00:01:51 Joe Bell, you have served here 16 months.
00:05:59 Shut the door.
00:09:29 For not being smart enough to run the other way.
00:12:54 Now, get out of here.
00:17:08 Look, Joe, it ain't so bad here.
00:20:16 and got you off that rock pile.
00:23:21 my corpse would still be hopping freight trains.
00:27:16 It's over the state line, that means we're free.
00:30:22 Hey.
00:34:06 around the stage someplace.
00:38:03 I didn't say that.
00:43:05 What do you say? Give me a break.
00:47:13 That's all right. I was only kidding.
00:51:51 Gee, I'm going to miss you.
00:56:32 Oh, I'm just closing up.
01:00:41 I tried to stop him, but he rushed right past me.
01:03:12 and you and your wife go and get some good food
01:05:57 and a better job than you ever dreamed of.
01:08:52 you're fired.
01:12:45 Joe, we can't go on like this.
01:15:32 That's right.
01:18:14 Your word?
01:21:34 you cannot brand them as criminals
01:26:38 Yeah, a place to hang our hats.
