1. My mother died of pneumonia
when I was just a kid.Copy !req
2. My father had kept their wedding cake
in the freezer for ten whole years.Copy !req
3. After the funeral he gave it
to the yard man.Copy !req
4. He tried to act cheerful,
but he could never be consoled...Copy !req
5. by the little stranger
he found in his house.Copy !req
6. Then, one day, hoping to begin a new life
away from the scene offal his memories...Copy !req
7. he moved us from Texas
to Fort Dupree, South Dakota.Copy !req
8. I'll give you a dollar to eat this Collie.Copy !req
9. I ain't gonna eat him for a dollar.Copy !req
10. I don't think he's a Collie either.Copy !req
11. Some kind of dog, though.Copy !req
12. Watch your head.Copy !req
13. Hey, Woody!Copy !req
14. Give me a cigarette!Copy !req
15. Woody wouldn't give me a cigarette.Copy !req
16. Ever notice he don't talk much?Copy !req
17. Yeah, he's not a talker. You got that.Copy !req
18. Little did I realize, what began in the alleys
and back ways of this quiet town...Copy !req
19. would end in the Badlands of Montana.Copy !req
20. - No, they wouldn't fit.
- You haven't tried 'em on.Copy !req
21. - No, no. What size are they?
- Your size.Copy !req
22. - Come on, give me a dollar for 'em.
