Drew MacFarlane
- Drew MacFarlane: So... my daughter informs me that you're here on some secret mission to remove some undesirables from the county.
- John Marston: Something like that. I'm grateful for your hospitality, sir.
- Drew MacFarlane: Ah ya know we've lived here for 30 years now. Came here from the East. The land had never been settled. For 10 years we fought the Indians. Tough men. Then we had outlaws and we had drought, and we had smallpox, terrible winters, cholera. I've buried more of my children than I've raised.
- John Marston: Sorry to hear that sir.
- Drew MacFarlane: I've seen strong men wither and die under that unforgiving sun. That whole herds of cattle take sick and die. But I've never once doubted my life here.
- John Marston: No sir.
- Drew MacFarlane: When I hear about this so-called Federal Government, sending out agents to covertly murder and control people, then I start to worry. I mean, alright, Williamson is a menace and men like him are the plague, but isn't a government agent a worse menace? In all that symbolizes, I mean.
- John Marston: You may be right sir.
- John Marston: You sure have some interesting theories on what the government's doin', sir.
- Drew MacFarlane: They ain't theories, Mr. Marston. I saw the telegram the Marshal got from Blackwater. It ain't exactly a state secret who sent you.
- Bonnie MacFarlane: Well, is he wrong? I saw those men from the train.
- John Marston: The government can go to hell, if you ask me. Those sons-a-bitches'd steal a coin off a dead man's eye.
- Bonnie MacFarlane: Mr Marston!
- Drew MacFarlane: He's right. Now, I don't know much about politics...
- Bonnie MacFarlane: Please Pa, can we just enjoy the ride?
- Drew MacFarlane: ...but I know we're only as free as they say we are. Power is like a drink. The more you have, the more you want. And there's few men who can handle it.
- Bonnie MacFarlane: There's certain things in this country a woman could do much better, if you ask me.
- John Marston: I ain't gonna argue with that, Miss MacFarlane.
- Drew MacFarlane: I don't have a clue, all right, but it's gotta be somethin' to do with that government boy.
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: We'll talk to him, find out what he knows.
- Drew MacFarlane: Fuckin' is.
- [Marston walks in]
- Drew MacFarlane: [furious] Where is she, Marston?
- John Marston: Who?
- Drew MacFarlane: Who? My daughter, ya fuckin' scum! Where's Bonnie?
- John Marston: I don't know, I haven't seen her since after the fire. Why?
- Drew MacFarlane: Why? Because she hasn't been seen since yesterday afternoon.
- [to Johnson]
- Drew MacFarlane: I don't think I can cope! If I lose another child...
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: Now, Drew, nobody's lost anything yet. I'm sure she's fine...
- Outlaw on Horse: [offscreen, outside] Oh, Mr. Marshal! Mr. Marshal! Come out, come out, wherever you are!
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: Who the hell's that?
- [they walk outside to find a mounted Williamson gang member waiting for them]
- Outlaw on Horse: Even better. Good day, Mr. MacFarlane.
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: Get down from that horse, boy, or I'll shoot.
- Outlaw on Horse: [laughs] I wouldn't recommend that, mister. Not if Drew MacFarlane wants to see his Bonnie back in one piece. Hey, Mr. MacFarlane! That's a nice girl you got there.
- Drew MacFarlane: Get down from there!
- Outlaw on Horse: Y'know, part of me's got to thinkin' I should just marry her myself. Give her a baby and that.
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: What do you want?
- Outlaw on Horse: That's better. I want Norman Deek. I want him set free. Then you'll get your daughter back, mister.
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: We don't do deals with outlaws, boy.
- Outlaw on Horse: Yeah, you do! Let's not waste each other's time pretendin' otherwise. Whole government themselves ain't much more than a bunch of crooks! This is the land of opportunity, mister! And I'm givin' you the opportunity to get your daughter back, before 15 friends of mine take out all their anger and their loneliness on her.
- Drew MacFarlane: Where the hell is she?
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: Where is she, boy?
- Outlaw on Horse: Bring Deek up to Tumbleweed in a couple hours. And don't get no funny ideas, or I will slit that whore's throat myself! You boys have a pleasant afternoon. Yah!
- [he rides away]
- Marshal Leigh Johnson: What do we do?
- John Marston: We do as he says. You and me, Marshal. Mr. MacFarlane, I'll get you your daughter back. I owe her that.
- Drew MacFarlane: [grasps Marston's hand anxiously] Please do.
