Part One
BUCK:
Now, when we get there I don't want you busting in like some buckin' bronco, young man. I want you to be real nice to these ladies and get to know 'em.
JD:
Buck, how many times do I got to tell you I already know what to do.
BUCK:
I'm just trying to help-- it being your first time and all.
JD:
You must have wax in your ears. This ain't my first. I've had a whole gaggle of women.
BUCK:
Well, sure you have, JD just trying to make sure that little gaggle of yours didn't miss a spot. Hold on, boy. Well, there it is. Wickes town.
JD:
Wickes town.
BUCK:
Come on.
JD:
Let's go. Who is this guy Wickes?
BUCK:
Friend of the local ranchers. He brought in some sportin' women and, uh, built this paradise. Hey, darlin'. What do you say we sample a little of Wickes' whiskey and get you in the mood, JD? Come on, boy. Hey. How you doin'? Come on!
JD:
Isn't that Chris?
BUCK:
Hmm?
JD:
Let's go say hi.
BUCK:
No. Over here.
BARTENDER:
What'll it be, Gents?
BUCK:
Two... whiskies.
WICKES:
On the house. Welcome, gentlemen. The first drink is always free to new customers.
BUCK:
You must be Wickes.
WICKES:
Guilty as charged, my friend. If you want a special brand of whiskey a card game or a girl just say the word, it's yours.
BUCK:
Thank you.
WICKES:
Excuse me, gentlemen.
BUCK:
To, uh... To Wickes town.
JD:
Wickes town.
WICKES:
Kolish, you want the usual? Nora... Get over here. Nora.
LYDIA:
Not him again.
NORA:
I'm not feeling too good.
LYDIA:
Hey, why don't you spend the afternoon with me?
WICKES:
Lydia.
LYDIA:
Let me talk to Wickes alone.
WICKES:
You're coming with me, Nora.
LYDIA:
You miss me, sugar?
CHRIS:
You all right?
LYDIA:
I'm fine. She's not.
BUCK:
Which one do you fancy, JD?
JD:
Oh... That one.
BUCK:
Oh, good choice. You want me to arrange it for you?
JD:
No. I can do it.
BUCK:
Damn. You can do it.
JD:
Pardon me. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm JD
EMILY:
Hi. Come with me.
BUCK:
The man's first time. Brings back fond memories.
BARTENDER:
It does.
BUCK:
You know, come to think of it the first time was not good.
BARTENDER:
Usually ain't.
BUCK:
I think I'd better follow him and make sure he doesn't trip over it on the way to her tent. See ya.
JD:
So... you been here long?
EMILY:
Not too long.
JD:
Where you from?
EMILY:
Arkansas.
JD:
Really?
EMILY:
Don't be shy, honey.
JD:
Oh, my...
EMILY:
Come on, you.
( woman screaming )
WICKES:
Don't you tell me my business, woman! If you ever question my authority again, I'll kill you! Do you understand me?! I'll kill you, do you hear? I'd advise you to mind your own business, friend.
BUCK:
I'd advise you to let the lady go... friend.
LYDIA:
Nora. Nora, honey. She needs a doctor.
WICKES:
You're going to need one worse, Mister. Come here. Hold him for me. don't ever tell a man what to do with his own property.
( gunshot )
CHRIS:
Buck, we're leaving. We're taking her with us.
BUCK:
Get off me. Get off me!

CHRIS:
JD, get the guns and the horses.
WICKES:
This ain't over
NATHAN:
She's in bad shape. Got some broken ribs, some nasty cuts some old bruises, too. Someone's been treating her pretty rough.
NORA:
I got to get back. He'll be mad.
NATHAN:
It's okay, honey. You're safe here.
NORA:
I'll just owe more.
NATHAN:
Owe who? Wickes?
NORA:
He paid my way out here. I have to pay him back.. With interest. I came because he promised me so much. But the more I work, the more I owe.
VIN:
Sounds like a good deal. For him.
( knocking at door )
MARY:
Mr. Larabee? May I have a word with you, please?

