You be careful and don't run over
Mrs. Truett's lawn. It's just been planted.

:47:19
We won't.
She's nice.

:47:21
But wait'll you see what we do
to Mr. Braukoff.

:47:24
- That'll be a caution, won't it, Tootie?
- We'll fix him fine.

:47:27
It'll serve him right for poisoning cats.
:47:30
Does he poison cats?
:47:32
He buys meat, and then he buys poison,
and then he puts them all together.

:47:37
Then he burns the cats at midnight
in his furnace. You can smell the smoke.

:47:41
That's horrible.
Are you sure?

:47:44
Johnny Tevis smelled smoke
and peeked in the window...

:47:47
...and there was a box of dead cats.
:47:50
And Mr. Braukoff was beating his wife
with a red-hot poker.

:47:54
I never would have believed it.
He looks like such a quiet man.

:47:59
- And you know something else?
- Don't tell!

:48:02
- You crossed your heart you wouldn't tell.
- I crossed it with my left hand.

:48:06
Mr. Braukoff has empty whiskey bottles
in his cellar.

:48:18
- Boo!
- Boo!

:48:20
Mrs. Smith, who are these boys?
:48:23
It's me, Katie. It's Agnes.
:48:25
The saints preserve us, it is!
You had me fooled.

:48:30
Mama, we fooled her!
:48:31
Well, if you can fool Katie,
you can fool anyone.

:48:35
- I'll answer it, Mama.
- I thought you were a drunken ghost.

:48:39
Well, I am. She's a horrible ghost,
and I'm a terrible drunken ghost.

:48:43
She was murdered in a den of thieves,
and I died of a broken heart.

:48:47
I've never even been buried because
everyone's scared to come near me.

:48:52
What's that?
:48:55
Here's the flour.
:48:58
- Did anyone hear a moan just then?
- I did.
