\xa0
No gunshots herald his approach.\xa0
No trademark left behind him when he leaves.\xa0
The Kid had his fill of notoriety in days gone by -
as plenty of empty boots can surely testify.\xa0\xa0
Some say he rides alone.\xa0
That's the Deadeye Kid.

MUSIC
1_ARRIVAL
SOUND \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0HORSES, RIVER, BOAT TRAFFIC
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Largest town I been near in a good passel of time.\xa0 I hear tell it started out as a frontier fort, but the frontier moseyed west and left it a-setting behind.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Will it be safe?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Safe?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I had rather assumed you were avoiding larger towns.\xa0 For ... notoriety's sake.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Meaning I don't want be invited to a necktie party?\xa0 'at's part of it, though I'm purty sure I ain't never been posted in this territory.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Is it worth the risk?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shrug noise]\xa0 Time to time a man wants a bath and a night in a bed.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 There are some distinct benefits to being deceased.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [laughs]\xa0 Ayup.\xa0 I don't gotta listen to you bellyaching about aches and pains and sleeping on the ground no more.\xa0 Never mind being all prissy and citified about finding you a comf'table bush now and then--
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [rolling eyes]\xa0 Yes, yes.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Sides, I'm outta coffee.\xa0 And low on shells.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [teasing] Heavens.\xa0 How DO you manage?

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lem!\xa0 Soldiers.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [voice low]\xa0 Right.\xa0 We'll go on over yonder.\xa0 [beat] Must still be a fort within spitting distance.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I did notice that the old fortification appears to have become the mansion for an authority of some kind.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Probly best to get my business done and skeddaddle.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SALOON DOOR OPENS, JUST OFF, PEOPLE COME OUT
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I say.\xa0 Isn't it a bit early for a drink?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shrug] Three weeks.\xa0 Don't seem early to me.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'll--
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [off a bit] Clary?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [stunned and horrified] Oh god.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [off a bit] Clary?\xa0 I'd know that voice anywhere!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Friend o'yourn?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [stiff, covering]\xa0 Old acquaintance.\xa0 Go on ahead!

LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [SPIT-TAKE]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GLASS SLAMMED DOWN
BARTENDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Something wrong, fella?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [coughing, trying to clear his throat]\xa0 Toothache.\xa0 Hit like a snakebite.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You look at me, you pissant slab of gun leather.
BARTENDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sympathetic] Tarnation.\xa0 You need it yonked?\xa0 Barber can\u2011\u2011

4_LISETTE
AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 OUTSIDE
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [close, laughing] Oh, good lord, look at you!\xa0 Mustache and all.\xa0 Aren't you a little brigadier?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [acknowledging] Carmichael.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh, how formal.\xa0 Just like at school.\xa0 What have you been up to Clary, dear?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 "Fanshaw," if you please.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 And we used to be such chums.\xa0 However did you end up here?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm quite sorry to see that you are dead, Carmichael.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [laughing] Oh, I rather doubt that!\xa0 You're only very sad to see that I'm here, aren't you?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Would you prefer that I said I am pleased to find that you died, since that would be the only circumstance that could ever have stopped you from tormenting every living soul around you?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [not amused any more]\xa0 At least that would be closer to the truth.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Jolly good.\xa0 Happy you're dead.\xa0 Must get along.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Don't run off so quickly, Clary!\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [long breath of self-control]\xa0
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 There's been no one interesting to talk to or listen in on for simply ages.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 How unfortunate.\xa0 Must rush.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I noticed you speaking to that fellow.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [quiet] Bloody hell.\xa0 [up]\xa0 I speak to a lot of people.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm sure.\xa0 But he replied.\xa0 Might I speak with him as well?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I--
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh, just watch your face!\xa0 You're trying desperately to come up with a lie!\xa0 You never could hide anything from me, mustache or no mustache, silly Clary--
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Stop calling me that.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh, how I've missed these little moments with my dearest friends - ever since I made the leap.\xa0 I shall have to spend a great deal of time with you - and with your rugged looking friend.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gritted teeth] Jolly good.

AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 SALOON
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEM DRINKS, SLAMS DOWN GLASS
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I know you kin hear me, you toad-bellied worm.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CHAIR SHIFTS, KICKED OUT FROM TABLE
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [low] Sit.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 What makes you think I'd sit with you?\xa0 You done went and killed me!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 That's one reason I'm plumb surprised to see you.\xa0 You went down all the way to Fayetteville - damn far north o' here.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I ... drifted.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 That's just what's got me hornswoggled.\xa0 Ain't no one drifts.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well I did, and I's planning to get you back for what you done, one way or t'other.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh]
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 DRINK POURS
6_PIGS
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 PIGS
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why'd you drag me out to the slaughterhouse?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 That woman - ghost woman.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 An old flame?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nonsense!\xa0 We knew each other as ... children.\xa0 She is-- [changing the subject] She is unlikely to follow us here.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Spect not.\xa0 Womenfolks ain't fond of this sort of messy business.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [disgusted] Yes...
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 So?\xa0 You'd best'a brought me here fer a reason.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lisette Carmichael.\xa0 She [hard to say] is a person who likes to know things.\xa0 About other people.\xa0 She likes to --
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hold a grudge?\xa0 Like a noose over yer head?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Aptly put. \xa0Yes.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You cain't have much in the way of dark secrets, though, can you?\xa0 Leastways not no more.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 You might be surprised.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Who's she a-gonna tell?\xa0 [realizes] Oh.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 And while I'm fairly certain you think you could overlook any past indiscretion on my\xa0 part, I don't doubt there are a few things that might shock even you.\xa0 Lord knows, she's not even above the occasional fabrication.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [after a moment]\xa0 Did it involve a sheep?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 What?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Whatever it was you done.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 No.\xa0 It isn't - it's not like that at all.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shrug] Sounds like we should jest ride on out.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 What?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Got my coffee, ain't no reason to lollygag.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 You would leave?\xa0 Over this?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I figger you saved m'life more'n once, and ain't much I can do in return.\xa0
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 WALKING IN MUD
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Let's get gone before you start a-thanking me.
7_BARN
AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 BARN
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 TACK, HORSES, ETC.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You distract her, I'll get the gear.\xa0 Come and find me when you feel the pull.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Righty-ho.\xa0
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEAVES
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Running away, eh?\xa0 Allus knew you'ure yella.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh]\xa0 You're lucky ain't no one about but us.\xa0 Otherwise, I wouldn\u2019t dignify none of that with an answer.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You kilt me!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 We had it out, fair and square.\xa0 I never shot no one in-- [breaks off, a bit choked up]\xa0 I never din't kill any one not a-gunning fer me.\xa0 Not on purpose.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LAST BIT OF TACKING UP
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are you saying I was asking fer it?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I seem to recall you a-calling me out in the middle of a fairish game of cards.\xa0 Yellin blue bloody murder that I should step out and face you.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well, yeah, but I was drunk.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I din't do THAT to you neither.\xa0 You called me out, without no good reason agin me.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [losing some of his bluster] I fancied making a name for myself.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEM GETS INTO THE SADDLE
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 By shooting the Kid?\xa0 You ain't the first.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 But you still kilt me.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 And I won't never forget none of it, but you got what you asked for, and not a jot more.\xa0 Blame providence if you cain't blame yerself, but don't put this guilt on me.\xa0 Hee-yaw!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 RIDES OFF
8_DISTRACTION
FANSHAW \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Lisette?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 There you are!\xa0 Just like a naughty boy, running off to filthy places to get away.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 So sorry.\xa0 Didn't have much choice.\xa0 My friend is quite fascinated by... hogs.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Did you make a clean breast of it?\xa0 Or just warn him not to believe a thing I say?\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 You don't understand what you're threatening to do - you never did.\xa0
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 So bothered over trifles!\xa0 How much people change!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ruining someone's life never meant anything to you!\xa0 Do you recall poor Selfridge?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Carmela?\xa0 Served her right.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 She threw herself off a bridge!
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 She also let herself be compromised!\xa0 I didn't put her in the family way, and she was the one lying and hiding--
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are you trying to imply that you are somehow in the right?\xa0 A champion of truth?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shall I point out what it is you are doing that flies in the face of nature?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 History is replete with--
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh, spare me.\xa0 Next you'll be quoting Shakespeare.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Very well.\xa0 I shan't try and justify myself, but I will point out that whatever I am doing, it cannot be changed.\xa0 Being dead, there's not much one can do about such trifles.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Then why should it be such a catastrophe were I to tell?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [beat] You've never had a real friend, only people who fawned on you in order that you would not reveal their shortcomings.\xa0
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [outraged] I--?\xa0 You--!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Kindly allow me to finish.\xa0 There is a certain camaraderie among men that simply does not - cannot - occur once a woman is involved.\xa0 Once you put your nose in, I fear it would never be quite the same.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 No doubt.\xa0 I'll just go and find your friend now, shall I?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [strange gasp, ending on a laugh]\xa0 No, but I think I shall.

