Sound speeds.

Scene 61, Ed Asner, take two.

Settle.

And action.

All right, Ms.
Hart, that's just fine.

Let's move your hat
over to the right a bit.

That's it.

Yep, over to that side, very good.

Tilt a little more.

There we go.

Yeah, we want that attitude.



Okay, put your,

why don't you put your foot
up on that bench there.

Very good.

Put your knee across

that's right.

Now this one is for posterity.

This one is going to go
down through time, okay.

So right down to the barrel of that lens,

I wanted to want you to look
right through the years.

Okay.

Every eye in America is
going to be looking at you

and you want to look right back.

Here we are, all right.

Hold real still now.

Pearl.

Yes, you are.

My family name is...

How do you like the sound of Pearl Hart?

I must attend the lecture soon.

Have you
ever been to Chicago?

Fred.

I'm ready.

Where's the rope?

Forgot to bring one?

Just jump.

Jump?

Yeah, what's wrong?

Don't be afraid.

Come one, come all,

see the world famous Buffalo Bill.

Straight from the wild west.

Savage Indians of the Plains.

Cowboys from the Rocky mountains.

Fred.

Fred.

I saw her.

Who?

I saw Annie Oakley.

Did you make anything?

No.

I feed you.

I put clothes on your back.

And you don't even lend me a helping hand.

Fred, there's a constable right there.

Oh, no, no.

He's coming, let's go.

Hey.

Fred.

Huh?

What if we went out west?

We could live life like
Bill and Annie Oakley.

Find ourselves a cabin in the Rockies.

Raise horses and chickens.

You sure would like that, wouldn't you?

Get me scalped by some red man,

or worse.

Hey,

but you might fit in there anyhow.

Be some ingin's wife.

What do they call them?

I ain't tired yet.

I won't be gone but a little while.

Squaw.

That's it.

Virgil told about the good housewife.

She rose early in the morning

in order to delegate the
jobs of the household,

and even king Solomon in the Bible

could see the benefit and value of women.

He saw their feminine industry
and their feminine economy,

even though those days
were long before right now.

So what I will share

to both men and women,

many of you will not want to hear.

Hope died when I was
led to my wedding bed.

Join me, join me.

Hello there.

Hello.

It's not mine actually.

The violin.

I played the keys.

Piano.

And I'm looking for talent

for the finest ballroom in Colorado.

I don't usually use my
charm so much, you know.

And

I'm not usually so lousy at it either.

I shall find another seat.

Please.

I didn't mean to be rude.

Dan Bandman.

Because I am after all the band

man.

Where is she?

We've been waiting for over an hour.

One moment, please.

Come on.

You must be ready.

They're going to kill me out there

if you don't come up soon.

What is it now?

I,

I think I'm with child.

But we've only been to bed...

It isn't yours.

As far as I know.

What will you do now?

Just give me a minute.

I'll come out in a minute.

Pearl.

I was not of my right mind, Pearl.

You know that that

intolerable drunk in Chicago

is not truly the man you married.

And where did he come from?

I must confess.

I do know,

but I can assure you he has left,

never to be seen again.

Well, if you want me,

take me to Arizona.

You do want a Western life, don't ya?

I'd like to provide it for you, Pearl.

And the child?

Will he come with us?

I think at best we
established ourselves first

and then send for him.

Your mother may watch him in the meantime.

And wouldn't it be nice to
have some time to ourselves

without a care in the world?

We've never really had that, have we?

No we haven't.

I can be your Buffalo Bill

and you can be my Annie Oakley.

Fight for your country gentlemen.

Fight the Spanish.

You look like an able-bodied man.

The army needs you, sir.

Join up today.

Good pay and good rations.

Fight for your country.

War with Cuba.

War with Spain.

We must beat them before they beat us.

Remember the main, the hell with Spain.

I told you, no come here again.

Is my wife around?

Take her home.

You got it, lady.

Pearl.

Pearl.

You already took it.

Well, send another
letter to your mother.

It ain't enough.

She has our child,

who I may never see again.

Fight for your country, gentlemen.

Sign up today.

Good pay, good rations.

To hell with Spain, remember the main.

Fred?

Huh?

Let's leave this place.

You and me.

There's gotta be someplace

better than this.

Yeah.

There's gotta be.

This is goodbye, Pearl.

Where are you going?

Cuba

to fight for our country.

