:20:01
Goodness me, Miss Lou.
:20:02
You ain't thinking of reforming, is you?
:20:05
You know,
preachers don't give away no diamonds.
:20:07
I told you he ain't a preacher,
he just runs the mission next door.
:20:11
I hear he ain't gonna run that long.
:20:13
I hear they're gonna take the mission
away from him.
:20:15
Fella named Jacobson
that owns the building...
:20:17
I hear they can't pay the rent.
:20:19
Seems to me you've been hearing things.
:20:22
Who's that?
Spider Kane.
:20:24
In a minute, Spider.
:20:27
Miss Lou'll be here in a minute.
Thanks, Pearl.
:20:29
Come in, Spider, sit down.
:20:32
What's on your mind?
:20:34
I want to talk to you about something.
:20:36
- Nothing serious, I hope.
- Not exactly, Lou.
:20:40
Well, yeah, maybe in a way, it is.
:20:42
Spill it. I ain't afraid. My conscience is clear.
:20:46
Leastwise, I think it is.
:20:48
What I've got to say
is about Chick Clark.
:20:52
Chick Clark?
:20:53
I'm wondering if you ain't sort of forgetting
about him.
:20:56
I've gotta admit it's been a long time
since I've seen Chick...
:20:59
but I ain't never completely forgot about him.
:21:02
He's been in a year now, Lou.
Yeah, I know.
:21:05
You know how he took his rap, quiet like.
Same as we all would.
:21:09
It was tough he got caught,
but it wasn't my fault.
:21:13
I ain't the sentimental kind, Spider.
:21:16
Sure, but remember,
you said you'd be, well...
:21:21
waiting around for him whenever he gets out.
:21:23
Gets out? That's gonna be a long time.
:21:26
What I want to say is...
:21:28
supposing he found out
you ain't exactly been waiting.
:21:32
I gotta do something while I'm waiting,
don't I?
:21:34
Chick wouldn't figure it that way.
Suppose he found out about Jordan?
:21:38
- What are you trying to tell me?
- Go up and see him, Lou.
:21:42
What for? And antagonise Gus?
:21:45
If I start going up there,
Gus'll think I'm still caring for Chick.
:21:48
Not that I don't like him a lot.
I ain't got no complaint.
:21:52
- Chick was a good man. In his way.
- He's in love with you, Lou.
:21:56
And being in the clink a year without the girl
what makes you feel that way...
:21:59
ain't no picnic.
