:14:03
All right, but if it's a sheriff's job,
call me, see?

:14:06
Naturally.
:14:09
Well, what can I do for you gentlemen?
:14:16
(HORSES GALLOPING)
:14:19
It ain't that Mr. Davies
don't want them to go.

:14:22
He wants to make sure a posse's
sworn in, to bring them in for a fair trial.

:14:26
-That's why I wanted you to hurry.
-Confound it. The sheriff's not here.

:14:30
-Today of all days.
-They'll listen to you.

:14:33
No, no. That's not my job.
I haven't any police authority.

:14:38
Where are you going?
:14:39
There's a posse forming.
That's sheriff's work, ain't it?

:14:43
That's no posse.
That's a lawless, lynching mob!

:14:46
It'll be a posse when I get there.
I'm gonna deputize them all proper.

:14:51
But you can't do that. Risley's
the only one empowered to deputize.

:14:58
(OVEN SIZZLES)
:15:01
Shall we tell Davies you're coming?
:15:04
Yes, yes, of course.
I suppose I'll have to.

:15:07
But, doggone it,
this is the sheriff's job, not mine.

:15:12
(MEN MUMBLING)
:15:19
If he don't come around,
we'll go get him ourselves.

:15:21
(MUMBLES)
:15:27
Coming along, Sparks?
:15:30
SPARKS: No, I don't guess so.
SMITH: Better come along, Sparks.

:15:35
Ain't every day we have a hanging
in a town as dead as this one.

:15:40
You won't have to do nothing.
:15:43
All the real work is signed up.
:15:50
We ought to have a reverend along,
because there gonna be some praying.

:15:56
Maybe you're right, Mr. Smith.
:15:59
Maybe somebody ought to go along
that feels the way I do.
