Full Script and Dialogue of No Less a Man
Hands up. Aw, you found me. Yeah, but I almost didn't. You was hiding good that time. Come on, I bet this time you'll never find me. - Let's play again. - Well, I can't play no more. I got a lot of work to do. But we'll try again tomorrow. Let's see how good you can ride, huh? Come on. Giddyup. - Morning, sheriff. - Martha, how's Bud? - Fine. - Good. - Hi, sheriff. - Albert. Sy. - Ben. How are you? - Well, well, Roy, how are you? - Great. Just great. - Feeling good, huh? - Yeah. - Good. - What are you doing up there, fella? - Riding a horse, Mr. Cartwright. Tell me, Jerry, does he handle real easy? Oh, sure. BEN: Heh, heh, heh. - He's getting to be quite a horsebacker. - Sure is. Going to the office? - Yeah. - I'll walk along with you. Not walk, Mr. Cartwright. Ride. By golly, Jerry, you're absolutely correct. I'll ride along with you. - What brings you to town, Ben? - Oh, just a little business at the bank. - How are the boys? - Just fine. You say hello to them for me, will you? Come out, say hello for yourself. We haven't seen you out there in weeks. Well, I've been kind of busy. You know, with that other thing. Roy, now, look, you look real good, real fine. You really feeling good? Ben, that was just a flesh wound. I'm as good as new. - Whoa. Hi, Mom. - Hello, Mr. Cartwright. - Mrs. Wilson. - Mr. Coffee. How you feeling, sheriff? Fine. Just fine. Oh, I'm glad to hear that. - Thank you. Mom, don't you wanna see what a good rider I am? Watch. Giddyup. ROY: Unh! Jerry. - Off you go. - It's all right, Mrs. Wilson. Gosh, I'm sorry, Mr. Coffee. Was that your wound? It's all right, son. Now, don't you worry about it. I'm sorry you got wounded too. My father says it never should have happened. Jerry. Well, maybe your pa is right. You run along now, and I'll see you tomorrow, Mrs. Wilson. Mr. Cartwright. Mr. Coffee. Bye, Mrs. Wilson. What Ed Wilson means is that I ain't as fast with a gun as I was. It don't take much for some folks to start shooting off their mouths about something that don't concern them, does it, Ben? Does anybody intend to answer that knock at the door? Well, I suppose that means me. I don't know why I had to be born the youngest. So you could have respect for your elders, that's why. That's right. Hop to it, sonny. Ahem. Would you please, son? Long as you put it that way, Pa. - Hi, Mr. Armstead. - Good evening, Joe. How are you? - Well, Ben, good evening. - Well... - How are you, Frank? - Hoss. Well, Browning, how's business in Virginia City? How have you been? - Hoss. - Adam. BEN: Sit down, gentlemen. Sit down. Yeah, thank you. - Some coffee? - Say, how about a drink? - No, thank you, Ben. We appreciate your hospitality, but this is not a social visit. We're here on a matter of some importance. It's about Roy Coffee. Nothing's happened to Roy, has it? Something has happened to Roy Coffee. He's grown old. He's used up. Well, that's a rough way of putting it, isn't it? There's no time for sentiment, Ben. I'm concerned with something a lot more important. Money. Dollars and cents. Now, we're businessmen, all of us, including you. We've got money invested around here. Good money. And we need law to protect our property. Well, seems to me that Roy has done a pretty good job up to now. What about from now on? No, he's slowing up. Look at that bullet he took from that drunk drifter a couple of weeks ago. Now, that is not the kind of sheriff I want protecting my property. Well, Roy's always been a... Whatever he's been, right now he's an old fuddy-duddy. Gentlemen, Virginia City is growing. It's not a one-cow town anymore. Now, running that sheriff's office is a business. It has to be handled efficiently. You been in that office of Roy's lately? That looks like a compost heap. He's got loose papers flying all over the place. He's got wanted posters he probably hasn't even looked at. Tell them about the Wagner gang. - You see, I've got a young wife and I... - What about the Wagner gang? They've been operating all around here, Ben, shooting up towns, sticking up banks, molesting private citizens. They'll be hitting Virginia City sooner or later. You can put your money on that. And Roy Coffee is not the man to handle them. Now, wait a minute. I think you're selling Roy Coffee a little short. You stay out of this, young fella. When I want your opinion, I will ask for it. Well, you're gonna get my opinion when you start talking down