Part Two

NATHAN:
Why'd you change your mind?
JOSIAH:
Crows.
NATHAN:
What crows?
JOSIAH:
A sign.

NATHAN:
What does that mean?
JOSIAH:
Death.
NATHAN:
Whose?
JOSIAH:
Probably mine.
EZRA:
Well, well, a sense of humor. I look forward to many lively conversations.
NATHAN:
What about all this?
JOSIAH:
Oh... these stones will still be here if I get back.
VIN:
We can use another good man.
JOSIAH:
Not so good... but I can fight.

JD:
One... two... three... four... five...
( hammer cocking )
BUCK:
Six. If you're trying to stay hid, it's best to remove your hat.


TASTANAGI:
Welcome. We greet you with hostility.
CHRIS:
I think he means hospitality.
VIN:
Nope, I think he means hostility.
TASTANAGI:
Some of our people find it impossible to trust white men.
CHRIS:
And you?
TASTANAGI:
Not impossible. Just... difficult.
VIN:
You never told us they had a cannon.
TASTANAGI:
You didn't ask.
BUCK:
Hey, boys! Look what I found. Come on.

JD:
I was covering you... making sure you weren't walking into an ambush.
CHRIS:
How'd you get here ahead of us?
JD:
I told you, I can ride. I cut around the canyon rim.
CHRIS:
Well, I suggest you ride back the same way.
JD:
I can help. If you give me a chance I am ready to fight.
BUCK:
You think you're ready, boy? Let me guess... you learned to ride in prep school... then you read some... dime-store novel about Kit Carson... got you all fired up. Figured you'd come out west and try your hand as a gunfighter. Is that about right?
CHRIS:
Go home. You're not the type.
JD:
A man comes to you because he respects you because he'd be proud to work with you. This is how you treat him?
CHRIS:
Go home, kid.
TASTANAGI:
He is young and proud.
CHRIS:
You could carve that on his tombstone.
JOSIAH:
I'm an expert at prayers for the dying.
EZRA:
( laughing ) Oh, I like this guy. Lord help me, I like him. I'm in this for the laughs, if nothing else.
CHRIS:
Let's get started. We got four days.
TASTANAGI:
Less. He's an old warrior. He will come early... to surprise us.

TASTANAGI:
His main force rode straight into the village. Then he left some men back here.
JOSIAH:
He's a trained soldier.
CHRIS:
Probably repeat himself.
TASTANAGI:
We should take the high ground.
CHRIS:
Yeah. If we can force him through this choke hold we'll have him.
MAN:
Set that hay over there.
TASTANAGI:
We may not have guns but we have our ways of fighting.
CHRIS:
Anderson will provide the guns.

VIN:
You ever fired one of these before, Eban?
EBAN:
They don't give guns to slaves.
VIN:
Well, you're not a slave anymore. Okay. Now, take aim at that target. Bring it back a bit. Right there. Rest your elbow... right there. Now, take aim at the target and squeeze that trigger gently. Whoa! Whoo! Kicks like a mule, doesn't she? You okay?
EBAN:
Yeah.
VIN:
Who wants to go next?
EBAN:
No! I can do this.

CHILD:
Ezra, look.
EZRA:
Uh, well done, my little craftsmen but there is plenty more to do.
CHILD:
But you said...
EZRA:
Of course. A deal's a deal. Gather 'round. I did say that if you work I'll show you tricks.

VIN:
Pull it tightly against your shoulder. You got it? Squeeze the trigger.


NATHAN:
You still doing your penance, Josiah? Well, how high you going up?
JOSIAH:
Oh, high enough to make a sensible horse think twice about jumping. Collecting firewood, my friend?
NATHAN:
Mm-mmm. We got a battle coming. Boiling some water. Going to be plenty of men wounded up in here.
JOSIAH:
And dead.


EZRA:
All right, children let's see what we have wrought. Spectacular. You've all earned another trick. Gather 'round gather 'round. If my lovely assistant would pass me my blindfold, please. Thank you very much. This one is called "Aces High." Prepare to be amazed.


VIN:
The problem is you didn't have the gun pulled tightly against your shoulder.

EZRA:
To find the mystical ace of spades one must become sensitized to its vibration. Now, of course, I will expect you to applaud as I have taught you. For, when one is sensitized one can better ascertain its location.
( applause )
EZRA:
Thank you. Nothing at all, I assure you.


