00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.000

<v Speaker 3>Page, Oh, that don't make no difference. You don't know

73

74
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 3>you this, Luke, I never told nobody. But my family

75
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 3>died back in Texas when I was just a little schaeffer,

76
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 3>and his folks took me in. Well, a few years

77
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:39.120
<v Speaker 3>ago there was a killing. Nobody ever proved who did it,

78
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 3>but he threw suspicion on me, and after that, folks

79
00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:46.040
<v Speaker 3>just didn't want me around. That's why I came out here.

80
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>If you didn't do it, why did you run away? Page?

81
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, what would you do? He was top dog, slick

82
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 3>with cards and smart with the gals. I was just

83
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.519
<v Speaker 3>the poor kid, cousin. You can't draw to an inside

84
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>straight like.

153
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>He should be. In two years. He's built it from

154
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.879
<v Speaker 1>nothing to around nineteen hundred dollars and stuck and equipment.

155
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.920
<v Speaker 3>There you hear that, burly. I may not be the

156
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 3>biggest pee in the pot, but I'm.

157
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 4>In it pretty small part seems to me. All right now,

158
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 4>I call it your fifty and raise it three hundred.

159
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 4>What does your little outfit say about.

160
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 1>That page for the nine just.

161
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Three hundred? Well, now that requires a little study.

162
00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:58.679
<v Speaker 1>Drop out page. Let him have it?

163
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:01.519
<v Speaker 3>No, not so far as Luke. You hold on. Now

00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 3>he's got two aces, a king and a douce showing,

165
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 3>and I got me two kings and ace and eight spot.

166
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.360
<v Speaker 3>Now that makes the whole card. Tell a difference.

00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:21.039
<v Speaker 4>No, yes, sure, come on, put up a shut up cousin.

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Turn your cards over, page.

170
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Now you heard what my little outfits work, Burly, Page,

224
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:25.440
<v Speaker 1>in Page's case, he did he Well, what I mean

227
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 5>Isn't that just like a man?

228
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.759

00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.519
<v Speaker 5>go out and drink and gamble on the very days

237
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:58.840
<v Speaker 4>many excuses.

239
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, now, miss I see you know the name. Could

240
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 4>that be maybe because you're a friend of my young cousin,

241
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.200
<v Speaker 4>Paige Webster.

242
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 5>Why yes, then.

<v Speaker 4>I'm right happy to make your acquaintance. Miss. I'm Burley Webster,

244
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:16.879
<v Speaker 4>Page's cousin from Texas.

<v Speaker 4>If you'll excuse me being so bold, miss Cordell.

<v Speaker 1>Cordell is engaged to her cousin.

250
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:34.240
<v Speaker 4>I must say he picked himself to put his Philly

251
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:34.840
<v Speaker 4>in the corral.

252
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.840

<v Speaker 1>to you, slaughter.

<v Speaker 4>I thought you'd be in bed by now.

279
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.639
<v Speaker 1>I've been waiting up for you. Where's miss Cordel?

280

<v Speaker 4>Don't see that's any your business, but she's safe home

281
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.600
<v Speaker 4>for the night. Meaning to Mars another day.

282
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 1>You aren't going to be here tomorrow, Webster.

283
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:19.039
<v Speaker 4>What'd you say?

284
00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 1>You're leaving Tombstone right now?

285
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:21.879
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

286
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Amma, yes you recognize this deck of cards?

287
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

288
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 1>What about? This is the deck you used when you

289
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.279
<v Speaker 1>beat your cousin out of his outfit. It's a marked deck.

290
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Word you find in your room upstairs?

291
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.360
<v Speaker 4>What car you got going through my stuff?

292
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I never gone through Amend's belongings before without his permission,

293
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>I made an exception in your case.

294
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.039
<v Speaker 4>Well, I've got a good notion.

295
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>To what.

296
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Webster. I'm going to give you a choice. There's a

297
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.799
<v Speaker 1>saddled horse at the hitching bar out back with your

298
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.799
<v Speaker 1>bags strapped on. You get on it and head east

299
00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.720
<v Speaker 1>out of Tombstone and don't look back, or you get

300
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>set to draw.

301
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:12.839
<v Speaker 4>Sure you'd like that, wouldn't you, Slaughter? You'd be in

302
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 4>the fastest gun in the territory.

303
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 1>Will it be well?

304
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:23.480

00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:25.319
<v Speaker 4>in getting ruffled up over it.

306
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Which will it be?

327
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:01.559
<v Speaker 5>Wanting mister Slaughter, warning.

328
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Miss Cardell, I'm sorry to disturbed. All right, he's all right.

329
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Why do you care.

330
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm worried and worried about him.

331
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:11.599
<v Speaker 1>You weren't talking that way last night.

332
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:13.880
<v Speaker 5>I know, but that was last night, and I've often

333
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.279
<v Speaker 5>thought about it. I haven't slept a wink, mister Slaughter.

334
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:19.319
<v Speaker 5>I was wrong saying what I did. Page did me

335
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:21.160
<v Speaker 5>in the honor of asking me to be his wife,

336
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:26.039
<v Speaker 5>and I was proud to accept. Mister Slaughter, that's well,

337
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.839
<v Speaker 5>that's sacred. A man and a woman have got to

338
00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:35.640
<v Speaker 5>forgive each other many things before their really husband and wife.

339
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, well, I love him, mister Slaughter.

340
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:42.119
<v Speaker 1>What about his cousin?

341
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Oh him, he's nothing but a fast talking ladies man.

342
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.519
<v Speaker 5>Page is worth five of him.

343
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.640
<v Speaker 1>That's just what I wanted to hear, Miss Cardell. I'm

344
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna ask you to do something. What, mister Slaughter, I

345
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>want you to be an actress.

346
00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Mister Slaughter, it's.

347
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Just for a few minutes, for Page's.

<v Speaker 5>Sake, all right, I'll do anything for him.

349
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 1>All right. Now, here's what I want you to do.

350
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Be down at the sand hills, as.

<v Speaker 1>you'll find some sheep hurders will help you out.

362
00:20:49.599 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 3>But look, all I'm asking is to borrow the money

<v Speaker 3>you promised to lend me.

364
00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you're good for it, Paige.

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, if that's the way you feel, I just get
