:08:01
to the woman
who became my wife.
:08:04
And since l believe...
:08:05
the punishment
should fit the crime...
:08:07
l suggest that you hang me
by the neck until l am dead.
:08:13
lt's from Laura Belle.
:08:16
Did l ever tell you about her?
:08:18
She's my second cousin.
:08:22
Yes, Laura Belle
is my second cousin...
:08:24
but she was
more than that to me.
:08:27
You see, once upon a time,
in a different age...
:08:32
in a different age
and such a different world...
:08:37
l was in love.
:08:39
And wonderful to believe,
the lady was in love with me.
:08:43
You mustn't look at me
as though that were impossible.
:08:45
l was quite the looker
in my day and very dashing.
:08:48
Perhaps a bit too dashing.
:08:52
And that's why
this very wonderful girl...
:08:55
who might have been your mother,
decided on security...
:09:01
and gave herself in wedlock
to a wealthy yankee.
:09:04
Better make it fast, Chavez.
:09:05
You've only got
five minutes left.
:09:07
No! No!
:09:10
They can't.
:09:11
They can't. l won't let them.
:09:14
Better that it end.
:09:16
Really it is.
:09:20
Your mother and l
can't hurt you any longer.
:09:22
Laura Belle wants
my little girl to go to her.
:09:25
Yes, just a few more weeks...
:09:27
and at last,
you'll have a home...
:09:29
the mother you should have had.
:09:32
No, you mustn't leave me.
You mustn't.
:09:35
Listen to me, darling.
We've very little time.
:09:38
l want you to lean
on Laura Belle...
:09:41
make her your inspiration
and your guide.
:09:44
And then one day,
you'll be the great lady...
:09:46
l've always wanted you to be.
:09:49
Promise me that.
:09:52
l promise.
:09:53
Cross your heart?
:09:56
Cross my heart.
:09:57
She'll love you.
l know she will.
:09:59
And you must give her
all the love you've had for me.
