You know had it?

I know that?
Speaker 8: I didn't notice?
Speaker 1: I see? Well, mister Hogate, tell you what I'll do
for two hundred dollars, I'll see that you're delivered alive
to stand trial.
Speaker 8: You call out a bargain man.
Speaker 1: There's a chance at the fair trial, but there's no
debating a lynching bee.
Speaker 7: All right, you'll get the money when I step into
the courtroom.
Speaker 1: Just to be sure, I'll choose somebody to hold the fee.
When's the trial, shriff.
Speaker 3: I, sir, could judge you do it at the end
of the week. We'll beat him thereby a day maybe.
Speaker 1: And what are the chances of my employer here being lynched?
Speaker 3: I reckon somebody's going to try.
Speaker 1: Will you stop it?
Speaker 4: That'd be a hard decision to make, But I can
assume we're on the same side.
Speaker 1: Harty, sure, I reckon. That puts two of us on
the side of the right.
Speaker 3: Now, don't crow, mister.
Speaker 4: Them ain't good odds with the whole town on the
other side.
Speaker 8: I never did like this town.
Speaker 3: Don't worry. You won't be here long.
Speaker 1: At least there's not a mob to meet us. No,
just the Benders over there. Who were they?
Speaker 4: Max Bender's daughter Amy? The town is named after the
old man. I had a Max, Miss Amy, And you
know we'd come in on this train.
Speaker 9: We waited on every train. I wanted to see the
man who killed my son.
Speaker 3: He's going to have a trial, Max.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my brother didn't have a trial or a smart
lawyer who might trick him to freedom.
Speaker 11: Or get him off with a prison sent but.
Speaker 1: The man who killed him will have a trial.
Speaker 11: Who are you?
Speaker 1: Paladin's my name. Mister Holgate hired me to see that
he isn't lynched.
Speaker 11: So the gunfighters are all for law and order. Now
if the pay is right.
Speaker 1: No, miss bender, you don't buy a law and order
you'll fight for him.
Speaker 3: Yes, once you have it, you don't throw it away.

I know you'll do what's right.
Speaker 1: I think he will, miss and so you.

Speaker 7: Yeah, but w's swarming around soon enough.
Speaker 3: You remember you got a job telling him.
Speaker 1: To keep you from getting lynched. I'll remember, gentlemen, just
passing by and saw the light, figured you were back
out in mister coombe Olgate.
Speaker 3: You didn't waste no time.
Speaker 1: Combs my clients, and I'm gonna start preparing on defense.
Oh who are you?
Speaker 8: He's all right, I've hired his gun names paladin.
Speaker 1: Oh well, now if we can have some privacy, I
sure prisoner's got a right to have counsel with his
law I rap on the.
Speaker 3: Bars when you throw.
Speaker 1: We still have some business details to arrange. Hold, Kate,
you tell your lawyer to turn the fee over to
the person nine there, and I'll tell him. Sure if

cuts in your office.
Speaker 3: I'm all right, then I'll be using the other.
Speaker 1: I thought it was settled. We're on the same side.
I'd just like to be sure.
Speaker 3: Any place I can lock this up, roll top desk.
Speaker 1: He's got a key, go ad, little dude.
Speaker 3: H Well, what's in that bag anyways?
Speaker 1: Just some of the tools of my trade.
Speaker 3: What kind of tools is that?
Speaker 1: The kind that might help quiet a lynch mob.
Speaker 3: We'll give him holgate, that'll quiet him.
Speaker 1: I thought we were on the same side. We are.
I just like to be sure which one is the
bender storm at Kouhmbs That one up there, there's a
noose hanging out in front. Yes, that's Amy's doing, and
she's stirring the pot until it boils over. I never
suspected she has such a mean streak in her. She
was always such a nice, quiet girl. I guess it's
frustrating for a woman she can't strap on a gun
and settle an affair like this with her own hands. Oh,
I hope this won't take too long. I have more
important things to do, like figuring a way to save
your client something like that. Yes, shall we go in.
Speaker 3: Bring with.
Speaker 11: Well, what do you want here.
Speaker 1: I want you to hold some money for me, mister Kombs.
It is two hundred dollars. You're not to give it
to me until Holgate steps into the courtroom for trial.
If he dies before then return it to Kombs.
Speaker 10: You think I'll hold your blood money, blood money.
Speaker 1: For giving a man alive, I'll hold that for you dead.
Thank you, mister Vendor. Give him the money, mister Krooms.
Speaker 3: Well here you are, Max Dad.
Speaker 11: If you won't help us, at least stay out of it.
Speaker 8: Are Can I do that?
Speaker 1: Amy?
Speaker 3: I live in this town too.
Speaker 1: Good day, mister Paladin. Good day, sir Any Your father
is a very wise man. Eh, excuse me. I guess
you don't need me anymore. I'll be in my office,
Paladin is Amy looked.
Speaker 10: Mister Paladin. I just want Holgate to pay for my
brother's murder. I don't want anybody else to get hurt.
Speaker 1: So far, no argument.
Speaker 10: Now, Sheriff's Wink's not going to shoot at his friends,
so no one will harm him.
Speaker 3: No, I'm that leaves just you.
Speaker 11: But you're liable to kill somebody and be killed and turning.
Speaker 10: There's no telling where it'll stop, it would seem, so
you're doing it for money. What if I gave you
more money to leave town?
Speaker 1: Now that's a definite offer.
Speaker 11: I take it cash. I'll get it right.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I'm afraid not switching asides is most unethical.
Speaker 11: I'm esical.
Speaker 1: Did you ever see a lynching missbender? No, your imagination
would fall far short of the truth. No matter what
he's done, Holgate won't be handed over to feed the
animal instincts of the mob.
Speaker 11: I told you I don't want anybody hurt, but here
you may. Yes, Clinton, you need any help.
Speaker 1: No, the trouble with a lynching miss bender. You can't
have it ordered up all dainty, neat like a yard
of lace. It's something that cowards get whiskeyed up for
and mumble over and wind up screaming in the gutters
of a dark night.
Speaker 11: Go On, go on, get out of here. There's nothing
you can do to stop it.
Speaker 1: Isn't the lists you take her advice get out of town.
A double blast from this shotgun, or to cut a
man in half. That man won't be any better than
a man with a forty five bullet between his eyes.
Speaker 3: He's room enough out there in front gun fighter for
another nows.
Speaker 1: So there is and earth enough to carry every man
who comes to me with a rope.
Speaker 2: Men, think how thrilled your wife would be if you
made her a bedside table that swings on hinges like
a gate and brings everything within easy reach. Or a
beautiful built in dispenser for paper towels, aluminum foil, waxed
paper and plastic graph or narrow folding doors to replace
that wide closet door that blocks the hallway. These are