I may never see you again.

There's the possibility
I may never return.

You can't just leave.

I can do anything I damn well please.

Frederick Hart,

I hope you die out there.

Fred,

I didn't mean it.

Good morning, miss.

I've got two more loads after this one.

Might get to it then.

It's ain't no that.

I come ask you something.

Please forgive way I speak.

I not born America.

Miss?

Can't you see here I got work to do?

I hear some say you take men

at night.

Who said that?

I no remember.

Where'd you hear
something like that, huh?

Maybe it's come from dream.

What's your name?

Joe.

Joe Boot.

Sounds American to me.

It do?

Well, what you heard was,

was a goddamn lie

if there ever was one.

Yes, miss.

Don't be calling me that.

I ain't no madam,

or missus,

or Mademoiselle.

The name's Pearl, if you've got to use it.

- Pearl.
- Mail delivery.

Listen up.

- Mumford.
- Pearl.

Roe.

Whitlock.

McCallister.

Anything for Hart?

Let me look.

For you, ma'am.

Jefferson.

Smith.

Have you heard?

Yes.

Well, what are we going to do?

I don't know.

You really think they'll close it?

There won't be no men round here.

We won't make nothing no more.

What's your meaning?

They're shutting up the mine.

Ain't you heard a word I said about it?

Mary Ellen,

I think it's best

we find our way home.

If I had one, I'd already be there.

Anyhow, we better make what we can

while there's still someone
around here to make it from.

Ms. Pearl?

Ms. Pearl?

It's Joe.

That'll be $2.

I happy I find you.

Pays up front.

No, no.

Ms. Pearl, I come tell you.

All go tomorrow.

Tell me something I don't know.

I stay.

Okay.

The mine, not this mine,

another mine, my mine.

Two miles.

Where'd you get this?

I purchase.

My mine.

What do you know about mining?

Me learn.

You're a goddamn fool.

I reckon you got this from
another one of your dreams.

Ms. Pearl.

It's just Pearl.

I ask you make this business venture

with me.

Why me?

I see you work.

Hard.

Strong.

I say to myself,

Joe,

this is the woman you want.

Yeah, a woman.

I suppose you don't have anything else

in that mind of yours about this woman.

Miss

Pearl.

I am man of word.

I met plenty of men,

just like you.

And there word doesn't mean nothing to me.

What you yanks say?

Spit and shake.

We partners now, Pearl.

I see you one morning.

Joe.

Good night.

My mine.

You see?

I see.

I suppose you got the equipment we need

stashed away somewhere.

Me find that.

Just what I figured.

I don't know about where you come from,

but around here,

these things cost money.

Yes, Pearl.

I have idea about this too.

You sure this is going to work?

I tell him Pearl wait.

What if he doesn't fall for it?

He have many risks.

- Joe.
- What?

So he just walks in here and...

Shh.

He come.

That boy weren't lying.

Come on in.

Why don't you tell me what he told you?

He told me

if I gave him a good deal on a frying pan,

he'd let me lay with a woman

who was as purdy as the sea

and that boy weren't lying.

You fool.

They're gonna come after us.

Come on.

How much did we get?

Hello Jesus.

Coast is clear.

Coast?

This come to good use.

You said you were just
going to take his money

once his trousers came off.

You didn't say nothing about
near knocking his brains out.

I not want him

lay with Pearl.

Well, next time you ought to just

pull a six shooter on him.

Six shoot?

A gun.

I no have.

This ain't the kind of country

you want to be in without one.

Yes.

You eat?

Thank you.

In morning, I go to town,

get tools for mine.

Not that town.

They'll string you up.

String?

I go next town.

Close.

Yeah.

Might just dig yourself right
back to where you came from.

Close, Pearl.

I tell you.

You've been telling me a lot of things

ever since I met your sorry ass.

Now we're in here,

you might just get us killed.

I can't make up my mind

if that'd be such a bad thing after all.

You're right.

Joe know nothing.

Maybe you go back.

It's not you.

My mother's dying.

I heard from her

around the time the mine shut down.

She needs money for the doctors.

She has my child.

I ain't seen him in a
couple of weeks since,

I never thought my life
would turn out this way.

Pearl,

Joe have one more idea.

For this,

we need six shoot.

What type of gun

is your husband in the market for, ma'am?

Nothing too cumbersome.

