The Magnificent Seven (1998–2000): Season 2, Episode 6 - Wagon Train: Part 2 - full transcript
CHRlS:
PreviousIy on the Magnificent Seven:
l've come with a generous offer
for you fine people.
You ain't getting our land.
Now get out.
-Sounded like a ''no'' to me, O'Shea.
-A rough road for those folks.
TRAVlS: Might not be a bad idea
if you seven stick by them.
We're going on a wagon train.
Those farmers never reach the land,
they can't live on it.
l'd like you to meet
my old friend Gerard.
A man would be blind
not to notice her charms.
Well, l ain't blind.
Gerard asked me to marry him.
You ought to smile more often.
lt kind of lights up your face.
That's ''missus. '' Mrs. Richmond.
l know it ain't right, but l can't pretend
there's nothing between us.
lt's getting out of hand.
CHARLOTTE:
Vin, ha-ha.
Vin, where are you?
[CHARLOTTE GlGGLlNG ]
Vin?
Vin? Quit teasing me, now.
[VlN ROARS
AND THEN CHARLOTTE SCREAMS]
[CHARLOTTE GASPlNG
AND LAUGHlNG ]
Aw, it can't be fair
that l'm this happy.
l just don't wanna be
the cause of anyone's suffering.
Especially not his.
He's had plenty enough.
lf you wanna go back. . .
. . .l ain't gonna try and stop you.
J.D. : Who's coming in?
CHRlS: Looks like Richmond.
He's been out there all night?
Afraid so.
CHRlS:
Any sign of them?
She's gone.
That bastard took my wife.
Well, l get the feeling
it wasn't a kidnapping.
He took her.
He's a dead man. Come on.
[MUTTERS]
Oh, boy.
Those sodbusters are gonna plant
a blooming garden on my property.
Where are those blasted gunmen
l paid for?
-They'll be here soon enough, Dicky.
-True.
[POWDER MAN SlNGlNG ]
Hey.
l'm short on patience, see.
How long?
Depends.
You want them scared or dead?
Which is quicker?
KATlE: Oh, here, give it to me.
Oh! Here it comes.
Give me a high one.
l brewed it till the spoon
stood up on its own.
-Thick as mud?
MARY: Mm-hm.
KATlE:
Here it comes. Look out.
-Perfect. Ha-ha.
-Ah, ha-ha.
KATlE:
Here it comes.
[CHlLDREN LAUGHlNG
AND THEN DOGS BARKlNG ]
KATlE:
Here it comes.
BlLLY:
Gotcha.
[MARY SlGHS]
This is what it's gonna be like,
you know?
What's that?
Our lives together.
lf you accept my proposal.
-l know l promised not to pressure you.
-No, no, that's all right. l'm just. . .
. . .thinking.
-About the newspaper?
-Yes.
You know, but it's more than that,
it's the town.
l've just worked so hard. . .
. . .and we've been trying to build
something special there.
MARY: A safe place
that people can call home.
That would be hard
to say goodbye to.
Mary.
l love you.
l wanna be with you. . .
. . .and l wanna to be a father
to your son.
Well, l can't think of a finer man
to raise my son.
[MARY LAUGHS]
But this is a very big decision. . .
. . .and l think l need
some more time to think about it.
All right.
GERARD:
All right.
[STRUMMlNG FlDDLE]
Throw it to me. Throw it to me.
l got this ball. l got the-- Hey.
[CHlLDREN GlGGLlNG ]
Go on. Come on, get it.
Go get it. Quick.
[BUCK LAUGHlNG ]
Hey, look at those two.
They're like brother and sister.
[BUCK SlGHS]
So, Chris, tell me, how much longer
you reckon we're gonna be stuck here?
-Getting itchy, Buck?
BUCK: Oh, yes.
This place is peaceful as a prayer
meeting and l miss the smell of beer.
l'll bet you do.
Well, let's give it till morning.
l still don't think we've seen
the last of Dicky O'Shea.
BUCK:
All right.
Hey, Chris, what's this wire?
BUCK:
Get away from there.
[POWDER MAN SlNGlNG ]
[PEOPLE SCREAMlNG ]
BUCK:
Stay inside the wagon!
[YELLlNG ]
[HORSE WHlNNlES]
Oh, Powder Man. Ho, ho!
[POWDER MAN
LAUGHS MANlACALLY]
Ouch.
MAN:
Mom, where are you?
[CHATTERlNG
AND HORSE WHlNNYlNG ]
GERARD:
You okay?
MARY [MUMBLES] :
What happened?
JOSlAH: Everybody okay?
ALlCE: What's going on?
JOSlAH:
All right, son?
[BO Y WHlMPERlNG ]
JOSlAH:
All right. All right, now.
ALlCE: Are you all right?
-We're all in one piece, all in one piece.
[MEN GROANlNG ]
Billy?
-Billy?
GERARD: Katie?
-Billy, where are you?
-Katie?
BUCK:
l got Katie here.
GERARD: Katie.
MARY [SCREAMS] : Billy?
GERARD: lt's all right. lt's all right.
MARY: Oh, God.
Billy?
Momma!
BlLLY:
Momma. Ma.
MARY:
You all right?
-Nathan, when you can, l need help.
-Okay.
Everyone, stay inside the wagon.
BUCK: You all right, J.D.?
J.D. : Cowards!
J.D. : Why don't you show yourselves
and fight like men?
BUCK: J.D., calm down.
-Shut up, Buck.
DlCKY: You're between the rocks
and a hard place, lads.
Hand over the deed
and save yourselves.
J.D. :
Come on, show yourself, cowards.
Show yourself. Fight like men.
J.D. : Fight like men.
-Hold on. Hold on.
