:49:00
Yeah, over there you can knock over
a whole platoon, or a guy invents
:49:03
a bomb and kills 100000 people, just
like that and maybe gets more medals.
:49:07
Here you put a slug
in a double-crossing squirt
:49:09
that isn't even worth burying
and you have to take the gas.
:49:12
I got no feeling against the President;
I'm just earning a living.
:49:16
By treason.
:49:17
Ace shoots craps. Don't give me
that politics jazz, it's not my racket.
:49:20
I don't even know who's paying me
and I don't want to know.
:49:22
What's the difference?
:49:23
Didn't it occur to you
why they want you to do it?
:49:26
Yes, but that makes them suckers not
me. I'm the guy, who's gettin' it made.
:49:31
Listen sheriff, a man can stand only for
so much. Before the war, I drifted
:49:36
and drifted and ran, always lost
in a big crowd. I hated that crowd.
:49:42
I used to dream about
the crowd once in a while.
:49:46
I used to see all those faces scratchin'
and shovin' and bitin' and then the mist
:49:52
would clear and somehow
all those faces would be me.
:49:56
All me and all nothin'.
:49:59
But the war changed everything,
eh Baron?
:50:03
I'm no traitor, sheriff.
I won a Silver Star.
:50:08
And learned how to kill.
:50:11
Yeah, maybe I did.
Maybe that changed everything.
:50:19
Maybe people began
to know who I was.
:50:23
After the show, I hooked up
with an outfit for good dough.
:50:26
The finger said where and how much
and Johnny Baron did the job.
:50:31
You think anybody else could handle
it? Like Benny or Wheeler without me?
:50:35
You're talkin' too
much, Johnny.
:50:36
Nobody else can do this job,
because they've got too much feeling
:50:40
and feeling's
no good.
:50:43
I got nothing against
the President, sheriff.
:50:46
He's just worth half a million
bucks to me, tax-free.
:50:52
Makin' my own laws
about the taxes too, Pop.
:50:55
- The guy is goofy.
- Shut up, Jud.
:50:58
Listen to him, buster. And
don't ever say that again. Ever!
