Johnny Ringo

Jack Walsh:
[to Cully] I'm going to have to teach you how to behave to your elders. The lesson's gonna kill ya.

Laura Thomas:
Johnny, you don't understand. You see, he must know you're back by now wondering where he is. You're the one he's hiding from!

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Then I'm the one who has to find him.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
All this time I've been handling guns and not knowing what they do. Okay folks, step right in and watch Cully the Wonder Kid shoot the cigarette out of the lady's mouth. Watch him blow out a candle at a hundred paces - only this time the candle was a man's life.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
What happens now? Does it get any easier?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
No, it'll happen anytime you face a man. The badge will help, but it won't change what happens to you inside... however, it does give you the right to fight for what the badge stands for. The important thing is never abuse that right. I know you never will.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
He's dead.

Johnny Ringo:
I'm afraid he died ten years ago, Cully

[last lines]

Paul Connell:
These things that happened... they'll haunt me the rest of my life.

Johnny Ringo:
Paul, you saw what a memory did to one man. You'll be a lot wiser if you do everything you can to make your sister forget all this. Then, maybe, she'll have a chance to remember something else.

Paul Connell:
What?

Johnny Ringo:
How to speak. Goodbye.

[Case has been shot during a robbery]

Laura Thomas:
Johnny! Johnny! Behind the counter... is he badly hurt?

Johnny Ringo:
He's dead.

[Ringo and Cully search the murderer's saddlebags]

Johnny Ringo:
A deck of cards - Eden, Arizona. I've heard of that town. It's on the border.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
It's a wild place, Johnny. They wouldn't even let the carny play there.

Johnny Ringo:
Go get Willis and Thompson; I'll deputize them. They can watch our things while we're gone.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
What about Laura?

Johnny Ringo:
I've asked Moss Snyder to take care of her.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
How long are we going to be gone?

Johnny Ringo:
As long as it takes.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
I think the boy you're looking for is Al Parker - at least from your description.

Johnny Ringo:
Is he in town?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
No, he rode out about a month ago. We're lucky enough not to see him since.

Johnny Ringo:
Where would he be if he came back to town?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Could have gone across the border into New Mexico, but I doubt it. No, if Al Parker's in town, there's just one place he'd be.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Where's that?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
The Garden of Eden.

Johnny Ringo:
The Garden of Eden?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Mm-hmm. I'll introduce you to the proprietor - he's a very interesting man. But make no mistake, Sheriff - this Garden of Eden is no paradise.

Kirk:
Ringo? That's a famous name. I don't recall associating it with a badge.

Johnny Ringo:
People change.

Kirk:
Let's drink to that.

[Ringo shows the deck of cards advertising Kirk's saloon that he found in Parker's saddlebags]

Kirk:
What's this supposed to mean?

Johnny Ringo:
You tell me - he was carrying it.

Kirk:
Well, you carry a gun. Does that mean you're a friend of the man who made it?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Why don't you tell him the truth, Kirk. Parker's a friend of yours. His father lent you the money to build this place.

Kirk:
That's right. I paid him back.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
By protecting his son?

Kirk:
Don't press me, Pike.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Don't give me a reason to.

Johnny Ringo:
[discussing Kirk] Is he telling the truth?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Known Kirk for a long time. Sometimes he's the most honest man alive.

Johnny Ringo:
How 'bout now?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
He's lying through his teeth.

Johnny Ringo:
Where are the New Mexico authorities?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Not too far. They can arrest him and hold him until we get get him.

Johnny Ringo:
Cully, you stay here and keep an eye on Parker. If he leaves, follow him; if he steps across that line, arrest him; if he draws on you... kill him.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Watch the muzzle of that gun, mister!

Kirk:
Calm down, kid, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. When you draw on a man, he's the center of the world and you can't see anything else.

[Cully turns and discovers Parker, the man he was watching, has disappeared]

Johnny Ringo:
Well, Pike, you're the sheriff here.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
You want me to arrest Kirk? For what? Knocking Parker across the border? Giving your deputy a shooting exhibition? No, Kirk never breaks the law; he just bends it.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Maybe you have a clean town, Ringo; I don't. You see, we're right on the border. That means that every saddle tramp and gunslinger in the country passes through here and once they go across that border, they laugh at me. I've been sheriff here for sixteen years and it's taught me to compromise a little.

Johnny Ringo:
Compromise with men like Kirk?

Sheriff Frank Pike:
Maybe. Sometimes I think Kirk does more for this town than I do. People are ever in trouble, they go to him, not me. A man like Kirk, well, maybe he ought to be in jail. I don't know... but he'll ride a hundred miles to help a friend and there's not a man in this whole territory that wouldn't ride for him. Maybe he's not always within the law - it's hard to say. In this part of the country he *is* the law.

Johnny Ringo:
You sound like you like him.

Sheriff Frank Pike:
I guess I do... but if he ever steps out of line, I'll hang him.

Kirk:
Look, this is between Parker and me. I'm going up to the cabin tonight. If he lied, I'll bring him back.

Julie:
Take Pike and Ringo with you.