NATHAN:
Hold on. Stay with me.
GERARD:
Will.
We need to decide.
Decide then.
We're no match for dynamite.
NANCY:
We should leave while we can.
You can pull out if you want to,
but this is our land.
And l intend to stay right here.
lf we give the man the deed,
he'll let us go free.
Don't count on it. O'Shea won't
wanna leave any witnesses.
Hanging on to that deed could be
the only thing that keeps you alive.
Then we're agreed?
CROWD: Agreed.
-Yeah, agreed.
We will not be driven off
our land by outlaws.
CROWD:
That's right.
[CHATTERlNG ]
lf we sit here, they'll blow us all to hell.
Let's take the fight to them.
Yeah, let's see what they're made of
at close range.
All right. Sneak out of here
and find out what we're up against.
You hear me, Dicky?
We will not be driven off
our land by outlaws.
Worse than boots in a bog, this lot.
VlN: You ought to know,
my bag's always packed.
-l ain't one for settling down.
-You think that's gonna scare me off?
And l ain't no farmer.
l know who you are,
Mr. Wild-And-Woolly.
Something else
l ain't told you about me yet.
Say what you want.
My mind's made up about you.
There's a price on my head
for murder l didn't do.
Well, then you're innocent. . .
. . .which is a lot more
than can be said for me.
Vin, you are the kindest, boldest,
most exciting man l've ever known. . .
. . .and l will go to Mexico or Brazil
or anywhere you wanna run.
-l've been to Mexico.
-Then Brazil it is.
[DOG BARKlNG ]
EZRA: How's the fiddler?
-Nathan, Nathan.
[WHlSPERlNG ]
Nathan, don't let anybody take this land.
NATHAN: Mm-hm.
FlDDLER: l want you to have my land.
FlDDLER: l want you to have my land.
-l wouldn't feel right about that.
FlDDLER: No, no, no.
-No.
EZRA:
Nathan.
The man is facing his final summons.
Give him whatever it is he wants.
He wants to sign over his share to me
and l don't feel right about that.
Well, you never deny
a deathbed bequest.
Or his soul could be condemned
to wander the earth. . .
-. . .in search of another recipient.
-Oh.
EZRA:
Gentlemen.
We got them matched, man for man. . .
. . .but they got plenty of guns:
Remingtons and Winchesters alike.
And dynamite.
We head straight at them. . .
. . .they'll pick us off
like ducks on a pond.
lf l was O'Shea,
l'd hit while we're down.
l don't know what he's waiting for.
lf we figure a way in there,
your people willing to fight with us?
l don't know.
They're still reeling from the last attack.
But they didn't come
all this way to quit.
l know. You're right.
We're ready whenever you need us.
All right. That's it, then.
ALlCE:
Josiah.
ALlCE: Josiah.
EUGENE: Josiah.
ALlCE: Oh.
JOSlAH: Whoa.
The thought of you out there made
Eugene's skin get up and crawl all over.
-Are you all right? Did they get you?
-l'm fine. l'm fine. l'm fine.
Oh, don't you ever
disappear on us again.
-We get inconsolable with worry.
JOSlAH: Well--
ALlCE:
l'm so glad you're all right.
Vin?
Vin? Vin, quit teasing me, now.
FlFE:
Hello.
[CHARLOTTE SCREAMlNG
AND FlFE LAUGHlNG ]
[GRUNTlNG ]
MAN:
Whoa, whoa.
There's 20 gunslingers over that hill.
Fire and that'll bring them running.
VlN: Who are you riding for?
-Dicky O'Shea.
We're the reinforcements
to keep the sodbusters off.
That's my husband's land.
-Then what're you doing with him?
-Mind your own business.
You all right?
-l'm fine.
VlN: We gotta go back.
l can't go back. l'm scared.
l don't know if l'll have the strength
to leave again.
We gotta go warn them. Come on.
[EZRA SlGHS]
Sad day.
You know, ah, it's times like this. . .
. . .when the fiddler's mellifluous strings
will be sorely missed.
You know, someone should do
something to honor his memory.
l suppose so.
EZRA:
You know, this is just a thought. . .
. . .but perhaps you could build something
on the land he bequeathed.
A shrine or a business in his name.
This ain't about you
and that damn saloon, is it?
Lord, you got no shame, Ezra.
Actually, l was envisioning a medical
facility, but if you're not interested--
You wanna build a hospital?
Yes, in which instead of
being an itinerant sawbones. . .
. . .you would be
a full-fledged practicing physician.
Think about it.
Hmm.
Huh.
[J.D. SlGHS]
You'll clean the metal
right off of that.
Buck, you know better than
to walk up to a man with a gun.
You nervous, kid?
-No.
-Only a fool wouldn't be nervous.
That's what'll keep you alive.
You know, when those, uh--
When those bombs
went off earlier, l--
lt didn't matter how fast l was
or, uh, how brave l was. Ha.
lt was just dumb luck that l wasn't
standing right where that fiddler was.
Well. . .
. . .you'll still be dumb tonight,
so your luck ought to hold out.
-Serious.
-l know.
Go and get myself killed. . .
. . .and l'd never have had a chance
to ride with the Rangers. . .
. . .never have a chance
to see San Francisco.
Hell, l could make Casey a widow. . .
. . .before l even have a chance
to marry her.
l don't know about the Rangers. . .
. . .but at least Casey can console herself
knowing your true feelings.
Not quite.
You didn't tell her
how you felt about her?
No, l was, uh--
l mean, l was planning on it.
[J.D. CLEARS THROAT]
Well, you know soldiers. . .
. . .they pen letters
to their sweethearts.
Just showing them
they were thinking about them.
