(Governor's Island near the fort. Large cannons are seen on the parapet, which skirts U.S., with two mounds of cannon balls beside them. The skyline of New York City is seen in the distance. The ENTIRE COMPANY has assembled and BUFFALO BILL is about to start the match.)

BUFFALO BILL

Friends, this contest will be straight shooting using clay targets. The best out of a hundred shots, five shots at a time.

FRANK

(Testily)

That's fine. Let's get started.

(Crossing D.L.)

I got a date in town. I just got half an hour to beat her!

ANNIE

(Properly burned.)

Beat me, ye big swollen-headed stiff?

(Crossing S.R.)

You wouldn't wanna make a bet on that, would ye?

FRANK

Any time.

ANNIE

Ye got it - five hundred to one! Little Jake, lemme have that thar sack with my medals in it.

(LITTLE JAKE takes satchel containing medals to ANNIE.)

CHARLIE

(Realizing what she is about to do.)

Annie!

ANNIE

(Taking the satchel from LITTLE JAKE.)

I betcha all these medals up agin them three little tin badges!

FRANK

You're on!

CHARLIE

(In a panic.)

Annie, you can't bet away a hundred thousand dollars worth of stuff. That's all the bankroll we got!

ANNIE

What's the matter? Think I'm gonna lose?

CHARLIE

Yes... I mean no... I mean...

(SITTING BULL pulls him back.)

FRANK

(Giving his metals to LITTLE JAKE.)

Little Jake, you can hold the stakes. Now, little lady, if you'll step up to this cannon, I'll give you a lesson in marksmanship.

ANNIE

You couldn't give me a lesson in long distance spittin'.