I see.

We have this 58 Remington conversion

that he might like,

just came in from back east.

Pardon me, mister,

I think that's a little large.

Just what sort of task

is this gentleman hoping to achieve?

Say again?

Is he going to shoot
rabbits or rob a bank?

Does he intend to use this instrument

or just hang it on the mantle piece?

I expect he intends to use it.

Colt 45 caliber revolver,

reliable,

and certainly within your price range.

That'll do.

And I'd like something,

minus a pound or two,

in case he decides to travel light,

and a box of bullets for each.

You've been there?

Uh huh.

You've seen that exact spot?

Yes, Pearl.

No better place.

Whole world wrap stage coach.

So,

we hear them coming up

and we just come out?

Yes,

I think.

There's going to be two guns on top.

Two guns?

The fellow riding shotgun

and the driver's likely to have one too.

If they start shooting,

you're going to be
ready to use that thing?

And you?

If it comes to it.

You see tomorrow.

So they come riding up.

We come out of hiding.

And then what?

Ready?

Let's go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Whoa fellas.

Whoa, whoa.

Put down your guns

or we'll shoot.

Stop.

Or I shoot.

Go on.

Get rid of it.

Where's your shotgun messenger?

I ain't got one.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

it's the God's honest truth.

Nobody's ridden shotgun for a year.

Maybe more.

Stages don't get robbed these days.

Well coach.

Well,

what are you waiting for?

Come on out.

Show me them hands.

Now,

take out your guns from
wherever you're hiding them

and throw them in the dirt.

Don't tell me none of
you has got a single gun.

Pearl, careful.

Well, my my.

- You're a woman.
- What?

What'd I say?

I don't know why most men

walk around with a pistol on their hip.

It seems like they don't think
twice about giving it up.

Now turn out those pockets.

Slow.

Real easy there, miss.

I mean, if I guess your sex, correct.

- Now I'm on my...
- Turn them out.

- I understand...
- Or I'll turn 'em for you.

Yes.

But

I need this money.

We need to worse.

I don't want to hear
another word about it.

Stop moving so much.

I'll make certain you don't move for good.

God almighty.

What is it?

We'll count it later.

You got any?

He's got nothing in his pockets.

Look in hat.

Go on.

Thank you.

That's all I have.

On my word.

This'll do.

Pearl,

check stage,

driver,

he got money for sure.

Please don't kill me.

What's your name, mister?

Bacon, ma'am.

Henry's the name my mom gave me.

You got any money to speak of?

$2 in my boot.

Now me and my partner

are going to have a
council about what to do

with all of yous.

Just stay right where you're at.

300.

Yeah.

Best not be pushing our luck.

Okay.

Let's get them moving.

Okay, okay.

Yes.

Go on.

I said it's all over.

Now get in

before he leaves without you.

So you ain't left with nothing.

Now you go on just like you was.

All right.

Thank you.

And don't you be coming back.

Joe,

Do you hear me?

No go nowhere.

So you think they'll come after us?

No, no.

Yes.

They come.

But Pearl and Joe Boot

get away.

Far away.

Far away, yes, Pearl.

We count?

I think it's best we
count in the morning.

You did good, Joe.

Goodnight Pearl.

431.

Not bad.

You say not bad.

I say good.

They most certainly are coming after us.

So where are we headed next?

I always figured we'd go straight south

across the border.

You think they know we go?

Yeah.

Maybe we go like this.

Border, yes.

No, no.

Straight.

Straight.

- No, no straight.
- Yeah.

Yes.

So we ride in circles?

You know that'll take us twice,

if not three times as long.

They not know we do.

What you say in America,

you make think you do something

you not do.

Trick.

Yes, Pearl.

We trick.

Okay.

Well we best find some water soon.

We won't have anything to ride in on.

and some for me too.

Man or woman dressed this.

Woman who robbed stage coach.

Well, at least take the horse.

You keep.

Maybe they come find you.

Take this.

Should be enough.

You wait.

Joe come back.

Not long.

What if you are?

What if you don't come back?

You tell Pearl mother about Joe Boot.

Children too.

I know.

He'll be back soon.

I hope.

Have you ever been to Chicago?

I can be your Buffalo Bill.

You can be my Annie Oakley.

I play the keys.

But I can
assure you, he has left.

Never to be seen again.

