All right, I'll keep it. But it's yours
whenever you want it back.

:50:14
These are yours, too.
:50:17
They weren't meant for an outsider,
but Katie wanted me to know about you.

:50:22
_ I don't mind.
_ You stopped writing so long ago.

:50:26
She would read your old letters
as if they'd just come.

:50:29
Then she gave them to me to read.
:50:32
I don't know how
either of you could read them.

:50:35
_ My handwriting isn't a thing of beauty.
_ But what you wrote was, at first.

:50:41
Then I began to notice a change.
Your ma never did, but I did.

:50:46
_ Everybody changes.
_ Not the way you did.

:50:50
I began hearing things about you.
:50:53
It wasn't even the same man
who wrote those letters.

:50:56
You're going to look
for your father's killer?

:50:58
I sure am. Whoever killed him
probably stole the ranch from Katie.

:51:03
_ It's the least I can do for her.
_ Why? So you can even a score?

:51:07
Kill again? Maybe do it in front of Bud
so he can be proud of you?

:51:12
Don't let Bud worship you
because you're a killer.

:51:15
Katie wanted Bud to go to college,
to make your name stand for something.

:51:23
I'll be leaving now.
:51:27
Thank you again for this.
:51:32
Why wouldn't Katie
want me to find Bass' killer?

:51:37
Because all that means is more killing.
And Katie hated killing.

:51:59
_ How much money you got on you?
_ Me? Where would I get any money?
