04x05 - The Long Road Back

Post by bunniefuu »

You don't have to call,
you know?

All right,
what have you got?

Well, I guess
you can beat a king.

Three tens.

What you trying to do,
steal the pot?

Better than
stealing money.

Hold it right there.

- You're no lawman.
- This is a citizen's arrest.

For what?
I haven't done anything.

This 20 says you have.
Some of the money
I've been looking for,

money that was stolen
in the holdup
at Miller's crossing.

I know nothing
about no holdup.

You can explain that
to the sheriff in Laramie.
Now get walking.

All right,
butt first.

Get back.

I'll leave this
for you outside.

You better warn
Duke.

We're all dead
if you don't stop him.

Come on.

Well, 220 dollar bills.

The serial numbers
are all in sequence.

You still say you had nothing
to do with that holdup?

Look, I told you I had
nothing to do with it.

Then what are you
walking around

with a wad
like this for?

I found it
in a field.

There's no law against a man
finding some money, is there?

It depends
on what you do with it.

And you're not
a very good liar, Virg.

If you're so sure I'm guilty,
why didn't you just lock me up

in the jail back
in Cedar Bend?

You could poke a hole
in that egg crate
by leaning against it.

You'll be
a lot safer in Laramie.

That is
if you get me there.

You'll get there.
And we better straighten
one thing out right now.

This can be just as easy or
as rough as you want it to be.

If you don't give me
any trouble,

I won't give you any.

And if I do?

I'll rope you tighter than
a calf ready for branding.

And you'll ride the rest
of the way on your belly

like a sack of wheat.

All right,
you got my word on it,

no trouble.

Then mount up.

We'll camp here
for the night.

For a man in such a great
hurry to get to Laramie,

you sure
slow down a lot.

I like to pick
what I run into,

and that's pretty hard
to do at night.

You rustle up
some firewood,

I'll unpack the grub.

You sure I won't
make a break for it?

Any place
is a long walk from here.

Get up.
get up, yeah.

Bring them up here.

Well, that promise of yours
wasn't worth much, was it?

Well, what are you
waiting for?

Go ahead,
pull the trigger.

You settle down, Virg.
I'm warning you.

Yeah, you keep warning,
that's about all you do.

You won't sh**t me.

You know I'm the only one
who can tell you

who is in the rest
of the g*ng.

Well, now,

that's about as fine a ruckus
as I ever seen.

This is better than a prize
fight I seen in Denver,

cost me five dollars.

And who are you?

Who am I?

You must be a stranger in these
parts if you don't know me.

Me and Gladys,
we've been around here so long,

folks think we're
part of the scenery.

Well, I don't know
the scenery.

This what
you're looking for?

Picked it up back there
and figured you dropped it.

Well, thanks.

Well,
let's start over again.

I'm Slim Sherman
from Laramie.

Cletus McBain,

most any dang place
you want to think of.

Glad to make
your acquaintance.

Hey, what's all
the fussin' about?

That's
Virg Walker.

I'm taking him
into Laramie.

He's wanted for that
stagecoach robbery.

He...? You mean
Miller's Crossing?

That's right.

Yeah, say,
I heard about that.

Driver and
the shotgun was k*lled,

stagecoach wreck.

Whole passel of money
stole too.

$20,000.

What?

- He did it?
- He was one of them.

It's a lie.
He's just trying to cover up.

He followed me, beat me up,
and took my wallet.

Oh, come on, Virg.

Look,
I can prove it to you!

He's got it
inside his shirt.

Don't pay
any attention to him.

- He's got it, I tell you,
make him show it you.
- Sure, I got it!

Well, I guess you wouldn't
mind letting me see it.

You're not believing him,
are you?

I don't know
neither one of you.

No reason to believe him
no less than you.

- Let's have it, huh?
- [ c*ck g*n ]

There's $200 in there.

Part of the stolen money.

I got that from the bank
this morning.

I was on my way south
to buy some horses.

Hey, looky,
it's brand-new.

Almost smell the ink.

See, that proves
it's from the bank.

That money was being
delivered to the bank.

Now hold on, hold on,
both of you.

You say one thing,
you say another.

Now sure as shootin',
I ain't Solomon.

I can't tell
which one of you lying.

Then don't try.

Why don't you
just hang on to that?

Take us both into
the sheriff in Laramie.

