1
00:00:03,870 --> 00:00:06,668
Hear, hear. Hear.
2
00:00:06,773 --> 00:00:08,707
Court's called to order.
3
00:01:46,806 --> 00:01:51,573
Your Honor, there is no doubt in
the mind of the Commonwealth...
4
00:01:51,678 --> 00:01:55,341
that this prisoner is a confirmed
chicken thief.
5
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:59,578
He has no place in this God-fearing
community.
6
00:01:59,686 --> 00:02:01,711
He is a vagrant.
7
00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:05,416
He cometh from no man
knows whence.
8
00:02:05,525 --> 00:02:07,425
Since arriving in our midst...
9
00:02:07,527 --> 00:02:10,428
he has been known to do
no honest work.
10
00:02:12,132 --> 00:02:14,100
The Commonwealth of
Kentucky asks...
11
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,225
nay, demands...
12
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:19,099
that he be adjudged guilty...
13
00:02:19,205 --> 00:02:21,833
and sentenced to six months
on the chain gang.
14
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,181
Hey! Hey, boy! Wake up there.
15
00:02:30,283 --> 00:02:33,548
sheriff, wake him up there.
16
00:02:33,653 --> 00:02:36,121
If anybody's gonna sleep in this
court, it'll be me.
17
00:02:36,222 --> 00:02:38,713
-Hey, wake up.
-Huh?
18
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:40,725
Come here, boy.
19
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:43,853
Here. Come on over here.
Right there.
20
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:48,066
What's your name?
21
00:02:48,168 --> 00:02:50,568
Uh, Jeff Poindexter.
22
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:52,570
-Poindexter?
-Yeah.
23
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:55,106
-Who gave you that?
-Mr. Ranny.
24
00:02:55,241 --> 00:02:57,141
Ranny?
25
00:02:57,243 --> 00:03:01,873
You mean Major Randolph Poindexter
from down at-at-at Pine Bluff?
26
00:03:01,981 --> 00:03:03,881
Yes, Pine Bluff.
27
00:03:08,221 --> 00:03:11,622
Yeah. Looks like you, uh,
Poindexters...
28
00:03:11,724 --> 00:03:15,854
is always gettin' mixed up with
some chicken somehow.
29
00:03:15,962 --> 00:03:17,862
Hey, sergeant...
30
00:03:17,964 --> 00:03:22,458
it seems like I recollect, uh,
you and Major Ranny...
31
00:03:22,602 --> 00:03:27,005
havin'some, uh, connection with
the flesh of fowl at one time.
32
00:03:27,106 --> 00:03:29,006
Doggoned if we didn't!
33
00:03:29,108 --> 00:03:32,009
You know, Major Ranny was the
fire-eatin'est soldier...
34
00:03:32,111 --> 00:03:34,136
that ever chased a Yank up a tree!
35
00:03:34,247 --> 00:03:37,045
You know, Billy, you and me pretty
near starved that day...
36
00:03:37,150 --> 00:03:38,640
when we went foraging for a snack
after the Battle...
37
00:03:38,718 --> 00:03:40,242
of" Chickamaugy.''
38
00:03:40,353 --> 00:03:42,913
''Chickamaugy''?
39
00:03:43,022 --> 00:03:45,183
No, no. It was the...
40
00:03:45,291 --> 00:03:47,316
It-It was the Battle of Kennesaw
Mountain.
41
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:49,588
'Twas no such a thing!
It was ''Chickamaugy''!
42
00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:51,630
-No, you're both wrong!
-I'm not wrong!
43
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:56,668
It was the summer of'63, and we
were just outside of Nashville.
44
00:03:56,769 --> 00:03:58,862
No, Billy's right.
45
00:03:59,005 --> 00:04:01,872
I remember. For wasn't I there
with you?
46
00:04:02,008 --> 00:04:05,341
Your Honor, the Commonwealth
objects to this digression!
47
00:04:05,445 --> 00:04:07,913
Now, now, now, senator,
uh, you know...
48
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:11,506
Now the...Now the point is that,
...That the major...
49
00:04:11,618 --> 00:04:15,554
uh, he acted the part of a
gentleman and a soldier.
50
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:19,352
And he removed the temptation
from out of our path...
51
00:04:19,459 --> 00:04:24,192
by eatin' up all the fat hens in
the whole bunch...
52
00:04:24,297 --> 00:04:27,789
and leavin' us nothing but a lot
of old skinny dominick roosters.
53
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,629
-You remember, boys?
-Come to think of it, Billy,...
54
00:04:29,702 --> 00:04:31,829
they were Plymouth Rocks.
55
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:34,133
They were no such a thing! They
were Yankee chickens!
56
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,334
They were Rhode Island Reds!
I know 'cause l...
57
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:41,345
-Your Honor!
-Dominick!
58
00:04:41,447 --> 00:04:43,347
-Your Honor!
-It was dominicks!
59
00:04:43,449 --> 00:04:45,349
-Is this a court of law?
-I know this.
60
00:04:45,451 --> 00:04:49,251
I ask you, is this a court of law?
61
00:04:49,355 --> 00:04:52,620
Now, now, now, senator.
I wouldn't... I would,...
62
00:04:52,725 --> 00:04:55,216
Don't get on your high horse
that way.
63
00:04:55,328 --> 00:04:57,990
You know we ain't in any great big
hurry, but, uh, incidentally...
64
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,326
what are you...what are you charged
with there, boy?
65
00:05:00,466 --> 00:05:04,903
Nothing, Judge, but I wasn't near
them chickens, sure enough.
66
00:05:05,038 --> 00:05:07,029
I just fishin'.
67
00:05:07,173 --> 00:05:09,107
Fishin'? Where was you fishin'?
68
00:05:09,208 --> 00:05:12,200
Down sleepy River.
69
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:15,042
-Ain't no fish in sleepy River.
-There are so.
70
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:18,142
-Ain't neither!
-Full of catfish.
71
00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:20,651
-Doc's right, Jimmy.
-Yeah?
72
00:05:20,753 --> 00:05:22,653
sure enough.
73
00:05:22,755 --> 00:05:25,918
I catch catfish in there that long.
74
00:05:26,025 --> 00:05:28,550
There's your proof he's lying.
75
00:05:30,363 --> 00:05:32,831
Here. Come here. What
do you use for bait?
76
00:05:32,965 --> 00:05:35,456
Oh, I get a hunk of beef liver.
77
00:05:35,601 --> 00:05:37,501
Beef liver? That's good, huh?
78
00:05:37,603 --> 00:05:38,661
Yes. I take the beef liver and put
it on the hook...
79
00:05:38,738 --> 00:05:41,206
and chuck it out there.
80
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:44,003
Let 'em have a first piece for
nothin', see?
81
00:05:44,110 --> 00:05:47,273
And then you put some more on
there and chuck it out there.
82
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:50,372
And then they think they gonna
get that for nothin'.
83
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:53,350
-And you catch 'em as long as
you got the liver...Yeah?
84
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:54,681
And I go down there all the
time, and I don't...
85
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:57,120
carry nothin' but that liver.
86
00:06:02,462 --> 00:06:05,226
Yeah. I remember.
87
00:06:05,331 --> 00:06:09,028
Oh, down there. I bet it must have
been that long, you know?
88
00:06:09,168 --> 00:06:13,161
sure, sir. Sure enough.
89
00:06:16,743 --> 00:06:21,612
I've got to take down thejudge's clothes
90
00:06:21,714 --> 00:06:24,945
Got to take 'em in the house
91
00:06:25,051 --> 00:06:26,951
Yes, Lord
92
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:32,116
Got to get out that oldironin' board
93
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:36,787
Fix 'em up for the judge to wear
94
00:06:39,465 --> 00:06:41,626
Yes, Lord
95
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:45,898
That's what I is a goin' to do...
96
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:51,943
Praise the Lord! Mr. Rome!
97
00:06:52,044 --> 00:06:54,808
-Is you here or is you ain't?
-Hi, Aunt Dilsey!
98
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:56,677
How come you here? The judge

99
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:59,274
at that college learnin' to
be a lawyer man.
100
00:06:59,385 --> 00:07:01,376
Aunt Dilsey, I got stomach

101
00:07:01,487 --> 00:07:04,581
Lord help you, white child. What

102
00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:06,590
Not a darn thing. That's
the trouble.
