  Speaker 2: out of that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: So not alive at least.
• 19:33
  Speaker 7: What are you talking about?
• 19:36
  Speaker 11: According to the law.
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: I've got to write the law.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Huh, you've broken that every chance you've got, tried to
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: break the men who serve it, like you've tried to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: do with me, for instance, when your own neck gets caught,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: you start hiding behind the law. Nevertheless, all right, fine,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: right now, The law out here is kind of sketchy.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Some things that covered, some things that doesn't. That's where
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I come in. Affair between you and me is one
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of the things the law doesn't quite cover.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to run it my way.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: That kind of talk won't help you anything.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You hired a man to kill me, offered him five
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars to get me out of the way.
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: You can't prove that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: He's made one try and he's missed.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: He's still around Dodge somewhere, waiting, and he's going to
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: try again. But I don't know who he is, so
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: all the odds are with him.
• 20:26
  Speaker 10: That is your problem, till or not, mind, I don't
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: know anything about that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: You know what will happen though.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: If he does get me, The first thing Chester's gonna
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: do is come straight back here to the jail and
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: pump a couple of bullets through these bars here. Uh,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: your boy may kill me, Hale, but you're not going
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: to live to profit by it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, he wouldn't do it.
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: Shoot out a helpless only either one of you would do.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Chester and I have been friends for a long time.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Don't you ask him whether he do it or not?
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: No question about it, mister Dylan. Of course i'd do it.
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: Oh no, you wouldn't.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: Well, you hired somebody to shoot mister Dylan in the back.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: I don't see where you got any kick coming.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Oh there's your answer, mister Hale. That's why I arrested him.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Come on, Chester, let's go look the town over.
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: No, no, it's tonight that he's gone.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Who's gonna do what?
• 21:25
  Speaker 7: I don't know, Marshall.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: I don't know anything about it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: That's too bad.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: If I know his name, i'd have a lot better chance,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you know, so would you. Well, let's see you later, Hale,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: or anyway, Chester will.
• 21:45

  Speaker 12: Rest him?
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Tell there's no evidence. Chester. The only way I see

  Speaker 4: is to make it personal. Let's go. Yes, now, I
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: want you to stay out of it. Chester doesn't cover me.
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: That's a Whatever you say, mister.

  Speaker 4: You ought to do better than that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: After all, I'm worth five thousand dollars to you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: Who says lost in the hail your memory is getting better.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: Mark, Sure you do.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: A deal you made with Hale.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: He told me all about it after I threw him
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: in jail and persuaded him a little bit.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: I told you I don't know anything.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: You're wearing a gun there, want you draw it and
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: go for five thousand dollars.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Take a chance.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: This fellow you're talking abouts in jail. I reckon he

  Speaker 5: wouldn't have anybody working for him, now.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Would he. You told me.
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: I got no reason to draw on you, marsh.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Not unless my back's turned. I think you're as yellow
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: as hale is.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: This won't do you any good. I ain't drawn.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: You tried to kill me night before last, Grainger.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: Can you prove that?
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: If I could, you either be in jail you'd be dead.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: Well, since you can't prove it, what's argument?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Just that I don't like the idea of somebody trying
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to shoot me in the back. If you're any man
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: at all, we'll settle this here and no.
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: Leave me alone, Marshall. I haven't done anything.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Now you still figure you got no reason to draw
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: on me? No reason.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: I draw it.
