Speaker 4 (09:42):
I'm sorry, Sleep, but it isn't likely the change overnight.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It's been more th a month, Doc, and I still
ain't got the use in my finger.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I've told you, Sleep, sometimes it happens that way.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, it ain't no good without the use of my fingers.
Doc gets my gun hand.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Who are lucky not to lose the whole arm? I
told you that from the start.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Listened to Doc.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
If it's money, I'll find me some money so you
can fix There are some.
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Things that money can't buy, and one of them's a
good right hand.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You mean it ain't never gonna get well.
Speaker 9 (10:11):
I can't tell you what I've told you all along.
It just doesn't look good. It isn't just a matter
of muscle and bone. It's it's the nerve. Nerves don't
often come back.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's gotta come back. I ain't nothing without my gun hand.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
And ask me he wasn't never much with his young
hand neither.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Sleeder is waiting for you at your office every day?
Is that right?
Speaker 5 (10:50):
Though?
Speaker 9 (10:50):
Yes, every blessed day. It doesn't matter how often I
tell him I can't do any for him. He's still
there showing me his arm, trying to work his fingers.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
If anyone else should be sorry for him.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I'm kind of sorry for Duck having him hang around
like that.
Speaker 9 (11:05):
Yes, indeed, I wish he could find something to do
for my sake. I can't get it right of my
office without stepping over him, and.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
I can hardly get in or out of the long
brunch these days either.
Speaker 7 (11:17):
Duck, that'll make you feel anything.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
Oh, what's the trouble to you?
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Oh, it's just one of the penalties of owning the
business stuff, you.
Speaker 10 (11:25):
Know, that's all.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
I had to help out at the bar and be
a general handyman.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
What happened to him?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Who knows what happened to him? He just hasn't shown
up for two days. You'd think nobody else could do
anything around there except me.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Why don't you get somebody else?
Speaker 8 (11:46):
Nobody's down and out enough to want the shop.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
I guess it isn't much.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Wait a minute, I could have been with one hand
to it.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
One hand ty vind his back.
Speaker 10 (11:56):
You mean, yeah, just about that?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Well, I was thinking about sleep sleep. Well, maybe if
he had some simple job to do, he'd snap.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Out of it and quit bothering you.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's right now, Miss Kitty. Wouldn't want more fellow like
him around.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Oh, I don't know, chester, I've had worse. Do you
think it's worth that?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I guess it wouldn't have hurt anything to try.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
It, But it's one thing. Sure Sleep isn't able to
hurt any.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
All right, then you can talk him into a doc
all chances I could sure youse some help.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Now, it just don't seem right, Miss Kitty, I wouldn't
do that.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Advise you well, will you take the job for me? Chester?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
No, ma'am, it ain't something i'd rightly feel like lewing.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
Nobody feels like it.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Go ahead, Doc, Doc to Sleep, all right?
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Wrong, a guard sleep for him?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
All right? For you interested?
Speaker 3 (13:01):
I'm sure he is the ain't nothing born glass Beard.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
And then you're not worried about sleet anymore? Well, I
wasn't never worried about him, sir.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
You were a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Chester.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Don't deny it.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Oh well, that was before he changed into a change man.
You might say, you figure he's changed that for sure
he is. Anybody can see that, ain't that's so miskiddy?
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Yeah, say you're right. It's almost as if that gun
had been a part of him. That without it, he
seems to have.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Lost part of his home makeup.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Does he ever talk about it?
Speaker 7 (13:33):
He never talks about anything, not.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Even the doc.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
Doc says, Sleep won't even speak when he's passing him
on the street.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
I guess Duck can do without all the talk he
used to get from him.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Yeah, I guess they can.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
It's funny thing Andrew's done.
Speaker 7 (13:46):
I thought it can change.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
Sweet always used to like to be around where the
crowd was.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Now nobody don't never see him.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
He leaves here as soon as his chores are done.
Speaker 7 (13:58):
Nobody knows where he's dead.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Must be out of town somewhere.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I see him walking out there.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
Most every night.
Speaker 8 (14:05):
You suppose old man had calmed down like that if
there were no guns.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I don't know, kitty, but it sure has saved me
a lot of trouble.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Yeah, say, women a lot of worry.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
I don't hold your breath, kitty. I think we'll be
hanging on to our guns for a while.
Speaker 7 (14:21):
And women will go right on worrying.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
What's the matter of chest? Is somebody chasing you? But no, Sure,

to find him, though, I said, But he said he'd
been on the trail all day and he was packing
around an awful third.