103
00:07:06,692 --> 00:07:09,855
-What have you got for supper?
-Mr. Rome, you stay here.
104
00:07:09,962 --> 00:07:11,623

00:07:11,697 --> 00:07:13,597

And a great big bowl of milk
gravy and grits.
107
00:07:15,701 --> 00:07:16,861
And waffles?
108
00:07:17,003 --> 00:07:19,733
Don't you worry none, honey.
You is home now.
109
00:07:19,839 --> 00:07:22,501
Mr. Rome's home Mr. Rome's home.

00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:24,576
Mr. Rome's home Mr. Rome's home.
111
00:07:24,677 --> 00:07:26,645
Hey, Uncle Billy!
112
00:07:26,746 --> 00:07:28,646
Hiya!
113
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,909
Well, if it ain't Rome.
114
00:07:31,017 --> 00:07:32,985
Well, salt me down.
115
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:34,643
What happened up there? Did them
Yankees kick you out...
116
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,551
of that law school, huh?
117
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:38,851
sure, they did... with a diploma.
118
00:07:38,958 --> 00:07:40,653
You're now lookin' at a
full-fledged...
119
00:07:40,726 --> 00:07:42,091
member of the bar.
120
00:07:43,729 --> 00:07:46,129
Let me look at you. Hmm.
121
00:07:46,265 --> 00:07:49,666
Full-fledged, my gizzard-A lawyer.
122
00:07:49,769 --> 00:07:52,169
You know, you better get your
britches half-soled...
123
00:07:52,271 --> 00:07:53,670
'cause you're gonna sit
around a long time...
124
00:07:53,739 --> 00:07:55,798
before you get your first client.
125
00:07:55,908 --> 00:07:58,468
Well, I don't mind, Uncle Billy.
126
00:07:58,578 --> 00:07:59,745
You know what happened to
me before I got...
127
00:07:59,745 --> 00:08:01,645
my first client, don't you?
128
00:08:01,747 --> 00:08:03,612
Lord, I-I sat through two
Republican...
129
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:05,014
administrations before l...
130
00:08:11,257 --> 00:08:13,157
Who are you playing?
131
00:08:13,259 --> 00:08:16,023
I�m just doin' a little practicing

132
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:20,557

Put two of them balls down there,

136
00:08:27,106 --> 00:08:28,971
Two again?
137
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:30,973
Remember the last time.
138
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:32,712
I�m gonna show you what
would happen to Jimmy...
139
00:08:32,712 --> 00:08:34,179
Bagby now if he's, uh...
140
00:08:34,313 --> 00:08:36,543
I just wanna show you
how far I can...
141
00:08:36,616 --> 00:08:38,550
Ooh, look here!
142
00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:41,178
Look at them Yankee shoes
he's got on there, Jeff.
143
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,187
Look at that.
144
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:48,191
Yes, sir, I never seen shoes with
buttons on 'em before.
145
00:08:48,294 --> 00:08:50,990
I seen pants with buttons.
146
00:08:53,132 --> 00:08:55,191
-Judge, l...
-Oh, say, that's fine!
147
00:08:57,036 --> 00:09:00,028
Oh, uh, just, uh, take your
button shoes with you...
148
00:09:00,172 --> 00:09:03,300
and just step that off and see
just how far it is.
149
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:06,004
-All right, Uncle Billy.
-Think that's about a record.
150
00:09:06,112 --> 00:09:08,637
One, two, three, four.
151
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:16,545
-Hello.
-Rome.
152
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,459
Glad to see me?
153
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,461
Why, I thought you were still
up north.
154
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:25,997
I got in this morning.
155
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,157
How'd you know I was
back here?
156
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:30,201
Well, I didn't, but Uncle B-
157
00:09:32,204 --> 00:09:34,263
My, you-you look pretty
with those things.
158
00:09:34,407 --> 00:09:37,069
Isn't this a lovely spray?
159
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:39,076
Yes.
160
00:09:39,178 --> 00:09:40,668
Now, young lady, I want to
ask you a question.
161
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,611
Please let me down, Rome.
162
00:09:42,715 --> 00:09:44,683
Miss Gillespie, will you please
tell this court why you...
163
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:46,308
didn't answer my letters?
164
00:09:46,419 --> 00:09:48,853
-I�ve got to go in. Really, I have.
-''Now tell the truth...''
165
00:09:48,955 --> 00:09:51,355
the whole truth and nothing
but the truth, so help you-
166
00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:53,425
You know why.
167
00:09:53,526 --> 00:09:56,495
All I know is that you've changed
since I went away.
168
00:09:58,064 --> 00:09:59,964
Well, that isn't it, Rome.
169
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:02,033
It's-It's just that we've grown up.
170
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:05,862
You mean you don't like
me anymore?
171
00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:07,700
-Oh, Rome.
-Well, if my mother or...
172
00:10:07,773 --> 00:10:10,674
anybody has said anything...
173
00:10:10,776 --> 00:10:12,744
Oh, Ellie May, I mean...
174
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:14,710
''Well, I�m old enough to choose
my own friends.''
175
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:15,804
Please let me go.
176
00:10:15,915 --> 00:10:17,974
We've gotta get this thing settled
once and for all.
177
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:20,484
I�ve got to go in. Really,
I have.
178
00:10:20,586 --> 00:10:21,712
All right, then I�m comin' back
tonight and find...
179
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:23,516
out what it's all about.
180
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:27,923
-You can't. I have an engagement.
-Who with?
181
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:30,052
-Fleming Talley.
-Oh.
182
00:10:30,162 --> 00:10:32,096
Well, how about tomorrow night?
183
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:34,257
Oh, Rome, it's no use.
184
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,732
All right. lf that's the way you
feel about it...
185
00:10:36,836 --> 00:10:39,396
you can sit right there till we
understand each other.
186
00:10:41,507 --> 00:10:43,407
That's all right. That's all right.
187
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:46,637
We don't need any more practice
for them old men.
188
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:49,408
Besides, that, uh, exertion
calls for a julep.
189
00:10:50,883 --> 00:10:54,819
Yes, but you gonna wait for that
young gentleman before you...
190
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,820
-Wait for him?
-Uh...
191
00:10:56,922 --> 00:11:00,653
Unless young folks has changed
since I was skirmishin' around...
192
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,990
he won't be back for quite a while.
193
00:11:03,129 --> 00:11:06,792
Hey, Judge, look at that goat.
194
00:11:06,932 --> 00:11:10,595
-Ain't that a pretty sight?
-What? That goat?
195
00:11:10,736 --> 00:11:12,704
Ain't nothin' prettier in the world
than two young...
196
00:11:12,772 --> 00:11:15,297
folks in love in the spring.
197
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:17,306
Uh, Judge, what you gonna
do about that goat?
198
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:19,707
Oh, goat. My Lord, ain't you
got any sentiment?
199
00:11:19,779 --> 00:11:22,247
Ain't you got no girl? Wasn't
you ever in love?
200
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:24,612
standing around here talkin' about
a goat or something.
201
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:26,718
-But your mint.
-What about my mint?
202
00:11:26,786 --> 00:11:29,152
-''That's goat's in your mint bed.''
-''It's in my mint bed.!''
203
00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:31,155
-''Get out of there.!''
-''Get.!''
204
00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:33,316
Get on out of here!
205
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:39,124
Acting like you was starved! Get
you home with you! Shoo!
206
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,735
-Why, William Priest!
-Oh, hello, Carrie.
207
00:11:43,869 --> 00:11:47,236
This is a fine how do you do.
What will the neighbors say?
208
00:11:47,373 --> 00:11:49,637
I�m ashamed of you.
209
00:11:49,775 --> 00:11:51,743
What's ailing you now?
210
00:11:51,811 --> 00:11:55,372
Dadgum goat come in here and
eat up my mint bed there.
211
00:11:55,481 --> 00:11:59,281
I'll bet he must have been the
ruination of a million juleps.
212
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:03,321
You and your precious mint juleps-a
circuit court judge!
213
00:12:03,422 --> 00:12:05,390
Where is your dignity?
214
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:07,424
Dignity?
215
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:09,460
I don't reckon the Priest family...
