: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."

:35:00
You don't say.
:35:02
For instance, I can see
that you have carried a pocket piece...

:35:06
or a curio of some kind
for nearly 20 years.

:35:10
Several times
you lost that luck piece...

:35:12
but you found it again every time.
:35:15
It means a great deal to you,
and you don't know exactly why.

:35:18
- I would say that you should always carry that.
- I always do.

:35:24
Now, Marshal,
this is none of my business.

:35:26
I see that you're a man who is fully capable
of handling his own affairs...

:35:30
and almost anything else
that's liable to come along.

:35:32
But my Scotch blood
is working right this minute...

:35:37
and it tells me that there is one thing
in your life that's worrying you...

:35:41
something that you find
very difficult to handle...

:35:44
because all your strength
and your courage...

:35:48
and your authority in the town
seems to be of no avail.

:35:52
It seems to slip through your grasp
like water.

:35:55
Wait a minute, young fella.
Who you been talkin' to?

:35:59
As I say,
it's none of my business.
