The cowboy wishes he could fight the Swede, but Scully concedes that the Swede won the fight against Johnnie fairly. As he leaves, the Swede wishes to pay Scully for his services. Again, Scully declines his offer. In a last parting shot, the Swede mimes the cowboy’s shouts of “kill him” from the fight. However, the remaining men are morose and unresponsive. Only when the Swede is in fact gone do Scully and the cowboy commiserate over what they would have done to the Swede, given the chance.
The Swede takes his belongings to another bar in town. Only five other men are there: the bartender and four men sitting at the same table. The Swede orders a drink, and when the bartender remarks upon the bad weather, the Swede answers that it suits him. He is eager to brag about his recent victory. Though this piques everyone’s interest, they decline his offer for a drink.
