The pistolero sneered, spat a nasty stream of black tobacco juice at the feet of the tall fair-haired kid and repeated, "Cabron, I tolds you not to come on back 'roun heres no any more. My daughter, shes not like you so I goings to shoot you next time."

The kid smiled and said, "That's too bad. amigo, cuz I love that little gal of your,n, and I aim to make her my wife."

The Mexican bandit stared at the kid for a moment, then, as fast as a striking rattler, grabbed at his six shooters. The kid allowed the pistolero's hands to get as far as touching the grips of the ornately carved handles of the man's pistols but, before the barrels cleared leather, drew and shot the hombre right between the eyes. The pistolero's eyes crossed and he fell backwards, landing with a splash in the water trough behind him.

The kid stared at the body in the trough for a moment and, as he turned away, said, "You needed a bath, amigo. Too bad you had to mess up that nice water trough, though, it's gonnal be tough to clean the smell out of it. . . ."

English is a funny language. Above, you'll find three words (trough, though, and tough) with -ough in the spelling, and all pronounced three different ways: -off, or regionally, -oth; -oh; and -uff. Pretty cool. There are others, like "sough", pronounced with an "-oo" sound, but you get the idea. I hope that I haven't been overly pedantic in answering the question.