You might wanna take that lesson.
You can write, can't you?
[BUCK LAUGHS]
Buck, J.D., let's go.
Let's go.
MARY:
Chris, wait.
CHRlS: You back for good?
-Come to warn you.
O'Shea's hired 20 new guns.
They're right on our heels.
J.D. : Twenty more guns?
Oh, this will get interesting.
BUCK: We got time to take out his men
before they get here?
VlN:
Doubt it.
You got five seconds
to get off my land.
Drop the gun.
This doesn't concern you, Larabee.
Will, this is not
gonna change anything.
All right now, fella.
We're all in this together.
Let him go.
Mister, this ain't the time.
You wanna keep these people alive,
we got work to do.
Charlotte, come with me.
Let's get you cleaned up.
Josiah.
Find me as much powder as you can.
[GRUNTlNG ]
Here, let me.
l expect you consider me
a loose woman, running off like l did.
l don't judge you, Charlotte.
Then you'd be alone in that.
Charlotte, this life is harsh enough.
lf you get a chance at happiness,
l'd say grab it.
Because you never know
when it may come around again.
NATHAN:
How about lending a hand, Ezra?
[NATHAN GRUNTlNG ]
So, ah, have you given
any more thought. . .
. . .to gracing this wasteland
with a proper medical facility?
Why don't you
say what you really want?
Because l know it ain't a hospital.
-Why, Nathan, you doubt my sincerity?
-You better believe it.
All right.
There's gold in that ground.
And the anticipation of it
is burning a hole in my stomach.
Ezra, this is not your land.
lt never was and it never will be.
[EZRA YELLS]
-Yep, that works.
-That was not kind.
Not kind at all.
Buck, give me that.
Buck, give it to me.
''Dear Casey, how are you?''
-Give it to me.
-''l nearly got myself killed today.
Got to me thinking how much
l'd miss fishing with you. ''
-What is that?
-What?
You're not holding hands
with your sister here--
-l know that.
-Well, women like love talk.
What? ''Love talk?''
What's this love talk?
Well, l'll tell you. lt's something like:
I Iove the taste of your rosy red Iips
And that sweet honey nectar
Ooh, that sway of your hips
-Aw, Buck, that is awful. Give me that.
-That's pure gold.
Gotta remember that.
[J.D. LAUGHS]
Well, it's about time.
-Right here.
BlLLY: Over here.
Here, Billy.
-Unh. Oh.
J.D. : You can't catch with your face.
Thank you.
Maybe coming on this wagon train
wasn't one of my better ideas.
Well, to tell you the truth. . .
. . .without you, l don't think
we would have made it this far.
You're a special lady.
l've decided to marry Gerard.
He's a good man.
Yeah.
l think a boy deserves
a father growing up.
So do l.
Billy seems to get along
just fine with him.
-What about you?
-What about me?
Do you love him?
A little bit? Ha-ha.
CHARLOTTE:
What do you see out there?
Quiet so far.
Here, have a look.
What do you see?
Hmm, l see. . .
. . .Brazil.
But it's fading.
l don't know how much longer
l can see it.
Don't quit on me yet, Charlotte.
We'll get there.
[GUNFlRE]
Down! Everybody down!
CHRlS:
Everybody take cover.
[EUGENE SHRlEKS
AND PEOPLE SHOUTlNG ]
CHRlS: Shirley, get the kid, take cover.
Take cover.
CHRlS: Here they come.
-Get down, everybody!
MAN:
Kill them all. Kill them.
[GUNFlRE]
Hold your fire.
First shots, Vin and Buck's.
Hold it.
-Get down.
-l can shoot.
Go on. Get down.
Wait for the pile of mud.
Hold it.
Buck, fire.
[GRUNTlNG ]
[HORSES WHlNNYlNG ]
Flank them. Flank them.
Wait. Wait.
Now.
JOSlAH:
Chin up.
DlCKY:
Right, lads, let's move.
[GUNFlRE]
[RlCHMOND GRUNTlNG
AND THEN MOANlNG ]
DlCKY:
Get up. Get up.
CHRlS:
Nathan!
Hold still now.
RlCHMOND:
Charlotte. Charlotte.
NATHAN:
Get my bag.
-l'm going to join your da, Dicky.
-You take that smile off your face.
You're going nowhere.
Nowhere, you hear me?
l wanna thank you for all you've done.
Job's not over.
-O'Shea will be back.
-With more new men.
The children can't stand another fight.
O'Shea. . . .
O'Shea can have this place.
Gerard.
Wait, now. You're giving up now?
We took a vote.
These folks don't wanna risk it.
Too many dead all ready.
But we finally got
O'Shea half-whipped.
Like l said before,
whether you stay or go back. . .
. . .he's not gonna
wanna leave any witnesses.
That's why we're hoping
you'll ride with us.
Sure. We'll take you back.
Gerard.
How did you vote?
Majority rules.
GERARD:
O'Shea.
Might wanna take a look at this.
GERARD:
Hmm. About time.
GERARD: Move them out.
-Safe journey to you.
Blow them all to hell.
MAN:
Hyah!
Got out of there awful easy.
Seemed that way.
Chris, l'd like to set things straight.
lt's your life. None of my business.
Reckon you think
l'm in the wrong here.
What l think is you're already gone.
-l'm right here.
-For how long?
l need to know
l can depend on you, Vin.
Let me know when l can.
lsn't he an angel when he's sleeping?
That he is, ma'am.
Ma'am? lt's Alice, remember?
Oh, right.
Alice.
Or you can call me honey
or sweetheart. . .
. . .or my favorite, pumpkin.
Well, all right, Alice.
Of course, those are just
for our at-home names.
-What home?
