High Noon1952

Herb:
Time's gettin' pretty short.

Kane:
It sure is.

Herb:
When are the other boys gonna get here? We gotta make plans.

Kane:
The other boys? There aren't any other boys, Herb. It's just you and me.

Herb:
[nervously smiles and chuckles] You're jokin'.

Kane:
No, I couldn't get anybody.

Herb:
I don't believe it. This town ain't that low.

Kane:
I couldn't get anybody.

Herb:
Then it's just you and me.

Kane:
I guess so.

Herb:
You and me against Miller and all the rest of them?

Kane:
That's right. Do you want out, Herb?

Herb:
Well, it isn't that I want out, no. You see. Look, I'll tell ya the truth. I didn't figure on anything like this, Will.

Kane:
Neither did I.

Herb:
I volunteered. You know I did. You didn't have to come to me. I was ready. Sure, I'm ready now - but this is different, Will. This ain't like what you said it was gonna be. This is just plain committing suicide and for what? Why me? I'm no lawman. I just live here. I got nothin' personal against nobody. I got no stake in this.

Kane:
I guess not.

Herb:
There's a limit how much you can ask a man. I got a wife and kids. What about my kids?

Kane:
Go on home to your kids, Herb.
