You ever read the bible, Dan? I read it one time. I was eight years old. My daddy just got hisself killed over a shot of whiskey and my mama said “we’re going back East to start over”. So she gave me a bible, sat me down in the train station, told me to read it. She was gonna get our tickets. Well, I did what she said. I read that bible from cover to cover. It took me three days. She never came back.
I’ve always liked you Byron, but you never know when to shut up. Even bad men love their mommas.
Now, you see Dan, generally pretty much everyone wants to live. That means Butterfield, too. He’s gonna walk out on you. He’s gonna come back up here, and he’s gonna walk out on you. Now, what you gotta figure is why you and your boy are gonna die. Because Butterfield’s railroad lost some money?
I knew a girl there. She was the daughter of a Sea-Captain. She had the most beautiful green eyes. About the greenest eyes I ever saw. Like yours. And I’d stare deep into them and they’d just change color infront of me. All the colors of the sea. What’d you say your name was again?
Well, would you look at all this? You all spared no expense this time, Byron. I gotta say, though, it’s probably cheaper just to let me rob the damn thing.
They’re going to kill me in the morning… I’ll never see the sun.
Well, Tommy, it seems that there was a Pinkerton inside that coach that wasn’t quite dead yet. Now, I know Charlie told you, because we done got but a few rules in this outfit. And this is what happens when you put us all at risk.
