:12:00
You're as fast as you used to be,
maybe faster.

:12:05
_ Been getting lots of practice?
_ Still haven't got a newspaper here?

:12:10
No, but we do have a gossip
about every twenty feet.

:12:14
Why did you come into town the back
way, John? You figuring on trouble?

:12:19
There's always somebody looking
for some. Clearwater's no different.

:12:25
But that's one thing
I don't want, Billy... trouble.

:12:31
_ How long you planning to stay?
_ I don't know. I just got here.

:12:36
People usually let you take your hat off
'fore they ask you to leave.

:12:40
I'm not asking you to leave. I'm just
asking how long you figure to stay.

:12:45
Is there any reason
why I shouldn't stay?

:12:48
Yes, as a matter of fact,
there's a couple of reasons.

:12:51
For one, this ain't your home any more.
You gave that up some years ago.

:12:58
Go on.
:13:00
And two,
another man came to town today.

:13:04
I understand he's real good with a gun.
:13:06
_ Who is he?
_ I don't know. He's a stranger.

:13:10
But I understand he hires out.
:13:14
And three,
I've got myself a young deputy

:13:17
who's real conscientious about his job.
:13:23
_ Am I wanted for anything, Billy?
_ No.

:13:26
_ Then I got a good idea.
_ Yeah?

:13:29
You send that young deputy over
to run that other fellow out of town.

:13:34
I guess that'd be one way of doing it.
:13:37
The only thing is,
he's not wanted for anything, either.

:13:42
I come to town to see Ma buried,
and to maybe say hello to my brothers.

:13:48
_ Any objections?
_ No.

:13:51
_ Fine.
_ You want to see the boys, go that way.

:13:55
_ You won't have to go through town.
_ The ranch is over there.

:13:59
Not any more.
Morgan Hastings owns it now.