He's bluffing.

You got any better idea?

Well, no.

But Laramie is out of my way
and I'm late as it is now.

Seems to me,
if I hadn't come along,

would make no difference
how late you were.

Guess we'll go along
with your idea, Slim.

Well,
now I know for sure.

You might
not be a Solomon,

sure give
a good imitation.

Eh, when you
get my age,

you're learning more than
one way to skin a cat.

Better tie him up.
He's a downright
unreliable sort.

I like to eat
my supper in peace.

So help me, Slim,
I'm gonna find it.

Maybe take another 30 years
lookin' and scratchin'.

Me and Gladys
are gonna find ourselves

a whole darn mountain
of gold someday.

Well, I wish you luck,
Cletus.

Don't need luck.

Just a pot full of patience
and a good, strong back.

Well, guess
I'll be turning in.

What're you gonna do
about him?

Sit up and watch him?

I'll spell ya
if you like.

Oh, I think
he'll keep.

You know, he don't
look like a road agent.

More like
a scared kid.

Well, you knocked
all the fight out of him.

Guess you're pretty sure
about all this, huh?

Yeah, I picked up
his trail from the money.

Used one of the bills
to buy supplies.

I got his description,
placed him in Cedar Bend,

nailed him
in a poker game.

What about
the rest of the money?

The others
must have it.

Hid it somewhere.

I figure they're a little
smarter than Virg.

Haven't tried
to pass it yet.

He only got out of it
with $200?

I got a feeling that boy
has been suckered real good.

Well...

good night.

Good night.

Can I get you
something?

More coffee?

Sorry I had to do this, Virg,
but you left me no choice.

Let me give you
some advice.

You're in awful deep,
and I don't think

you realize how deep.

Not just
because of that money.

Those two men
that were k*lled.

Shot down
without a chance.

If you don't start talking,

you're gonna have to
answer for those men.

And you're gonna
have to answer alone.

Your friends are not gonna
help you, they run out on you.

Left you
to take the gaffe.

When you hang
for what they did, they--

Shut up.

Shut up
and leave me alone.

You are alone, Virg.

That's the whole trouble.

See
what I mean?

Hmm?

He don't look
like no road agent.

No, he don't.

Oh, by the way,
Cletus...

Yeah?

I'll... take care
of that wallet now.

Wallet,
what wallet?

Oh.
Oh, yeah.

Clean forgot
about it.

Thanks.

You weren't worried,
were you?

Not at all, Cletus.

Night.

Night.

[ snake rattling ]

Sherman, look out!

Can't beat
these old g*ns.

Look, not
a nick in it.

Thanks, Cletus.

Oh,
don't thank me.

He's the one
who set up the holler.

Virg?

Yeah,
like I said,

he's a funny
kind of a road agent.

Well, I hope you're sitting on
top of that mountain next time
I see you.

Won't be sitting, Slim,
would be digging.

Ain't it
kind of a chance

you're letting him
ride loose like that?

Well, I suppose.

You know, last night he had
his ropes half sawed through.

Might have gotten away
if he'd kept his mouth shut.

That prove
anything special?

Well, I hope so,
for his sake.

It's quite a piece
to Laramie.

Don't get to hoping
so much that
you get careless.

Don't worry, I won't,
and good luck.

Be seeing you.

What's the idea?

Feels like
she's coming up lame.

Ah, she just
picked up a stone.

Let me
see your knife.

I'll do it.

Uh-uh, it's my horse,
nobody hacks her up.

Want to do something,
just keep her steady.

You're pretty good
at that.

Not much of a trick.

Maybe not.

But somebody
who doesn't know horses

could do
a lot of damage.

I ought to know 'em.

Worked in a stable
ever since I was a kid.

Practically ate out of a nosebag
and slept in a stall.

You had no family then?

Ma and Pa died
in a flash flood,

- and me and Duke
had to go it alone.
- Well, who's Duke?

My older brother,
he cut out on his own.

He said he didn't
want a young kid

tagging along
after him.

Yeah,
that'll be all right.

Seems like you've
had a little bad luck.

Yeah, looks like it ain't
changed much, has it?

Hey, Virg, about what
happened last night--

Forget
about last night.

You better
worry about today.

From the looks
of those clouds,

you're not gonna
make it to Laramie

as quick
as you think you are.

