Milburn Stone as Doc, Amanda

Blake as Kitty, Ken
Curtis as Festus,

Newly, and starring

Whoa, whoa.

Howdy, Ross.

Well, hello, folks.

Welcome to Dodge.

There you go.

Watch your step.

Danny here'll your luggage
over to the Dodge House.

All right, Roy.

Here, Danny.

One more, Roy.

Easy There you go.

This is a big one, Roy.

Easy, now.

There.

We got it.

Thank you.

[music playing]

MALE SPEAKER: Look out!

FREIGHT CLERK: Good trip, Ross.

You're the freight clerk.

FREIGHT CLERK: Yes sir.

What can I do for you?

You're holding a trunk for me.

How long?

12 years.

12 years?

What's your name?

Benjamin Franklin Rando.

Ben Rando.

When you find it, would you
send it over to the Dodge House

together with my bag?

Thank you.

Sam not around?

No, sir.

Uh, we lost him a while back.

Oh, sorry to hear that.
He was a fine man.

Ah, he sure was.

Everybody around here
misses him a lot.

Yeah, there are so many
changes, so many new faces.

Well, I guess nothing
remains the same, does it?

No, sir.

It sure don't.

Can I get you anything?

Oh, a beer.

I'd like to see Miss Kitty
if she's still around.

She's still around, sir.

I'll have to see if she's free.

What's your name?

Well, just tell
her an old friend.

Yes, sir.

DOC: Hello, Ben.

Doc.

Doc Adams.

It's so good to see
a familiar face.

How are you, Ben?

Oh, I can't complain.

I'm here, not there.

You've lost some weight, Doc.

Yeah, well, fair
exchange, I guess,

for all the wisdom I've gained.

I could've used some of that
wisdom 12 years ago, Doc.

I never did thank you for taking
that bullet out of my leg.

It's the man with
Doc, Miss Kitty.

Thank you.

Ben Rando, for heaven's sake!

Miss Kitty.

Hello, Ben.

Marshal.

Miss Kitty, you look one day
older and 12 years prettier,

just like me.

Marshal, you owe me something.

What's that?

At least a gold star for
staying away from Kansas banks

for the last 12 years.

But you can put
your mind at ease.

I'm not going back to
that old profession.

Good, that'll save
me a few gray hairs.

You know why I
really came back.

Carrie?

She gonna be here
tonight like usual?

Well, she doesn't work at
the Long Branch anymore, Ben.

She quit about six
years ago and left town.

But she did come back last
month, and I understand

she's staying at Moss Molly's.

Well, I knew I'd
find her in Dodge.

But do you think you know
where I can find her right now?

Um, well I, um, I heard she
was working at the Bull's Head.

The Bull's Head?

That's no place for Carrie.

Well, I guess she felt a
little uneasy about working here

again after all that happened.

That wasn't her
fault, Miss Kitty.

That was all my fault. Well,
anyway, that's all behind us.

I came back here to make a
new life for me and Carrie.

Was nice seeing you again.

Miss Kitty.

[music playing]

Golly, Kitty, don't you think
you should have told him?

Told him what?

How can I tell a
man that the last 12

years that he's spent in
prison hasn't aged him

half as much as it has Carrie?

[music playing]

I'm looking for
Carrie Louise Thompson.

I understand she works here.

She's over there in the
corner having a drink.

Thank you.

[music playing]

Carrie Louise?

Got a word for an old friend?

[music playing]

Hello, Ben.

Hello, Carrie.

Heard about you getting out.

Didn't think it was till
the end of the year.

Got some time off
for good behavior.

Carrie--

When'd you get back to Dodge?

A little bit ago on a stage.

Must've been tough, all
those years in prison.

Well, the worst part
was being without you.

-I've got to go.
-Carrie, what happened?

What happened?

Years happened, Ben,
and all the emptiness

you left inside of me.

We're both different.

I wasn't much of a
prize to begin with.

I got to see a friend.

Carrie, I've thought only
about you for 12 years.

