The Outlaw Page #3

bring in all this hired help.

I only did that to keep Billy

from putting up a fight...

so I wouldn't have to kill him.

Do you stuff birds too?

You're making a big mistake...

turning on an old friend,

all because of a little snip...

who's never given anybody nothing

except the back of his hand.

Speaking of hands...

Come on. Let's get out of here

before this hothead makes us plug him.

He ain't gonna run me

out of town.

If you wanna hold the fort while

I ride off on your little horse...

it's all right with me.

Well, since you put it that way.

Go ahead, son.

Take it easy, Pat.

Doc, this finishes you and me

for good and all.

I'm sorry.

- Can you get up, son?

- I don't know.

- Can you make it to the horse?

- I think so.

Did you see what that little horse did,

pulling me out like that?

He's a regular bird dog.

I gotta get you under cover some place.

I'm all right.

Charlie, you better stay here

and have a look around town.

That kid's got a bullet in him.

He ain't going far. Let's go.

Who's that?

Quit that yelling.

Get these horses out of sight.

This is Billy the Kid.

He got a bad one on the left side...

but the bullet didn't hit anything vital

and it came out in the back.

Don't move him at all

or the bleeding will start again.

I guess you better

cut his clothes off.

Put a bandage on the wound

and see that it's always moist.

Keep him warm and dry.

If he gets a chill, he's a goner.

If he goes out of his head,

tie him down.

The neighbors hear him yelling,

tell them your aunt has smallpox.

That'll keep them away.

I guess that's all.

Now do your best for this boy.

If I can't come back,

I'll send word where I am.

And Billy can bring you along.

Shoo, shoo!

Face like a baby.

He's so hot.

He's no hotter

than your brother Julio was.

He's soaking wet again.

Get me some sheets,

Aunt Guadalupe.

Get them yourself.

- What's the matter with you?

- I wouldn't lift a finger for him.

What's the matter?

- Been lookin' for him around here.

- Well, ain't that too bad.

Chico, what's the matter with you?

He smells the blood.

He was just getting ready

to peck his eyes out.

You stay out of here.

- Your name McDonald?

- What do you wanna know for?

Why don't you wanna tell me?

- Yes, that's my name. Why?

- Your father's name is...

Woodruff. Charlie Woodruff.

I used to work for him

when he was Tom Motsacoro.

Oh, yes. I guess I was

a little girl then.

- Charlie!

- Aunt Guadalupe!

- How you been?

- Very well. Thank you.

You're getting fat as a pig.

- What are you doing up here?

- I've been working with the sheriff.

We're looking for Billy the Kid.

You get out of here!

- Come in and sit down.

- Some other time.

I'll drop in

the first chance I get.

- What's wrong with that bird?

- Nothing.

I have a hen sitting under the bed

and he likes to peck at her.

- Want me to get him out of there?

- No. Everything's all upset in there.

We just got up.

Good-bye. I'm glad to have seen you.

Same here.

So long, Aunt Guadalupe.

- I'll walk down a ways with you.

- No, you won't. Lunch is all ready.

Good-bye.

I'll fix you.

How's Billy?

Looks like he's having a chill.

A chill?

Where are you?

Right here.

- Don't go away.

- I won't.

- I'm so cold.

- I'll get you warm.

- Don't go away.

- I'll only be a minute.

How can you stop

a thing like this?

- You're mad at me.

- No.

- Yes, you are.

- No, I'm not.

- Why do you hide from me?

- I'll be right back.

- Where's that bottle of whiskey?

- I finished it.

The time I had that bad cough.

I fired those hot stones for Julio,

but it was just the same.

He shook like a leaf

till he died.

You get out of here

and shut the door.

What?

Just get out of here.

Have you gone crazy?

You can bring the minister tomorrow

if it'll make you feel better about it.

Now get out.

You're not gonna die.

I'll get you warm.

Well, Red, you can't stand

this pace much longer.

I guess I'll just have to

slow those boys down a little.

None of my affair, but we crossed

the county line ten minutes ago.

That's right, Swanson.

It's none of your affair.

Break up!

Scatter for those rocks!

You look different today.

You look better.

Say, is that you?

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Well, I've been trying

to figure this out.

- How'd I get here?

- Doc brought you.

Oh. Are you Doc's girl?

What do you know about that.

Be careful your wound.

You'll hurt yourself.

That's right. I remember now.

- I caught one yesterday, didn't I?

- Yesterday?

It was a month ago.

You've been terribly sick.

A month? That's a long time.

- How's Red?

- Red?

- Have you been takin' good care of him?

- Who's Red?

Didn't Doc leave my horse here?

Well, I'll swear. I didn't think

he'd do a thing like that.

Behind my back too.

Is he all right again?

Say, who's this old lollipop?

It's my Aunt Guadalupe.

Qu tal? Cmo est?

You haven't got a ham sandwich

on you?

You hungry? I don't think we have

anything cooked beside some beans.

That'll do for a starter,

eh, lollipop?

Say, you don't talk

like a sick man.

Who said I was?

What does that "lollipop" mean?

Oh, something sweet.

Sweet?

Sweet, like candy.

You know, dulce.

Is that a fact?

Where are you going?

Oh, to see if I can find

a fresh egg or two.

- How do you feel?

- Fine. When do we eat?

- You just had lunch about an hour ago.

- Honest?

Will you bring me my clothes?

I want to have a look around.

What for?

I can't spend the rest of my life

in bed.

Anyway, I want to see

if I can find my ring.

Your ring?

Yeah. I had a ring on this finger

and it's gone.

I've been worried about it.

You mustn't be upset

about a thing like that.

You can get another one,

can't you?

This one's been

kind of lucky for me.

It belonged to a fellow who was

supposed to have had a charmed life...

as long as he kept it

on his finger.

Then how did you get it?

Did you kill him?

No. Somebody else did that.

Then the ring wasn't so lucky

for him after all, was it?

Well, nothing happened to him until

he took it off to wash his hands.

No, you better not get up

till tomorrow.

- You said that yesterday.

- You're not strong enough yet.

Who says I'm not?

Billy, you mustn't.

You'll hurt yourself.

Then why don't you quit

wrestling with me?

But you've been so sick.

You're not well enough. You're not...

Rio!

Come on. I want you to go

down to the store with me.

I have some washing to do.

You've got all afternoon to do it.

Come on.

- I have to fix my hair first.

- All right, hurry up then.

- Why do you have to go with her?

- I better.

What if somebody should come by...

like that deputy sheriff friend

of yours the other day?

Yes, that's right.

I'll go tell Aunt Guadalupe.

- Who is it?

- It's me, Doc.

Hurry up!

Open this door here.

Coming.

Hello, Doc.

Glad to see you, Doc!

You'd never know it. I thought

I'd have to break the door down.

It's the rain, Doc.

I couldn't hear a thing, Doc.