Hi.
I was beginning to wonder

if anybody
was ever gonna show up.

How did this
happen?

The silliest thing
in the world.

I wasn't watching where
I was going, I guess,

and I just drove
over this rock.

Well, it scared the horses,
and they broke away and,

well, here I am.

You sure are.
No fixing that wheel.

You're gonna need
a new one.

Oh, I was afraid of that.
Pa's gonna throw a fit.

He's always saying
how scatterbrained I am,

I can't do
anything right.

Oh, my gosh, Ma's waiting
for me to get home.

Now listen, Miss...

Malone,
Ginny Malone.

Well, I'm Slim Sherman,
this is Virg Walker.

Pleased to meet you,
both of you.

I can't tell you how glad
I am you came along.

Well, I didn't know
what to do.

There's not much anybody
can do without a new wheel.

I suppose so but...
well, men are always better

than able to figure out
things like that.

Ooh.

Miss Malone.

Is it over?

A little sand's
not gonna hurt you.

Oh, well,
it isn't that.

It's just that I washed
my hair this morning and,

well, there's a dance in town
tonight, you see, and...

Well, I didn't want it
to get all dirty again.

I mean, then I'd have
to wash it all over and--

Where do you live,
Miss Malone?

Oh, call me Ginny.

Nobody ever calls me
Miss Malone.

Sounds kind of funny.

Sure, Ginny.
Where do you live,
is it far from here?

No,
about 10 miles south.

And I was just thinking maybe
if one of you'd be so kind

as to go fetch my pa,

I know it's a lot of
trouble and all but...

Well, I don't think
that'll work for us.

Oh, sure,
I understand.

I guess you're going
someplace

and have
important things to do.

Well, I wouldn't
want to cause any trouble.

Well,
that's not the question.

No, no.

I mean, well, I got
myself into this mess

and I'll just have to
get myself out.

Besides, Pa's bound to
come looking for me

sooner or later.

And, well, I'll just
stay here till he--

till he does.

I'll stick with the wagon
till he comes over--

till somebody
comes to help me.

We're not gonna leave you
out here by yourself.

Not with this storm
coming on.

Come on,
we'll take you home.

You sure
I won't be any trouble?

The only thing
I'm sure of right now is

this is not the time
to argue, come on.

Well, here we are.

You seem to know
this cave pretty well.

I should.
I used to play in it
when I was a little girl.

There's probably
one of my rag dolls

still lying around
somewhere.

You stay put.

You start any trouble,
you'll find out

how quick
I'll use this.

Well, there's not much
left of Lady Guinevere.

Guess about all she's good
for is starting a fire.

Thanks.

Do, uh, you and Mr. Walker
live around here, Mr. Sherman,

or are you just
passing through?

Oh, no,
I'm from Laramie.

Oh, really?

That practically makes us
neighbors, doesn't it?

Well, you might
say that.

Are you two
in business together?

For the time being.

I'll bet
you're ranchers.

Pa says most everybody
is over your way,

on account of the good
grass and all.

But Ma won't hear
any talk about our moving,

so I guess we'll just
spend the rest of our lives

staying
around here.

And I guess I'll get
married someday.

I mean, well,
every girl does,

but I don't see
why Ma and Pa think

that just because
they got married so young,

if I don't catch someone
before the next birthday,

I'm going be
an old maid.

You agree with me,
don't you, Mr. Sherman?

Mr. Sherman?

Hmm?

Oh, sure,
Ginny.

I mean, what difference
does it make

when a girl marries as long
as she finds the right man?

Ginny, I...

if you don't mind,
I think...

the storm's died down
a little bit.

I'm going out
to check the horses.

- Of course.
- I'll be right back.

Well, you go right ahead,
I'll build up the fire

and make some coffee
for when you get back.

Oh, Virg.

The storm's over,
we can get moving now.

Come on, Virg,
wake up.

I'm ready.

Watch it, Sherman,
there's nothing stopping me
from cutting you down.

Where'd you
get that?

You?

Turn around
and face the wall.

Come on, move!

Ginny, go outside
and get the rope.

- Virg, can't we--
- Hurry up!

All right, Sherman.

You once gave me a choice,
now I'm gonna give you one.

Just play it straight or
you're gonna wake up

with an awful
headache.

I got to hand it
to you, Virg,

I didn't...