EPISODE 2
1_MOSEYING
AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 OPEN COUNTRYSIDE, nighttime
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 HORSES WALKING
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I still cain't reckon how he got so far from where he-- I-- where we had it out.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 How odd.\xa0 Have you ever encountered other ghosts who could travel?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Present comp'ny only.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 And we know the how and why of that.\xa0 Perhaps this fellow has a similar... arrangement?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 How?\xa0 And who with?\xa0 Ain't no one would carry that ugly cuss a dog's walk, let alone some hundred miles.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well, every one of we "spirits" seems to be a bit different.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Like your lady friend back there?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh] From her current appearance and [disapproving] "costume", she had fallen on \u2011ahem- hard times indeed.\xa0 Possibly drifted west - whilst alive - in hopes of making something better for herself.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lot of people can say that, out this way.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [a bit snotty] Frankly I'm not surprised at her misfortune.\xa0 When you alienate all those around you, no one will step in to help if things take a turn for the worse.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Cain't say I ain't never been that fella.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [chagrined] Oh.\xa0
MUSIC \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0FOR FLASHBACK
NOTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lem is younger, more cocky, more superior in the falshback - need to really show who he used to be
2_THE OLD KID
AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 SALOON
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Gimme two.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CARDS
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [pleased noise]\xa0 I'll see you and raise--
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CROWD HUSHES
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [snarling declaration] I hear tell the Deadeye Kid's here in town?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [ignoring him, smug] Raise ten.
DEALER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shaky] Uh, Kid?
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Which one o' y'all's sposed to be this weasel?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Your call.
PLAYER1\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shaky] Um...\xa0 I fold.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [chuckles]
PATRON1\xa0\xa0\xa0 How can he--?
Patron2\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shh!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 HEAVY SPURRED BOOTS CROSS FLOOR, PEOPLE SCUTTLE OUT OF WAY
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [heavy menace]\xa0 You the deadeye kid?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [offhanded] I'm the man playing a nice civil hand of cards.\xa0 Mebbe you can hold your hosses there, whistle stomper.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Either you come out and face me now, or I swear'n I'm gonna shoot you where you sit.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CHAIRS SCOOTING OUT, PEOPLE LEAVING TABLE
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [long dramatic sigh]\xa0 Now that sounds a mite like a threat.
PLAYER1\xa0\xa0\xa0 [muttered] Uh, yeah.\xa0 I'm done.\xa0 Fergot my wife wants me home.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are you coming, or am I shooting?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 If everyone's takin' leg, I guess I win by forfeit?
DEALER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Um, I don't think anyone's gonna argue you on that.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You turn around now and face me, you yellow bellied dog!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 MONEY BEING SHOVED TOGETHER
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Give the frog a chance to jump, knuckles.\xa0 Cain't just leave all this layin around.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 G's GUN DRAWN AND COCKED
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Now!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [to dealer, cocky] You'll look after this til I get back?
DEALER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Uh... certainly.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'll do it!\xa0 I will!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CHAIR SLOWLY MOVES, LEM'S SPUR-STEPS, STANDS
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Rightchere in front of all these good folks?\xa0 And leave the dealer to clean up the mess?\xa0 [tsks]\xa0 Let's at least be civilized and take this on outside.
3_EASIER
MUSIC\xa0\xa0\xa0 BACK TO NOW
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 HORSES WALKING
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Seems as if it would be a great deal easier.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Whazzat?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shooting someone in the back.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 And killin a chicken's easier than takin down a buffalo, but ain't a thing to swell over.\xa0 Ain't no pride in the easy way.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Backshooting would gain you notoriety just as quickly.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 It's all about how folks look at you... and how they see you.
MUSIC\xa0\xa0\xa0 BACK TO FLASHBACK
4_WARMUP
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are you stepping?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 What flavor of tarantula juice got you fit to wake snakes?\xa0 Milk?\xa0 [insulting that he can't hold his liquor]
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [furious noise]\xa0 I got a pill to run you on, and I'm gonna chew back every moment of it.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [to the crowd] Righchere's a rumbustious fellow for you.\xa0
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 DRINKS DOWN HIS LIQUOR, SLAMS IT DOWN
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Barkeep?\xa0 Have me a shot of top mark waitin.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 WALKS OUT, SLOWLY
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You look at me while I'm a talking to you!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [walking out] You say somethin' more wheat than chaff, mebbe I will.
5_RATTLING
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Were you trying to upset his equilibrium?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 What's that when it's at home?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 uh - Throw him off - make him upset and more likely to make mistakes.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Rattlin.\xa0 Yup.\xa0 There's as much head as hand in a proper showdown.\xa0 Not that this was one o' them.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why not?\xa0 He called you out.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 He was halfway round on rotgut.\xa0 Not a nugget's chance agin me.\xa0 Even if he had all his [careful] equilibriums about him.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 But you stepped out with him?\xa0 Even knowing he had no chance?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 A'course.\xa0 He wouldn't take no.\xa0 Drunk fellers who ain't gettin their way are as likely to shoot just about anyone.\xa0 I reckoned I was a-helpin, putting him down.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [a bit touchy] And you couldn't simply injure him or knock him out - he had to die?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ain't no place for fine feelins when there's a man with a gun a-facin you.\xa0 And ain't no time to aim all purty and shoot him just so.\xa0 You hit hard and put him down, cause if you don't, he'll do it to you.\xa0 That's the part you cain't get away from - one or t'other's likely for boot hill, and you GOTTA face it that way.
6_SHOWDOWN
MUSIC\xa0\xa0\xa0 BACK TO FLASHBACK
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 OUTSIDE NOW
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You ready?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why trouble yerself to call me out anyhow?\xa0 I kill someone yer riled over?
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [duh] Yer the Deadeye Kid!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [duh] Yep.\xa0 [beat] That's your sole entire reason?\xa0 You wanna walk in my boots?
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 No faster way to make a name, than laying out a name.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 THEY MOVE TO EITHER SIDE OF THE SOUNDSCAPE
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GUN BEING CHECKED, LEM
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 And o'course it gots to be a callout.\xa0 [digsut, sarcasm] No one wants to be the next Robert Ford.\xa0 [man who backshot his friend Jesse James]
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Come on!\xa0 Kick it up, Deadeye!\xa0 Less'n yer yellow!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEM - DIRT PATTERS - checking the wind]

SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 TENSION NOISE, CROWD NOISE, THEN SUDDEN FLURRY OF GUNFIGHT.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 G - BODY DROP
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEM - GUN INTO HOLSTER.\xa0 A MOMENT.\xa0 FEET WALK BACK UP INTO SALOON
7_ENJOY
MUSIC\xa0\xa0\xa0 BACK TO NOW
FANSHAW \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0[relenting a bit] I suppose it's very like being in battle - not a good place to have consideration for the other fellow.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Have to ice over that pond.\xa0 Hard and cold.\xa0 Hard and cold.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I- I do apologize for sounding disapproving.\xa0 I want to assure you, it's the process that... well... seems so very pointless.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [a litle lighter] Men'll be men.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 But men can behave in a civilized manner!\xa0 Look at we Brits.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [grunt - half laugh half dismissive]
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Do you enjoy it?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [very mixed feelings] Enjoy?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Throughout history there have been men who reveled in killing, in battle.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hmmm.\xa0 [musing] There's a fire that burns you at that moment, like bugs in the skin.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 S'like the best whiskey and the moment you almost fall off a cliff, and being with the love of your life, all at the same damn time.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 The thrill of danger?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 That, but even more so.\xa0 If'n you just want danger, you go climbin cliffs or breakin broncs.\xa0 This is starin into the eyes of death - death right there and then and ain't no "maybe so" about it.\xa0 Kill or be killed.\xa0 [beat, then not quite truthful]\xa0 Enjoy?\xa0 No.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Sometimes a person's strength is in making the right choice, even when it might pain them to do so.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I reckon.

LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Someone's gotta warn the town.\xa0 Whether it's injuns or sumpin else, looks like an ambush on the march.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [weakly] Surely the garrison maintains lookouts?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Not so much that I saw.\xa0 They're purt near closed up shop, from the looks back there.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [heavy sigh]\xa0 Right, then.\xa0

COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 You've done enough already, stranger.\xa0 Ain't even your fight.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I know where they're at, and I got some idea of where they're likely to be by the time I get back there.\xa0 Give me one horse ain't like to spook, and I'll--

2_LISETTE
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 [above scene plays out in the background]
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 And here I thought you had run away and left me all alone.\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh] Why don't we step outside to have this conversation?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 No.\xa0 I like seeing what the "menfolk" are up to.\xa0 [frustrated noise] What I wouldn\u2019t give to be able to leave this rattletrap town.\xa0 I'm still not sure how you did that.\xa0 Or why you came back.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 We had to warn the garrison.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Always full of suprises, aren't you - and yet still sanctimonious.\xa0 Fanshaw, dear old chum.\xa0 Are you not afraid of what I might say?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Any concern you might cause me is negligible when weighed against the potential danger to others.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [surprised laugh]\xa0 Hah!\xa0 All you superior little snobs, with your noses in the air!\xa0 And deep down, all just as afraid as the rest of us.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I've no idea what you're talking about, and I don't care to find out.\xa0 Whatever you plan to do, just get on with it.\xa0 We have a job to do.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Wait!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [long sigh]\xa0 Yes?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shall I wish you "good luck"?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I doubt I shall need any.\xa0 But I thank you for the sentiment, Miss Carmichael, however grudgingly bestowed.

LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm stuck with him.\xa0 And I never kept notches.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 That ain't what I heered.

GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 And the tale 'bout how you kilt me?

GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 So, you think I like being plumb forgot?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 If I thought tellin about it would ease you on to the next thing, you think I wouldn't?

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I can make out English and Spanish.\xa0 Are we anywhere near the Mexico territories?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [quiet] Ain't impossible.\xa0 Deserters, mebbe.

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Carmichael.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [trying to start a fight] We've been reconsidering your costume.\xa0 Those leggings are positively scandalous.
FANSHAW \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0[bland] Romeo can hardly appear in bloomers.\xa0 Would be rather difficult to climb to the balcony.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 Perhaps plain trousers, then.\xa0 [sly] Though I understand you were quite keen on showing off your legs.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [rueful] There is a great deal to be said for the freedom of movement.\xa0 [dismissive] But a costume is a costume.\xa0 I certainly shan't make a fuss.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [annoyed at not being able to get a rise out of F] Very well.

GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Apart from you in a pine box?\xa0 I'm hankerin to be alive agin, but that ain't gon happen.

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I was considering what I might do with my hair.\xa0 To create the right ilusion.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 That is what the HAT is for.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I prefer not.\xa0 It looks like an ottoman on my head.\xa0
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 And Romeo does not wear a moustache.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Whyever not?
LISETTE \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0On the stage, moustaches are only for villains and army colonels!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [considering] I might just cut my hair.
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 That is the final straw!\xa0 Miss Peabody said this would happen.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 What?
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 That you would take too many liberties.\xa0 You are out.

SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 But don\u2019t no one ever pass along?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Most do.\xa0 And I'm even aware of those who spend some time like this, and then pass on, though there's no easy answer for how or why it happens.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 And I won\u2019t never even get to be with a woman.

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I was in love.\xa0 When I was very young.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Was she really purtty?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh] I thought the sun rose and set with my beloved's face.\xa0 Have you ever seen hair so fine and blonde that your fingers desperately wanted to touch it?
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 You talk so flowery, I bet all the girls jest love you!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Our parents objected.\xa0 They said we were too young, and I was packed off to school.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 What didja do?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I waited.\xa0 I nursed my deep love, and remained constant, like patience on a rock.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 You waited on a rock?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I waited at school.\xa0 I was determined that one day, when we were old enough that no one could object, I would return and we would be joined forever.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 What happened?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I made my way to the object of my affection and...discovered...
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yes?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 That I was the only one who had bothered to wait.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 She'd gone and --
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 My "dearest love" had married another.\xa0 Had, and I quote "almost forgotten about that summer."
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Damn!\xa0 Women are right terrible.

PIEDMONT\xa0\xa0\xa0 We were on opposite sides in a fight.
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You mean the war?\xa0 Hmph.\xa0 My pa says why keep slaves when you can hire men for even cheaper and don't have to sell them if'n they don't do the job right.
PIEDMONT\xa0\xa0\xa0 [incensed] You think your pa knows so much about everything, don't you?