JD:
So then Buck starts swinging at this bull of a man like there's no tomorrow.
BUCK:
More like a pig of a man if you ask me.
JOSIAH:
Sounds like a righteous fight.
JD:
He almost got us killed. What the hell got into you, Buck?
BUCK:
Nothing. You just don't treat women like that.
JD:
I agree you don't treat women like that, but now we can't go back to Wickes town. I really think that Emily and I could have had something. I mean, she said that she might not even charge me.
( Buck and Josiah laugh )
JD:
What? It's true.
BUCK:
Yeah.
JOSIAH:
That's too bad, JD, 'cause from where I sit, that'd be right charitable of her.
JD:
What do you know, preacher? Women never meant nothing to you.
JOSIAH:
What I don't know about women ain't worth knowing. Anyway-- the important thing to remember is the act of love should be a truly spiritual experience.
JD:
"Spiritual"?
JOSIAH:
Mm-hmm. See... Adam and Eve, they got thrown out of paradise for doing it. So when we do it, it better be right so their loss was not in vain.
BUCK:
Amen to that, brother.
JD:
Is there anyone alive who doesn't feel obliged to give me advice?

MARY:
I'm not telling you what to do.
CHRIS:
You're suggesting awful strong.
MARY:
Look, she's your responsibility.
CHRIS:
I brought her here 'cause she needs looking after.
MARY:
When she gets better, You'll take her elsewhere.
CHRIS:
Well, that's, uh... that's mighty Christian of you, Mrs. Travis.
MARY:
Mr. Larabee, things are hard enough for this town without her kind here.
CHRIS:
The hurt kind?
MARY:
The working kind.
CHRIS:
It's one girl, Mrs. Travis.
MARY:
Just one, Mr. Larabee?
LYDIA:
You have Nora?
NATHAN:
She's all right.
LYDIA:
She okay?
CHRIS:
Yeah.
NATHAN:
She can't be moved yet, but she'll be all right.
LYDIA:
I'm grateful for your help.
BUCK:
You ladies out for a morning ride?
LYDIA:
We snuck out at dawn. Grabbed everything we could. We looked over our shoulders the whole way here.
CHRIS:
Vin, take a look around.
BUCK:
We'll point you in whatever direction.
LYDIA:
Came looking for you. When I saw there were men finally standing up to Wickes I knew we could get out of that place. I'm asking you for a safe place to stay here, to protect us. We can pay you.
MARY:
I'm sorry, but it's best if you just move on.
LYDIA:
Maybe it's best if you let these men answer themselves.
MARY:
These men don't run this town.
LYDIA:
And you do?
MARY:
I have a say.
LYDIA:
I'll bet you do.
BUCK:
If you'll excuse me, ma'am.
You have Nora?
NATHAN:
She's all right.
LYDIA:
She okay?
CHRIS:
Yeah.
NATHAN:
She can't be moved yet, but she'll be all right.

BUCK:
If you'll excuse me, ma'am.
BUCK:
So, what do you think, Chris?
CHRIS:
About what?
BUCK:
About the ladies.
CHRIS:
It's a problem.
BUCK:
Yeah.
CHRIS:
But you can handle it.
BUCK:
Me?!
CHRIS:
You're the one who picked the fight.
BUCK:
You're the one that carried the girl away.
CHRIS:
You started it, you finish it.
BUCK:
Fine. Then, the ladies stay. Need more women around here anyway.
MARY:
I disagree.
So, what do you think, Chris?

MARY:

EZRA:
Ah, please. Please, folks. Let's, uh... let's give these ladies some room. Now, if you'll allow me to escort you to the hotel or the bathhouse. Bet a nice warm tub of water sounds appealing.
EMILY:
Sure does.
EZRA:
Uh, listen, perhaps, after you're more rested we could discuss a solution to your predicament. I have a few ideas.
LADY:
Oh!

LADY:
Oh!
VIN:
Easy. Come on.
Easy. Come on.
MARY:
This girl's beating is typical of the kind of behavior prostitution incites.
BUCK:
Not exactly polite behavior to throw 'em back to the wolves now, is it?
MARY:
I'm just saying...
CHRIS:
If they want to stay it's a free country. It's their right.
MARY:
We have the right to a safe and decent community to raise our children.
VIN:
Got company.
MARY:
( sighs )

QUINT:
Tear this place apart! Find them girls!
Tear this place apart! Find them girls!
QUINT:
We're looking for some girls.
VIN:
Ain't we all?
QUINT:
You're going to want to stay out of the way while we look around.
VIN:
Suit yourself... but I'll tell you right now the pickin's are mighty slim.
QUINT:
Let's go.

