The Left Handed Gun Page #4

Look at that. You see that?

What does it say?

"Outlaw youth, dead."

Keep it for a souvenir.

I ain't dead no more. I come awake.

No, Billy, don't go after them.

They had me dead. That

amnesty, that's for them.

For Moon and Hill and Grant.

They walk around, I'm buried.

They put dimes in my eyes.

Stop it.

You're shaking like a pony.

Here, you'll catch cold.

No, I'll catch fire.

I got it back. My hand, my arm.

And no one ever gonna

take it away from me.

I'm a-coming to life.

You got a fever.

- Come with me.

- No.

I don't stop now. No more stop.

- I have to go back inside.

- Go.

Go, go, go.

Stay here. They'll kill you.

They've been killing me.

Now I don't wait. I go first.

What are you going to do?

I don't run, I don't

hide. I go where I want.

I do what I want.

Don't, Billy. Don't do that to me.

Don't look at me.

I'll get them, all

of them. I want you.

You're choking me. I can't breathe.

With me.

No.

Stay.

With you.

With you.

Don't do it, Billy.

No.

- With you.

- No.

- With you.

- No.

- No. No.

- With you.

Mr. Bonney.

Enchilada! I want an enchilada.

- Get up.

- I want an enchilada.

Go on, get in there. Get Tom.

Tom, you're drunk. Get up here.

Tom, get up here.

Get up here.

Tom! Now, loose that shoulder.

Now, hook. Hook and

draw. Hook and draw!

- My thumb is bleeding.

- Let it bleed!

Tom, hook and draw!

- Why? Why?

- We're gonna get Moon.

Hook and draw!

Moon.

Hey, Charley, come on.

Go on.

- Hey, boy.

- Yes, sir?

- Do you know a deputy named Moon?

- Yes, sir.

I want you to run down to his house...

...and tell him there's a U.S. Marshal

waiting for him at the sheriff's office.

Yes, sir.

- You go against government.

- Don't tell me.

We get even first, then

we do what they say.

- He's coming.

- Come on, sit down.

- Act like a deputy.

- Act like a deputy?

Where's your gun, deputy?

Pick it up.

U.S. Marshal don't shoot

a man without a fair draw.

Don't draw on me. Bonney, don't shoot.

What did you do to Tunstall, Moon?

Sheriff Brady gave the

orders. I didn't hit him.

I never hit him.

Bonney, don't shoot.

I didn't hit him. I never hit him.

You don't have to kill me, Bonney.

It's over and buried.

You see them amnesty posters?

You see them? You see

what the governor did?

Call anyone. Ask anyone.

No one here wants to hurt you, Bonney.

You don't want to hurt anyone here.

Let him go, Billy.

I swear to God, Bonney.

Bonney, no one here wants you boys.

Call anyone, ask anyone.

See if I don't tell you true.

Let him go, Billy. He

ain't worth shooting.

Get them out here. I

swear to God, Bonney.

Get them out here. You see? See?

See? See? See, nobody

wants to hurt you.

See? See, Bonney?

See, Bonney? Bonney.

You broke it, the

amnesty. You dumb jackass.

Dumb, dumb jackass.

Tom.

Come on in here.

Billy, look at this. They don't

let us get away with Moon, you hear?

Shirt half out.

- Where is Moon?

- He's buried.

Will you quit blowing

that like nothing happened?

They don't let us get

away with this one.

We broke a big law this time.

They put a government

price on our heads.

We got Moon, we gonna get Hill.

Not me. No, sir.

I don't go no more.

One more, it's all over.

What's wrong with restful?

Now, you tell me what's

wrong with restful?

Ain't nothing wrong with restful.

That's what we do.

Leave old Hill to rest.

You mean, let him be?

Leave him wait.

We gonna let old Hill set out

there and rest himself to death.

- See you?

- Sure, come on in.

Go on, sit down.

I'm Hill.

Moon is dead.

Bonney?

There goes the amnesty.

I talked to Judge Davis.

He said to get you.

- Me?

- He wants you for sheriff.

- I'm getting married, and the clothes...

- You're the best gun in the county.

- Oh, no, I don't want it.

- You fill in the wages yourself.

- You're hereby appointed with power...

- I don't want it, Hill.

Look, you killed Tunstall. Maybe

you got what's coming to you.

I went with them to arrest him.

I was part of it.

But I swear to God I

don't want killing...

...any more than you.

I used to see one of

these things and run.

- No.

- I got a wife too, Mr. Garrett.

- You gotta help me.

- Come on.

He's got me marked.

Brady, Morton, Moon and me.

- I don't want it.

- I can't run.

I need help.

Well, I'll help you all I can.

All except this.

Fourteen, 15, 16...

...17, 18, 19...

...20, 21, 22...

...23, 24, 25...

...26, 27, 28...

...29, 30.

Good.

Hey, Pat.

- Hey, let's see the new missus.

- Hello, Pat.

Billy, we heard about Moon.

I don't want you to

try anything. Anything.

Oh, Pat, now, we

come for your wedding.

- We would have come to the ceremony...

- No trouble. Understand?

No, we don't even get drunk.

Show him the present.

Made out of silver.

You can wear them tonight.

For the little woman.

Cost $ 7.

Well, say, I appreciate

this very much.

I really do. I'm very

grateful for her and myself.

What I'm trying to say is...

Hill.

I swear to you, Pat, I didn't

know. I didn't know he was here.

This is my wedding, Billy.

You try to start something,

I'll take it hard.

Well, we don't want no

trouble at your wedding, Pat.

Not here.

Well, later, then. Someplace else.

What you do is your business,

but this is my place.

This is my business here.

I won't do a thing, Pat.

We don't want no

trouble at your wedding.

Charley and Tom, they

don't want no trouble.

- No trouble.

- Right.

Give you my word.

Good.

Come on.

Bravo! Bravo.

He keeps looking at me.

- He gave me his word.

- He's got no word.

Hey, Billy, I got a pig full of wine.

What? Oh, stop.

Hey, come on, quit

that. Come on, quit it.

You're gonna get

everybody all wet. Quit it.

Hey, Billy. Billy, come on

and get your picture took.

Oh, no.

Come on, it don't hurt. He

clamps your head. Come on.

He put your head in the clamp.

Sit up on that table. Here.

Then, in half a minute,

an exact likeness.

Eyes, nose, ears, teeth,

everything. Like an oil painting.

You will hold this rifle.

It's not dangerous. The

bore is poured full of lead.

There's absolutely

no danger. Now, here.

Now... Now, all of you move back.

Now, you will remain

in a fixed position.

You want me?

I don't look for a fight.

I never set out to kill.

I set out to arrest the Englishman.

You ask Pat. Ask anyone.

I don't use a gun without

a man drawing on me.

You draw on me, I use it.

We're trying to take a picture.

Now, please, don't blink.

Look right at the camera

with a pleasant expression.

- Pat!

- Billy!

Billy.

Back up.

It is over. It is all over.

Hill, the last one.

But your word. Your word.

You said here, Pat.

Here's your wedding.

But he went out,

outside. It's all over.

Poor Tom.

My wedding.

It's here.

It's here.

Here. Here.

This wall, this street, this

town. I married all of it, all.

Look at my wife. Look at

her, look at our friends.

Look at those kids.

He begged me to help

him, and I said no.

He wanted me for

sheriff, and I said no.