And I'm looking for talent

for the famous ballroom in Colorado.

No.

Squaw.

I won't do it anymore.

I can't do it anymore.

Pearl?

Is that you?

You all right, Pearl?

- Oh god.
- I bring food.

- Thank you.
- Water.

What happened?

Someone come?

Someone hurt?

I will kill them.

No.

They did nothing.

I ain't thirsty.

You no thirsty.

Look what Joe bring.

I think Pearl thirsty now.

We have good night, Pearl.

You did good, Joe.

Finish it.

All for you, Pearl.

I said finish it.

No.

I take one.

You take one.

They call that a split.

Split?

Right down the middle.

You and I split good.

Right.

Oh.

I sure wish we had a fire.

Fire.

We make small one.

No one come.

When I first see you, Pearl,

I,

no.

Good morning.

I have nothing.

I have no gun.

Don't make a damn move,

either of you.

Where's Pearl?

We're taking her to Tucson.

But she do no wrong.

All Joe.

Yeah, sure about that.

Is it really you?

Huh?

Who are you?

I'm a reporter.

Don't get no ideas about leaving.

Sheriff, this must be her.

Her who?

The woman who robbed the stage coach.

The bandit queen.

Queen?

Well, that's the moniker
of the Daily Star gave you.

I have to say it's a mighty good one.

The Tucson paper?

Matter of fact,

kind of wish I'd come
up with that one myself.

Well, that's where we're taking her.

We got no facility suitable for her kind.

But you can't take her, by golly.

I just rode all the way here from Benson

as soon as I heard about the arrest.

Let me sit down and have a
cup of coffee with my subject

and conduct a proper interview here.

I don't know or care about no subject.

I could care less back
to your damn interview.

What about Joe?

Couple of love birds, ain't you?

I'd like to have a minute with him,

if you'd allow it.

Sheriff?

Down there.

You tell men

stage coach are my think.

All Joe,

no Pearl.

No.

Joe.

There's a good chance

we ain't ever gonna see each other again.

I suppose you might see
each other at the trial.

But there's a good chance this is goodbye.

Trial?

Yes.

Pearl, I so sorry.

I never find money for mine.

You never did pull
the wool over my eyes.

That's more than any other man could say.

Now you listen,

you listen what Joe say.

You start loud.

You call Joe a son of a, you know.

Maybe they think we no partners.

Maybe they think

you no want to rob stage.

Joe make you do.

Pearl, you listen what Joe say.

I love you, Pearl.

You god damn dirty bastard.

I never would've gotten to
this mess if it wasn't for you.

Pearl.

All right, come on, let's go.

- You no good dirty bastard.
- Pearl?

I hope you rot in hell.

Pearl!

I say to myself,

Joe,

this is the woman you want.

Hey, are you that girl
they been talking about?

Doc, I swear, I don't
know how she snuck it in.

Doesn't really matter now,

the damage is already done.

And it don't look like
it was the first time

that she's done such a thing.

You think she'll try it again?

Well, if she has the opportunity,

I'm sure the next time
she'll do an even finer job.

Yeah, Doc.

Hey, over there.

Your name's Pearl, right?

Shut it.

Quiet or they'll hear us.

They'll hear you.

I ain't got nothing to say.

Well then at least listen to me.

Before you came along, I was in there.

That's my cell, the one you're in.

What I'm getting at is

see, I've been here a mighty long while,

eight or nine months now.

I lost count.

If you look at the wall,

not the one underneath the window,

the one across from the
one tween you and me.

I was digging a hole.

There ain't no hole.

Well, not yet there ain't

on account of the fact
that they took my cell

and gave it to you.

Feel it.

It's soft right in the
middle, like butter.

If you can finish the job that I started,

maybe we both can get
ourselves out of here.

Well, you ain't said no yet.

So when you finish with that there hole,

come around the front,

sneak through while Billy's
having one of his sweet dreams

and come let me out of here.

Hey, where are you going?

What do you want from me?

Well, seeing as how we just
made a jailbreak together,

I was thinking that maybe...

Look, I didn't ask for no partner,

and I don't want no partner.

Miss, I think that's mighty ungrateful,

especially considering how you'd still...

What'd I tell ya?

Now go your own way.

Go on.

Shit.

Ms. Hart,

would you tell the court

why is it that you

and the man name Joe Boot

decided to rob the stage coach.