( branch cracking )
NATHAN:
Come on out of there, now. You don't want me coming after you.
NATHAN:
Cut me down.
RAIN:
My father told us they hired white men to protect our village.
NATHAN:
Cut me down, now.
RAIN:
They sent us here because these men cannot be trusted.
NATHAN:
That was probably real smart of them.
RAIN:
You were a slave?
NATHAN:
A long time ago.
RAIN:
Then you are one of us. Many runaways sought refuge with our tribe. Now we are one people.
NATHAN:
Now we going to cut me down?
RAIN:
You are strong. You have a woman?
NATHAN:
No, ma'am.
RAIN:
Opa Locka is looking for a husband.
( giggling softly )
NATHAN:
That's real sweet, ma'am, but, uh... Can y'all please cut me down here, please?


BUCK:
The wind blew, the clouds parted and out came the sun.
I knew you wouldn't let me down, you old dog. Well, what do we have here?
NATHAN:
Found them up at their canyon. Actually, they, uh, they sort of found me.
EBAN:
What y'all doing down here? Didn't I tell y'all to stay hid?
RAIN:
Is this not our village, too? Why should we hide like rabbits while our grandfathers defend us?
BUCK:
I say we let 'em stay.
EBAN:
You touch my daughter I promise I'll kill you.
BUCK:
W-which one is your daughter?
CHRIS:
No harm will come to your women.
TASTANAGI:
Let them stay.

EZRA:
Well... the hat is a marvelous touch.

BUCK:
Howdy. How you doing today? You new in the village? You're looking beautiful I got to tell you right now. You met my friend here? My name's Buck, by the way. Playing hard to get, I see. Here we go. Excuse me. ma'am. Ladies.

RAIN:
For the bandages.

IMALA:
Who are you?
BUCK:
Nobody you need to use that pig sticker on.
IMALA:
Why are you in my village?
BUCK:
Hey! I'm one of the good guys.
IMALA:
You're wearing the wrong skin.
JD:
I got him!
BUCK:
You stupid son of a... you damn near shot me.

MAN:
Imala! He has come back!
CHILD:
Imala!
CHRIS:
Buck, let him go.
TASTANAGI:
Imala, Imala! Imala, my son! I thought you were dead!
IMALA:
I escaped from the white man's prison. Do you know why I was in prison? For the crime of not being white. And what do I find when I return? These white men.
BUCK:
That's it! Now, what in the blue blazes we doing here, then risking our lives for a chunk of gold that wouldn't even fill a tooth?
And why would I die for you?
IMALA'S WIFE:
Imala! Your son.
TASTANAGI:
He is called Osceola for the spirit of his father.


JD:

He'd be dead right now if it weren't for me.
BUCK:
You damn near shot my ear off.
JD:
But I didn't, did I? I saved your life twice. Twice!
BUCK:
You think I couldn't handle him?
JD:
I just want to prove to you that I can...Don't ever use the butt of your gun as a weapon. You keep smacking it around before long, it's going to misfire. And another thing. Get rid of this damn, stupid hat!

VIN:
( laughing ) What Buck means is thanks, kid.
CHRIS:
If you want to die young... stay.
JD:
Yes!
JD:
This guy's crazy!

VIN:
There's a little backwater town up in the Texas panhandle. Tascosa. Flatter'n a felt-covered poker table. You know it?
CHRIS:
Heard of it.
VIN:
If I wind up getting killed take my body back there. You'll get 500 for it.
CHRIS:
How come you're so valuable?
VIN:
Well, when the buffalo done run out I became a bounty hunter. I was going after Eli Joe-- a bandit who'd shot up a few banks.
$200 reward, alive or dead and I found him dead, took the body in. 'Cept it wasn't him. Old Eli framed me up for murder. Since I didn't do it, I decided not to stick around for the hanging. Wound up with a hefty bounty on my own head. So, I figure if a friend collects I get the last laugh.


EZRA:
Why'd you sign on, Josiah? What is it you expect to gain?
JOSIAH:
I saw the birds of darkness in a dream.
When I woke up, a crow was sitting on my windowsill
staring at me like the devil himself.
EZRA:
Why come here?
JOSIAH:
If death's coming, I'd just as soon meet it head on.
EZRA:
And get your reward in the hereafter?
JOSIAH:
No. No, I was, uh... I was a priest once, but, uh... had a little trouble turning the other cheek.