Well, I would have never
come back to this town

if I'd known you were out.

Can't you give me a moment?

I told you, I've
got to help a friend.

She's under the weather.

I'm going to cook
supper for her.

Carrie, when can I see you?

I'm working tonight, Ben.

Maybe tomorrow.

Great old gal, Carrie.

Any friend of hers
is a friend of mine.

Haven't seen you here before.

What's your name?

Ben Rando.

You're not the Ben Rando?

Well, never heard of any other.

Hey, listen!

We got a famous man
here-- Ben Rando!

Why, there wasn't a safe ever
made this man couldn't crack.

Come on, Ben!
Have one on the house.

Ben Rando!

Hey!

See what they said about you in
the police gazette last winter?

All we read in prison
was Godey's wish book.

Oh, Ben.

Ben, I just gotta
shake your hand.

You was the best.

Tell the one about the
Adams Express gunfight.

Oh, that.

I don't know why they tell
about that one-time fate got me

by the britches when they
could have told of the times

when I got away,
slick as a weasel.

I remember!

Oh, I remember that
time in Leadville

when you climbed down that
chimney of the bank and you

just-- you just coaxed
them two safes open

in less than 20 minutes.

Well, it was in every
paper all over the country.

Oh, those penny dreadfuls,
they dressed it up a bit.

Actually, that chimney was
just an old stove pipe.

And all I did was lift
it up and down the hole.

That was a long
time ago, old man.

The safes they got today might
give you a lot more trouble.

Well, I'll tell you
something, my friend.

Safes is just pieces
of metal put together

in different ways, that's all.

But safe cracking,
that's an art.

And an artist never
loses his touch.

Hey, you figure after 12
years, you're still an artist?

Retired artist, my friend.

Retired.

Permanent.

But if I had a mind,
there ain't a safe made

that these hands couldn't open.

So thanks for the drink.

So long, my friends.

-Goodbye, Ben.
-Bye-bye.

Bye.

Well?

What do you think of Rando?

Maybe.

[music playing]

[clock chiming]

[music playing]

Carrie?

Hello, Ben.

May I talk to you now?

I'm tired.

It's been a long night.

I just want to get home.

Well, let's go to
the Long Branch.

You can sit down and rest.

I'm not in the mood, really.

That's where we
first met, Carrie.

Come on.

For old times sake.

Huh?

All right, Ben.

[music playing]

Carrie.

Hello, Kitty.

It's nice to see you again.

We're just gonna sit
for a minute, Miss Kitty.

Sure.

Hey, is there anything
I can get you?

No, really.

Do you have some coffee?

Always have coffee
at this time of night.

Why don't you sit down,
and I'll bring it to you?

Thank you, ma'am.

Carrie, you remember you
used to stand at that piano,

and there wasn't
a man in the house

who'd take his eyes off of you.

That was a long time
ago, a lifetime ago.

Well, you know, sitting with
you right here, right now,

I feel like maybe
I've never been away.

You're living in
a dream world, Ben.

You're different, I'm different.

We're just not the
same people anymore.

Here you are.

Thank you, Miss Kitty.

Anytime.

Hot.

Carrie, can't we try?

Why did you come back?

Because you said
you'd be waiting.

And you are.

Stop living in the past.

You can't go back.

And if you try, you'll find
there's nothing there anymore.

I don't believe that.

I came here because I
have to work for a living.

I heard they were hiring
at the Bull's Head.

That's all.
-I want you to quit that place.

Carrie, I've got
plans for you and me.

How are you going to make a
living now that you're out?

How are you going
to make any money?

Well, I can get a job.

Work?

You?

The other way, like before.

No, that's all
behind me, Carrie.

You've got to believe me.

Believe you?

Why do I have to believe you?

After all the times
you lied to me?

-I know.
-You didn't come back for me.

You came back for
some jailhouse dream.

Carrie--

Ben, this is now.

Look at me.

I'm not the pretty
little fool I was.

