Epilogue – based on the script by Donald S. Sanford

(Sunrise in the Sherman ranch yard. LORENA VIKTOR’s children are getting into a buckboard. DAISY, SLIM, JESS, EMIL VIKTOR and LORENA VIKTOR are by the buckboard.)

LORENA VIKTOR: Thank you for being so good to us.

DAISY:You’re more than welcome We’re sorry you’re leaving, but I can imagine that you are eager to be on your own again.

EMIL VIKTOR: I can’t tell you how good it is to be free, to go where you want to go.

JESS: Now that the charges against you are dismissed, I can’t figure why you want to go to Canada, Emil.

EMIL VIKTOR: Big country. Not unlike my homeland. and, ah, we will miss our good friends here, but it would be so good to start over again.

JESS: Well, I can’t blame you for that and I wish you a lot of luck.

EMIL VIKTOR: I, ah, I would not soon forget what you and Slim have done for us.

SLIM: You did a couple of things for us we won’t forget. And the folks that live in that town in Colorado they used to call Madox…

LORENA VIKTOR: Used to.. have they changed the name?

JESS: Well not officially, but since the government uncovered so much about the Madox family and Emil’s fake trial they are thinking about calling the town Viktorville.

EMIL VIKTOR: Oh! (Laughs)

ALL: (Laugh)

JESS: So long.

ALL: Bye!

(EMIL VIKTOR drives off midst waving by ALL.)
