you were, But not everyone is so good keeping their promises.
4
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:29.719
Some people are devious. Some people tell you what you
5
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.759
want to hear, My dear, what's that?
6
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:33.359
Oh?
7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.600
No, I feel great. I'm having a rather rare night.
8
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.039
My dander may be up, just a smidget, but overall
9
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.320
a good evening. Indeed, and tonight we're going to listen.
10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.439

00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:22.280

00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.319
a moment. Act one of The Sin Eater, written especially
16
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.719

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.000

Extra margins, yes, extra margins, smoke afters moke, read there's builter.
19
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.159
Parliament is the cigarette that gives you an extra margin.
20
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:51.200
Every Parliament give extravidence and made me stay and need
21
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:58.319
to clean quarter is Parliament gives you Extvidenoking your nuggy

clee with filer.
23
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.439
Man can't know for sure, least ways till death comes
24
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:23.879
after him. Rar enough sudden light striking a man back.
25
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.520
We're just gonna set there reading of the book.
26
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.639
How is he all same.
27
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:30.120
As he was?
28
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.599
Jesse? So near being dead? I swear he.
29
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:37.840
Slips across the black river, and then his terrible fear
30
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:42.599
brings him back again. Lo louse, I asked you, you're
31
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:43.360
just gonna.
32
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.599
Sit there, I figured praying for him. He ain't just
33
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:48.560
sitting here praying.
34
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.240
Ain't no good for him. And you ought to know it.
35
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.960
What you expect me to do?
36
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.960
I expect you to let him die.
37
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.240
He knows what he is doing all these years. You
38
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.319
can't put it on me. Now when it's time to pay.
39
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:02.759
Don't talk.
40
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.919
So he's got the burden, not you.
41
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.919
He's looking to lay in the ground while his soul
42
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.599
walks and toll men through the great gray world for
43
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.039
all eternity or burns and health.
44
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:18.240
Eyres a Diamontian.
45
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:24.319
His pains are terrible, fierce. I'll see it staring out
46
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.520
of his eyes like an animal in a trap. As
47
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.439
it be a mercy for any man. But he can't
48
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.759
let hisself die, not yet, not like he is.
49
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.240
Each of us owes God to death, and no man
50
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:38.960
can pay for somebody else.
51
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.680
Oly Isaac was here, he'd know what to do.
52
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.120
Eazac ain't one of us no more.
53
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.159
He went down the mountain, he went forth from Gilead,
54
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.280
left us in our ways behind him.
55
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:54.960
We was to ask Eazac for help. He just about
56
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.840
the law at us. Ever, which way he's.
57
00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.400
Got to do it? Ourselves got to do it right now?
58
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.039
Do what you've got to go?
59
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:03.560
Some other?
60
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.400
Where is you and Jesse here?
61
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.759
What firmall? What me and Paul supposed to do?
62
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:14.000
You'll fetch someone so's your grandpa can die? Someone ain't
63
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.000
afeared like other folks around here. Someone ain't kin so
64
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:19.040
they let him do it.
65
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:21.560
But who who are we to pitch?
66
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:27.279
I don't care someone anyone who can take his every burden?
67
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.040
Well, what if we don't find someone?
68
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.439
You've got to Jesse's most of gold Man between you.
69
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.160
You fetch someone, But what if they don't want to come?
70
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:50.000
Make them beautiful?
71
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.360
Isn't it still?
72
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:57.759
It's like you've got eye of the beholder line. Oh
73
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.560
now I know what they mean by God forsaken?
74
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:02.240
Too bad?
75
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.720
The scenery doesn't include some attentive young men.
76
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:06.560
Oh, don't start that again.
77
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:08.920
Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
78
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.600
And I'm just a jealous old man with a young
79
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:12.399
and too.
80
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.040
Beautiful wife and a vivid imagination.
81
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.439
Quite right, this would be good for both of this
82
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.439
weak among these hills, on.
83
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:29.720
Simple people, away from all the strains of Oh you know,
84
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.399
I became a teacher because I thought it would be
85
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.480
the peaceful life.
86
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.879
And I guess we both got food.
87
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.199
Oh, what's the matter with him? He is mother, and
88
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:43.199
I've proved to pass.
89
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:44.680
It's a police car.
90
00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.480
But why is he waving me to stop? I wasn't speeding.
91
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.800
Maybe he wants to autograph. He was smiling.
92
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.519
How did we know anything wrong?
93
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:00.920
Officer?
94
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.399
I'm sure I wasn't going too fast.
95
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.399
No, say, I just wanted to check was all right?