I'm flesh and blood and full
of 12 years of hard living.

If you want the truth,
I didn't wait for you.

There were other men, Ben.

Lots of them.

I almost married one.

So why don't you just
forget all about me?

Carrie, wait.

Let's talk this thing through.

Sure, we can talk.

Why don't you come over
to the Bull's Head?

You can talk to me there.

Anybody can talk to me there
for the price of a drink.

[music playing]

Morning, Mr Burke.

You remember me?

Oh, sure, sure.

I remember.

You're, uh-- you're Ben Rando.

Mr. Burke, I'm
looking for a job.

You're what?

I know what you're
thinking, and I'd

be thinking the same
thing if I were you--

and old safe cracker,
12 years in prison,

never did an honest
day's work in his life.

And now he comes hat in hand
looking for work in a place

where he did his last job.

Why, that must be
the height of gall.

Sure.

And you feel like
saying no, right?

Right.

But you'd be wrong
because a man like

I describe you can trust
more than a man who's never

been tested by temptation.

Mr Burke, I'm asking you to take
a chance on the new Ben Rando.

You will never regret it.
-I don't know, Ben.

I don't think the
company would want

to hire the very man that broke
into their unbreakable safe.

Why, haven't you heard?

The Pinkertons and
Wells Fargo, they all

hire ex-convicts
to be their guards,

men who are expert in the
strategy of the big outlaws!

Now, that's the latest thing.

Well, yes, I have heard
something like that.

But I--

Mr. Burke, I've done my time.

And I've paid for the past.

All I want is a chance.

Well, I don't know, Ben.

I-- I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll wire the home office.

They don't object, well,
it's all right with me.

That's all a man can ask.

Ben?

Wagon's in.

Morning, Marshal.

Hello, Burke.

Ben.

Marshal.

How's he doing?

Well, when he asked me for
a job, I had my doubts.

But for a man his age,
he's a bear for work.

I appreciate you
giving him a chance.

Thanks.

This is yours.

Came to the office by mistake.
-Oh, yeah.

I've been waiting for this.

This is our monthly
routing instructions.

Thank you.
-See you later.

Well, Ben, Burke tells me
you're doing a good job for him.

Oh, for an old man,
I'm doing all right.

Surprised how good it feels
to get that pay envelope.

I'll bet.

Marshal?

I understand there was a little
trouble at the Bull's Head

last night.

Well, as a matter
of fact, there was.

Well, I was wondering
about Carrie.

Is she all right?
-Oh, yeah.

She's fine.

It was just the usual
Saturday night fracas.

Matter of fact, she
was asking about you.

She was?

Yeah.

Sounded real pleased
you had this job.

Oh?

I'll see you later.

[music playing]

Hello, Carrie.

Ben.

I hope there's no
one fixing on waling

you home because they'd have
to do it over my dead body.

Huh?

[music playing]

Heard about your new job
and how well you're doing.

Well, I try.

Ben, I-- I'm sorry about the
way I acted the other night.

I deserved it.

No, you didn't.

It's just that I was angry.

I mean, you came barging
back into my life

after I spent so many
years trying to forget you.

Then you did miss me.

Oh, Ben.

You're such a fool.

Welcome home.

I missed you so
much all these years.

More than you'll ever know.

Oh, Ben.

I wish with all
my heart we hadn't

lost each other as we did.

But I can't change that.

I can change the future,
though, if you'll help me.

But I'm afraid.

I mean, it's been
such a long time.

Maybe it's just too late.

Now, look, you told me about
not living in the past, right?

Well I'm telling you
there's a new Ben Rando.

I ran into him today, and
he's a might sturdy fella.

Just this afternoon, he
happened to go by a window

where Mr. Burke was
opening up a safe.

Now, nature would make him
look to see the combination.

By this time, the old
Ben Rando would be

thinking of a job for midnight.

But not the new one.

The new one just
grinned and said,

get thee behind me, Satan.

And you know something?

That old devil did.

