Town's Despair and Shared Responsibility
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!

So did I.
Jake:
I tell you what: I'll even go to Australia with you, if we leave right now!

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'.
