The Westerner Page #6

How much are tickets?

$2 apiece, all over the house.

First come, first served.

- How many seats in the house?

- Four hundred.

- I'll take them.

- How many?

All of them.

Much obliged.

Let me have two tickets.

If I was you, Judge, I wouldn't set

foot in Fort Davis to see Adam and Eve.

Me, either.

A deputy's star

makes the finest kind of a target.

How you know you're not heading into a trap?

Sure looking for trouble,

going over to Fort Davis.

Taking an awful chance, Judge.

Them hombres just waiting down there for you.

Why, you pack of yellow

bellies, give me them tickets.

You mean, you're going to Fort Davis alone?

Not by a jugful, I ain't.

You're all going with me as a guard of honor,

right up to the opera house,

but I'm going in alone.

I don't want nobody in there with me no how.

I ain't sharing the Jersey Lily with no one.

Now, come on, we got a

day's ride ahead of us.

I'm going to dress, and you

fellows proud yourselves up a bit.

Chickenfoot, my sword.

I ain't wore this uniform since Chickamauga,

but it still fits right smart.

Bean and his men are

coming! Get off the street!

Bean and his men are coming!

Bean's coming! Bean's coming!

Hey, look!

They must have heard I was coming.

All right, boys, take your places.

Hey, this is the stage entrance.

Now, remember, I want strict

privacy all during the show.

You'll get it.

Third seat in.

- Pardon, sir, your seat is back here.

- No, it ain't. It's right here.

Say, when does Miss Langtry go on the play?

Right after the curtain.

She's about to go up now, sir.

- Go up?

- The curtain, sir.

Now?

Yes, now.

Now.

Don't make a move, Judge.

I'm coming down to get you.

Come shooting.

- The war's on.

- Yeah.

Wish I was in there to see that show.

- I bet the judge is having a good time.

- Yeah.

Hey!

Let's you and me stand up and shoot it out.

That suits me, Judge.

Put up your gun. We'll draw.

All right.

- Ready?

- Yeah.

Now, you see what you done?

You stopped the show.

I was going to see Lily.

Now it's too late.

No, it isn't, Judge.

She's back there now, waiting to see you.

What?

She knows all about you,

Judge. She wants to meet you.

She told me so herself.

Come on, let's go back and see her.

My hat.

Where's Miss Langtry?

Put me down. I can walk.

Put me down, I tell you. That's my ruling.

Miss Langtry, I'd like to present

an old admirer. Judge Roy Bean.

I'm pleased to meet you.

Cole, come here quick!

Look!

See, what did I tell

you? They're coming back.

Wagons by the score.

It's the promised land.

Jane Ellen,

someday, Texas is going to be

the biggest and the finest...
