Let Smith find himself a new boy.
I can't take it another day.
:26:26
If you're a sheriff, they gotta respect you.
:26:28
Otherwise you can't do your job.
They just laugh.
:26:31
I don't laugh, Tim.
:26:33
- Why don't you?
- Cut it out, Tim.
:26:36
You should.
:26:37
In the name of well-adjusted manhood,
get a hold of yourself.
:26:40
Snap out of it. You're gonna have
a complex or something.
:26:42
Four years ago, if I'd have done my job...
:26:44
if I'd checked up
and found out what happened...
:26:47
But I didn't. It was just like Smith figured.
:26:49
What did you find out? They told you
a story, you had to believe it.
:26:53
Would you believe it?
:26:58
I don't know.
I live a quiet, contemplative life.
:27:02
Me, I didn't even try to find out.
:27:04
Don't you understand?
:27:06
When you wear this badge, you're the law.
:27:08
When someone does something
against the law...
:27:10
then you're supposed to
do something about it.
:27:13
Me, I did nothing.
:27:16
That's what's eating me.
:27:18
What kind of prescription you got for that?
:27:21
I don't know.
:27:23
Haven't found one for myself.
:27:25
But there's one thing, Tim: Don't quit!
:27:28
Why not?
:27:31
Because maybe this fellow Macreedy's
got the prescription.
