Dillon and Traych in “Unfinished Business”

DDillon

Just noticed that antelope carcass hanging there in that barn. Looks like a good fat one.

TTraych

I just shot it early this morning, down in the bottoms. I've been fixing to cut it up.

DDillon

[skeptically] YOU shot it, huh, Traych?

TTraych

Sure I did.

DDillon

With a bow and arrow? That's not a rifle wound.

TTraych

I don't know what you mean, Marshal.

DDillon

So YOU'RE the one who hurt that boy.

TTraych

It was a mistake, Marshal. One anybody might make. I seen him riding through the bottoms this morning with that carcass on his horse. Firstly, I thought it was one of my calves. So I roped him off, and the horse ran on, and...

DDillon

You took a knife to him.

TTraych

I figured it might teach all them thieving Injuns a lesson. I didn't find out 'till later it was a antelope he had.

DDillon

Traych, you are the rottenest man I ever ran into.

TTraych

Ah, let's be reasonable, Marshal. There ain't no harm done. He's just a Injun brat, worthless, sneaky--

DDillon

You're under arrest, Traych.

TTraych

I reckon I ain't gonna go along with you on that, Marshal. Not while I got a rifle in my hand. Maybe you just better come to your senses.

DDillon

I said, you're under arrest.

TTraych

You're talking mighty brave for a man with a gun on him.

DDillon

Don't do it. You haven't got a chance.

TTraych

I can try.