Answer the question, Mrs. Hart.

What can I say?

It was between the devil

and the deep blue sea.

I'm just glad no one got hurt.

We didn't know if we got $40

or $400.

We just wanted to get
the hell out of there.

But I gave them each a dollar.

Didn't want them to go hungry.

Joe begged me

to blame him for what we'd done,

but he was my partner.

He was just trying to help
me get home to my mother.

I know it's public knowledge

that I took attempts at my own life.

But the only person I ever
tried to kill was myself.

The irony of freedom is

for me

that it took risking everything

I ever had

until I had nothing left to lose.

Wasn't until then the whole world

made me their bandit queen.

What a dream.

I take it that's the end of your story.

Yes, your honor.

Yes it is.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I'm sure we've heard all we need to hear

from these two prisoners.

Gentlemen of the jury,

you will now retire to
begin your deliberations.

I just hope you'll allow
me to finish my lunch

before rendering your verdict.

Court is in recess.

Gentlemen of the jury,

have you reached a verdict?

We have your honor.

Will the jury
foreman please rise

and read the verdict.

On the charge of armed robbery,

the jury finds both defendants not guilty.

Order.

Counsel,

get your asses up here.

This is unacceptable.

She won fair and square, your honor.

She manipulated them.

We could have her
arrested on another charge.

Yes, but what?

Tampering with the US mail.

The mail was on the coach.

Yes.

But it's kinda weak.

She had a gun.

She shouldn't have been carrying a gun.

Isn't she your client?

Two charges are better than one.

Bailiff, arrest the woman
Pearl Hart and Joe Boot.

No.

We've been acquitted.

I shall not be tried by a law

that our sex had no voice in making.

No.

Yes?

It's about the woman, sir.

Come in.

There's one of them reporters here

requesting an interview.

Another?

This one come in all
the way from New York.

Hell, I got letters
from three others here.

It might not be such a bad idea

for the prison's reputation,

and yours too, sir,

if you don't mind me saying.

Hmm.

With all that exposure,

huh.

We could improve her accommodations.

Put her in the larger
cell up by the mountain.

I see to it right away, sir.

And get her a brand
new bed, for god's sakes,

and fresh linens.

Can't have this place looking
like a prison, can we?

Ms. Hart.

Newspaperman here to see you

all the way from New York.

Manhattan, to be exact.

And I would prefer journalist.

Just getting settled in?

I guess.

Might not be a bad idea

to get comfortable with such a long stay.

I meant no offense.

If you don't mind the
direct question, Ms. Hart,

how do you plan to spend the next

five years?

As quickly as possible.

I think we will be
sitting for this interview,

but first we must take your portrait.

Guard,

is there anything else she can wear?

Perhaps what she was arrested in?

I'll ask to the warden,

and I prefer officer.

Huh.

Well, officer, a gun for her to hold,

unloaded of course.

Hmm.

No.

Where are you going?

Away.

Far away.

Come with me.

Don't go.

Pearl.

- Come find me.
- Joe!

Joe.

Joe.

No.

Oh no.

Pearl?

I brought someone here for you to talk to.

Not today.

You don't seem like yourself today.

I had a weird dream last night.

Joe escaped,

ran off without me.

What is it?

I was ordered not to tell you.

When?

Near a month now.

Warden made him a trustee,

driving supplies for the gangs outside.

Cause he wasn't worth trusting.

They're still looking.

They ain't found nothing yet.

It's a wonderful

and terrible thing to be found.

I hope he never is.

How old are you?

19.

You remind me of myself

years ago

before all this happened.

Will you come back tonight?

I don't want to be alone.

If you'd like.

Do I look like her?

Pearl?

I tried my best, you know,

the bandit queen.

Pearl?

Pearl, I brought someone here to see you.

Well how long should I have her wait?

Can't you see I'm sick?

I'll grab a doctor.

Well?

She is.

How could this happen?

The way it normally does.

You said she's had a lot of visitors.

Well, if there's nothing else,

I'll be on my way.

We must inform the governor.

Send a telegram at once.

There will be no more visitations
until I say otherwise.

Yes, sir.

There will be no more special
privileges for that woman.

It'll be different this time.

I'll take care of you

all on my own.

He's been transferred to another block.

I have here your pardon

from the governor.

He asked me to relay a message to you.

Do not set foot in
Arizona territory again.
