Later that night\u2026<\/p>\n

Eddie and Arnold have hogtied Rico, and are hauling their heifer back home.<\/em><\/p>\n

EDDIE<\/em><\/p>\n

Ah, so\u00a0that’s<\/strong> how you do it.<\/p>\n

STEER<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t\u00a0I<\/strong> get any sleep?<\/p>\n

ARNOLD (to Rico)<\/em><\/p>\n

Now you jest stay put ’til the sheriff comes tomorrow.<\/p>\n

On the way back home, Arnold recognized a few more of the Morgan brothers’ cattle on Rico’s land.<\/p>\n

Rico’s ranch hands ran out to stop them.<\/p>\n

Cowboys run out, firing their pistols and rifles.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rico, still hogtied<\/em><\/p>\n

RICO<\/em><\/p>\n

Whoa, boys!<\/strong><\/p>\n