-Why yours, of course.
You do want Eugene and l with you,
don't you?
Josiah, we have no place to go.
JOSlAH:
Hyah!
We'd make a wonderful family.
Well, uh. . .
. . .we would make heavenly alchemy
together, ma'am, that's for sure.
Hyah!
[MAN PLAYlNG HARMONlCA]
[CHATTERlNG AND LAUGHTER]
Hey, there laddie.
Quit panning me gold. Hey!
[GRUNTS
AND MUSlC STOPS]
Let that be a caution.
You got your pay.
The rest belongs to me.
Now, enjoy yourselves, huh?
[DlCKY LAUGHlNG ]
[MAN PLAYlNG HARMONlCA]
That is your land, Nathan. . .
. . .and l'll fight O'Shea all the way
to the Supreme Court for it.
Do you ever get tired
of kicking up dust?
What?
Ah, you're right.
My pecuniary interests do shame me.
-l'm glad something does.
-But with my--
With my greed and your property,
we could do some good.
You see, if we used the gold
to build a haven for gamblers--
A gambling hall?
From which a percentage of the profits
would be dedicated to your hospital.
Save your breath.
l already gave my share
of the homestead to Jack's widow.
Uh, would that be the, uh,
obviously fertile beauty. . .
. . .performing her ablutions?
-Ha. You just don't give up, do you?
-Huh?
NATHAN:
Never mind.
EZRA:
Pardon me, ma'am.
Uh, hello.
Uh, can l give you a hand with that?
How do you feel?
Are you staying, Charlotte?
Till you're on your feet.
lf it's not too late. . .
. . .can you forgive me?
l think we both could use
a little forgiveness.
Hey, you happen to see
that letter l'm penning to Casey?
Can't seem to find it anywhere. Buck
thought you might know where it is.
''My desire for you is like a thirst. . .
. . .that can't be quenched.
With love in my heart.
Yours forever. . .
. . .J.D. ''
They're sleeping like rocks.
Doubt we'll be as lucky tonight.
You are a fine man, Gerard.
And l care for you a great deal.
You know. . .
. . .it's funny how someone
can change so much. . .
. . .and yet 1 0 years later. . .
. . .the exact same words
come out of their mouths.
l'm sorry.
[POWDER MAN
LAUGHlNG MANlACALLY]
[POWDER MAN HUMMlNG ]
[POWDER MAN CACKLlNG ]
POWDER MAN:
Oh, hey! Ow.
[VlN GRUNTlNG ]
[POWDER MAN LAUGHlNG ]
[GRUNTlNG ]
[SlNGlNG ]
[HORSES WHlNNYlNG
AND THEN J.D. WHOOPS]
-You all right?
-Ugh, most of me.
-All right, come on.
NATHAN: Come on.
NATHAN:
Vin.
-You sure you're all right?
-Yeah, l feel better than l look.
-All right. Let's go find Dicky O'Shea.
-Yeah.
[CHATTERlNG ]
We're going with you.
Sometime, somewhere,
you gotta fight for what's yours.
-You're right, but we're going alone.
GERARD: Why?
-Don't think we're up to it?
-You got children to look after.
CHRlS:
And maybe a new wife.
ALlCE:
Josiah. No, don't go.
You should stay here with us
and let those other men go and fight.
lf anything happens to you--
Look at Josiah, helpless as a cow
in quicksand, ha-ha-ha.
ALlCE: Josiah, please be careful.
JOSlAH: l gotta go.
Anybody know how to use these?
They left us a whole bag.
BUCK: l'll teach you how, kid.
-Come on.
Let me see.
Deeper, there. l told you,
you got to dredge deeper.
BUCK: We're never gonna reach them
from up here.
Well, perhaps this will help.
The dear boy lent it to me.
Throw down your weapons.
[CHATTERlNG ]
Yeah, before we send you
into next year.
There's no quit in Dicky O'Shea.
l was hoping he'd say that.
[HORSES WHlNNYlNG ]
CHRlS: Hyah!
Come on, boys. Let's get after them.
[SHOUTlNG AND WHOOPlNG ]
J.D. :
Let's get them, boys.
[GRUNTlNG ]
CHRlS:
Where you running, Dicky?
Thought there were no quitting
in Dicky O' Shea.
All right. All right, gunfighter.
Here, you take the gold.
[CHATTERlNG ]
JOSlAH:
Excuse me, Eugene.
There's no need for that since we're
heading back to town with you.
Well, yeah, but not until l complete
my vow of silence and abstinence.
-Your what?
-Yeah. Sometimes they last for years.
You don't have to concern yourself
with that.
This one shouldn't take
more than about six, eight months.
Six or eight months?
JOSlAH:
Oh, you will love the simplicity of it.
You wear burlap robes. . .
. . .and eat only the things
you find on the ground.
You know, like twigs
and crawling creatures.
You really develop a taste
for grasshoppers. . .
-. . .and ants.
-Oh, my.
Well, you know, Josiah. . .
. . .would you mind unloading
the rest of that furniture?
l just-- l think it's best
if Eugene and l wait for you here.
-Oh.
-Thank you.
Oh.
JOSlAH: Eugene, get the rest
of that stuff off there, will you?
[WOMAN SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]
Thought l'd unpack for him
and then l'm ready to go.
How's he feeling?
Oh, he'll be up around in no time.
And l'll be in Brazil.
l ain't going to Brazil.
Ha. Vin, you don't have to do this.
l'm ready to go, l swear.
l've changed my mind about us,
Charlotte.
l'm sorry.
[SOBBlNG ]
-lt's best this way.
-No.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]
-The lady's hanging onto her gold, huh?
EZRA: Her gold?