Kirk:
You worried about my health, Julie?

Julie:
*Somebody* has to.

Gabe:
Julie, take my advice, Julie. Stay out of it.

Julie:
Didn't your mother tell you about girls like me, Gabe? We're all hard.

[Ringo shoots Kirk's former friend, Parker, in a gunfight]

Johnny Ringo:
I'm sorry, Kirk.

Kirk:
I'm not.

[last lines]

[Laura has left Johnny a letter explaining why she has left town]

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
What does she say?

Johnny Ringo:
She says she has to get away for a while; couldn't stand the sight of Velardi since Case was killed.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Will she be back?

Johnny Ringo:
I hope so.

Case Thomas:
You know, sometimes you remind me of your mother.

Laura Thomas:
Good for me!

Case Thomas:
No - good for me.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
[discussing Clay Horne] Johnny, wasn't he the sheriff of Abilene at one time?

Johnny Ringo:
For a year - but his reputation meant more to him than his job. I knew it wouldn't last long. Once a man lives by a gun, it's almost impossible to stop.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
You did.

Johnny Ringo:
But Horne couldn't. Since Abilene, he's killed eight men.

[discussing a man that Clay Horne shot]

Dawes:
Doc says there's not much he can do. He's only got a few hours left.

Kincaid:
So does Clay Horne. Come on.

Johnny Ringo:
You know, Clay, a miner works in dirt, but a gunfighter wallows in it.

[last lines]

Clay Horne:
We'll meet again.

Johnny Ringo:
Well, if we do, make sure you get more than five hundred dollars.

Clay Horne:
...Yeah, I'll do that.

Johnny Ringo:
But spend it first.

[first lines]

[Coffin Sam kills a saddle tramp in a gunfight]

Coffin Sam Sabine:
I had the handle of this gun carved from a dead man's coffin. Each of them notches is the last mark left by eleven men.

[Sam uses the dead man's gun to shoot another notch in the handle]

Coffin Sam Sabine:
I like to give anyone a chance to shoot once - even if they're dead. Tell your kids about this... that you saw Coffin Sam Sabine in action. It'll make a hero out of all of all of you!

Johnny Ringo:
A reputation can make a man feel mighty big... and mighty lonely.

Billy Counts:
Old Coffin Sam just layin' out there face down in the dirt - it ain't fittin' that a man should end up like that.

Johnny Ringo:
That's the way most gunslingers end up.

Johnny Ringo:
The West is growing up. Gunslingers aren't heroes any more - they're killers... and that's the way they usually treat it.

Claire:
I still don't understand why we came to Velardi when were closer to Tucson. We could have cleared a couple of hundred there. We'll be lucky to squeeze a short fifty out these rubes.

Max Healey:
Tucson doesn't have Johnny Ringo

Claire:
Johnny Ringo!

Max Healey:
He's going to make us a million dollars... just bein' dead.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
I didn't kill that boy's father, Laura. That's the truth. I swear it!

Laura Thomas:
Well, why do they do it? Why do people make up stories like that?

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
I don't know, Laura. I've often wondered about that myself. Maybe it's the animal in some men or the weakness or the aching to talk about it or simple ignorance. You name it.

[to Dolan, his former partner]

Arnold Riker:
Don't worry about spendin' any time in Yuma prison... because I'm going to kill you. Ringo or no Ringo, I'm going to kill you.

Johnny Ringo:
Take care of things while I'm gone.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
All three rings, maestro.

Boone Hackett:
Let's ride out of here.

Florey Tamlin:
Where to?

Boone Hackett:
Velardi.

Florey Tamlin:
Have you gone crazy?

Roy Kretcher:
Velardi's too close to Weaverville. That town's got lynch fever.

Boone Hackett:
I said Velardi.

Roy Kretcher:
But why?

Boone Hackett:
Pure sentiment. I may want to put a flower on my grave.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Do you think he's still alive?

Johnny Ringo:
I don't know what to think, Cully, but I know there couldn't be two men like Boone Hackett. Even the Devil couldn't stomach it.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
How do you figure a woman like that takin' up with Boone Hackett?

Johnny Ringo:
You don't. I figure there are three ways of thinkin' in this world - the right way, the wrong way and a woman's way.

Boone Hackett:
Look, I'm buried in that graveyard. The only way I can keep alive is to stay dead!

Boone Hackett:
Don't sign it, Lydia. Don't sign it and we'll be like we always used to be and I promise I'll buy you things just like I did before.

Lydia Hackett:
Hmm. All the things a woman likes to remember, Boone? A lace dress, a pair of earrings, a diamond ring - all bought with a gun... and a bullet in someone's back.

[discussing an exhumation order for Hackett's alleged grave]

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
What if she decides not to sign that paper?

Johnny Ringo:
One way or another I'll find Boone - with a shovel or with a gun.

[examining clods of red clay on the carpet]

Johnny Ringo:
Who do figure visited Mrs. Hackett at the hotel?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
A ghost maybe.

[Ringo and Cully trail Mrs. Hackett and find signs of a struggle]

Johnny Ringo:
Blood!

