not for nothing baby get a coat we can

talk better in the bar no there's a man

named Rockland out there he killed.

Gillen got the money back the money that

you said you'd get I said it and I will

told Joshua about Gil right right and

he's been drinking ever since and stuff

you a chance to serve the cause see that

Joshua has plenty of whiskey with an

easy reach and see that he keeps using

it that won't be hard

he's out boost him up and told him

inside being old killing the Argonaut as

long as I'm here oh I'm dead set against

killin mr. McCloud that's why we gotta

stop this here Rockland from killing

again

the way he shot down murdered your son.

Gil legalized murder I say now left to

hear he's all in favor of hanging Burt

he wants to shoot him and only wanted to

do it with a pitchfork quick-like but I

ain't one for killing and good doctor

said he wants to let more Rockland go

scot free let him go on killing young

men like your son mr. McCloud you let a

rattlesnake crawl into your house but

don't you worry none right now we got

him Dee fact but we've got to keep him

defect

this is his Fang his right hand is gun

now you tell me if I've got it straight

dr. Sam these tendons here controller

fingers cut him and Rockland can't work

his hand no more can't shoot no more

can't kill no more so it's up to dr. Sam

he can do a nice slick job throw this

trash out of here Joshua it would have

happened to Gil sooner or later and you

know it

but Rockland came to you and told you

like a man throw them out of here

mr. MacLeod you're a man without a son

now because of Rockland's murder in hand

a proud man like you shouldn't think of

a thing like that

tell dr. Sam to do it Joshua

tell him tell him to do it

do you think I would have anything to do

with it.

I reckon we got no call to ask it that

dr. Sam why don't you just run along

wait you mangle him Wow I ain't got your

skill.