Roy. Joseph. Please, gentlemen. Now, let's stop arguing and just get to the point, huh? All right, Frank. What is the point? Well, Ben, we just thought we'd drop in. We've been talking about this thing, and... Well, you, Adam, Carter and I are the four members of the city council. And... Well, Ben, the point is Carter and I feel that Roy Coffee should be replaced. Well, I'm afraid I don't agree with you. You don't, huh? All right, let's ask a more experienced man. What about you, Ben? It's something I've gotta think about, certainly. What are we gonna do for protection for Virginia City while you are making up your mind, Ben? Now, wait a minute, Armstead said that this was a council matter, and I don't believe you're a member of the council. No. But I'm one of the citizens that voted you in and I can be one of the citizens that vote you out. All right, let's calm down, gentlemen. We don't get anything accomplished by losing our tempers. Ben's right. So let's get down to just the facts. Ben, we are the four members of the city council. But in order to make a decision, we have to have a majority. Now, Carter and I both feel that Coffee should go. But we need your votes. Now, how long is it gonna take you to make your decision? I'm gonna need a little time to think about it. All right, so you need a little time to think about it. Well, will you at least agree to a temporary solution? Depends on what that solution is. Well, considering the crisis we have on our hands... What crisis? The Wagner gang, that's what crisis. Adam... I think Browning is speaking for the majority of the town. They're very much concerned, and we've got to do something about it. Now, since you won't give us your vote to oust Coffee, then we're asking you to come in temporarily as his assistant. At least until the four of us can reach an agreement. Assistant? Well, as his deputy. Armstead, Roy Coffee's been a friend of ours for a long time. An old friend. I can't just barge in there and tell him how to do his job. Then give us your vote to replace him. You can't have it both ways, Cartwright. If you're so afraid of hurting this old friend of yours, you ought to protect him against hurting the town. It's a good solution, Adam. The town will feel safer and give your father time to think it over. All right, I'll try it. Good man. Good man. Well, gentlemen, I think we needn't impose further on your hospitality. You've made me feel much better. You see, with this young wife of mine, - and the Wagner gang operating... - Do come on, Carter. Come on. Good night, Joe. Good night, gentlemen. I think you did the right thing, Adam. If there's gonna be trouble, Roy may really need some help. I sure don't look forward to telling him. Well, I know. But still, I can't help worrying about Roy handling somebody as... Well, as tough as the Wagner gang all by himself. Well, maybe Roy ought to get himself a good fast gun for a deputy. Well, that's Adam's job. Find out what Roy is really capable of handling these days. Who knows how tough that Wagner gang really is, anyhow? Hyah! MAN 2: Hyah! Hyah! Hyah! - Hello, Mr. Burrow. - Hi there. Well, here we are, son. I've got a lot of work to do now. So you run along home and I'll see you tomorrow. All right, sheriff. Well, howdy, Adam. To what do I owe the honor of this visit? Oh, I just thought I'd drop by for a while, Roy. Well, that's mighty nice of you. You couldn't have picked a worse day, though. Got lots of work to do. Just look at that desk. Paperwork. It's a lot of nonsense and a big waste of time, but that's the way it is now. I used to run this office with no paperwork at all. Now a man could just about drown himself in it. Would you believe that I spend more than half my time just reading and writing? It's enough to ruin a man's eyes. Now, somebody's been messing around with my desk. I left my glasses right here in plain sight. Thanks, Adam. Was there something that you wanted to see me about? Yeah. All right. I'll be with you in a minute. There was a letter that I should have answered here. Now, look at that. This joker was killed in Red Bank more than three months ago. Here it is now. Here's that letter. "Sheriff Coffee, Virginia City, we are holding Red Thomas..." Roy. I wanna talk to you. About what? Uh... About helping you. About helping me? Heh, heh, heh. Now, what kind of talk is that? Well, I thought I could do some work around here. You know, as sort of an assistant. I sure am much