"WESTERN COFFEE AND SALOON"

"WESTERN COFFEE AND SALOON"

I don't know who he is,

but he killed one of the few Apaches,

we made friends with they'll.

Hit us with everything. They've got. No they won't.

Not if we show them, it wasn't one of us.

Not if we get rid of the man who did it.

You're crazy. All of you are!...

Right there. Hang him from there.

When the Apache's come in, he'll be the first thing they see.

They'll know we paid the killer in full.

That's right, is Hanging. Just a minute.

He got a right to a trial.

A real quick trial.

Quiet, do you hear? We'll have quiet.

Let's get on with it, Oliver.

You think those are Apaches, are holding court, standing on ceremony?

Come on, past sentence, he did it.

Anyone here thinks he didn't? What do we do?

Thank him for what he's done. We've said it.

We caught him guilty. Let him hang.

Haxon Williams.

It's Hack. What?

Just, Hack.

Easier than Haxon. Hack Williams?

Haxon, or Hack?

You heard the jury.

They've decided you're guilty.

If you've got anything to say,

you better stand up, and say it now.

If not, I'm going to pass sentence.

You, got any words?

Yeah, I got words.

You don't want to hear them.

I keep telling you,

I had nothing to do with of that killing

but you want somebody to hang.

And it don't look like any words...

of my will be changing your minds.

You were seen standing over him.

There was a freshly discharged shell from your rifle.

He was killed by a rifle.

That's proof enough, isn't it?

Yeah!...

Eh, yeah!...

This court finds you guilty of murder.

Our time!... It's all a matter...

We have to solve this...

Constable...

the court orders you to keep,

the prisoner in jail until sun up...

When he hangs.

May the lord have mercy on your soul.

Take him away.

This way.

Tira, tiri, tatu!...

Tira, pinting...

All right, Williams inside. Hanging?

First thing, in the morning.

You stay the night here, Pokey.

If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible, understand?

Yeah, I understand.

Mister Williams.

Yeah, yeah!...

I ain't had this job as jailkeeper for long,

but, seem to recollect here, in some place pendant,

that a hanging man gets something sort of special.

What you got for me? A key?

No, I don't.

I don't have, no key but...

I figured you'd get some sort of a choice.

Choice, or what?

Well, supper.

You can have anything you want,

for your last supper.

You really want to give me a choice?

Yes, sir.

I'd be happy to. Get me a bottle.

For supper? I'll drink my supper.

I don't know, if that's legal.

I've been wondering what is legal,

ever since I hit this town. Yeah.

I bet you have you better get in.

Well.

I'm the keeper here.

And you get your choice.

You know what?

I'm going to give you some,

of what constable Crumble drinks.

He keeps it right here...

Right, here...

In a safe place.

Right is good, mister Williams.

Right is good.

Wish, I could join you...

but, I better not.

I, am.

Mister, you. Happy!...

Ita, ra, ra...

Hai!...

Hoo, uh!...

There's your small growing town.

I still say, ma'am,

if I was you, I'd have stayed on that stage,

coach till it made a complete round trip.

You wouldn't be trying, to frighten me, would you?

Ma'am? Uh, come on, mister Martin.

Aren't all of you men, of the west a little prone

to boasting about your struggles, in uncivilized territories.

A little proud over your victories in Indian warfare.

Well, I ain't talking about that.

I mean, you're wasting your time coming out of here.

Well, there ain't nothing, to teach because there's,

hardly enough youngins to make it worthwhile.

Mister Oliver, assured me that the need,

for education in your town was imperative.

Ma'am, there ain't more than one or two youngest...

One or 1 hundred, it makes no difference, mister Martin.

The arm of learning must reach out to all the wilderness of our country.

I still say go back, to Boston.

Not when there are small towns growing up.

Not when there's the need for those who can teach.

Hey, hey!...

Wow!...

Good lord, mister Martin.

Like I said, ain't it?

You should have stayed on that stage, coach.

Hello!...

Hello!...

Hello!...

"PHARMACY" Ain't no use, no.

"PHARMACY" Use it all.