216
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:10,722
will ever have to worry about
dignity as long...
217
00:12:10,796 --> 00:12:13,264
as you're alive and kickin'.
218
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:17,165
Well, it's a good thing somebody
in this family has pride.
219
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:18,736
I always told my brother when
he married you...
220
00:12:18,804 --> 00:12:21,272
that he saved the family name.
221
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:22,738
Well, if he were living, he
wouldn't be fooling...
222
00:12:22,808 --> 00:12:25,709
around the front yard
with a goat.
223
00:12:25,811 --> 00:12:27,711
That's not what I came for.
224
00:12:27,813 --> 00:12:29,713
Have you seen Rome?
225
00:12:29,815 --> 00:12:31,715
Oh, Rome? Rome?
226
00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:33,751
Oh, appears like I did see that,
uh, son of yours...
227
00:12:33,819 --> 00:12:35,480
around here a while ago.
228
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:38,614
I expect he's downtown though
now, uh, you know...
229
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:40,817
struttin' around, showin' off
his button shoes.
230
00:12:40,926 --> 00:12:42,826
Now don't you play possum with me.
231
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:46,955
As if I didn't know you've
been encouraging that...
232
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:50,466
that girl over there to set her
cap for Rome.
233
00:12:50,569 --> 00:12:52,662
Carrie, Carrie...
234
00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:54,773
if I didn't know that you had
the biggest heart...
235
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,330
of any woman in the world...
236
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:57,843
I'd think you was the most
suspicious creature...
237
00:12:57,843 --> 00:12:59,902
that ever come down the pike.
238
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:02,913
Never mind that. You come
up on the porch.
239
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:04,983
I want to talk to you.
240
00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:13,718
lf I�d have known that's the way
you felt about it,...
241
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:16,387
I wouldn't have hurried
home so fast.
242
00:13:16,495 --> 00:13:18,429
I�m sorry, Rome.
243
00:13:18,531 --> 00:13:20,829
After all, you have your career...
244
00:13:20,966 --> 00:13:22,729
and your family and everything
in the world that...
245
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:25,168
matters to you right here.
246
00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:26,738
I don't think you care what
matters to me.
247
00:13:26,806 --> 00:13:28,967
That's not fair, Rome.
248
00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:32,339
After all, I'm-I'm only telling you
for your own good.
249
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:39,482
William, I�m not a woman to beat
about the bush.
250
00:13:39,585 --> 00:13:44,420
This business of Rome and that
girl next door has got to stop.
251
00:13:44,523 --> 00:13:46,423
What do you got against
Ellie May?
252
00:13:46,525 --> 00:13:48,720
she's an awful sweet girl,
it seems to me.
253
00:13:48,828 --> 00:13:50,762
she's got gumption, and she
teaches school and...
254
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,457
supports herself.
255
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:56,399
I don't want to be unkind. she may
be a very nice girl and all that...
256
00:13:56,502 --> 00:14:00,199
but, after all, Rome is one of the
Kentucky Priests.
257
00:14:00,306 --> 00:14:03,469
And the name of Priest means
something in Kentucky.
258
00:14:04,777 --> 00:14:08,178
Well, uh, I�ve never heard that
it meant intolerance.
259
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,681
It means good stock and
family pride.
260
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:14,218
You know the kind of stock
she comes from.
261
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:18,717
Yep. Her,...
262
00:14:18,824 --> 00:14:21,725
Her ma come to this town
penniless and died...
263
00:14:21,794 --> 00:14:24,490
givin' birth to Ellie May.
264
00:14:24,597 --> 00:14:26,588
I remember the night.
265
00:14:26,732 --> 00:14:29,098
she was a frail little woman...
266
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:33,103
wasn't any bigger than Ellie
May is now...And just as pretty.
267
00:14:33,205 --> 00:14:35,036
But who was her father?
268
00:14:36,108 --> 00:14:40,374
Well, nobody don't,
rightfully know.
269
00:14:40,479 --> 00:14:43,448
Well, family may not mean
anything to you...
270
00:14:43,549 --> 00:14:46,177
but it means a whole lot to me.
271
00:14:46,285 --> 00:14:48,753
I�m not going to have my
grandchildren...
272
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:51,187
come into the world
under a cloud.
273
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:53,758
You, haven't, by any chance,
picked Hod Maydew...
274
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:56,386
as a grandpappy, have you?
275
00:14:56,495 --> 00:14:59,055
I know you've never liked
senator Maydew...
276
00:14:59,198 --> 00:15:01,189
but you can't say anything
against his folks.
277
00:15:01,333 --> 00:15:04,063
They've got money, they're
an old family...
278
00:15:04,169 --> 00:15:06,467
and Virginia's a lovely girl.
279
00:15:06,605 --> 00:15:09,267
she's always been crazy
about Rome.
280
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:12,208
He could do a lot worse.
281
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:15,212
Well, I guess, uh, me
and Rome...
282
00:15:15,314 --> 00:15:17,578
we ain't got anything to
say about it.
283
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:20,243
I knew you'd come around
to my way.
284
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:24,050
You're gonna...You're gonna stay
for supper, ain't ya, Carrie?
285
00:15:24,156 --> 00:15:26,056
Not tonight, thank you, William.
286
00:15:26,158 --> 00:15:27,750
The Daughters of the Confederacy
are having a chicken...
287
00:15:27,826 --> 00:15:29,691
supper at Kate Maydew's...
288
00:15:29,795 --> 00:15:31,695
and I�m late already.
289
00:15:31,830 --> 00:15:34,492
Looks like you Daughters get
more ferocious every year...
290
00:15:34,633 --> 00:15:37,693
Towards Yankees and,
fried chicken.
291
00:15:37,836 --> 00:15:40,168
-Got your badge on there.
-Yes.
292
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:43,207
-Mighty pretty.
-Good night, William.
293
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:45,209
sometimes, l,...
294
00:15:45,311 --> 00:15:47,779
I think you women got more
badges and medals...
295
00:15:47,846 --> 00:15:50,337
out of the war than the
soldiers did.
296
00:15:50,449 --> 00:15:53,111
Good night, Carrie.
297
00:15:57,690 --> 00:16:01,285
Listen to that old whip-poor-will
callin' his mate.
298
00:16:01,393 --> 00:16:03,725
Him and his kin has been nestin'
around here...
299
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:06,629
for nigh on 30 years.
300
00:16:06,765 --> 00:16:09,962
A lonesome kind of sound,
isn't it, Uncle Billy?
301
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:11,969
Mmm, 'tis so.
302
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:16,499
You know, the good Lord never
meant for nobody-
303
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:21,409
either man or bird-to live
by theirself.
304
00:16:21,513 --> 00:16:22,741
Uncle Billy, why didn't you come
live with us after...
305
00:16:22,815 --> 00:16:25,079
Aunt Margaret died?
306
00:16:28,220 --> 00:16:30,814
I never could stand your
ma's cookin'.
307
00:16:36,462 --> 00:16:41,092
Awful fine swing over there on
that other porch.
308
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:43,758
I wouldn't be surprised if there
ain't a pretty...
309
00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:45,861
girl sittin' in it now.
310
00:16:45,971 --> 00:16:48,405
she's got another fella tonight.
311
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:53,977
Ellie May sure is pretty.
312
00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:56,673
The fella who gets her will certainly
have to do some prancin'.
313
00:16:56,782 --> 00:17:01,014
He can't sit around and look
glum all the time.
314
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:05,046
-There he is now.
-Who?
315
00:17:05,157 --> 00:17:07,125
That Flem Talley.
316
00:17:07,226 --> 00:17:09,319
-The barber?
-Yeah.
317
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:14,858
Gives an awful poor shave,
that fella.
318
00:17:16,035 --> 00:17:18,560
Whoa. Whoa, babe.
319
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:32,706
Here I am, honey! Hee,
hee, hee!
320
00:17:33,752 --> 00:17:38,485
Ellie May, here's good news.Hee, hee!
321
00:17:40,492 --> 00:17:44,258
Hee, hee, hee, hee.
322
00:17:46,198 --> 00:17:49,759
Uh, son, uh, there ain't nothing'll
get your mind...
323
00:17:49,835 --> 00:17:51,860
off womenfolks like work.
324
00:17:51,970 --> 00:17:54,768
Will you run back in my library
there and get my...