- No.Copy !req
23. They cost $20 new.Copy !req
24. Why don't you see if they fit you?Copy !req
25. This lady don't ever pay her bills.Copy !req
26. She's gonna get in trouble
if she doesn't watch out.Copy !req
27. I throwed enough trash for today, Cato.
I'll see you in the morning.Copy !req
28. Catch!Copy !req
29. What do you mean?Copy !req
30. Hi.Copy !req
31. I'm Kit.Copy !req
32. I'm not keepin' you
from anything important, am l?Copy !req
33. No.Copy !req
34. Just thought I'd come over
and say hello to you.Copy !req
35. I'll try anything once.Copy !req
36. What's your name? I said mine.Copy !req
37. Holly.Copy !req
38. Well listen, Holly...Copy !req
39. You, I don't know...
You want to take a walk with me?Copy !req
40. What for?Copy !req
41. I got some stuff to say.Copy !req
42. Guess I'm kind of lucky that way.Copy !req
43. Most people don't have anything
on their minds, do they?Copy !req
44. Incidentally, my last name is Carruthers.Copy !req
45. Sounds a little too much like "druthers."Copy !req
46. It's okay.Copy !req
47. Yeah, well nobody asked me
what I thought.Copy !req
48. They just hung it on me.Copy !req
49. You still in school?Copy !req
50. No, I got me a job.Copy !req
51. Doin' what?Copy !req
52. Well, I don't mind gettin' up early
so I got a job throwing garbage.Copy !req
53. Holly!Copy !req
54. I'm not in love with the stuff, okay?Copy !req
55. That's my father. I gotta run.Copy !req
56. Hey, wait!Copy !req
57. When am I gonna see you again?Copy !req
58. Well, I know what my daddy's gonna say.Copy !req
59. What?Copy !req
60. Can I be honest?Copy !req
61. Sure.Copy !req
62. Well, that I shouldn't be seen
with anybody that collects garbage.Copy !req
63. He'll say that?Copy !req
64. Yeah.Copy !req
65. Now what's he know about garbage?Copy !req
66. Nothin'.Copy !req
67. There you go.Copy !req
68. I mean, there's nothin' he wants to know.
I gotta run.Copy !req
69. Who was that?Copy !req
70. Just some boy.Copy !req
71. Is that gonna kill the grass?Copy !req
72. You got some on my feet!Copy !req
73. What'd he want?Copy !req
74. He was just askin' if we needed
any yard work done.Copy !req
75. I said, "No." And for him not to bother us.Copy !req
76. Heard the news, Kit?Copy !req
77. No.Copy !req
78. Been in all the headlines.Copy !req
79. What's that?Copy !req
80. You've been fired.Copy !req
81. Ain't that a hell of a note?Copy !req
82. Yeah, how about that?Copy !req
83. I wouldn't be needin' my keys anymore.Copy !req
84. I'll just leave 'em
where they'll be nice and handy.Copy !req
85. I've got my dog.Copy !req
86. Have you ever held another job before?Copy !req
87. Yeah, I used to throw trash for the city.Copy !req
88. And you lost that one?Copy !req
89. Yeah, I wouldn't be here if I hadn't.Copy !req
90. Why did you leave?Copy !req
91. Just felt like it.Copy !req
92. What kind of work do you think
you'd be qualified for?Copy !req
93. I just gotta get this.Copy !req
94. Well, I can't think of anything
at the moment.Copy !req
95. I want you to write me out a slip though,
provin' I came down here.Copy !req
96. I think we can get you something.
Workin' cattle over at the pens.Copy !req
97. Yeah, what the hell.Copy !req
98. Just hope there's a breeze.Copy !req
99. He was handsomer
than anybody I'd ever met.Copy !req
100. He looked just like James Dean.Copy !req
101. Hi.Copy !req
102. Well, stop the world.Copy !req
103. Hey, quit my job.Copy !req
104. Great.Copy !req
105. Seemed like the right move.
What'cha doing?Copy !req
106. Spanish.Copy !req
107. How do you say:
"Quit my job," in Spanish?Copy !req
108. Something... mi trabajo.Copy !req
109. Well, I'm goin' to work as a cowboy now.Copy !req
110. Thinkin' about it.Copy !req
111. It's a routine like anything.Copy !req
112. What do you think?Copy !req
113. I don't know.Copy !req
114. Yeah, well, at least nobody can get on me
about wearin' these boots anymore.Copy !req
115. You want to go for a ride?Copy !req
116. Well, I got homework.Copy !req
117. Bring it along.Copy !req
118. Somebody dropped a bag on the sidewalk.Copy !req
119. If everybody did that,
the whole town'd be a mess.Copy !req
120. Hi.Copy !req
121. You're a redhead.Copy !req
122. I know.Copy !req
123. Anybody ever call you "Red"?Copy !req
124. Yeah, but I don't like it.Copy !req
125. Why not?Copy !req
126. I just don't.Copy !req
127. I got a headache.Copy !req
128. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
129. Can I come around and see you tomorrow?Copy !req
130. Okay.Copy !req
131. Kit went to work in the feedlot
while I carried on with my studies.Copy !req
132. Little by little, we fell in love.Copy !req
133. As I'd never been popular in school,
and didn't have a lot of personality...Copy !req
134. I was surprised that he took
such a likin' to me.Copy !req
135. Especially when he could've had
any other girl...Copy !req
136. if he'd given it half a try.Copy !req
137. He said that I was grand, though.
He wasn't interested in me for sex...Copy !req
138. and that comin' from him,
this was a compliment.Copy !req
139. He'd never met a 15-year-old girl
who'd behaved like a grownup...Copy !req
140. and wasn't giggly.Copy !req
141. He didn't care what anybody else thought.Copy !req
142. I looked good to him
and whatever I did was okay.Copy !req
143. And if I didn't have a lot to say...Copy !req
144. well that was okay, too.Copy !req
145. What a nice place.Copy !req
146. Yeah, the tree makes it nice.Copy !req
147. And the flowers.Copy !req
148. Let's not pick 'em.Copy !req
149. They're so nice.Copy !req
150. It's your play.Copy !req
151. Of course, I had to keep all this a secret
from my dad.Copy !req
152. He would've had a fit
since Kit was ten years older than me...Copy !req
153. and came from the wrong side
of the tracks, so-called.Copy !req
154. Our time with each other was limited
and each lived for the precious hours...Copy !req
155. when he or she could be with the other,
away from all the cares of the world.Copy !req
156. My stomach's growling.Copy !req
157. There's an old Fudgesicle. You want it?Copy !req
158. No.Copy !req
159. Somebody else is gonna get it.Copy !req
160. I don't care.Copy !req
161. Kids eat that kind of stuff in Korea.Copy !req
162. In the stench and slime of the feedlot...Copy !req
163. he'd remember how I'd looked
the night before.Copy !req
164. How I ran my hand through his hair...Copy !req
165. and traced the outline of his lips
with my fingertip.Copy !req
166. He wanted to die with me, and I dreamed
of being lost forever in his arms.Copy !req
167. The whole time,
the only thing I did wrong...Copy !req
168. was throwing out my fish
when he got sick.Copy !req
169. Later I got a new one, but this incident
kept on bothering me and I turned to Kit.Copy !req
170. Well, he was sick, wasn't he?
Couldn't do much about that.Copy !req
171. I guess not.Copy !req
172. I didn't mind tellin' Kit
about stuff like this...Copy !req
173. 'cause strange things happened
in his life too.Copy !req
174. And some of the stuff he did was strange.Copy !req
175. For instance, he faked his signature
whenever he used it...Copy !req
176. to keep other people from forgin'
important papers with his name.Copy !req
177. And as he lay in bed,
in the middle of the night...Copy !req
178. he always heard a noise like somebody
was holdin' a seashell against his ear.Copy !req
179. And sometimes he'd see me comin'
toward him in beautiful white robes...Copy !req
180. and I'd put my cold hand on his forehead.Copy !req
181. Did it go the way it's supposed to?Copy !req
182. Yeah.Copy !req
183. Is that all there is to it?Copy !req
184. Yeah.Copy !req
185. Gosh, what was everybody talkin' about?Copy !req
186. Don't ask me.Copy !req
187. Well, I'm glad it's over.Copy !req
188. For a while I was afraid I might die
before it happened.Copy !req
189. Had a wreck or some deal like that.Copy !req
190. See where that tree fell in the water?Copy !req
191. Yeah.Copy !req
192. River must've washed the roots away.Copy !req
193. You don't care
about anything I say, though.Copy !req
194. - You know what I think?
