Spoons:
: Hey there, fruit-cup. You're a long ways from home, ain't ya? Who exactly are you?

[Rango notices his reflection distorted in the bar's dirty mirror, and the words "Hecho en Durango" stamped on a bottle of cactus juice he is holding.]

Rango:
[internal monologue] Who am I? I could be anyone.'’ [his thumb covers the words, only showing "Rango".]

Spoons:
What's the matter, you missing your mama's mangoes?

Rango:
[enboldened.] As a matter of fact, I am. [slams bottle down, and whirls on Spoons] But not as much as your DADDY'S COOKING!

[Bar patrons gasp.]

Spoons:
[thrown-off by Rango's statement] Exactly where did you say you were from?

Rango:
Me...? I-I'm from the West! Out there, beyond the horizon, past the sunset. The Far West. [begins strutting around the bar.] Yeah, that's right, hombres. The place I come from, we kill a man before breakfast just to work up an appetite. [snags a patron's toothpick with his tongue.] Then we salt 'im, then we pepper 'im, then we braise 'im in clarified butter... [takes a gopher's stetson] And then... we eat him.

Gopher:
Ya eat 'im?

Rango:
THAT'S WHAT I SAID! I've seen things'll make a grown man lose control of his glandular functions! You spend 3 days in a horse carcass living off your own juices - it'll change a man. Oh yeah. [acccidentally sends a shuffled deck of cards flying] Got a few extra aces in this deck, gents - just the way I like it. So no, my hairsome little rodent friend, I am not from around these parts. You might say I'm from everywhere there's trouble brewin' and Hell waitin' to be raised. You could say I'm what Hell's already raised up. Name's... RANGO.

Elbows:
Hey, are you that guy who killed them Jenkins brothers?

Rango:
Uh-huh, killed them with 1 bullet. Don't get no deader.

Elgin:
All 7 of them...?

Rango:
[nervously] That's right, all 7 of them.

Waffles:
Exactly, how did you that, Mr. Rango?

Rango:
You know, I'm glad you asked me that. And I'll be happy to tell you how, but your all gonna have to listen up! Because this is where it gets... complicated.

[Rango notices a hole popping out the road, Ezekiel and Jedidiah pop out]

Jedidiah:
This ain't the bank!

Ezekiel:
I told you, Jedidiah!

Rango:
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!!

Ezekiel:
It's the sheriff!

Rango:
Get your hands up where I can see'em! [Ezekiel and Jedidiah do so] Just as I though,[puts his gun away] prospecting without the authorized equipment. Don't move a muscle. [walks away]

Jedidiah:
Prospecting? [Ezekiel shrugs]

Rango:
[comes back with equipment] Now,got your shovel, pickax, Benedryl, loofah, assorted snacks, some puzzle books, and you're gonna need a permit.

Balthazar:
[shouts out from the hole] EZEKIEL! JEDIDIAH! WHAT THE SAM HILL IS GOING ON UP THERE?! [comes out of the hole while whacking Ezekiel and Jedidiah on the head] I'VE HAD POLYPS REMOVED SMARTER THAN THE TWO OF YOU!!! [sniffs the air] Hell's fire! This ain't the bank!

Ezekiel:
Hey, Pappy. The sheriff's standing right here, helping us out.

Jedidiah:
Gonna give us a permit for "prospecting".

Rango:
Yep, just doing my duty. The lonely constable on his rounds keeping an eagle eye out for mayhem and malfeasance.

Balthazar:
Does he look like what he sounds?

Jedidiah:
Uh, huh.

Balthazar:
Well, sheriff, if we was to hit the mother load, being prospectors and such, where exactly do we deposit said annuity?

Rango:
Well, here in the town of Dirt, we happen to have the finest financial institution in this side of Missouri. [points to the Bank of Dirt] Protected morning, noon and night by yours truly. [gives Balthazar the permit]

Balthazar:
Much obliged.

Rattlesnake Jake:
[to Rango] Hello, "brother". Thirsty? [fills glass with venom and throws it to the ground] Long time, "brother". How you been keepin'?

Rango:
Oh, well, you know– [Jake quiets him with a loud hiss]

Jake:
I hear you been tellin' about how you killed all them Jenkins brothers. With one bullet, weren't it? [chuckles] Ain't that right? All these good folks here believe your little stories, don't they? Why, they believe you're just a stone killer, don't they? Seems these folks trust you. They think you're gonna save their little town. They think you're gonna save their little souls! But we know better, don't we? [turns to Beans and licks her cheek before turning back to Rango] So why don't you show your friends what you're made of? Show 'em who you really are? [pulls out gun] Why don't you just pull your gun and shoot me? [empties out most of the bullets] But of course, you won't need all of these. Just one, right? [gives Rango the gun and points it in his face] Go head, hero. Pull the trigger. [Rango doesn't shoot] You got killer in your eyes, son? ... I don't see it. [Rango lowers his gun] You didn't do any of them things you said, did you? You didn't kill them Jenkins Brothers. You ain't even from the West, are you?! [Rango doesn't speak] Say it!

Rango:
[whispers] No.

Jake:
Oh, speak up! I don't think your friends here heard you.

Rango:
No.

Jake:
All you've done is lie to these good people. You ain't nothing but a fake and a coward. Ain't that right?

Rango:
[softly] Yes.

Jake:
LOUDER!

Rango:
[clearly] Yes.

[The townsfolk, alongside Beans, stare at Rango in disbelief.]

Jake:
[slithers around Rango] Listen close, you pathetic fraud. This is my town now. If I ever see you again, I will take your soul straight down to HELL! [grabs Rango and drops him to his knees]

[Rango stands up and looks at the angry citizens who feel lied to. He then begins to leave.]

Beans [to Rango, puzzled.] Who are you?

[Rango silently walks away. The Mariachi Owls watch Rango walking sadly]
