exactly like you gave it to him.

Because there's a thousand

cheap squirts like you waiting right now

for the chance to kill

the man that killed Jimmie Ringo.

But it ain't gonna be here, sonny.

Not in my territory. So get going now.

Get killed somewhere else.

And that's just the beginning, tough boy.

I'm awful sorry but there ain't no more room.

Ain't another seat left in the place.

- Is Mark inside?

- Yes, ma'am. He's inside.

Would you tell him

Mrs Ringo would like to see him?

- Mrs Jimmie Ringo?

- Mrs Jimmie Ringo.

And his boy.

Yes, ma'am, Mrs Ringo.

Come on in, Peggy.
