CLAMP! Lady Penelope and Parker have been locked behind their previous cell again. Pete the Jailer slams the cell entrance and begins to lock it as the Judge, the Kid, and Clanton aim their guns at the strangers to Harmony and Tucker, who is in the cell that Rigby was in. His cell is not locked, but guns are aimed at him. Some other people watch from the entrance into the jailhouse, such as the saddened Kathy, Ringo, and a few other gunmen and bandits.
Penelope:
Oh dear Parker, here we go again. Is your leg better now, Parker?
Parker:
It is now, m'lady.
Judge:
It will be a good thing so, stranger. You can just rest it nice and good in your cell because this time you sure aren't getting out. The Kid here is gonna keep watch alongside Pete. He'll make sure that nobody escapes for sure. The Kid watches like a hawk.
Pete:
They tricked me, Mister. They made me fall asleep, and somehow picked open that entrance.
Clanton:
Good thing this time that we emptied out their pockets. Now none of them can get out.
Ringo:
To be honest Clanton, the boys don't understand what on earth those things are from the strangers. But we can keep them at bay in here anyway.
Tucker:
What about our horses?
Clanton:
We'll keep good care of them. They'll be fed, hydrated, and exercised for sure, Tucker. You rest assure.
Penelope:
Oh do make sure. They have been with the family for a very long time. Horse-riding is something I could never get enough of.
Tucker:
And how long are we gonna be kept in here for?
Judge:
Well, that will be me to decide. After you and the strangers tried to escape, it seems as though we're gonna keep you in here as long as Harmony wants.
Tucker:
What's that supposed to mean?
Penelope:
I doubt that we are going to be let out for some time I imagine.
Judge:
Couldn't have put it better myself, mam. But I think myself and the boys have done a good enough job today. We don't wanna waste any more time on you kids. We'll be hitting the bar, all except for you two.
Pete:
Oh. Well, have a good time.
Clanton:
Sorry you can't come with us, Pete. But you don't wanna let these folks escape again.
They begin to leave, and Tucker, now locked in his cell, hangs onto the bars desperately.
Tucker:
Don't you stupid fools realise that there are whole worlds of people outside Harmony? You think this is the last of mankind out here?
Judge:
I think we earnt out little drink you know. Rex, if you don't shut up I'm gonna have to ask the Kid to kill all three of you. Now keep quiet and don't make any racket! And it's no good thinking your other friend will come back to save you. If we find him he's a dead man. That's if he doesn't die out in the wilderness first.
Tucker:
No! NO! Listen to me!
All except for the Kid, Pete, and Kathy. Pete sits back at the desk, and the Kid leans against the wall. Both of them aim at them, and Kathy looks sad with her back turned and head facing the prisoners.
Kathy! Kathy, please! Kathy!
She felt terrible shame and other terrible emotions. Quietly and solemnly, she left them. The jailhouse door closed. The Kid stares coldly at them like he was a statue.
Kathy!
Penelope:
It's no good Rex. They won't listen to us.
Parker:
Beg your pardon m'lady, but you don't suppose Mr Rigby is cracking up some scheme to get us out of here, or to help aid our little... assignment?
Penelope:
That Parker I'd give a lot to know...
