:56:02
howdy, mr. Tomkins.
:56:03
Look here.
Stand where you are.
:56:05
Don't you come
any closer.
:56:06
Mr. Tomkins,
i just wanted-
:56:08
come closer,
and i'll hit you.
:56:09
No need of getting riled,
mr. Tomkins.
:56:11
I ain't a-looking
for no trouble with you.
:56:13
What you doing
around here?
:56:15
Well, i wanted
to talk to you about-
:56:17
what about?
:56:18
About abraham.
:56:19
That mule's
legally mine.
:56:20
You ain't got
no claim on him.
:56:22
I ain't denying
he's yours.
:56:24
Stay where you are
:56:25
if you don't want
to be laid out in two pieces!
:56:28
I was a-figuring
on buying abraham back.
:56:31
Buying him back?
:56:32
Yes, sir. My mule's
kind of poorly,
:56:35
and something done
happened to him,
:56:37
and i sure
need a mule.
:56:39
Are you meaning it?
:56:41
Yes, sir.
:56:42
No hard feelings?
:56:44
Well, shucks,
no, mr. Tomkins.
:56:46
Well, i'll be damned.
:56:48
And-and there's
one more thing.
:56:51
I'm asking
your forgiveness
:56:52
for a-flaring up at you
the way i done.
:56:56
It were satan
a-speaking out of me.
:56:59
Hmm.
:57:01
Zeke was
a-telling me,
:57:02
but i couldn't
believe it.
:57:05
About what?
:57:05
That you
got religion.
:57:07
Well, that's a fact,
mr. Tomkins.
:57:08
Well,
i'll be damned.
:57:10
I sure would
like to be
:57:12
a-buying that there
mule back.
:57:14
You would?
:57:14
Yeah. How much would
you be asking for him?
:57:17
Let's see.
:57:18
You said he was
worth $40,
:57:20
and i allowed you
$30.
:57:21
That's right.
:57:21
Well, you can
have him back for $20.
:57:26
Oh, mr. Tomkins,
:57:27
abraham's worth
a sight more than that.
:57:29
Maybe he ibut seeing as how
:57:31
i'm trying to do
the fair and square thing, alvin,
:57:35
$20.
:57:35
I reckon i know
what you're thinking.
:57:38
It's more blessed to give
than to receive.
:57:41
Maybe. Come on.
Get your mule.
:57:42
And another thing,
i'm going to give you back
:57:45
the clock
you sold me.
:57:47
It don't run,
nohow.