96
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.600
Not lost? Nothing? And not many cars have used this
97
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:09.519
here back road.
98
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.959
Oh I see well, No, no, we're not lost, just
99
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.240
taking a drive through these hills. My name is Reed,
100
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.040
this is my wife, plays the major mister.
101
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.959
Ring you, ma'am. Hello, kind of dangerous.
102
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.199
The road is not so good.
103
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.480
Are the natives friendly?
104
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.920
Yes, ma'am, I come from around here myself.
105
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.639
I can see that you're friendly, can't you?
106
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:37.279
James?
107
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.600
My wife is a quaint sense of humor, Officer, Yes,
108
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.720
are there any communities near here?
109
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:51.319
Community nests of natives unspoiled and undiscovered? You see, Officer,
110
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.360
my husband is a specialist in folk music, ballad, that
111
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.199
sort of thing. He's still hoping to come across some
112
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.639
tunes that Carl Sander missed.
113
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.920
That's so, ma'am foreigners.
114
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:05.600
Isn't that what you call us?
115
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.879
Yes, s PRIs you, mister Reed, I'd keep right on
116
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.519
driving along, headed right like yas should bring into pie Ree.
117
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.079
That's the next town bit after dark. It's where I'm headed.
118
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:23.439
Now, you make it all sound dangerous, Officer, don't you
119
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.879
think you'd better drive along and protect us?
120
00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.480
It's easy thing to scoff man when the sun shine.
121
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:33.000
You take my advice, mister Reed, and drive right on
122
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:33.839
into pie Ree.
123
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:34.680
Uh.
124
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.160
I don't recollect ever hearing any ballad songs like you.
125
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:39.240
Say around here.
126
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.959
Oh well, thank you, officer, we'll do that.
127
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:51.199
Bye.
128
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:53.920
You figured they seen us, Paul, of course not.
129
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.000
Cain't no one see why it is? Free comes down.
130
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.439
We got us a perfect hidea, ain't we.
131
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.480
She's sure pretty achy paums when the sun slands off
132
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:07.959
her hair sort.
133
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.480
Of like gold. Jessep Bell all like pain on her face.
134
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:13.000
Come on, let's go.
135
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:14.279
We're gonna fetch him, Paul.
136
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:23.839
We're gonna fetch one of them into hell. And no
137
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.000
need for you to be beholden to me. Me and
138
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.279
Jesse here admired. Take you folks? Oh well, they say,
139
00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:31.720
it's just back in the hills a bit, just short
140
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.559
piece old granny Seaman. She's all a singing them things what.
141
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.399
You call them, dallas? That's it. I know she'd be
142
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:42.159
proud to sing them for you.
143
00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:44.919
And you say, no one else like us, I mean,
144
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:46.799
ever came here to hear her.
145
00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:49.279
No, here we sort out of the way.
146
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.480
You might say, this will be one in Carl Sander's eye?
147
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:55.960
Does your friend talk?
148
00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:00.480
Ain't my friend, ma'am. He's my boy. Jesse off real
149
00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:01.639
good when he's a mind to.
150
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:03.399
Is that so, Jesse?
151
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:05.600
Now you're going to start on that boy.
152
00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:08.720
Boy he's taller than his father.
153
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.960
Leave him alone, of.
154
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:14.159
Course, what do you take me for? Reminds me of
155
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:30.799
that officer you got better looking, Jim. I can't see
156
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.320
a thing except this road, and precious little of that
157
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:34.799
let's go back.
158
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:35.600
What's the matter.
159
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.360
I don't like it, that's what's the matter. Where are
160
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:40.840
they taking this? For all you know, they could be
161
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:42.480
getting ready to shove us off a cliff.
162
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.039
Oh please, an officer. You knew what he was talking about.
163
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.159
The sun set and it's not so easy to scoff.
164
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.879
All right, I'm scared, I admit it. You know we
165
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:53.279
you turn around? Please?
166
00:09:54.360 --> 00:10:05.399
Oh wow, you are frightened. Of course, my dear, something wrong.
167
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.320
My wife doesn't feel well. I'm afraid we'll have to
168
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.720
turn back and put off our visit till another time.
169
00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:13.879
It's only a little peace further, I'm.
170
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.919
Sure it is, but you'll have to forgive us. Thank
171
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:16.840
you for your kindness.
172
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.000
You come all this way, seems ashamed to stop.
173
00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.200
Yes, but my wife, he looks fine to me, however
174
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:26.480
she may look. She doesn't feel now now, really, there's
175
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.840
a little point in talking about this if you'll move
176
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.519
your mule aside so I can turn around. Didn't you
177
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:34.240
hear what I say?