Why, that river will barely
yield enough reward. . .
. . .to see them through
a disagreeable winter. Hyah!
You all packed up?
MARY:
Just about.
Mary. . .
. . .don't be so sad.
One of these days, l'll show up on your
doorstep and sweep you off your feet.
BlLLY:
Chris, Ma said l can ride with you.
Can l? Can l, please?
You bet, Billy. There you go.
You all right, Vin?
She belongs here.
lt's the life she's always wanted.
You know, Buck,
l still can't find that letter.
''My darling lover. ''
l thought l'd post it for you, J.D.
Give that to me.
BUCK:
And I Iove the taste
Of your rosy red lips
That sway of your hips
PreviousIy on the Magnificent Seven:
l've come with a generous offer
for you fine people.
You ain't getting our land.
Now get out.
-Sounded like a ''no'' to me, O'Shea.
-A rough road for those folks.
TRAVlS: Might not be a bad idea
if you seven stick by them.
We're going on a wagon train.
Those farmers never reach the land,
they can't live on it.
l'd like you to meet
my old friend Gerard.
A man would be blind
not to notice her charms.
Well, l ain't blind.
Gerard asked me to marry him.
You ought to smile more often.
lt kind of lights up your face.
That's ''missus. '' Mrs. Richmond.
l know it ain't right, but l can't pretend
there's nothing between us.
lt's getting out of hand.
CHARLOTTE:
Vin, ha-ha.
Vin, where are you?
[CHARLOTTE GlGGLlNG ]
Vin?
Vin? Quit teasing me, now.
[VlN ROARS
AND THEN CHARLOTTE SCREAMS]
[CHARLOTTE GASPlNG
AND LAUGHlNG ]
Aw, it can't be fair
that l'm this happy.
l just don't wanna be
the cause of anyone's suffering.
Especially not his.
He's had plenty enough.
lf you wanna go back. . .
. . .l ain't gonna try and stop you.
J.D. : Who's coming in?
CHRlS: Looks like Richmond.
He's been out there all night?
Afraid so.
CHRlS:
Any sign of them?
She's gone.
That bastard took my wife.
Well, l get the feeling
it wasn't a kidnapping.
He took her.
He's a dead man. Come on.
[MUTTERS]
Oh, boy.
Those sodbusters are gonna plant
a blooming garden on my property.
Where are those blasted gunmen
l paid for?
-They'll be here soon enough, Dicky.
-True.
[POWDER MAN SlNGlNG ]
Hey.
l'm short on patience, see.
How long?
Depends.
You want them scared or dead?
Which is quicker?
KATlE: Oh, here, give it to me.
Oh! Here it comes.
Give me a high one.
l brewed it till the spoon
stood up on its own.
-Thick as mud?
MARY: Mm-hm.
KATlE:
Here it comes. Look out.
-Perfect. Ha-ha.
-Ah, ha-ha.
KATlE:
Here it comes.
[CHlLDREN LAUGHlNG
AND THEN DOGS BARKlNG ]
KATlE:
Here it comes.
BlLLY:
Gotcha.
[MARY SlGHS]
This is what it's gonna be like,
you know?
What's that?
Our lives together.
lf you accept my proposal.
-l know l promised not to pressure you.
-No, no, that's all right. l'm just. . .
. . .thinking.
-About the newspaper?
-Yes.
You know, but it's more than that,
it's the town.
l've just worked so hard. . .
. . .and we've been trying to build
something special there.
MARY: A safe place
that people can call home.
That would be hard
to say goodbye to.
Mary.
l love you.
l wanna be with you. . .
. . .and l wanna to be a father
to your son.
Well, l can't think of a finer man
to raise my son.
[MARY LAUGHS]
But this is a very big decision. . .
. . .and l think l need
some more time to think about it.
All right.
GERARD:
All right.
[STRUMMlNG FlDDLE]
Throw it to me. Throw it to me.
l got this ball. l got the-- Hey.
[CHlLDREN GlGGLlNG ]
Go on. Come on, get it.
Go get it. Quick.
[BUCK LAUGHlNG ]
Hey, look at those two.
They're like brother and sister.
[BUCK SlGHS]
So, Chris, tell me, how much longer
you reckon we're gonna be stuck here?
-Getting itchy, Buck?
BUCK: Oh, yes.
This place is peaceful as a prayer
meeting and l miss the smell of beer.
l'll bet you do.
Well, let's give it till morning.
l still don't think we've seen
the last of Dicky O'Shea.
BUCK:
All right.
Hey, Chris, what's this wire?
BUCK:
Get away from there.
[POWDER MAN SlNGlNG ]
[PEOPLE SCREAMlNG ]
BUCK:
Stay inside the wagon!
[YELLlNG ]
[HORSE WHlNNlES]
Oh, Powder Man. Ho, ho!
[POWDER MAN
LAUGHS MANlACALLY]
Ouch.

Mom, where are you?
[CHATTERlNG

GERARD:
You okay?
MARY [MUMBLES] :
What happened?
JOSlAH: Everybody okay?
ALlCE: What's going on?
JOSlAH:
All right, son?
[BO Y WHlMPERlNG ]
JOSlAH:
All right. All right, now.
ALlCE: Are you all right?
-We're all in one piece, all in one piece.
[MEN GROANlNG ]
Billy?
-Billy?
GERARD: Katie?
-Billy, where are you?
-Katie?
BUCK:
l got Katie here.
GERARD: Katie.
MARY [SCREAMS] : Billy?
GERARD: lt's all right. lt's all right.
MARY: Oh, God.
Billy?
Momma!
BlLLY:
Momma. Ma.
MARY:
You all right?
-Nathan, when you can, l need help.