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Who'd want to hurt Mrs. Hackett?

Johnny Ringo:
Boone Hackett, maybe.

[reading his tombstone]

Boone Hackett:
Boone Hackett - born 1841, died 1876. Put flowers on my grave, Florey. I've been neglected.

Boone Hackett:
Now let's dig up this grave before somebody else does.

Florey Tamlin:
I-I got no stomach for this, Boone.

Boone Hackett:
I don't want your stomach. I want your hands!

[Boone and Florey locate the coffin at the bottom of Hackett's grave]

Florey Tamlin:
Boone, if there's a body in there...

Boone Hackett:
What's in this box ain't dead, Florey. It's alive!

[pulls a rock from the broken casket]

Boone Hackett:
Look, Florey, I've turned to stone!

Florey Tamlin:
That's all that's in there?

Boone Hackett:
A lot more rocks to give it weight and a little somethin' here to pay us for our diggin'.

[pulls saddlebags full of money from the casket]

Johnny Ringo:
All right, Hackett, now we're even.

Boone Hackett:
Against you, Ringo, there's no such thing as even.

Johnny Ringo:
Make a move - give me an excuse.

Boone Hackett:
I got my hands up.

Johnny Ringo:
Put one of 'em down - that's all it takes to draw.

Boone Hackett:
Not against you, Ringo. What's it prove if I come in second.

Johnny Ringo:
So far, you've won 'em all... or is that because their backs were turned?

Johnny Ringo:
[to Hackett] Now maybe if I drop my gun you can grow a spine.

[to Hackett's corpse lying on top of his tombstone]

Johnny Ringo:
I'm going to have to change that date.

[last lines]

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
It's funny... Hackett was digging his own grave and he didn't even realize it.

Johnny Ringo:
Yeah. Well, he got out once - let's see if he can do it again.

Johnny Ringo:
Cully, be careful with that filing. I couldn't find a poster on that Reno hold-up man this morning.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Right here under "C".

Johnny Ringo:
Why under "C"?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
He was caught.

Johnny Ringo:
What about the file on those released prisoners?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Under "L".

Johnny Ringo:
"L"?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Let go.

Agnes St. John:
I-I'm all right. It's just the heat.

[Agnes staggers into Johnny's arms]

Johnny Ringo:
This Arizona sun is more brutal than you think.

Agnes St. John:
Everything about Arizona is more brutal.

Jason the Blacksmith:
Heard about the stage hold-up?

Arch Ganzer:
Yeah. Terrible thing.

Jason the Blacksmith:
I figure I know who done it.

Riley Criswell:
Why tell us?

Jason the Blacksmith:
Just thought it might be worth a little something from somebody to keep my mouth shut.

Arch Ganzer:
[cocking pistol] Somebody could shut it for the price of a bullet.

Arch Ganzer:
I don't much cotton to killin' women.

Riley Criswell:
She's not a woman - she's a witness.

Johnny Ringo:
I might have guessed.

Agnes St. John:
What does that mean?

Johnny Ringo:
Instead of visiting some of the ranches and farms to get a look at the real West, you'd naturally pick this. No better place to find skeletons than Boot Hill.

Johnny Ringo:
Cully, keep an eye on her.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Yeah...

[discovering Ringo wants him to follow a beautiful woman]

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Yeah!

Johnny Ringo:
How long do you want to hold him?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Throw away the keys. That one belongs in a cage.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
I asked you a question. What's your name

Billy Joe Jethro:
If a woman's eyes are gray / listen close what she's got to say. / If a woman's eyes are black / give her room and plenty of track. / If a woman's eyes are blue... Ah, deputy, I forgot to look. Are her eyes blue?

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Just give me your name.

Billy Joe Jethro:
If a woman's eyes are blue / she'll be always true to you. / But if a woman's eyes are green / whip her with a switch that's keen... Bill Jethro. Billy Boy Jethro.

Johnny Ringo:
Well, I'd like to know where he came from and who he is.

Case Thomas:
Didn't ya talk to him?

Johnny Ringo:
I don't want to get near him again.

Laura Thomas:
Why not?

Johnny Ringo:
I might break his neck.

Billy Joe Jethro:
Mm-hmm. Steak, taters, corn bread, even custard. You did remember, didn't you?

Molly Crawford:
Fixed it myself.

Billy Joe Jethro:
Why all this attention?

Molly Crawford:
When you told me I was pretty, I didn't ask you any questions, did I?

Billy Joe Jethro:
Why aren't you still dancin'?

Molly Crawford:
There comes a time when you turn in your spangles for an apron.

Grat Jethro:
His face looks different - kinda twisted like.

Frank Jethro:
It sure ain't like it was when he was lookin' around for some gal to shine up to.

Gabe Jethro:
They wiped the smile clean off his face... but we'll put it back.

Gabe Jethro:
Any way you skin a cat, it comes out without his hide on, don't it? Fact is, Mr. Ringo, my boy is dead.

Johnny Ringo:
Didn't it ever occur to you he was trying to kill me?

Gabe Jethro:
It still ain't too late.