( Buck chuckling )
( hacking )
NATHAN:
Get down. It's nasty. I think it's catching.
EZRA:
Oh, no...consumption.
( Ezra hacking )
EZRA:
Go call the priest.
NATHAN:
They're gone.
EZRA:
Oh.
NATHAN:
Get down. It's nasty. I think it's catching.
EZRA:
Oh, no...consumption.
( Ezra hacking )
EZRA:

NATHAN:
They're gone.
EZRA:
Oh.
MAN:
We're looking for...
JOSIAH:
God, I hope. Join me in prayer, my brothers. Lord, forgive these sinners who enter your house with instruments of death. Please do not send them into a fiery... agonizing grave where a thousand flames eat away at their flesh for all of eternity.
Though thou art mighty and these men are lowly do not spite them, Lord! How was that?
( giggles )
We're looking for...
JOSIAH:

( giggles )
VIN:
No luck? Well, if you find one wandering around out there, tell her she's welcome here.
QUINT:
Let's go. Get up! Hyah!
CHRIS:
They're gone. You can come out now.
LYDIA:
I'll be out in a while.
CHRIS:
Well, we need to have a little talk.
LYDIA:
Come on in.
CHRIS:
Come find me in the saloon when you're decent.
LYDIA:
You know I ain't shy.
CHRIS:
I think it's best that you ladies, uh... went on your way.
LYDIA:
Little Miss Muffet does have a say over you, then.
CHRIS:
It's got nothing to do with her. Next time, it'll be Wickes who shows up and I don't
want to see anyone get hurt especially you.
LYDIA:
He won't rest till we're back with him, or dead.
CHRIS:
We'll take you to Ridge City. Y'all can catch a train there.
LYDIA:
And what if he follows us?
CHRIS:
We'll protect you.
LYDIA:
From what I've seen a man like you could protect me just about anywhere.
CHRIS:
Lydia, you're leaving.
LYDIA:
I think we'll stay make a stand right here.
CHRIS:
If you stay, you're on your own.
LYDIA:
Always have been, always will be.
CHRIS:
( sighs )
They're gone. You can come out now.
LYDIA:
I'll be out in a while.
CHRIS:
Well, we need to have a little talk.

LYDIA:
Always have been, always will be.
CHRIS:
( sighs )
EMILY:
You want us to do what?
EZRA:
To become mail-order brides.
( women laughing )
EZRA:
Getting married is the only permanent solution to your predicament and I am just the man to arrange it for you.
WOMAN:
Getting married's like what we been doing, only for no money.
EZRA:
Ah, yes but not if you marry well and let me explain to you ladies exactly what I mean by "well." Only the most well-bred well-mannered and well-financed gentlemen need apply and for a small finder's fee I will personally screen all applicants. Ladies I am talking about placement in some of the finest homes in the territory.
EMILY:
And what would men like that want with girls like us?
EZRA:
What they don't know won't hurt them and if you'll consent to a little tutoring-- I call it "charm school"-- those gentlemen will be convinced that they are marrying the queen of England herself.
( women giggling )
BUCK:
Hey! Why don't you go on over to her?
JD:
If you are so hell bent on a roll in the hay why don't you go buy one for yourself?
BUCK:
I don't pay for it.
JD:
Yeah, right.
BUCK:
I never have, never will.
JD:
You're trying to tell me that you've never slept with... one of those ladies?
BUCK:
Oh, I been with plenty of them but I never paid for it.
JD:
Mind telling me how that's possible?
BUCK:
Well... when you know them like I have you come to respect them and respect buys an awful lot of kindness.
JD:
You're talking like they were your family.
BUCK:
Come to feel like family when you been raised up together.
JD:
Wait a minute. You grew up in a...? Your mother was a...
BUCK:
She was a saint.
Hey! Why don't you go on over to her?
JD:
If you are so hell bent on a roll in the hay why don't you go buy one for yourself?
BUCK:
I don't pay for it.
JD:
Yeah, right.

I never have, never will.