"PHARMACY" Mister Martin

"PHARMACY" What's going on, mister Matin!...

Mister Martin?

Mister Martin?

Mister Martin?

Please, mister Martin. Please.

Mister Martin?

Uh-a-a-a-a-a!...

You're not gonna me hang.

life in to kill me,

but it saved me.

Red sticks, could shoot in,

the kill for a little poke.

They couldn't even see me.

You think that's not funny.

Eh!...

I beg your pardon.

Don't stand on ceremony,

yourself.

I, I, don't mean to disturb you.

Take yourself a swallow.

Not the best stuff, but it's whiskey.

Thank you but I don't care for any.

Good for what Ails you.

Makes everything hazy.

It's the way I like it.

Worry is, problems.

What are we going to do, mister Martin?

Name's Williams. Hack Williams.

Oh, I'm sorry, mister Williams...

but the town...

the the people here.

Alte deen.

And then.

I know.

It's horrible.

Isn't it just?

Oh, still hiding in the name of Heaven.

The name is Williams,

Hank Williams. Writing a Williams.

Something has to be done. It's being done.

Doesn't it? It doesn't bother me.

There was no one of them that didn't want to see me hang.

Hang.

There's something I didn't do.

Oh, they had proof.

Mister Williams, I know nothing of what you've been talking,

about nor does it matter at this time.

The important thing is that you...

and I have found ourselves in the midst of a disaster...

and something has to be done.

What are we going to do?

We, lady?

We, mister Williams.

Most certainly something has to be done.

Yeah!...

What, mister Williams?

What?

Your intentions.

A quick departure, lady.

Back to the stage station? The other way.

Oh, uh!...

but you'll be kind enough to escort me back there, won't you?

No, sir.

I can't go back there alone.

No, not if you want to live.

That station will be filled with red sticks,

just waiting for the first stage coach to come along.

Yeah!... Oh!...

There's a small settlement.

One, two days drive from here. I'll take you that far, lady.

Then you're on your own.

Uh, come on, no get busy.

We need food, water, blankets.

Well, get on.

Oh well, what are you going to do?

Wait and see what you're going to do.

Oh!...

What about the dead, mister Williams?

You want to be around when the red sticks,

come back to bury their dead?

Toss them in.

Ma'am. Sir?

Food, water.

Mister Martin carried a supply of bacon, harbor, and coffee...

and if you'll notice, the canteen.

I can't help but feel I'm a burden to you.

I'm sorry for that.

But I will sir.

You spoke of leaving quickly, shall we do just that?

Uh!...

Staff life lady is.

Rise staff of life.

Well, mister Williams. Come on.

Hyah, yp!...

Tell me something. Yes, mister Williams.

How is it,

someone like you come out to a country like this lady?

You can stop calling me lady.

Aren't you one?

You may call me, miss Hayes...

and as for my presence in this country,

I left a home and position to take my place,

as an educator, in the far west.

Where you come from?

Is everybody like you?

You mean, Boston?

Figures.

I take it you're averse to manners and gentleness mister Williams.

I'm not adverse to nothing in it.

You must be you dislike me and you show it.

Ma'am!...

It's bad manners to show it.

Yeah, yeah, I'm.

Then you know it.

I don't know anything but Calvary Lady.

Cavalry, 10 years worth.

You appear to be quite out of uniform.

And quite out of the cavalry.

I did what I was supposed to do.

My hitch ran out.

I said my goodbyes.

Wow!...

Mister Williams...

noone shirks his duty without a reason.

Were you as dismissed from the cavalry?

I wasn't dismissed.

Act when we're hit, we serve.

Because of your drinking?

Ma'am!...

You ever hear a cowardice?

Of course.

A man who proves himself to be a coward is accused of cowardice.

It's a descriptive noun.

It's a what?

I don't have to go into subject...

and predicate with you, do I, mister Williams?

No, I guess not.

What were you going to say about cowardice?

Nothing.

Nothing? Nothing...

I would say you know a great deal about nothing, mister Williams.

Just that it's hard to kill a human being

and if you do and makes you little sick...

and not anxious to do it again,

they put that word down against you.

