:26:00
I mean, are you ready
to tell me the story?
:26:03
I know what you mean.
:26:06
Now, suppose you tell me everything
you told the state police...
:26:09
plus everything you didn't tell
the state police.
:26:14
- Where should I begin?
- When did you leave for Quill's bar?
:26:17
Right after dinner.
About 8:30, I guess.
:26:21
Manny was late getting home
from the firing range...
:26:23
so we had dinner,
he laid down and went to sleep.
:26:26
I hadn't been out of the trailer
all day, so...
:26:29
I took Muff and a flashlight
and walked over to the bar.
:26:31
I bought a drink
and played the pinball machine.
:26:34
- Many people in the bar?
- Mm-mm. Not many.
:26:38
Barney came over
and challenged me to a game.
:26:40
- For drinks, you know?
- How well did you know Barney?
:26:43
Well, he owned this bar where
Manny and I went sometimes, that's all.
:26:47
Had he ever made a pass at you?
:26:49
No. Nothing like that at all.
:26:51
Was he drinking heavily that night?
:26:55
Didn't seem to be. At least
not when we were playing pinball.
:26:58
Were you with him
the whole time you were there?
:27:00
No, there were other people
playing too.
:27:03
And what time did you leave the bar?
:27:05
Oh, about 1 1 :00, I guess.
:27:08
I left by the side door.
Muff was carrying the flashlight.
:27:12
He carries it in his mouth.
He's so cute...
:27:14
running along ahead
with the light shining.
:27:15
- Was he sober?
- Muff? Of course he was sober.
:27:18
Oh, you're joking now,
aren't you?
:27:20
Yes, I'm joking.
Go on.
:27:23
Well, Barney came from somewhere.
:27:26
Not the door I left by.
:27:28
And he said he was going my way
and he could drive me home.
:27:30
He said the bears had been prowling
around, and I oughtn't to walk home.
:27:34
The bears come out of the woods
at night to scavenge.
:27:37
They're harmless enough,
aren't they?
:27:39
Yeah, I suppose I wouldn't have been
afraid in the daylight...
:27:41
but the dark isn't the same.
:27:43
Yes, I know. I know.
Now, you got into Barney's car--
:27:46
I got in and he drove
straight to the trailer park.
:27:49
- He made overtures?
- No, nothing.
:27:52
When we got to the trailer park,
the auto gate was closed.
:27:55
Mr. Lemon closes it
about 1 1 :00 or a little after.
:27:58
So I thanked Barney
and started to get out of the car...