I didn't figure
this angle.

You're a lot smarter
than I thought.

Can't take any bows.
Ginny worked this
out on her own

when she found out
you were taking me in.

Well, she's sure
doing it the hard way.

Why didn't she just
bring the rest of the g*ng?

- She's not
part of the g*ng.
- Ah, come on.

Look, I told you she wasn't,
she's in the clear!

[ footsteps approaching ]

Not anymore.

Watch him.

Put your hands
behind your back.

Congratulations, Ginny,
that was a good show.

You had me
all the way.

I had to do it,
Mr. Sherman.

Virg and I
are going to be married.

Well, I wouldn't
count on that.

They don't allow
wives in penitentiaries...

if he's lucky enough
to draw that.

What do you mean?

There were two men
k*lled in that robbery,

- and that's
a hanging offense.
- But Virg didn't do it.

Doesn't make any difference
who pulled the trigger.

Everybody in that g*ng
is guilty.

- He wasn't
even in that g*ng.
- Ginny, that's enough.

No, why should you
take the blame for Duke?

Shut up.

Duke?

So that's what you've been
covering up, huh?

Shut up and get down
on your knees.

Well, your brother,

that's what you've been
covering up.

Virg wasn't with them
when they stole that money,
honest, he wasn't.

Ginny, for the last time,
will you keep your mouth shut?

Virg, listen to me.
Would Duke protect you?

Has he ever done
anything for you?

Sure, he has,
Ginny.

He gave Virg a share
of that stolen money.

$200 out of $20,000.

Not only that,

gave it to him
in brand-new bills.

Money that'll leave a trail
as plain and as wide
as a cattle --

Oh, he's done
a lot for you, Virg.

Look, I don't care
what you say,

he's my brother.

Maybe that's what
he is to you.

But what are you
to him?

And how far do you think
that's gonna take you?

Far enough.

Now you want to get loose,
you get out the way I did it.

The hard way.

Well, there won't be anything
down here to interrupt me.

Come on.

Ginny!

If he starts to run now,

he won't ever be
able to stop.

- Virg...
- Will you hurry up?

Virg, we can't just
leave him in there.

What do you want me to do,
take him along with us?

But nobody
will ever find him.
He could starve.

Don't worry about him.
He'll get loose
sooner or later.

And suppose
he doesn't?

Ginny, sometimes
I can't understand you.

Sherman's trying
to throw me in jail--

He isn't trying
to k*ll you, Virg.

Ginny, this is not a game
we're playing.

I thought you knew that
when you helped me out
and gave me the g*n.

All I thought of
was trying to help you.

I didn't realize
I was really hurting you.

What do you mean
hurting me?

Virg, you can't
leave him in there,

you're
not a m*rder*r.

And I couldn't love you
if you were.

All right,
leave that in the cave.

By the time
he cuts himself loose,

we'll have
a good lead on him.

You won't regret it,
I promise.

Virg told me
to leave this for you.

What's he trying to do?

Salve his conscience?

If he is,
it won't work.

You've got to believe me.

He wasn't in with that g*ng,
and that's the truth.

Duke wanted him in,
but, well,

at the last minute
he backed out.

Why?

Because
I asked him to...

and besides, I think
he realized himself
how wrong it was.

Then where'd
he get the money?

Duke gave it to him
to get away from here,

go to California.

He was afraid that
Virg knew too much

and might let
something slip.

I believed you before
and look what it got me.

All right, then hate me
for it if you want to,

but don't take it
out on him.

VIRG: Ginny.

Coming.

If you love him,
and what you tell me
about him is true,

don't let him run now.

VIRG: Ginny!

I'll be right there.

Just one thing.

Give me a chance
to talk to him first.

All right.

What took you
so long?

He just kept
talking to me.

He's good at that.

Now go on home and get
packed and wait for me.

Where're you going?

I'm gonna find Duke.

- Why?
- Never mind!

Virg,
stay away from him.

Hasn't he caused you
enough trouble already?

Ginny,
will you go on home?

Well, look what's happened.
You weren't even with him

and you're being blamed
for that holdup.

That's right.
And if I'm gonna take the blame,
I'm not settling for $200.

I'm gonna get
my fair share.

Virg,
don't get in any deeper.

Ginny, don't you understand?
There's no other way right now.

We either start
over clean right now

or we don't start
at all.

