The Ballad of Little Jo Page #5

TO SHOW THEM:

SOME OF THE COUNTRYSIDE.

WHAT DO YOU:

THINK OF IT, MRS. GRAY?

IT WOULD BE:

A FINE ADVENTURE

FOR A SHORT WHILE.

YEAH, ACTUALLY,

WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING

FOR THE PERFECT SPO

TO BUILD OUR:

NEW RANCH HOUSE.

REALLY?

WE'VE SEEN MANY

BEAUTIFUL VISTAS,

BUT NOT AN OUNCE

OF CULTURE:

FOR:

A THOUSAND MILES.

DID YOU BRING:

THE PAPERS?

AND A CHECK,

MR. MONAGHAN.

EXCUSE US, DARLING.

WE'LL JUST BE A FEW MINUTES.

HENRY, CAN'T YOU

SIT STILL?

GOODNESS, NO, MOTHER.

THOSE OF US RAISED

AND EDUCATED:

IN THE EAST,

MR. MONAGHAN,

CAN NEVER TRULY CALL

THIS WILD COUNTRY HOME.

HENRY, DON'T TOUCH

THAT SHEEP!

UHH!

COME WIPE:

YOUR HANDS.

COME HERE:

IMMEDIATELY.

SIT QUIETLY UNTIL

YOUR FATHER GETS OUT.

AH...IF YOU'LL

JUST SIGN HERE,

YOU CAN BE ON YOUR WAY.

I'VE CHANGED MY MIND,

MR. GRAY.

IS THAT WISE,

MR. MONAGHAN?

DOES YOUR WIFE:

KNOW:

HOW MANY PEOPLE:

YOU'VE HAD KILLED?

HOW DARE YOU, MONAGHAN?

I SUGGEST YOU SIGN.

TOMORROW'S

ELECTION DAY.

I GUESS I'LL RIDE

INTO TOWN:

WITH FRANK BADGER.

THEY WILL:

COME AFTER YOU.

YES.

I WILL TRY TO TRAVEL

IF YOU WANT.

THERE'S NO PLACE

I WANT TO GO.

SONS OF B*TCHES.

AAH! AAH!

AAH!

AAH!

YEE-HAW!

YEE-HAW!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

JO!

OH, GODDAMN IT,

LITTLE JO,

I TOLD YOU:

YOU'D GET IN TROUBLE

OUT HERE ALL ALONE.

EASY.

HOLD ON.

I'M GONNA

TAKE YOU TO TOWN.

I'M GONNA GO HITCH

UP THE BUCKBOARD.

NOW GODDAMN YOU,

DON'T YOU DIE

ON ME.

OH, MY GOD.

UHH!

I WAN LITTLE JO MONAGHAN

TO HAVE THE BES FUNERAL EVER

IN RUBY CITY.

YES, SIR, MR. BADGER.

[TINNY PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

HEY!

LITTLE JO MONAGHAN IS DEAD.

NO.

HOW DID IT HAPPEN?

COME ON, NICK.

DRINKS ON ME, EVERYBODY.

HE KINDA CHANGED

AFTER PERCY LEFT.

WELL, I PLUM FORGO ABOUT HIM.

HMMPH!

I NEVER DID:

LIKE THAT PERCY.

I WAS SURPRISED:

LITTLE JO TOOK TO HIM

THE WAY HE DID.

I THOUGHT FOR SURE

THAT HE'D SETTLE DOWN

WITH MARY.

HE'D HAD BEEN

A GOOD HUSBAND TO MY GIRL.

THEY'D HAVE STAYED NEARBY.

WE'D A-SEEed

HER AGAIN.

YEP.

SWEET MARY.

BY GOD, THEY WOULD'VE

MADE FINE KIDS.

OH.

HERE'S TO

LITTLE JO MONAGHAN.

LITTLE JO.

MR. BADGER.

YEAH, WHAT?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IT'S ABOUT LITTLE JO.

WELL, SPEAK UP, MAN.

WHAT ABOUT HIM?

HE WAS A WOMAN.

WHAT?

[WHISTLES]

HOIST THAT FELLER

UP THERE, JIM.

BILL, GIVE US A HAND,

WILL YOU, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

HURRY UP OVER ON

THE OTHER SIDE, THERE, ZEB.

THATABOY.

PERFECT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOIN'?

HOW AM I SUPPOSED

TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THAT?

WELL, MAYBE...

MAYBE SOMEBODY OUGH TO GET US A ROPE.

DOES SOMEBODY:

GOT A ROPE HERE?

GIVE IT HERE, SON.

HOW IS THAT?

YOU OLD FOOL.

OPEN HIS EYES.

HOW CAN I TAKE:

A DECENT PHOTOGRAPH

WITH HIS EYES CLOSED?

HIS EYES, SAM.

HER EYES, LYLE.

OH.

DIRTY SON OF A B*TCH!

GODDAMN YOU!

YOU WERE JUST FOOLING

AND LYING! YEAH!

SON OF A B*TCH!

GODDAMN YOU!

ARRGH! GODDAMN!

GODDAMN!

MY GOD, LITTLE JO.

MY SWEET SON:

THE BLUE OF NIGH HAS FALLEN

I CAN'T BE

BY YOUR SIDE:

ONLY SON:

IT'S HARD TO TAKE

THE LEAVING:

BUT FOR YOUR SAKE

I'LL LIE

IN MY HAND:

FEELS A SILVER DAGGER

IF YOU NEED MY KNIFE

IN MY HEART:

LIKE A THORN OF GOLD

EVER YOU ABIDE:

AND IT'S TRUE

THE LIFE THAT I AM LEADING

THE LAW:

WILL NOT UPHOLD:

AND IT'S TRUE

THAT EVEN THOUGH

IT COULD CHANGE:

I WOULD NO CHANGE IT NOW

IN THIS WILD PLACE

WHERE THE ROADS END

I'VE BEEN BOTH

LOST AND FREE:

MY HANDS ARE HARD

BUT SO STRONG:

THEY TOUCH:

MORE TENDERLY:

LADDIE, BABY,

THE BOY I LEAVE BEHIND ME

THE MAN I'LL NEVER SEE

IN MY DREAMS:

I DREAM:

THAT YOU ARE WITH ME

CONSTANTLY:
