It was after my wife
had lost her mind.

:55:06
And my boys was dead.
:55:11
Me and this young lady
was pretty wild, I guess.

:55:16
In pretty deep.
:55:20
We used to come here on horseback
and swim without no bathing suits.

:55:27
One day she wanted to swim
the horses across this tank.

:55:31
Kind of a crazy thing to do,
but we done it anyway.

:55:35
She bet me a silver dollar
she could beat me across.

:55:39
She did.
:55:42
This old horse I was riding
didn't want to take the water.

:55:46
But she was always looking
for something to do like that.

:55:50
Something wild.
:55:54
I bet she's still got
that silver dollar.

:56:00
Whatever happened to her?
:56:03
She growed up.
:56:05
She was just a girl then, really.
:56:10
Let me help you with that.
:56:13
Why didn't you ever marry her
after your wife died?

:56:18
She was already married.
:56:25
Her and her husband was young
and miserable with one another...

:56:28
...like so many
young married folks are.

:56:31
I thought they'd change
with some age...

:56:34
...but it didn't turn out that way.
:56:36
-ls being married always so miserable?
-Not really.

:56:39
About 80 percent of the time,
I guess.

:56:44
We ought to go to
a real fishing tank next year.

:56:48
It don't do to think
about things like that too much.

:56:53
If she was here,
I'd probably be just as crazy now...

:56:56
...as I was then
in about five minutes.

:56:59
Ain't that ridiculous?
