:47:01
I can't believe I've heard
some of the things said here.

:47:04
You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
:47:06
We paid this man,
and he was the best marshal we ever had.

:47:09
It ain't his trouble, it's ours.
:47:12
If we don't do what's right,
we're gonna have more trouble.

:47:15
There ain't but one thing to do,
and you all know what that is.

:47:19
- Go ahead, Kibbee.
- This thing has been handled wrong.

:47:23
Those three killers
walking the streets bold as brass...

:47:26
Why didn't you put them in jail
where they ought to be?

:47:29
Then we'd only have Miller to worry about.
:47:32
I haven't anything to arrest them for.
They haven't done anything.

:47:36
There's no law against them
sitting on a bench at the depot.

:47:40
I can't listen to any more of this.
What's the matter with you people?

:47:44
Remember when a decent woman
couldn't walk down the street in broad daylight?

:47:48
When this wasn't a fit place
to bring up a child?

:47:52
How can you sit and talk, and talk,
and talk like this?

:47:56
What are we getting so excited about?
How do we know Miller's on that train?

:48:01
We can be pretty sure he's on it.
Time's getting short.

:48:07
- Parson, you got anything to say?
- I don't know.

:48:12
The commandment says
''thou shalt not kill''

:48:15
but we hire men to do it for us.
:48:17
The right and the wrong
seem pretty clear here,

:48:21
but if I should tell my people
to go out and kill,

:48:24
and maybe get themselves killed, I'm sorry,
I don't know what to say. I'm sorry.

:48:32
All right, I'll say this.
:48:34
What this town owes Will Kane, it can never
pay with money. Don't forget it.

:48:39
He's the best marshal we've ever had,
and maybe the best we'll ever have.

:48:43
So if Miller comes back here today,
it's our problem, not his.

:48:48
It's our problem
because this is our town.

:48:51
We made it with our own hands,
out of nothing.

:48:54
If we want to keep it decent
we gotta think mighty clear today.

:48:58
We gotta have the courage to do what is right,
no matter how hard it is.