-Okay.
Everyone, stay inside the wagon.
BUCK: You all right, J.D.?
J.D. : Cowards!
J.D. : Why don't you show yourselves
and fight like men?
BUCK: J.D., calm down.
-Shut up, Buck.
DlCKY: You're between the rocks
and a hard place, lads.
Hand over the deed
and save yourselves.
J.D. :
Come on, show yourself, cowards.
Show yourself. Fight like men.
J.D. : Fight like men.
-Hold on. Hold on.
NATHAN:
Hold on. Stay with me.
GERARD:
Will.
We need to decide.
Decide then.
We're no match for dynamite.
NANCY:
We should leave while we can.
You can pull out if you want to,
but this is our land.
And l intend to stay right here.
lf we give the man the deed,
he'll let us go free.
Don't count on it. O'Shea won't
wanna leave any witnesses.
Hanging on to that deed could be
the only thing that keeps you alive.
Then we're agreed?
CROWD: Agreed.
-Yeah, agreed.
We will not be driven off
our land by outlaws.
CROWD:
That's right.
[CHATTERlNG ]
lf we sit here, they'll blow us all to hell.
Let's take the fight to them.
Yeah, let's see what they're made of
at close range.
All right. Sneak out of here
and find out what we're up against.
You hear me, Dicky?
We will not be driven off
our land by outlaws.
Worse than boots in a bog, this lot.
VlN: You ought to know,
my bag's always packed.
-l ain't one for settling down.
-You think that's gonna scare me off?
And l ain't no farmer.
l know who you are,
Mr. Wild-And-Woolly.
Something else
l ain't told you about me yet.
Say what you want.
My mind's made up about you.
There's a price on my head
for murder l didn't do.
Well, then you're innocent. . .
. . .which is a lot more
than can be said for me.
Vin, you are the kindest, boldest,
most exciting man l've ever known. . .
. . .and l will go to Mexico or Brazil
or anywhere you wanna run.
-l've been to Mexico.
-Then Brazil it is.
[DOG BARKlNG ]
EZRA: How's the fiddler?
-Nathan, Nathan.
[WHlSPERlNG ]
Nathan, don't let anybody take this land.
NATHAN: Mm-hm.
FlDDLER: l want you to have my land.
FlDDLER: l want you to have my land.
-l wouldn't feel right about that.
FlDDLER: No, no, no.
-No.
EZRA:
Nathan.
The man is facing his final summons.
Give him whatever it is he wants.
He wants to sign over his share to me
and l don't feel right about that.
Well, you never deny
a deathbed bequest.
Or his soul could be condemned
to wander the earth. . .
-. . .in search of another recipient.
-Oh.
EZRA:
Gentlemen.
We got them matched, man for man. . .
. . .but they got plenty of guns:
Remingtons and Winchesters alike.
And dynamite.
We head straight at them. . .
. . .they'll pick us off
like ducks on a pond.
lf l was O'Shea,
l'd hit while we're down.
l don't know what he's waiting for.
lf we figure a way in there,
your people willing to fight with us?
l don't know.
They're still reeling from the last attack.
But they didn't come
all this way to quit.
l know. You're right.
We're ready whenever you need us.
All right. That's it, then.
ALlCE:
Josiah.
ALlCE: Josiah.
EUGENE: Josiah.
ALlCE: Oh.
JOSlAH: Whoa.
The thought of you out there made
Eugene's skin get up and crawl all over.
-Are you all right? Did they get you?
-l'm fine. l'm fine. l'm fine.
Oh, don't you ever
disappear on us again.
-We get inconsolable with worry.
JOSlAH: Well--
ALlCE:
l'm so glad you're all right.
Vin?
Vin? Vin, quit teasing me, now.
FlFE:
Hello.
[CHARLOTTE SCREAMlNG
AND FlFE LAUGHlNG ]
[GRUNTlNG ]
MAN:
Whoa, whoa.
There's 20 gunslingers over that hill.
Fire and that'll bring them running.
VlN: Who are you riding for?
-Dicky O'Shea.
We're the reinforcements
to keep the sodbusters off.
That's my husband's land.
-Then what're you doing with him?
-Mind your own business.
You all right?
-l'm fine.
VlN: We gotta go back.
l can't go back. l'm scared.
l don't know if l'll have the strength
to leave again.
We gotta go warn them. Come on.
[EZRA SlGHS]
Sad day.
You know, ah, it's times like this. . .
. . .when the fiddler's mellifluous strings
will be sorely missed.
You know, someone should do
something to honor his memory.
l suppose so.
EZRA:
You know, this is just a thought. . .
. . .but perhaps you could build something
on the land he bequeathed.
A shrine or a business in his name.
This ain't about you
and that damn saloon, is it?
Lord, you got no shame, Ezra.
Actually, l was envisioning a medical
facility, but if you're not interested--
You wanna build a hospital?
Yes, in which instead of
being an itinerant sawbones. . .
. . .you would be
a full-fledged practicing physician.
Think about it.
Hmm.
Huh.
[J.D. SlGHS]
You'll clean the metal
right off of that.
Buck, you know better than
to walk up to a man with a gun.
You nervous, kid?
-No.
-Only a fool wouldn't be nervous.
That's what'll keep you alive.
You know, when those, uh--
When those bombs
went off earlier, l--
lt didn't matter how fast l was
or, uh, how brave l was. Ha.
lt was just dumb luck that l wasn't
standing right where that fiddler was.
Well. . .
. . .you'll still be dumb tonight,
so your luck ought to hold out.
-Serious.
-l know.
Go and get myself killed. . .
. . .and l'd never have had a chance
to ride with the Rangers. . .
