:40:04
Come on.
I'll dry between your shoulder blades.
:40:09
I guess you and I have been friends
ever since we've known each other.
:40:15
From the time I carried you
around on my back in the livery stable...
:40:18
to holding you
on the first horse you ever rode.
:40:21
I guess that's right.
:40:23
And here you are:
A night away from your mama's house...
:40:26
you've learned to drive an automobile
for the first time...
:40:31
and your first trip into the big city.
:40:34
Any boy that's done all that...
:40:37
can handle anything.
:40:41
Like what, Boon?
:40:45
You'll notice that there are a lot of
ladies staying at this boarding house.
:40:49
Don't any men live here?
:40:52
Don't know any men actively live here,
except Mr. Binford.
:40:55
Just men visiting their lady folks,
kind of quiet and polite-like.
:41:01
- You follow me?
- I will if you'll just get on with it.
:41:11
All right.
:41:14
Then here it is.
:41:15
Folks back in Jefferson would say
you're not old enough to know these things.
:41:19
I say you are.
:41:21
I say there's some things a boy can learn...
:41:24
that he never even knew about before.
:41:25
So later on in life, when he needs them,
he's already got them.
:41:29
See, ain't nothing you don't learn,
that later on you might need.
:41:32
And when that day comes...
:41:36
you can thank your lucky star
that your good friend Boon helped you.
:41:39
Does that make any sense to you?
:41:43
Some.
:41:44
Some is good enough for the time being.
:41:57
I went back to see Mrs. Fletcher again...