Molly Crawford:
I was lonely and he told me I was pretty.

Johnny Ringo:
Doc Bardell is on his way over, Molly, so you'll be alright. Just remember to live with what you've got, not what you had. Oh, and thanks for the gun.

Molly Crawford:
Am I under arrest?

Johnny Ringo:
Like I said, thanks for the gun.

It isn't right that a man should go out that way.

Johnny Ringo:
Laura, I'm not sayin' it's just her imagination. I'm sayin' there's nothing to back up her story. Now what do you want me to do? Go out there and plant a body in the middle of the that clearing so she won't look like a liar?

You're not calling it imagination... You're calling her a plain liar!

Well, what kept you, Mr. Fastest-Gun-in-the-West? Do I have to rot in this dirty jail while you stopped to read one of your precious books? Ow were you kissin' babies?

Johnny Ringo:
Mamie, I'd like you to meet my deputy, Cully. He's been dyin' to meet you.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
How do you do, Miss Murphy. Glad to know you.

Mamie Murphy:
Don't blame you, sonny.

Johnny Ringo:
Now, Mamie, what's this all about? Ever since I've known you, you've lied and cheated and served watered drinks throughout the West, but that's not enough to hang you.

Mamie Murphy:
Don't you preacher me, Mr. Johnny Ringo! How else am I supposed to make a living in a rat hole like this - makin' fudge for chuch bazaars?

Johnny Ringo:
You know, that's not a bad idea. A few church bazaars might do you a lot of good.

Johnny Ringo:
Hanging a woman doesn't appear to bother you.

Jim Miller:
Bein' a woman is a priviledge she gave up when she murdered Dave Matthews.

Johnny Ringo:
This town seems anxious to get rid of Mamie.

Bill Jacobs:
We'd all be better off without her.

Johnny Ringo:
Maybe, but it seems to me like someone is tryin' to bag two deer with one shot.

Bill Jacobs:
Now just what do you mean by that?

Johnny Ringo:
Anyone who heard Mamie threaten Matthews could have killed him knowin' Mamie would get the blame.

Deputy Cully 'Kid' Adonis:
I've got Carlos Garcia locked up in there - the Tiger of Sonora.

Johnny Ringo:
The bandit? What's he doing here?

Deputy Cully 'Kid' Adonis:
The U.S. Marshal brought him in an hour ago. Told me to clear everyone off the streets. Said I should get him when you got back... expects trouble, I guess.

[Ringo slugs Marshal Kramer]

Deputy Cully 'Kid' Adonis:
He's wearin' a badge!

Johnny Ringo:
So am I! I've been lookin' fr him for ten years and I swore when I found him, I was going to kill him. Now, I'm going to kill him.

Marshal Kramer:
I figured when I go, I'd be lookin' down a gun barrel. I didn't figure the man on the other end of the gun would be wearin' a star, too.

Johnny Ringo:
A star doesn't change anything between us.

Marshal Kramer:
When you've been wearin' it as long as I have, you get to know what it really means. A man's blood, bones, soul all mixed up together called law. Now there ain't no books ought here that say where and how - the only thing that matters is that the law has got to win.

Johnny Ringo:
Are you afraid, Kramer? You weren't afraid when you shot Mitchell in the back.

Marshal Kramer:
I'm too old for bein' afraid. Only a proud man is provoked by false pride. Don't worry me to lose a battle now and then... so long's as I win the war.

Marshal Kramer:
Ringo, you do what I say!

Johnny Ringo:
Would you like me to turn my back?

Marshal Kramer:
When we get to Yuma, we settle; until then, he's my prisoner. I say we move on. Now, what'll it be?

Johnny Ringo:
Kramer, I don't care how you die, just as long I'm there to see it. If you want to kill yourself that's your business

[last lines]

Marshal Kramer:
Like you, I pay what I owe. I told you when we got to Yuma I'd take this star off and we'd settle. There it is.

Johnny Ringo:
No, Kramer, a man like you should never take off this badge. I think I know what you meant about mixing a man's blood, soul and bones together and calling it a piece of tin. You know, it's funny, but somewhere along the line, I seem to have lost my revenge.

Marshal Kramer:
You're a good lawman, Ringo. What's more, you're a man.

Johnny Ringo:
From you, I'll take that.

Rosemary Blake:
Look, Barney, I've had enough. I can't go on like this anymore. I want to start over again - a new town, new faces... a new me.

A woman like you can't change anymore than I could. We're cut from the same deck, you and I.

This Chisom - what does he look like?

Johnny Ringo:
Oh, he's big - over six feet tall - dark hair, wears expensive clothes, easily spotted by one of two things - usually both.

What's that?

Johnny Ringo:
Fast gun and fast women.

Johnny Ringo:
Cully, you got a lot of years ahead of you. You'll get over this.

From now on, I'm not going to believe in anything or anybody!

Case Thomas:
Not even me?

Marilyn Barber:
I was surprised when you wrote and told me you were getting out. I thought they said ten years.

Jack King:
Good behavior - they let me 'cause I was a good little boy. How's your behavior been?

