Wait a minute.

Andrew Rines (4:03)

Okay, Chester. Okay, now, just simmer down. We don't need to get so hard, Nose. Well, you are to be ashamed. Big fellers like you push an old man around. We didn't mean no harm. We was just trying to get him to stop ragging at us to quit his talking. It don't make no difference to me what you was trying to do. Go on, get so you can't walk down the street without he stops you and talks your ear off. I said get. You hurt, Carla? No, no, I ain't hurt. It'd take more than them young buzzards to hurt me. What was they pushing you around for? Oh, just trying to tell them something, that's all. Young folks ain't got the gumption to listen when to do them the most good. Well, they got shot down easy. Shot? Who's gonna shoot em? Or anybody that draw on the way they is handling them guns. I didn't hear no shooting. Of course she didn't. There wasn't none. They was talking about a fast draw. They've been shot down shore, Charlie. Was you trying to tell them how to do it? Young ones, they just don't listen. You try to tell them, but they just don't listen. Well, now, you just sat there quiet like they won't bother you no more. Rio Joe to have got both of them before they even slapped the lizard the way they doing it. Yeah, well, sure, Rio Joe would have outdrew anybody, but that goes back the way he's doing it. Young, smart Alexey won't listen at all. Hey, they kind of winged you and I, didn't they? Yeah. Yes, maybe they did. There was a few elbows flying around. Well, you better put some beefsteak on it. Man needs his eyesight these days. Seeing's a good part of shooting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Well, all right, then. You. You just sit there, Charlie, now, and you let me know if you get bothered some more. Ain't nobody willing to listen no more. More, no matter how much you got to tell them. Yeah. Well, I. I'll see you sometime. Now, you. You take care of yourself, Charlie. Ain't nobody willing to listen. Ah, there you are. Thank you, Kitty. Oh, thank you. Can't you sit down with us? Maybe for a few minutes? All right. Good. I gotta check over the whiskey supply with Sam pretty soon. Well, now, I wouldn't want to interfere with that. It'd be a terrible tragedy for Dodge if a saloon ran dry. Yeah, most of these men would rather see the river go dry. Well, you're both sounding pretty high and mighty for a couple of fellows who aren't exactly tea Toler. Oh, just philosophizing, Kitty. Nothing personal. How come Matt buying you two bears, Doc? Because I won two games of checkers. That's right. He's slowing up, kiddie. Oh, he's slowing up. Yeah, I've noticed. Oh, doc. Yeah? Mind if I see you for a minute? Well, sure not, Chester. Sit up. Well, no, thank you. I think we might go on over to your office, Chester. Look at me, Chester. Almost kidding. What? You got a black eye. Let me say that, Chester. You sure have. And it's a beaut. That's right, I guess. Doc, you. You got something put on it. Man ought to protect his eyesight, folks. A little late for that, Chester. You should have ducked. Yeah. Where'd you pick that up? Just. Well, I was just trying to help, that's all. You just don't pay a body to try and do a good deed anymore. What were you trying to help? That old Charlie. What's his name? Sits out in front of the Dodge House talking to anybody who listens. Charlie, don't tell me he gave you that eye. No, Doc. No, of course not. Company. Young Smart Alex was picking on him, and I mixed in it and come out with this. It doesn't look like you accomplished much. Now, stop teasing him, you two. That was a nice thing you did, Chester. Thank you. I run off all right, but the old coup. Bound to get into more trouble. Oh, how's that? Why, he keeps telling folk what there are to do. And you know, Ms. Dillmay, too many people who wants to listen to an old man like him tell them how to draw a gun? Draw a gun? He's always talking about the gunfighters of olden days. And folks get tired of listening to that. Well, you better not listen either, Chester. You only got one more eye. Now, don't pay any attention to him, Chester. I'll fix that eye up for you. Yeah, a little Raw meat, Chitty, that. That's about the best thing. Yeah, and a few less jokes. I never did know what was so funny about a black eye. Come on, Chester. Now, you see, boy, you gotta be careful about how you work the barrel. You gotta have a good true barrel on your gun. You sure can whittle nice, mister. Oh, well, boy, it don't take much to do some whittling. All you gotta do is have a sharp knife and remembrance in your hand for what you're making. Well, you got a remembrance for that gun, mister? Oh, my. Like I have for the blaze of the Texas sun on my back. Man, don't forget them things. It don't look like my pa's gun. That. That part there is different. This here. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they got new fangled ideas. You don't need no notch in the cylinder to make a good gun. Well, Pa shoots better, I reckon. And ain't nobody need nothing better than his gun. Why, Real Joe could hit anything he could see. You know Real Joe? Yes, I knew him. You seen him during his shooter? Stood right with him by jingle. Mister, you recollect things you could tell me? Sure, boy, I recollect real good. I recollect the time down in border country when he faced down three men using a gun like this. Was they drawing on him? Yes, they drawed, but that was the last thing they ever did. It just don't seem likely. No man could do that. Rio could do it. He was good with a gun. Real good. Go on, mister, tell me how he done it. Well, the way it was. Rio was coming along a trail by some cottonwoods. Still spinning them yarns. Oh, my. He's telling me about Rio, too. Rio Joe. He's telling you about Rio Joe. He seen him. He stood with him. Ain't that so, mister? Of course. That show. Don't listen to him. Boy is here. Old fool. He'd like to hear himself talk. He never seen a gunfighter like Rio Joe his whole life run so hard. It wouldn't have been stopped yet. He just talked so much. The whole town's tired of it. Boy, you don't want to get took in by no blowhard. Now, you looky here. Oh, Rio Joe. Mister, I was telling you straight. Boy, you believe me, don't you? What? Can you prove it? I don't know, boy. I. I don't know.

Hey, slide that bottle down this way, will you? Sure. Ask. Thanks. Hey, you the two fellas give that marshal's help for a black eye? Chester? Well, he was asking for it. It weren't none of his business. You know, first I, I thought the old man give it to him. Old Charlie, all he does is talk. Oh, he sure does that though, don't he? You think nobody else knowed how to draw a gun? Him and Rio Joe. Why, he don't even wear a gun. No, no, he don't. I ain't never seen him draw. He just talks about it. No one seem like feller talks that much. Ought to back his play. Old Charlie ain't got no play to back. Might be mighty interesting to put it up to him. What you mean? Yeah, mighty interesting. What are you aiming at? I, I, I just got me a smart idea how to get rid of that old man. Wait a minute, Rap. He ain't done nothing bad enough to get shot first. No, who's talking about shooting? You said get rid of. Sure I did, and it'll work. All you gotta do is just call his glove. How's that? Well, get him out in the street and tell him he's got to face up to one of us or else keep his mouth shut and leave town. Yeah, that'd be calling him over. He sure ain't gonna draw. No, not a talker like him. There'd be nothing for him to do but yes. Come on, let's go fetch him. Tonight? Sure. Tonight. Right now. Ain't no reason to sleep on. Come on. That's it. Come on now. Right down these stairs. Now wait a minute. Keep your voice down. We got something to show you outside. But it's the middle of the night. Well, it ain't going to make much difference, old man. I drag him right out to the middle of the street. You're not man enough to pre empty together to get away with this. What's your talking? You ain't got Enough guts to w a shotgun with you. I thought we was going to shut him up, Raft. He sure is making a lot of noise for old man standing around his drawer. Bunch of yellow bellies dragging a man from his bed. He just gave me a chance to get at you. Giving you a chance, old man. Down in Texas. We just strung you up. Oh, you've been talking mighty big for a man that don't wear no gun. And you're lucky I don't. Well, now we just see about that. We're going to give you one. We're going to see just how much you learn from Rio Jo. Let him go. Oh, Marshall, we was just having some fun with it. Let him go. He sure needed the lesson. He doesn't need any lessons from you. Go on now, get away from here. Well, there ain't no call to get rough about it, Marshall. Somebody had to shut the old man up. You listen to me. I find you pestering him again, I'll be rough in a way you're gonna really understand. You go on and get out of here. Come on, Charlie, go back to your room. You don't need give me no help, Marshall. I can take care of myself. Sure, I know that, Charlie. I wasn't scared of him. I'd have stood up to him. Yeah, come on upstairs. Ain't nobody never got by with nothing like that before. Don't worry about it. Not gonna happen again. I know it ain't, Marshall. I know it ain't. Charlie, you mind if I come in for a few minutes? Oh, yes, you can shoot yourself. You figuring on staying in Dodge, Charlie? Well, I did kind of have it in my mind. Man likes a place to settle. You don't need to change your mind because of those rough, Charlie. I'll handle them. Yeah, no need of that, Marshall. Oh, the. Would you step over this way? I'd like to get in that trunk. Oh, yeah, sure. Oh, like you've had those guns a long time, Charlie. Yes, I have. Hmm. Good shape. They're old friends, Marshall. I take good care of them. They kinda comfort me to have em with me. Yeah, I wouldn't get any idea about starting to wear em again, Charlie. They're old guns. Oh, and I'm an old man, Is that what you're saying? You're old enough to leave your gunfights behind you. Won't you remember that?