- What?Copy !req
195. We should crunch our hands
with this stone.Copy !req
196. That way we'd never forget
what happened today.Copy !req
197. But it would hurt.Copy !req
198. Well, that's the point, stupid.Copy !req
199. Don't call me, "stupid."Copy !req
200. Okay, but I'm gonna keep it for a souvenir.Copy !req
201. Well, maybe one that's lighter.Copy !req
202. Kit made a solemn vow
that he would always stand beside me...Copy !req
203. and let nothin' come between us.Copy !req
204. He wrote this out in writing,
put the paper in a box...Copy !req
205. with some of our little tokens and things,
then sent it off in a balloon he'd found...Copy !req
206. while on the garbage route.Copy !req
207. His heart was filled with longin'
as he watched it drift off.Copy !req
208. Something must've told him...Copy !req
209. that we'd never live these days
of happiness again...Copy !req
210. that they were gone forever.Copy !req
211. Then, sure enough, Dad found out
I'd been runnin' around behind his back.Copy !req
212. He was madder than I'd ever seen him.Copy !req
213. As punishment for deceiving him,
he went and shot my dog.Copy !req
214. He made me take extra music lessons
every day after school...Copy !req
215. and wait there till he came
to pick me up.Copy !req
216. He said that if the piano
didn't keep me off the streets...Copy !req
217. maybe the clarinet would.Copy !req
218. Sure is pretty.Copy !req
219. What'd you come out here for?Copy !req
220. I wasn't aware there was
any law against it.Copy !req
221. You know, Holly...Copy !req
222. well, she means an awful lot to me, sir.Copy !req
223. You know, before I met her...Copy !req
224. nobody could ask me
how I was doin' with my girl.Copy !req
225. Matter of fact, I didn't really have one.Copy !req
226. Is that right?Copy !req
227. It okay me leanin' on your Willys here?Copy !req
228. I got a lot of respect for her, too, sir.Copy !req
229. It's about as good a one
as I know to tell you.Copy !req
230. It's not good enough.Copy !req
231. What do you think'll happen to her
if she stuck with you, Kit?Copy !req
232. A guy like you?Copy !req
233. She'd get along okay.Copy !req
234. And if she didn't, why...Copy !req
235. she could just take off.Copy !req
236. Just take right on off, I wouldn't mind.Copy !req
237. I'd always tell people I deserved it.Copy !req
238. I don't want you hangin' around anymore.Copy !req
239. I don't want to see you again.Copy !req
240. Understand?Copy !req
241. You're something.Copy !req
242. Takes all kinds, sir.Copy !req
243. Hi.Copy !req
244. What are you doing?Copy !req
245. I got a gun here, sir.Copy !req
246. Always a good idea to have one around.Copy !req
247. What do you think you're doin'?Copy !req
248. Go on, get out of here.Copy !req
249. I got it all planned.Copy !req
250. And...Copy !req
251. I'm takin' Holly off with me.Copy !req
252. Okay, boy...Copy !req
253. I'm turnin' you over to the authorities.Copy !req
254. What for?Copy !req
255. Comin' on my property...Copy !req
256. with a gun.Copy !req
257. No, you're not either.Copy !req
258. Yeah? Why not?Copy !req
259. 'Cause I can't allow it.Copy !req
260. Hey!Copy !req
261. Hey, wait a minute!Copy !req
262. Suppose I shot you?Copy !req
263. How'd that be?Copy !req
264. Want to hear what it sounds like?Copy !req
265. Kit! Kit!Copy !req
266. Where are you going?Copy !req
267. Wait!Copy !req
268. Daddy?Copy !req
269. This is Holly.Copy !req
270. Are you gonna be okay?Copy !req
271. I came in the front.Copy !req
272. How bad off is he?Copy !req
273. I can look and see.Copy !req
274. We better call the doctor.Copy !req
275. Listen, I'll say how it happened.
Part I saw.Copy !req
276. Well...Copy !req
277. I don't think that'd work.Copy !req
278. He don't need a doctor.Copy !req
279. Are you sure?Copy !req
280. If you don't believe me, see for yourself.Copy !req
281. I found a toaster.Copy !req
282. Don't worry, honey, I'll—Copy !req
283. Listen, maybe we ought
to tell somebody about this.Copy !req
284. You said that once already.Copy !req
285. Too late now.Copy !req
286. Why?Copy !req
287. They're not going to listen to me.Copy !req
288. You either. You kidding?Copy !req
289. Suppose the neighbors heard the noise?Copy !req
290. Wouldn't be funny.Copy !req
291. Listen...Copy !req
292. I'll be back after a while.Copy !req
293. You want to call the police, that's fine.Copy !req
294. Just won't be so hot for me.Copy !req
295. My girl, Holly, and I have decided
to kill ourselves.Copy !req
296. Same way I did her dad.Copy !req
297. Big decision.Copy !req
298. The reasons are obvious.Copy !req
299. Now, I don't have time
to go into 'em right now.Copy !req
300. But, one thing though:Copy !req
301. He was provokin' me when I popped him.Copy !req
302. That's what it was like, pop!Copy !req
303. Now we're sorry.Copy !req
304. I mean, nobody's comin' out
of this thing happy, especially not us.Copy !req
305. I can't deny we've had fun though.Copy !req
306. And...Copy !req
307. that's more than I can say for some.Copy !req
308. That's the end of the message.
I ran out of things to say.Copy !req
309. Thank you.Copy !req
310. My girl, Holly, and I have decided
to kill ourselves.Copy !req
311. Same way I did her dad.Copy !req
312. Kit left the record playin' over and over
for the district attorney to find.Copy !req
313. He was gamblin' for time.Copy !req
314. "When Jesus walked into the gardenCopy !req
315. "And his suffering beganCopy !req
316. "Everything mourned that was thereCopy !req
317. "Even the foliage and the green grass:Copy !req
