The "Duck of Death" comes from "Unforgiven"
CLOSE ON A BOOK
The lurid cover, "The Duke of Death" by W. W. Beauchamp.
Little Bill is looking at the cover, his feet propped on his
desk in the county office. It is night and the office is
lit with an oil lamp.
LITTLE BILL
(referring to the book)
Them boys look like real hard
cases. Did you kill all seven of
'em dead, Bob... or did you just
wing some of 'em?
English Bob is lying on his back on a cot in the little cell
a few feet away. He turns his head toward Little Bill and
his swollen face is horrible to behold. Of course, he
doesn't answer except with the nasty eye.
LITTLE BILL
That is you there, ain't it, Bob?
The Duck of Death?
WW
(daring)
Uh... Duke.
WW is in the little cell next to English Bob's.
LITTLE BILL
Oh yeah... Duke. Well, Bob, you
always was hell an' Jesus with a
pistol... but seven of 'em, an'
you protectin' the lady too...
How'd you do it?