I hope they didn't hurt the old man. No, they didn't hurt him. Not physically, anyway. I guess his tried took a terrible premeditation. You think he's gonna leave town? I don't know, Kitty. I wouldn't blame him if he did. No, it'd really be a shame. He wasn't doing any harm telling his stories and the kids seemed to like him. Yeah, but Rasp didn't. That Rasp killer. He's always been a bully. Not like I hear my name mentioned, Roger. You did, Rasp. And I'm glad to repeat what I said. I called you a bully. Well, now, that ain't real ladylike, Miss Kitty, is it, Marshall? Why don't you move along, Raspberry? I keep forgetting you're the big marshal taking care of the ladies and old men around town. I have an idea that one particular old man can take care of him. So you've been listening to too many of his stories. I'm not so sure they're just stories. What do you mean? I saw a pair of horse pistols in his room last night. They looked like they'd had a lot of work. That old coot don't wear no gun. He's wearing one now. Old Charlie. I wouldn't get in his way if I were you. You mean that old geezer might draw on me? No, you've been took in by his talk. I'm just telling you to be careful. He's not gonna forget what you did to him last night. All right, Marsha, I'll play along. I'll tell you one thing, that old man better not start nothing. I wear my guns all the time. So do I, Rasp. You ain't scaring me none, Marsh. I'll be around. So will I, Rasp. So long, Miss Kitty. Really think there's gonna be trouble, Matt? I don't know, Kitty. Old Charlie was pretty upset. Well, you gotta stop it. Don't let him put on those guns. And march around till he gets himself killed. I can't take him away from him, Kitty. Why can't you? Because he hasn't done anything. Oh, yeah, I forgot. You have to sit and wait until something happens. Somebody gets killed before you can do anything. Why don't you just go stop this thing now before someone gets hurt. I don't see what I can do. Huh? Oh, hello, Doc. Here. Where you bound for? Going over the telegraph office. I'll walk along all right. Well, Waiting for a wire from Washington. About time I came in. That takes your badge away, Arthur. On days like this, they're welcome to it. Hello, Ed. You got something for me? Well, now, that's a funny thing, Marshall. Something just did come in. I was going to bring it up as soon as I. At my dinner. Yeah, yeah. Oh, thanks. Well, see you later, Ed. You don't look too happy about what's in that wire, man. This wire isn't really good news, Doc. It's something I've been expecting. Cut your salary, did they? No. I wish it was that simple. What's our hurry? Where are we going? I want to find old Charlie and take his guns off of it. You mean that wire was about old Charlie? Yeah. I'd ask a couple of questions. You better stick with me, Doc. You may be needed. Yeah, Chester, I'm on my way. He's grass an old Charlie. The wire was too late. What's that? Never mind. You look at Charlie over there, Doc. I'm pretty sure Rasp's dead, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, he's dead. That old man just stood there as cool as could be. Let Raph draw first. Uh huh. And shot him down with one of them old pistols. I'm not surprised. Let's go see him. How is he, Doc? He's not good, man. He's not good at all. Marshall. Yeah? Charlie, I. I ain't gonna make it. Don't worry about it. Oh, I don't. I don't care about that. It's past time for me to settle. But Marshall. Yeah, I'm right here, Charlie. I want you to know I wasn't making up them stories. I know you weren't. I wasn't making no brags or no bluffs. I didn't stand with Rio, Joe. I know. I could shoot too. I could shoot as good as he could. I could draw as fast as real Joe. Charlie, you could. You. You believe me, Marshall? Yeah, I believe you. I figured maybe you kind of know the whole thing. Yeah, I do. I guessed it. Rio. Sure, sure. Tell. Tell the others for me. Tell them I. Tell them I weren't. No, no. He's gone, man. Yeah. Mr. Dun, just a minute ago. What was that you called him? Rio. Chester. Old Charlie was Rio. That's just terrible. Dying like that. Nobody knowing who you are. I don't know, Chester. I have a hunch Rio would like it just this way. I've had to arrest him. Otherwise. Rio's been a wanted man for 20 years.
