The Apple Dumpling Gang Page #7

ever. right. and we'd

even cross our heart.

well, that's worth

thinkin' about.

we wouldn't want to take

any ropes with us, would we?

hey, mister.

what do you kids want now?

you tell him, bobby.

we want you to have

our gold nugget.

what gold nugget?

- the one you tried to steal.

oh, that gold nugget.

all you gotta do is

take it out of the bank.

you kids come all the way up here

just to tell us to rob the bank again?

we're already sentenced to be

hung for robbin' it the first time.

say, uh, maybe it's a fix to smoke us

out, theodore. this isn't any trick.

judge mccoy said

mr. wintle really

doesn't want us. he

just wants the gold.

so if you take the gold, then

mr. wintle will go away again.

and mr. donavan will

be stuck with us again.

mr. donavan buys us all the

apple dumplings we can eat.

it ain't like it's

really stealin'.

it's our gold, and

we're givin' it to ya.

all you have to

do is pick it up.

we'll help you.

pardon me just

a minute, ma'am.

what do you think, theodore?

oh, i don't know about the hash knife

throwin' in with a bunch of kids.

how's that gonna look

in the history books?

we wouldn't have to

call it "hash knife."

we could call them the

apple dumpling gang.

who's gonna know the difference?

it's like the kid says.

it ain't actually stealin'.

- and you better hurry...

'cause we're leavin' at

4:
00, when the bank closes.

theodore?

all right. all right! come on.

now, here's the bank. now we're gonna

need some dynamite to blow the safe.

we gotta get some kind of a

wagon to haul off the gold.

you got that, gang? now i

think we'll go in the side door.

you remember that side door. yeah.

now when we were hangin' in there...

let's see... that would

be just off to the right.

you told me to get you a wagon,

didn't ya? not that wagon.

well, what's wrong with... look.

these are the fastest horses in town.

we'll be halfway to mexico before they

find out. it's too late to change now.

let's get the thing headed

in the other direction. right.

you kids keep a

lookout for the sheriff.

i'm sorry. we're closed.

eh? i say we're...

i'm sorry, reverend.

we're closed for the day.

you'll...

open that safe.

clovis!

somebody else is

already robbing the bank.

come on!

oh, no. get on in there.

hurry up!

where'd they come from?

they was outside lookin' in.

get 'em over yonder out of

the way. and you keep quiet.

you hear? ox,

keep an eye on 'em.

get out of the room.

ain't that the most

beautiful sight you ever saw?

boy, oh, boy. -

ay-yi-yi. it's heavy.

where's the wagon?

- it's right outside.

easy, boys. let me

catch up with you.

this blasted thing weighs

a ton, dang it. sure does.

my leg don't work too good goin'

round this turn. now, that's got it.

now we got her.

hey, don't nobody

move! this is a holdup!

we're gonna rob the bank,

and we mean business.

you're a day late

and a dollar short.

like he said right

here... did you say it?

aah!

who in blazes are you? well?

ahem. uh, mr. stillwell asked

you a question, theodore.

uh, uh...

theodore.

- hi, frank.

amos.

- uh, still aren't mad...

'cause i shot you in

the leg, are you, frank?

i guess you are. please,

gentlemen, no shooting.

that dynamite is

old and is sweating.

if he drops it, there won't

be a bit of this bank left.

that makes sense.

all right, you two, get

over here and out of the way.

all right. move.

get these kids out of here where we

can watch 'em. all right, you.come on.

you're gonna walk right out of here

ahead of us, straight to the wagon.

one peep outta you

and i'll blow a hole

in you that you can

throw a mule through.

you understand? all right, get

to walkin', and keep smilin'.

hurry up! hooks,

get ahold of this.

come on. easy does it.

that's our gold! we

said they could have it!

outta my way. all right,

now we're gonna walk...

watch out for that dynamite!

whoa, whoa.

it's the law! looks like we're gonna

have to blast our way outta here.

you idiot. what's

all the firing?

they're tryin'

to get the nugget.

get this thing off of me!

hold this.

must be 50 of 'em in there.

i'll go get old betsy.

somebody get him a drink.

take more than that

to get the sting out.

get down!

my knees! get down.

don't do that anymore.

get down. aah! i'm

sittin' on my spurs!

dusty! ha! ha!

are you tryin' to

get yourself killed?

i am trying to

stop a bank robbery.

well, do it from a safe place,

not the middle of the street!

get it inside! come on!

whoa! aah!

does anyone know where

alvin keeps his corkscrew?

grab these kids, and let's get

out of here. what about the gold?

forget about the gold. we'll be lucky

to escape with our hides. hurry up.

frank, are you sure you

don't want your gold?

it's all yours, partner. don't

spend it all in one place.

i'm gonna buy some new toes.

you can't take those children.

let's go this way. frank,

our horses are around front.

well, so is half

the town.come on.

i ain't never gonna rob no

bank... ever, ever, ever.

that's it! aah!

aah! i can't move!

i guess they don't mind.

well, we better get back to town and

see what's happened to that nugget.

gold! it's a

gold nugget, lily!

gold! gold!

gold! gold! gold!

get out of here.

this is my claim.

anyone who looks for

gold around here...

is gonna fight me.

i wandered today to

the hill, maggie??

to watch the scenes below??

the brook and the creaking

old mill, maggie????

my bank. my beautiful bank.

oh, a man that

can fill an inside

straight like you

can don't need a bank.

leonard, you can work out of my

barbershop till you rebuild...

at no charge.

i want you to know that i hold your

bank and this town responsible...

for the loss of my gold.

and you! you can be jolly well

responsible for those three brats too.

mr. donavan! mr. donavan!

theodore and amos...

they were in the bank.

there you are, donavan:

5,000 for the capture

of frank stillwell.

it's no more than

you deserve, donavan.

and here is the deed

of the benson place.

there it is. the

roulette tables,

crystal chandeliers,

the red carpets.

everything. well,

you don't have to go through with

it if you don't want to, donavan.

someone else will buy the

benson place. it's in fine shape.

it shouldn't be so

bad. i'll be going into

town one or two nights

a week to play poker.

wanna bet?