325
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,899
old ''Kentucky Code of Statutes? ''
326
00:17:57,009 --> 00:18:00,968
It�s, uh-It�s an old calfskin book
up on the top shelf there.
327
00:18:03,649 --> 00:18:06,482
That gets me, that braying there.
328
00:18:06,585 --> 00:18:10,487
Long ears. I�m just gonna see
if I can't stop him.
329
00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:13,590
Gabby Rives and Joe Herringer-
330
00:18:13,692 --> 00:18:16,991
you know, the boys that work for
me down at my barbershop...
331
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:21,658
well, they comes to me tonight and
wants me to go over to old town.
332
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,792
some high-flying gals over there.
333
00:18:24,937 --> 00:18:26,871
But I tells 'em no.
334
00:18:27,005 --> 00:18:30,964
I can have all the fun I want
right here at home.
335
00:18:31,076 --> 00:18:34,045
Now, guess who I was
talkin' about.
336
00:18:34,146 --> 00:18:37,513
Couldn't I-Couldn't I make
you some lemonade?
337
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:40,176
Lemonade? Sure, honey.
338
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,253
And I got something to
sweeten it with...
339
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:45,846
right out of the mountains and
kickin' like a mule!
340
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,552
Hee, hee, hee!
341
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,396
Judge! Oh, Judge!
342
00:18:58,504 --> 00:19:01,029
You seen anything of Mr.
343
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:06,042
Mr. Flem Talley, the barberman, around here?
344
00:19:06,145 --> 00:19:08,943
No. What he be doin'around here?
345
00:19:09,047 --> 00:19:11,311
Uh, I don't know, Judge, but...
346
00:19:11,383 --> 00:19:14,887
but they's...they's headed thisway for him.
347
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:16,946
What are you... What are youtalkin'about?
348
00:19:17,055 --> 00:19:19,023
Who's they?
349
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:24,620
''Some lady's pappy with atwo...''barrel shotgun. ''
350
00:19:24,763 --> 00:19:28,221
He says Mr. Talley's beenmessin'around.
351
00:19:28,367 --> 00:19:32,030
He sure is in a killin'mood.
352
00:19:32,104 --> 00:19:36,666
What? You mean that, uh, he'sgoing to annihilate him?
353
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:41,637
No, sir.
354
00:19:41,713 --> 00:19:45,774
He...He just-just gonna shoot him.
That...That's all.
355
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:50,184
Oh, there ain't a thing that
I can do about it.
356
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:53,291
My job don't start until, uh...
357
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:56,588
they've got him all, uh, laid outin the morgue...
358
00:19:56,695 --> 00:20:01,064
full of buckshot, cold and dead...
359
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:03,101
and, uh, ready for burial.
360
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:05,100
And then I steps in.
361
00:20:05,237 --> 00:20:08,764
Uh, but, you-you, Judge...
362
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,400
you is the law.
363
00:20:11,543 --> 00:20:14,808
Oh, I can't do a thing about
it, as I said before...
364
00:20:14,913 --> 00:20:16,813
until the shooting is over.
365
00:20:16,915 --> 00:20:18,815
And, uh, then I�ll certainly
see that the, uh,...
366
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:21,785
murderer gets a fair trial.
367
00:20:23,822 --> 00:20:25,790
Giddap! Giddap!
368
00:20:41,506 --> 00:20:43,736
Uncle Billy, I couldn't find
that book anywhere.
369
00:20:43,842 --> 00:20:45,833
-What book?
-That Kentucky law book.
370
00:20:45,944 --> 00:20:49,937
Oh. Maybe I didn't have one.
371
00:20:52,818 --> 00:20:53,842
Ellie May is waitin' for
you over there.
372
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,682
What?
373
00:20:55,787 --> 00:20:58,153
Well, How do you know?
Are you sure?
374
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,849
Now don't be standin' here like a
jaybird gawkin' when I tell...
375
00:21:00,859 --> 00:21:01,291
you she's waitin'.
376
00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:03,520
Go on out of here and go.
377
00:21:40,065 --> 00:21:42,397
That dumb whip-poor-will.
378
00:21:44,803 --> 00:21:48,466
Mighty poor company on
a night like this.
379
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:53,476
Good night, Jeff.
380
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:25,035
Been a long time, honey, since...
381
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:28,300
you and the babies...
382
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:32,944
went away.
383
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:38,280
Oh, Rome come
home tonight.
384
00:23:42,387 --> 00:23:45,982
Little-Little Robert E.
would have been-
385
00:23:48,193 --> 00:23:51,492
He'd have been just the
same age as, uh-
386
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:53,564
as Rome is now.
387
00:23:58,703 --> 00:24:02,230
I guess that Rome comin' home...
388
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:05,503
is what makes it seem more
lonesome than...
389
00:24:08,146 --> 00:24:10,114
ever around here.
390
00:24:16,087 --> 00:24:18,419
Honey, you know that-
391
00:24:18,523 --> 00:24:22,619
that fella that, enlarged
that tintype?
392
00:24:22,727 --> 00:24:26,493
He-He sure did He sure did
a pretty job.
393
00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:30,635
I wish you could see it, honey.
394
00:24:50,589 --> 00:24:52,489
Oh.
395
00:24:52,591 --> 00:24:56,687
see, that-That fella put that
gilt on there's...
396
00:24:56,795 --> 00:24:58,763
a regular humbug.
397
00:25:02,234 --> 00:25:04,168
Gotta get that fixed.
398
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:23,082
Mmm, honey, it sure is a
pretty night.
399
00:25:25,357 --> 00:25:28,292
Been an awful late spring.
400
00:25:28,393 --> 00:25:30,793
But I don't know when I�ve seen
the flowers lookin'...
401
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:32,829
better this time of year.
402
00:25:42,507 --> 00:25:45,271
People are funny things...
403
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:50,542
always got their eye set
on something.
404
00:25:50,649 --> 00:25:53,675
Rome, he's got his eye set
on Ellie May.
405
00:25:53,785 --> 00:25:56,811
And Carrie, she's got hers set on
old Hod Maydew's...
406
00:25:56,888 --> 00:25:59,118
daughter for Rome.
407
00:26:00,158 --> 00:26:03,525
Old Hod, he's got his eye
set on my job.
408
00:26:05,196 --> 00:26:07,164
And some of'em's gonna
be disappointed.
409
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:13,568
Mmm, them honeysuckles
sure do smell sweet.
410
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:19,866
seems like I just can't get my
nose full enough of'em.
411
00:26:35,126 --> 00:26:37,788
Why, dad-burn, honey.
412
00:26:37,862 --> 00:26:40,490
There's Bob Gillis over
there at a grave.
413
00:26:46,972 --> 00:26:49,634
It�s at Ellie May's mother's.
414
00:26:51,042 --> 00:26:54,500
You're a pretty boy though.
415
00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:57,706
Yes, sir, you is.
416
00:27:01,286 --> 00:27:04,153
-Hi, Jimmy.
-Hello, Billy.
417
00:27:04,222 --> 00:27:06,452
What are you-What are you
doin' there?
418
00:27:06,524 --> 00:27:08,549
Figurin' on gettin' called to
the colors again?
419
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:10,492
Hello, Gillis.
420
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:13,655
Hello.
421
00:27:13,798 --> 00:27:17,359
You never know what them
Yanks is gonna do.
422
00:27:17,502 --> 00:27:19,970
We licked 'em once, and I�m
keepin' old Dead-eye ready...
423
00:27:20,105 --> 00:27:22,369
in case we-in case we
gotta do it again.
424
00:27:23,608 --> 00:27:28,170
say, uh, better look at old
General Forrest there.
425
00:27:28,313 --> 00:27:30,372
Think he's gonna need a little
shoein' pretty soon.
426
00:27:30,515 --> 00:27:33,575
Well, I�m-I�m mighty busy
right now, Billy...
427
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,586
shoein' them two horses
over there.
428
00:27:35,654 --> 00:27:38,521
Hey, Bob, we better take a look
at the judge's horse.
429
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:41,182
There's somethin'wrong.
430
00:27:49,367 --> 00:27:52,336
Have a snifter? Good corn.
431
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:55,268
You can smell the feet of the boy
that plowed it.