. . .never have a chance
to see San Francisco.
Hell, l could make Casey a widow. . .
. . .before l even have a chance
to marry her.
l don't know about the Rangers. . .
. . .but at least Casey can console herself
knowing your true feelings.
Not quite.
You didn't tell her
how you felt about her?
No, l was, uh--
l mean, l was planning on it.
[J.D. CLEARS THROAT]
Well, you know soldiers. . .
. . .they pen letters
to their sweethearts.
Just showing them
they were thinking about them.
You might wanna take that lesson.
You can write, can't you?
[BUCK LAUGHS]
Buck, J.D., let's go.
Let's go.
MARY:
Chris, wait.
CHRlS: You back for good?
-Come to warn you.
O'Shea's hired 20 new guns.
They're right on our heels.
J.D. : Twenty more guns?
Oh, this will get interesting.
BUCK: We got time to take out his men
before they get here?
VlN:
Doubt it.
You got five seconds
to get off my land.
Drop the gun.
This doesn't concern you, Larabee.
Will, this is not
gonna change anything.
All right now, fella.
We're all in this together.
Let him go.
Mister, this ain't the time.
You wanna keep these people alive,
we got work to do.
Charlotte, come with me.
Let's get you cleaned up.
Josiah.
Find me as much powder as you can.
[GRUNTlNG ]
Here, let me.
l expect you consider me
a loose woman, running off like l did.
l don't judge you, Charlotte.
Then you'd be alone in that.
Charlotte, this life is harsh enough.
lf you get a chance at happiness,
l'd say grab it.
Because you never know
when it may come around again.
NATHAN:
How about lending a hand, Ezra?
[NATHAN GRUNTlNG ]
So, ah, have you given
any more thought. . .
. . .to gracing this wasteland
with a proper medical facility?
Why don't you
say what you really want?
Because l know it ain't a hospital.
-Why, Nathan, you doubt my sincerity?
-You better believe it.
All right.
There's gold in that ground.
And the anticipation of it
is burning a hole in my stomach.
Ezra, this is not your land.
lt never was and it never will be.
[EZRA YELLS]
-Yep, that works.
-That was not kind.
Not kind at all.
Buck, give me that.
Buck, give it to me.
''Dear Casey, how are you?''
-Give it to me.
-''l nearly got myself killed today.
Got to me thinking how much
l'd miss fishing with you. ''
-What is that?
-What?
You're not holding hands
with your sister here--
-l know that.
-Well, women like love talk.
What? ''Love talk?''
What's this love talk?
Well, l'll tell you. lt's something like:
I Iove the taste of your rosy red Iips
And that sweet honey nectar
Ooh, that sway of your hips
-Aw, Buck, that is awful. Give me that.
-That's pure gold.
Gotta remember that.
[J.D. LAUGHS]
Well, it's about time.
-Right here.
BlLLY: Over here.
Here, Billy.
-Unh. Oh.
J.D. : You can't catch with your face.
Thank you.
Maybe coming on this wagon train
wasn't one of my better ideas.
Well, to tell you the truth. . .
. . .without you, l don't think
we would have made it this far.
You're a special lady.
l've decided to marry Gerard.
He's a good man.
Yeah.
l think a boy deserves
a father growing up.
So do l.
Billy seems to get along
just fine with him.
-What about you?
-What about me?
Do you love him?
A little bit? Ha-ha.
CHARLOTTE:
What do you see out there?
Quiet so far.
Here, have a look.
What do you see?
Hmm, l see. . .
. . .Brazil.
But it's fading.
l don't know how much longer
l can see it.
Don't quit on me yet, Charlotte.
We'll get there.
[GUNFlRE]
Down! Everybody down!
CHRlS:
Everybody take cover.
[EUGENE SHRlEKS

CHRlS: Shirley, get the kid, take cover.
Take cover.

-Get down, everybody!

Kill them all. Kill them.
[GUNFlRE]
Hold your fire.
First shots, Vin and Buck's.
Hold it.
-Get down.
-l can shoot.
Go on. Get down.
Wait for the pile of mud.
Hold it.
Buck, fire.

Hold still now.
RlCHMOND:

NATHAN:
Get my bag.
-l'm going to join your da, Dicky.
-You take that smile off your face.
You're going nowhere.
Nowhere, you hear me?
l wanna thank you for all you've done.
Job's not over.
-O'Shea will be back.
-With more new men.
The children can't stand another fight.
O'Shea. . . .
O'Shea can have this place.
Gerard.
Wait, now. You're giving up now?
We took a vote.
These folks don't wanna risk it.
Too many dead all ready.
But we finally got
O'Shea half-whipped.
Like l said before,
whether you stay or go back. . .
. . .he's not gonna
wanna leave any witnesses.
That's why we're hoping
you'll ride with us.
Sure. We'll take you back.
Gerard.
How did you vote?
Majority rules.
GERARD:
O'Shea.
Might wanna take a look at this.
GERARD:
Hmm. About time.
GERARD: Move them out.
-Safe journey to you.
Blow them all to hell.
MAN:
Hyah!
Got out of there awful easy.
Seemed that way.
Chris, l'd like to set things straight.
lt's your life. None of my business.
Reckon you think
l'm in the wrong here.
What l think is you're already gone.
-l'm right here.
-For how long?
l need to know
l can depend on you, Vin.
Let me know when l can.
lsn't he an angel when he's sleeping?
That he is, ma'am.
Ma'am? lt's Alice, remember?
Oh, right.
Alice.
Or you can call me honey
or sweetheart. . .
. . .or my favorite, pumpkin.
Well, all right, Alice.
Of course, those are just
for our at-home names.
-What home?
-Why yours, of course.
