The Outlaw Page #7

Synopsis: Newly appointed sheriff Pat Garrett is pleased when his old friend Doc Holliday arrives in Lincoln, New Mexico on the stage. Doc is trailing his stolen horse, and it is discovered in the possession of Billy the Kid. In a surprising turnaround, Billy and Doc become friends. This causes the friendship between Doc and Pat to cool. The odd relationship between Doc and Billy grows stranger when Doc hides Billy at his girl, Rio's, place after Billy is shot. She falls for Billy, although he treats her very badly. Interaction between these four is played out against an Indian attack before a final showdown reduces the group's number.

Don't you realize

that's your whole trouble?

Don't you see that's what's gotten you

into all your fights?

You got more enemies than anybody

in this part of the country.

How do you expect to get along

with people...

when you think every man who holds

his hand out to you...

has a knife behind his back?

Son, I...

I just don't know what's going

to become of you.

Honest, I don't.

I didn't mean anything.

I'm sorry.

That's the spirit.

That's my boy.

Now give me those guns and clear out

of here, before it's too late.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

But I've had these guns

a long time.

I sure hate to let go of 'em.

I've been pretty patient with you.

Billy, my son...

it's your duty to give them up.

You owe it to yourself.

You ought to start a new life today.

Those guns are the badge

of your shame.

They represent everything

you must leave behind you.

Don't you realize that?

Don't you understand...

that if you're going to start

all over again...

your hands must be clean?

I guess you're right, Pat.

I never thought of it like that.

Thanks, Pat.

Billy, you don't know

what this means to me.

You'll never forget this day.

Good-bye, Pat.

Why do you say that?

Why shouldn't I?

Why should you?

You ain't goin' anywhere.

I took the firing pins

out of those guns.

Why you...

Nothing would make me happier

than for you to keep coming.

Is that one of your own guns?

It sure looks like it.

How did you get it?

You dirty little cheat.

You switched those guns on me.

Of all the dirty, rotten tricks...

I didn't mean to, Pat.

Honest, I didn't.

They must've gotten mixed up

while I was playin' with 'em.

Thanks.

I left my guns right there.

What for?

Don't you have to show them to everybody

to make them believe your story?

You see, I have an idea...

that you'd rather give Doc the credit

for doing you up like this.

Because I think you'd rather be dead

than have people know...

that Billy the Kid did this to ya.

Good-bye, Pat.

You don't wanna go off

without your canteens, do you?

- Did you fill 'em up for me?

- Yes.
