Then he goes to Little Bill's body and pokes around in the
pockets and pulls out some shells for the Spencer.
He shoves those in his pocket and he goes to the bar and
picks up the bottle of whiskey and walks over to the door.
Standing to one side, he kicks it open. Then he sets down
the rifle and the bottle and starts to reload the Schofield
and while he loads it he shouts out the door.
MUNNY:
I'm comin' outta here... an' any
f***er I see out there, I'm gonna
kill him... an' any f***er takes a
shot at me, I ain't just gonna kill
him, but I'm gonna kill his wife an'
all his friends an' burn his f***ing
house, hear?
The pistol is loaded and Munny sticks it in his belt and he
takes a long pull on the whiskey bottle and wipes the dribble
from his chin. Then he picks up the rifle in the other hand
and looks out the door.
EXT. MAIN STREET/GREELY'S - NIGHT
The street and it is dark and quiet, shadowy buildings, the
knot of tethered horses, a couple of torches stuck in the
ground sputtering.
MUNNY'S VOICE (O.S.)
Nobody better shoot on account of
I'm as mean as I say... maybe meaner.
I am a damn badman an' you will not
find a worse one in hell.
And Munny steps out the door warily, and looks around and
all he sees are the shadowy buildings and all he hears are
his own boots on the wooden porch. Glancing nervously at the
dark buildings' blank stares he walks past the upright coffin
where the waxy face of Ned stares gruesomely in the light of
the flickering torch and he gives it a glance, wanting to
say he's sorry, but the idea is ludicrous and he steps off
the porch and walks toward the white mare.
EXT. ALLEYWAY - NIGHT
WW Beauchamp and Charley Hecker and Germany Joe crouched in
the alleyway between two buildings across the street and
Charley has a rifle and they can see Munny mounting his horse.
GERMANY JOE:
(whispering)
Go ahead, shoot him.
Charley just shakes his head and offers the rifle to Germany
Joe. And Germany Joe doesn't want it.
GERMANY JOE:
I endt no dehpoody.
WW is watching Munny's unbelievably awkward and prolonged
mounting procedure and he can't believe it, he can't believe
what the Old West is like and it shows on his face.
EXT. MAIN STREET - NIGHT
Munny riding down the dark, lonely street at a trot and he
starts to shout at the top of his lungs.
MUNNY:
You boys better bury old Ned right...
and you better not carve up nor
otherwise harm no whores... or I
will come back an' kill more
sonsabitches, hear?
And there are tears running down Munny's cheeks.
EXT. SOD HUT - DAY
DAYLIGHT and Penny sweeping in the doorway of Munny's sod
hut in Kansas. She is intent on her work until she hears the
snort of a horse and looks up and her jaw drops, and her
face lights up like the sun itself and, dropping the broom,
she dashes toward him.
VIEW ON MUNNY:
Munny walking across the field, leading the mare. He is
covered with dust and heavily stubbled from the trip. Penny
dashes up to him and throws her arms around him and he is
overjoyed but he doesn't have any way to express it except
through awkwardness and embarrassment.
MUNNY:
(fondly)
Ain't you a lady!
And he puts his arm around her and they walk toward the house.
EXT. HOG PENS - DAY
VIEW ON WILL:
Working in the hog pens in back, concentrating on the job.
MUNNY:
Place looks good.
And Will whirls around and sees Munny standing there beside
the house and his first instinct is to run to him and then
he remembers his dignity and stands there like a man, but
the grin is liable to break his face.
WILL:
Hullo, paw.
MUNNY:
I guess you lost some hogs to the
fever.
WILL:
Three.
MUNNY:
Three? That ain't bad considerin'.
Will is pissing in his pants with pride and pleasure and he
joins his father and they walk around the house together.
WILL:
That fella come by... Tom.
MUNNY:
(stopping)
Tom?
WILL:
The one you rode out after... the
one that had the pistol...
MUNNY:
The Kid, yeah...
WILL:
Only he wasn't carryin' no pistol
this time.
INT. SHED - DAY
Will and Munny in the shed and Will is digging deep into a
huge pile of straw.
MUNNY:
(worried)
He say anythin'... The Kid... ?
WILL:
(digging)
Tom? Only how... how if you didn't...
didn't come back in a week...
(upset)
how we was to take half the money to
Sally an' say you was...
MUNNY:
(gently)
Well, I come back, didn't I?
And Will has exposed the saddle bags and Munny moves in and
opens them and gold coins and wads of bills spill out.
WILL:
(upset)
Did you... did you... ?
MUNNY:
(counting)
Did I what?
WILL:
All that money... I mean... did
you...?
MUNNY:
(counting)
Steal it? Naw, I didn't steal it.
WILL:
No... I meant...
MUNNY:
(turning)
What?
WILL:
K-k-kill somebody?
MUNNY:
Who said that?
WILL:
N-nobody... only you took your shotgun
an' that pistol an'...
MUNNY:
(bothered, putting
his arm around Will's
shoulders)
Before I met your maw, God rest her
soul, it used to be I was kinda...
wicked... drinkin' spirits an' gettin'
into scrapes an' all. Only she made
me see the error of my ways an'... I
ain't like I was no more.
WILL:
(relieved)
I guess you didn't kill nobody then.
MUNNY:
(it is an effort)
Naw, son, I didn't kill nobody.
EXT. GRAVE - DAY
The grave of Claudia under the trees and Munny walks up to
it and maybe we hear music or maybe just the wind, but the
words begin to crawl across the screen, supered.
WRITTEN WORDS:
They were married in St. Louis in
1B70 and they traveled North to Kansas
where he engaged in farming and swine
husbandry. She bore him two children
in the eight years of their marriage
and when she died, it was not at his
hands as her mother might have
expected, but of smallpox.
VIEW ON MUNNY:
We are looking at him by now and there is nothing easy on
his face, no big emotions, he is just looking at the grave.
WRITTEN WORDS:
Some years later, Mrs. Ansonia
Feathers made the arduous journey to
Hodgeman County to visit the last
resting place of her only daughter.
VIEW ON THE GRAVE
We are looking at the stone now and the words continue.
WRITTEN WORDS:
William Munny had long since sold
the place and disappeared with the
children... some said to San Francisco
where it was rumored he prospered as
a dry goods merchant under a different
name.
CLOSE ON THE EYES OF WILLIAM MUNNY
The eyes of the husband and the pig-farmer and the man who
shot down five men in the Big Whiskey saloon.
WRITTEN WORDS:
And there was nothing on the stone
to explain to Mrs. Feathers why her
only daughter had married a known
thief and murderer, a man of
notoriously vicious and intemperate
disposition.