318. "Mary held a small bell, ringingCopy !req
319. "Oh my, oh my darling childCopy !req
320. "Oh how, oh how my heart is breakingCopy !req
321. "My son, my son, I am losing youCopy !req
322. "Mary went to the CrossCopy !req
323. "She saw her dear child hanging before herCopy !req
324. "There he was hanging on a crossCopy !req
325. "Mary's heart was in pain"Copy !req
326. Kit made me get my books from school
so I wouldn't fall behind.Copy !req
327. We'd be startin' a new life, he said,
and we'd have to change our names.Copy !req
328. His name would be James,
mine would be Priscilla.Copy !req
329. We'd hide out like spies
somewhere in the North...Copy !req
330. where people didn't ask
a lot of questions.Copy !req
331. I could've snuck out the back
or hid in the boiler room I suppose.Copy !req
332. But I sensed that my destiny now lay
with Kit, for better or for worse.Copy !req
333. And that it was better to spend a week
with one who loved me for what I was...Copy !req
334. than years of loneliness.Copy !req
335. How're you doing?Copy !req
336. I'm fine.Copy !req
337. Kind of tired.Copy !req
338. Yeah, me too.Copy !req
339. We hid out in the wilderness
down by a river in a grove of cottonwoods.Copy !req
340. It bein' the flood season,
we built our house in the trees...Copy !req
341. with tamarisk walls and willows laid
side by side to make a floor.Copy !req
342. There wasn't a plant in the forest
that didn't come in handy.Copy !req
343. We planned a huge network of tunnels
under the forest floor.Copy !req
344. Our first order of business every morning...Copy !req
345. was to decide on our new password
for the day.Copy !req
346. Now and then we'd sneak out at night
and steal a chicken or some corn...Copy !req
347. or some melons from a melon patch.Copy !req
348. Mostly, though, we just lay on our backs
and stared at the clouds.Copy !req
349. And sometimes it was like bein'
in a big marble hall...Copy !req
350. the way we talked in low voices
and heard the tiniest sound.Copy !req
351. They hadn't found but one set of bones
in the ashes of the house...Copy !req
352. so we knew they'd be looking for us.Copy !req
353. Kit made sure we'd be prepared.Copy !req
354. He gave me lectures on how a gun works.Copy !req
355. How to take it apart
and put it back together again...Copy !req
356. in case I had to carry on without him.Copy !req
357. He said that if the Devil came at me,
I could shoot him with a gun.Copy !req
358. One day, I carried 30 pounds of wood
a distance of five miles.Copy !req
359. Another day, while hiding in the forest,
I covered my eyes with makeup...Copy !req
360. to see how they'd come out.Copy !req
361. "LoveCopy !req
362. "Love is strangeCopy !req
363. "Lot of peopleCopy !req
364. "Take it for a game"Copy !req
365. We had our bad moments like any couple.Copy !req
366. Kit accused me of only bein' along
for the ride.Copy !req
367. While, at times, I wished he'd fall
in the river and drown, so I could watch.Copy !req
368. Take a break, Red.Copy !req
369. Life of Riley.Copy !req
370. Mostly, though, we got along fine
and stayed in love.Copy !req
371. One of the chickens died last night.Copy !req
372. I almost stepped on him.Copy !req
373. "The Kon-Tiki's motion was different...Copy !req
374. "... from what it usually was
in such conditions.Copy !req
375. "We had become sensitive to changes
in the rhythm of the logs.Copy !req
376. "I thought of the suction from the coast,
which was drawing near...Copy !req
377. "... and was continually on the deck
and up the mast."Copy !req
378. He was nervous.Copy !req
379. "Time passed. At dawn, just before 6:00...Copy !req
380. "... Terstein came hurrying down
from the masthead.Copy !req
381. "He could see a whole line of small,
palm-clad islands far ahead."Copy !req
382. I grew to love the forest.Copy !req
383. The cooin' of the doves and the hum
of the dragonflies in the air...Copy !req
384. made it always seem lonesome
and like everybody's dead and gone.Copy !req
385. When the leaves rustled overhead
it was like the spirits were whispering...Copy !req
386. about all the little things
that bothered them.Copy !req
387. One day, while taking a look
at some vistas in Dad's stereopticon...Copy !req
388. it hit me that I was just this little girl,
born in Texas...Copy !req
389. whose father was a sign painter,
who had only just so man-years to live.Copy !req
390. Sent a chill down my spine and I thought:Copy !req
391. Where would I be this very moment...Copy !req
392. if Kit had never met me?Copy !req
393. Or killed anybody?Copy !req
394. This very moment.Copy !req
395. If my mom had never met my dad.Copy !req
396. If she'd never died.Copy !req
397. And what's the man I'll marry
gonna look like?Copy !req
398. What's he doin' right this minute?Copy !req
399. Is he thinkin' about me now,
by some coincidence...Copy !req
400. even though he doesn't know me?Copy !req
401. Does it show on his face?Copy !req
402. For days afterward I lived in dread.Copy !req
403. Sometimes I wished I could fall asleep
and be taken off to some magical land...Copy !req
404. but this never happened.Copy !req
405. "I know the starsCopy !req
406. "And I know the treesCopy !req
407. "I know the flowersCopy !req
408. "And I set the breeze"Copy !req
409. "The door is closed,
We can't go inCopy !req
410. "The door is closed,
We can't go inCopy !req
411. "Inside lives a rich one,
We don't like him, noCopy !req
412. "The door is closed,
We can't go inCopy !req
413. "The door is closed,
We can't go inCopy !req
414. "Inside lives a rich one,