178
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.440
We heard? Mystery?
179
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:37.120
Well, you get out of the way. I don't want
180
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.639
to hurt that animal. Nobody's hurting nothing. Listen, you make
181
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:44.840
me this scatter gun says, and you do like I.
182
00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.440
Say, Now, please, we get out of that car.
183
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.720
But what if we produce? You can't kidnap us like this?
184
00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.840
We'll be missed. Yes, yes, a police officer was talking
185
00:10:56.840 --> 00:10:57.120
to us.
186
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.080
Just he won't bother us. None.
187
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.200
You won't be the first. It's disappeared in these hills. Hey,
188
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.360
you've come along right now. Like we say, we won't
189
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:12.440
hurt you. None, nothing will nothing that's in this world.
190
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:24.759
I can't walk another step.
191
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.720
We gotta keep up with him. It's just over that
192
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:28.639
rise of hill.
193
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.120
Well you seem like a nice boy.
194
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.480
Ain't a boy? I'm a man, Yes.
195
00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:44.519
I can see that. Let me lean on your arm.
196
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:50.519
That's better. You won't let anything happen to me. Let's
197
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.639
say you won't. Well, i'm young. You know how that is,
198
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.879
don't you. Well it's different with my husband, and oh,
199
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:00.000
won't you tell me what it is?
200
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.879
How come you married old man like that?
201
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:09.039
Promise me you'll protect me? When you promise me, I promise.
202
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:19.279
Hold in the hole. It's a grave, you don't know.
203
00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:20.000
Be a jest?
204
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:21.519
Guns on the grown out?
205
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.519
Real fancy ladies?
206
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:30.200
Where's my husband's oldest brides?
207
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:34.200
Ain't you? Maybe we'll change that? Come in the house.
208
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:43.519
Mis see, Oh don't you free Bucil?
209
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:44.600
What do they want?
210
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.799
All right? You force us here against our wills? Why
211
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:49.759
you ever hear?
212
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:50.879
Tell? Rest?
213
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.919
Will you let him know we got someone? Let him rest, easy,
214
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.240
let him tick the one he wants it to be,
215
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.799
sos he can die?
216
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:01.120
What does she talking about in here?
217
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.720
Grandpa? Grandpa?
218
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.519
Maybe we're too late.
219
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:22.720
No, see his hands moving fingers, Grandpa, that's true. Open
220
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:32.240
your eyes. Everything's all right, alright, See luc and Jesse
221
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:38.480
got someone hold up the lamps as he can see him. Jesse, See, Grandpa,
222
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:45.440
I can't stand it. Clear up, which'll it be? Grandpa?
223
00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.759
You show us and that one it'll be? I promised you.
224
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.080
Then you can drop off knives and easy and peace.
225
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:57.519
So take sirn Grandpa.
226
00:13:58.440 --> 00:13:59.039
A man.
227
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:03.279
A woman looks like it wouldn't make much of a
228
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.200
never mind.
229
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.000
The man he's pointing to the man.
230
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:10.039
So be it.
231
00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:18.799
It's all over. He's dead.
232
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.759
He's the good Lord.
233
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:23.279
Have mercy on his soul. Amen.
234
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:31.960
Amen, Oh uh, perhaps you'll tell us what you want
235
00:14:32.039 --> 00:14:32.440
me for.
236
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:32.960
Yep.
237
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.519
Us folks through these hills come from Wales. Least ways
238
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.639
are old folks did, and they brought certain ways with
239
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.519
him ways it seems strange to others.
240
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.240
You ever hear tell of sin eating.
241
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.919
Well, it's uh, some kind of superstition, isn't it?
242
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:56.679
And the hells it's a belief. It's true, just as
243
00:14:56.759 --> 00:14:57.519
true as sin.
244
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.600
It's one way sure a person can go certain to heaven.
245
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.480
It's this way a person goes short of heaven by
246
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:09.200
having all the sins he's been guilty of transferred to
247
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.080
somebody else willing to have them.
248
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.360
And that someone is the sin eater.
249
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:19.200
You're wise not to mark that person is a sin eater.
250
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:22.360
Out of death, the corpse is brought out of the
251
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.559
house and laid on a bier. Then a piece of
252
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.080
bread is brought out and delivered to the sin eater
253
00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:32.279
across the corpse, and he eats it. Then a bowl
254
00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:36.159
of all which the sineater drinks off in a draft,
255
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.519
after which he has given a bit of silver money.
256
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.000
Then and there he takes on hisself all the sins
257
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:46.440
of the dead, freed him of them from walking the
258
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:48.320
wide world or burning in hell.