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I don't know that I have an answer for you.\xa0 I've only been - like this - for a... a couple of years, myself, and haven't seen a fraction of what Lem has.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Years?\xa0 You been dead for years and ain't moved on?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 We... help people.\xa0 And I get to see the world - [half pleased, half rueful] hmph... in perfect safety.\xa0
11_SHOT
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 LEM RUNNING AGAIN
PIEDMONT\xa0\xa0\xa0 [panicky, but trying to be placating] I am going to have to ask you to take a step back, sir!\xa0 My hand could slip a fraction of an inch, and that's all it would take.\xa0\xa0
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [gasp]\xa0 Pa?
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 GUNSHOT
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 TWO BODY DROPS
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [cold] You understand we cain't leave that kind of critter running loose, don't you?
12_BUSINESS
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Some folks stay because they have unfinished business, and once the business is completed, they are able pass on.\xa0
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Business?\xa0 I ain't never been in business.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 No, no.\xa0 For instance, one young man was able to move along once his murderer was uncovered and hung.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh.\xa0 I spose that could happen.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Or perhaps when the horses have been recovered, since that was your task at the time of your death.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [very down] Oh, right.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [cheering]\xa0 Or, when the town has been warned.\xa0 That could very well have been at the forefront of your thoughts.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [wailing] Oh no!\xa0
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Whatever is the matter?
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 What if it's ladies?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [careful] What if what is "ladies"?
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 What if I can't never pass on til I been with a lady?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [cold, practical] That would be most extremely awkward.\xa0 Worry about that once we find out if you can get back to town or not.
13_WHUPPING
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sniffles a bit]
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 You crying, boy?
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [stifling it] No sir.
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Good.\xa0 Now run and let Mrs. Roberts have a look at that scratch.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 A COUPLE OF STEPS, THEN TURN
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [blank] You shot him dead.
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yup.
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 In the dark, and on the draw, and din't even hit me.
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yup.\xa0 [beat]\xa0 You asking something?
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 What if he'd'a kilt me?\xa0 Or what if you did?
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [long pause]\xa0 Life's hard, boy.\xa0 You cain't let folks get away with wrongdoing, no matter who they got a grip on.
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 BARN DOOR SWINGS OPEN, COUPLE OF STEPS
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lem?\xa0
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [almost a gasp] Yessir?
ROBERTS\xa0\xa0\xa0 [casual] Don't think I'm not gon' whale you for being in the barn by night, neither. [neeether]
YOUNG LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [quiet, resentful] Yes, sir.
14_CRICKET
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 It ain't fair!\xa0 I'm being punished and I ain't never even done nothing!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Life is not fair.\xa0 Death even less so.\xa0
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 I--
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [cutting him off] Still, I expect there must be some sort of answer.\xa0
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Answer?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Very likely, when they take your body back to town, you will accompany it, and there will find what you need to do to pass on.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 What if they don't take it - me back?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Lem will see that they do.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh.\xa0 And what about you, Mister Fanshaw?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 What about me?
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Don't you get to pass on too?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh.\xa0 But you see Scotty, I have no wish to.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 No?\xa0 Why?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I still have many things to see.\xa0 And I feel like I'm doing good here.\xa0 There's a story I read some time back, a sort of fable, about a puppet that comes to life.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 That's crazy talk.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 That's why it's a story.\xa0 In the tale, a cricket is asked to stay with him and make sure he does the right things.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 All right.\xa0 Wait, a cricket, like a bug?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 A talking bug, but yes, a bug.\xa0
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 That\u2019s just plumb crazy.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 True.\xa0 [gasp]\xa0 Look at the horizon!\xa0 I think they are on the move!
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Is there something we can do?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 This is one of those times I truly wish there was.