Wow, it's!...

Not really in writing.

To keep on killing.

I guess you don't know what I mean.

I guess, I don't know myself.

I think we both know what you mean, Mr. Williams.

Is that what started you drinking?

Uh!...

Tell me, what was your trouble with the townspeople? Oh!...

That wasn't trouble. That was close to murder.

Did you murder somebody?

Drinking means trouble, doesn't it, mister Williams?

You's!...

Lady, miss Hayes.

You better keep your teaching nose to yourself,

because if you don't keep your teaching nose to yourself,

I'm just liable to let,

you walk, right here.

Now, you might find yourself in a little bit of trouble.

You're not serious, mister Williams?

You see it, don't you?

I mean about leaving me behind.

Hyah!...

Hyah!...

Wow!...

You can't stand.

But it's still daylight. Shouldn't we travel on?

We need a fire for bacon and coffee...

and a fire at night is a sure invitation for any red sticks.

Get em.

Wow!...

That's cooking, lady.

Thought you said you came out here to educate the west.

In what, lady?

If you want a hot meal,

mister Williams, you'll have to prepare it for us.

I'm not schooled in cooking under these conditions.

You'll have to accept that.

Don't you dare say it, mister Williams.

I heard you before.

Heard me what?

Take the lord's name in vain.

Mister Williams...

were you a commissioned officer in the cavalry?

I made Sergeant once but they broke me.

For drinking.

Oh, uh!...

Well, I'm sure that Sergeants,

know how to be gentleman, don't they?

Speak your mind, lady. Say it.

Oh, I'm, uh!...

Feel quite uncomfortable dusty...

and dirty what with all this travel

I should like to refresh myself with a dip in that river.

Furniture online.

Anyone the Desert Air gets cold at night?

No fryer.

Uh, well, that's not important,

but something else is.

What?

Can I trust you?

To what?

To stay here.

You can trust me.

On your one-time Sergeant's honor?

On my one-time Sergeant sauna.

Thank you, mister Williams.

Hmm!...

Oh, uh!...

Hmm!...

What was that?

But there's a dog, lady.

Uh, uh, over again?

It's a desert bird lady.

Didn't sound like a bird.

All right, then it's a red stick and a patch you know.

Go to sleep.

I'm frightened, mister Williams.

And, I'm cold.

Mister Williams.

Could I trust you, if I moved a little closer to you?

Only for a little more warmth and safety.

I'm ahead.

Can I trust you?

You can trust me.

On your one-time Sergeant honor?

One-time Sergeant Sonor.

One time Sergeant's honor.

Uh, good morning.

Hey, hey, yeah!..

Have I said the wrong thing,

or are you uncivil in the morning?

Sit down.

Alcohol does that, doesn't it mister Williams?

And strips mankind of his every vesture.

Shows him as he really is, doesn't it?

Oh, I've seen it happen before.

You're not the first one. Oh, no.

There are many like you. But none like you.

No, sir. There ain't nothing like you.

I don't, feel very hungry.

All right.

Get your bed rolled up, and store it.

Hyah!...

Would it have killed you to stop when my hat blew off?

Any stop now might kill both of us.

Here.

Thank you.

Mister Williams. Wow!...

Are they following us?

Mister Williams.

Mister Williams.

Yes!...

May I offer you some help?

What?

May I say, a prayer for you?

Now, just don't say nothing, lady. Nothing!...

It's the only help, often.

The guns, is the best prayer, I've been taught.

You just pray, for yourself.

I'll pray for both of us. No.

Just yourself, lady. Just yourself.

Uh, just yourself.

Hyah!...

Why do you dislike me?

Is it because I offer a threat to our safety?

Tell me, what would you do differently if I weren't with you?

Hmm-hm!...

I'm sorry we can't get along, mister Williams.

But then it is difficult, isn't it?

Under adverse circumstances. Yeah, yeah, yeah!...

Not so much the fact that we're caught up,

in an Indian war, but...

because we're from different worlds.

Hmm!...

I've tried have a nice.

I've been, a lady.

but because of your drinking,

you didn't see fit, treat me like a woman...

