Suddenly Page #8

First time I got one in my hands and

killed a man, I got some self-respect.

I was somebody.

Like this kid over here.

If that cap pistol was a real gun

and I didn't have a gun,

he'd be a kind of a God too

and if I wanted my life,

I'd worship the ground he walks on

and I'd pay him the half a million

dollars for my life.

Because life is all I have.

But the squirt doesn't have the gun,

I have and I can loose the lightening.

No noise just pictures.

Oh, butterfingers!

You're wrong about God

and the gun, sheriff.

Without the gun you would

never have spit at me.

You would never

have even noticed me.

But because of the gun you'll

remember me as long as you live.

Where is it now?

Blowing for the 66 crossing,

outside town.

Alright, nobody moves.

This is it. You, over there.

Johnny,

let me see, once.

We're gonna' do it, Bart.

This is my meat. We're gonna' do it.

Just to see.

Return Fire.

Hold your Fire.

It didn't stop.

It didn't stop.

It didn't stop!

No... Don't.

No! Please, no!

Are you sure you're going

to be alright, Mr. Benson?

Oh! Don't worry about me

Mr. Wilson, I'll be alright.

I don't need any nurse maid.

We're certainly

grateful to you.

How come the train went

right through the station?

We simply cancelled

the stopover.

We couldn't take a chance

on the President's safety

once it were proven the

assassins were in town.

The President went on to

Los Angeles.

Missed the station, huh?

I'm afraid so.

Some day those guys are gonna' start

taking you for amateurs, Mr. Wilson?

I hope not. Thanks again,

Mr. Benson.

You too, young man.

Oh, that's alright. Someday I'm

gonna' be a bodyguard, just like you.

Nonsense boy. You're gonna'

grow up to be President

and president's

have bodyguards.

And grandpops?

And grandpops.

Especially grandpops.

Ellen.

How's Jud?

He didn't make it.

And Slim?

Critical, but they

think he'll be alright.

I guess somebody had

to make them stick.

What?

Something dad said this morning,

about principles.

Get in Tod;

I'll drive you home.

No thanks; I've got

to go over to the office.

Can I pick you up

for church tomorrow?

Yeah, that'll be swell.

Say officer.

Yeah.

Could you tell me the way

to Three Rivers?

Ah, you go down to the first intersection,

you turn left, it's about 60 miles.

Thanks.

What's this town?

"Suddenly".

Suddenly, what?

No that's the name.

That's a funny name

for a town.

Oh, I don't know.

I don't know about that.