432
00:28:00,545 --> 00:28:02,775
That breath of yours is like
a hot mince pie.
433
00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:06,408
-Where you goin'?
-Goin' fishin'. Sleepy River.
434
00:28:06,518 --> 00:28:09,112
sleepy River? Why don't you
fish in the trough there?
435
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:13,017
-Need shoein'?
-Nope. All right for a while yet.
436
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:18,291
say, bad scar you got there.
Bullet?
437
00:28:18,396 --> 00:28:21,092
-Yeah.
-Get that in the war?
438
00:28:21,232 --> 00:28:23,166
Nope.
439
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:27,836
Uh, folks say you come
from up north.
440
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:29,907
Must have got that up there.
441
00:28:35,814 --> 00:28:39,215
As well talk to Jeff as far as
finding out anything.
442
00:28:40,852 --> 00:28:44,788
Hey, wake up here. somebody come
along and steal the horse...
443
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:47,050
and leave you sittin' here
holdin' the lines.
444
00:28:59,137 --> 00:29:01,697
All right. Come on with that
beef liver now.
445
00:29:01,806 --> 00:29:06,573
The bait is in the bait bag.
446
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:09,476
I always keep it in here.
447
00:29:10,048 --> 00:29:14,041
-Hurry up now.
-Uh, liver,...
448
00:29:14,152 --> 00:29:15,779
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't tell-Don't...
449
00:29:15,854 --> 00:29:17,879
tell me you ain't got it.
450
00:29:19,991 --> 00:29:23,449
It looks like that liver done
walked off by itself.
451
00:29:24,562 --> 00:29:26,462
Lord.
452
00:29:26,598 --> 00:29:28,793
Here. How am I gonna catch
any catfish...
453
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:31,028
when I ain't got no bait?
454
00:29:31,169 --> 00:29:32,796
Take this dime now and hurry
on back to town...
455
00:29:32,871 --> 00:29:35,237
and get me that beef liver.
456
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:37,240
-All right, sir.
-Hurry up now.
457
00:29:37,342 --> 00:29:40,869
All right. I�m practically
runnin' now.
458
00:29:43,882 --> 00:29:45,850
Ain't you gonna put your
shoes on?
459
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:49,716
Well, I�m savin' 'em in case
my feet wear out.
460
00:29:49,821 --> 00:29:51,721
And then I�ll have 'em.
461
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:53,723
Yes.
462
00:29:53,825 --> 00:29:55,816
As much sittin' around as you
do, it won't be...
463
00:29:55,894 --> 00:29:57,953
your feet that will wear out.
464
00:30:06,237 --> 00:30:11,641
Massa Jesus ''wroteme a note''
465
00:30:11,743 --> 00:30:16,442
He wrote it on the moon''
466
00:30:16,614 --> 00:30:22,416
He tells me to put on ''mySunday clothes''
467
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:29,358
For he's coming ''to fetchme soon''
468
00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:32,224
Massa Jesus
469
00:30:32,330 --> 00:30:35,356
Wrote me a note
470
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:41,405
He dropped it in a star''
471
00:30:41,539 --> 00:30:50,038
Say he gonna ''wash mewhite as snow''
472
00:30:50,148 --> 00:30:57,782
Though I be as black as tar.
473
00:30:59,724 --> 00:31:02,454
A coat! I got on a hat and...
474
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,223
this good old pretty vest hangin'
up in there doin' nothing.
475
00:31:06,331 --> 00:31:08,799
By grabs! Plague take you!
476
00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:11,094
I thought I told you to stay
away from that vest.
477
00:31:11,236 --> 00:31:14,672
-But, Judge, it got hung up on my.
-You got my coat on there too!
478
00:31:14,806 --> 00:31:17,297
-Yes, but this old skunk coat.
-Skunk coat?
479
00:31:17,442 --> 00:31:19,410
-I mean possum.
-What do you mean, possum?
480
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:20,841
-Uh, rabbit.
-Rabbit? Say, listen.
481
00:31:20,912 --> 00:31:23,278
Every inch of that is raccoon.
482
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,372
Better be raccoon. I took it
off a rich Yank.
483
00:31:25,483 --> 00:31:28,179
And now you get in there and put
them things away from there.
484
00:31:28,286 --> 00:31:30,186
Better get on over to that
festival there.
485
00:31:30,288 --> 00:31:32,779
Dilsey might be needin'
you too.
486
00:31:35,994 --> 00:31:37,262
-How are you, Judge?
487
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:38,854
-Just tolerable, Reverend. Just
tolerable.
488
00:31:38,930 --> 00:31:40,864
I�m afraid it takes ice cream and
cake to get you old...
489
00:31:40,932 --> 00:31:42,297
soldiers out to church.
490
00:31:42,433 --> 00:31:44,333
Yeah.
491
00:31:44,435 --> 00:31:48,838
lf the Lord ever gets in a jam,
why, he knows who to call.
492
00:31:48,940 --> 00:31:52,501
That's right. Going to church isn't
everything there is to it.
493
00:31:52,610 --> 00:31:55,738
-Evening, senator.
-Good evening, Reverend.
494
00:31:55,847 --> 00:31:58,543
-Good evening, Judge Priest.
-Good evening, Hod.
495
00:32:01,786 --> 00:32:04,380
There's one of our best
churchgoers.
496
00:32:04,489 --> 00:32:09,222
Yes, it's-It�s surprisin' how far
some men will go...
497
00:32:09,327 --> 00:32:11,795
to, uh, get a few votes.
498
00:32:11,896 --> 00:32:13,864
To bad we, uh-we didn't get
rid of him and get...
499
00:32:13,932 --> 00:32:16,230
him off up to Congress there...
500
00:32:16,367 --> 00:32:20,133
after him spendin' that, term
in the state senate.
501
00:32:21,706 --> 00:32:24,402
I understand he thinks you
deprived him of that honor.
502
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:29,208
Me? Great Democratic
party and Thomas Jefferson.
503
00:32:29,314 --> 00:32:32,147
Evidently, the senator doesn't
see it that way.
504
00:32:32,250 --> 00:32:34,878
They tell me that his cases
in your court...
505
00:32:34,986 --> 00:32:38,319
have taken on the appearance
of a personal feud...
506
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:41,620
now that he's a candidate
for your job.
507
00:32:41,726 --> 00:32:44,524
Oh, I wouldn't say that, Ashby.
508
00:32:44,629 --> 00:32:46,893
But I am gonna have to get out
and do some mighty...
509
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,933
tall electioneering, you know.
510
00:32:48,933 --> 00:32:51,299
Hod is a-He's a spellbinder
and a-
511
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:53,961
and a silver-tongue from
way back.
512
00:32:54,105 --> 00:32:58,098
I�m just a-well, an old country
jake who-Kind of a baby kisser.
513
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:05,072
I ain't got much to offer the boys
in the...In the way of rhetoric.
514
00:33:05,183 --> 00:33:07,845
I understand he doesn't approve
of your grammar.
515
00:33:07,952 --> 00:33:09,852
My grammar?
516
00:33:09,954 --> 00:33:14,118
First thing I learned in politics
was when to say ''ain't.''
517
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:24,997
speakin' of ice cream, did I ever
tell you about shiloh?
518
00:33:25,136 --> 00:33:27,036
-Yes.
-Didn't l? Didn't l?
519
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:29,299
Wait a minute, Doc. I want
you to hear this.
520
00:33:29,407 --> 00:33:30,874
Come here. Come on over here.
I want you to hear this.
521
00:33:30,942 --> 00:33:33,035
'Twas the eve before Shiloh...
522
00:33:33,144 --> 00:33:36,113
and them orders had to get across
the river to General Beauregard.
523
00:33:36,214 --> 00:33:38,808
What did I do? I took off
my clothes...
524
00:33:38,916 --> 00:33:41,714
and I stuffed the orders in my
mouth, and I plunged in.
525
00:33:41,819 --> 00:33:45,448
It was pitch dark. Well, sir,
I was going...
526
00:33:45,556 --> 00:33:48,218
Good evening.
527
00:33:48,326 --> 00:33:50,988
Are you swimming
again, Jimmy?
528
00:33:52,263 --> 00:33:54,163
Now where was l?
529
00:33:54,265 --> 00:33:55,133
-''Where was l?''
