Hellfire

And, so I say, turn back, brothers and sisters.

Turn back, for the way of the flesh is the way of destruction.

Come on!

For he who thinks only of earthly pleasure

and heeds not the Commandments of the Lord

is riding straight for hell's fire and brimstone.

Aw, shut up! Who cares?

I do, friend.

And I aim to do something about it

by building a church in this town.

A church?

What do you want with a church in no-man's-land?

To make it every man's land, friend.

Could you help by contributing something?

Sure.

I'll help put out the fire.

Thank you, friend.

But you shouldn't have done that for me.

For you? That was my drink he took.

Am I good for a drink?

I figured you was too good, but...

Thank you, friend.

There you are, friend.

And now you're not out anything.

I didn't know you'd collected enough to buy a drink.

I didn't.

You know, the trouble with you, old man,

is that you're in the wrong business.

Yes.

It does look like sin is paying off better.

But that is Satan's way.

First he leads you on

then he trips you up.

Don't you worry about him tripping me up.

We're good friends. There.

There's $1 for your church.

Compliments of me and Satan.

Well, don't you?

Mister,

we don't play that kind of poker in this territory.

Well, if that's the case, then I'll...

I'll just mosey along.

Here, I'll shove my stake into the pot to pay for the information.

Not so fast!

Let's see how well he can deal on the end of a rope.

That's an idea. Yeah.

The Bible says, "Thou shalt not kill."

It also says something about not cheating, don't it?

There is more punishment in letting a man live with his sin

than killing him for it.

A while ago, Preacher, I didn't take much stock in what you were saying,

but I'm sure agreeing with you now.

Now if you can only get them to see.

- I've seen enough. - No. No...

All right, get your hands in the air, all of you.

Get them high.

Now then, turn around and walk over to that wall.

Be quick about it.

You, bartender,

take a look at the preacher.

He's still breathing.

Now then, collect their guns.

That's fine.

Now put them on that table.

You.

Pick up the preacher and carry him out.

You two fellas, give him a hand.

It's about all I can do until I find the doctor somewhere.

You can forget about the doctor, friend.

I haven't a chance.

Now it's your own fault. Nobody asked you to butt in.

We're... We're not supposed to wait to be asked.

You mean believing in that book made you do it?

Believing in this book

made me want to do it.

Well, that's a wonder to me

you've lived as long as you have with that kind of thinking.

You're not complaining are you, friend?

I don't like to owe anybody anything.

Not even my neck.

You don't owe me anything.

But I've only one regret.

I shall not live to build a church.

A church?

Is that all that stands between you and dying happy?

That's all.

If I build it for you

will that sort of make you and me even?

Oh, more than even.

All right, you'll get your church.

But you'll...

You'll have to build it according to the rules.

What rules?

These.

Oh, no.

No deal.

That stuff's not for me.

Tell me,

how much do you know about it?

Not much.

If I said your horse was

a swayed back, spavin, old hunk of coyote bait

without ever having seen it, what would you say?

I'd say you were a fool.

Then, perhaps you'd...

Better read this before you pass judgement.

Howdy. Howdy.

You look like you've traveled a long way, stranger.

Yeah, I have.

My horse's right front shoe is loose. Can you reset it?

Right away.

Uh, you craving a little poker, mister?

Are you? Oh, don't mind if I do.

What would you like to play?

Well, I kind of like to play draw.

Good enough.

Would you like to cut?

I believe it's your open, isn't it?

I'll open for $1.

I'll put another $1.

I'll see that and up 2 more.

As long as you're kicking, let's kick it good.

$10.

You men must have pretty good hands.

There's one way to find out.

I already know.

You've got four 10s.

You've got four jacks.

You've got four queens.

You've got four kings.

I've got four aces.

Say, what's going on here?

Just a little lesson, friend.

When you play the other fella's game

you never know when you're gonna get a crooked deal.

But according to the rule book when you play his game

you'll always get a square deal,

no matter how ignorant you are.

A sky pilot.

No.

No, I'm no more a sky pilot than you are.

Just a fella with a job to do.

Six months ago, I would've kept all this money.

But right now, I'm gonna pass my hat

and ask you to donate some of it to help build a church.

How about you, friend?

I reckon you didn't mean that, did you?

Now just wait a minute.

You may not have any respect for that hat of mine,

but you're sure gonna have some for that church I'm aiming to build.

Now then, say you're sorry.

I'm sorry. Again!

I'm sorry.

Now, then say it good and loud

because there's a certain party who's not able to be with us,

but I'm hoping he'll hear.

I'm sorry!

Now, that's fine, friend.

Now I'm sorry that I lost my temper.

According to the rule book,

I'm supposed to be a peaceable man,

but sometimes I kind of forget.

Thank you.

Hold! Why you!

I don't know who you are, but nobody can throw whiskey in my face!

So you don't know me, Lew.

Well, take a good look

while you've still got a look left.

Mary.

That's better.

I wouldn't want you to go where you're going

without knowing who sent you there.

Only I've changed my name.

It isn't Mary anymore, it's...

Good morning.

If you want it to stay that way

put your hands up and keep them up.

Yes, ma'am.

Better go tell his brothers they're at Jack's place.

He sure died nice.

Look at them bullet holes.

You could cover them with a whiskey glass.

Think we ought to carry him inside?

No, we'd just have to carry him back out again.

Who done it? Doll Brown.

Doll Brown?

The way she handled that six-gun couldn't have been nobody else.

That don't stack up.

Lew never knowed a Doll Brown.

He must've known her.

The way she talked after cutting him down.

Where'd she go?

Took the trail to Cottonwood at a gallop.

Come on. Howdy.

What happened to him?

Too slow on the draw.

Too bad.

I'm trailing a female dressed like a cowpoke.

Answers to the name of Doll Brown, if she answers at all.

Seen anybody around here that might fit that description?
