Laurie Frank: Naomi Heal (segment "Comes a Searcher")

Quotes 

• Host : [narrating]  Meet Naomi Hill, a hard-working big city gal who saved up all her money so she could buy a ghost town and make her dreams of the gritty Old West come true.

  Naomi Heal : Easy, girl, easy. What's wrong, Buttercup?

  [a masked man, clad in black, bursts into Naomi's barn] 

  Cash McClean : I am El Morte Leather Gringo. This is your final warning! You have 24 hours to leave Gower Gulch or I will tie you in the sun with rawhide strips and let the ants eat your body from the bones!

  [the masked man picks up a lantern and hurls it onto a bale of hay, setting it on fire] 

  Host : [narrating]  The unfortunate thing about dreams is they can sometimes turn into nightmares.

• Naomi Heal : Oh, please, please - isn't there someone who can help me?

  The Searcher : [narrating]  Someone needs help so they call me. That's what I do - I help people in trouble. They call me, "The Searcher".

• Naomi Heal : Last night I was brushing Buttercup when this masked horseman came. He called himself El Morte Leather Gringo.

  The Searcher : Of course - the legend of El Morte Leather Gringo. He was a lot like Zorro... and a little like Tyrone Power.

  Naomi Heal : Well, that *legend* almost burned down my stable last night.

  The Searcher : Just calm down, Naomi Hill. El Morte Leather Gringo died over a hundred years ago. Someone very much alive is trying to scare you out of this town.

• Naomi Heal : Are you all right?

  The Searcher : I'm fine and Cash McLane will be fine, too, after some intensive therapy at the Tucson Arizona Home for Old Wacko Cowboys.