obliged, Adam, but I don't need no help. I had a couple of deputy sheriffs a time or two, but all they did was about get in my way. Well, I just thought, you know, on account of the wound, you know... Adam, I'm just sick and tired of hearing about that wound. It was just a little nick in the flesh. And these people seem to be more pained about it than I am. Yeah. Well, the thing is the... Well, the town council... Drat, the town council. What are they dithering about now? Wait a minute. You're a member of that town council, ain't you? Maybe this is your idea, huh? No, no, no. But I was outvoted, and so I had to go along with the idea. Just what was this idea? Well, they feel you need some help. They feel that I need some help. Adam, will you stop bothering me and go back to Ponderosa? Give your nice pa and them brothers of yours my regards, huh? Roy, I would consider it a personal favor if you would let me stay around. It's gonna be pretty embarrassing if I have to tell the town council - that you threw me out. - Heh, heh, heh. Seeing as how I let them swear me in. Let them swear you in? Yeah, as a... Sort of a deputy. Adam, you serious about this? That's a fine how do you do, ain't it? Look, maybe I could just help out with the paperwork or something, you know? All right, you can stay around if you're of mind to. Do some paperwork. But all I'm gonna ask is that you stay out of my way and don't bother me, huh? Now, I'll get back to this letter. What would you want me to do? I would like you to do nothing. I just want you to stay out of my way. You said you wanted to do some paperwork, and I said fine. There's papers there, papers here. There's papers there, there's papers everywhere! - Uh-oh. Excuse me. - Roy? You know, I didn't recognize this place. It kind of makes you feel as if I ought to wipe off my feet before I come inside. Thank you. You've sure done a job on straightening this place out. You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna recommend you to council for town housekeeper. Don't do me any favors. But it is. It's a lot more efficient than it was. There's a place for everything and everything in its place. Kind of reminds me of the way Mary used to run her kitchen. You never did know my wife, did you? No. Well, Adam, let me just say this. It's kind of rough when you build your whole life around something or somebody and lose it. After my wife died, I was really lost. Maybe if we had children it wouldn't have been so bad. But she was the only family I had, so that's why I had to go out and get myself another family. Another family? Yeah. The people of Virginia City, they've been my family for years now. It's my job to take care of them. Well, from what I hear, they're gonna need that care real soon. How do you mean that? Well, the whole town is talking about this Wagner gang that's supposed to show up in a few days. Don't you ever fret about that Wagner gang. I can take care of that scum, believe me. And I'm not gonna let them harm my town in no way. You can put that in your pipe and smoke it. Now, I've been telling you and telling you, trouble is coming. What we wanna know - is what are you doing about it? - Doing? We have got to do something about the Wagner gang. Now, there's going to be a showdown, and a bloody one. What do you plan to do about it? Well, the only thing I plan to do is to avoid a showdown, especially a bloody one. You call that doing your job? Yeah, that's what I call it. The only thing is, I believe you gentlemen are a little confused as to just what my job is. What are you talking about? My job is to protect the people of Virginia City, not to get them killed. Now, if you gentlemen will excuse me, I'll stretch my legs a little. Well, you need any more proof? Proof of what? That you've gotta vote Roy Coffee out of here and put in a man who knows what he's doing. I think Roy knows what he's doing. And we know what he's doing too. Nothing. I don't understand you, Adam. The biggest depositors in the Virginia City Bank are you Cartwrights. If the Wagner gang cleans out that bank, you stand to be the biggest losers. Well, if we're not worried, maybe you shouldn't be either. Excuse me. What in the world are you doing? We're just putting some bars on that window. Have you taken leave of your senses? Well, I don't think so. You expect the Wagner gang to just come crawling in through the window? Windows of a bank that nobody's making any effort to