Winchester '73 Page #2

---

You gotta wait, Lin!

- I'll wait!

Pass the cartridges.

Ready?

Lin McAdam!

Three in the bull's-eye

for Lin McAdam!

Henry!

Dutch Henry Brown.

Three in the bull's-eye

for Dutch Henry Brown!

Looks like

we could move this target

clear to the next county!!!

and they'd still be

shootin' even!

Wait a minute!

See if he can hit this!

Huh?

Suit you?

Sure!

All right.

- Ready?

- Uh-huh!

Plumb center!

Here, I'll put up this time!

I wouldn't want to play my hand

on borrowed money!

All right!

You ready?

Whenever you say!

I've never seen the beat

of this shooting!

Well, it's not plumb center,

but it is a good hit!

Well, wanna try again

further off, McAdam?

Hmm?

Further off?

Oh, sure! Might get

a little expensive though!

Say, uh, you want sell?

Uh-huh!

How much?

One dollar!

One dollar!

One dollar!

One dollar!

I thought I had him beat!

Yeah!

See what you

can do with that!

Anything you say!

All right, Dutch Henry?

All right!

A miss!

Looks like another miss!

I wouldn't wanna

say you're wrong, Marshal,

but I didn't miss it!

I don't see any mark,

except maybe this scratch

on the inside rim!

That was my mistake!

I shot through it!

You missed it!

Can I borrow this

for a minute?

Yeah!

I'll do it again,

if you want!

You mean,

you want another shot?

Is that it?

No, not exactly!

I'll tell you what!

If I hit it, I win!

If I miss it, I lose!

You don't have to shoot!

Don't go makin'

any such fool deal as that!

If you're gonna have to shoot,

he's gonna have to shoot!

I'll take that bet!

Lin McAdam says

he's goin'to shoot a hole...

through this here

postage stamp!

Are you ready?

Uh-huh!

The winner!

Fine shootin'!

Thank you!

The boys would like to engrave

your name here on the gun stock!

So if you let us have it,

you can pick it up

in the morning!

That's real nice of'em!

I appreciate it!

How much

will you take for it?

It's not for sale!

That's too bad!

That's too much gun

for a man to have

just for!!! shootin' rabbits!

Or for shootin' men

in the back!

If it's all right with you,

I'll get my gun!

You mean you're

pullin' out of town?

Yeah.

All right! Get your gear and

stop by the office, and Virgil

will let you have your guns!

And see that

you get out of town!

I guess I won't have time

for that engraving!

I suppose!

You're pullin' out too?

That's right!

All right!

I wanna congratulate you!

That was real fine shooting!

Thanks! You pick up the guns

and the horses! I'll get

the stuff out of the room!

I can't think of anyone

I'd rather see own that gun,

except maybe me!

Fine! Fine! Thank you!

You understand I don't care

what they do to each other

once they leave town!

But there'll be

no gunfighting--

I understand perfectly!

And I promise you

there won't be!

All right!

Virgil, did Dutch Henry

pick up his gun?

No, he didn't pick it up!

I think this is his!

I thought he was gonna come by!

Why and how could he come by

and pick it up

if it's still here?

Sometimes you

don't make sense!

Of course he didn't come by,

or I'd have seen him!

Dutch! It's Wyatt Earp!

It's Earp, and he's got a gun!

Let's get out of here!

Lin!

I don't know what

your quarrel was before,

but you can add

the rifle to it now!

Yeah! Yeah!

I don't know about you,

but after two days,

this saddle's pounding

the back of my neck!

Why don't you run up and hit him

over the head with it?

What I wouldn't give

for a pocketful of shells!

While you're at it,

dream up a few for me, will you?

And a six-gun to go with it!

I ain't felt so naked

since the last time

I took a bath!

You got a long memory!

A funny man, huh?

But I still want a gun!

You'll have one as soon

as you get down to Riker's!

Maybe he'll buy you

a bath too!

There's more smoke!!!

up on the saddle back!

Yeah!

Take a look!

Can you read it?

I don't have to!

Injun smoke always

means the same-- trouble!

You think they know

about Custer?

All I know is,

I wanna get my business done

and get outta here!

If you were smart,

you'd do the same!

With what?

Mine doesn't come

as easy as yours!

Then why don't you

try it my way?

Or is that too rich

for your belly?

Call it that

if you want!

There's some things

that even I wouldn't sell

to an Indian!

Are we gonna quarrel?

Howdy, Dutch!

Been a long time!

Anybody inside?

Fella named Lamont!

Indian trader!

Did you come far?

Far enough!

Notice much smoke

on the way?

Looks like they're

working up a sun dance!

We're hungry!

This is Joe Lamont.

Dutch Henry, Johnny and Ben.

Looks like you might

have been in Dodge City

and left in a hurry!

Was that meant

to be funny?

He's all right, Dutch!

Just that he notices things

like guns!

You sellin' these?

Yep!

You a half-breed?

I'm white,

and you haven't got a gun!

That's right!

So I'll buy some of these!

I might even get one

that was meant to kill

a white woman!!!

or her kids!

It's empty!

How much you got?

Less than $20!

I left the rest

in Dodge City at 5 to 1!

You?

Uh, 7.58, 9.

I went for the whole kit.

We'll take three six-guns

and some 44-40s

for my Winchester!

What'll it be?

- $300!

Three hundred?

Why, you two-bit thief!

I ought to wrap 'em

around your neck!

A six-gun doesn't bring

better than $25

anywhere in the territory!

- Does for me!

- Why--

Wait a minute, Dutch!

You got no call

to insult this gentleman!

Gentleman!

All right! So he's

an Indian trader!

I know of a lot

worse things!

What, for instance?

That you're not gonna get

the price down that way!

I'm sick and tired

of goin' around naked!

Dutch, we need guns!

We got $82!

What'll that bring?

Mind if I look

at your Winchester?

I can use

a four-pound steak!

Or will that cost 300?

No, I get my beef cheap!

Have one on the house

while you're waiting!

One of a Thousand!

I've heard of'em,

but this is the first I see!

Play your red six

on the black seven!

The red six!

Thanks!

I'm not much of a hand

at cards!

Just killin' a little time

until Young Bull

sends his man down!

Yes, sir,

that's a real fine gun!

Don't suppose

you wanna sell?

I'm buyin', not sellin'!

Your black jack

on the queen!

What's Young Bull doin'

this far north?

I wouldn't know!

But he wants guns!

They all want repeaters

since the Little Big Horn!

Thought I'd clean up

and get out!

Might go ranchin'

up Montana way!

What happened

at Little Big Horn?

Haven't you heard?

Sioux jumped Custer!

Wiped out his whole command!

Yes, sir, gettin' to be mighty

tough country to travel!!!

without a gun!

So I see!

Now, that gun there,

I'd be willing to give you

300 in gold!!!

and let you take your pick

of six-guns and repeaters!

Might even throw in

50 rounds of shells!

Move your king over

and get 'em all up!

I'm not tradin'!

You're about ready

to fall outta that saddle!

Why don't we

rest up for a little?

I'm not that tired!

Four or five hours ain't

gonna make any difference!

We've been chasin' him
