Batman Saloon Gal 11 (Patreon)

(Batman approaches the showdown but has been doomed by second thoughts)

To Himself: I can't do this. I made a promise. Robbin' banks is one thing, but killin' folk, that's just doggone anotha.' Ma and pa I'm sorry. But I'll see ya' soon praise the Lord. Tha' only life needs takin' in this is mine. I'm sorry Betsy. Ya made me proud ta' be a southern gal. Johnny, y'made me know what love is. I love you."

Mad Tom: "Well there, my man said you'd be wearing your best. Didn't tell me you'd barely be wearing anything at all."

Batman: "Jus' tryin' ta' start this date off right. Mad Tom is a little misleadin.'"

Mad Tom: "Well, so is Batman don't you think?"

Batman: "How on...what in'tha worl...how did you know?"

Mad Tom: "I ran with Jimmy for a long time. Knew what that Betsy is capable of. Knew of their plan. And it's why I know I'll win."

Batman: "Well hun, if ya' know I'm tha Batman, then ya'know I don't lose."

(Batman and Mad Tom get in their stances and are ready to draw. There is complete silence as onlookers don't dare come out of their houses, gambling halls or saloons).

Batman (to himself): Jus' get it ova'with already. Do it!

Mad Tom: "You don't have the guts do you? You won't shoot me. The one thing Batman can't do." 

Batman (to himself): Fuck you and do it! 

Mad Tom: "Guess no harm in telling you then that I didn't just run with Johnny. Johnny and I were lovers..."

Batman (to himself): NO! NO! Shut up! Shut up! Pull the trigger! You..you...

Mad Tom: "And I loved him..."

Batman (to himself): You bitch! SHUT UP!

Mad Tom: "And he loves me..."

Batman: "NOOOOOOO!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!" (Batman pulls out his gun and begins shooting several times. All direct hits."
