Lawman

:57:03

You learn to use it sometimes fairly well.

:57:06

Sometimes you become really good.

:57:11

But you're still a cowman.

:57:14

I'm a lawman.
You know what a lawman is, Crowe?

:57:18

He's a killer of men.
That's what the job calls for.

:57:21

There are nicer ways to put it,
but it reads the same.

:57:25

That's the difference between us,
and it's all the difference I need.

:57:30

Maddox!

:57:39

Being fast don't count for much.
It's what you learn in the trade.

:57:42

You read a man.

:57:46

You believe me, about last night?

:57:48

I don't think you'd trail a man so hard
so early in the morning just to tell a lie.

:57:55

If you're heading for Vern Adams' place,
expect trouble.

:57:58

He'll be waiting.

:58:00

- Morning, Mayor.
- Morning, Marshal.

:58:02

- Nice morning.
- Just a minute, Marshal.

:58:06

- He's left town.
- Who?

:58:09

- He rode out this morning, I heard.
- We wanna be sure he don't come back.

:58:13

I just come from the minister
and the churchgoing women.

:58:17

It seems you've all got
the same complaint.

:58:20

But none of you have any reason
for me to post Maddox out of town.

:58:23

I told you we were wasting our time.
He's running scared of Maddox.

:58:27

What we need is some real vigilante talk.

:58:30

I heard you tried that once,
then went scuttling back to your wives.

:58:36

Maybe if you keep trying, you'll find some
brave man to shoot Maddox in the back.

:58:40

Now I suggest you fine, upright gentlemen
go about your business.

:58:44

If you can't keep the dirt off the street,
Ryan, we can. And we will.

:58:48

You're all mouth, Luther,
mouth and gut wind.

:58:51

You won't do much more
than scratch yourself.
