Prudi Perkins:
Well, you might as well forget gettin any help outta this town! Or from any town, from about a hundred miles around!
Jason McCullough:
Well, that covers just about everyone, doesn't it?
Prudi Perkins: [Jake enters]
They can throw an unarmed girl out of a courtroom, but they can't even defend their own town against a bunch of cutthroats like the Danbys! Well, what are we gonna do now?
Jason McCullough:
We?
Jake:
Don't turn down any help you can get.
Jason McCullough:
How's Joe?
Jake:
Oh, he figures he's gonna be out by tomorrow, and we're all gonna be dead.
Jason McCullough:
Did he seem to feel any... sorrow, over the fact that we might all be killed?
Jake:
No, it's more like he planned to dance and spit, all over our graves.
Jason McCullough:
Sounds like Joe.
Jake:
That- that sure was a good idea you had about leavin town.
Jason McCullough:
Well, you don't have to stay.
Jake: [firmly]
Oh, yes I do. I have to stay if you do, because I took the job!
Jason McCullough: [smiles]
So did I.
Jake:
I tell you what: I'll even go to Australia with you, if we leave right now!
Jason McCullough:
Oh, we'll get to Australia all right, but right now there's some things for us to take care of. Prudi, you really want to help?
Prudi Perkins:
Sure!
Jason McCullough: [leaves]
Well, then: I've got a couple of ideas, and if they work, we might just live through this!
Jake:
...I sure did like his idea about leavin'.
