:35:00
Get a little stretch.
:35:04
Why are you called Rooster?
I never heard a man called that.

:35:08
I guess in the old days,
I was cocky,

:35:12
kind of a struttin' bird.
- And have not changed much, as I see.

:35:17
My tail feathers
may droop a bit, and my wattles show,

:35:20
but I can still out-crow anything
in the barnyard. - No doubt.

:35:25
But can you outdo them?
:35:27
If I couldn't, I wouldn't have
much to crow about, would l?

:35:33
It all depends on the barnyard.
:35:38
Is Rooster your Christian name?
:35:40
I was baptized Reuben.
But I ask you not to repeat that.

:35:45
Why not? It's a name to be proud of.
Reuben led a great tribe in Israel.

:35:50
Well, it hit rock bottom with me.
:35:53
I'm bound to ask you this. Is your
name in the Lamb's Book of Life?

:35:58
Sister, are you licensed to preach?
:36:02
What church do you belong to?
They let women preach in it?

:36:06
I'm not an exhorter, Mr. Cogburn.
:36:09
Service to others is my witness.
I'm a teacher,

:36:12
and a journeyman nurse.
Ayah, I can pull teeth.

:36:18
I'm sorry that you don't like me.
:36:20
I just don't like the way you talk.
:36:23
How should I talk?
Talking of such things is my business.

:36:27
It isn't that, it's the way you talk.
"Ayah, ayah." What is that business?

:36:35
Oh, it's my Yankee speech
that you find offensive? - I do.

:36:39
I must try to remedy that.
:36:41
Paul tells us
that we must be all things to all men.

:36:45
I'll have to learn
some vulgar southern expressions.

:36:48
I'll learn to be lazy and slovenly.
:36:51
I'll tell you something else
that Paul said:

:36:55
"Let your women be silent in church."
:36:57
How do you know that passage?
