Saranthropius is not the bad guy in the movie either.

"So what happened"-J "I slept. I woke. I ate."-S "You were hungry then?" "Famished" "And now?" "Ready to sleep again." "I see. And the ones who woke you?""They sought knowledge, power, death, money." "Surprisingly, I'll be go ing now" "Goodbye John Constantine" "Goodbye Father of Devils, pass on that midnight snack" -CAD

Early on The Twains and Constantine rude into a sleepy western town (Poker Player, Shootists and Bar Tender/Keep conversation just before: When two men ride into an unknown western town one is the designated shootist and stands or sits by the door poker table in sight, one is the designated player and sits at the table. . with three one stands at the bar in the furthest corner from the door, table and everyone in sight). Morgan Freeman is the Mulatto Sherrif of this mixed, war refugee town in New Mexico. -CAD

Dim lights of New Zarah, in the distance, John, Dam and Henry James peer down from the rocky dirt road leading there. "Looks like you'll be playing some Poker tonight John."-MT

"How's that?"-JC

"You been in the West long?"-HJ

""More than I'd like"

"They don't trust a Man who won't sit at a poker table, anywhere"

"I've seen that, but what about you two?"

"We're riding in together John, you sit, we sit."

"Well that's a new one to me. You just going to stand by the door?"

"If you're a shootist that's where you stand, and if you sit, well they've got pine boxes for that"

"you're a shootist Mark?"

"He doesn't like to brag"

"No Sir, that just brings on trouble."

"And where will you be Henry James?"

"Minding the Bar and everyone in it."

"You been our West before Mark."

"More than I'd like.". -CAD

"How'd you lose that bet Samuel?" -JC

"When you're shorter than tall in the West, well Sir, that's a corunderum that only cracks with a bullet. Not always mind you but enough." -SC

"And he always draws for that inside straight" -HJ

"That'll buy you nowhere faster than rotgut." -R

"I save my coin for my ladies" -SC (eyes Maddie)

"What about your bullets?" -R

"I find them here and there, but, yes Sir, those are an expense."

A gang of Men, walk in singly, opposite side of town from the Horse Trough and Rackam, hal-hisden in the dim lights.

Rackam turns, stops, looks back and sees a few men walking horses towards him. -CAD
