We can be pretty sure he's on it.
Time's getting short.

:48:07
- Parson, you got anything to say?
- I don't know.

:48:12
The commandment says
''thou shalt not kill''

:48:15
but we hire men to do it for us.
:48:17
The right and the wrong
seem pretty clear here,

:48:21
but if I should tell my people
to go out and kill,

:48:24
and maybe get themselves killed, I'm sorry,
I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.

:48:32
All right, I'll say this.
:48:34
What this town owes Will Kane, it can never
pay with money. Don't forget it.

:48:39
He's the best marshal we've ever had,
and maybe the best we'll ever have.

:48:43
So if Miller comes back here today,
it's our problem, not his.

:48:48
It's our problem
because this is our town.

:48:51
We made it with our own hands,
out of nothing.

:48:54
If we want to keep it decent
we gotta think mighty clear today.

:48:58
We gotta have the courage to do what is right,
no matter how hard it is.

:49:03
All right! There's gonna be fighting
when Kane and Miller meet.

:49:08
And somebody's going to get hurt,
that's for sure.

:49:11
Now... People up north
are thinking about this town.

:49:16
Thinking about sending money down here,
to put up stores and factories.

:49:22
It would mean a lot to this town, an awful lot,
:49:26
but if they'll read about shooting in the streets,
what are they going to think?

:49:32
I'll tell you. They'll think
this is just another wide-open town,

:49:37
and everything we worked for
will be wiped out.

:49:40
In one day, this town
will be sat back five years,

:49:45
and I don't think we can let that happen.
:49:48
Mind you, you all know
how I feel about this man.

:49:52
He's a mighty brave man, a good man.
He didn't have to come back today.

:49:58
And for his sake, and a sake of this town,
I wish he hadn't.
