(09:34):
I won't be long mad, I can't Hello, Kitty, Hello, Matt.
Who's your friend? His name's Nick Search, Kitty, So that's
Nick Search. Oh you've heard of me? A couple of

(09:56):
Texans we're talking about him the other day. Who were
those men?

Speaker 6 (09:59):
K I never said the names Matt. They were sure
talking about nixt.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Search next an old friend of mine his and I
think those.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Men were lying, well, I hope so for your sake.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Oh why for my sake?

Speaker 6 (10:19):
He's an old friend of yours.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's not what you meant, kiddy.

Speaker 9 (10:26):
No.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
They also said he's pretty fast with a gun.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah he is. And so if I back Aim up here,
then that's gonna look like I'm doing it because I'm
afraid of him. Huh.

Speaker 6 (10:42):
Not to me, you know that.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, But the most everybody.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
Else I don't know Matt here it comes Sam's bringing
him over.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh hello, Marshall. Hello son, Marshall.

Speaker 10 (10:57):
I seen you come in with Search here, so I
figured you must know him.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
I won't, he admitted, I don't like mixing friends with business.
You don't have no choice this time, Search not if
you want a deal in a long branch. What is it, Sam?
Those two Texans and their stories. H I heard and
we all heard.

Speaker 8 (11:21):
Probably a couple of saddle bums lost their paying an
honest game, and now they blamed.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
The dealer for it. It happened every day, I know that.

Speaker 10 (11:28):
But they they said other things about you, like what
where you can handle a gun?

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Marshall, you are a.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Good friend of this man. You want me to say
it's okay for him to deal here? Now, wait a minute.
If Matt's got to get involved, I can go someplace else.
That's all right, Nick, I don't mind it. Well, what
do you say, Marshall? Yes, Sam, I'll vouch for him.
I run clean games here and I run a clean

(11:57):
town here.

Speaker 10 (11:58):
Alright.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
How the Marshall's words?

Speaker 10 (12:01):
Search, you can open your game the night.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Oh good, Come on, man, let me buy you that
drink and I'll I'll see you later.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Ki ye. What's the matter of Sam?

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Oh? Oh, it's nothing, kiddy.

Speaker 10 (12:20):
Wise, It's just hate to think Marshall Dylan's standing up
for that fellow for the wrong reason.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Started with Sam Nonan Before long everybody got to thinking
I was backing up Nick Search because I was afraid
of him. I talked to Nick about it, but he laughed.
He said there were as many fools and dodge as
any place would ever been. Maybe he was right. Anyway,
after a month pasted without any complaints about his deal,

(12:56):
and I began to forget it. So when I knowing,
when Chester and I were taking our ease on the
fort in front of my office, Mister.

Speaker 3 (13:05):

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Of course I have Chester.

about to tell me.

Speaker 3 (13:18):

to live with. He was born on a place called
Bingo Bay in Ireland.

Well, sir, he told me never shoot a Irishman.

one of 'em, then he'll be your friend for life.
But he warned me about that too, He said, be careful,
never punch one of 'em in the face.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
It's give him a good whack in the belly, and
then a little child could whip me.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
