Young Guns Page #4

Jesus Christ! This country needs a hero! However,

Murphy of Lincoln has hired none other than John

Kinney... and his Dona Ana Bunch to help hunt down

Billy the Kid and the gang.

CHARLEY:

Great, John Kinney!

BILLY:

Well, who's Kinney?

DOC:

It says here... he's an ex-soldier who suffered an

injury and is now a bounty hunter.

STEVE:

What's that mena?

CHARLEY:

It means he can whip some ass.

DICK:

Hey Doc? Can you come here for a minute?

DOC:

Yeah. What's up?

DICK:

Well, we can't go North because Murphy's got men

coming out of Fort Sumner. We can't go South because

he's got Brady coming in.

DOC:

Yeah.

DICK:

East is no good cuz we got John Kinney coming up

now. We can go west through the Valley of Fires but

there's the...Mescalero Reservation.

DOC:

And they're having a good year with scalps, no

thanks Richard.

DICK:

I don't know what the hell to do. What the hell is

he doing?

CHAVEZ:

We've come to a place where we are lost, no? When an

Indian is lost, he must reach into the spirit world

to find the way. On the Spirit Road, he'll be shown

a sign. This is the way to the Spirit Road. We're

lost right now... But I'll find us a way.

STEVE:

Oh Christ, Chavez! That's all we need, is some more

of your red-ass... Navajo mambojahambo... We're

running out of time here, Chavez.

CHARLEY:

Is that any good? Chavez, what is, what is that?

CHAVEZ:

Peyote.

DOC:

Yen Sun, it's me, Doc.

YEN SUN:

I know what you desire. You've come to lay me and

cut me into tiny pieces with a knife. You're a

bandit who eats children and old people.

DOC:

I eat meat and potatoes. Who told you that?

YEN SUN:

My benefactor.

DOC:

Your benefactor? That's the man that eats people.

Yen, if you want to stay here, tell me now and I'll

go. Do you wanna stay here?

YEN SUN:

In China, girls are not necessary. When we have

floods, fathers let the girl babies wash by. My

benefactor has made me necessary.

DOC:

He's not made you necessary, he's made you a slave.

I'm sorry. Necessary...is something you can't do

without. I can't do without you.

YEN SUN:

I keep the flowers that you offered me... in a

little room...inside my head. Inside my heart.

Often, you come in and ask me to dance. I often say

yes.

DOC:

I want to ask something else of you now. I want you

to go with me to Roswell. There's a railroad going

to New York city. Two days we can be on the train...

We can be in another country. In a city, together. I

can't stand him. He gets an idea in his head and you

can't get..., get rid of it. If I stay with him much

longer, I'll be as stiff as a photograph. The only

chance I have is to get hellbent for leather now!

YEN SUN:

They would chase us.

DOC:

I'm used to that.

YEN SUN:

Don't... I am unclean... that is not for a young

man.

DOC:

I used to ride with the dirty underwear gang out of

Liberty, Missouri. Then John Tunstall taught me...

that the past is like an old yellow-back novel. When

you're start a new one. Okay? You're necessary. Yen,

go with me, Yen Sun.

YEN SUN:

No! No!

DOC:

Come with me.

MURPHY:

Open it! Yen Sun!

BILLY:

It's for you, Alex.

ALEX:

You weren't supposed to touch Brady!

BILLY:

Sheriff Brady sent the men who killed John.

It's a good move for us, Alex.

ALEX:

Was it Billy?

BILLY:

Yes it was!

ALEX:

Have you seen 'The Independent'? The Governor's

revoked your deputation powers. You're now wanted

by the legitimate law as well as you are by those

outside the law. You're not only being hunted by

John Kinney and Murphy's men... you're being hunted

by troops! Fort Stanton, Billy. The U.S. Army! The

government's put a two hundred dollar bounty on your

head. You were supposed to serve eleven warrants and

expose the Ring. Instead you went out and you went

on the warpath... on a rampage! Now Richard's dead!

And we're living up here like fugitives! What the

hell do you think you're doing out there?

BILLY:

I don't know... Maybe I'm trying to get President

Hayes to look this way. They'll let Murphy and his

bankers get away with anything and I can't allow

that! The more bastards I dust, the more news

stories they write. The more troops they send out

after us, the more President Hayes is gonna have to

raise an eyebrow. Come down and see for himself

what's going on here. He'll find out who's really

doing the killing.
