William: What about Alex?
Pat: He's gonna die. Tomorrow. He and his wife at his house. Murphy knows he's coming back to Lincoln tomorrow. They're gonna wait till he's home and go pay a visit.
William: What time are they expecting him?
Pat: Supper time. I figure you were the only fellow with the pluck to get up some McSween partisans and go give the man and his wife a rightful escort across the border.