EPISODE 5
1_COMING
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 IN TOWN - HORSES, MEN, READYING FOR BATTLE
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [commands]\xa0 We need more shot at the western boundary!\xa0 Get someone over there!
SOLDIER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yessir!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 FEET RUN OFF SHARPLY
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 DISTANT APPROACH OF PAINED, SLOW RUNNING
SOLDIER2\xa0\xa0\xa0 Sir!\xa0 Someone's coming!\xa0 On foot!
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 On foot?\xa0
SENTRY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [off] Halt!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [breathless, with long gasps] I can't... If I stop...\xa0 I'm gon fall down...\xa0 And I gotta get to...\xa0 The commander.
SENTRY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Stop, I say!
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Let him on through.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 They're a-movin.\xa0 Deserters 'n comancheros.\xa0 Have guns.\xa0
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why are you--
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Kilt Scotty.\xa0 Took the horses.\xa0 Look sharp. Ungh!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 FALLS DOWN
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Are you all right?\xa0 [up] Someone get Doc!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'll be [coughing fit] fine. Jest let me lie till the shakin goes off.
2_SPOOK HORSES
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 We got to do something!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 And just what do you have in mind?\xa0 I've already done all I can, scouting them for Lem.\xa0 By the time they come close enough for us to get a look at, they will be moving fast enough that we shall hardly have time to observe.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Can't we spook the horses or nothing?\xa0 That's what haints do, isn't it?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I was with you the entire trip out from town.\xa0 Did the horses seem spooked to you?
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [really down] No.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 If Lem makes it back in time, there are ways we can help him.\xa0 Otherwise, we are merely spectators at this show.
3_TONIC
DOC\xa0\xa0\xa0 Can you get yourself around this?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [still hoarse, puffing] Tonic?
DOC\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shrug] Mostly brandy.\xa0 Medicinal.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [rusty chuckle] Thanks, doc. [drinks]
LISETTE \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Oh, goodness.\xa0 I believe you are Fanshaw's dear friend.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [coughs]
DOC\xa0\xa0\xa0 Din't say it was GOOD brandy.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [hawks, spits, clear throat]\xa0 Hits the spot.\xa0
LISETTE\xa0\xa0\xa0 [calculating] And not able to walk away.\xa0 [cruel chuckle] How perfectly jolly.
DOC \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0The commander's gone off to rally the men, but they're like to need you to guide them.\xa0 You up fer it?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Will be... shortly.\xa0 Any chance of a mite to eat?\xa0 It's been a powerful long night, and not looking to roll up any time soon.
4_DO SOMETHING
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 He's the only one what can hear us?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 We've come across... others.\xa0 But they are very rare.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [yelling] I want to DO something!\xa0 I want to help!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 There is no need to make such a ... a ruckus!\xa0 I am in precisely the same predicament!
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 But I--
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [off]\xa0 Will you two shut up?\xa0 They're trying to sneak up on your position!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Oh dear.\xa0 Come along.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Where?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 To do the only productive thing - gather as much information as possible.
5_SADDLED
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 MEN READY TO GO
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 MOUNT UP
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh of relief, but also soreness]\xa0
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 You doing all right, there, feller?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Better saddle than boots.\xa0 I fair run the soles offa these.
COMMANDER \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Morning comes, we'll stand you a new set.\xa0 Least we can do.\xa0 Let's go.
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 HORSES MOVE OUT
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Commander?
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hmm?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Rather than meet them headlong, since ain't no way to know how far they come, might could I suggest a defensive position?
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 This town is not a good place for that.\xa0 Too spread out.\xa0 And there's no way to get everyone into the fort, not without leaving near everything they own ripe for the picking.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nah - I'm a-thinkin just this side of the bridge, right about halfway out.\xa0 Bridge and creek - they ain't much, but if we can catch them this side of it, put their backs to water, and use the treeline for cover--
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 I like the way you think, hombre.\xa0 [up] Company!\xa0 [attention!]
6_FIGHT
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ain't no way you're taking me by surprise again, you-- ow!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 PUNCH
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [casual] shut up.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 That was a good'un! But what if he lands one on you - he's awful big!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Leave him!\xa0 [quiet, moving away]\xa0 We can't actually be hurt.\xa0 But not everyone realizes that, and many feel the pain, even when there is no reason to.\xa0 I learned that the hard way.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [off] I'm a-gonna get you!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Blast!\xa0 He may not be able to harm me, but he can annoy and distract, and make it difficult to get anything constructive done.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Maybe - maybe I could keep him from bothering you?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 How?
SCOTTY \xa0\xa0\xa0\xa0Well, I been plumb angry since I got kilt, and my momma says sometimes the best way to get over anger, if you don't got no pie, is to--
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Kill you, you girly man!
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [grunt as he punches him]
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 oof!
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Better'n pie!\xa0 You go on, Mr. Fanshaw, and do what you gotta.
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Good lad.
7_GRANDKIDS
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [muttered] Fanshaw? \xa0Damn.\xa0 Too far out.\xa0
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 What's the terrain like beyond the bridge?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nothing much to speak of.\xa0 Some hills.\xa0 A ridge off to the north where first we saw them.\xa0 No place fer them to make a stand tween here and there, though.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Good.\xa0 Cain't let this sort of thing go.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Course not.\xa0
