But I might be able to convince them that I'm not Doc Holliday! I can't just sit here and allow them to hang Steven! Keep 'em talkin' Bat.
I'm gonna try and work round behind 'em.
Right.
But what can I do? You can stay out o'sight! Lay 'im out Bat if he tries anythin'.
Oh this is insufferable! Hey, you heard what Wyatt said! Now just shut up and be quiet! Very well, under protest! Time's about up Holliday, you comin' out? You're asking for it Clanton! Oh dear-dear what on Earth is that Mr Werp doing? He's leaving things too late! Never been known to do that Mister.
He's no right to take chances with Steven's life! May those men mean what they say! If they didn't do you think Wyatt'd be risking his neck out there? He's not risking his neck, now I really must go out there.
Yeah, well I know how you feel friend, but if you don' quit hoppin' about like a jackrabbit I'm gonna have to lay you out so cold you'll freeze! Oh, phoo! You're wearing a badge Marshall, iff'n you weren't Yeah 'N if you didn't happen to be caught in the crossfire Billy.

Not without Phin'.
He ain't available right now.

You've got no right Marshall! Attempted hangin'? I'd say I'd every right.
Mr Clanton! Mr Clanton! Stay outta this Charlie! Mr Clanton, that ain't Doc Holliday that's being held in there! It's like the old guy kept tryin' to tell ya! I said stay outta this Charlie! I'm sorry Mr Earp, but I figure it'd save you all a deal a trouble.
What makes you think it ain't him? Well on account of Doc Holliday just bein' in the bar! You're drunk! Boy, that's all we needed Iff'n I'm drunk your friend Seth Harper's still alive Which he ain't.
What's that you say? Holliday shot 'im clean as a whistle.
Fastest thing I ever saw.
Iff'n you're lyin' Charlie so help me God Why should I lie Mr Clanton? I just want to stop you boys gettin' up against the law.
You knew that old guy in there weren't Holliday! This just about does it Earp! Try callin' me Marshall and rememberin' it too! Well Marshall, you got an answer? I don't need to answer to you, I'll answer to the committee if need be.
Now get back to the ranch while you can still ride! I don't take no orders from you! Leave it Billy.
Earp won't be givin' any orders once Pa gets through with him.
He'll lose that star so fast it'll burn a hole in his coat! Come on Billy! We'll be seein' ya, Earp.
My pleasure.
Boy, you maybe don't realise just how close that was? Well, for what we did not receive may the good lord make us truly thankful.
Amen.
And now, shall we take this sinner to the abode of the unrighteous? Amen.
So pick him up gentle And carry him slow, He's gone kind of mental Under Earp's heavy blow.
Well I reckon he'll live but he ain't gonna enjoy it for a while.
Was it necessary for Mr Werp to hit him so hard? Now then Doctor, it wasn't your neck in the noose just now.
I for one am very grateful Mr WerEarp.
Oh, hah, my pleasure boy.
We shan't be here to see the outcome.
Tomorrow we're leaving.
Goodbye Mr Werp.
Oh ah, goodbye Doc.
Can't say I'm sorry.
Get me Johnny Ringo, get 'im quick! But Pa, Ringo rides alone, you know that.
he mightn't wanna join up with us.
What was I paying Harper? A hundred dollars.
Well offer Ringo five hundred.
Oh come on Pa, nobody's worth that! Not worth it? If I had the sons who could do the job without gettin' all fouled up I wouldn't have to pay 'im, but as of now I need a top gun.
Listen Pa, when the citizens hear what we've got on Earp, they The citizens committee, pack of feeble minded old women.
Think they're gonna run him out office and gun on what you tell 'em? Come on! We'll get Holliday, Pa, all we need is time! All you need is guts boy! And all I need is Johnny Ringo, so find out where he's at and get 'im on at up at the ranch! Okay Pa.
Pa.
Yes, Dodo.

Hm-hm! Oh Pardon me, but er, are you alludin' to your friend, ahMiss Dodo Dupont? Of course, of course.
