- No. No.

Please, don't shoot him.

What are you caterwauling about, Vern?

Get out of the way

before I put one into you.

You might as well. He's all I got. No...

He's all I have. He's all I have.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Shoot me.

Shoot me. Yes, shoot me.

- Praise the Lord.

- Get out! Get that son of a b*tch away.

- Vern, will you get away?

- I will. You betcha.

- I'm sorry, Tom.

- What for?

For everything.

Your friends, are they...

Yeah.

If...

What were you gonna do? Just take off?

Yes.

What'd you expect?

To see you, for one thing.

- Did you think I'd be above ground?

- Well, of course.

- Why "of course"?

- Because I just can't imagine you dead.

My God, are you gonna make me say it?

Tom!

You've just about done it, huh?

Yeah.

Well, I think I've found

a buyer for the ranch.

I'm going into Absaroka now

to see about it and find a place for Vern.

Well...

I'm glad.

I don't wanna spend the rest of my life

tryin' to get back at somebody.

Why'd you say that?

No reason.

Well, hell, neither do I.

Where do you think you'll be...

in about six months?

Well, if I was to guess,

I'd say north of the breaks.

There's the Little Rockies up there.

A lot of little valleys are supposed

to have water year round.

Sounds like a real good guess.
