:41:00
Let me tell you what we're up against.
:41:02
What are we up against?
:41:04
There have been five sheriffs
in the last six months.
:41:07
Good hunting.
:41:08
That's just about what it amounts to,
and each of them died an unnatural death.
:41:12
- Killed.
- Who done it?
:41:15
There's no definite proof,
but we suspect Badger and his men.
:41:18
You mean Badger's a killer?
:41:20
All I know is that Badger's the kind
of a man that will stop at nothing...
:41:23
to further his own ends.
:41:25
He will, huh? Glad you told me.
:41:29
Tell me more.
:41:31
Why, there's no such thing
as law and order in this town.
:41:33
Decent citizens live in fear of their lives.
:41:36
That ain't right.
There should be a law against it.
:41:39
And another thing.
:41:40
I've been trying for a long time
to raise funds so that we could have a little...
:41:44
schoolhouse.
:41:46
So that the youngsters could have
some civilizing influence.
:41:50
You mean the kids of this town
don't get any book learning?
:41:55
One of the ladies in the town teaches a class
in a little shack that we fixed up...
:42:00
but she's not a regular teacher
and she doesn't handle them very well.
:42:05
They're bad boys and they get pretty unruly.
:42:08
So was I,
when I went to school back in Chicago.
:42:12
But I guess I grew out of it. Or did I?
:42:19
All I hope is that someday we can build this
into a fine a city...
:42:22
that a person would be proud to live in.
:42:25
I see what you mean.
:42:27
You're a man with ideals.
:42:32
I guess I better be going
while you've still got them.
:42:37
- Miss Flower Belle?
- Yes?
:42:38
I wondered if you would care
to visit our little school with me tomorrow.
:42:43
Coming from a big city like Chicago,
you might be able to offer us...
:42:46
some suggestions, you know,
for improvements.
:42:49
It's kind of against my principles,
but I will go with you.
:42:53
Thanks. Can I see you to the hotel?
:42:57
Just to the front door.
The Sheriff is very jealous.
