:54:01
for a man who could come up there
and see to himself...
:54:06
and look to a few things that-a-way...
:54:09
in respect to the cattle stealing going on
in the Big Moon up there in that district.
:54:13
- What's required?
- Some ability with a rifle.
:54:23
You know, Joe,
nobody ever offered to give me an office.
:54:27
- Make you feel kind of special, does it?
- I don't know.
:54:31
If I had your ability with a rifle...
:54:34
nobody would ever expect me
to come in out of the field.
:54:36
As it is, I spend half my time
on the railroad...
:54:39
handcuffed to some petty criminal,
as just a delivery man.
:54:44
What's the best shot you ever made, Tom?
:54:48
I don't know.
:54:51
What about Mendenhour?
:54:53
If it was me,
I'd say it wasn't much of a shot.
:54:59
Wouldn't you rather shoot a Sharps.50
instead of that.45-.60?
:55:03
Those old buffalo guns carry better,
but with a.45-.60...
:55:06
you can get rounds at any general store.
Keeps a drygulcher in business.
:55:10
Tom, on the killing of this kid...
:55:13
- that was quite a shot.
- Was it?
:55:17
Two hundred thirteen yards.
:55:19
What do you know about that?
:55:22
What I just told you.
:55:25
You afraid of dying, Joe?
:55:31
Yes, I am.
:55:35
I am afraid of losing my ability
to be able to come and go as I please.
:55:40
Lose my freedom.
:55:42
Not be able to get back up
in those hills again.
:55:45
What would they do to a man...
:55:46
that killed a 15-year-old boy
with a Winchester?
:55:49
I believe that man would have to die.
:55:51
And you believe that a.45-.60
that's got a trajectory like a rainbow...
:55:55
could make that shot?
:55:58
I know it could happen.