530
00:33:55,133 --> 00:33:56,600
-Right in the middle of the river,
Jimmy.
531
00:33:56,734 --> 00:33:57,894
Yes.! Yes, sir! There you are!
Swimming,...
532
00:33:57,969 --> 00:33:59,300
and 12 miles to go yet.
533
00:33:59,437 --> 00:34:01,371
And there I was, swimmin'
and swimmin'...
534
00:34:01,506 --> 00:34:03,770
divin' under and around
Yankee gunboats.
535
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,775
Yankee boats all around me!
536
00:34:05,877 --> 00:34:08,471
surrounded by Yankee gunboats,
and me dodgin' 'em.
537
00:34:08,579 --> 00:34:10,479
-Gunboats?
-Yes, sir.
538
00:34:10,581 --> 00:34:15,018
Puttin' them gunboats in there is
a new touch, ain't it, Jimmy?
539
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:20,755
-Hello, Rome.
-Hello.
540
00:34:20,858 --> 00:34:21,847
Now don't you young people
think you have to...
541
00:34:21,926 --> 00:34:24,087
entertain us old folks.
542
00:34:24,195 --> 00:34:26,095
That's right. Uh, run along now.
543
00:34:26,197 --> 00:34:28,324
They're getting ready for
the candy pull.
544
00:34:28,466 --> 00:34:30,366
Perhaps Rome has other plans.
545
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:32,402
Oh, no, he hasn't.
546
00:34:36,741 --> 00:34:40,905
I declare, Virginia gets prettier
every time I see her.
547
00:34:41,012 --> 00:34:44,345
And I know you're happy to have
Rome home again.
548
00:34:44,449 --> 00:34:47,009
Oh, he's such a nice boy.
549
00:34:47,118 --> 00:34:50,554
Don't they look fine together?
Look at them, Horace.
550
00:34:51,656 --> 00:34:55,956
Ah, yes. Youth, beauty.
551
00:34:56,060 --> 00:34:57,891
I remember when I first crossed
the threshold...
552
00:34:57,962 --> 00:35:00,328
of my young manhood...
553
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:03,662
and listened to the sweet
murmurings of my heart.
554
00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:19,215
Double portion, please.
555
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:21,217
You have a full portion there.
556
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,414
Oh, but we can pay for it,
can't we, Rome?
557
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:40,202
Gentlemen.
558
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:43,569
I propose to conduct my campaign
on a dignified basis.
559
00:35:43,674 --> 00:35:45,574
No personalities.
560
00:35:45,710 --> 00:35:47,945
Others may censure the
homespun manners of...
561
00:35:47,945 --> 00:35:50,004
Judge Priest on the bench.
562
00:35:50,114 --> 00:35:52,082
Not l.
563
00:35:53,851 --> 00:35:57,116
Others may question the methods
by which he has held...
564
00:35:57,255 --> 00:36:01,248
political control of the county
for a quarter of a century.
565
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:03,895
Not l.
566
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:06,898
For, gentlemen, merit alone will
count in the...
567
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:09,162
forthcoming election.
568
00:36:13,304 --> 00:36:15,363
Where have you been keeping
yourself, Rome?
569
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:17,030
I think you've forgotten
where I live.
570
00:36:18,009 --> 00:36:20,239
Nothing like that.
571
00:36:20,311 --> 00:36:23,280
Mother and Daddy are always
teasing me about you.
572
00:36:23,414 --> 00:36:26,474
I tell them you don't care
anything about me.
573
00:36:26,617 --> 00:36:29,347
Bet you have a girl up north.
574
00:36:29,420 --> 00:36:30,922
Well, even if l did have, haven't
you got every...
575
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:33,186
boy in town on your string?
576
00:36:33,291 --> 00:36:35,282
Oh, those stick-in-the-muds...
577
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,587
they make me tired.
578
00:36:37,728 --> 00:36:42,791
Besides, I�ve been waiting for
somebody else.
579
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:50,506
Attention!
580
00:36:51,742 --> 00:36:53,767
say, what's the-
581
00:36:53,844 --> 00:36:57,473
what's the prettiest gal at
the-At the festival here...
582
00:36:57,582 --> 00:37:00,278
moping around back here by
herself for, huh?
583
00:37:00,384 --> 00:37:02,477
You want some taffy, Judge?
584
00:37:04,589 --> 00:37:06,580
I ain't much of a taffy puller.
585
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:17,591
On second thoughts, you can
give me a wad of that too.
586
00:37:17,735 --> 00:37:20,602
All right. Put the butter on
your hands first.
587
00:37:34,318 --> 00:37:36,218
Hello, Uncle Billy.
588
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,481
Oh, hello.
589
00:37:38,589 --> 00:37:41,285
-You ain't doin' that right.
-What's the matter with it?
590
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:43,883
Here. Let me see your hands.
591
00:37:43,995 --> 00:37:46,156
You ain't got no butter on
there. No wonder.
592
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:47,891
Here. Here, let me show you.
Put mine in here.
593
00:37:47,965 --> 00:37:49,592
Let me show you.
594
00:37:49,734 --> 00:37:50,894
There. Go on up there. Run on up
there and put some...
595
00:37:50,968 --> 00:37:53,664
more stickum on your hands there.
596
00:37:53,804 --> 00:37:55,738
-Go on, right up there.
-All right, Uncle Billy.
597
00:37:55,873 --> 00:37:58,808
That's it. Now here. Put that
right over in there now.
598
00:37:58,909 --> 00:38:01,207
Now here-Here, here, here. There's
one-That's the thing.
599
00:38:01,312 --> 00:38:04,338
Candy pullin', you got to keep your
mind right on it. Right on it.
600
00:38:04,448 --> 00:38:06,712
Look, that's how you're gettin'
it all on your hands.
601
00:38:06,817 --> 00:38:08,978
Keep your mind on what you're
doin' there now.
602
00:38:09,086 --> 00:38:10,849
Lord, you're pullin' candy with
the champion candy...
603
00:38:10,921 --> 00:38:13,116
puller of this neighborhood now.
604
00:38:44,855 --> 00:38:45,822
I think this is your fault.
605
00:38:46,857 --> 00:38:52,693
The sun shines bright
606
00:38:52,797 --> 00:39:00,101
In my old Kentucky home
607
00:39:00,204 --> 00:39:04,004
'Tis summer
608
00:39:04,108 --> 00:39:11,207
The darkies are gay
609
00:39:12,316 --> 00:39:18,050
The corn top's ripe
610
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:25,960
And the meadow's in the bloom
611
00:39:26,063 --> 00:39:29,931
While the birds
612
00:39:30,067 --> 00:39:39,203
Make music all the day
613
00:39:39,310 --> 00:39:42,973
Weep no more
614
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,914
My lady
615
00:39:47,017 --> 00:39:54,185
Oh, weep no more today
616
00:39:54,291 --> 00:39:59,786
We will sing one song
617
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:07,929
Of my old Kentucky home
618
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:17,310
Of my old Kentucky home
619
00:40:17,415 --> 00:40:25,618
Far away
620
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:36,229
-Mornin', everybody.
-Good mornin', Judge. You're next.
621
00:40:36,367 --> 00:40:39,302
say, Flem, you've got the only
lively spot in town.
622
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:41,303
Hee, hee, hee.
623
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:43,933
Here, Gabby, what's the latest
news in the...
624
00:40:44,008 --> 00:40:46,602
paper this morning?
625
00:40:49,180 --> 00:40:51,239
-Hello, Lige.
-Howdy, Judge.
626
00:40:51,315 --> 00:40:55,149
Say, you ain't been in
lately, have you?
627
00:40:57,888 --> 00:41:00,379
-Good mornin', Mr.
-Good mornin'.
628
00:41:08,933 --> 00:41:10,798
-Nice day.
-Yeah.
629
00:41:10,935 --> 00:41:13,403
Oh, Flem, here she comes.
630
00:41:19,043 --> 00:41:23,412
And does she like her Flemmie!
Hee, hee, hee!
631
00:41:23,547 --> 00:41:26,345
Hey, Flem, when you two
gettin' hitched?
632
00:41:26,450 --> 00:41:29,112
Don't know as I heard nobody
talkin' about marriage!
