Beans
Excuse me, Sheriff Rango. I wanna talk to you...
Rango
Hey, Beans! What do you think of the new duds? I got a ten-gallon hat marked down for fifteen!
Beans
Erm, that's nice...
Rango
Have you met Angelique?
A Angelique
Hello, Beans.
Beans
Hello, Angelique.
Beans
Floozie.
K Kid
Excuse me, Mr. Rango.
Rango
[aims his gun at kid's face]
I WILL BLOW THAT UGLY RIGHT OFF YOUR FACE!
K Kid
I was just thinking that... [shows his notepad]
Rango
Oh. [chuckles nervously] You want the old John Hancock, do ya? Here, hold this. [hands his gun to the kid]
Beans
Sheriff Rango, this isn't a social call.
K Kid
[looks into the barrel of Rango's gun]
There's a bullet in there!
Rango
[as he signs the kid's notepad]
Oh, I know. I know all about the old shindig this afternoon. I ordered myself some right fancy duds.
Beans
Sheriff, I'd like to file...
Rango
Oh, you too? No problem. [takes the mother's bible and signs it] Here, let me just...
Beans
I need ya to investigate...
Rango
Y'know, Beans, I betcha clean real nice if ya put a little effort into it.
Beans
What?
Rango
[to the kid]
Now, remember, son, stay in school, eat your veggies, burn everything but Shakespeare. [takes his gun]
Beans
Sheriff!
Beans
SHERIFF RANGO! If that is your real name. I am trying to save my daddy's ranch, which is on the verge of an agricultural meltdown, while you're playing pattycake with this here trollop-! [freezes in trance]
A Angelique
[places a bowl of fruit on Beans' head]
Sad, really. Such a drab little thing.
Rango
Why does she do that?
F Fergus
It's a survival reflex.
Doc
Her switch is just broken.
Rango
Well, that's an inconvenience.
Beans
[suddenly comes out of her trance]
-It is not a rash! It is a birthmark! [sees the bowl of fruit on her head] I did it again, didn't I?
Rango
Did what?
Beans
Let me ask you somethin', did anybody here mentioned what happened to our last sheriff?
[Rango hears a hammer pounding and sees a spider building a coffin; the spider smiles at Rango, causing him to gulp in fear]
Waffles
Marshmallows remind of going campin' with my daddy. I could eat 'em all night long! [Waffles' marshmallow gets caught on fire] Of course, he didn't make me cough 'em back up again for breakfast.
Buford
[eats Waffles' marshmallow and belches]
This one time, I coughed up an entire Dalmatian.
Elgin
That ain't nothin'. I coughed up a whole tribe of pygmies. They started looking at me weird.
F Fergus
I remember them; they were quite friendly.
S Spoons
I found a human spinal column in my fecal matter once. [everyone looks at Spoons in concern]
Sergeant Turley
You... might wanna get that looked at.
Doc
[chuckles nervously]
Uh, pass the beans, Beans.
Beans
Sheriff?
Rango
Uh, no, thank you.
S Spoons
So, Mr. Rango. Could you tell us about the Spirit of the West?
Doc
Oh, yeah. Tell us about that.
Waffles
Is it true what they say?
Rango
Oh, yeah. The Spirit of the West! The eternally unattainable ideal! [draws pictures in the sky with a lit stick] They say he rides in an alabaster carriage with golden guardians to protect him! But he only appears to those who have undertaken an epic quest, and have made it... to the other side. [everyone looks at Rango in astonishment]
Sergeant Turley
Uh, the other side of what?
Rango
It's a metaphor. [leans on the stick which then flings onto Waffles]
Waffles
Ow! My eye!
Rango
Uh, that's gonna heal right up.
A Ambrose
Sheriff, what are you going to do about... [whispers] Rattlesnake Jake?
Rango
[rattling can be heard]
What, where?!
S Spoons
[rattles his spoons]
Sorry 'bout that. Word is you come against him once or twice.
Rango
Oh, yeah. Jake. You mean my brother.
Sergeant Turley
Your brother?
Rango
THAT'S WHAT I SAID!
Buford
But he's a snake, and you're a lizard.
Rango
Well, Mama had an active social life.
F Fergus
Did he ever bite you?
Rango
Sure enough did! [shows everyone his belly button] Look at that baby! Go ahead, you can touch it!
Doc
Well, that's interestin'. [pokes his finger into Rango's belly button] That there's a belly button.
Rango
Luckily, I'm immune to his venom. I put some in my coffee just to give it a little tang.
Waffles
Is it true he's only scared of them hawks?
Rango
Them's what we call his natural predator.
Sergeant Turley
[a lonely coyote can be heard howling]
All this talk of that serpentine devil's puttin' my quills on edge!
Buford
I ain't sleepin' tonight. No, sir!
Rango
Don't you all worry 'bout a thing. Come tomorrow, we'll locate that water and return to a hero's welcome.
S Spoons
Friends, before we bunk down, I'd like us all to join hands for a moment, say a few words to the Spirit of the West. [everyone hold each other's hands] Ain't always spoken rightly to ya, Spirit of the West, but tonight I wanna thank you for bringing Sheriff Rango into our lives. It's a hard life we got. Sometimes, I dunno how we're gonna make it. But somehow, Sheriff Rango makes me think we will. We needed a brave man, and you sent us one. It's nice to have someone to believe in again. Thank you, Spirit of the West. Amen. [everyone else says "Amen"]
Rango
[notices Wounded Bird shedding his feathers, then walks over to him]
I see you're consulting with the spirits.
WB Wounded Bird
No, I'm molting. Means I'm ready to mate.
Rango
[nervously]
Heh. I'll keep that in mind.
WB Wounded Bird
[picks up a cactus fruit with his staff]
Cactus fruit.
Rango
Ah, yes, the ancient cactus fruit. I heard you people use it as seasoning when preparing your native dishes. [starts to eat the cactus]
WB Wounded Bird
Also, natural laxative. [Rango spits the cactus fruit out.] Shh, pick up trail! 3 men, heading west. 1 blind, 1 with... [sniffs the air] ...Enlarged prostate, riding sidesaddle.
Waffles
What'd he say?
F Fergus
They're ridin' sidesaddle!
Buford
What?
Beans
Shh, we're whispering!
Sergeant Turley
Someone's got a bad valve!
Doc
Alright, which one of you fellas needs a checkup?
Waffles
Uh, what exactly are we gonna do now?
Rango
Now... we ride. [turns to the 4 owls] That means we're riding now! This moment.
