Epilogue – based on the teleplay “Gun Duel,” a by Albert Aley and story by John C. Champion
(MORT CORY and JESS HARPER come out of the Laramie sheriff’s office and go over to the bulletin board. Mort takes down a wanted poster.)
JESS HARPER: Well, I guess that about clears it up, Mort. Outside of our new boarders, there wasn’t too much trouble.
MORT CORY: They gave you enough for one weekend. Sure hope the sheriff in Casper picks them up real soon. I’d rather had the parson for company.
JESS HARPER: (Fishes in his vest pocket and pulls out a deputy’s badge) Oh, ah, Johnny asked me to give you this. (Hands MORT CORY the deputy badge.) Ah, he said he doesn’t feel the job suited him.
MORT CORY: Just as well. There wasn’t any job for him in Cedar Bend anyway.
JESS HARPER: To tell ya the truth, Mort. I think he’ll be lookin’ for different employment.
(Suddenly, a fight erupts through the doors of the saloon. THREE MEN and the PARSON tumble out into the street. The PARSON decks the first man. The SECOND MAN grabs the PARSON from behind.)
PARSON: You-You Philestine. Thou shalt repent.
(THE THIRD MAN goes to hit the PARSON, who kicks him instead, while tossing the SECOND MAN over his shoulder.)
MORT CORY: Aw, no! Not again.
JESS HARPER: (Claps MORT CORY on the back) Glad to have ya back, Mort, (Walks away, quickly)
