Speaker 3 (03:57):
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
He's this is Spiney Murphy's dog, and Chester, I'm gonna
keep him, mister Nolan, I said, this is Spiney Murphy's
dog and.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Looks more like a wolf dog.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Chester. Mister, does Spiny Murphy know that you got his dog?

Speaker 4 (04:23):
Well?

Speaker 3 (04:23):
I mean, I don't know what will you talk it
out of here?

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Let the man prostitute his talents and peace.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Take it easy, dog.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I got me a name for him.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
How that's very original, Chester, go on, wait outside the
both of your.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Dog guy here.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
You know, Chester, this could spell trouble for you. You know,
miss Murphy beats up on Spiny every time. And well,
Myles told me yesterday that Spiny.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
Was in this store and she beat up on him again.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Miles said he could hardly walk.

Speaker 8 (04:58):
She does know, mean woman, ain't she? I don't know
how any man stays married do one like that?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
That's not the point, Chester, it ain't. Spiney got that
dog for protection from her.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I've been wanting me a dog for a long time,
as I know.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
But don't take that one.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Yeah, but if Spiny poisoning, then he don't deserve me.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Maybe it wasn't Spiny, Well, maybe it was his wife.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Well are you saying I shouldn't have tried to save him?

Speaker 2 (05:25):
No, you'd have to do that. But you expect her
to thank you when you bring him back.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Well, she's not. I'm gonna len him. She wouldn't get
after me, would she.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
She will if you bring the dog back, and I
will if you don't.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Good boy, that's about.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
How about dogs too? Oh you got him on.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
His feet already, Yes, thats chester.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
I sent him out for the mail.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Oh that's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
He's been hounding me all morning about this.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
If he found I wouldn't let him see me.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
He's been after me too. That's why I had to
get rid of him. How are you, boy? Were you
gonna keep him?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Then?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
How are you? Boy? I were not?

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Now, why didn't you wash him up?

Speaker 3 (06:18):
So wash her? Wash him up some.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
It was bad enough just working on him without trying
to wash him up.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, he's friendly enough. Why'd your boy? Oh dog really smiles?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Yes, Why do you think I brought him down here?

Speaker 2 (06:34):
I'm gonna put him out in the cell section. Come on,
but come on, that's what that's a book? Is this?
The roker was on him.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Ah, I guess I was.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Somebody must have been really afraid he'd get away. Going now,
going on there, I.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Said, you're kind of unfair to your prisoners, aren't.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
You, man, Or they can complain the chest.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
There wasn't more mail down there, there was dog. What

And I'm gonna try to put a stop to that.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Ms. Murphy don't seem to be the appeasing kind.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
If you ask me, maybe I can get Spiny that
prefers saw charges. I gotst her this time.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Now you know he won't do that. He's a scare
to her.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
And if it was a case a wife beating, I'd
be jailing at him without charges.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
And I guess you would have that riccas mister don't.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, the smoke coming up somebody's home. Let's leave our

Speaker 6 (09:30):
Oh, you don't need to lie to me, Marshall, Dylan,

Speaker 6 (09:47):
And if he was to show up now, I do
it all over sweating to stick that dog on me
the way he did worse spiny Man. I don't know,
but you'd better find him and bring him back.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
I thought you were finished with it.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Oh, it's not like.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
That at all, Marshall.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
I kind of missed the little fellow.

Speaker 6 (10:05):
We've been fighting it out on these planes for fifteen
years now.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I think you've gone too far this time. What do
you mean, Miles mctagg told me Spany can hardly walk.
When he came out for supplies the other.

Speaker 6 (10:16):
Day, supplies. I didn't send him for no supplies.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Miles said. He bought enough that gave him a month.

Speaker 6 (10:23):
Then he's holed up somewhere, the gutless little wheat.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Maybe he has had enough, and you'd.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
Better be finding him and sending him home before I
bring charges against him charges.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
What for desertion? What hell desertion?

Speaker 3 (10:36):
And when you do find him.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Tell him to come back and act like a man
for a change.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
If I find him, if you.

Speaker 6 (10:44):
Find him, oh, Marshal, the man you are. I can't
tell a man when I see one. Oh Marshall, dear,
come in and have a drink.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Huh uh No, no thanks, Marl.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
We got a big dead ah that's Spiny. Won't even
touch the stuff, and I missed the companionship of a
friend to share it with.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well some other time, mall. Huh, when Spiney's back, If
it's him.

Speaker 6 (11:11):
You're worrying about, you could spit in his eye and
drown him.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Cluck, Mile, They're just one thing. I want to tell you. You
treat Spiny right when he comes back, or I'll have
to do something.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
About it he comes back a man, I'll consider it,
mister noon pal Chester, you take the dog and welcome
to him.

Speaker 2 (11:30):

Speaker 2 (12:32):
All right, Matt.

Speaker 6 (12:37):
I here. Chester's got Spiney's dog.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Well, either lad of the dog's got him, I'm not
sure which he told me.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
He's put him in his cell over there, and he's
training him like Spiney.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Did Chester training. You don't sound convinced, Ketty. That dog
can't stand in Chester. Maybe Chester tries too hard. Hey,
where is Spiney's anybody's seen him?

Speaker 3 (13:01):
No?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Not since I told you about I wouldn't be likely
to see him, Matt.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
You know Spiny, he never touches a job.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
And maybe it'd be better if he didn't know.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
If you'd like to confess with the man, I can
tell you what to find him.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I thought you didn't know.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, I didn't say that. I said I hadn't seen him.
That's the truth. The mind swore me to secrecy.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
What for? What?

Speaker 2 (13:24):
A man wants to get away from his wife for
a change. Why should I stop him?

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Had you seen him, you'd understand.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Where is he? Miles? Tell me, I'd like to get
this thing settled.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
He's over at the Dodge House, Room twelve.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah, i'll see later. Are you going to do Matt?
I'm going to talk to him, Kenny. I think Spiney
needs to know a few things about the Quaker sex.

(14:00):
Uh Harchester put us with to morrow's mail. Yeah, I
gotta get all this paperwork done to night John. Yeah,
what is it?

Speaker 3 (14:18):
What did Spiney say when you talk to him?

Speaker 2 (14:20):
Chester? I got work to do. If you're gonna drag
her around like that, go to bed.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Oh maybe we'll just rest a bit. That's better, mister Jillan.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah's Chester.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
The last dog I had. I wasn't but nine years old.
One day a bear reached out of a hicky tree
and grabbed him and that was the last of him.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Oh it's too bad, Yeah, just.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
An old pal was dead. Didn't Spiny say nothing?

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Look, Chester, we didn't talk talk about the dog at all.
Spiney's got other problems. Now. Maybe he'll let you keep him.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
He will, I.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Said, maybe, Chester, But but why that dog won't even
let you pet him?

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Well, he did wives today.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yeah, and I saw you hiding the wound where you
got him?

Speaker 8 (15:17):