633
00:41:31,655 --> 00:41:34,249
You ain't scared of no shotgun
wedding, are you?
634
00:41:34,358 --> 00:41:37,816
Not as long as she ain't
got no pa!''
635
00:41:43,567 --> 00:41:46,434
Get up. Stand up.
636
00:41:49,974 --> 00:41:50,941
say, that fella's gonna make
himself mighty...
637
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:53,738
unpopular around here.
638
00:41:53,878 --> 00:41:55,743
-That's right, Judge.
-Yeah.
639
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:56,938
There's about 2,000 male
citizens here that's...
640
00:41:57,014 --> 00:41:59,039
gonna be mighty sore at him...
641
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:00,582
Yeah.
642
00:42:00,651 --> 00:42:01,879
when they find out that he
punched you in...
643
00:42:01,952 --> 00:42:04,079
the jaw before they could.
644
00:42:11,862 --> 00:42:15,298
Yes, he's gonna be awful
unpopular around here.
645
00:42:22,139 --> 00:42:25,040
We're not licked till the last
shot's fired.
646
00:42:25,142 --> 00:42:30,842
He ain't gonna have no excuse. l
got the grounds in good shape.
647
00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:33,313
-You-You choose up with Billy.
-There you go.
648
00:42:33,417 --> 00:42:36,147
-Yeah.
-One, two.
649
00:42:36,253 --> 00:42:39,347
Oh, you have me.
650
00:42:42,059 --> 00:42:43,959
-Who starts? Herman?
-Yes, sir.
651
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:04,077
Uh...
652
00:43:04,181 --> 00:43:08,311
My wife and I lives all alone.
653
00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:11,411
In a little hut we call our own.
654
00:43:11,522 --> 00:43:12,957
You don't put enough in that,
Dilsey. Judge...
655
00:43:12,957 --> 00:43:15,425
likes more than that.
656
00:43:15,526 --> 00:43:17,426
I said.
657
00:43:18,662 --> 00:43:23,099
Yes'm. You got a spare one
of them...glasses?
658
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:29,272
I ain't tryin' to tell you what
to do. Honest.
659
00:43:30,574 --> 00:43:32,565
Always somebody tryin' to-
660
00:43:32,710 --> 00:43:35,577
Hey! Cut them monkeyshines!
661
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:37,982
How you ''spect'' the judge to win
that croquet game...
662
00:43:37,982 --> 00:43:40,815
with no solace in his stomach?
663
00:43:44,755 --> 00:43:47,690
Hey, Dilsey, you done
forgot the jug.
664
00:43:47,791 --> 00:43:50,760
The jug here.
665
00:43:50,861 --> 00:43:55,161
All right. You can't say I never
told you now.
666
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:59,031
Leavin' somebody here with all
this stuff.
667
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:04,972
I bet she gonna blame me for.
668
00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:08,044
Don't see you around much.
669
00:44:08,178 --> 00:44:10,078
Nope.
670
00:44:10,180 --> 00:44:12,842
-Kind of keep to yourself, don't you?
-Yep.
671
00:44:21,792 --> 00:44:22,918
Joe, get some more beer while
I knocks me that...
672
00:44:22,993 --> 00:44:25,587
14 ball down there in the corner.
673
00:44:25,696 --> 00:44:27,857
I�ll pay for it.
674
00:44:29,500 --> 00:44:32,367
-Hey, Flem, Gillis is out there.
-Yeah?
675
00:44:32,469 --> 00:44:34,369
-Yes.
-Come on. Let's get him.
676
00:44:34,471 --> 00:44:35,938
No. Hold your horses now. He'll
be headin' through...
677
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:38,167
here in a minute goin' home.
678
00:44:38,308 --> 00:44:40,208
-You fellas with me?
-Sure.
679
00:44:40,310 --> 00:44:42,210
sure, we're with ya.
680
00:44:49,119 --> 00:44:51,212
-Another?
-Nope.
681
00:45:04,735 --> 00:45:07,863
Get him, Joe.! A knife.!He's got a knife!
682
00:45:10,007 --> 00:45:12,942
I got him.! Oh, he cut me.
683
00:45:13,077 --> 00:45:15,341
-Get a doctor, quick.!''
-What happened?
684
00:45:15,446 --> 00:45:18,074
Why, he pulled a knife on
Flem and cut 'im.
685
00:45:18,182 --> 00:45:20,241
He cut Flem. We saw 'im.
686
00:45:20,350 --> 00:45:22,978
-With a knife?''-Yeah. We saw 'im. Look at that.''
687
00:45:36,867 --> 00:45:39,358
Hey, Uncle Billy!
688
00:45:39,470 --> 00:45:42,234
-Uncle Billy! Uncle Billy.
-All right.
689
00:45:42,339 --> 00:45:45,240
-Look out. Look out. In a minute.
-This is important.
690
00:45:45,342 --> 00:45:49,039
-Oh, no. No, no.
-Will you get outta here?
691
00:45:49,146 --> 00:45:52,081
You're already out of the game.
692
00:45:52,182 --> 00:45:54,082
-Git! Get outta here.
-Oh, no. Oh!
693
00:45:54,184 --> 00:45:56,084
-Oh, no.
-Go ahead and hit it.
694
00:45:56,186 --> 00:45:58,086
-Get away. Get away. Get away. Get
away. -Uncle Billy!
695
00:45:58,188 --> 00:46:00,486
He missed it! He missed it!
He missed it!
696
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:02,957
-He missed it.
-Rome, please. Will you?
697
00:46:03,060 --> 00:46:05,824
-Wait. This is an important game.
-Keep still. Keep still now.
698
00:46:05,929 --> 00:46:08,329
Keep still. Keep still.
699
00:46:08,432 --> 00:46:10,332
Yippee! Yippee!
700
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:12,334
We're champions!
701
00:46:12,436 --> 00:46:14,336
-Uncle Billy, lemme talk to you.
-Golly.
702
00:46:14,438 --> 00:46:15,905
I don't see how the south lost the
war with a guy...
703
00:46:15,973 --> 00:46:18,100
in it could argue like you.
704
00:46:18,242 --> 00:46:19,903
-Uncle Billy...
-What is the matter? You've already...
705
00:46:19,977 --> 00:46:21,103
made me lose the game.
706
00:46:21,211 --> 00:46:22,906
-Uncle Billy, I got a client.
-Well, who is it? What's...
707
00:46:22,980 --> 00:46:24,379
the matter with 'im?
708
00:46:24,481 --> 00:46:26,381
Gillis. You know, Mr.
Bagby's man.
709
00:46:26,483 --> 00:46:28,007
What's that? Bob Gillis?What's he done?
710
00:46:28,118 --> 00:46:30,018
-He cut up Flem Talley.
-Yeah?
711
00:46:30,154 --> 00:46:32,714
Uh-huh, and right after he gave
himself up, he sent for me.
712
00:46:32,823 --> 00:46:34,723
Well, I�ll be kicked by a mule.
713
00:46:34,825 --> 00:46:37,259
-Did he cut him bad?
-Well, can't tell yet.
714
00:46:37,361 --> 00:46:39,261
Gee, Uncle Billy, he sent for me.
715
00:46:39,363 --> 00:46:40,057
It'll be the biggest case in your
whole court session,...
716
00:46:41,031 --> 00:46:43,431
and I�ll be defendin' 'im.
717
00:46:43,534 --> 00:46:46,298
Well, I wouldn't gloat too
soon now.
718
00:46:46,403 --> 00:46:48,997
Oh, don't you worry. Hey!
Ellie May!
719
00:46:49,106 --> 00:46:52,041
See here-I�m going to getdown to thatjail...
720
00:46:52,142 --> 00:46:54,167
and see what that fella's gotto say for himself.
721
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:56,211
-'' I�m going to see Talley.''
-Them darned robbers.
722
00:46:56,313 --> 00:46:58,577
They robbed us out of
that, Herman.
723
00:46:58,682 --> 00:47:00,877
Now, uh, you better get on
down there with me...
724
00:47:00,984 --> 00:47:04,818
because, uh, you're liable to get a
chance to, uh, go as bailiff.
725
00:47:05,923 --> 00:47:07,982
Ellie May.
726
00:47:08,091 --> 00:47:11,356
-Ellie May, I got a client.
-Oh, Rome, I knew you would!