Well I'm sorry folks but, er, she ain't in her room no more.
Why, whatever for? Well, on account she checked out a while back.
Checked out, but She lid out after the killin' with Doc Holliday; was with him when he shot Seth Harper.
Right where you're standin'.
What, she was with Holliday? Surely was.
Him, her'n Kate lid out together, friendly as you please.
Yeah, but Look, surely she left a message or something? Now Mister, iff'n you're involved in a killin' you don't leave no messages, you git.
Well we've gotta find herfast! Well friend, you wanna find her, you find Doc Holliday.
Now don't be ridiculous; Doc Holliday's a great friend of mine.
He gave me a gun, he extracted my tooth.
Good gracious me what more do you want?! Come along boy.
Come along, come along! Tch! Doctor, he's a gunman.
.
! His next extraction's gonna be a bullet.
It's your last chance of boozing Where there's no-one to mind, It's your last chance of losing And the first place you find.
I reckon this'll do us for the night, Kate.
There's a bar right across the street 'n a gamblin' saloon real close Doc, we're ain't enough out of Tombstone.
We could have ridden thirty, forty miles b'morn'.
There ain't no sense in riding too far when we may have to go back again real soon.
Come on Kate.
Ah, but Doc Come on with you! Back to Tombstone! You wanna get yourself killed, is that it? I ain't arguing with ya.
Look all I want is to get myself a drink.
Look, I told Wyatt I'd stay close.
Yeah, and Wyatt just got through drivin' ya out, remember? Hey, he'll be wantin' me back again soon as the real trouble starts.
Real trouble?! Now look Kate, there's only him and Masterson ta handle things if old man Clanton decides to throw anything against 'em and I gotta get back.
I've got to get back too remember! Sure, I promised the little lady that I'd see her back he-home with her friends.
Now Kate, you know that a gentleman has to take account of these things.
Right now I'm going to rustle up some food for us all.
Hah, him and his promises! Nice to find someone who keeps their word.
It's all he ever kept in his life honey.
Lost everythin' else he ever had.
Not again! It's alright ladies, it's alright.
I just ran into an old friend and he kinda lost his appetite.
It's your last chance of earning Your gunfighters fee; The pay is in Dollars, But the bullets are free.
It's your last chance of cussing At a gunfighters doom; It's your last chance of nothin' It's the Last Chance Saloon! Sorry stranger, the bar is closed.
Is that so? You can just open it up again.
Now see here Ringo Johnny Ringo.
Shut up! Gimme a drink.
Yes sir Mr Ringo.
What'll it be sir? Double straight.
Hey, how come you know my name? I guess everybody I mean, I sure enough heard about you.
What have you heard? Well Nothin' sir, nothin' at all.
So what's your name? Charlie sir.
Charlie eh? So you've heard nothing about me? No, no I ain't.
Ain't very flattering is it? I guess notI meanwell what I was meaning was Go on, go on Charlie I heard somethin' about you this evenin' as a matter o' fact.
A couple o' boys was askin' after you.
Who? Two of the Clantons.
Ike andBilly it was.
And what was they askin'? Well they said to try and git word to you as their Pa would pay you five hundred if you'd throw in wi' them agin' Wyatt Earp.
I've got business of my own to settle first.
Personal business with Doc Holliday.
Why now Mr Ringo, excuse me and it ain't strictly none of my business, but I reckon that'll suit them just fine.
Cause they're a-laying for Holliday too! Is that so? Then here's something else you can tell 'em; Holliday is mine! I trailed him clear away from Fort Griffin, understand? Yeah, sure Mr Ringo.
Oh give it here! I'll do the pouring.
You sure got the shakes real bad.
It's on the house sir.
I never figured different.
I can't wait to see Wyatt Earp's face when he hears you're going against him.
Plannin' on tellin' him? Why no Mr Ringo.
I was only sayin' Charlie, Charlie You say too much ! I won't say nothin' to nobody! Now ain't that just the truth.
