Coyote Canyon

[discussing Tex and Smokey]

Marshal Kelly:
I was just wondering whether there was any connection between their arrival and the Steele outbreak.

Barlow:
You're on the wrong track, Marshal. Those men are all right. I'd bet my life on it.

Marshal Kelly:
Well, if you ever have to, I hope you win.

Jack Steele:
I picked this up in Parkersburg the last time I was there.

[hands Tex and Smokey a wanted poster]

Jack Steele:
You both take good pictures.

opening title card:
In the early eighties, pioneers in covered wagons rumbled across the plains and mountains, extending the already far flung frontiers. But unfortunaely for them, the tide of empire moved westward faster than did the forces of law and order.

[Tex spots a runaway stagecoach careening down the road]

Tex:
Smokey, is there a driver on that stage?

Smokey:
Must be, but I don't see him.

Tex:
I don't either. Let's go take a look.

Smokey:
Not me! We're in enough trouble as it is.

Tex:
Come on!

Smokey:
I ain't a-goin'.

Tex:
You know, if Deuce is right, this is the way into Coyote Canyon.

Smokey:
I gotta a feelin' if we go in there, we ain't fixin' to come back.

Tex:
Suppose we find out if your hunch is right or not.

Jack Steele:
I understand you boys have traveled a long way to see me.

Tex:
From Valley Falls.

Jack Steele:
Why?

Tex:
I figured you owed me and Ben here somethin'.

Jack Steele:
Again why?

Tex:
Well, you see, some folks think I'm Jack Steele.

Jack Steele:
Don't you like the name?

Tex:
Oh, nothin' wrong with that, but without the kind of protection you have, it's kinda tough gettin' by.

[after capturing the murderous Steele gang, Tex rides off singing to pretty Jane Barlow]

Smokey:
Ain't that just like a man - gets out of one scrape and then heads right smackydab into another.