Ginny, it's the only way
we've got.

Why don't you talk
to Mr. Sherman?

He can help you.

Yeah,
to the gallows, you mean.

Let's try--

Ginny...

I'm sorry, Virg,

it was the only thing
I could do.

You little fool.

What about it, Virg?

Will you let me help you?

Think you can?

You tell me.

As far as I know, you've
got stolen money on you,
that nails you.

Ginny says
you weren't involved.

Now what do you say?

Would you believe me
if I told you?

If you told me everything--

who's in the g*ng,
where the money's hidden.

It'll go a long ways in
giving you that clean start.

Please, Virg.

Well, checks out.

Think that mine shaft's down
there behind those rocks.

You think
the money's still there?

Duke's plan
was to hide it,

not touch it
for at least a month.

We're all supposed to
split up and lay low

and wait
till things cooled off.

Could've
changed his mind.

Well, there's only
one way to find out.

Guess you want
the rest of it, don't you?

Ginny,
you stay out here.

Virg, everything's
gonna be all right, isn't it?

Everything's gonna be
just fine.

Duke said he'd leave
a lantern inside the cave--

Here it is.

Well, Virg, there's one thing
that doesn't add up.

How come you know
so much of Duke's plans?

And why did
he give you the map

if you weren't
part of the g*ng?

Oh, he didn't
give it to me.

He got so mad
when I told him

I didn't want to be
part of the holdup,

he hauled off and hit me,
knocked me out cold.

He didn't know
I'd come to,

and I heard him
plan the whole thing.

So I wrote it down
so I wouldn't forget.

- You could've
tried to stop him.
- No, I couldn't.

Duke tied me up
and he made me wait

till he came back
and then he gave me $200

and said
head out west.

He even left
Steeger around

to make sure
I didn't do anything.

Well, who's Steeger?

He's that gunslinger whose
hardware you picked up

back in Cedar Bend.

He was to make sure
I got on the stage.

Still don't trust me,
do you?

Would you if you
were in my spot?

Come on, let's get this thing
nailed down once and for all.

It's not too safe
in here.

Well, we're nearly
at the end.

Here it is over here,
hold this.

Duke said he'd leave
a strong box here.

He wanted to protect it
from mine seepage.

Virg.

I thought you were
playing this straight.

You think
I double-crossed you.

You said you'd lead me
to the money,

tell me
who's in the g*ng.

You haven't even
met the first condition.

The strong box
was here.

Yeah,
with no money in it.

Maybe he hid it
somewhere else.

Maybe you're just leading me
on a wild goose chase
to give him more time.

Oh, I'm not.
I'm telling you
everything I know.

Sorry, Virg,
that's not good enough.

Oh, Sli--

Go on.

[ mule braying ]

- You hear that?
- Yeah, what was it?

Animal of some kind,
came from down there.

[ mule braying ]

It sounds like a mule.

CLETUS: Come on, Gladys.

Isn't that...?

Yeah, old Cletus.

CLETUS: Come on, Gladys,
this is no time to be stalling.

Come on.

[ mule braying ]

Shh.

Come on, Gladys,
you stop being
so dad-burn stubborn.

Just as we get everything
going our way,

you get stubborn of it.
Come on, now.

Come on,
Gladys.

You want me to boot you
out of your hide?

Well, nice going,
Cletus.

I see
you found it.

But I thought you were looking
for a mountain of gold.

Now don't you get ready
to get any wrong ideas, Slim.

Well, this one happens
to be staked out already.

How do you
figure that?

It's the bank money.

It is?

How was I supposed
to know that?

That map
in Virg's wallet.

You don't think
I'd take something
that don't belong to me,

do you, Slim?

Looks like
you already have.

I was just
trying to help you.

I-I figured the g*ng
would come here

and were gonna run away
with the money

before you got back.

I was just moving it
to a safe place.

Oh, I appreciate that,
Cletus.

Now you won't mind if I take
charge of it now, will you?

Well, it's fine.

It's fit and proper.

You know me, always on
the side of the law and order.

I never doubted that
for a moment.

We better
get out of here.

This whole place
is caving in.

Oh, no need to fret
about that.

These old shafts are always
slipping a little at the seam.

You don't have to worry

unless you get a lot of
ruckus of some kind.

Like Gladys here
singing a little too loud.

