like a couple of rats.

Letting him step all over us,

ordering us around.

"Mrs. Owens, go along

with Tevis and Gratz. "

"No. The baby stays here. "

"Get a move on.

Put the baby to bed. "

"Owens, get out the team.

Follow him, Tevis. "

"Gratz, keep an eye on him. "

"Where are you going, Mrs. Owens?"

"Do this. Do that. "

And we did it.

Well, what else could we do?

You can't argue with a gun.

- And where did it get us?

- Well, we're still alive, aren't we?

Yes, we're still alive. And you know

what's gonna happen just as well as I do.

Well, sure I do. Any minute now they're

gonna take me out there to harness that team.

I'm their bait for a fine

ambush- a turkey shoot.

Sure, I know what's gonna happen.

Now what do you want me to do about it?

Say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zimmerman.

I'm not working today"?

Not me.

Sure, I took orders.

Sure, I let him walk all over me.

Sure, I rode along.

And why?

'Cause I was scared- scared stiff.

I'm just like you, sister.

I want to live.

I want to live just as long as I can.

Well, all right.

Up to now we've been mister and missus,

and she's been our kid.

I figured it was a good bargain

for both of us.

But from here on out

maybe you can do better on your own.

Well, what can you lose?

Maybe you better

tell Zimmerman who you are.

All right, Owens.

Just a minute, Zimmerman.

I've got something

I want to tell you. She and-

No, Tom. No.

It was a good bargain.

It's still a good bargain.

Come on, Owens. Kiss her

and get it over with.

I'll get the baby.

Tom! Tom!

Open the door!

- Get in this doorway.

- Open the door!

And don't leave it.

- Gratz, get up there with Yancy.

- Yeah, Zim.

The stage ought to show up

any minute now.

- Keep out of sight.

- Yeah, Zim.

Now before you start, Owens,

take a look over there.

Take a good look.

He'll watch every move you make.

And if you want to see

your wife and child again...

don't make any mistakes.

Now get going.

What kind of a man

are you, Zimmerman?

Anybody can see

that you're educated...

that you've had a good background.

Oh, I can understand the crazy thinking of

a road agent or a trigger-happy renegade...

but how a man could

leave a woman and baby...

alone with an animal like that,

I- I just don't understand it.

Do as you're told

and nobody will get hurt.

You expect me to believe that?

You have no choice.

Look, let 'em go now, hide out.

Then I'll play your game

with you to the hilt.

You can have my word on it.

I swear it.

When you get a little older and some

of the green wears off of you...

you'll learn never to trust

anyone with anything.

Now get going.

And don't worry too much

about what kind of a man I am.

Just keep your mind

on your wife and your kid.

Now come on. Let's go.

Callie?

Callie!

Callie!

Callie, come back here!

Callie!

Callie, come back here!

Callie! Callie!

Callie!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Shut up in there.

Shut up.

Open the door!

Shut up.

- Open the door!

- Shut up!

Shut up!

Tom!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

Tevis!

Have you gone completely loco?

Now wait a minute, Zim.

You don't know what happened.

Don't shoot.

She-She went haywire.

I couldn't let her run out, could I?

Honest.

It ain't my fault, Zim.

I've been wrong.

I admit it.

But from here on

I'm takin' your orders.

Take her in there.

Come on.

Now lock that door.

You killed Zim!

What for you kill Zim?

I'm boss now! From here on

I'm runnin' this show! You hear me?

Yancy!

Yancy! Keep your gun on him, Yancy!

Where are you, you yellow-bellied

horse thief? Yancy, can you hear me?

Callie!

Stick your head out! It'll cool you off!

You ain't no shot either, Owens!

Missed me a mile!

What's the matter, Owens?

You losin' your nerve or you

runnin' out of ammunition?

I got enough.

I got enough to hold you there

until the stage comes.

What's the matter, Tevis?

You running out of brave talk?

You hear that, Tevis?

I'm satisfiied to sit it out with you.

Callie!

Blow that thing again.

I don't think we'll have to sit it out.

Look at the gate!

Tevis!

Thought you had me, didn't you, Owens?

Tevis! Tevis!

Throw down that gun!

Walk towards me with your hands up!

Callie!

Stand up and throw down your gun...

or my next shot won't miss her!

That sounded like shootin' to me.

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah!

You got three seconds!

One! Two!

Ha! Drop that gun!

That's right!

Just keep a-comin'!

That's nice!

That's real nice!

Just keep a-comin'!

Let me see how much guts you got.

Keep a-comin'.

Keep a-comin'.

Don't yellow it now!

It ain't but a short piece

to where you're goin'.

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah!

Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!

Whoa!

What's been goin' on here, Tom?

Tom, that pot walloper up there came runnin'

toward us with this shoe in his hand.

He says it belongs to you.

Does it?

He's an honest man, Jake.

It does.

Will you tell me what in Jerusalem

you've been doin' here?

Learnin' the business, Jim.

Just learnin' the business.

Yes, sir. That's it.

The Jackass Mail-

the shortest, fastest, "backbreakingest"ride

you could buy for $200 gold...

meals included.

San Francisco to St. Louis

in 25 days and 25 nights.

Yes, sir, the Jackass Mail.