You do want Eugene and l with you,
don't you?
Josiah, we have no place to go.
JOSlAH:
Hyah!
We'd make a wonderful family.
Well, uh. . .
. . .we would make heavenly alchemy
together, ma'am, that's for sure.
Hyah!
[MAN PLAYlNG HARMONlCA]
[CHATTERlNG AND LAUGHTER]
Hey, there laddie.
Quit panning me gold. Hey!
[GRUNTS
AND MUSlC STOPS]
Let that be a caution.
You got your pay.
The rest belongs to me.
Now, enjoy yourselves, huh?
[DlCKY LAUGHlNG ]
[MAN PLAYlNG HARMONlCA]
That is your land, Nathan. . .
. . .and l'll fight O'Shea all the way
to the Supreme Court for it.
Do you ever get tired
of kicking up dust?
What?
Ah, you're right.
My pecuniary interests do shame me.
-l'm glad something does.
-But with my--
With my greed and your property,
we could do some good.
You see, if we used the gold
to build a haven for gamblers--
A gambling hall?
From which a percentage of the profits
would be dedicated to your hospital.
Save your breath.
l already gave my share
of the homestead to Jack's widow.
Uh, would that be the, uh,
obviously fertile beauty. . .
. . .performing her ablutions?
-Ha. You just don't give up, do you?
-Huh?
NATHAN:
Never mind.
EZRA:
Pardon me, ma'am.
Uh, hello.
Uh, can l give you a hand with that?
How do you feel?
Are you staying, Charlotte?
Till you're on your feet.
lf it's not too late. . .
. . .can you forgive me?
l think we both could use
a little forgiveness.
Hey, you happen to see
that letter l'm penning to Casey?
Can't seem to find it anywhere. Buck
thought you might know where it is.
''My desire for you is like a thirst. . .
. . .that can't be quenched.
With love in my heart.
Yours forever. . .
. . .J.D. ''
They're sleeping like rocks.
Doubt we'll be as lucky tonight.
You are a fine man, Gerard.
And l care for you a great deal.
You know. . .
. . .it's funny how someone
can change so much. . .
. . .and yet 1 0 years later. . .
. . .the exact same words
come out of their mouths.
l'm sorry.

NATHAN: Come on.
NATHAN:
Vin.
-You sure you're all right?
-Yeah, l feel better than l look.
-All right. Let's go find Dicky O'Shea.
-Yeah.
[CHATTERlNG ]
We're going with you.
Sometime, somewhere,
you gotta fight for what's yours.
-You're right, but we're going alone.
GERARD: Why?
-Don't think we're up to it?
-You got children to look after.
CHRlS:
And maybe a new wife.
ALlCE:
Josiah. No, don't go.
You should stay here with us
and let those other men go and fight.
lf anything happens to you--
Look at Josiah, helpless as a cow
in quicksand, ha-ha-ha.
ALlCE: Josiah, please be careful.
JOSlAH: l gotta go.
Anybody know how to use these?
They left us a whole bag.
BUCK: l'll teach you how, kid.
-Come on.
Let me see.
Deeper, there. l told you,
you got to dredge deeper.
BUCK: We're never gonna reach them
from up here.
Well, perhaps this will help.
The dear boy lent it to me.
Throw down your weapons.
[CHATTERlNG ]
Yeah, before we send you
into next year.
There's no quit in Dicky O'Shea.
l was hoping he'd say that.
[HORSES WHlNNYlNG ]
CHRlS: Hyah!
Come on, boys. Let's get after them.
[SHOUTlNG AND WHOOPlNG ]

Let's get them, boys.

Where you running, Dicky?
Thought there were no quitting
in Dicky O' Shea.

Here, you take the gold.
[CHATTERlNG ]
JOSlAH:
Excuse me, Eugene.
There's no need for that since we're
heading back to town with you.
Well, yeah, but not until l complete
my vow of silence and abstinence.
-Your what?
-Yeah. Sometimes they last for years.
You don't have to concern yourself
with that.
This one shouldn't take
more than about six, eight months.
Six or eight months?
JOSlAH:
Oh, you will love the simplicity of it.
You wear burlap robes. . .
. . .and eat only the things
you find on the ground.
You know, like twigs
and crawling creatures.
You really develop a taste
for grasshoppers. . .
-. . .and ants.
-Oh, my.
Well, you know, Josiah. . .
. . .would you mind unloading
the rest of that furniture?
l just-- l think it's best
if Eugene and l wait for you here.
-Oh.
-Thank you.
Oh.
JOSlAH: Eugene, get the rest
of that stuff off there, will you?
[WOMAN SPEAKlNG lNDlSTlNCTLY]
Thought l'd unpack for him
and then l'm ready to go.
How's he feeling?
Oh, he'll be up around in no time.
And l'll be in Brazil.
l ain't going to Brazil.
Ha. Vin, you don't have to do this.
l'm ready to go, l swear.
l've changed my mind about us,
Charlotte.
l'm sorry.
[SOBBlNG ]
-lt's best this way.
-No.
[lNAUDlBLE DlALOGUE]
-The lady's hanging onto her gold, huh?

Why, that river will barely
yield enough reward. . .
. . .to see them through
a disagreeable winter. Hyah!
You all packed up?
MARY:
Just about.
Mary. . .
. . .don't be so sad.
One of these days, l'll show up on your

Can l? Can l, please?
You bet, Billy. There you go.
You all right, Vin?
She belongs here.
lt's the life she's always wanted.
You know, Buck,
l still can't find that letter.
''My darling lover. ''
l thought l'd post it for you, J.D.
Give that to me.

Of your rosy red lips
That sway of your hips