EZRA:
I did a turn preaching the word myself.
JOSIAH:
Is that right?
EZRA:
The best swindle I ever knew. Just stand up there under that tent terrify the congregation with avision of hellfire and pass the collection plate.

JOSIAH:

Yeah.
EZRA:
Did fine, too until I attempted to save the soul of the mayor's daughter.
JOSIAH:
Yup. Saving souls has its hazards.

MAN:
( bird cry )
CHRIS:
Time's up. Everybody, take your positions!



CAPTAIN CORCORAN:
Sand.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
My instructions could not have been more explicit.
CAPTAIN CORCORAN:
Oh, you were very explicit, Colonel.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
And yet for some reason, they were not carried out. ( yelling ) I have shot my own men for less! Ah! Colonel Emmett Riley Anderson of the Army of the Confederate States of America. And you are...?

CHRIS:
There's no gold here, Colonel.

COLONEL ANDERSON:
No. Course there isn't. You're here for your health or the, uh, company perhaps?
VIN:
We came to ask you to leave.

COLONEL ANDERSON:
And purely out of the goodness of your heart?
BUCK:
Yep. Something like that.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Well... how many of you humanitarians are there?
CHRIS:
Enough.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
What do you say, Captain? You think there's going to be trouble?
CHRIS:
No trouble, Colonel. Just turn around and ride out.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
I like that. Audacity!
VIN:
Move on, Colonel. These people have nothing you want.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Shoot 'em down, Captain.
CAPTAIN CORCORAN:
Company...
( guns cocking )
Fire!
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Come on, boys. Show 'em what you're made of.
CHRIS:
Now
EZRA:
( whistles )

CHILD:
Come on, pull!
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Watch it over there!
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Whoa, now, whoa!

COLONEL ANDERSON:
Stand and fight, damn you!
CAPTAIN CORCORAN:
For God's sake Colonel! For the Love of God, Colonel, let's go!
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Damn it all to hell! Sound retreat!
CAPTAIN CORCORAN:
Come on!
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Retreat!
WOMAN:
Now.
COLONEL ANDERSON:
Come on!
JD:
( screaming )

( bugle playing )

TASTANAGI:
( triumphant yelling )
EBAN:
( laughing )
JD:
Oh, God.
VIN:
Ride on, Colonel. Ride on.
TASTANAGI:
( speaking Seminole ) We have won.
CHRIS:
Your people fought well.
TASTANAGI:
We fight well together.
BUCK:
We whupped 'em good, old pard.
VIN:
What do you think?
CHRIS:
Maybe. Buck, get up on that ridge, keep a lookout.
BUCK:
Hell they ain't gonna stop running till they hit the Rio Grande.
VIN:
I'll take first watch.
CHRIS:
All right. Are you all right?
JD:
Yeah. Oh, it's not my blood.
BUCK:
You're damn lucky it isn't your blood, son. Now, you don't fan your guns. That spoils your aim. One good shot is better than six bad ones.
JD:
Anything else?!
BUCK:
No, that's about it for now.


IMALA:
You know how to use that knife.
NATHAN:
I prefer to use it for healing. Keep pressure on that, huh?
IMALA:
Me-doh.
NATHAN:
( speaks Seminole )
NATHAN:
Let me see that arm.
EZRA:
It's fine. I just... bruised it when I fell.
NATHAN:
No, no, no, that ain't no bruise, now. Let me see.
EZRA:
I said it's fine.
NATHAN:
Suit yourself.
EZRA:
( groans )
NATHAN:
Just like I thought, you dislocated it. Might be sore for a little while but at least you have two hands to cheat at cards with.

JOSIAH:
Rest easy, friend.
NATHAN:
How's he doing there?
EBAN:
Not good.
JOSIAH:
Whoever your God is... you can go to him in peace.
IMALA:
Leave him.
JOSIAH:
( gasps )
IMALA:
We don't believe in your white man's religion.
JOSIAH:
Nor do I, my friend.
EBAN:
He been hit.

NATHAN:
Looks like the bullet went clean through but he lost a lot of blood.
TASTANAGI:
Why didn't you tell us you were hurt?

JOSIAH:
You didn't ask.
CHRIS:
Your birds lied, Josiah.
JOSIAH:
We shall see.
