I didn't take as much time as I thought kitty Now tell me about things here, huh? Nobody's been shot or hung I know There's one thing I don't like though. Oh, what's that kitty? You know Ben Hander? For one reason or another I've thrown Ben Hander in jail at least ten times Well, he and Steve Elzer have been running together the last couple of days. What? Mm-hmm mighty poor company for Elsa. I think you're wasting your time trying to help that kid math As much as I admire your reason he isn't wearing a gun. Is he not so far I don't like this kitty Could be that all Ben Hander needs to get into real troubles a partner Somebody just like Elsa will kind of look up to him egg him on.