259
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:53.440
And that old man in there, he was one of
260
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:54.799
these sin eaters.
261
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:58.200
Longer than anyone around here can remember.
262
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.559
What you dragged us here. For this is what he's
263
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:09.039
supposed to do, Heat bread and drink ale and take
264
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.279
on the sins that the old man was afraid to.
265
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:12.480
Die with real people.
266
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.200
I'm sorry, she's a fat I reckon. She's got a
267
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.639
right to be. She comes so close to having sins
268
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:25.200
done days and years before she was born, waited.
269
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:25.720
Out of her soul.
270
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.240
There was too much for the old man when time came.
271
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.399
That's why we had to get you. So he could die, though,
272
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:36.440
and he'd be free of them because of sinney to
273
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:41.159
who'd come after? But what if I refuse with you?
274
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.039
You've seen that grave out yonder. That'll hoole both of
275
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:46.879
you if you don't hold Grandpa.
276
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:47.919
She had to be sins.
277
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:49.360
Of course he'll do it.
278
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:50.799
That tell them you will.
279
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.799
The wageress of sin is death. You offer me death
280
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:13.759
either way.
281
00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:13.359
Of all the ridiculous mumber jumble I ever heard of.
282
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:16.920
I mean, after Freud and his friends, who believes in
283
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:25.319
sin and eating modes, these still believes it Just too much, Jim, Jim,
284
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:26.000
you listening to me?
285
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:32.480
Jim, Look, Look we see what I must get away somehow.
286
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.119
I don't care what you say, or I won't take
287
00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:39.680
I won't take the slime from that old man, the foulness,
288
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.279
the filth. Perhaps if I was younger or stronger, if
289
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.720
I knew less or more. I look, I'm going to
290
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.960
try to run into the trees and then I'll no.
291
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.359
Now he's watching, he's got the gun when edit you
292
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:55.119
got away? Or about me?
293
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.440
He likes you, he likes you. I saw it. She's
294
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:02.119
like all the other strong young men. Oh.
295
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.279
I I'm sorry, Lucille. I didn't mean at the p
296
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:06.920
Please please talk to him?
297
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:10.119
Will you ask him to let us go? He won't try.
298
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:13.400
Pry for god sake.
299
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:13.880
Pry.
300
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:23.400
Alright, I tried, huge, poor old man.
301
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.119
Jesse.
302
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:30.160
I wanna talk to you?
303
00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:31.720
What do you want?
304
00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:32.119
Miss?
305
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.240
Oh, just wanna talk to you. I better other girls
306
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.279
around here like to do that.
307
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.000
Don't think, Jessie, you got no gals around here, he swears,
308
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.240
not girl ones like me. I I never see one
309
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.279
like you, gold hair, smelling like flowers.
310
00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.799
Jesse, you like me, don't you?
311
00:18:56.000 --> 00:19:01.680
I like you? Reckon? I do you make me feel funny?
312
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:02.359
Is all I know?
313
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:03.839
Different?
314
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:09.440
And Jesse, let us get away my husband and me
315
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:11.279
now before the others come out.
316
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:13.279
That's what the sweet talking's fur.
317
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:16.480
So you and him can run if I was alone,
318
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:21.200
I wouldn't want to leave. But look at him, poor
319
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.119
old man. You see he's afraid.
320
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.920
He'd ought to be a fair with what he's going
321
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.680
to do when I'm going to make.
322
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.279
Sure he does.
323
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:31.319
Your grandfather died happy. That's the main thing, isn't it.
324
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:34.119
Don't care if when he was happy or not I
325
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:37.400
hated him, Just a mean old man full of sin.
326
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.039
Then let us go.
327
00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.839
No mall feels different about him.
328
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:43.079
He was hurt, Paul.
329
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.319
Besides, time them sins just got out of here one
330
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:46.920
way or the other.
331
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.319
Would you want me to be a sin eater?
332
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.759
Course not. You heard me talk up in there for you.
333
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.119
But don't see. When we're gone from here, my husband
334
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:00.599
will force me to take them away from him, just
335
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.720
the way you mean to do it. Now, Please let
336
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:07.440
us go so he won't force me. Later you could
337
00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.680
come to Piy, then I'd wait for you.
338
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:11.279
You and I.
339
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:14.799
Cusy's time come into hand.
340
00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:26.759
She's just don't you wear enough? Man? Stand over the car.
341
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.039
No do like she says, I won't. You can't make
342
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.440
me do it now?
343
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.160
You just standing up here nice like she told me.
344
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:39.200
How you treat her.
345
