762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrncYWuAx8
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YsFI17vo0
(The gates to Fort Blood are open and Banks, Mo and Butch are loading their possessions onto a wagon. The Grand Commander makes his way over to Butch.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeANiMzvti
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1tM6jeesx
GRAND COMMANDER
You sure you want to do this?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGWtonHIx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp4ET2uNlA
BUTCH
I'm sure, Sir.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlAmC5pquN
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nfNolMenv
GRAND COMMANDER
What is a man like you going to do out there? You're a soldier. You were a soldier the moment you stepped through those gates. Hell, you were a soldier even before that.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGinFYIzf3p
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNDgRm2ANS
BUTCH
I have been a soldier for a long, long time. I just want to try not being one for a while. See how it suits me.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaN9ArVkPA
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M23ydz8kj
GRAND COMMANDER
Would it make any difference if I told you that you would be running this joint when I'm gone? I ain't got too many years left.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70yFlTApVB
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRztmKIqkf
BUTCH
Mean old bastards like you live til they are 110.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9JEFGQQ2
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW5scTg9wY
(Both men laugh.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLCPnw5nw
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp9XXXiQ6Z
GRAND COMMANDER
Then you are really gonna do it? You're really heading west?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89mmwAOOBI
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi3nA4mwnS
BUTCH
Westward bound I am.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhC6qM6B78
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNBXN3VwIl
GRAND COMMANDER
What the hell are you going to do in the west? Pan for gold? Become a skinner? Maybe you could be a barber?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHant9wWEo3
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34k2FuCZOY
BUTCH
Meet a nice girl. Have a few kids. Grow old together. Sit in a rocking chair on my porch and chew tobacky and watch my grandkids raise hell.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNy8C9iDC7
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PMf7DJarY
GRAND COMMANDER
Horse shit. You'd be bored to damn death after the first month on a farm.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6KyfaMmBm
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJLVXOQ8f
BUTCH
Who said anything about a farm? The Queen sent out a call for lawmen since Hendrick's Pass opened up after the quake. And I figure since I'm accustom to getting shot at being a Marshall might suit me.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4LZs3hXO4
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lfgKmwo2o
GRAND COMMANDER
I guess I've heard worse ideas.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRQmIeFB3X
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOu6xqrI1K
BUTCH
I'm usually the one pitching those horrible ideas to you.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtD3cigLbW
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJT9zl0E5F
GRAND COMMANDER
Compared to most of these yahoos your ideas are pure gold.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAmksudeJo
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6DJVXjIrz
BUTCH
Maybe I'll go be the Queen's main idea man. Get rich doing nothing but winging out one bad idea after another.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWvNWOtz4D
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bv7wDy8DW
GRAND COMMANDER
That sounds like a fine idea right there. You might be on to something.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgV5XYiWdp
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wVYa8f4Wi
BUTCH
Well it's settled then.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyklpHj12ZG
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50sybygWcZ
GRAND COMMANDER
I wish I could spare you some horses, but you know how things are right now.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90pTpluXc8
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jGQRWYOfF
BUTCH
I walked in here without shoes. I'm leaving here on a wagon with decent boots on my feet. I'm coming out ahead.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WuZffxrV8
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr4C85AN8P
(The Grand Commander shifts uncomfortably. He reaches into a pack he is carrying and pulls out an elaborately carved wooden box. He hands it to Butch.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojjOOx0034
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm6AWw5Via
BUTCH
What's this?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BxB4fCoo9
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EE4iYgepe
GRAND COMMANDER
A going away gift. When you told me you were leaving last year I had this commissioned for you.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYhhEoU2ej
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wVBFhH2x
(Butch takes the box and opens it. A black and silver six shooter is inside of the crushed velvet insides. The grip of the gun is jet black with a crimson flag engraved on it. It is a beautiful gun. Butch gives the pistol a once over and looks over every nook and cranny.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUx9WXxQB1
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpBpouhHHb
BUTCH
Sweet damn! You're giving me Red Fire?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRPQxZZJVg
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZypqG7bxya
GRAND COMMANDER
Hell no I'm not. It's Red Fire's twin.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOVG8mMMoj
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRByKTwTpLU
(The Grand Commander pulls his pistol, Red Fire, from its holster and holds it up next to Butch's new gun. They both look almost exactly the same.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS5pxMAUaJ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxr3vLMU1E
BUTCH
It's twin? It's so light. And balanced. Is this from the Capitol?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW9R5EUjtj
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIt8iEg33x
GRAND COMMANDER
That it is. Had the enchantments laid on it by Ingram himself in the capital. You won't come across its like again.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3LN2KLjrp
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ8dm5OY1J
BUTCH
This is an Ingram? Dear gods! But how could you afford this? Even the lords of the high houses have a hard time scraping together enough for an Ingram!