Hey Charlie? Goodnight Charlie.
So it's curtains for Charlie, That barman of fame.
He met Johnny Ringo And he knew Johnny's name; He knew Johnny's name And he spoke it out loud.
Now Charlie the barman Has gotten a shroud.
You ready to leave? I'm ready to jump like a mountain hare, you come bursting in here like that Missy.
You did say that you were taking me back to my friends today.
Yeah, today Or the day after You promised! I promised to take you back safe home and I will do so in my own good time! We're leaving now.
What're you attempting to do with that there offensive weapon? Shoot you if I have to.
Now how'd you reckon to get back to Tombstone without me? I shall try not to kill you.
I shall aim for your arm.
That's real thoughtful just at the moment you're aiming right between my eyes.
Oh I'm sorry Is that better? It's an improvement.
Right, now take me back to Tombstone.
Ah, seems like I ain't got no alternative.
No Doctor Holliday, I don't believe you have.
Then I promise on my oath as a gentleman of Georgia that I will take you back to Tombstone by nightfall.
Oh thank goodness for that.
Would you mind getting me a glass of water? I feel rather faint.
Now what in Hades goes on here? Ah, the young lady and I have to go right back to Tombstone right away.
Oh, and what about me? You stay right here and I'll come right back and get you.
Now see here Doc Holliday you ain't plannin' on runnin' out.
.
! Now Kate, for the first time in my life I have just been taken, beaten to the draw.
Oh I honestly didn't want to have to shoot you.
And I didn't want to have to shoot you neither.
He knew Johnny's name And he spoke it out loud.
Now Charlie the barman Has gotten a shroud.
Well as soon as we've had breakfast my boy, I must check up with Mr Werp and ask him if he knows where they've all gone.
Right.
Doctor, look! High livin' and hard liquor.
It don't pay.
Yeah, but he's been shot! Is that so? Here's something towards your funeral, friend.
excuse me sir, but I think under the circumstances you'd better remain here until Mr Werp arrives.
Are you aimin' ah, to make me? Ah, no, no.
The only man in the territory low enough to kill an unarmed barman is Doc Holliday.
Hey wait a minute y You know Holliday? And what's that to you? Well we must find him.
Why is that? You see, a young lady of our acquaintance is with him.
And what are you going to do when you find 'im? Iw-well we'll take her away from 'im and bring her back here of course.
Plannin' on gunnin' him down, eh? Ooh certainly not sir, certainly not! I mean we're just going to.
.
well Reason with him.
Now that I'd really like to see! Do you know who that is? Who? That's Johnny Ringo! What that? Yes! Say, boy.
Yeah? See'n as you'n me's got common cause gettin' Doc Holliday, supposin' I was to let you ride with me? Well, you know where he is? Reckon I do.
Well, we'd bemighty grateful.
I'm sure you wouldPop! There's just one thing.
If you get between me and him boy, don't go looking for me to hold my fire.
I'd blast you down as soon as spit at ya! Thanks.
Disgusting habit! So brother Morgan can't make it? T'ain't for me to tell ya; got himself mixed up in a range war, Albany way.
Any word from Virgil? No.
Could be anywhere between here and Montana.
One way and another seems lucky you've got me around, and Morgan's been teachin' me how ta handle a gun Oh Not at your age my lad, and not against these dirty Clantons.
How long're you all figurin' on k-k.
.
keepin' me here? Just as long as it takes 'til the Judge hits town.
Well when the Judge hears about you protectin' Doc Holliday just you see what happens! Did I did I hear the name Doc Holliday mentioned? Ya sure did! Yes, well I've got news of him.
Well I thought you'd left town.
Oh, Dodo you see I mean, Miss Dupont has gone off with him.
And young Steven is following up and I've got to wait.

Ringo?! Ringo! Yes-yes you've got a photograph of him here, look.
That's all we needed! Boy the hosts of Midian are sure on the prowl tonight! Why, is he a friend of the Clanton's? Ringo is a friend of nobody.
