The Hired Hand Page #2

---

When I got there,

he was all over her.

You mind if I ask

her about that?

Well, she don't speak

any American.

Won't do you any good.

Don't seem to me

there's much to ask.

The woman's all messed up.

Your friend's got his pants half off.

Seems pretty plain to me.

Where can we bury him?

Sam:
why don't you just let that

go till the morning'?

I'll close my cantina,

And you can let him

rest here for the night.

We'll bury him now.

Jesus said,

"let those who lead you say to you,

"See the kingdom is in heaven."

"Then the birds of the heaven

will precede you.

"If they say to you

it is in the sea,

"Then the fish

will precede you.

But the kingdom is within you,

and it is without you."

A disciple said to Jesus,

"tell us how our end will be."

Jesus said, "have you then

discovered the beginning

"That you inquire

about the end?

"For where the beginning is,

there shall be the end.

"Blessed is he who shall stand

at the beginning,

And he shall know the end

and not taste death."

"His disciple said to him,

"when will the kingdom come?

Jesus said,

"it will not come by expectation.

"It will not say,

'see here or see there.'

"But the kingdom of the father

is spread upon the earth,

And men do not see it."

Ah!

Let's go!

Ah! Goddamn!

Damn!

Goddamn!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

What do you mean, what's she like?

Is she tall, thin, fat, round,

brown hair, blue eyes?

What's she like?

Medium, red hair...

brown eyes, I guess.

I think I know her.

She had a nice voice.

How old is she?

How old?

Well, she was 30

when we was married.

And how old was you?

20-- Just turned.

Hell, boy,

you didn't stand a chance.

Ah, it weren't her fault.

I wasn't ready, that's all.

Too hot to ride

and too hot to walk.

Well, it isnt far now.

Wonder what your wife's

going to say to you

When she lays eyes on you,

harry.

What I mean is, what kind

of nature does she have?

I don't rightly recall.

Only lived with her

about a year and nine months.

Well, if I had a horse

for a year and nine months,

I'd sure know

how many teeth he had.

Well, she had three teeth,

I remember that.

Hannah:
hello?

What can I do for you?

Go on inside, Janey.

I don't want to, mama.

Go on.

Do like I told you.

How have you been, Hannah?

Why'd you come back?

Got tired of the life.

What are you hoping for,

coming around here?

Work.

You don't have any right

to come back this way.

You think I can't send you away.

Think you're still married to me,

but that isnt so.

Look, Hannah, just let me

work the place for a bit,

Like a hired hand.

No difference.

See how it runs.

I'm asking you, Hannah.

I don't want Janey upset.

As far as she knows,

her father is dead.