Happy.

What? Treated me as a woman.

Why?

Well, maybe it's because.

Because, you're not a woman,

you're, a lady.

I'm a lady, because I'm helpful.

Because I know good manners when I see them.

I'm genteel, because I come from Boston.

And I'm not a woman because,

I can't cook on dirty sand.

Because!...

because, I don't offer myself to you.

No, no, no!...

It's because your friend,

one and, one and, one lady.

they could, you stick your teacher knows

where it's not wanted, because.

They go again. Just like a greenhorn first,

Lieutenant fresh out, of West Point.

Short on experience and full...

of Theory.

That's quite enough, mister Williams.

Ha-a-a-a-a-a-a!...

Ha-a-a-a-a-a!...

I blame your drinking for your terrible conduct.

Yeah.

I shall be very happy, when we reach the settlement.

Me too, lady.

We will be rid of one another.

Yeah.

I'll still say, a prayer for you.

Yeah, yeah.

Wow!...

Ahu!...

Baby in the back.

They must be somewhere in the back.

Perhaps, none of the other cabins.

I hope they don't mind what, we just walked in.

I don't mind.

Uh, of course, their home is to, mister Williams,

are those warm food on the stove,

at the table set for four people?

I don't mind.

I'm Not Dead.

This is a strong form of the table set.

Uh, they must be somewhere around.

Hum!...

Hum!...

Same thing in the other cabins will be needing that it's.

Half empty. Well, it's been poisoned.

Yeah!

Just thinking how good that?

Let's get be right now.

I hope you're going to say a prayer for them.

Too many of them, lady, I'm short on prayers.

It's the least you can do. Least I can do is get out of here.

Well, it doesn't take that long.

No, it doesn't lady, but if we stay here long enough,

we might join him. Come on.

Hyah!...

And cross!...

I don't know.

Hyah, gere up, boys!...

I put the blankets down.

Uh, I put them down there.

You could at least say thank you.

You could say something.

Anything. Just say anything.

I can't stand the silence.

You haven't spoken at all, not since we left the settlement.

You're angry at me,

because, I threw away your whiskey.

That's it, isn't it?

That's why you're not talking to me, isn't it?

All right, mister Williams.

I apologize for throwing away your whiskey.

I've apologized. What more can I do?

Uh!...

Oh, I know your kind.

Oh yes, mister Williams.

I'm miserable part of the human race.

Men!...

Big men like you,

who find their strength in alcohol.

Men capable of destroying,

not only their careers,

but... their homes and their families.

Bringing shame and disgrace, to those who trust them.

Making a sham of love and respect.

Just talking ladies. Speak your peace.

Go and say it. Don't think I won't.

Don't think I don't know men like you.

Oh, I've seen them. Have you?

Yes, mister Williams.

My father.

My very own father.

Ruthless and cruel.

Godless like you.

Not caring for anyone, or anything.

Just self.

Self, mister Williams.

Now, you shut your mouth.

I've had just about enough out of you.

Random, raven, picking and chewing.

I may not have all the so-called manners you like...

and the more I think about it, the less I'd like to have

if it makes people turn off the likes of you. No!...

He's still alive.

Not for long, stay away from him.

Not too cougar.

Thar indian!... That can you say

Same white lady help me. Nothing please.

Hai!...

Hai, uh, hai!...

Hum!...

Hmm, hum!...

Uh, help, uh!...

Oh.

Uh, ohoo!...

Oh!...

Oh!...

Uh, oh!...

Uh!...

Uh, uh!...

Uh!...

You have to kill me, didn't you?

I guess so.

Could Have Been Me.

Are you, mister Williams?

Yeah.

Oh, uh, I'm Sorry, mister William.

Will you accept my apology for the way?

I spoke to tomorrow.

We better get some sleep Saints.

After I...

Care things.

You must think I'm a strange creature, mister William.

Uh, was ever since haven't,

Oh!... I acted rather I.

Oh!...

I, I certainly haven't been very helpful.

Have!... I can't rightly say miss Hayes

Miss Hayes, please?

Miss Hayes.

I'll try and do better.