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 You got the extra shot you needed, did you?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Ayup.\xa0 Had to leave all o' mine cached back with Scotty.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 You're sure he's ... dead?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 I'm afraid I do know dead when I see it.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sad] That's too bad.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Kin?
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nephew.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [trying to ease] He went down fightin.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 That don't give my sister grandbabies.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [symp] Nope, it shore don't.
8_PIRATES
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 MUCH CREEPING
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Looks like about three score.\xa0 Hardly a fair fight, sneaking up on a defenseless town at night.\xa0 Like pirates.
8A_FLASHBACK
MUSIC\xa0\xa0\xa0 FLASHBACK
AMB\xa0\xa0\xa0 BRIGHT SUNNY DAY
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Come along in now, bunny bug.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Stop calling me that, nanny!\xa0 I'm very nearly 10 years old.
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 You'll always be my little bunny bug.\xa0 Oh!\xa0 Whatever is that tea towel doing on your head?\xa0 [gasp of fear]\xa0 Did you hurt yourself?\xa0 Show nanny!
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 No!\xa0 I am a pirate.
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Do not be so silly.\xa0 There are no pirates.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Of course there are.\xa0 They are in books, so they must be real.
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Besides, you cannot be a pirate.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Well not just NOW.\xa0 When I am bigger, I shall be able to do whatever I want.
9_WASPS
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Did you see how big a force they had?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Not to count them, but it was bigger'n I thought.\xa0 At least 30, probably more.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [skeptical] Really?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 They had a dozen cookin fires goin, and you don't make a fire to feed a lone fellow.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [considers, then agrees] No, you don\u2019t.\xa0
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 'Sides, better to expect a whole hive of wasps than be surprised by one too many.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [chuckles]\xa0 Sound thinking.\xa0 [up]\xa0 Lieutenant!
10_BAG
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 STILL MUCH MOVEMENT
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 SCOTTY AND GRISHAM, FIGHTING
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [pleased] You tired yet, feller?\xa0 I ain't even blowed!
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [tired] You little whippersnapper!\xa0 Think you can pull a man's whiskers and walk away!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [muttered] There are some distinct benefits to being dead.\xa0 More than he will ever know.\xa0 [gasp] No.
RUFFIAN1\xa0\xa0\xa0 Hey!\xa0 I found something!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 CREAK OF LEATHER - LEM'S GEAR
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [worried] Damn!\xa0 Lem's bag!
RUFFIAN2\xa0\xa0\xa0 What?
SECOND\xa0\xa0\xa0 Silence!
RUFFIAN2\xa0\xa0\xa0 [whispered] bring it - we'll split it later!
RUFFIAN1\xa0\xa0\xa0 Split it?\xa0 Nonsense!\xa0 It's mine, whatever it is!
SECOND\xa0\xa0\xa0 [whispered] Keep moving!
11_SCOUT AHEAD
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [ordering, but hushed] Take your men and circle round up thataway.\xa0 Get to high ground and cut off retreat.
BOB\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yessir!
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 If you don't mind, sir, I'us thinkin I might scout on up ahead a mite.\xa0
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 You aren't even being paid to be part of this, fellow, why do you keep risking yourself?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [shrug] Someone's gotta.\xa0 'sides I had to leave my kit behind, and wanna get it if I can before someone else lays hands on it.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 Valuables?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Nothin worth money, but some things cain't be replaced.
COMMANDER\xa0\xa0\xa0 [teasing a bit] Go on then, but if you see them coming, you'll come back and tell us first, eh?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [chuckle] I reckon.
12_LEAD ROPE
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Mister Fanshaw!\xa0 That fellow just vanished!\xa0 Like he flew away, whilst I was a-hittin on him!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I fear I shall be gone shortly as well.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 I am not sure of his reasons, but I must stay with the bag.\xa0 Now that it has been found...
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why?\xa0 Keeping an eye on it?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 No.\xa0 There's something in there - Oh!\xa0 It's moving.\xa0 Stay with me as long as you can.\xa0
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Why can't I--?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Shh!\xa0 [very hurried] Picture a rope tied to something, say, to you - your body, over there.\xa0 And you are on the other end.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Like a training rope? [ASK PAT]
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Basically, yes.\xa0 You can go anywhere, within the circle made by that rope.
SCOTTY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [figuring it out] So you're ... tied to that bag?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Yes!\xa0 [gasp] Bloody thieves!
SOUND\xa0\xa0\xa0 FANSHAW SUCKED AWAY
13_BE A BOY
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I am going to be a pirate!\xa0 I shall sail the seven seas and steal all the gold!
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 Stealing is very wicked.\xa0
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 But you can't be a pirate without stealing!\xa0 Then you're just a sailor!
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 And young ladies do not become pirates.\xa0 Young ladies become mommies.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Or nannies.
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [reassuring] Don't fret yourself, bunny bug.\xa0 You shall be a mummy.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I should rather be a nanny.\xa0 Mummies are boring.\xa0 Nannies have things to do.
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [sigh] Mummies have things to do too.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 I don't want to be a mummy, I want to be a pirate!\xa0 I want to see the world!
NANNY\xa0\xa0\xa0 [stern] There are many thing in this world, Clara Fanshaw, that are only meant for boys.
YOUNG CLARA\xa0\xa0\xa0 Then I want to be a boy!

LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 If I can't see my way to get back and warn you quick enough, I'll shoot off twice--

GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [nasty chuckle] I was just wondring - if I kin grab you, I bet I kin kiss you, little lady!
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 [dodging] I doubt you'll catch me again, now that I'm watching for you, but I will admit that one advantage to being a ghost is that I needn't make an effort to remain upwind of you.

LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [quietly, but deadly serious] You don't stop making a fuss, I'm gon' kill your horse.
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 What?
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 You sit still and be quiet or that horse yer so attached to is gonna find itself on the wrong end of a bullet.\xa0 You hear me?
GRISHAM\xa0\xa0\xa0 [all the bluster gone]\xa0 Yeah.

FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 Not close enough to hear - as long as you stay quiet.
LEM\xa0\xa0\xa0 Good.\xa0 I been shot?
FANSHAW\xa0\xa0\xa0 At least twice, judging by the bandages.\xa0 Once in the chest, once in the leg, I should say.\xa0 I should have been watching.
