:06:00
I'd always end up by loving 'em.
:06:03
I'd feel bad and pray and pray,
but it didn't do no good.
:06:07
Next time do it again.
:06:10
I figured I just wasn't worth saving.
:06:13
Pa always says you was never
cut out for no preacher.
:06:17
I never let one get by me if I could catch her.
Have a snort?
:06:21
But you wasn't a preacher.
A girl was just a girl to you.
:06:26
To me they's holy vessels.
:06:30
I was saving their souls.
:06:34
I asked myself,
what is this here called holy spirit?
:06:39
Maybe that's love.
:06:41
Why, I love everybody so much
I'm fit to burst sometimes.
:06:48
So... maybe there ain't no sin
and there ain't no virtue.
:06:53
It's just what people does.
:06:59
Some things folks do is nice
and some ain't so nice.
:07:03
And that's all any man's got a right to say.
:07:06
Of course, I'll say a grace
if somebody sets out the food.
:07:11
But my heart ain't in it.
:07:14
- Nice drinkin' liquor.
- Ought to be. It's factory liquor. Cost a buck.
:07:20
- You been out travelling around?
- Ain't you heard? It's been in the papers.
:07:24
- No, I never. What?
- I've been in the penitentiary for four years.
:07:28
Excuse me for asking.
:07:33
I don't mind no more.
I'd do what I done again.
:07:37
Killed a guy in a dance hall.
:07:41
We was drunk. He got a knife in me
and I laid him out with a shovel.
:07:45
- Knocked his head plumb to squash.
- You ain't ashamed?
:07:49
No. He had a knife in me.
That's why they only gave me seven years.
:07:53
I got out in four. Parole.
:07:55
- Ain't seen your folks since?
- No, but I aim to before sundown.
:07:59
And I'm gettin' excited about it too.