Speaker 8: What's going on out there?
Speaker 1: I and hear them and gathering down front of the
Bender's store getting steamed up. They'll be moving before long.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you fellas, don't be napping.
Speaker 1: We won't.
Speaker 8: What you're looking at me like that?
Speaker 1: For? What are you thinking? Just wondering what you're thinking?
You're mighty cheerful for a man about to face a
lynch mob.
Speaker 3: But I got confidence in you in the share.
Speaker 8: I think he'll give him much for coming.
Speaker 1: Well, see in court.
Speaker 8: You better so you don't get paid?
Speaker 1: What is it? Wait here?
Speaker 3: You have a luck.
Speaker 1: Funny thing?
Speaker 3: See him?
Speaker 4: Two riders just leaving Combs's place, heading down the side street,
trailing a third.
Speaker 1: Horse, and they looked like two cowboys.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and William McKeith Holgates friends. Now what would they
be doing at his lawyers?
Speaker 1: I got a better question to chew on. Who do
they figure to ride that extra horse? Uh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, I reckon? That question is gonna have to wait.
They're getting by ready to move. There's another shot going
into clouse.
Speaker 3: Paladin.
Speaker 1: No thanks. Incidentally, Miss Benders says, you won't use that
shotgun against your friends out there? Miss Bender's mistaking sheriff.
I'll buy you a drink. As if this is over.
Speaker 6: Maybe, why looks like everybody's here, I'd say.
Speaker 3: We're all ready.
Speaker 11: What's the matter, Amy, nothing, nothing's the matter. You'll bring him.
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, so you can put the rope around his neck.
Speaker 3: You just wait here and we'll bring.
Speaker 8: Him to you dead.
Speaker 11: What you doing with that gun?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: Max, you change your mind.
Speaker 9: I'm going to the jail, stand beside the sheriff, and
that fell a palette against his mom.
Speaker 3: Hold on, Max, you're getting turned around.
Speaker 12: From the beginning, we had decency and law in this town.
Speaker 8: Now you're gonna wipe it all out one night.
Speaker 3: We're doing this for your son.
Speaker 8: Oh, don't choose my boy's this juice.
Speaker 3: Get out of my way.
Speaker 9: You better stay here and take it easy, Max, Now
give me that right, never mind, sheriff will give me another.
Speaker 3: I said, stay here, cands off me.
Speaker 2: Ye, don't all right?
Speaker 6: Now, come on, let's go, let's do it.
Speaker 1: I'm dead, I'm all right.
Speaker 8: But Amy, what have you done?
Speaker 11: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know it would be
like this.
Speaker 3: Here they are. Tellad you better get that chuck gun.
Speaker 1: I've got something better in the desk.
Speaker 6: Are your pack I'm warning you.
Speaker 3: Hey, Pala, what are you doing opening the door? Don't wait?
All right, but hold it.
Speaker 1: Hold. Let no need breaking down doors when you can
open them with dynamite. All right, now, who wants it,
you big fella?
Speaker 12: No, well, nobody wants it here?
Speaker 3: Yeh wait the dynamite?
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 3: Just putting out the fuse?
Speaker 1: There was a long, slow burning one.
Speaker 3: Crowd is still rude.
Speaker 1: I don't blame they won't collect the game mob courage
of the momentary thing. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.
Speaker 3: Streets, clean, deserted ship over there. Yeah, there's Clint. Let's
go after and Pounder.
Speaker 1: You go ahead. I got a client who thinks she
doesn't have to go to court.
Speaker 3: Oh nail, Clint. We can tie this thing up.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, and I'm going back and check Holgate. Will it, Willy?
What's happened?
Speaker 8: I can't hear nothing.

Speaker 1: That's why you hired me, That's what there's no call.
Speaker 3: You get mixed up in this.
Speaker 7: You just collect your money and forget about it.
Speaker 1: I couldn't do that. I can't collect until you walk
into the courtroom.
Speaker 3: Said Taladan. I'll make it a thousand.
Speaker 8: You just walk away.
Speaker 1: You don't understand. You hired me to get you into
that courtroom, and that's where you're going to be tried
for murder, Miss Taladan. Oh, hello Amy, mister Bender. Here's
your money, Paladin, two hundred dollars. Thank you.
Speaker 9: Now that holgate in court. There's a lot of people
in this town that are grateful to you today. It
is not in their nature to come out and admit it.
Speaker 10: Well, I I'm I'm admitting it and with such a
long face.
