Get out of here!

I hear the Daltons stuck up

number four last night.

Yeah, but it'll take more than

them boys to slow me down.

All right.

You'd better get ready.

- Think you can make it, Emmett?

- Don't worry about me. I'm all right.

All right. You and Grat

Take the other side. Go on!

Come on! Huh!

You ready?

Now, you take that one

and I'll take this one.

- All right.

- Now, Emmett, you keep your back to that door...

and don't you take no sass

off of nobody.

Now, do it. Go on.

All right, everybody! Reach! Reach!

Come on. You take the engine.

I can handle this.

Start opening that safe.

"Daltons believed operating

with Dulin gang.

"Posses search countryside

as former Dalton hideout discovered.

"Daltons kill express messenger

in another daring train robbery.

State offers $ 15,000 reward

for capture of Daltons."

Gets worse every day.

I don't think I'll ever

quite understand it.

The family we knew-

what's happened to it?

We can't go on like this, Julie.

No matter what happens to Bob,

we have our own lives to live.

- Tomorrow, we're going to be married.

- Oh, Tod, darling, we can't.

Not till we've told him.

Hey, Sheriff, think they might

be hiding out here in Oklahoma?

In this state? I wish they was.

We'd soon corral 'em.

Well, it's too bad they ain't. Sure put a

feather in your cap if you could catch 'em...

now that election's coming up.

- Wouldn't do no harm.

- Sheriff! Sheriff! Sheriff!

- They're here!

- Who's here?

- In Pete's Caf!

- Who's in Pete's Caf?

- The Daltons.

- Oh.

- Oh, in-in Pete's?

- Yeah.

Well, well, we've gotta do

something about it!

Here. Get everybody in town! Surround

the place! Tell them to bring their guns!

- Get your gun. I'll get mine.

- Let's go!

So I says to myself, says I...

them Daltons might never come around

these parts, and then again, they might.

And if they should,

I'm one fella that's prepared for them.

Now, suppose they come here

like you fellas did.

You're sittin' around eatin' your vittles,

and you pay no attention to me.

And I'm putterin' around here

with my salt and pepper.

Come up like that. I gotcha.

What could you do?

Oh. I see.

Nice balance. One like

you used to have, Emmett.

- No, mine had a longer barrel. - My

granddaddy said it was the best-shoot-

Did you say "Emmett"?

Grat.

Bob.

Oh, excuse me. This is Clem Wilson.

He's probably new to you.

- How are ya?

- I never heard of him.

Funny, me talkin'

about you fellas like that...

and here you are

right in my own place.

Nobody'll believe me.

They say I'm the biggest liar

in this town.

- Here.

- No, no. Keep it. It's no good anyhow.

Will you have a piece of pie

or something?

Have a lot of pie.

They're free.

Thanks very much.

Come on, everybody- Ow!

Get your guns! They got the Daltons

cornered in Pete's Restaurant!

They got the Daltons cornered!

Come on!

Ain't you gonna help 'em, honey?

I sure am!

All right, you Daltons!

Come out with your hands up!

Take a look in the back!

- What's all the shootin' about?

- Dalton boys down at the rest-

Is that so?

Hyah! Get out of here!

Not a chance out the back way.

All right. All right.

Looks like you joined up with us

at the wrong time, Clem.

Yeah. Don't it?

- Ho! Hey, dag-blame it!

Now, watch where your shootin'!

Get that stagecoach out of the way!

The Daltons are in there!

Well, I'm out here, and it ain't

gonna do them Daltons no good...

if you shoot one of my six horses!

- Well, get out of there, I tell ya!

- I'll get out of here and I'll stop it!

Quit shootin'!

And that goes for you in there too!

Good old Ozark.

Come on! Hurry! Let's go.

- Get 'em out of there, I tell ya.

- Can't you see my horses are all nervous...

and you're a-shootin?

They cost $50 apiece!

Now, stop it and get out of there!

And you get out too!

You stop it in there!

Well, I think they're all ready now.

Hyah! Get out of here!

Hold your fire.

I guess we got 'em.

Any of you Daltons still alive,

come out with your hands up!

- What's the matter? They all dead?

- Dead?

They looked mighty lively

climbin' in that stagecoach.

What? Get your horses, men!

And they didn't pay for nothin' neither.

- Nice goin', Ozark.

- Hyah!

- Come on!

- Hyah!

Hey, Ozark.

Look what I brought ya.

Oh, thanks, Grat!

Mmm! Lemon too!

- Whoa!

- No! Come on, come on, Ozark!

- It was my pie!

- All right. Come on. Let it go!

Oh, that's thanks for ya.

It was good too!

Hey, here they come!

Never saw anybody like you, Bob!

Oh, come on, will ya?

Wait a minute. We're not

getting anywhere with this.

We'll get rid of the coach. Come on.

Hey, hurry up!

They're gettin' closer!

Hey, Bob!

Hey, what about me?

I ain't no butterfly!

Bob!

Grat! Clem! Somebody gonna

get me off of here?

Come on, boy!

- How are we doin'?

- Not so good!

Giddy-up! Giddy-up!

If we don't get some faster horses

pretty soon, we're gonna have company.

What about an iron horse?

- Looks like we lost 'em.

- Yeah.

- Close, though, wasn't it?

- We're safe enough now.

Top of this car

fits me a lot better...

than that harness horse

I was just astride of.

Now that we're rid of those deputies, what

do you say we make this train pay dividends?

- No sense passing on that.

- Take a look, Emmett.

Get away from here, quick!

Listen. Did you hear

something on the roof?

Probably one of them Daltons

up there ropin' a calf.

If this is a new game

we're playin', I don't like it.

- What's the matter with you?

- We gotta get off this train. It's loaded with deputies.

There must be a hundred or more in those

coaches back there, and look up there.

Hey, there must be something

pretty valuable aboard.

Yeah. They even brought their horses along

to chase us with when we take it.

Looks interesting.

Let's have a quick look. Come on.

Those Daltons'd be surprised

if they stuck up this train.

Aw, they ain't within a hundred

miles of here. Go on. Deal.

Who is it?

Deputy Smith.

All right. Come on. Freeze.

Drop 'em. Come on. Come on.

All right. Get over there.

Get over there.

Come on. Get 'em up.

Lay on the floor now.

All of you.

Fella in town told me the Daltons

had been seen way out in California.

Bet four bits.

Just a waste of time

getting us to guard this train.

I'll raise you a buck.

Give me a hand with this thing.

All right. Toss it out now.

All right. The party's over.

Come on, now. Outside.

- All right. Come on. Let's jump.

- Wait a minute.

- Why not take the horses?

- Why not?

- I want the pretty one.

- Why?

Well, you made me lose

my lemon pie, didn't you?

- Go on!

- Watch out for that first step!

All right! Go on!

What are you waiting for?

- Hey, wait a minute! Look! Look!

- What is it?

I'd have sworn that was

Grat Dalton we just passed.

Grat Dalton?

Hey, wait a minute! Look!

There goes another one!

- Looked like Emmett.

- Emmett? Emmett?

Will you stop seeing outlaws

and let us finish this game?
