The Spoilers Page #6

---

I thought I had you, glennister.

But I don't give up so easily.

A trip to Seattle might be good

for you before I find the evidence.

Come on, men.

Mr glennister, I can't get

this black stuff off y'all's collar.

Oh, I didn't know y'all had company.

Alright, he's yours.

So Wheaton sailed, eh?

You're a blundering idiot, Struve!

A confounded, blundering idiot!

What more could I do?

- You could've seen what'd happen.

You could've sent a deputy

on the boat!

But ya didn't!

Now he'd gone! Now it's all finished!

You're a confounded, blundering idiot!

Perhaps we should check out now?

- Check out?

Once Wheaton tells his story

and they investigate your record,

47 marshals will be here

and you'll end up in prison.

Perhaps you're right.

I got some news, Helen.

That big, handsome lad of yours

looks quite natural behind bars.

Judge, quite a mob of miners

down at the jail.

You may have to send for those

soldiers yet. - I can't do that!

I'm worried about Wheaton escaping.

We should lose no time getting out.

Take it easy, Judge.

Plenty of time to line our pokes.

It'll be 3 months

before Wheaton gets back.

What's funny about that, baby?

- Nothing.

My, we're a jolly crew, aren't we?

- Careful now, Helen.

It's so much more fun

making money the way we do,

instead of slaving for it like miners.

I'm not sure I like your attitude.

You've got a distorted viewpoint.

Brought about by what is know as

"the miracle of love".

Tell us about what a nice community

it was before we came and spoiled it.

Make it sound as sloppy as you want.

But that's what we are:

a cheap lot of spoilers!

Now that's enough, Helen!

No more of this sentimental taffy.

But suppose the miners do revolt?

They blew out the front of the bank.

They could do the same to the jail

and free glennister before the trial.

Perhaps you won't have to

bring him to trial.

What do you mean?

That'd be carrying things

a bit too far.

We've never had to resort

to anything like like murder.

What do you want here?

- Picking a nice time to leave town.

Why shouldn't I go now? I have things

I want to get in Seattle.

You paid Captain Toombs triple fare

for passage on a leaky old freighter?

Who told you that? - Most men who

patronize my place are my friends.

Captain Toombs is one of them.

Ooes that tell you anything?

I fail to see why it should.

If I wanted him to make room

for a friend of mine, he'd do it.

And if I should want him to cancel

a passage, he'd do that too.

- So what?

What are you running away from?

I'm not running away.

- You're lying!

You've finished your job. You helped

those cheap crooks put Roy in jail.

And now you're going to sneak away.

- It isn't so!

Why should I want to hurt him? I

- You what?

Why did you come here?

What is it to you if I leave?

Isn't it plain why I want to go?

I can't stay here and see him

You're in love with him, aren't you?

- No!

Well, what if I am?

It's you he wants, if that's what you

wanted to find out. Now please go!

But if you're in love with him,

why are you skipping out?

A woman doesn't run out

on the man she loves.

I can't stay and see him

I can't stay here, that's all.

You can't stay and see him what?

They've got a plan for the trial!

- There isn't going to be any trial.

There isn't going to be?

They're gonna turn him loose,

let him escape?

How are they gonna do it?

When the deputy brings him supper,

he's gonna let him out the back way.

Outside they're gonna shoot him down?

- I fought them, but what could I do?

Nothing. You're not the type.

All you can do is run away.

- What can I do to help?

Keep your mouth closed.

If you do,

I'll see that you get on that boat.

If you don't,

you'll still leave town.

But after I'm through with ya.

Why should I worry about what

they're going to do to glennister?

So they'll shoot him

in the back. What of it?

You know how I feel about you.

It's you or nobody, Cherry.

Why should I help him?

Now listen, Bronco.

For you, it's a matter of

no one else will do, isn't it?

That's the way I feel about him.

No one else will do.

Understand?

I'll make it five.

- I'll see them. I've got two short.

Three jacks. - That cleans me.

I better go on with my chores.

A little early for their supper.

- I gotta feed 'em sometime.

Excuse me, likem see Chinese consul.

How many times I gotta tell ya?

The next consul is in Seattle!

Or maybe you'd like to see him?

- You unlock door, I go Seattle.

Ya talk like a foreigner!

glennister, pass me that tray.

Take a look out in the office

and see what Thompson's doing.

He's standing at the door, why?

I made a deal with Oextry. I bring

your supper, and you let me have it.

Then you beat it out the back way.

I'll leave the door open.

I'm terribly sorry, Miss Malotte.

Mr Skinner seems to be carrying

an extra load tonight.

What's the trouble, Cherry?

Has he been bothering the customers?

Can't carry it anymore, Skinner?

Carry it anymore?

How dare you, sir!

I shall prove the contrary

by retiring to my customary retreat,

unassisted.

My apologies to you, Miss Malotte.

Hello, Skinner.

good evening, Mr glennister!

Isn't putting drunks in jail

a little out of your line, Cherry?

I had an idea you might

let me see a certain friend of mine.

It'd mean my job if I let ya in.

Court's orders.

They certainly

put a limit on a man, don't they?

Easy on the punch.

Not this way! It's a trick!

get out the front!

Oex is outside.

get into hiding until Wheaton's back.

Tonight we're taking back our mine,

and then it's every man for himself.

Wait up for me, will ya, sport?

Apparently everything came off

on schedule. - Yeah, so it seems.

But it's still a nasty business.

You better sip a warm lemonade before

you break out in righteousness.

I think I will.

go down to the jail

and let out a howl about negligence.

Mr McNamara?

You probably heard what happened?

- I heard a few shots.

He tried to get away and they

shot him. - Shot who? - glennister.

Bronco and I were taking

Mr Skinner to jail.

We were there when he

Easy. Perhaps you'd better come in

and rest a moment.

No, I'd rather go to my place.

Would you?

- Sure.

Miss Cherry, I'm so glad to see you.

There was a big shootin' at the jail.

Yes, we know all about it.

- You knows all about it?

Somebody get shot?

- glennister.

Mr glennister? Lordy sakes!

get some brandy for Idabelle.

In the kitchen.

Wake up, Idabelle.

Oo you hear me?

- Who put out them lights?

Nothing happened to Mr glennister.

But I have to keep McNamara here.

I don't want to be alone with him.

Now close your eyes!

Thanks.

Come on, Idabelle, have a little sip.

How'd I get back here in georgia?

good mornin' folks!

Now you'll be alright. - Ain't there

something softer to lay on?

Would you help me put her up here?

She thought the world of glennister.

Oh, Mr glennister!

- Now, now. Have another sip.

I'd feel better once I gets me on that
