00:00Oh
00:30Life for your crop
00:35Life out of your own
00:37Oh, long days and pleasant nights, stranger
00:43May you have twice the number
00:45Unlikely
00:47I don't have no but corn and beans
00:50Corn's free, but you'll have to kick something in for the beans
00:53A man brings them out once in a while
00:55He don't stay long
00:56Afraid of spirits
00:57Afraid of the bird man, too
01:00I saw him
01:01The bird man, I mean
01:03He fled me
01:05Yar
01:06He's lost his way
01:08Claims be looking for a place called, uh
01:10Algul Seant
01:11Only he calls it Bluehaven or Heaven
01:13I can't make out which
01:14Has they heard of it?
01:16Well, he don't bite and he don't bite
01:18So fuck him
01:21Is he alive or dead?
01:23Alive
01:24You speak as the manny do
01:26Eh, I was with him a while
01:28But that was no life for me
01:29Too chummy they are
01:30They're always looking for holes in the world
01:34Brown is my name
01:35Ah!
01:36Screw you!
01:37That's Zoltan
01:38Screw you and the horse you rode in on
01:41Beans, beans, the musical fruit
01:43The more you eat, the more you toot
01:45Ah!
01:46You teach him that?
01:47That's all he wants to learn, I guess
01:49Try to teach him the Lord's Prayer once
01:51Guess this ain't Lord's Prayer country
01:54You're a gunslinger, that right?
01:57Yes
01:58Thought your kind were gone
02:00Then you see different, don't you?
02:02Did he come from Inworld?
02:04Long ago
02:05Anything left there?
02:08After the other one, I guess
02:09Yes
02:10How long since he passed by?
02:12Don't know
02:13Time's funny out here
02:14Distance and direction too
02:15More than two weeks
02:16Less than two weeks
02:17The B-Man's been twice since he passed
02:19I guess about six weeks
02:20That's probably wrong
02:21The more you eat, the more you toot
02:22Did he lay by?
02:23He stayed supper
02:24Same as you will, I guess
02:25We passed the time
02:26What did he talk about?
02:28Not much
02:29Did it ever rain?
02:30When did I come here?
02:31Had I buried my wife?
02:32He asked if she was in the money folk
02:33And I said no
02:34No, no, no
02:35No, no
02:36No, no
02:37No, no
02:38No, no

02:53I said you are because
02:54It seemed like you already knew
02:56I did most of the talking
02:58Which ain't usual
02:59He's a sorcerer, ain't he?
03:01Among other things
03:03I knew
03:04He dropped a rabbit right from his sleeve
03:06All gutted and ready for the pot
03:08Are you?
03:09A sorcerer?
03:11I'm just a man
03:14You'll never catch him
03:16I'll catch him
