The Rebel

Stage due any more today?

One'll be along presently.

Headin' which way?

Laredo.

That's where I'm headin', got me a job there.

You'll have to spend the night.

What for?

Country up ahead's a might rough,

you won't try it without daylight.

Make yourself at home, time'll pass quick enough.

Always does.

Much obliged.

- Howdy, Reb. - Howdy.

Name's Pace,

Bert Pace.

Yuma, Johnny Yuma.

Good horse?

Just a roan, but she was the only living thing I had.

Well, every living thing dies,

sooner or later, I promise you that.

Hi-yah!

Whoa!

Young man, may I have your arm?

Be a gentleman, Yuma.

Not very attractive is it?

I'm sorry.

So am I.

- Welcome to Marquee Junction. - Marquee Junction, huh?

Marquee Junction, looks like just a shack

as far as I can see?

I reckon it depends on what you're used to.

Well, I'm used to a great deal more, I can tell you that.

I'm sure that goes for Miss Cynthia as well.

I don't seem to have much choice right now.

Thanks to Mr. Farnum.

That gambler in Laredo didn't have much choice

when you killed him.

We'd better take a look at the station.

Would you mind helping me?

Thank you.

This here's the first time

I've ever seen someone like her,

close enough to put a hand on her.

Well I wouldn't try it, my friend.

The bounty hunter's the only one that puts a hand to her.

Just yesterday a man took a great yen for it.

He had an eye for a genuine Morocco binding

so I sold it to him and I made a very handsome profit, too.

Down right unusual for a salesman

to be trompin' the countryside with no goods,

nothin' to sell?

Well, it's nothing to you, Farnum,

so why don't you just tend to your business

and I'll tend to mine.

Can't seem to locate the attendant here?

I'm tendin' the outfit for a day or two,

Mikey got hisself a touch of fever.

I'll see to the horses then,

you look after the passengers.

Take good care of 'em.

Sure will, give them the best we got.

Got a tasty meal sittin' of the fire already,

there's enough for everybody.

If you folks want to take seats at the board, here.

I didn't know you had a curiosity for guns, Mr. Cramer?

Why, no, Miss Cynthia,

I mean, yes.

Yes, I do.

I find them a very intriguing subject,

very intriguing indeed.

How 'bout you?

I'm, I'm sorry Miss Cynthia, I truly am.

Seat folks?

None of the rifles stay loaded, you know?

I already tried 'em,

causes less trouble that way.

Miss Kenyon?

You aren't much of a conversationalist are you, Farnum?

Doin' my job.

I find I keep my mind on it better if I talk less.

Well, if I had a traveling companion like that

I don't think I'd have any trouble keeping

my mind on it under any circumstances.

Isn't that right, Yuma?

I think Farnum makes good sense.

Little light-hearted conversation at the dinner table

makes the juices flow.

Well, got the horses all tucked in.

Looks like a nice, clear evening,

crisp weather, good for sleeping.

Well, there's not much more I can do around here today

and usually when I'm in these parts

I have dinner with a friend.

T'ain't nothin' nearby 'cept the Widow Bonner

and she lives...

Stagecoach leaves at dawn, sharp.

Well, have a good night, folks.

See ya in the morning.

Even during meals, Mr. Farnum?

You have three big, strong men to help you

if I try to get away.

Oh, well, I suppose I should be thankful

for the little things.

To begin with.

It's not my job to worry

about guilt or innocence, man or woman.

The picture doesn't matter either.

Sure I make a livin' at it, so does the man that hangs 'em,

and the man that buries 'em.

Maybe they got families to feed, too?

I've never seen any of you before.

I don't know who you are, where you come from, any of you.

Maybe one of you's here for somethin' you shouldn't be?

For her?

I swear this to you, I'll take Cynthia Kenyon to Laredo

dead or alive, I'll stake my life on it.

Well, you folks are about through, I see.

This many people, I reckon I'll bed down in the stable.

Give you customers some spreadin' out room.

Left y'all a bucket of water should you feel the need.

Good fresh spring up here, coffee pot's all set, too,

all ya gotta do is wet her and heat it up.

Sleep well, folks, coach leaves at dawn.

Can't leave soon enough to suit me.

Water's warm, it's probably been standin' there all day.

Never was my drink anyway.

Water's water.

Yuma, hold it!

Dead.

I guess somebody at this station didn't come along

just for the ride?

Yeah, we all had a chance at the water bucket.

Well, Farnum said it, none of us know anything

at all about the other.

Well, now, wait a minute,

I couldn't kill anyone, not anyone.

Somebody could and did for her!

Look, mister, I just do the chores here, I'm like you.

I ain't seen none of 'em before.

You're not the regular attendant.

Unlock it and we can all go our separate ways,

no one need worry, it's a good deal.
