HI: Boys, I can't.
:54:03
EVELLE: We need someone handy
with a scatter-gun...
:54:06
to cover them hayseeds
while we get that cash.
:54:09
GALE: You understand, H.I.?
:54:10
If this works out,
it's just the beginning...
:54:13
of a spree to cover
the entire Southwest.
:54:16
And we keep going
until we can retire...
:54:19
or we get caught.
:54:21
Either way,
we're fixed for life.
:54:29
Boys, this is a kind offer,
but...
:54:32
if you're suggesting
I just up and leave Ed...
:54:36
that would be pretty damn
cowardly, wouldn't it?
:54:39
Would it?
Think about it, H.I.
:54:44
Seems to me, sitting here,
you ain't doing her any good...
:54:48
and you ain't bein' true
to your own nature.
:55:05
HI: "My dearest Edwina...
:55:09
"tonight as you and Nathan
slumber...
:55:12
"my heart is filled
with anguish.
:55:16
"I hope that you will both
understand...
:55:18
"and forgive me for
what I have decided I must do.
:55:23
"By the time you read this,
I will be gone.
:55:30
"I will never be the man
that you want me to be...
:55:34
"the husband and father
that you and Nathan deserve.
:55:41
"Maybe it's my upbringing.
:55:44
"Maybe it's just
that my genes got screwed up.
:55:49
"I don't know...
:55:53
"but the events
of the last day...
:55:55
"have showed amply...
:55:59
"that I don't have
the strength of character...