Yes ma'am!...

Last night that, that Indian.

Hum, I, I, mean it's been such a nightmare.

All this killing.

Not what I expected.

Yes, ma'am.

It all seems so simple.

Promised school room,

a home to stay, with children to teach.

Mister Williams.

Don't worry too much.

If we can find water,

I'm sure we got a good chance to make it.

Thank you!...

Thank you!...

Hyah!...

When you turn loose

He's gone lame.

Climb!... Climb aboard.

Indians?

Could be the wind.

But, it's Indians.

I can't say.

Hyah!...

Come on!...

Miss Hayes, you hear me?

We can't stop. We gotta keep moving.

Come on.

Uh!...

Uh, I lived all, my life alone.

Never needed anyone.

Never needed anything.

But why?

Would it be all right...

if I prayed now?

I mean, maybe if the both of us, prayed, maybe it'd help.

Oh, yes, mister Williams.

Help me.

Yes!...

Would you teach me?

I don't even know how to start.

Should, I close my eyes?

Uh, you don't have to.

Just speak from your heart instantly.

Yes, ma'am.

God I want to ask you.

I!...

Well, maybe we've been apart so long.

Now, it's hard to say because, I...

Want something.

I hear our prayer.

Please give us strength,

to find our way out of this building.

Latest for your love, and your understanding.

Accept our thanks for your goodness.

And here are our prayer.

Uh, amen.

Hum!...

Thanks.

Uh, oh, uh!...

Uh, uh!...

Hum!...

Hmm!...

Uh, uh!...

Very wonderful just happened to, mister Williams.

What? All right.

I'm fine.

Merry Christmas, for you.

Uh!... Yeah!

Very happy.

Eh, see!...

Yes!...

I don't supposed to be right,

Praying for whiskey, now with it.

Uh!...

Ha-a-a!...

It's your hard to leave all that, good water back there.

What did I say?

Uh, ha-a-a!...

Uh!... I'm convinced that you'll find safety,

Mister Williams.

I know our prayers have been answered, I know it.

Look.

Something's moving.

I know it's help this time,

not Indians, but help, mister Williams.

Find out soon enough. Come on.

Come on!...

Well...

Mister, Hack Williams.

Is long way from home.

So are you, Hadley.

I still was a coward though.

I still fighting the war.

Do you remember? Don't you?

Yes!...

Very bad.

Not as bad, as the patrol I was with.

Hum!...

Some of them remember, you like me.

Oh, long my...

I'm, a lion.

It won't be for long.

You're in trouble suicide.

So is the patrol. Uh, uh!...

We, saw signs.

And the Lieutenant, sent me on ahead.

Get help from the fort.

Go on.

I ran across the war party.

I got away.

Patrol won't make it.

They'll Ambush.

Ambush.

Near Thunder Ken.

Do the outfit of Faith.

Warren! Warren!...

Warren Patrol.

Somehow.

We'll take his horse.

Look.

What are you going to do?

It won't be much use against the red sticks, it's for you.

They'll never let you get to them.

Just to keep out, of sight.

Look there

Hey, we have troops.

Hai!...

Oh, come on!..

Hey, let's spread out that's how we protect ourselves.

Uh!...

Cease fire!...

All right, your Chiefs then. Give up.

Tell her up. Uh!

There are remarkable Soldier.

That's what the Colonel called,

Oh, Lady.

To save many lives, mister Williams.

I didn't mean to you,

No meant to you...

My say, I am very happy.

I'm just happy, you go to, Boston.

Oh, my darling.

And... I...

You remembered, my name.

You ever forgive me for what I've been?

All the trouble I've caused you.

Lady, please

Lady?

I don't know your first name?

Uh!...

It's, Noah.

Noah...

I love you.

My name, is Thurston.

I'm the commanding officer here.

Yes, sir.

I guess you were little laughter, my hitch.

I've got a whole Cavalry Patrol. It's grateful to you.

And I had no choice. You had a choice.

And I get a reply to the dispatch that I send to Washington.

You'll find that we are not. The only grateful ones.

Yes, sir.

Thanks, sir.