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFEtokov84
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRCXf1QqJ1
GRAND COMMANDER
Let's just say I called in a few favors. Ingram himself owed me one. That's the fine thing about being the Grand Commander of a fighting force like ours. After a while high ups start owing you lots and lots of favors. It's called Scarlet Rain. May it bring you luck and prosperity in your endeavors as a marshal.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxg5iLS9cM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEF9N7ERB5
BUTCH
I can't take this, Grand Commander. It's too much.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNmQLzVhFZ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BQqmbos46
GRAND COMMANDER
You can and you will. You're the finest soldier I've ever had the pleasure of serving with. You deserve it.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7ZNmgLgKh
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGqqNvYOs
BUTCH
It'll never leave my side. When I'm laid to rest it will go to my first born son. And his after.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEl8KE3qN7w
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeipf7x1Hqw
(The two shake hands. )
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPEHXzaWFP
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcL0jUq0dH
GRAND COMMANDER
Giving you this widow maker isn't the only reason I'm here. I have two favors to ask of you.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2S8ptVS0L
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5hN2RR27O
BUTCH
If I can be of assistance you know I will.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6pFK7ZTek
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC8GM8D7Gl
GRAND COMMANDER
I know you will. The first thing I have to ask is Brigade business.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuWcCRWgnH
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSmRru1Ba7
BUTCH
How so?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkNCmoI2gX
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNI5FsMsVt
GRAND COMMANDER
Billy and Eustace got back from Jackson's Point this morning. Marius deserted sometime in the night.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4td1onebfL
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek1ac78Ye4
BUTCH
Son of a bitch. Mari? He don't seem like the deserting type.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ65IJtHlux
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIwotHyFdn
GRAND COMMANDER
I didn't think so neither.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNuUdLX6be
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5PPv2AXQ9
BUTCH
They sure?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhECR3cMFx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fu6m99Veq
GRAND COMMANDER
He was talking about some woman he had on the way to Jackson's. Got to drinking that night and said he couldn't live without her no more. In the morning he was missing. As was his horse and belongings. Local drunk said he seen him mount up in the wee hours and head west.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCrjxGgHwx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3P4LLTML
BUTCH
Well I'll be. Why didn't Billy and Eustace track him?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ838ox6BMXn
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG5m73zQZV
GRAND COMMANDER
They had a wagon full of supplies and nobody to guard it. With Reverend Rose in the area it was too dangerous for one of them to go alone. So they hightailed it back here knowing we would send someone to find him.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGkJalgjXB
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvJysK0nHY
BUTCH
You want us to keep an eye out for him?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t2DmaJy6d
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcorxsG2AY
GRAND COMMANDER
If it wouldn't be too much trouble. I'm sending Raymond, Reggie and twenty men south in case he heads that direction, but my bet is he'll be headed for Hendrick's Pass like you. So it will be likely you will cross paths at some point heading west. We can't have deserters.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhYGQScnIJ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xcLnW0Ck7
BUTCH
No we can not. If I find him I'll do what needs to be done.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlprbvBVehv
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB2pWttMuW
GRAND COMMANDER
I knew I could count on you.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFvlHdtA4V
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKSfFXOLH
BUTCH
And the other favor?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UrGUUhwXx
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyhvgzrtg5
GRAND COMMANDER
This one's of a personal nature. My son, Eddy, is looking to head west like you.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dBXgmZPCn
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIcYNYqrHb
BUTCH
He out of the stockade?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq9MiTtYCI
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBAmlLbKp
GRAND COMMANDER
(With a shameful look and tone in his voice.)
