:31:01
What were you doing just now, soldier?
Going over the hill?
:31:04
No. I figured maybe I'd run in to L.A.
:31:07
Be back before anyone knew.
:31:11
-What's doing in L.A.?
-My wife. She don't know where I am.
:31:14
When we crashed out,
I didn't leave no forwarding address.
:31:18
-It's the truth, Cody.
-Why didn't you ask me?
:31:21
I figured you might get sore.
:31:24
So you took off on your own.
:31:25
I haven't seen her in a long time.
:31:27
I'm human, you know, like everyone else.
:31:34
All right, kid.
:31:42
You're just lonesome.
:31:44
Lonesome like me.
:31:46
You?
:31:48
-What about...
-You mean Verna?
:31:52
All I ever had was Ma. Now...
:31:56
Your mother alive?
:31:58
No, she died before I even knew her.
:32:03
I was just walking around out there
talking to mine.
:32:09
-That sounds funny to you?
-No.
:32:14
Some might think so.
:32:15
My old lady never had anything.
:32:18
Always on the run, always on the move.
Some life.
:32:21
First, it was my old man, died kicking
and screaming in a nut house...
:32:25
then my brother,
and after that, it was taking care of me.
:32:29
Always trying to put me on top.
:32:32
"Top of the world," she used to say.
:32:34
And then,
times when I'd be losing my grip...
:32:37
there she'd be, right behind me...
:32:39
pushing me back up again. And now...
:32:44
Anyway, she quit running, Cody.
:32:47
Yeah. Quit running.
:32:50
That was a good feeling out there,
talking to her.
:32:54
Just me and Ma.
:32:57
A good feeling. I liked it.
