The Cimarron Kid Page #2

but you don't think

fast enough.

Anything else?

Yeah. You don't shoot

so good, neither.

Know somebody better?

Kid, you got a minute?

Come on.

Don't make me out

a liar, Kid.

Come on, Red.

Go ahead, Bill!

This better be good.

(GUN FlRlNG)

MAN 1 :
Now that's shooting!

MAN 2:
That's enough

for me, Kid.

MAN 3:
Tulsa!

Hey, Dynamite!

Red'll be the boss

at lndependence.

You take your orders

from him.

Does he tell me how

to blow up a county

courthouse safe?

He'll be the leader,

that's no fooling.

All right, leader!

That's a raw deal

you handed me, Bob.

Oh, l don't think so,

Red.

You always wanted

to be a leader and

now you are.

Second division.

(ALL LAUGH)

l ain't gonna be

aced out of my share

of Coffeyville!

You'll get it! So will

Dynamite and Tulsa.

Now, you'll be leveling

at lndependence

the same time as us

at Coffeyville.

So do a neat job

and get away fast.

We're all of us heading

back here, ain't we?

Well, we're not expecting

any trouble, but if we do,

why, we figure

they'll throw out

a big net for us.

And Bob was sort

of figuring...

l kind of figured that...

Well, they'd be

expecting us to

head for here,

so why don't we

cross them up?

We'll go straight to

Pat Roberts' cow ranch.

Yeah, well, maybe

Pat Roberts don't

like us anymore.

l understand he's turned

honest in a big way.

Oh, Pat's all right.

Don't you worry about him.

lf we get in trouble,

he'll help us out.

Now, l guess you fellows

better get saddled up.

Thanks.

l don't think Red

likes you very much.

(LAUGHlNG)

Quite a hideout,

ain't it?

Ain't no peace officer

gonna trail us in here

without he gets lost

or belted around

by a lot of lead.

Hey, Stacey,

think you could

rustle us up a couple

of covered wagons?

Sure can.

Clothes for six of us,

make us look like

emigrants on the trail?

Gotcha.

All right.

Then you meet us

outside Ouachita.

You know the spot

in the Cherokee Strip.

Sure do.

And better bring along

some medicines, too,

just in case.

l always carry them,

just in case.

Will, you tag along

here with Stacey.

Oh, Bob, you promised.

l know l did,

but not yet.

You're too young.

Coffeyville is too tough.

You're elected, Kid.

This job calls for

six of us.

You should've taken Red.

Oh, no.

He's too ambitious.

He wants to make

a reputation all

on his own in a hurry.

Kid, this Coffeyville deal

is really gonna

be something big.

Double bank holdup

in broad daylight!

More money than

you ever dreamed of

getting your hands on

in your whole life.

Why, they'll be

writing ballads about

us Daltons after this.

lt's bigger than anything

them James boys

ever dreamed up.

Just think of it!

Two banks at the same time.

After this one,

l'm going far away.

Argentina. No fooling.

Gonna buy me

a cattle ranch there.

MOORE:
There's a new world

for a man like me.

Nobody to know

l was ever an outlaw,

and no fear of somebody

taking a potshot at me

just to get a reputation

for himself.

Yes, sir, after this one,

l'm taking myself right off

to Argentina.

Bob, l don't think the Kid's

got the real picture

of Coffeyville yet.

This is really something.

Something me and Bob

has timed and timed.

Here's the way

she's gonna go, Kid.

We'll pull

out of here tonight

as soon as it gets dark.

At 8:
00 in the morning,

we'll be in the outskirts

of Coffeyville.

Bob's timed our entrance

to the very second.

Now, we split up

and enter town from

the opposite directions,

passing each other

on the main street

at exactly 8:
45.

Me and Grat and Big Jim,

we're riding your horses.

We tie up across from

the Coffeyville Bank.

Now you and Emmett

and Bitter Creek,

you're riding our horses.

You tie up across

from the Union Bank.

The bank opens for business

at 9:
00 sharp.

But the cashiers and

the rest of the help,

they gets there at 8:45.

All except

Mr. Vice President Jergens

of the Coffeyville Bank.

He gets there at 8:50.

regular as clockwork.

Now. Just when he goes

to unlock the door...

(WHlSTLlNG)

MAN:
Hey, Ed!

Hi, Joe.

Got a minute?

l'll be right with you.

Morning, fellows.

Don't get excited,

Mr. Jergens.

We're going in with you.

Get over there.

Sit down!

Let's see your hands!

All right, all of you,

come out of there.

Back in that corner!

Which one of you's

the head cashier?

CASHlER:
l am, sir.

Come on.

Open it!

You've got just

about 30 seconds!

Open that door

and walk in quietly.

All right, walk over

to the corner. Move!

Open up that safe.

l'm afraid

that's impossible.

That safe works

on a time lock,

it opens at 8:
55.

All right, we'll wait.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Who's that? Speak up!

Mr. Jergens.

Bank robbery!

Bank robbery!

Come on! Let's

get out of here!

Come on, you.

Move out straight

down the street and

nobody's gonna get hurt.

Come on, move!

(GUN FlRlNG)

Come on.

They're still

at the bank.

Get on back, Bob!

(GROANS)

l can't make it, kids!

Get going.

(GUNS FlRlNG)

What do you know?

lt's Bob Dalton.

(GUN FlRlNG)

(NElGHlNG)

Hi, Kid.

Hello, Stacey.

Kid!

My brothers!

All of them?

ROSE:
Bitter!

What's the matter?

lt ain't much, honey.

Why didn't you

say something?

What'd you want me

to do, Bill?

Stay in Coffeyville

and get it bandaged?

Rose, you sure you

don't want me to...

No, Stacey.

Not with Bitter Creek.

Hang on, honey.

Not a sign or smell of them,

despite all these reports.

Everybody's hunting

for them here

around the Five Nations

lndian Territory,

down near lngalls.

Well, maybe the Daltons

figured it that way

and decided to cross us up

around here.

Let's see, they moved

south from Kansas

up here, and west,

that's sparsely settled

country there,

just a few ranchers.

Hey, l know one or two

cattlemen there.

One of them might be

interesting to talk to.

l'll go with you, Marshal.

At least

my lndependence deal

worked out all right.

We got the cash.

All right.

So now we're gonna go

right back to Coffeyville

and stick up them two banks.

This time, if the citizens

give us any trouble,

we're gonna shoot up

the whole town.

Red, you're crazy.

Don't you tell me.

l wouldn't go through that

Coffeyville thing again for

all the gold in Kansas.

What's the matter, Kid?

Afraid?

No.

Well, then, l think you'd

better give us a reason.

l don't believe in

unnecessary killing.

Oh! He don't believe in

unnecessary killings!

(CHUCKLlNG) Well, now,

ain't that too bad?

And there'd be plenty

of it on both sides

if we went back there.

You coming with me?

Bill's right.

lf we went back there,

they'd shoot us to pieces!

l'm agreeing

with the Kid.

So am l.

Me, too.

Me, too.

Well, Red, speaking as

an innocent bystander,

l'd say you've

been overruled.

All right.

All right! Maybe we should

just throw away our guns

altogether.

Maybe we should

just forget that

the law is chasing us.

Well, let me

tell you something.

From now on,

l'm making all the rules.

l got a rule of my own
