:07:03
And that's all any man's got a right to say.
:07:06
Of course, I'll say a grace
if somebody sets out the food.

:07:11
But my heart ain't in it.
:07:14
- Nice drinkin' liquor.
- Ought to be. It's factory liquor. Cost a buck.

:07:20
- You been out travelling around?
- Ain't you heard? It's been in the papers.

:07:24
- No, I never. What?
- I've been in the penitentiary for four years.

:07:28
Excuse me for asking.
:07:33
I don't mind no more.
I'd do what I done again.

:07:37
Killed a guy in a dance hall.
:07:41
We was drunk. He got a knife in me
and I laid him out with a shovel.

:07:45
- Knocked his head plumb to squash.
- You ain't ashamed?

:07:49
No. He had a knife in me.
That's why they only gave me seven years.

:07:53
I got out in four. Parole.
:07:55
- Ain't seen your folks since?
- No, but I aim to before sundown.

:07:59
And I'm gettin' excited about it too.
:08:01
- Which way are you goin'?
- Oh, it don't matter.

:08:04
Ever since I lost the spirit, looks like
I'd just as soon go one way as the other.

:08:08
I'll go your way.
:08:13
Maybe Ma will have pork for supper.
:08:15
I ain't had pork but four times in four years.
Every Christmas.

:08:20
I'll be glad to see your pa.
:08:23
Last time I seen him was at a baptising.
:08:26
He had one of the biggest doses
of the holy spirit I ever seen.

:08:30
Got to jumping over bushes.
Howlin' like a dog-wolf at moon-time.

:08:35
Finally, he picks himself out
a bush big as a piano

:08:39
and he lets out a squawk
and takes a run at that bush.

:08:43
(howls)
:08:55
Well, he cleared her.
:08:57
But he bust his leg snap in two doing it.