Carrie, I ain't never going
back to that way again.

Never.

All I want is for
us to be together.

Oh, Ben.

You know, that sounds
like something we

would have said when
we were very young

and didn't know any better.

I still feel that way.

I want you to know about
that man I almost married.

He was a very fine man.

I know.

Who told you about him?

Nobody.

Didn't have to.

You wouldn't have
any other kind.

But so much has happened.

It doesn't matter.

I'm glad you're back.

Goodnight, Ben.

Goodnight.

[music playing]

What are you doing here?

Name's Barker.

Aaron Barker.

This here's Lem Hargis.

You remember us from
the Bull's Head?

We're a couple of fast-talking
drummers in town on business.

Lem's in leather.

I'm in pots and pans.

We specialize in banks
and express offices, too,

and we had the feeling
that you were looking

for a couple of partners.

Well, you've got the wrong man.

I'm retired, permanent.

You wouldn't have took no job
at Adams Express Office you

didn't have something in mind.

I had a job in mind.

Honest work, that's all.

Come off it, Rando.

We know you.

We done an awful
lot of checking up.

I want you two to get
out of this room right.

Now, go on.

Get!

We're not leaving
empty-handed, Ben.

If we don't take Adams
Express, we're gonna take

you all the way back to Texas.

[music playing]

What are you talking about?

[music playing]

Why, that was 17 years ago.

It's still in force.

Still on the books.

I served my time.

That was in the
state of Kansas.

Now, Texas, they're
still waiting on you.

I don't believe you.

We checked up on it, Ben.

It's all legal.

I don't believe that.

That was too long ago.

The seven-year
statute of limitations

didn't come out
until five years ago.

That means that this is
as valid today in Texas

is it was the day it was issued.

I'm not getting mixed
up in any crooked deals!

Wasting time, Aaron.

Either he does or he don't.

[music playing]

You're not a young
man anymore, Ben.

You only got a few
good years left.

How you want to spend 'em?

In some Texas hellhole or free
and clean on a sweet payday

from Adams Express?

You decide, Ben.

It's your life.

Or what's left of it.

[music playing]

Ben, I've got to go
out for a few minutes.

Would you watch the
front counter for me?

Certainly, Mr. Burke.

Thank you.

[music playing]

It's the monthly payroll for
Consolidated Mines of Colorado.

So I figure there has to
be at least $30,000 there.

Now, the Adams people
are nobody's fools.

They ship under heavy guard by
express stage straight through.

Now, they're due at
Dodge at 2:00 PM,

and then on to Garden City.

What would happen
if you two were

to knock out the
bridge between here

and Elbow Creek waystation?
-The bridge?

Right.

If you knocked out
that bridge, they'd

have to go all the way around,
back to Stone Creek Ferry

and around.

That would delay them
five, maybe six hours.

Yeah?

They'd get to Dodge
at about sunset.

Now, they're not about to
go to Hays in the dark.

So they'll sleep over, and
they'll put the fat payroll

in the Adams Express safe.

That's not bad, old man.

We dynamite the bridge?

No dynamite.

No dynamite.

Any deliberately
destroyed bridge is going

to make people wonder why.

I want you to pry
the supports loose,

and then throw them in the wash.

Make it look like a
flash flood did it.

Now, you sure you
can open that safe.

Now how do you think I looked
at the route instructions?

Mr. Rando, I heard
you were the best,

and I guess maybe you still are.

Sounds perfect.

We bust in, put a gun
to the guard's head--

No guns!
Now what are you talking about?

The only time I let some
trigger-happy hotshot

boys talk me into using guns,
I spent 12 years regretting it.

We're going to do it the
easy way, my way, with nobody

around.
-You're the boss.

You know best.

I like to think that.

You know, pride's a funny thing.

I figured I was
the best there ever

was until that stupid shootout.

But now that I sort
of got no choice

and I got to do it over
again, I want to do it right.

All I really want
out of it this time

is the feeling in my flesh and
blood that I can really do it.

