:17:16
_ John.
_ Matt. Been a long time.
:17:19
Time ain't made you any prettier.
:17:22
Tom. It hasn't helped you any, either.
:17:25
_ Don't tell me this is the kid?
_ I'm almost eighteen!
:17:29
_ Bud started college this year.
_ How about that?
:17:32
When I went to school, anybody
got past four plus four is eight, I cried.
:17:36
Well, Ma want...
:17:38
Ma said she wanted me to go.
:17:41
Yeah.
:17:46
You got here a little late.
We just got back from the funeral.
:17:50
I was watching from a hill.
Katie wouldn't have wanted any trouble.
:17:55
Never stopped you before.
:17:59
_ How did she die?
_ Doc lsdell said she wore herself out.
:18:04
She had a stroke and couldn't talk.
Then the preacher wrote to you.
:18:08
I came to see her
about three years ago.
:18:11
A bit of money
to put into that hardware business.
:18:14
At least I come back.
:18:16
It didn't matter too much to Katie.
I never was her favourite.
:18:20
It seems you two were the only ones
that saw Ma in the last few years.
:18:26
Like Matt says, I've been away, too.
:18:30
Yeah, well.
:18:37
_ ls it true what they say about you?
_ Only the bad things, Bud.
:18:42
How many men have you killed?
:18:44
You'd better ask Tom. He seems
to know more about me than I do.
:18:48
Pretty smart, considering
we haven't met for ten years.
:18:52
I'm asking you. How many?
:18:55
_ What did Katie tell you?
_ Not Mom, other people.
