:24:01
l live with my sister and her husband.
Now, they get along fine.

:24:05
So fine, that one day
he threw a bread knife at her.

:24:07
She ducked.
:24:09
That's the way it goes.
Maybe if your wife had ducked...

:24:12
there'd be no trial, no Quentin,
no on the lam.

:24:15
That's life.
:24:23
-Smoke?
-All right.

:24:29
Light?
:24:36
-What was she like?
-She was all right.

:24:38
Just hated my guts.
:24:40
For a long time l tried to find out why,
then l didn't care anymore.

:24:44
l know. Nice, happy, normal home.
:24:47
l almost got roped in
a couple of times myself.

:24:50
lf you find the right girl, it's okay.
:24:53
-What'll l do?
-You won't listen.

:24:55
l'll listen. l want ideas.
:24:56
That's what l want
more than anything else. ldeas.

:24:59
l didn't kill her.
:25:00
Why should l go back to San Quentin
for the rest of my life if l didn't kill her?

:25:04
l wonder what he could do with your face?
:25:07
-Who?
-A friend of mine. Knows his stuff.

:25:10
-How much would he want?
-How much you got?

:25:12
$1,000. That's all l've got.
:25:14
-He'd take $200.
-And keep after me from then on.

:25:18
No, he's a friend of mine.
:25:20
-What's your charge?
-Nothing.

:25:22
l've seen him work. He's great.
:25:24
l wouldn't know my own mother
after he got through with her.

:25:26
How long would it take?
:25:28
Maybe a week,
if he doesn't have to touch your nose.

:25:30
l don't think he will. Just a little
around the eyes and here and there.

:25:34
-Got a place to stay?
-We're right near the place.

:25:37
-A friend.
-Dependable?

:25:39
The only close friend l've ever had.
:25:42
Let's see, it's 2:00 a.m. now.
:25:45
l'll go up and see the doc
and make a date for you for 3:00 a.m.

:25:49
Nice safe hour.
:25:52
You go up to his place.
:25:54
lt's up an alley, it's safe.
