Mayor Tortoise John

My fellow Dirtonians, I welcome you to our great day of deliverance. Hallelujah. [Dirtonians: Hallelujah!] Acolytes, prepare the holy spigot! [Acolytes walk up the stairs bringing a large wheel] We have a newcomer amongst us today, my friends. A man, I think, needs a little introduction to you; so bold has been his entry into our fair society. Mr. Rango, would you step forward? [Rango walks forth] The time has come, my friends. The time that was foretold. [Dirtonians: Hallelujah!] The sacred time. [Dirtonians: Hallelujah!] The time of destiny! [Dirtonians: Hallelujah!] The time of deliverance! [Dirtonians: Hallelujah!] It is the time of HYDRATION!!!

Mayor Tortoise John The future, Mr. Rango. The future. One day soon all of this is going to fade into myth. The frontier town, the lawman, the gunslinger. There's just no place for them anymore. We're civilized now. Mayor Tortoise John Our new Sheriff has been playing the hero for so long, he’s actually starting to believe it. Call in Rattlesnake Jake. [Bad Bill: Uh… Jake’s the Grim Reaper. He never leaves without takin’ a blimin’ soul.] DO IT! Mayor Tortoise John You and the sheriff are more alike than you think. You're nothing but legends. Pretty soon, no one will believe you even existed. One last bullet to kill one last outlaw. [chuckling evilly] How fitting. [clicks the gun but nothing happened... because the bullet's gone] Whuh?