As far as I'm concerned, there
isn't any doubt in the world.

Now, when this is over,
you two high-tail it out

of town with your
money, and I'll be

satisfied to remain right here.

You're the first one
they're gonna suspect

when they find the safe empty.

That's right-- if I run.

But if I set tight
right here in Dodge,

they'll figure it
couldn't have been good,

old Ben or he would have run.

You see, you don't
need any guns.

You just use the head.

Crime for someone
like you to retire.

With you calling
the shots, we could

clean out every safe
from here to Frisco.

Hey, Festus.

Ben, want a cup of coffee?

No, thanks.

Want to play a
game of checkers?

No, no.
No, no.

You know, Burke sent
these wanted posters over.

Came in the last pouch.

Oh, much obliged, Ben.

If that ain't an
ornery-looking polecat.

Look at them beady eyes!

You can tell right off
the bat that that there's

a desperate yahoo, can't you?

Now, you never was one of
them desperado's, was you, Ben?

I mean, you had some classomness
with what you done, didn't you?

Well, got me 12 years.

What was it they
used to call you?

Old slippery fingers?

Something like that?

Oh, police gazette
made that up.

You know, I've heard
folks say that you

was the onliest
feller that could

actual think with your fingers.

Now, how could you
do a thing like that?

Well, sometimes
you can do that.

Depends on the safe.

One is harder than another.

One you can drill,
another you can tap,

another you can feel and pull.

But and old safe like
that, I just like to let

it whisper its secret to me.

Whisper?

Yeah.

I put my ear on the
dial, and I turn slowly

so I could hardly feel it.

And then I hear
through my fingers.

What do you hear?

Worn spots on the tumbler
where it's stopped at a number

hundreds of times before.

And then I calculate
the sequence

of numbers, direction
of turn, frequency,

until I come to the number.

And that's it.

Sounds easy as
falling off a log.

BEN: Oh, the stage.

I'll see you later, Festus.

FESTUS: All right, Ben.

What happened to you, Clay?

The bridge was out.

Had to go down to
Stone Creek Ferry.

We were worried about you.

You don't think anybody'd
hit the stage with me

and Turk here, do you?

They don't pay me those
top wages for nothing.

Well, you can't go into
Garden City tonight.

It'll be dark in
less than an hour.

We figured we'd
stay here tonight.

Ben, you help me
with the cash box.

I want to put it in the safe.

Clay, you say the
bridge was out?

Well, not only out, Marshal.

There was a warning sign
close to a quarter mile

before we reached it.

Did you get a close
look at the bridge?

Yes, sir.

Drove right up to it.

Timbers were scattered
all down through the creek

like there was a flash flood.

Was there any other
signs of a flash flood?

I don't know.

I didn't pay much attention.

Why, is something wrong?

No.

No, it's all right.

Uh, why don't you and the
boys go get some rest?

You must have had a long day.

It was that.

Thank you.

[music playing]

How you doing?

Oh, sit down.

Hi, Kitty.

[music playing]

Can I get you a drink, Marshal?

No, no thanks, Floyd.

[music playing]

Anything you want
to talk about?

It shows, huh?

Only when you know someone
as well as I know you.

It's a funny thing, Kitty.

You know, I've always figured
when a man goes to jail,

commits a crime, pays for it,
why, he's got a right to come

out and lead a decent life.

Yeah?

And with that, he's got a
right to be free of suspicion.

So?

Well, take Ben Rando
there, for instance.

He's paid his debt to society.

Not only that, he
comes back to Dodge

and gets himself a good job.

Matt, you don't think he's
planning something again,

do you?

I don't know, Kitty.

I got no right to
suspect him of anything.

I don't even know that any
crime's gonna be committed.

I don't understand.

Well, it's just that
when you've been wearing

a badge as long as I
have, you get an instinct

when trouble's brewing.

And, uh, you've got
this instinct about Ben?

Well, take the stage.