defend? What's to keep them from just walking right in through that front door? Well, nothing, I guess. Roy, for heaven's sake. And you, Adam Cartwright, helping with this nonsense. Oh, you just wait till I spread this piece of news around. Excuse me. Sure spends a lot of time getting mad, don't he? Yeah. Mad as a wet hen. He came by the office later and said that he and Carter and Browning were gonna come out here later on this evening. Well, we're always happy to extend our hospitality to members of the town council. Yeah, well, I think there's something I ought to tell you before they get here. What's that? Well, things are getting pretty tense in town. I may be headed for trouble. I don't know. But I've decided to stand with Roy, all the way. If I'm wrong, I may need your help. And I don't know whether I really have the right to ask for it because the only thing I've got backing me up is my feeling for Roy and just my faith in the man. And Roy hasn't come up with any plan about how he's gonna handle the Wagner gang if they do show up? I don't know. We spent the greater part of the afternoon putting bars on the bank window, so he must have some kind of a plan. Well, Roy's an old friend. We all have faith in him. What about the folks in town? Well, there's a lot of talk about the Wagner gang. They all feel sure that they're coming, and they have quite a few doubts about Roy. Browning's influence, huh? Oh, yeah, he's been talking a lot against Roy these past few days, that's for sure. There's always somebody who thinks a fast gun - is the only way to settle things. - Well, trouble is, people believe him. I've lived pretty close to Roy these past few days. And I believe in him. No matter how he wants to handle that Wagner gang. And you wanna know if we're in back of you? Well, I agree with you. And I think you'll find that the boys and I will be with you, if you need us. Thank you. That must be the duly-elected representatives. - Well... - Good evening, Ben. Adam. - Armstead. - Adam. Hi. BROWNING: Ben. Adam told me you were coming. - Well, sit down, gentlemen. - Thank you. Ben, we have got to have your decision on Roy Coffee right now. You mean Adam's decision and mine. No, yours. We know how Adam feels. I warn you, Ben, the town is in no mood for any more shilly-shallying. Well, Mr. Browning, maybe you could tell me what the town is in the mood for. Just this. That we get rid of Roy right now, fire him. Swear in anybody. Anybody who's man enough to do what has to be done, which is to strap on a gun, swear in the biggest posse he can raise and stand ready to shoot it out with the Wagner gang if one of them so much as sticks his nose into Virginia City. After all, we gotta protect our women. Ben, this is no reflection on your family. This is nothing personal. We're just here in the best interests of the community as council members. Well, as a member of that council, I think it's in the best interests of the community to retain the services of Roy Coffee as sheriff. What? Ben, don't you see? By withholding your vote on this, you are reducing the council to absolute helplessness. Well, I don't see how putting our trust in Roy Coffee reduces us to absolute helplessness. Maybe you think that the work of a sheriff should be done by a younger man. But as far as I'm concerned, a fast gun has never taken the place of experience. Or the wisdom that comes from that experience. Ben, I have said it before and I'll say it again. We voted you in and we can vote you out. Yes, you can vote us out. Come election time next spring. We do not have to wait till next spring to get protection for ourselves. Now, if the council won't do it, and if that has-been shell of a sheriff won't do it, we can do it ourselves. Ben, trouble is gonna come of this. And when it comes, it's gonna land right on your shoulders. Yours and Adam's. The town knows how Carter and I feel. Yeah, I guess we all know how you feel, Frank. - If any harm comes to my wife... - Oh, come on, Carter. I'm so sick and tired of hearing about your wife. Well, thanks for backing me up. I was backing up your faith in Roy Coffee. Yeah, and I know how dangerous that can be. I'd understand if you changed your mind. I won't change my mind. - Coffee. I've got some news. - Yeah? What is it? The Wagner gang was seen not 15 miles from here the day before yesterday. Well, Fred, what are you getting all bent out of shape for? If they're 15 miles away from