I could have killed him if I'd wanted to,
but I didn't.

:57:04
I just wanted him to let me go.
:57:07
- Why?
- Because he tried to hold me.

:57:13
He wanted to tie me down.
:57:14
He wanted to keep me
on a stinking little ranch...

:57:17
away from everybody.
Keep me all to himself.

:57:19
Nobody holds me.
:57:22
- But he loved you.
- Love.

:57:25
He wanted to own me.
:57:28
He wanted to bring me up
like a snot-nosed kid...

:57:31
and tell me what to do.
Nobody tells me what to do.

:57:36
Always so right himself.
Knowing everything.

:57:40
Reading the Bible at me.
:57:43
- What are you grinning at?
- Nothing.

:57:47
Maybe you know what I'm talking about?
:57:50
Always so right himself?
:57:53
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

:57:55
Maybe like you said out there,
maybe you are more like me.

:58:02
Yeah, you got sense.
:58:04
Maybe you don't fall for that slop
any more than I do.

:58:08
Maybe you know what people
are really like. What they want.

:58:12
I got the toughest house on the coast...
:58:15
and the finest clientele.
:58:19
Half the stinking city hall go there.
:58:23
They sneak in at night...
:58:25
and I walk in this front door
in the daytime, see.

:58:29
And I built it up from nothing.
:58:32
Now you want $5,000 of my money...
:58:35
to go into business
to pay your father back what he lost.

:58:38
You know, that's funny.
:58:40
I don't think he'll know where I got it.
:58:43
No, but it's funny just the same.
:58:46
Your father.
:58:48
He's the purest man there is, isn't he?
:58:52
He thought he had me all tied up
with his purity.

:58:56
And now I give you $5,000
of the money that I made...

:58:59
to save him his purity.
