Lawman

: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.

:19:01

I didn't kill anybody that night in Bannock.
I've got no quarrel with the law.

:19:06

- You, Choctaw?
- You give the orders, Mr Bronson.

:19:10

- I asked for an opinion.
- It was an accident.

:19:14

If that lawman wants to lean hard,
then I say we set him running.

:19:18

I go along with Choctaw.

:19:21

But, as he says, Mr Bronson,
you give the orders.

:19:26

Hurd?

:19:29

Well, I'd like to hear
what you have to say, Vince.

:19:33

Want your say, Harv?

:19:35

I say we tell the lawman
to peddle his law in Bannock.

:19:40

You got all the guns you need,
Mr Bronson.

:19:43

Maddox needs a lesson taught.

:19:46

Can I say something, Pa?

:19:48

I was never in Bannock, but it seems to
me if Pa is willing to pay for the damages,

:19:54

give the old man's family something,
then this Maddox has no cause to push.

:19:58

If he does, I think Harv's right.
