:33:01
Shut up, you. I've got orders from the mayor
to close you down and arrest who I see fit.

:33:05
Send somebody for that geek.
I'm taking him and you and that girl there.

:33:09
- What for?
- Indecent exposure. That's what I'm arresting her for.

:33:12
- She didn't do anything wrong.
- We've decent women in this town, daughters and growing girls.

:33:16
- Come on!
- Just a moment, Sheriff.

:33:18
- Molly. The chair.
- Get out of that contraption.

:33:36
Now you can see the reason for the costume
this young lady is forced to wear.

:33:41
The electricity would ignite
any ordinary fabric.

:33:43
Only by wearing the thinnest covering
can she avoid bursting into flames.

:33:47
That's right, chief. Thousands of volts
of current cover her body like a sheet.

:33:51
You can't pull the wool over my eyes
with a lot of sparks.

:33:54
I've done business with you carnival
crooks before. Get that geek in here.

:33:57
You can talk to the judge.
:34:00
- Go get that geek. Put a shirt on him first.
- Wait a minute.

:34:05
Let me take a crack at that hick.
:34:07
- You daffy? You want him to pinch the whole show?
- Slip me a couple of bills.

:34:10
- You can't bribe these guys.
- Come on, come on. Give me the dough.

:34:15
- It won't work.
- I'm not gonna bribe him.

:34:18
That's what they say.
:34:20
No, no, no.
We're not bothering any of the town folk.

:34:24
- Excuse me, Marshal.
- I don't want any more of your soft soap.

:34:28
Pardon me, sir, but there seems to be
several bills coming out of your pocket.

:34:32
Another minute
and you'd have lost your money.

:34:35
And I see you've bought your wife
a present of a lovely silk handkerchief.

:34:39
That's very nice.
I'm sure she's gonna like that very much.

:34:42
- And a pure white one. For your daughter?
- How'd you know I got a daughter?

:34:46
I know many things, Marshal.
:34:49
I don't know how I know them, but there's
nothing supernatural about it, I'm sure.

:34:54
You see, my family was Scotch...
:34:56
and the Scotch are often gifted with powers
that the old folks used to call "second sight."