It's supposed to be in at noon
today, got in six hours late

because a bridge was
out, the bridge that I

checked myself five weeks ago.

It was fine.

That could have happened at
any time since you checked it.

Well, that's true.

But how often does it
happen when the stage

is carrying a $30,000 payroll?

Matt, do you think
somebody deliberately

destroyed the bridge so
the stage would be late?

Late, all right.

Too late to go to
Garden City tonight.

Could be a coincidence.

Yeah.

Could also be a coincidence
that the money's being held over

here in an office
where the greatest

safe cracker in the history
of Kansas just took a job.

I just don't believe it.

I don't like to believe
it myself, Kitty.

But I can't take a chance.

Would you have
Floyd get Mr. Bodkin

and meet me over in front of
the bank in about 20 minutes?

Sure.

Matt, I sure hope you're wrong.

So do I.

Burke, get that payroll
out of the safe.

What?

I'm moving it to the bank.

BURKE: Well, has something
happened, Marshal?

No, it's just that the bank
vault's newer and stronger.

Wouldn't it be easier to
post a guard on the safe right

in the Express Office, Marshal?

No easier than posting
them at the bank.

Nobody could argue the
logic of that, Marshal.

Burke.

Yes, sir.

Now I'm beginning
to understand how

you got the reputation
of being the best

law man in Kansas, Marshal.

All in a day's
works, Mr. Rando.

I wanted that as
much as you do.

More, maybe!

But I've stayed out of trouble
a long time by facing facts.

When a deal goes
sour, it goes sour!

And only a fool goes after
it when that happens.

There's got to be a way.

A law man outfoxes you,
it's only smart to move on.

You might find better
pickings down Topeka way.

Ain't no pickings
worth $30,000!

And that's waiting for us
right down there in that bank.

I never seen the
likes of that safe!

It'd take me all
night to open it!

So we take all night.

You can't get into that bank.

Dillon posted a guard there.

Look, Bodkin opens the bank
at 8 o'clock sharp every day,

don't he?

Well, we're just customers.

We put a gun to his head,
he'll open that safe for us.

No gun!

Weren't you listening to me?

Prison took more than just
years away from you, Ben.

Took any guts you
might have once had.

You can't do it that way!

[music playing]

Listen!

You don't want to make that
trip to a Texas prison,

you stay out of it.
Understand?

[music playing]

I asked you a question, old man.

I understand?

I'll stay out of it.

[music playing]

And tonight's my last night.

I gave Bull my notice yesterday.

Ben?
-Oh, that's fine.

Fine.

Well, that's what
you want, isn't it?

Of course it is.

Why don't-- why
don't we leave Dodge?

Go west-- Colorado,
maybe even California?

Whatever you say.

We could just leave everything
behind us, start all over.

I've saved a little money,
enough to get us anywhere

you decide.

Oh, I've been doing so
much thinking and planning

for the last few days.

I feel young again
with you beside me.

But you're not beside
me, are you, Ben?

What?

You're somewhere
way off, by yourself.

I know that look.

It meant trouble before.

No, no.

You're just imagining things.

No.

Please, Ben, I know
when you're in trouble.

You can't hide it from me.

You never could.

Well, look, this is something
I've got to work out by myself.

Colorado, California.

It sounds good to me, just
as long as we're together.

Evening, Carrie.
Ben.

Evening, Marshal.

Evening, Marshal.

You don't have to bother
to walk me home tonight.

I'll be fine.

Goodnight, Marshal.

Goodnight, Carrie.

Anything wrong, Ben?

Oh, you know how it is,
Marshal-- the moods of woman.

Best not to try to
understand 'em, just

try to get along with them.

I know the feeling.
Goodnight.

Goodnight.

[music playing]

Hello, Ben.

Evening, Newly.

Miss Kitty.

Oh, what are you
doing up so late?

I just woke up.

Was on my way over to
the bank to spell Festus.

Wouldn't have some more
of that coffee, would you?

Yeah, I just made a fresh pot.

It's right behind the bar.