Jack King:
You start packing and then go out and buy a pretty black dress, because by morning you're going to be a widow.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Hand over the gunbelt!

Marilyn Barber:
You better do as he says or he'll kill you.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Stay out of it, Marilyn.

Johnny Ringo:
Freight for me? I don't remember ordering anything.

Sy Bonnell:
Ringo, I want you to arrest these people.

Johnny Ringo:
On what charges?

Sy Bonnell:
Trespassing for one. Endangering the community for another. You can find some more.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Just what did they do?

Sy Bonnell:
Chaco here found them on top of Superstition Mountain over near the Yacqui burial caves.

Johnny Ringo:
What were they doing there?

Sy Bonnell:
Well, they're either fools or they're just plain sick. Said he was going to shoot the moon.

You know, Cully, it's funny us trying to find out about the moon.

Yeah?

Just think - one day, the heavens will be the new frontier without laws and guns and just as people have crossed the prairie in covered wagons, they may cross the great prairie of space to the moon and look beyond. I wonder if then, perhaps, the moon, too, will change for us.

Yeah. Just be sure this candy isn't too rich for you, Cully.

Johnny Ringo:
There's one possibility that the army might not have thought of.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
What's that?

Johnny Ringo:
Comancheros.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Comma-what?

Johnny Ringo:
Comancheros.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Who are they?

Johnny Ringo:
A vicious tribe of half-breeds that are hated by both white man and Indian. They have no particular code they live by. They're completely lawless.

Clint Logan:
[to Dolan] You don't understand women. Instead of a cuff, you give them a kiss. How 'bout it, Nora?

Nora:
You want your throat cut?

[Ringo rescues Cully and the girls from Dolan and Logan in a nick of time]

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Boy, am I glad to see you!

Johnny Ringo:
Why? With all this taffy around?

Nora:
We don't need any help settling this.

Lydia:
Well then, you better change yuor minds about goin' with them!

Nora:
We're not going to change our minds, honey, but we're sure gonna change yours.

Clint Logan:
You got it all figured out, Ringo? You better have. I've seen what the comancheros do to their prisoners.

Johnny Ringo:
Don't worry, Logan. If this doesn't work, you'll be in on the party. They'll know you told us where their camp is.

Johnny Ringo:
Come on, Dolan. It's about time to meet your business associates.

Kurt Dolan:
Look, I didn't do it, Ringo. Logan made me!

Johnny Ringo:
Sure, I know. You thought you were on the way to church.

Johnny Ringo:
You gonna stay in town long, Rhoda?

Rhoda:
For about two weeks. Of course, we're going to have to find a new manager, but I don't think that we're going to have any trouble. After all, we're harmless.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Hey, Johnny! Come on!

[Cully marches off arm-in-arm with Nora, Carol, Lydia and Pam]

Johnny Ringo:
Uh-oh. We'd better go. I know Cully and he's not harmless.

Prosceutor Bogan:
I have no further questions. He's your witness, Mr. Wade.

Defense Attorney Wade:
No question.

Virgil Kincaid:
No questions? Your honor, if he's tryin' to prove me guilty, what did he get appointed to my defense for?

Judge Wilks:
You had every chance to engage your own counsel, Kincaid.

Virgil Kincaid:
And what am I gonna pay him off with?

Judge Wilks:
In that case, you'll have to settle for a public defender.

Virgil Kincaid:
Then I'll get hanged for bein' poor! Now he knows I can't pay him nothin' and that's what he's givin' me back - nothin'!

[a six-year-old boy is testifying at the trial of man who allegedly killed his mother]

Prosceutor Bogan:
I object, your honor! That young boy has been through enough.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
If he's old enough to hang a man, he's old enough to answer one more question in this trial.

Judge Wilks:
Kincaid, I can't say "to be hanged by the neck until dead" but I can say - and mean it - may God have mercy on your soul.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Did you recognize any of them?

Virgil Kincaid:
All I saw were their fists, Ringo.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Why did you come, Doc?

Dr. Homer Bardell:
I do solemnly swear that into whatsoever house you shall enter it will be for the good of the sick to the utmost of your power.

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Kincaid?

Virgil Kincaid:
Yeah?

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
You better keep that gun handy. There may be some people in town that don't live by Doc's code.

[Ringo pulls a bullet from his gunbelt]

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Ever see one of these up close, Henry? Know what makes it work? This is the cap, the percussion cap. When struck by the firing pin, it explodes. The powder burns and forms powerful gases that force the slug out through the gun barrel at a very high velocity. Now if the gun is aimed right, it'll kill what it hits.

Henry Trask:
Now what's all that supposed to mean?

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Kincaid - this town is priming him. He's being pushed and sooner or later he's going to explode.

Henry Trask:
Now why are you telling me this? Where do I fit in?

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
Somewhere between the firing pin and the percussion cap.

[a bounty hunter has brought in the real killer of Lorna Parrott]

Johnny Ringo, Sheriff:
This cartridge held the bullet that put a hole in Virgil Kincaid. Anybody want it for a souvenir?

Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner:
I got the idea from a French gunsmith called LeMat. Think of it, Johnny - a seven-shooter! One extra bullet that'll make all the difference.

Johnny Ringo:
A seven-shooter, huh? How does it work?

Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner:
Well, it looks like a regular six-shooter, but there's a separate barrel for an extra shell. Not just a forty-five shell, mind you, but a .410 shotgun shell.

[first lines]

Harry:
You really serious about going out there, Johnny?

Johnny Ringo:
I don't get job offers every day, Harry - not like this.

Harry:
Is the offer for Johnny Ringo or his gun?

Johnny Ringo:
...I just separate the two.

Pat Merlin:
They tell me at the stable Ringo's here.

Harry:
Might be. You a friend of his?

Pat Merlin:
Sorta. Is he inside?

Johnny Ringo:
I'm Ringo. What can I do for you?

Pat Merlin:
Why, my name is Merlin, Pat Merlin. This is my son, Hank. We came a long way, Mr. Ringo. My boy here is going to kill you.

[to Pat Merlin after he shoots Pat's son in an unnecessary gunfight]

Johnny Ringo:
Why would God give a son to somebody like you?

[Case, the acting sheriff, offers to escort Johnny to the nearest saloon]

Johnny Ringo:
Now wait a minute. You sure you can leave here?

Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner:
Of course I can leave here. You see, I'm only kind of an acting sheriff as you might say. The name's Thomas, Case Thomas

Johnny Ringo:
Glad to meet you. Where's your regular sheriff?

Cason "Case" Thomas, Store Owner:
Oh, about a mile from here... it was a nice funeral.

Johnny Ringo:
[after seeing a seven shooter pistol] Say, that WILL make a difference!

Johnny Ringo:
Go ahead, Chet. Go ahead and draw!

Chet Tomstedter:
Sure. I shoot an unarmed man and you and that fancy shot kid gun me down for murder legal. Is that the best you can do, Ringo?

Johnny Ringo:
My hopes are high you'll give me something better.

[Ringo notices a member of the Russian secret police following Andy into the restaurant]

Andrevich Baranov:
Oh, my friend, please do not worry. He will do nothing. No, no, not here with all these witnesses. No, my countrymen have more finese than that.

Johnny Ringo:
This is liable to be one of the politest murders in history.

Bartender:
Whiskey, gents?

Andrevich Baranov:
No, no, not for me, my friend, no. I will inhale his drink a little.

Bartender:
I've heard of cheap drunks before, Johnny, but ain't he overdoin' it a little?

[Andy plays the violin in front of an open window, defying the assassins to shoot him]

Johnny Ringo:
Andy, should you be doing that?

Andrevich Baranov:
Absolutely not.

Johnny Ringo:
You're a renegade - a real rebel!

Andrevich Baranov:
Of course! That's why we're simpatico. You, too, are a rebel. You fight brutality one way; I fight tyranny another.

Andrevich Baranov:
Napoleon in a snifter.

Bartender:
A what in a what?

Andrevich Baranov:

[Johnny indicates Josh and Lily walking down the boardwalk arm in arm]

Case Thomas:
What sort of horses are you looking for - quarter horses, cattle horses, riding horse...?

Cyrus Hampton:
Riding - suitable for hunting.

Case Thomas:
Hunting? There ain't no hunting around here, except for a few jackrabbits and coyotes. What do you think you're hunting?

Cyrus Hampton:
Tiger.

Case Thomas:
Tiger?

Cyrus Hampton:
Bengal tiger.

Case Thomas:
There ain't no such animal around these parts, mister.

[the roar of a tiger spooks a nearby horse]

Cyrus Hampton:
There is now.

Cyrus Hampton:
Isn't it strange, Bill. It takes a man so long to grow up; so soon to grow old.

Johnny Ringo:
It's beautiful.

Laura Thomas:
The tiger?

Johnny Ringo:
No, the sky. Look at that moon, all those stars - millions of 'em pinned on the sky like diamonds on black velvet...

[Laura snuggles close to Johnny]

Johnny Ringo:
...What a night for hunting jackrabbits!

Laura Thomas:
That's... all? Let's go home.

Johnny Ringo:
What's the matter? It's early yet!

Laura Thomas:
It's later than you think.

Johnny Ringo:
Not today - maybe tomorrow.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Maybe tomorrow, huh? You've been sayin' that for two weeks now... Can't get Laura and Case off your mind, can you?

Johnny Ringo:
You know, Cully, when I first came to Velardi, I had nothing, no one. They filled an emptiness I'd been carrying around in me most of my life.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
You've got a lot of friends, Johnny - the whole town.

Johnny Ringo:
No... a friend is something you wear close to you. To these people I'm just a badge - someone they can tip their hats to and say, "Good morning, Sheriff," but that's all.

[Johnny has been seriously wounded]

Johnny Ringo:
Brogger - got to get Brogger!

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Brogger? Johnny, what's this all about?

Doc Bardell:
Don't talk to him now. I gotta get that lead out of his chest!