I'll still feel better
if I get out of here.

Come on.

GINNY: Virg, Virg!

It's Ginny.

Where are you?

Virg, Virg!

Ginny.

What're you doing down here?
I told you to wait outside.

Duke and his men,
they're out there.

- Did they see you?
- I don't think so.

They were just
coming over the ridge.

They'll find our horses
on the way down here.

Wait.

They're at the mouth
of the shaft.

Is there another way
out of here?

Not that I know.

We'll need to start
looking now.

Well, I'm ready.

No, we can't sh**t it out
with 'em down here.

They'll just pull back,
wait and starve us out.

DUKE: Virg, Virg!

- That's Duke.
- Douse that light.

DUKE: I know you're in here,
Virg, come on out.

Now wait a minute.

- Look, I got to finish it out
with him sooner or later.
- No, you don't.

There's no other way.
Right now he doesn't know
who's down here.

So?

If I can get him down
to the end of the main shaft,
you can get Ginny out of here.

What's gonna happen
when he finds out
the money's not there?

Forget about that, let's get
Ginny out of here first.

DUKE:
No use hiding, Virg.

I'm coming in.

Let me go, Slim.

Wait a minute.

He's playing it right.
We'll go along with it.

Come on.

I'm warning you,
Virg!

All right, take it easy,
Duke, I'm coming.

What kind of a game
are you playing anyway?

I told you to cut out of this
territory 2 days ago.

I was on my way.

And you let yourself get
picked up by that lawman.

What happened to him?

Got rid of him.

You?

With all your fancy talk
about going straight?

Don't hand me that.

We saw your horses
out in the front.

Who's with you?

Just Ginny.

Look, I told you I got
rid of him and I did.

Supposing
you tell me how.

- What's the difference?
- Plenty!

Maybe you made a deal
to get rid of him...

like turning over that
bank money, for instance.

No.

Okay,
we'll just make sure.

You two get moving.
And no noise.

I'm staying
with you.

No, you take care
of Ginny.

And hang onto this.

Stick to gold,
Cletus, it's safer.

Dirty
double-crosser.

What did you do
with it?

Where's the money?

- Duke.
- Where is it!

Thanks, brother.

You're no brother to me,
you're nothing!

You never have been!

Just once more, Virg--
where's the money?

All this time I've been
covering up for you.

The money, Virg.

You're too late, Duke.

I got it!
Now turn him loose.

I said turn him loose!

And drop those g*ns
if you want to stay alive.

Come on, Virg.

Get out of my way.

Virg.

It's all right,
just finish him.

[ cracking ]

Slim, the walls.

This whole place
is caving in.

Not one of them
could've lived through that.

The same thing
will happen to us
if we don't clear out fast.

Come on.

Cut it kinda fine,
didn't you?

A little too fine.

Duke and the others?

Well, maybe
they didn't find the gold,

but sure found
their mountain.

[ mine collapsing ]

Did the stage
bring any mail?

Mm-hmm.

Ah, thanks.
Oh, good.

That's the slipcover pattern
that I've been waiting for.

Well?

That must be from a girl
the way you're enjoying it.

Yes,
Ginny Malone.

She writes
just the way she talks.

Doesn't use one word
when ten will do.

What happened
about Virg?

He got off easy.

Yeah, she says that the judge
gave him one year probation.

He and Ginny are getting
married next month.

Aww, that's nice.

[ mule braying ]

Get up there!
Get up, you mule.

Now, now, Mike, that ain't
no way to handle a lady.

You got to sweet talk
her like this.

What's going on,
Cletus?

Why's Gladys
all packed up?

Oh, we got to
get moving, Slim.

That mountain's
still out there.

I ain't gonna find it
sitting around here,

getting fat
on your vittles.

Here,
take this with you.

You may get hungry
on the trail.

Well, thank you
kindly, ma'am.

Well, Slim,
thanks for putting me up.

Glad to have you,
Cletus.

Be seeing you.

So long, boy,
you be good.

You bring me back
a piece of your mountain.

I sure will.

Good luck.

Come on, Gladys,
get moving.

Sweet talk her,
Cletus.

What did you
say to her?

- You really want to know?
- Yeah.

I said you get moving
or I'll boot you

right out of your
flea-bitten hide.

- [ mule braying ]
- [ Slim laughs ]

Goodbye.
