Epilogue – based on “The Violent Ones,” a teleplay by Paul Savage and story by Dan Ullman
(SLIM SHERMAN is sitting in a chair on the porch of the Sherman ranch house, shelling peas.)
JESS HARPER: Well, now, mighty domestic.
SLIM SHERMAN: Get along just fine without your wisecracks.
JESS HARPER: If you’re not careful somebody’s going to up and marry you.
DAISY COOPER: (Opens ranch house door) Slim,would you hang… (Sees JESS HARPER) Oh, Jess, you’re just in time. Will you hang these up for me?
JESS HARPER: Oh, Daisy, I got…
DAISY COOPER: If you want any dinner, you’ll have to help. I’ve been housecleaning. Way behind today.
SLIM SHERMAN: (Laughs) You were saying.
JESS HARPER: (Throws a peapod at Slim)Very funny. (Takes wash and walks off into the ranch yard.)
(SLIM SHERMAN throws a peapod at JESS HARPER. MIKE WILLIAMS and TOMMY BARTLETT come around the corner of the ranch house.)
MIKE WILLIAMS: … and he got Benson and all of them. All by himself, with a little help from Mr. Blayne. You said he was a sissy cat, you’ll see. Slim, where’s Jess?
SLIM SHERMAN: Right over there.
(MIKE WILLIAMS and his friend walk in the direction at which SLIM SHERMAN points. SLIM SHERMAN jumps up to follow them. JESS HARPER is hanging long underwear on the clothesline.)
MIKE WILLIAMS: Jess, this here’s Tommy Bartlett. Will you show him how ya…
(DAISY COOPER opens the kitchen door. JESS HARPER turns with clothes pins in his mouth. He ducks between the long underwear so that he is hidden from MIKE WILLIAMS, TOMMY BARTLETT, DAISY COOPER, and SLIM SHERMAN and continues to hang up the clothes. The boys look at each other with disgust. SLIM SHERMAN and DAISY COOPER laugh. MIKE WILLIAMS smiles. JESS HARPER glowers.)