We don't like him, no!"Copy !req
415. What?Copy !req
416. Get out of here! Run!Copy !req
417. Somebody's coming!Copy !req
418. Hide!Copy !req
419. Holly!Copy !req
420. Get in the car, Red.Copy !req
421. We don't need this.Copy !req
422. Kit felt bad about shootin' those men
in the back.Copy !req
423. But he said they came in
and would have played it...Copy !req
424. as down and dirty as they could.Copy !req
425. And besides, he'd overheard 'em
whisperin' about...Copy !req
426. how they were only interested
in the reward money.Copy !req
427. With lawmen it would've been different.Copy !req
428. They were out there to get a job done
and they deserved a fair chance.Copy !req
429. But not a bounty hunter.Copy !req
430. We went to hide out with a friend of Kit's
from the days of the garbage route.Copy !req
431. How you doing, Cato?Copy !req
432. Not bad.Copy !req
433. Take that son of a bitch.Copy !req
434. What you been doing?Copy !req
435. Runnin' this place for a fella in town.Copy !req
436. Nothin' much to speak of.Copy !req
437. Well, I don't notice us hustlin' trash, either.Copy !req
438. Where'd you get them antlers?Copy !req
439. They come with the house.Copy !req
440. Well, Cato...Copy !req
441. I want you to meet my girl...Copy !req
442. Holly Sargis.Copy !req
443. Hi.Copy !req
444. Did you hear about the guy at the nuthouse
that walked around naked...Copy !req
445. except for hat and gloves?Copy !req
446. And this nurse come up to him and said,
"Hey, you can't walk around that way."Copy !req
447. And the guy says, "Well, it's okay.
Nobody comes around here anyway."Copy !req
448. And the nurse says:Copy !req
449. "Well what do you have on
the hat and gloves for?"Copy !req
450. And the guy says, "Well, you never know."Copy !req
451. Isn't that funny?Copy !req
452. Yeah, I guess.Copy !req
453. She plays the clarinet, too.Copy !req
454. - Don't you get bored around here?
- Well...Copy !req
455. sometimes.Copy !req
456. The other day though...Copy !req
457. an old boy plowin' the field over there...Copy !req
458. found some old coins.Copy !req
459. Some old Spanish coins.Copy !req
460. That's what he told you?Copy !req
461. Nope, no.Copy !req
462. He showed me one.Copy !req
463. What'd they look like?Copy !req
464. Kind of round, like so.Copy !req
465. Gold.Copy !req
466. Where at?Copy !req
467. Right over in that field over there.Copy !req
468. I'll show you if you want.Copy !req
469. Let me finish my supper.Copy !req
470. Well, we're thinkin' of goin' down to Texas.Copy !req
471. Holly wants to visit
some of her people down there.Copy !req
472. But after that, I don't know.Copy !req
473. They say Mexico's nice.Copy !req
474. Kit, maybe I better get a shovel.Copy !req
475. Okay.Copy !req
476. I'll catch up with you.Copy !req
477. Okay.Copy !req
478. I found a lid.
It was layin' on the ground over there.Copy !req
479. Put that down, it's dirty.Copy !req
480. You missed!Copy !req
481. You're a piss-ass!Copy !req
482. Hey, you're throwin' big ones!Copy !req
483. Cato!Copy !req
484. The shovel's in the truck.Copy !req
485. Kit never let on why he shot Cato.Copy !req
486. He said that just talkin' about it
could bring us bad luck...Copy !req
487. and that right now we needed
all the luck we could get.Copy !req
488. You never told me about her.Copy !req
489. Look at all this junk.Copy !req
490. How's he doing?Copy !req
491. I got him in the stomach.Copy !req
492. Is he upset?Copy !req
493. He didn't say anything to me about it.Copy !req
494. Bunch of junk.Copy !req
495. He stole that cage.Copy !req
496. I saw him do it.Copy !req
497. What'cha lookin' in there for?
Can't afford any of that.Copy !req
498. I'm just looking.Copy !req
499. Why don't you go in there
and keep him company for a while?Copy !req
500. Hi.Copy !req
501. Is that your spider in there?Copy !req
502. In that bottle?Copy !req
503. Yeah.Copy !req
504. What did you feed him?Copy !req
505. Flies...Copy !req
506. grasshoppers when I can catch 'em.Copy !req
507. Does he bite?Copy !req
508. He never bit me.Copy !req
509. Hi.Copy !req
510. Hi.Copy !req
511. Where's Cato?Copy !req
512. Well, he's gone.Copy !req
513. - Gone?
- Yeah.Copy !req
514. Where?Copy !req
515. He said not to tell.Copy !req
516. Yeah?Copy !req
517. He said for you to give us a lift into town.Copy !req
518. You're the ones with the Studebaker,
aren't you?Copy !req
519. I need to pick up something in the house.Copy !req
520. I can't allow that.Copy !req
521. What?Copy !req
522. If you go in there, I'll have to kill you.Copy !req
523. What's goin' on?Copy !req
524. Can't afford to take chances.Copy !req
525. Come out of there, young lady.Copy !req
526. Let's us go out in this field here.
Come on. Skip that.Copy !req
527. I'm gonna have to keep my eye
on you though.Copy !req
528. Okay.Copy !req
529. You don't mind?Copy !req
530. Hi.Copy !req
531. What's gonna happen to Jack and me?Copy !req
532. Have to ask Kit.Copy !req
533. He says, "frog," I jump.Copy !req
534. Okay.Copy !req
535. What's your friend's name?Copy !req
536. Jack.Copy !req
537. You love him?Copy !req
538. I don't know.Copy !req
539. I gotta stick by Kit. He feels trapped.Copy !req
540. Yeah, I can imagine.Copy !req
541. Well, I've felt that way, hadn't you?Copy !req
542. Okay, come on you two, down in the cellar.Copy !req
543. Go on.Copy !req
544. Hey.Copy !req
545. - Promise to stay down there for an hour?
- Yeah.Copy !req
546. You expect me to believe that?Copy !req
547. Yeah.Copy !req
548. I'm gonna shut the door.Copy !req
549. - Think I got 'em?
