TRECHO THE WILD BUNCH

by Sam Peckinpah

Unchanged men in a changing land. Out of step, out  of  place  and
desperately  out  of  time...  Suddenly  a  new  West had emerged.
Suddenly it was sundown for nine men. Suddenly their day was over.
Suddenly, the sky was bathed in blood.


Bank Robbery

(The wild bunch in military uniforms  rides  into  the  town  (San
Rafael (name on a house), Starbuck).

Children, including girls, throwing scorpions into an anthill.

An assembly of the temperance union.

Bounty hunters (Thornton) are lurking on the roof of a house).

Pastor:

(during  the speach members of the wild bunch are riding into town
in army uniforms, others, also in army uniforms are waiting in the
town. The scene is often interrupted by credits)

"Do not drink wine nor strong drink

thou not thy sons with thee

lest ye shall die."

(Leviticus 10.9, unfair quote:  "Do  not  drink  wine  nor  strong
drink,  ...  when  ye  go  into the tabernacle of the congregation
...")

"Look not thou upon the wine when it is read

and when it brings his color in the cup, when moves itself aright

at the last it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder."

(Proverbs 23.31ff)

Now folks ...

that's from the Good Book

but in this town it's five cent a glass.

Five cents a glass.

Does anyone really think that is the price of a drink?

The price of a drink? Let him decide who has lost his courage  and
pride who lies a groveling heap of clay not far removed...

'Soldier': All's quiet, sir

PIKE: Let's fall in.

(We investigate with Pike's eyes the town)

Follow me.

(Running into an old woman)

I beg your pardon, Madam.

Madam: I'm so sorry.

DUTCH: (smiling) Allow me Madam.

Madam: Thank you.

PIKE: (offers her his arm) May I.

Madam: Thank you.



(Cut to the Bounty hunters on the roof of a building):

Harrigan: Thornton, wake up. Soldiers. Take a look



(Inside the bank office):

Old employee: I don't care what you meant to do, it's what you did
I don't like.

You inconvenienced this lady, and made a fool of yourself and this
railroad.

Now I want you to apologize to this ...

(wild bunch entering the bank office)

Yes, can I help you?

PIKE: If they move kill them.
