You know Ellen.
Yeah, I know Ellen, also knew
her father. I was his deputy.
:25:08
I mean to keep an eye on her.
Trouble is, she keeps trailin' afteryou.
:25:13
See this town doesn't
understand you pokin' around
out here in the desert,
:25:16
squintin' up
at the stars, and now
you come up with this story.
:25:19
This town !
The reason I came out
here to the desert...
:25:22
was to try and get away
from that kind of thinking.
:25:26
Putnam,
you frighten 'em.
:25:28
And what frightens 'em
they're against,
one way or another.
:25:32
Look, Matt,
I'm frightened too.
:25:35
You want to
destroy yourself,
that's your lookout.
:25:38
But leave Ellen alone.
She needs her job.
:25:48
Come on, Miss Fields,

Smile, please, Miss Fields.
:25:51

Don't get sore, Putnam.
You're news now.
:26:08
Okay, Putnam, just
tryin' to get a story.
:26:16
Snell agrees with the
sheriff and the sheriff
agrees with the others.
:26:21
I'm crazy.
Oh, I know. Matt was at me
before he found you.
:26:25
A teacher has responsibilities
to the community.
:26:28
I just wish we had found one
of them, that's all.
:26:31
Just one little monster to toss
into the principal's bedroom.