The irons were taken off today. He was dishonorably discharged this morning.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVfMvviKtu
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssmibZQt8J
BUTCH
Eddy might not have been a good soldier, but he is fine company to keep on the road. It'll make the trip a damn sight more livelier with him.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmpK0Xe4i
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrU9tBiWty
GRAND COMMANDER
(Smiling once again)
That it will. If you could just get him as far as Evergreen without any bullet holes in him I would be much obliged.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24sCDQnlvR
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB8wBwUXSE
BUTCH
It'd be my pleasure, sir. It looks like the others are ready. Is Eddy packed for travel?
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1JGdm6Yh
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kcyas8jF9
GRAND COMMANDER
I packed his belongings for him. They are already on the wagon.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHK09WMf99
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OI6UbtiPJ
BUTCH
Well then I'll go fetch him.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfn913THLD
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRCEsr8OTW
GRAND COMMANDER
No need. Here he comes.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76wG93SjZe
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu9GAd3WxV
(Eddy comes out of the stockade room with a long coat and shabby looking hat. He has a rifle strapped across his back. He walks to Butch and the Commander.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip25Mk9j6e
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WT4knVitT
EDDY
(Addressing the Commander.)
Well, Pa, I guess this is goodbye.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCSUwXUuie
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Pemn9nlQ
GRAND COMMANDER
It is. Keep your nose clean. I had to pull a lot of strings to keep you out of the dungeon at the keep. Out west you're on your own.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3OvbmkEPM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVnKmLrNcd
EDDY
Awwwww is that your way of saying you'll miss me? You'll miss throwing me in the stockade every other week.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHohVYCke5
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35o5fUo8Gy
GRAND COMMANDER
I ain't mixing words with you today, Eddy. I secured you passage to Evergreen. Goodbye.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgPn34hox
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunIrbf58E6
(The Grand Commander nods to Butch then spins on his heel and walks away. )
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4rUFp54L0
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27QBhrhtk2
BUTCH
It's been a while, Little Ed.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs6JVmFlus
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpNGWsa8In
EDDY
Indeed it has, Butch my man. I would have written, but the jailers in the stockade have kept me all kinds of busy. I'm pretty sure one of them was sweet on me.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMYVKWc4U
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyY5I3Z3Kp
(Both men laugh.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DATSAo4dE
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BjjMzoL15
BUTCH
It's good having you with us. Your obscenities are always welcome on the trail.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTca09KkiR
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezxOrzQZyG
EDDY
(Jumping on the wagon.)
Let's get out of this shit hole.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLtcciRODM
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeaHX6BYcj
(Butch whistles loudly.)
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd30dOT3fSF
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZY4fdO1H
BUTCH
Banks! Mo! Let's hit the trail. I want to be at Dusty's before nightfall!
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DSMMCxujV
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sBFtbCQcS
MO
Hey have you guys seen Mari? I have some throwing knives I want to give him as a parting gift.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9xwlhLJg
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJYaqxZ8Lv
BUTCH
(Looking troubled. )
I'll tell you about Mari on the way.
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDtUGWT7NZ
762Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g69dk9af4
(Banks and Mo say their final goodbyes to their fellow soldiers then hop on the wagon. The soldiers all wave goodbye to their friends. Except for Eddy. Eddy stands up and moons everyone as the wagon is heading out the gate. Everyone laughs. Even the Grand Commander cracks a smile before shaking his head and walking away.)
