:18:03
So now I just wander around
and sleep wherever I am.
:18:11
I used to tell myself
that I was looking out for things
:18:14
so that when the folks come back,
everything would be all right.
:18:19
But I knowed it wasn't true.
:18:22
There ain't nothin' to look out for.
:18:25
And there ain't nobody ever coming back.
:18:28
They're gone!
:18:31
And me...
:18:34
I'm just an old graveyard ghost.
:18:39
That's all in the world I am.
:18:44
Do you think I'm touched?
:18:51
No.
:18:53
You're Ionely, but...
:18:56
you ain't touched.
:18:59
Well, it don't matter. If I'm touched,
I'm touched and that's all there is to it.
:19:03
The thing I don't understand
is my folks taking it. Like Ma.
:19:08
I seen her nearly beat
a pedlar to death with a live chicken.
:19:11
She aimed to go with an axe in the other
hand, got mixed up, forgot which was which.
:19:16
When she got through with that pedlar,
all she had left was two chicken legs.
:19:21
Just a...
:19:23
Just a plain old graveyard ghost.
:19:27
That's all.
:19:43
She's settling.
:19:49
What do you figure on doing?
:19:52
It's hard to say.
:19:54
Stay here till morning,
go to Uncle John's, I reckon.
:19:58
After that, I don't know.