- I don't know.Copy !req
550. Well, I'm not goin' down there and look.Copy !req
551. Suddenly I was thrown
into a state of shock.Copy !req
552. Kit was the most trigger-happy person
I'd ever met.Copy !req
553. He claimed that as long as you're playin'
for keeps, and the law is comin at you...Copy !req
554. it's considered okay
to shoot all witnesses.Copy !req
555. You had to take the consequences,
though, and not whine about it later.Copy !req
556. He never seemed like
a violent person before...Copy !req
557. except for once, when he said
he'd like to rub out a few guys...Copy !req
558. whose names he didn't care to mention.Copy !req
559. It all goes to show
how you can know a person...Copy !req
560. and not really know him
at the same time.Copy !req
561. We're in for it now.Copy !req
562. If they catch us.Copy !req
563. What'd you put him in there for?Copy !req
564. Just to keep him out of the sun.Copy !req
565. At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear,
but just kind of blah...Copy !req
566. like when you're sittin' there
and all the water's run out of the bathtub.Copy !req
567. You tired?Copy !req
568. Yeah.Copy !req
569. Yeah, you look tired.Copy !req
570. Listen, honey, when all this is over...Copy !req
571. I'm gonna sit down
and buy you a thick steak.Copy !req
572. I don't want a steak.Copy !req
573. Yeah, well, we'll see about that.Copy !req
574. Hey, look.Copy !req
575. They're probably gonna blame that
on me too.Copy !req
576. Bastards.Copy !req
577. The whole country was out lookin' for us,
for who knew where Kit would strike next?Copy !req
578. Sidewalks cleared out.Copy !req
579. Stores closed their doors
and drew their blinds.Copy !req
580. Posses and vigilante committees
were set up from Texas to South Dakota.Copy !req
581. Children rode back and forth to school
under heavy guard.Copy !req
582. A famous detective was brought in
from Boston.Copy !req
583. He could find no clues.Copy !req
584. People left their lights on
when they went to sleep.Copy !req
585. My clarinet teacher said I probably
wasn't responsible, but others said I was.Copy !req
586. Then, on Thursday,
the governor of Oklahoma sent out...Copy !req
587. the National Guard to stand watch
at the Federal Reserve Bank in Tulsa...Copy !req
588. when word got out
that Kit meant to rob it.Copy !req
589. It was like the Russians had invaded.Copy !req
590. We needed supplies,
so we went to a rich man's house.Copy !req
591. Kit figured it'd be safer and quicker
than shoppin' in the downtown.Copy !req
592. A maid came to the door.Copy !req
593. Hi. I'm here to check your meter.
My tools are in here.Copy !req
594. This is Holly. She's from Texas.Copy !req
595. Later we found out she was deaf
and we hadn't even known it.Copy !req
596. Excuse me.Copy !req
597. Hi.Copy !req
598. Yes?Copy !req
599. This is your place?Copy !req
600. Yes.Copy !req
601. Sorry to barge in on you.Copy !req
602. Anyone else here besides you two?Copy !req
603. No.Copy !req
604. Good deal.Copy !req
605. We're on the run.Copy !req
606. And...Copy !req
607. We'd like to hang out here for a while,
couple hours maybe. How'd that be?Copy !req
608. Stay as long as you like.Copy !req
609. Next time I ring that means
it's time to clear out.Copy !req
610. I left Kit in the parlor and went for a stroll
outside the house.Copy !req
611. The day was quiet and serene but
I didn't notice, for I was deep in thought...Copy !req
612. and not even thinking
about how to slip off.Copy !req
613. The world was like a faraway planet
to which I could never return.Copy !req
614. I thought what a fine place it was...Copy !req
615. full of things that people can look into
and enjoy.Copy !req
616. Listen to your parents and teachers.Copy !req
617. They got a line on most things,
so don't treat 'em like enemies.Copy !req
618. There's always an outside chance
you could learn something.Copy !req
619. Try to keep an open mind.Copy !req
620. Try to understand the viewpoints of others.Copy !req
621. Consider the minority opinion...Copy !req
622. but try to get along with the majority
of opinion once it's accepted.Copy !req
623. Of course, Holly and I have had fun
even if it has been rushed.Copy !req
624. And...Copy !req
625. so far, we're doin' fine.Copy !req
626. Hadn't got caught.Copy !req
627. Excuse the grammar.Copy !req
628. Hi.Copy !req
629. Kit's downstairs playin'
with the dictaphone.Copy !req
630. Sometimes he acts like
there's somethin' wrong with his bean.Copy !req
631. Hope nothin' ever goes wrong with mine.Copy !req
632. You think he's crazy?Copy !req
633. I don't know, he's kind of odd.Copy !req
634. They claim I've got him wrapped
around my little finger.Copy !req
635. But I never told him to shoot anybody.Copy !req
636. - Gosh, I like your house.
- Thank you.Copy !req
637. Hi.Copy !req
638. Hi, Mr. Scarborough here?Copy !req
639. Yeah. The thing about him,
he's down with the flu. He's sick.Copy !req
640. Really?Copy !req
641. Yeah. I'd invite you inside
except it's contagious.Copy !req
642. Don't want to start an epidemic.Copy !req
643. No, of course not.Copy !req
644. It's only, he called last night...Copy !req
645. and asked if I'd come by.Copy !req
646. He didn't have it last night.Copy !req
647. What's that?Copy !req
648. Well, I'd like to leave a message...Copy !req
649. if that's okay.Copy !req
650. Sure.Copy !req
651. You have to excuse me now.Copy !req
652. I have to go back inside.Copy !req
653. 'Bye.Copy !req
654. Hey, Tex, we're out of here!Copy !req
655. Hi! What'cha doing?Copy !req
656. Just thinking.Copy !req
657. Good a way to kill time as any.Copy !req
658. She okay?Copy !req
659. Yes.Copy !req
660. Good.Copy !req
661. We're gonna take the Cadillac for a while.Copy !req
662. - How'd that be?
