Some Excerpts:

EDWINA:  What happened next?

MINDY:  Johnny came out of the sun at a full gallop.  He had his rifle in one hand and his reins in the other.  He was riding like the wind and shootin' his rifle again and again until the outlaws rode off.

EDWINA:  How exciting.

MINDY:  The wagon I was in hit a bump and I went flyin' and the next thing I know'd I was on the back of Johnny’s horse with his strong arms around me.

TILLA:  May I ask you why your brave cowboy didn’t take you back to the wagon train himself?

MINDY:  I’m sure he had his reasons, Ma’am.

HUMPHREY:  He was low on ammunition, couldn't risk the time to reload and couldn’t be sure if the bandits would counter attack.  By that time the wagon train was out of harms way and on guard.  The sensible thing was to get the girl to safety and take her back when it was safer.

TILLA:  Are you a mind reader Mr. Hupperduck?

HUMPHREY:  Just sort of makes sense when you think about it, Miss DeHon.

MINDY:  But good golly gumdrops this don’t get me any closer to getting’ back to the wagon train and my Ma and Pa.

(Johnny enters.)

TILLA:  Oh, stop whining.

HUMPHREY:  And there he is ladies; the man of the hour.

MINDY:  Johnny ... Johnny, it’s so good to see you again.

JOHNNY:  (Aside.)  This would all be a lot easier if Edwina wasn’t so darn beautiful.

HUMPHREY:  Our conquering hero and avenging angel.

EDWINA:  Mindy, he’s only been gone five minutes.

TILLA:  Actually it has been four minutes and thirty seven seconds.

HUMPHREY:  She's doing it again!

MINDY:  Johnny, these people won’t let me leave.

TILLA:  Please don’t involve me in this.

HUMPHREY:  We’re not doing this to be mean, young lady.

EDWINA:  Mr. Sterling, wouldn't it be dangerous to try to find the wagon train this late?

JOHNNY:  I don’t know as it'd be dangerous but it ain’t something I’d like to try.

MINDY:  But, Johnny, you can do anything.

JOHNNY:  Nice of you to say Kiddo, but I’m only flesh and blood like everbody else.

HUMPHREY:  You’re being too modest cowboy.  The young lady here told us all about your exploits.

---

TILLA:  I was just remembering what the girl said about The Rattler's eyes. His eyes were the darkest most evil eyes I ever seen. Those ... those were the eyes I was just looking into.  The most evil eyes I’ve ever seen.

HUMPHREY:  Here it comes.

TILLA:  You’re The Rattler!

HUMPHREY:  And there it is.  Well, if you really want to know what happened to the girl you’re about to find out.

TILLA:  What ... what are you going to do?

HUMPHREY:  I’m going to tie you up with the girl until I’ve finished my business.

TILLA:  Then what are you going to do?

HUMPHREY:  Then it won’t matter.  Come on sister.  (He grabs her arm and takes her to the door.)

TILLA:  And to think I honestly thought you were husband material.

HUMPHREY:  Life’s full of disappointments ain’t it.

(Humphrey and Tilla exit.  Johnny and Eddie enter.)

JOHNNY:  Where can she be?  She’s gotta be around here somewhere.

EDWINA:  We’ll find her, Johnny.

JOHNNY:  Poor kid is out there all alone in the dark; scared and cold.  I ain’t felt so darn helpless since ...  (Johnny is suddenly silent.)

EDWINA:  Since when Johnny?

JOHNNY:  Since I got word that ... that my pal was gone and there weren’t nothin’ I could do to help him.  Now I find you and ...

EDWINA:  Johnny, it’s going to be okay.

JOHNNY:  Eddie, I only came here because Mindy needed help and I saw the lights on.  I didn’t know this was your ranch.  I’m only here because I was on The Rattler’s trail.  Meetin’ up with you ... well, it was sort of an accident.

EDWINA:  It doesn’t matter how it happened Johnny.  The important thing is that you’re here now.
