Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist Script This script was based on the text version of the game. This version has a massive amount of inventory, 40 pages in this script; the first few inventory lines were one of the first sections I did, but when I reached the end of the process I found the many script files for other inventory items. I tried copying double messages and identified lines as much as I could, but there are still a few mystery objects you can puzzle along with.

Oh, the tough kid's name was Kenny, And he outdrew Freddy Pharkas when he Shot Freddy's ear off, to prove who was the best. Now our hero, Freddy Pharkas, With his wounded pride and earless carcass, Vowed to the heavens to give up gunnery.

You daren't touch the horse until you have some way to protect yourself from the stench. You've got better (and more polite) uses in mind for those boots!

They'd probably stay in place for a minute or two, then |c0|BANG!|c| You'd blow out windows all up and down Main Street. You'd have to shoot it. (The Church Key, not the horse.) You're gonna |c0|need|c| that claim check sooner or later, and if you put it there, you're not gonna want it anymore. They're not rags, you know, they're your old official Cowboy duds! You carefully pour the Deflatulizer into the horse's water trough. The horses greedily lap up the delish and nutrish medicated water. WILLY Seein' as how his home-brewed "Patootie Sealant" done the trick on the horses so well, Freddy ran 'round and dumped the stuff into all the troughs in town. It warn't long 'afore the folks o' Coarsegold wuz all breathin' a sigh of relief! Freddy tossed away his homemade gas mask, kind of a shame since he'd have made a pretty penny off'n the patent rights.
