Reeves hears Dillard MOAN and FALL. He stands, guarded but checks himself for a gunshot. He checks his stomach but there is no bullet. He looks for his holster and guns and finds them on the ground close by. He picks them up, inspects them and finds that the buckle has been hit causing it to fall from his waist. Cliff comes riding up as Reeves has made his way to view Dillard. They both see that Dillard is dead.
CLIFF
Bass, you alright?
Reeves still a bit stunned. He holds up his holster.
REEVES
He shot my damn gun belt off me!
CLIFF
(amazed)
What? That just ain't possible. (beat) Of all the luck.
REEVES
Luck hell. It's them angels that still watch over me like my mama says.
Cliff nods, smiles big. Reeves smiling back big at Cliff.
REEVES
I might just take a liken' to law. It's kind of fun.
Cliff circles his face with his finger pointing out to Reeves that his face is covered with mud. Reeves still with a big smile, wipes his face with his hand. They LAUGH.
