:34:06
Well, what that got to do with us?
Are you gonna move?

:34:10
Get away, Lincoln!
We're coming through!

:34:12
Now, wait a minute, fellas!
:34:15
Ho! All jokin' aside.
:34:19
Let's look at this matter
from my side.

:34:22
Why, you all know
I'm just a fresh lawyer tryin'to get ahead.

:34:26
But some of you boys act like
you wanna do me out of my first clients.

:34:30
Let him talk.! Go ahead.
:34:34
I'm not sayin'
you fellas are not right.

:34:36
Maybe these boys
do deserve to hang.

:34:39
But with me handlin' their case...
:34:43
don't look like you'll have much
to worry about on that score.

:34:48
All I'm asking is to have it done
with some legal pomp and show.

:34:53
That's all right, Abe.
How 'bout our side of it?

:34:56
We've gone to a heap of trouble
not to have at least one hangin'!

:35:00
Sure you have, Mac.
:35:02
And if these boys had more
than one life, I'd say go ahead.

:35:06
Maybe a little hangin'
mightn't do 'em any harm.

:35:09
But the sort of hangin'
you boys'd give 'em would be so -

:35:13
so permanent.
:35:20
Trouble is, when men start takin'
the law into their own hands...

:35:25
they're just as apt,
in all the confusion and fun...

:35:28
to start hangin' somebody
who's not a murderer...

:35:32
as somebody who is.
:35:34
Then the next thing you know,
they're hangin' one another just for fun...

:35:39
till it gets to the place
a man can't pass a tree...

:35:42
or look at a rope...
:35:44
without feelin'uneasy.
:35:48
We seem to lose our heads
in times like this.

:35:53
We do things together that we'd be
mighty ashamed to do by ourselves.