- Fine.Copy !req
663. Don't worry, I won't let her drive.Copy !req
664. Here's a list of everything I borrowed.
Car's on there, too.Copy !req
665. Okay, ma'am, let's go, out that way.Copy !req
666. Go on.Copy !req
667. You're my friend, aren't you?Copy !req
668. Okay, no monkey business now.Copy !req
669. Groceries.Copy !req
670. That guy could sell that list I gave him
as a sample of my handwriting.Copy !req
671. Why're you always walkin' ahead of me?Copy !req
672. Well, why are you always walkin'
behind me?Copy !req
673. Don't.Copy !req
674. - Anybody ever done that to you before?
- No.Copy !req
675. Positive?Copy !req
676. Yes.Copy !req
677. Guess there's no way
I'll ever know for sure.Copy !req
678. That guy must pay through the nose
to keep this place up.Copy !req
679. Lawn, gas and electric.Copy !req
680. Bagworms.Copy !req
681. Plus the upkeep on the cars.Copy !req
682. You get a little money in your pocket
and you think all your problems are solved.Copy !req
683. Well, let me tell you. They're not.Copy !req
684. I'd like to get out of here.Copy !req
685. Soon as I start the car.Copy !req
686. And fix my hat.Copy !req
687. Fearin' there'd be roadblocks
on the highways...Copy !req
688. we took off across that region
known as the Great Plains.Copy !req
689. Kit told me to enjoy the scenery and I did.Copy !req
690. "Pat Boone is seriously
considering giving up his career...Copy !req
691. "... so he can return to school full-time
and complete his education.Copy !req
692. "Pat has told intimates
that so long as things are going well...Copy !req
693. "... for his career, it's the education
that will have to take a back seat."Copy !req
694. I don't blame him.Copy !req
695. "Frank Sinatra
and Rita Hayworth are in love.Copy !req
696. "True. But not with each other."Copy !req
697. Yeah.Copy !req
698. Through the desert and mesa,
across endless miles of open range...Copy !req
699. we made our headlong way...Copy !req
700. steering by the telephone lines
toward the mountains of Montana.Copy !req
701. Kit'd sometimes ram a cow
to save on ammo and we'd cook it.Copy !req
702. Once we had to eat a bunch of salt grass.Copy !req
703. It tasted like cabbage.Copy !req
704. For gas we used the leakage
from the valves of the pipelines...Copy !req
705. we found along the way.Copy !req
706. "Drip gas" is what it's called
in that part of the country.Copy !req
707. Little by little, we approached the border.Copy !req
708. Kit was glad to leave South Dakota behind
and cursed its name.Copy !req
709. He said that if Communists ever dropped
the atomic bomb...Copy !req
710. he wished they'd put it right
in the middle of Rapid City.Copy !req
711. That's Montana over there.Copy !req
712. I never been to Montana.Copy !req
713. Acquaintance of mine's been there,
but I hadn't.Copy !req
714. Never had any reason to.Copy !req
715. State bird's the meadowlark.Copy !req
716. We lived in utter loneliness,
neither here nor there.Copy !req
717. Kit said that "solitude" was a better word,
'cause it meant more exactly...Copy !req
718. what I wanted to say.Copy !req
719. Whatever the expression, I told him
we couldn't go on livin' this way.Copy !req
720. Why not?Copy !req
721. I mean, I'm havin' fun.
At least I'm not bitchin'.Copy !req
722. Well, I feel kind of like an animal
livin' out here.Copy !req
723. There's no place to bathe and...Copy !req
724. not any place to get anything
good to eat.Copy !req
725. Well, I'll catch you a big trout
soon as we get to the mountains.Copy !req
726. Everybody loves trout.Copy !req
727. I'm serious.Copy !req
728. In the distance, I saw a train
makin' its way silently across the plain...Copy !req
729. like the caravan
in The Adventures of Marco Polo.Copy !req
730. It was our first taste of civilization
in weeks...Copy !req
731. and I asked Kit
if we could have a closer look.Copy !req
732. Before we left, he shot a football
that he considered excess baggage.Copy !req
733. Afterwards, he took and buried
some of our things in a bucket.Copy !req
734. He said that nobody else would know
where we put 'em...Copy !req
735. and we'd come back someday,
maybe, and they'd still be sittin' here...Copy !req
736. just the same, but we'd be different.Copy !req
737. And if we never got back, well...Copy !req
738. somebody might dig 'em up 1,000 years
from now, and wouldn't they wonder.Copy !req
739. Maybe we should've tried to hop it.Copy !req
740. It was goin' too fast.Copy !req
741. I could've pulled the car up on the tracks,
slowed it down some.Copy !req
742. Yeah, then we'd be stuck here.Copy !req
743. Well, maybe we ought to be stuck here.Copy !req
744. I'm not saying I know.Copy !req
745. You're crazy.Copy !req
746. Kit took the bottle and spun it around...Copy !req
747. leaving to fate which direction
we should take.Copy !req
748. Maybe the slope is throwin' it off some.Copy !req
749. We ought to find a more flat place.Copy !req
750. How about over here?Copy !req
751. Forget it, it doesn't matter.Copy !req
752. If I'm worth a damn,
I'll pick the right direction.Copy !req
753. If I'm not, well, I don't care.
See what I mean?Copy !req
754. No.Copy !req
755. Well, I shouldn't expect miracles, should l?Copy !req
756. We'll keep on headin' for that mountain.Copy !req
757. Just remember,
I said it wasn't such a hot idea.Copy !req
