:08:02
- He ain't worth more than 20, Pa.
- Hey, Billy. How you doing?
:08:04
(boy) Not even that much.
:08:07
Well, if you don't like the price, you better
talk to Chet Parker. lt's his hound.
:08:13
l'm just trying to sell it for him.
:08:19
All right. We'll take it.
:08:22
lt ain't no $35 dog.
:08:24
But l promised these boys a hound, l'm
gonna get 'em one. Even if it is a poor one.
:08:28
Now, there's five, 25, 35.
:08:32
Come on, boys.
:08:38
l sure seen better dogs in my day.
:08:40
lt'll be hard,
but we'll make something out of him.
:08:46
Guess it's better than no dog at all.
:08:54
Well, that's a real shame.
:08:57
And, sure as l'm living, that's dog's gonna
end up being just as mean as they are.
:09:03
Bootleg money, that's for sure.
:09:07
Well...
:09:09
Oh, Billy.
:09:12
l wish l could have
bought him for you myself,
:09:14
but l ain't much better off than your pa.
:09:18
Don't you worry, son.
:09:20
You'll have
your own hound before too long.
:09:22
l don't know, Grandpa. Sometimes
l think God don't want me to have any.
:09:27
Well, maybe that's 'cause
you ain't doing your fair share.
:09:32
- What do you mean?
- Ah, Billy.
:09:35
lf God was a-minded to get you a dog,
that'd be easy as cutting lard.
:09:41
But then he'd be doing all the work.
That ain't good for your character.
:09:44
l don't want character. l want dogs.
:09:48
l know.
:09:49
And if you want dogs bad enough,
you're gonna have dogs.
:09:52
But if you want God's help,
you gotta meet Him halfways.
:09:58
- What does that mean?
- What, about meeting Him halfways?
