[ Little Bill is telling Beauchamp the real story of English Bob's gunfight ]
Little Bill Daggett : You see, the night that Corky walked into the Blue Bottle, and before he knows what's happening, Bob here takes a shot at him! And he misses, 'cause he's so damn drunk. Now that bullet whizzing by panicked old Corky, and he did the wrong thing. He went for his gun in such a hurry that he shot his own damn toe off. Meantime Bob here, he's aiming real good, and he squeezes off another, but he misses, because he's still so damn drunk, and he hits this thousand-dollar mirror up over the bar. And now, the Duck of Death is as good as dead. Because Corky does it right. He aims real careful, no hurry, and... BAM! That Walker Colt blew up in his hand, which was a failing common to that model. You see, if old Corky had had two guns instead of just a big dick, he'd would have been there right to the end to defend himself.
W.W. Beauchamp : Wait a minute. You mean that, English Bob killed him when he didn't even have...?
Little Bill Daggett : Well, old Bob wasn't goin' to wait for Corky to grow a new hand.