758. We took off at sunset, on a line
toward the mountains of Saskatchewan...Copy !req
759. for Kit, a magical land
beyond the reach of the law.Copy !req
760. He needed me now, more than ever,
but something had come between us.Copy !req
761. I stopped even payin' attention to him.Copy !req
762. Instead I sat in the car and read a map
and spelled out entire sentences...Copy !req
763. with my tongue on the roof of my mouth
where nobody could read 'em.Copy !req
764. That night we moved closer to the border.Copy !req
765. And clear across the prairie
at the very edge of the horizon...Copy !req
766. we could make out the gas fires
at the refineries at Missoula...Copy !req
767. while to the south,
we could see the lights of Cheyenne...Copy !req
768. a city bigger and grander
than I'd ever seen.Copy !req
769. I felt all kind of things lookin' at the lights
of Cheyenne, but most important...Copy !req
770. I made up my mind to never again
tag around with the hell-bent type...Copy !req
771. no matter how in love with him I was.Copy !req
772. Finally, I found the strength to tell Kit this.Copy !req
773. I pointed out that even if we got to the
far North, he still couldn't make a living.Copy !req
774. I can get a job with the Mounties.Copy !req
775. Northwest Mounties.Copy !req
776. Hell, I got all the qualifications.Copy !req
777. I can ride and shoot...Copy !req
778. and...Copy !req
779. I don't mind the cold.Copy !req
780. Matter of fact, I like the cold.Copy !req
781. What?Copy !req
782. Nothing.Copy !req
783. I was just runnin' off at the mouth.Copy !req
784. As usual.Copy !req
785. I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.Copy !req
786. Hey, man, don't lip it.Copy !req
787. Well...Copy !req
788. you know, they'd probably ask
to see your driver's license...Copy !req
789. before they'd hire you.Copy !req
790. Well, I'm not gonna let that stop me.Copy !req
791. - You smoke Pall Mall?
- Yeah.Copy !req
792. You haven't seen me when I'm goin'
after something, honey.Copy !req
793. Tough.Copy !req
794. Hey, don't touch that! Nat King Cole!Copy !req
795. "You turned to meCopy !req
796. "The gypsies say, and I know whyCopy !req
797. "A falling blossomCopy !req
798. "Only touches lips that lieCopy !req
799. "A blossom fellCopy !req
800. "And very soonCopy !req
801. "I saw you kissing someone newCopy !req
802. "Beneath the moonCopy !req
803. "I thought you loved me"Copy !req
804. If I could sing a song like that...Copy !req
805. "You said you loved me"Copy !req
806. If I could sing a song
about the way I feel now...Copy !req
807. "We planned together, to dream forever"Copy !req
808. it'd be a hit.Copy !req
809. "The dream has endedCopy !req
810. "For true love diedCopy !req
811. "The night a blossom fellCopy !req
812. "And touched two lips that lied"Copy !req
813. Kit knew the end was coming.Copy !req
814. He wondered if he'd hear
the doctor pronounce him dead...Copy !req
815. or if he'd be able to read what the papers
would say about him the next day...Copy !req
816. from the other side.Copy !req
817. He dreaded the idea
of being shot down alone, he said...Copy !req
818. without a girl to scream out his name.Copy !req
819. Then, for an instant, the sight
of the mountains in the dawn light...Copy !req
820. got his hopes back up.Copy !req
821. God, what a sight.Copy !req
822. Hey, tell me this, hon.Copy !req
823. What's a little Texas girl like yourself
think of a sight like that?Copy !req

872. You want any of that junk, it's yours.Copy !req
873. Many times I've wondered what was goin'
through Kit's head before they got him...Copy !req
874. and why he didn't make a run for it
while he still had the chance.Copy !req
875. Did he figure they'd just catch him
the next day?Copy !req
876. Was it despair?Copy !req
877. He claimed to havin' a flat tire...Copy !req
878. but the way he carried on about it
I imagine this is false.Copy !req
879. Hi.Copy !req
880. Hold it right there.Copy !req
881. I could've held off an army if I'd got
behind a boulder in the mountains.Copy !req

884. Right there is where you caught me.Copy !req

908. They're okay.Copy !req
909. Then why'd you do it?Copy !req

Suppose I could get a coke while I do?Copy !req
946. Sure thing.Copy !req
947. Come on.Copy !req
948. - You boys keep out of trouble.
- Don't worry about us.Copy !req

950. Sure.Copy !req
951. I gave him the papers to sign.
Don't let him get into trouble.Copy !req
952. You want to give me a little slack there?Copy !req
953. Hi.Copy !req

976. Come on, Red.Copy !req
977. Kit and I were taken back to South Dakota.Copy !req
978. They kept him in solitary...Copy !req
979. so he didn't have a chance
to get to know the other inmates...Copy !req
980. though he was sure they'd like him,
especially the murderers.Copy !req
981. Myself, I got off with probation
and a lot of nasty looks.Copy !req
982. Later, I married the son of the lawyer
who defended me.Copy !req
983. Kit went to sleep in the courtroom
while his confession was bein' read...Copy !req
984. and he was sentenced to die
in the electric chair.Copy !req
985. On a warm, spring night,
six months later...Copy !req
986. after donatin' his body to science, he did.Copy !req

988. Where'd you get that hat?Copy !req
989. State.Copy !req
990. Boy, I'd like to buy me one of them.Copy !req
