Epilogue – based on “The Jailbreakers,” a teleplay by Albert Aley and story by John C. Champion
(SLIM SHERMAN walks LILA STEVENS to the stagecoach in the Sherman ranch yard and helps her inside.)
LILA STEVENS: Bye, Slim. Thank you.
SLIM SHERMAN: Everything will work out, Lila.You go back to Cheyenne and try to forget.
LILA STEVENS: Trying is one thing, Slim. Forgetting is something else.
SLIM SHERMAN: Did you see Gil before you left Laramie?
LILA STEVENS: Yes I did. He, ah, he said he’d come see me as soon as he could travel.
SLIM SHERMAN: Ah, that’s fine.
LILA STEVENS: He’s still in love with Gina.
SLIM SHERMAN: A man can love a memory for just so long, Lila. Then he’ll be looking for somethin’ to love back. You be patient.
STAGECOACH DRIVER: We’re ready to roll, Slim.
SLIM SHERMAN: Alright, take it away.
(Stagecoach leaves as SLIM SHERMAN and LILA STEVENS wave goodbye.)
