There are 2460 dollars.

- All right, John.

- Thanks Sat I'm proud.

Sign here, please.

Everybody quiet!

No one moves.

Well, close.

Take the jewelry.

Relax, it's over.

You, the men go out from here.

Come on, move.

I owe you a debt of gratitude.

All of us.

We're

grateful.

- I am Sam McCoy.

- I know. I heard your speech.

- My name is Wyatt Earp.

- Nice to meet you.

Ladies, I present

Wyatt Earp.

- My wife.

- How are you, Mr. Earp?

- And my daughter Laurie.

- Hi.

It is an honor.

- Thank you.

- Nothing, Miss McCoy.

You are here on business?

I would like,

but I do not know what.

Well, if you want

work ...

... We have a problem

enforce the law. Wichita grew up ...

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, I am

merchant, not police.

In addition, you have a Sheriff.

We would not refuse a

another, especially a man like you.

Think about it. I assure you,

together, ...

... We will pay you very well.

No, thank you, Mr.

Good. Good luck

what you do.

- Count on me.

- Thank you. Good day.

Your book, Mr.

Thank you.

I was going to lose, right?

A real man. Too bad he did not

accepted the position

He may accept it soon.

This is a lawyer born.

Do not lose sight of.

FOREIGN leaked BANDITS

- Good evening.

- Bat, Mr. Mayor, Mr. Whiteside.

What a title!

"Foreign leaked bandits."

Masterson loves alliteration.

You should have seen the title

he wanted to.

= "Pistolero Protects Pognon

Felling guilty. "

- A glass?

- No, thank you

I explained to our reporter ...

... There is a difference between

a gunslinger and a gunman

How do you know

Am I?

I judge by deeds.

An armed man defending the law.

That's what you did.

Did you like my story?

This is the first.

It is well written, but you do not say everything.

You do not say what you did, you.

He is a young very modest.

and it is difficult to talk about

himself in third person.

By the way ...

... We talked about you.

It is not the only,

for that matter.

If it's for the office of Sheriff,

I'm not interested.

We want to know why.

Do not say anything if you do not want.

I think there are others who

would work in this career.

Not me.

Frankly, I do

not blame you.

It's hard work and thankless.

Yes, in addition to maintaining order,

Sheriff is always a target.

Several gunmen dream

to become famous by killing one.

Count on me,

Mr. Mayor.

But only as a citizen,

not as a man of the law.

Good evening.

It does not seem too much

worry about the danger.

Nobody likes you

shoots him.

No one fired at the

Sheriff we have.

Billy Smith?

You call that a Sheriff?

He was all his life.

He was fired from all the villages

this side of the Mississippi.

How can he take

when these cowboys are crazy here?

I heard he had the chips

Allsworth to it two years ago.

"Chips"?

Expression of the West, which means

he was scared to death.

I think I remember.

Cowboys had drunk

started shooting into the crowd

They got rid of Smith.

... But put them in a foreign

prison without firing a shot.

And I remember his name.

Wyatt Earp.

What a shame.

This is what we need.

You should have seen how

handles the revolver.

He drew to injure,

not to kill.

He has other qualities,

know how to take apart.

He is a man of law,

by vocation.

But he refuses to admit it.

What are you talking about?

In Boston, I met a blacksmith

which was the same.

In his case,

was religion.

He was a born preacher.

But he resisted.

One day the preacher

became ill.

The blacksmith was replaced.

He spent the rest of his life

to serve God.

The best predictor

I've seen.

Serve God and serve the Act,

is not the same.

I do not agree.

Both need

a dedicated man.

You know what I mean

by "dedicated".

Go to bed, Arthur.

Bat ...

If I take care of him.

You think Wyatt Earp

accept the position?

If he does,

is that it's crazy.

If he does not

it will become unlivable here.

You saw the cowboys

terrorize a city?

No, sir.

I do.

This is the show.

They draw on windows,

the lights ...

... Objects ...

One night

they killed my wife.

You close, right?

Yes, sir.

Here they come,

those who make history.

Here!

It's yours!

The Texans are there

and this city will never be the same.

Listen, guys. I do not want

see one sober man.

- It is here, Sam

- Well, Clint.

How long

will you stay in Wichita?

There is no rush.

The cowboys will not leave that

when they will have more money.

Or when you will

more alcohol.

About alcohol.

I pay the first round.

With pleasure.

I pay the next.

Babylon on the Arkansas River.

Without hanging gardens.

You have decided what kind

business you get started?

No, not yet.

There is room for

other bars.

- I saw Bat come with chefs.

- It will be good. He does not drink again.

As long as it is with Wallace,

the cowboys leave him alone.

I hope.

It's a good boy.

His problem

that he does not know fear.

- And you?

- Yes, I have learned.

No, what you have learned,

is discretion.

Which, according to philosophers,

is the best part of courage.

Maybe. I have never tried

problems deliberately, but ...

... But they are the ones

who you are.

You have a drink

with me, Wyatt?

No, thank you. Good evening.

Yes, that's for sure.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

I help you?

Very kind of you,

it is very heavy.

Well, they are there now.

It's interesting, right?

Yes, we can say that.

Miss, I do not advise you

to go alone in the streets.

At least

until the start of the cowboys.

- You believe that there will be violence?

- Yes, I think.

- Thank you.

- It was a pleasure.

Ah, Miss McCoy.

It may be that you hear

shots that night.

Do not worry, your mother and you.

Stay away from windows

and turn off the lights.

I have heard of these

Wild nights in the West,

But I did not think it existed.

If it exists.

It is a concern, is not it?

Yes.

I have always lived in the West.

I saw many villages like this one.

Violence always affects me.

I should be used.

You are strange.

- You think so?

- Yes, the bank, you were different.

I was born under an unlucky star

It happens all the

time things like that.

You will be careful tonight?

Yes. Thank you.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Hey, boy!

- Fill the glass.

- Yes, sir.

And voila, Gyp!

I told you that you're swimming.

We Texans,

you can bathe together.

I sold the entire herd.

He leaves tomorrow.

I saw several villages ephemeral

but remain Wichita.

- Ha!

- Why do you laugh?

You are drunk.

Whiteside, you are

a reporter drunk.

I do not like journalists drunk.

and sober.

And I hate the breeders!

We drink to that.

Wichita and the Wild.

Where were you, kid?

Take a drink.

No, thank you.

Come on, sir.

I think he does not like cowboys.

Of course, if everyone likes you.

He can not drink like you, that's all.

If I resist alcohol.

Take us at Bar Keno.

Clint, we are too old

to drink all night.

Maybe you're right.

Let's go home.

Mary prepared you a room.

You know, Sam? The Mary
