BARTENDER: This might help a little.

Front

The best gunslingers are blackout drunk when they duel!

Back

RUSTY: Drink it Arthur.

Front

[Take a sip] It's pretty good. [What's that] It's pretty damn good, alright.

Back

BARTENDER: I don't care what the code says. There's no gunfights in my saloon.

Front

[Take second gun out and aim at BARTENDER] Code Infraction: Purposefully ignoring the code!

Back

RUSTY: Nobody around me is ever not being asserted upon.

Front

He's very assertive.

Back

Over here!

Front

Stay where you are, Bill! Once I get my hands on you...

Back

RUSTY: Take a sip. Anybody.

Front

Say what you want about the code, I'm not drinking ICE TEA.

Back

KID: If it wasn't for your stupid **ing code I wouldn't be in this mess.

Front

Did you just call the code "stupid **ing"?

Back

RUSTY: Uh oh, Arthur's feeling emotional again.

Front

I know you're in here somewhere Bill...I don't want no trouble...I just want my wife back is all.

Back

RUSTY: Might not be around long enough to learn it in full, but hey, progress is progress!

Front

[Get up and put my arm around the KID] Now you're thinking like a cowboy, cowboy! See, we don't care about living, dying, or methodical decision making. That's the beauty of the code: you live moment to moment, not considering lasting consequences. [KID: Yeah, I can see that.] It's a beautiful thing.

Back

KID: I believe I would be, yes.

Front

HA. Intimidation is what separates the strong from the weak, kid. A real cowboy would assert himself and shoot that fella in the leg, just like I did to Buffalo Bill. Brush up on your code. [Do another shot. Go to poker table.] Deal me in, Rusty.

Back

RUSTY: The code! The code got us here!

Front

The code's done nothing but protect me through life, Rusty, so don't talk shit about it.

Back

BARTENDER: He didn't take anything, Arthur.

Front

You're telling me that marrying my wife a year after she left me isn't stealing? You know what the code says: finders keepers! Some moonshine, bartender. [Do a shot of moonshine] Tell me something, kid. If a guy with a similar name to your own started conversating with your wife, you'd be a little intimidated, right?

Back

MOONSHINE: You're on. I'll see you outside in fifteen. [Moonshine exits]

Front

[Turn to the kid. Silence.] Kid, you have got to have the biggest pair that I've ever seen. And I don't mean that in any code violating way.

Back

RUSTY: See, the code isn't that complicated.

Front

Really not that complicated.

Back

KID: It's not Bill, Arthur. It's me, Rusty.

Front

Mocking me again, are you Rusty? Typical. You don't know the pain I feel. You don't know heartbreak. [Sway over to bar, perch beside KID] What's your name, small fry? Who gives a **? [Take a big swig of my drink] You've heard of Buffalo Bill, haven't ya kid?

Back

KID: I know...who you are?

Front

What's my name then? Akh. The name's Arthur. Antelope Arthur.

Back

RUSTY: You'd probably still be with your wife if it wasn't for the code, Arthur.

Front

Well I'll be damned.

Back

KID: Um, no, I'm afraid I don't.

Front

[Breathe out] Come on, yes you do. You know who I am.

Back

MOONSHINE: Can I get a sip?

Front

Sure thing. [We both start taking swigs from the bottle]. It's just so damn tasty. [MOONSHINE: Goes down so smooth!] You know what I decided? I'm dropping the Antelope from my name. I don't need it. Just call me Arthur. [RUSTY: We all do that anyway.] Let me have my moment. (pause) Hey, where did that kid go?

Back

KID: So sorta like Buffalo -

Front

No! Not sorta like Buffalo Bill. Buffalo Bill is sorta like me. I was the first cowboy to put an animal in front of his name. I was the first to use the literary technique of alliteration. But then Buffalo Bill came along. He took my name, and my wife!

Back

[The KID hands back the hat. RUSTY puts it back on.]

Front

Countless code violations right there. You gonna let that slide, Rusty?

Back

KID: ** it then. I forfeit. My gun doesn't even have any bullets in it.

Front

[Get up and aim my gun at the KID] You got about thirty seconds until I blow your head off kid! [RUSTY] It's tradition, Rusty! This shrimp won't stop our tradition!

Back

KID: Yessir. My daddy used to tell me stories about Buffalo Bill all the time!

Front

Buffalo Bill this, Buffalo Bill that. Everyone talks about Buffalo Bill. But nobody ever talks about me. Course, you must know who I am.

Back

It's me Arthur! I'm here! Buffalo Bill is here!

Front

Huh? Who said that?

Back

KID: That's the thing! I don't want this duel either, so we're on the same page.

Front

It don't work like that. If a duel is challenged, a duel happens. Its code.

Back

[KID turns around] Darn it...

Front

You only need to take ten steps, kid.

Back

KID: Getting too close would be a textbook infraction on the code.

Front

Aha! That's right, kid!

Back

KID: How did we get here?

Front

I rode here on my horse...

Back

BARTENDER: These fellas don't drink it for the taste, kid.

Front

BUFFALO BILL! ARE YOU IN HERE?
