l could easily build a few hutches
and you could feed 'em alfalfa.

:07:04
You're damn right.
You're goddamn right l could.

:07:07
But, George, tell about the house.
:07:10
Well, we have a little house,
and we have a room to ourself.

:07:16
And we have a little, fat, iron stove, and
in the winter we keep a fire going in it.

:07:20
And rabbits, George. And that... But
l tend 'em. How do l tend them rabbits?

:07:25
Well, you go out to the alfalfa field.
You have a sack.

:07:29
You fill up that sack and you bring it
in and you put it in the rabbit cage.

:07:34
You have a few pigeons
that fly around the windmill,

:07:37
like they done when l was a kid.
:07:40
And it'd be our home.
:07:42
Nobody could can us.
:07:44
We don't like a guy,
we just say ''Get the hell out.''

:07:48
lf a friend come, we'd have an extra bunk.
:07:50
We'd say ''Why don't you spend
the night?'' and, by God, he would.

:07:54
We'd have a dog and a couple of cats,
:07:57
but you got to make sure
them cats don't get them rabbits.

But... you just let them try.
:08:05
l'm gonna break them goddamn cats'
necks. l smash them cats with a stick.

:08:11
You know a place like this?
:08:17
Suppose l do. What's it to you?
:08:21
How much they want for a place like that?
:08:24
- Could get it for 600 bucks.
- 600.

:08:27
Old people that owns it is broke.
:08:33
l ain't much good with only one hand.
:08:36
That's why they give me a job sweeping.
And they give me $250 cos l lost my hand.

:08:42
And l got 50 more saved
in the bank right now.

:08:44
That's, uh... 300.
:08:47
And l got 50 more coming
at the end of the month.

:08:53
Suppose l went in with you fellas.
:08:56
That'd be $350 that l'd put in.
:08:59
Now, let me tell you something.