here, they're certainly not in Virginia City, are they? Now, that is typical of your thinking. Well, how do you think I ought to think? Virginia City is on the way up. It's growing, it's attracting new business. What do you think is gonna happen when it gets known that business gets no protection from the law? Now, what are you talking about, business gets no protect...? What's going on here? You mean these? Yes, I mean those. Well, little Jerry Wilson was practicing and he locked me in the cuffs. And then he went down the street to get some candy. He must have took the key with him because I couldn't find it here anywhere. I never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. The sheriff of an important town sitting around handcuffed with a gang of bank robbers on our very doorstep. Son, be careful. What's he so mad about, Mr. Coffee? Oh, I think he's just a little nervous about that Wagner gang. Pooh. You could handle them with your hands tied. Well, now, maybe we hadn't better go that far, huh? - Unlock me, will you, son? - Sure. Thattaboy. Now, wait a minute. Now, it's no secret. We all know it. The Wagner gang is coming. And what is the council doing about it? Nothing. What is our so-called sheriff doing about it? Nothing. Now, since we obviously can't depend on the council or on the sheriff, I say let's organize to protect ourselves. Roy Coffee has been taking care of this town for years. For too many years. I say it's time someone younger, someone more capable, takes over. Now, we have got to do something. It's a matter of self-preservation. I say we stick with the law. So do I. MAN 2: The law? What law? There is no law against protecting our homes, our property. There is no law against acting like men. There is no law that says a man can't stand up for what's right and fight. Right. - Now, if you men... - Hey, Mr. Browning. May I say a word, please, sir? Go on home, grandpa. It's way past your bedtime. Go on home, old man. Let the sheriff talk. Let's see what old grandpa has to say. Let's find out why we should all be cowards. This could be very interesting. Thank you, sir. Friends, I don't wanna take much of your time. I just wanna say that I've been sheriff here for... Well, since before a lot of you were born. I've always given you my best. And, as far as I know, I never let you down. I never asked anything in return because all I was doing was my job. But now I am. I'm gonna ask you for something. I'm gonna ask you to let me handle this thing in my own way. Please, do this one thing for me. Let me handle it. - That's all you've got to say? - That's all. Well, I am buying drinks for the men in this town. I don't mean the cowards. I mean the men. Come on. Some people in this town are sure spoiling for a fight, huh? Yeah, there's some bad ones all right. What are you gonna do about them? Well, Adam, like I told you, they're part of the town, and the town's my family. Now, if you got some bad children in the family, they're still your children. You gotta protect them, even from themselves. You're late. - You run into any trouble? - No. I scouted Cold Creek. It's a pushover, Wagner. Then I went by Virginia City. Virginia City? Nobody told you to go there. I know. But it's got the biggest bank in the whole territory. And I don't see why we don't hit it instead of all this penny-ante stuff. The sheriff of Virginia City is a man named Roy Coffee. He's been around a long time, and that means he's been plenty smart. And tough. You saying you're afraid of him, Wagner? I ain't saying no such thing. Ain't a sheriff living I'm afraid of. Look, Wagner, I scouted that town today. And I saw your famous Roy Coffee. He's an old man. All right. Virginia City is next. But I'm telling you one thing. It ain't gonna be easy, old man... or no old man. Adam, will you please stop fooling around with them guns. You're making me nervous. Roy, I gotta talk to you. I'm busy. It's important. - Now, can't you see I'm busy? Later. - No, Roy. Now. All right. Enough is enough. Adam, now, I've been going along with this silly game of letting you play lawman just because the town council thinks I need a little help. But now you're really getting in my way. You're forgetting that I'm the sheriff here. Not for long. What? What do you mean by that? Roy, I was hoping I didn't have to tell you... but you're gonna be replaced. Replaced. You're pulling my leg. I wish I was. This is my job. Nobody's gonna take my job. Oh, yes, they are. Half the council has voted to let you go. - But they do can't. I'm a duly-elected... - Yes, they can, Roy. Just as soon as they vote me and Pa off the council, you go. After all these years? Roy, I know how you must feel. And it's not much thanks for all those years. Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought the council would change their mind. You know, Roy, you've spent most of your life protecting this family, as you call it. Like a lot of families, they don't appreciate what you've done. But aside from that... I think we ought to try and look at this thing from every angle. Now, I'm not saying you're not a good sheriff, but you know you shouldn't have gotten shot by that drunk. I don't think it could have happened five years ago. You know it's nothing to be ashamed of, but, man, we do get slower as we go along. Listen, Roy, it's no disgrace to need glasses, draw the gun a little slower. Adam, you don't understand either. None of you do. There's nobody in this whole town that understands my job. Now, if I didn't think that I could do a good job, I'd quit. Now, out of my way and let me get on with it. The Wagner gang is coming! The Wagner gang is coming! The Wagner gang is coming! The Wagner gang is coming! The Wagner gang, they're on their way. We've got a plan, let's go to it. All right, that's far enough. Roy said he doesn't want any shooting, so there's not gonna be any shooting. But the Wagner gang is on the way in. Well, let them come. This business is going to go just the way Roy wants it to go. You're gonna let them ride into town and take over? If that's what Roy wants. Now, we don't care what Roy wants. We're the town and... You're not the town. You're just a bunch of Browning's roughnecks. All right, drop your guns. You too. Now, go on back to your homes Where is everybody? This could be a trick. - What do you think he's up to? - I don't know. Let's find out. So you're the famous sheriff of Virginia City. You give up carrying your guns? That's right. There ain't gonna be no gunplay. Everybody run away? I ordered the town off the streets. So go ahead, do what you come to do and get on out. Nobody is gonna try and stop us? I don't wanna see nobody get hurt. You're smart. Money ain't worth getting hurt for. Yes, sir, when you get old, you get smart. - No money back here. - Huh? Open the vault. Where's the money? - It's not here. - I can see that. Where is it? I don't know. I don't know, I tell you. The sheriff took it all away. That's why nobody out there tried to stop us. All right, what did he do with the money? I don't know. He wouldn't even tell me. Well, he'll tell me. Let's get that old man, listen to him talk. Now, wait a minute. Just in case we run into trouble out there, let's take him with us. He'll make a nice hostage. All right, the windows. Getting in here was easy. How are we gonna get out? That old man. I'll kill him. By golly, Roy, you did it. - It worked. - Yep. And nobody got hurt neither. Let's get down. We don't wanna give them nothing to shoot at. Hold it. We're just wasting ammunition. Wagner! Now listen to this! You can keep shooting all day if you're of mind to. Or for a week or for a month. But you ain't getting out of there. And you can keep on looking out through them bars till you starve to death. Or if you prefer my jail, where you'll get fed, just throw out your guns. I guess that's it. All right, Wagner, come on. Come on, right over there. Over here. Well, that's that, huh? Is it? While you're here, why don't you tell Roy that he's being fired. This is as good a time as any. Aw, now, Ben, I... Roy, that was a great piece of work. I understand that you want this. I told him you were gonna get a better man for the job. Somebody with a faster gun. Well, I sure feel better. About my wife, I mean. Avoiding all that violence and bloodletting. I guess it takes more than a fast gun to be a sheriff. Yep. Takes a man. And it takes a man to admit his mistakes too, and we made one, a bad one. Roy. I was wrong, Roy. I'm sorry. It's all right, Browning. - Hi, Mr. Coffee. - Hello, Jerry. Will you play bank robbers with me? Sure, just as soon as I get my gun. - No. My mommy doesn't want me to play with guns anymore. I wanna be like you. I think maybe your mommy has got something. Come on, let's go for that walk, huh? Ain't he cute? - Hey, sheriff. - Hi. - Johnny, nice to see you. - Howdy, sheriff. Hey, sheriff. Hi. MAN 3: Hey.
