Well, this happens to be a nocturne.

Ike Clanton
[Curly Bill has just shot Marshal White to death. Wyatt has him by his ear, and is fending off an erstwhile lynch mob, announcing his intent to take him before the judge in Tucson when he is accosted by the Clanton brothers.]

Hey, Kansas law dog, you turn him loose or we'll tear you apart...

[presses his pistol to Ike's forehead]

You die first, get it? Your friends might get me in a rush, but not before I make your head into a canoe, you understand me?

He's bluffing! Let's take him!

You ain't as stupid as you look, Ike..

I have two guns, one for each of you.
