:15:02
I Iove this Iand.
:15:05
I mean...
:15:07
...I reaIIy Iove this Iand.
:15:24
I'm gonna make this brief, quick, just
get it over with, but it wiII be everything.

:15:29
FactuaI, just the facts. 10:00.
I punch in, my reguIar time for Tuesdays.

:15:33
At 10:30 we're having karaoke night...
:15:35
...so there's maybe 20 or 30 peopIe
miIIing around.

:15:38
That's when Matthew Shepard
comes in aIone, he comes in and...

:15:43
...he sits right where you're sitting
right now, orders himseIf a Heineken.

:15:47
So what can I teII you about Matt?
WeII, manners...

:15:52
...poIiteness, inteIIigence.
Taking care of me, as in tips.

:15:55
Everything, he just offers conversation.
:15:58
He comes in,
he's aIways dressed nice, cIean-cut.

:16:00
Didn't seem to have any worries.
He wasn't waiting on anybody.

:16:03
He just wanted to enjoy his drink
and the company around.

:16:13
I guess it was maybe 11:30 or 11:45.
:16:15
That's when RusseII Henderson
and Aaron McKinney came in.

:16:19
They come in, approach the bar,
they sit here and order a pitcher...

:16:22
...and as you know, they pay for the thing
entireIy in dimes and quarters...

:16:26
...which, Iet me teII you,
is something you just don't forget.

:16:29
You don't forget something Iike that.
$5.50 in dimes and quarters?

:16:32
It's a freaking nightmare
for a bartender.

:16:35
Money meant nothing to Matthew
because he grew up with a lot of it.

:16:39
He'd have handed over his waIIet
in a second...

:16:41
...because money meant nothing to him.
:16:43
I mean, his shoes might have
meant something, but....

:16:46
They can say it was robbery
aII they want to, but I don't buy it.

:16:50
Not even for an iota of a second.
:16:52
look, when they came in,
Henderson and McKinney...

:16:55
...to me, they didn't seem
to be intoxicated at aII.

:16:58
They came in,
they order a pitcher of beer...
