I give up! Stop the consarned shooting!

Buckett!

Hey! Why'd you try to kill me, Billy?

'Cause I don't like guys

whose brother killed my brother.

You mean,

my brother Robin killed your brother?

He sure did. One Waldo Buckett by name.

Yeah. And $2 will get you $4...

if Billy ain't the polecat which killed Robin!

Just a moment. This cannot be.

I never miss, except on purpose.

When you're drunk

you can't hit the broad side of a buffalo...

-with a hat full of buckshot.

-But, Jason--

-Speak up, lover. How did you do it?

-You better talk, Billy.

When two guys is banging away

at each other with guns...

it ain't very hard for a third guy

to slip in a shot without being noticed.

Why, you dirty....

All right, so it ain't very honorable...

but us cowards got to do the best we can.

Do you hear that, Officer?

Arrest that man immediately.

Don't let them do this.

They'll take me out and hang me.

No, you don't.

I'm scared to death of being hung!

Come on and draw, Reb!

I'm the guy which killed your brother!

Why don't you draw?

No, Billy, law and order's come

to Limbo County.

Come on, now, Reb. You owe this to me.

Remember, the Code of the West?

Sorry, Billy, but the Code's not for cowards.

-But, Reb!

-Take him away!

And you know what to do with him!

-You mean...

-Yup!

Ki-yi, big doings

No more killing

Got the villain

Hey, all you roaring cowboys

Ain't this a pretty sight?

Red garters on a dancing girl

We'll have a time tonight

Ki-yi, big doings

I never had a gal

My horse has been my pal

And we been raising lots of heck

Ain't this a lovely day?

But now I think I'm ripe

And you're the gingham type

To drop the noose around my neck

With a dime and a dollar

And a whoop and a holler

You're a lucky son of a gun

It was closer than I thought

And my ''No sir'' nearly brought

Years of bitter ache

What a break

I did not make

That big mistake

Oh, lover, this is greater

than I thought

Ki-yi, big doings

Ladykiller, that's my way

Ladykiller, that's what they say

With a Ki-yi, big doings

We're a-heading for a wedding

I'm glad you had those good intentions

Now I'll never let you go

I believe in all your good intentions

'Cause I love you so

Ki-yi, big doings
