:25:10
Next thing you know, they'll be
televising the whole thing.
:25:32
Huh.
:25:39
- This your body, little man?
- Don't turn me in.
:25:41
It was an accident,
an accident, pure and simple.
:25:44
I thought he was a rabbit
or a pheasant or something.
:25:46
- It could've happened to you.
- Suppose we straighten this out?
:25:49
I guess that's the only way out.
:25:52
First thing I seen
when I rolled out this morning
:25:54
was a double-breasted robin
drunk as a hoot owl,
:25:57
from eating fermented chokecherries.
:25:59
Right away I knew somebody
was in trouble.
:26:01
What I didn't know
was that it was me.
:26:04
The larder was empty and I got to
thinking about a toothful...
:26:09
(Sam) Stands to reason
that they can't touch you for it.
:26:12
Nothing these days
stands to reason.
:26:14
It was accidental,
an act of God, perhaps.
:26:19
In a way you should be grateful
that you were able to do your share
:26:21
in accomplishing
the destiny of a fellow being.
:26:26
Suppose, for instance,
it was written in the book of heaven,
:26:28
that this man was to die
:26:30
at this particular time,
at this particular place.
:26:34
And suppose for a moment
that the actual
:26:36
accomplishing of his departure had
been bungled, something gone wrong.
:26:40
Uh... Perhaps it was meant to be
a thunderbolt
:26:43
and there was
no thunder available, say.
:26:45
Well, then you come along,
and you shoot him...
:26:48
and heaven's will is done
and destiny fulfilled.
:26:53
Your conscience is quite clear.
You've got nothing to worry about.
:26:56
Sammy, I haven't got a conscience.
:26:58
And it's not heaven
that's worrying me