I'll get it for you Newly.

Thank you, Ben.

[music playing]

It's gonna be a long night.

Well, why don't you just
take the pot with you?

Appreciate it.

Here you go, Newly.

Thank you, Ben.

We'll see you.

[music playing]

[knocking]

[music playing]

Festus?

It's me.

How you doing?

Sure glad to see you get here.

This here place is lonesomer
than a graveyard at midnight.

I brought some coffee.

No, much obliged, Newly.

The only thing I want is
to get meself some sleep.

Lessen you want me to stay here
and jaw with you for a spell.

No, that's all right.

You go on ahead.
-See you in the morning.

All right.

[music playing]

[knocking]

Might be a good
idea if you stay

put in your room for a while.

I'm not going anywhere.

[music playing]

Good morning.

[music playing]

Good morning, Mrs. Hopewell.

It's a and nice day.

Sun always shines
when I can put a dollar

in the bank, Mr. Bodkin.

Good morning, Mr. Bodkin.

Name's Clyde Summers,
National Copper Well.

We expect to close a
big deal this morning,

we'll need a bank draft.

Well, I ought to be
able to accommodate you.

My teller should be here
in a very few minutes.

After you, ma'am.

Hello, Rick.

What's this?

Rick, hold my horse
for me, would you?

Ain't any money
in there at all.

Now what'd you do
with that payroll?

It was in there last night.

Let's get out of here.

MATT: Hold it!

[music playing]

I give up!

I give up!

[music playing]

Marshal, these men
tried to rob the bank,

but the safe is empty!

[music playing]

Marshal!

You throw that old
coot in here with us!

He was in on it, too!

Quiet in there.

Marshal, Ben only drugged Newly
and put him in the bank closet

it to save him
from those two men.

I know that, Carrie.

And if Newly's willing
to forget is, so am I.

But there's still a little
matter of $30,000 payroll

that's missing, plus $11,000
that belongs to the bank.

Oh, that.

Well, funny thing
about that, Marshal.

Now, let's see.

Three turns to the
right, stop at seven.

You're right about that
vault in the bank, Marshal.

It is a good piece of machinery.

Took me till just before
dawn to coax it open.

But then I had to do
something with all that money.

You see, Marshal?

He put it in your safe.

It's all there, Marshal.

And the payroll is
in this strongbox.

Ben, that was a
big chance you took.

Bigger than I thought.

I got to admit, I was
scared this morning

when you didn't go to
breakfast at 7:30 like usual.

Why in the name of common
sense didn't you just

tell me about this last night?

Well, Marshal,
after 12 years, I had

to prove I still had the touch.

A man's gotta have his pride.

I hope you understand
that, Marshal.

[cup clanging on bars]

HARGIS: You come on
in here, Marshal!

We got something we
want to show you!

What is it?

Take a look at that, Marshal.

This wanted poster's
17 years old.

Maybe so, but it's still
on the books, all legal.

Well, that's what they've
been holding over me, Marshal,

and why I had to do this
thing on my own last night.

I wanted you to catch
these two red-handed.

I didn't want to chance their
getting away with the money,

just in case
something went wrong.

You throw him in here, Marshal!

He's wanted in Texas!

Hey, mister, I don't
know anything about Texas.

I work in Kansas.

[music playing]

It's here, folks.
Come on.

Hurry up.

[music playing]

Congratulations.

Ben?

This is for Tom Dover
over at Fort Collins.

It's a letter of
introduction and reference.

Oh, Mr. Burke, thank you
very much for everything.

Kitty.

I hate goodbyes.

Just go and be happy.

I can't miss.

You will come and
see us sometimes, huh?

Shake a leg, folks.

We're running late.

Miss Kitty.

[music playing]

KITTY: Goodbye!

Good luck!
CARRIE: Goodbye, everybody.

BEN: So long, then!

FESTUS: Good luck to you!

I hate her.

Huh?

Everybody around here is
getting married except me.

Come on.

I'm buying.