[Doc Bardell starts to operate on Johnny]

Johnny Ringo:
Laura! Laura!

Annie Blanchard:
You said the Brogger brothers - are they anything like the Reno brothers?

Johnny Ringo:
The Renos were men. They wouldn't leave a man to bleed to death like the Brogger's left me.

Johnny Ringo:
Kill or be killed, live or die... a man can't lose his own shadow - you can't kill it without killing yourself.

Ed Blanchard:
Where will you go, Mr. Ringo?

Johnny Ringo:
Nowhere and everywhere.

Johnny Ringo:
Hey, that shotgun's pretty heavy for you to be totin' around isn't it?

Old Sam Beckman:
Oh, I'm a rabbit hunter. That's my business - rabbits.

Bartender:
Don't let Old Sam sponge you dry, Mister. That's the only business he's in.

Old Sam Beckman:
Johnny, I got a little shack not far from here. You can stay there with me.

Johnny Ringo:
No. No, Sam, I'm like a disease. You get too close to me and it might prove fatal.

Luke:
Evening, Johnny.

Johnny Ringo:
Hello, Luke.

Luke:
Closin' up shop?

Johnny Ringo:
No, every night seems to be gettin' a little later. Looks like Velardi's growin'.

Luke:
Yeah. Pretty soon the first ones will be gettin' up before the last ones go to bed - then you'll have to work around the clock.

Johnny Ringo:
You men strangers in Velardi?

Matt Sample:
This ain't that big of a town, Sheriff. You ever seen us before?

Johnny Ringo:
Nope.

Matt Sample:
Then it figures we must be strangers, don't it?

Matt Sample:
Name's Matt Sample.

Johnny Ringo:
My name's Johnny Ringo.

Matt Sample:
Ringo? Well, knowin' that's enough to keep a body from doin' somethin' foolish.

Johnny Ringo:
You plannin' on doin' somethin' foolish, Mr. Sample?

Johnny Ringo:
You know, it's funny - he died the same time you arrived.

Matt Sample:
Well, you know what I'd call that, Johnny? I'd call it a coincidence. What would you call it?

Johnny Ringo:
Right now? Oh, somewhere between a coincidence and an incriminating circumstance.

Johnny Ringo:
They'll be a few questions I want to ask you later.

Mary Cannon:
Here's an answer. Charlie Hanford was right - his father was murdered.

Matt Sample:
Why don't you go over to your office and wait till it's all over. It's a nice private fight. Ain't nobody goin' to get hurt unless they're part of it.

Johnny Ringo:
When it happens in Velardi, Sample, I'm part of it.

Matt Sample:
All right, Johnny, your deal... but you ain't goin' to like the cards.

[Mrs. Haig opens the door with a cocked pistol in her hand]

Johnny Ringo:
You must be expecting trouble.

Mrs. Haig:
No, I'm not expecting trouble, Mr. Ringo. It's here already.

Mrs. Haig:
It won't ever be over while there are two men who were enemies in it are alive... not as long as one woman remembers.

Matt Sample:
How come they call you "Blind Louie"? You can see.

Blind Louie:
Not when there's trouble I can't.

Matt Sample:
What does Ringo say about that?

Blind Louie:
Mr. Ringo and me, we ahve an understanding - I don't ask him to tend bar; he don't ask me to be sheriff.

[Ringo enters Louie's nearly empty bar]

Johnny Ringo:
Business looks good, Louie.

Blind Louie:

Hi, Johnny. Have a tough day?

Johnny Ringo:
Yeah, pretty busy. Couple more like it and I'll be ready to retire.

Luke:
Well, like you said, Johnny - got to raise the taxes, give you a few more men.

Johnny Ringo:
Yeah, as long as the job gets done, I'm afraid non one will apy for extra help.

Luke:
But what happens if the job isn't done?

Johnny Ringo:
Then I get fired. Good night, Luke.

Marshal Spence Patterson:
I heard you were wearin' a badge, Ringo. Looks good on you.

Johnny Ringo:
And it feels good, too.

Marshal Spence Patterson:
I know what you mean, but after twenty years, this piece of tin gets mighty heavy.

Johnny Ringo:
You're still man enough to pack the weight.

William 'Cully' Charles Jr., Deputy:
Just driftin' through, Marshal?

Marshal Spence Patterson:
No, as a matter of fact, I'm here on business. Ringo, I've come to arrest you for murder.

Mills Walker:
The name's Mills Walker. Welcome to Hangman's Heaven.

Johnny Ringo:
If this is heaven, they sent me to the wrong place.

Johnny Ringo:
Something go wrong on that bank job?

Gordie Fields:
Yeah. We got caught.

Johnny Ringo:
You probably didn't have it figured out right.

Gordie Fields:
Well, you can't win all the time, I guess.

Johnny Ringo:
When there's a murder involved you can't afford to lose one.

Gordie Fields:
Nothing beats the smell of good, clean air.

Mills Walker:
Yeah, it would be fine if I got the stench of the law out of my nose.

[Marshal Patterson breaks up a brawl in the jail's exercise yard and orders the prisoners returned to their cells]

Marshal Spence Patterson:
Animals like these don't belong in the sun. Take 'em back to their cage!

