:48:02
Well, maybe it is an Osage by mistake.
:48:05
How about a Cherokee, Yancey?
:48:09
Not a Cherokee, Sid.
I recognized your voice by the squeak.
:48:12
If you knew anything at all, you
and Yountis and the rest of your outfit...
:48:16
you'd realize that a Cherokee
is too smart...
:48:17
to put anything in the contribution box of
a race that's robbed him of his birthright.
:48:26
Friends, we've come to the sermon.
:48:29
Anyone wishing to leave,
kindly do so now.
:48:33
Please make way
for all departing worshippers.
:48:40
My text is from Proverbs.
:48:43
"A lion is in the way.
There's a lion in the streets."
:48:49
Friends, there's a lion
in the streets of Osage.
:48:57
I have a confession to make.
:48:59
I have gone about seeking information
of this lion.
:49:02
I might say this jackal or dirty skunk...
:49:05
if it wouldn't be sacrilegious.
:49:08
But this jackal in a lion's skin...
:49:11
who by threatening sudden death...
:49:13
has held this little town
abjectly terrorized.
:49:18
I intended to announce from this pulpit...
:49:21
this platform...
:49:23
that I would publish this knowledge...
:49:25
in the first issue
of the Oklahoma Wigwam...
:49:27
coming off the press next Thursday,
thereby starting my paper off with a bang.
:49:37
Friends, and fellow citizens...
:49:40
I repent of my greed...
:49:42
and my desire for self-advancement
at the expense of this community.
:49:46
I no longer intend to withhold the name
of that yellow, skunking murderer...
:49:51
who shot down Jack Paigler
when his back was turned.
:49:54
I will tell you all now the name of that...
