jewelry department

is way over here.

Now, what kind of jewelry?

Rings, engagement rings.

Of course.

Sure enough

must be spring.

You're the third

couple this week.

Now. Here you are.

Lover's knots, hearts

and forget-me-nots,

diamonds in every one.

Oh, this is

the one we want.

lsn't this beautiful,

darling?

Yes.

How much is that?

Sixty dollars, even.

Ain't you two

got more to do

than stand around

and stare at folks?

l've got more to do.

l'd like to know your name.

KlD:
l don't think

that's anyone's business,

including yours.

MAN:
l'm bound to

make it my business.

(LAUGHlNG)

Well, Johnny Adams,

are you in luck!

l just made a big,

fat, juicy deal!

And it means

a lot of money

in the bank for me.

And son,

you're gonna find me

the best father-in-law

a boy ever had!

Let me see that ring.

Well, honey,

that's beautiful!

Dad, the day's gonna come

when the Adams family

will own more cattle

than you ever

dreamed about.

That won't make me mad,

Johnny.

No, sir, you two kids

go right ahead

and be happy.

Excuse us.

They're gonna keep

a mighty sharp lookout

for anything, Kid.

l wouldn't be surprised.

So l wouldn't try anything.

lt's off, as of right now.

You're smart, Kid.

Maybe you'd better

ride with us.

lt'll look better.

Thanks. Thanks, Pat.

Wait a minute.

What about the ring?

lt's all yours.

Thank you.

He's young-enough

looking.

And too innocent.

Adams.

Johnny Adams.

Just to be on the safe side,

let's send a telegram

to the boss.

lf he wants to

alert everybody,

that's up to him.

We had Doolin in

the palm of our hands

at Boonesville,

and a couple of my stupid men

let him get away.

Well, here's the situation

as of right now.

Marshal Johnston

is around Pawnee.

McWilliams is moving in

from Seminole.

This wire from Sutton

just came in.

Says he's picked up

a warm trail

at Drumright.

He's maneuvering the Kid

so that he has to go to

Columbia.

l'd say that

looks good.

l'd like to think so.

Fact is we've worn out

a dozen posses already.

Just so we keep

the quarry in sight,

there's always a chance.

l got a feeling

this is the time.

This is the killing!

We ought to be hearing

from Rose pretty soon.

lt's getting pretty

tough on her, Bill.

Every place

we head for is

being watched.

Gotta hand it

to her, though.

Don't know what

we'd do without her.

Sure is a swell

gal to know.

Yeah, l'll bet she is.

What do you

wanna bet, Red?

Well, maybe a belly

full of bullets.

(GUNS FlRlNG)

There's about 10 of them, Kid.

They picked me off the rock.

l didn't even see them.

(GUNS FlRlNG)

(CHlLDREN GlGGLlNG)

(ALL LAUGHlNG)

All right, now. lt's

time for you children

to go to bed.

Hey, ain't you

forgetting something?

Mmm-hmm.

(KlSSES)

She's my little princess.

They're wonderful kids.

How's the farming,

Stacey?

Oh, cotton crop

failed this year.

Broom corn, sorghum crop,

they ain't doing so good

neither.

Well, there's nothing

that money won't cure.

We'll be leaving

something with you

when we go.

Look, you fellows

come by your money

the hardest way there is.

STACEY:
l can't

take it from you.

lf we want to

give you money,

you'll take it, Stacey.

Not out of my share

he ain't getting any.

lt's just like he says.

We come by our money

the hard way.

lf he don't want it,

he shouldn't have to

take it.

l'm in for a

piece of that.

What'll we make it,

Yeah, that's good.

All right by me.

Same here.

Like it or not,

you're in, Red.

STACEY:
Where you

fellas heading for?

Well, it looks like

Columbia, Stacey.

First, we're waiting

to pick up a message.

l sure do like

that little town.

Drink a little,

gamble a little,

boy, that's something.

l remember riding

through it that day

after we left the hideout.

Bob,

and Emmett, Grat.

WlLL:
They sure figured

they'd get back there again.

ROSE:
Now, you're sure

it's safe?

Of course it's safe.

Everybody here was

friendly with Bob Dalton.

They'll like the Kid, too.

No reason why not.

l've got plenty of room

in my hotel for everybody.

How big is

the Kid's outfit?

Five. Six, including me.

(CHUCKLES)

You tell him Lola Plummer

will give him

the key to the city.

Well, he ain't

much on ceremony,

but l'll tell him.

l thought you might like

a little more tea before

you go, Miss Rose.

No, thank you,

but l'll see you later.

Bye, ma'am, Charlie.

Bye.

$10,000 reward

is a lot of money,

ain't it, Jed?

Mr. Swanson?

Mr. Swanson it is.

Boy, they sure ain't

got no brass band out

to greet us!

Jed! Give yourself up!

SUTTON:
We've got

a crossfire on you,

lt's John Sutton.

What'd l once tell you?

Shut up!

SUTTON:
Get smart, Bill.

You're at the end

of your rope.

Why all the debate, Marshal?

l promise you

a fair trial, Kid!

l heard that once before.

Well, Bill, it looks like

we're gonna have to

come in and get you!

KlD:
Don't make any mistakes!

You know, this has got

a chance of getting

a little rough.

Hold it!

Man, l hope

they want trouble.

Rose, get down

and get inside.

KlD:
Thanks, John.

Now l guess you'll have

to come and get us.

Thanks.

lt wasn't me, Rose.

lt was Mrs. Plummer.

They all come here

in them wagons.

There ain't a saddle

horse among them.

Look, if you can make it

through the roundhouse,

the country opens up

behind it.

Kid, we got a chance!

Don't shoot!

(GUN FlRES)

Thanks for nothing.

You fool!

(GUNS FlRlNG)

(NElGHlNG)

Rose! Grab that switch

on the turntable!

(GUNS FlRlNG)

lf they ever get that

turntable into place,

we're licked.

l'll try to get on the

other side of the train.

(GUNS FlRlNG)

(BULLETS RlCOCHETlNG)

(WHlSTLE BLOWlNG)

On back, Red!

(GUNS FlRlNG)

Why, that lucky...

You're the lucky one!

He could've shot you

right between the eyes.

This place used to be

a lot of fun.

KlD:
That's right, Will.

l don't guess l ever brought

anybody any good luck.

l didn't mean that, Bill.

Oh, forget it.

Coffee?

No, thanks.

How do you

feel, Kid?

Same. lt ain't just this

anymore, Bitter.

(GUNS FlRlNG)

That's the signal!

CARRlE:
Hello, Bill.

l was so frightened, Bill.

She sure did a heap

of persuading,

getting me to

bring her up here.

Course, l was gonna

drop in on you anyway.

Thanks, Stacey.

Miss Carrie?

Let me take

a look at you.

Mmm-hmm.

He's all right.

Gonna be all right,

Miss Carrie.

Somebody did a mighty

fine job of fixing.

Shucks, Stacey, l been

a good fixer ever since

l was 1 2 years old.

That's all they

ever let me do.

Yeah?

Course, l guess

some of them things

you just can't fix.

lt's such a nice day.

Why are we all in here?

Especially now that

Bill has company.

Will?

Bill,

once before l asked

to talk to you straight.

This time l want

to level even more.

All right.

Go ahead and level.

l'm not a little

farm girl, Bill.

l've grown up with

your kind of men and

l've always hated them.

Until now.

Now that l've changed

my mind about that,

l've become selfish enough