Mills Walker:
Any of you fellows ever hear of a town called Velardi?

Lon McClinton:
I've never heard of it.

Mills Walker:
That's too bad. I have - it's a good place to stay away from. Right before we joined up together, I rode twenty miles out of my way just to stay clear of the city limits.

Gordie Fields:
What's wrong? The town have the pox or something?

Mills Walker:
Nope. It had a sheriff - still has. His name's Johnny Ringo.

Johnny Ringo:
What did you hit me with?

Marshal Spence Patterson:
A shotgun.

Johnny Ringo:
Oof! From the way my head feels, you must have pulled the trigger.

[Walker's gang has managed to break out of jail]

Gordie Fields:
Them folks in Dixon City are sure going to be disappointed when they find out there ain't goin' to be a hangin'.

Lon McClinton:
Aw, maybe they'll string up the marshal as a substitute.

Mills Walker:
If I was sure of that happening, maybe I'd go back.

Lon McClinton:
[smelling a wad of money] Mmm! Man, that sure smells good!

Mills Walker:
That's 'cause it's green and fresh.

Mills Walker:
What about you, Ringo? You want a share, too?

Johnny Ringo:
You're bein' kinda generous, aren't you?

Mills Walker:
I believe in giving a man what he deserves - in your case, a bullet, Sheriff.

Oh, come on now; come on. How did you know!

Mike Reno:
Velardi, huh? Well, it looks like Texas is going to have to do without us for a while.

Case Thomas:
Johnny, do you recall some brothers by the name of Reno?

Johnny Ringo:
Yeah, notorious bank robbers. They were killed by federal men a couple of years ago. Why do you ask?

Case Thomas:
Well, their ghosts have been haunting my store for the past ten minutes asking about a man I never heard of.

Case Thomas:
What do you make of 'em, Johnny?

Johnny Ringo:
I don't know. Those Reno brothers were a wild bunch.

Case Thomas:
But they're only boys trying their wings.

Johnny Ringo:
Yeah, but those boys are carrying guns under their wings.

Brinker:
So what? By that time we could be well on our way.

Yes, and my face would be well on its way to ill-desired fame.

Johnny Ringo:
Tell me, Mr. Blake, what are you plans now?

Jeff Blake:
I guess I'll be going back to Boston in a couple of weeks. Perhaps I'll even paint again.

A little of both. Excuse me.

Ringo's got him now and you can't get him!

Ben Garrett:
I can reach him. Now for all I hear, Ringo is no fool, but if he won't turn Brad over to me, then one of you is going to die... or maybe two. Now one of you is going to tell this to Ringo - which one, I don't care, it's for you to decide - but if Brad's not back here in one hour - that's eight o'clock - one of you is going to be mighty dead... and if he's not here by nine, then the other one's going to die and I'll go get him myself!

Johnny Ringo:
Now, I wouldn't make things rougher on myself than they already are.

Brad:
Oh, yeah, rough. You find me standin' over Garrett's wife with a gun that's just been fired. I'm drunk and four people saw me have a fight with her earlier that afternoon. That's some birthday present.

Ben Garrett:
Come on in, Mr. Ringo. We're all one big unhappy family here.

Johnny Ringo:
Garrett's crazed with the idea of hanging you for murdering his wife, but he's gotta come out of the house to do it.

Well, I'm going to try to stop him.

Emilia Crale:
It hasn't bought your welcome here.

Who?

Emilia Crale:
The man who calls himself "Jack Raven".

You know him?

Emilia Crale:
He's my son.

Harley Crale:
He's dead, Mom.

Suzanne:
That's right, let her soak you with her tears the way she let Red soak this ground with his blood!

Harley Crale:
I guess you'll be wantin' to take me in, huh, Sheriff?

Johnny Ringo:
Maybe you learned something here today. The price was high, so for your mother's sake make it worth it.

Johnny Ringo:
What are you doin' in town?

Suzanne:
I just sent a wire to some of Red's friends in Yuma asking them to come get me. The word's out now. They're going to be here pretty soon, then they're going to sign your death notice. Oh, I forgot, Mr. Ringo - none of them know how to write so I guess they'll just have to make their "X" on your back!

Johnny Ringo:
Let's put it this way, Harley... I killed your brother because I had no choice... The one who's tryin' to kill me does.

Harley Crale:
You nearly ruined it for me and Red when you took that potshot at Ringo. He's gotta die by accident, don't you see... the way he gunned Red by accident.

Suzanne:
I want him dead, too!

Harley Crale:
Well, you're going to get your wants and you're going get to see it, too, and then you're going to get to tell Red about it...

Suzanne:
Red?

Harley Crale:
...cause you're going to join him.

Chad:
I guess I'm not very bright, but I can't kill. I can't do that for nobody.

Johnny Ringo:
Perhaps there's something you can do if you're willing to try. Maybe we'll forget everything that happened here. Harley's not going to be around for a while, so why don't you see if you can be a son to that woman over there. You see, she never really had one.
