Epilogue – based on the script “License to Kill” by Don Mullally & Lee Erwin

 

(The BURRO stands by the Sherman Ranch Stage Stop sign. Inside the ranchhouse, SLIM SHERMAN and JESS HARPER are eating. BEN comes out of the kitchen.)

 

BEN: You know what I forgot to tell you the day you come home?

 

SLIM SHERMAN: You’re getting’ married.

 

BEN: Oh, no. Nothin’ like that.

 

JESS HARPER: You learned how to cook.

 

BEN: Yep… No. It’s about that silver dollar that Sam Jarrod gi’ me for his food the day he took Jess off.

 

SLIM SHERMAN: What about it it?

 

BEN: It isn’t silver at all. It’s lead. Now how do you figure a lawman would do a thing like that?

 

(JESS HARPER and SLIM SHERMAN laugh.)
