00:00You
00:30Life for your crap.
00:55Life out of your own.
01:00Long days and pleasant nights, stranger.
01:02May you have twice the number.
01:05Unlikely.
01:07I don't have no but corn and beans.
01:09Corn's free, but you'll have to kick something in for the beans.
01:12A man brings them out once in a while.
01:14He don't stay long.
01:16Afraid of spirits.
01:17Afraid of the birdman, too.
01:20I saw him.
01:21The birdman, I mean.
01:23He fled me.
01:25Yar, he's lost his way.
01:28Claims to be looking for a place called Algool Sint.
01:31Only sometimes calls it Blue Haven or Heaven.
01:34I can't make out which.
01:36Has thee heard of it?
01:37Well, he don't bite and he don't bide.
01:41So fuck him.
01:46Is he alive or dead?
01:49Alive.
01:50You speak as the man you do.
01:53Yeah, I was with them a while.
01:55But that was no life for me.
01:57Too chummy they are.
01:58And always looking for holes in the world.
01:59Brown is my name.
02:05How are you?
02:07True, you are the horse you rode in on.
02:10That's Zoltan.
02:11Range, range, beautiful group.
02:13Mori, wait.
02:14Mori, too.
02:16You teach him that?
02:18That's all he wants to learn, I guess.
02:21Try to teach him the Lord's Prayer once.
02:23Guess this ain't Lord's Prayer country.
02:29You're a gunslinger, that right?
02:31Yes.
02:33Thought your kind were gone.
02:35Then you see different, don't you?
02:37Did he come from N-World?
02:40Long ago.
02:42Anything left there?
02:43Yeah.
02:47After the other one, I guess.
02:49Yes.
02:50How long since he passed by?
02:53Don't know.
02:55Time's funny out here.
02:57Distance and direction, too.
02:59More than two weeks.
03:01Less than six weeks.
03:03The B-man's been twice since he passed.
03:06I guess about six weeks.
03:08That's probably wrong.
03:11Did he lay by?
03:13He stayed supper.
03:14Same as you will, I guess.
03:16We passed the time.
03:17What did he talk about?
03:20Not much.
03:23Did it ever rain?
03:25When did I come here?
03:27Had I buried my wife?
03:29He asked if she was of the Monifolk, and I said Yar, because it seemed like Yar he knew.
03:34I did most of the talking, which ain't usual.
03:37He's a sorcerer, ain't he?
03:40Among other things.
03:42I knew.
03:42He dropped a rabbit right from his sleeve, all gutted and ready for the pot.
03:46What?
03:47Are you?
03:48A sorcerer.
03:50I'm just a man.
03:53You'll never catch him.
03:55I'll catch him.
03:56I'll catch him.
03:57I'll catch him.
04:01I love you.
04:31Amen.
