RykerL [from the bar to Wilson and Morgan, watching Grafton going into the store] I like Starrett too. But I'll kill him if I have to. I tell you, I'll kill him if I have to.

Wilson

You mean I'll kill him if you have to. [Morgan chuckles]

Just get Starrett in here. It wouldn't take much to bait him. [He moves to the saloon doors and looks out and sees Shipstead and Torrey approaching]

Well lookey here........lookey here.... [Wilson, curious, joins him at the saloon door followed by Ryker]

Wilson

Why don't we just gun him and get on with it? One of them's run already. It won't take much to stampede the rest.

Ryker

Remember, Wilson, this has gotta look right to Grafton.

Wilson

Hey! Come here!

Shipstead

I wouldn't go over there if I were you.

Torrey

Nobody's gonna buffalo me. [to Wilson] What can I do for you?

Wilson

And where d'you think your goin'?

Torrey

To get a whisky.

Shipstead

Torrey! Torrey!

Wilson

They tell me they call you Stonewall.

Torrey

There anything wrong with that?

Wilson

It's just funny. I guess they named a lot of that Southern trash after old Stonewall.

Torrey

Who'd they name you after, or would you know?

Wilson

I'm saying that Stonewall Jackson was trash himself. Him and Lee and all the rest of them rebs. You too.

Torrey

Your nothing but a low-down lyin' Yankee!

Wilson

Prove it.[Wilson shoots Torrey]

One less sodbuster.

I came to get your offer, Ryker.

Ryker

I'm not dealing with you. Where's Starrett?

You're dealing with me, Ryker.

Ryker

I got no quarrel with you, Shane. You walk out now and no hard feelings.

What's your offer, Ryker?

Ryker

To you, not a thing.

That's too bad.

Ryker

Too bad?

Yeah, you've lived too long. Your kind of days are over.

Ryker

My days! What about yours, gunfighter?

The difference is I know it.

Ryker

All right. So we'll all turn in our six-guns to the bartender. We'll all start hoeing spuds. Is that it?

Not quite yet. [to Wilson] We haven't heard from your friend here.

Wilson

I wouldn't push too far if I were you. Our fight ain't with you.

It ain't with me, Wilson?

Wilson

No it ain't, Shane.

Ryker

I wouldn't pull on Wilson, Shane. [to Will Atkey] Will, you're a witness to this.

So you're Jack Wilson.

Wilson

What's that mean to you, Shane?

I've heard about you.

Wilson

And what've you heard, Shane?

I've heard that you're a low-down Yankee liar.

Wilson

Prove it.
