:17:02
Seven of us went into town.
Do you recall?
:17:05
None too clearly.
:17:08
We shot up the town.
:17:14
Seems an old man took a bullet.
:17:17
We thought it was nothing
but a lot of broken glass, but...
:17:21
seems now it's a bit more.
:17:24
The hard point of the matter is there's
a lawman, name of Maddox, in Sabbath.
:17:31
Figures to take us back
and stand trial for murder.
:17:34
(laughter)
:17:36
One lawman?
:17:39
Ryan thinks he's enough.
:17:41
Cotton Ryan.
:17:45
Choctaw, you may not think much of Ryan
as he stands now, but...
:17:51
in his day, you couldn't walk
in the same sun as him.
:17:57
- Where's Marc Corman?
- Marc Corman's dead.
:18:00
Corman's dead
cos he called short on this Maddox.
:18:05
Marc Corman's dead?
:18:07
I called you here
to hear what you have to say.
:18:12
Well, Vern?
:18:15
I don't know, Mr Bronson.
I don't want trouble.
:18:19
I appreciate you asking for our opinion,
:18:21
but it seems to me
that you got some choice and I don't.
:18:24
I can't go back to Bannock. If I do,
my land dries up and blows away.
:18:27
My beef gets scattered
into the high country.
:18:31
I don't have the hands
to keep my spread tied down.
:18:34
You know I'd see you right.
:18:36
I'd send some of the boys
and give my mark to cover your losses.
:18:40
Thanks, and I know you mean it,
but I have to work my own.
:18:44
Well, what do you suggest, Vern?
:18:47
I don't suggest anything
and I don't aim to do anything.
:18:51
- Just stay close and mind what's mine.
- And if he comes after you?
:18:55
- I'll stop him if I can.
- Stop him first and make sure.
