in the military.

(? "Let That Hammer Fall"

by The Neville Brothers)

? Let that hammer fall

? But I didn't get very far

? Let that hammer fall

? I was riding out with my gang

? Let that hammer fall

? Oh, I'm lucky that it wasn't a man

? Let that hammer fall

? These railroad tracks

gonna break my back

? Let that hammer fall

? If I wipe my brow

I hear the bullwhip crack

? Let that hammer fall

? See the big white man

on his big white horse...

Cutterstown. Look at that.

We're still a long way off.

Not if we go through Diablo Pass.

That's Sioux territory, Jessie.

We won't have help from soldiers

if we get into trouble.

The red man ain't got no problem

with the black man.

As for you, white boy,

that's a whole different story.

First you enslave the black man,

exploit the yellow man,

then you kill the red man so you can use

his land for railroads. Can I get a witness?

Amen!

If I may approach the bench, Your Honour,

I ain't never personally enslaved nobody,

so, Time, you can kiss my white ass.

If there was a train on these tracks

right now, we'd both be on it.

But I'd be gambling and you'd be

fetching my chips like a little houseboy.

You can't even cheat right.

Can I get a witness?

Amen!

- Jessie, can I kill the cracker?

- Let the Indians get him.

Let's move out.

Come on, Jessie, let's have some fun.

? Ain't no man can put a chain on me

? Let that hammer fall

? Oh, sometime I think about the red man

? With the feathers in his hair

? Took me in his home

? And together we grow grain

? He was my friend

? That old Indian...

(Obobo) I told you, Weezie.

Jessie Lee will show us the way.

- (Weezie) When you're right, you're right.

- Don't fall in.

(laughter)

Hillbilly, I knows you ain't crazy.

Dilapidated motherf***er.

What's that old saying, Jessie?

Time sure flies when you're having fun!

Kiss my... Argh!

Give your soul to heaven

cos your ass is mine!

Yeah? Well, get ready, cos here it comes!

You're gonna need

a mouthful of gold teeth.

- Look at that!

- I'm taking a piss.

- Look at the size of your dick!

- Jessie! Jessie!

Look at his dick!

The coloured d*cks are coming!

(Weezie) F***. F***, I say. F***.

F*** this monotonous cowboy bullshit!

What is "monotonous"?

It means I can't take it no more.

- Shut up!

- We got company, Jessie.

I'm talking about revolution

without bullets.

Revolution without violence or bloodshed.

It's easier to shoot a gun

than it is to read a book.

It's easier to take a man's life than it is

to educate him and teach him about life.

It's easier to hate than it is to love.

The revolution I'm talking about

is a revolution of the mind and the spirit.

And education, that's the key.

Education leads to freedom.

Education is freedom.

Education will teach you

how to do it yourself

as opposed to asking

someone else to do it for you.

And around it...

our own town...

Freemanville!

And a dream like Freemanville,

it's worth it.

You want education? How's this?

(child coughs)

(gunshot)

Little early for rewards, boys.

- They went through Sioux country.

- We're not. Mount up.

Sooner or later Jessie's gonna show up in

Cutterstown. We'll be there to greet him.

Jessie Lee, you sure Freemanville's

a good idea with the colonel on our tails?

We's only gonna stay one night. The rest

of you boys can decide for yourselves.

It sounds like a right good idea.

I could freshen up

and maybe I'll join you later, stranger.

(King David) Education leads to freedom.

Education is freedom.

(all sing)

Whoo-hoo!

(Weezie) Hello, ladies!

Mm-hm! Howdy, ma'am!

(? "Freemanville (Homecoming)"

By The Sounds of Blackness)

- ? So ride on, ride on

- ? In Freemanville

- ? That's where you belong

- ? In Freemanville

? But you gotta be strong