727
00:47:11,461 --> 00:47:12,018
Come on over. I want to talk to
Uncle Billy and...
728
00:47:12,996 --> 00:47:14,463
tell you about it.
729
00:47:14,565 --> 00:47:17,898
That's sort of novelty, Herman,the barber getting cut up.
730
00:47:18,001 --> 00:47:19,025
Whoever cut him up couldn't
have cut him much...
731
00:47:20,003 --> 00:47:22,096
if they used the barber's razor.
732
00:47:23,841 --> 00:47:25,741
Where's Rome?
733
00:47:25,843 --> 00:47:27,936
I won't have it! That's all.
His getting mixed...
734
00:47:28,011 --> 00:47:30,036
up with that kind of people.
735
00:47:30,147 --> 00:47:34,243
-Oh, what's he done now?
-Well, he's done enough!
736
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:39,147
Mother, what's the matter?
Is something wrong?
737
00:47:39,256 --> 00:47:40,951
lf you're in the habit of
discussing your affairs...
738
00:47:41,024 --> 00:47:43,891
before strangers, I�m not.
739
00:47:43,994 --> 00:47:46,622
-Well, Ellie May's not a stranger.
-Excuse me, Rome, I�ll go.
740
00:47:46,730 --> 00:47:47,958
-No, wait.
-All right. I have...
741
00:47:48,031 --> 00:47:49,259
nothing to hide.
742
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:52,931
Carrie, what's the matter?
Have you-
743
00:47:53,036 --> 00:47:54,970
Have you been out in the
sun too much?
744
00:47:55,038 --> 00:47:56,335
You shut up, William Priest.
745
00:47:56,473 --> 00:47:57,963
I hold you responsible for
everything...
746
00:47:58,041 --> 00:47:59,338
that's happened.
747
00:47:59,443 --> 00:48:01,308
Are you going to defend
that man?
748
00:48:01,445 --> 00:48:04,346
Mr. Gillis? You bet I am.
749
00:48:04,448 --> 00:48:05,915
-''Oh, no, you're not.''
-Mother, what do...
750
00:48:05,983 --> 00:48:07,211
you mean, I�m not?
751
00:48:07,317 --> 00:48:10,844
I suppose you know what's
behind this drunken brawl.
752
00:48:10,954 --> 00:48:13,479
No? Well, then, I�ll tell you.
753
00:48:13,590 --> 00:48:15,922
''They were fighting over that
girl in a saloon.!''
754
00:48:15,993 --> 00:48:18,154
Mother, that's not so!
755
00:48:19,429 --> 00:48:22,887
Carrie, you can accumulate
more misinformation...
756
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,900
in a shorter time than anybody...
757
00:48:25,002 --> 00:48:27,937
-Who told you all this rigamarole?
-Virginia Maydew.
758
00:48:28,038 --> 00:48:30,506
-Who?
-''Virginia Maydew.''
759
00:48:30,607 --> 00:48:31,938
-Oh.
-''She got it straight...
760
00:48:32,009 --> 00:48:33,169
from her father.''
761
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:35,642
A-And brought it straight to you.
762
00:48:35,746 --> 00:48:37,805
she wanted to warn Rome!
763
00:48:39,316 --> 00:48:41,750
I know you've never liked me,
Mrs. Priest.
764
00:48:41,852 --> 00:48:44,047
I know you've tried to stop Rome
from going with me.
765
00:48:44,154 --> 00:48:46,145
I know you think I�m not good
enough for him.
766
00:48:46,256 --> 00:48:48,486
Well, let me tell you something.
767
00:48:48,592 --> 00:48:49,957
lf Rome were half as mean as
you are, he wouldn't...
768
00:48:50,027 --> 00:48:52,427
be good enough for me.
769
00:48:54,197 --> 00:48:56,893
Well, of all things!
770
00:48:59,169 --> 00:49:01,831
Carrie-looks like you
run second.
771
00:49:01,939 --> 00:49:06,376
Oh, no, I don't. lf Rome's father
were alive, he'd back me up.
772
00:49:06,510 --> 00:49:07,909
Rome's already got himself talked
about all over...
773
00:49:07,978 --> 00:49:09,707
town with this girl.
774
00:49:09,813 --> 00:49:10,905
And I�m not going to have
him publicly...
775
00:49:10,981 --> 00:49:13,108
defending her in court!
776
00:49:15,585 --> 00:49:19,021
Well, Rome, you see how your
mother feels about it...
777
00:49:19,089 --> 00:49:22,024
so, looks like you lost your
first client.
778
00:49:24,394 --> 00:49:26,624
They're certainly hard
to get too.
779
00:49:26,697 --> 00:49:27,998
No, Uncle Billy, I haven't
lost anything.
780
00:49:27,998 --> 00:49:30,023
Rome!
781
00:49:30,100 --> 00:49:32,034
Mother, I think I�m old enough
to know my own mind.
782
00:49:33,003 --> 00:49:35,005
I said I�d defend Mr. Gillis,
and I�m going to...
783
00:49:35,005 --> 00:49:36,438
go through with it.
784
00:49:45,515 --> 00:49:47,676
Right this way, Reverend.
785
00:49:47,784 --> 00:49:50,582
Have that chair there,
please, sir.
786
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:52,985
-Hi, Reverend. How are you?
-How do you do?
787
00:51:09,132 --> 00:51:11,066
Court now called to order.
788
00:51:12,035 --> 00:51:15,471
We're going to have a long
session today.
789
00:51:18,308 --> 00:51:20,208
May it please the court...
790
00:51:22,512 --> 00:51:26,175
I would point out that for
many years...
791
00:51:26,249 --> 00:51:28,051
a political and personal difference
has existed between...
792
00:51:28,051 --> 00:51:31,782
Your Honor and myself.
793
00:51:33,056 --> 00:51:35,422
Now that I am a candidate
for the exalted office...
794
00:51:35,559 --> 00:51:38,494
which you have held for
so many years...
795
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:41,497
those differences have
reached a point...
796
00:51:41,565 --> 00:51:44,591
where for the protection
of the people...
797
00:51:45,735 --> 00:51:49,068
I must demand an impartial
trial judge.
798
00:51:49,206 --> 00:51:53,700
Uh, per-perhaps I�m-I�m
gettin' deaf...
799
00:51:53,844 --> 00:51:58,178
but, uh, the fact had never
reached me before.
800
00:51:58,281 --> 00:52:03,014
Are you insinuating that you won't
get full justice in this court?
801
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,985
I maintain that my language was
sufficiently plain for...
802
00:52:05,055 --> 00:52:06,818
any comprehension...
803
00:52:06,923 --> 00:52:09,016
however obtuse.
804
00:52:09,126 --> 00:52:11,185
And I will make it even franker.
805
00:52:11,294 --> 00:52:13,956
I charge in the presence of
two witnesses...
806
00:52:14,064 --> 00:52:16,589
you took sides with the
defendant Gillis...
807
00:52:16,700 --> 00:52:18,759
in a prior attack upon
this plaintiff.
808
00:52:21,037 --> 00:52:25,633
I been sittin' on this bench
for nigh on 20 years.
809
00:52:25,775 --> 00:52:29,040
And nobody has ever asked
me to step down.
810
00:52:29,146 --> 00:52:30,807
I�ll file an affidavit of
prejudice.
811
00:52:30,914 --> 00:52:34,077
That won't hardly be necessary.
812
00:52:34,184 --> 00:52:36,015
Then, I call upon you, Judge
Priest, to vacate the...
813
00:52:36,086 --> 00:52:37,280
bench during this trial...
814
00:52:37,387 --> 00:52:40,652
and yield your place to a
qualified judge!
815
00:52:54,271 --> 00:52:56,171
l,...
816
00:52:58,175 --> 00:53:03,772
I�m...I�m not denying, senator,
that you.
817
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,348
Well, you kind of took my
breath away.
818
00:53:07,551 --> 00:53:12,955
I guess I had, uh, just sort of...
819
00:53:13,056 --> 00:53:18,392
got the habit that I was took for
granted here on this bench.
820
00:53:21,231 --> 00:53:23,995
Gosh, I was...I was pretty near
raised in this...In...
821
00:53:24,067 --> 00:53:26,592
this courtroom.
822
00:53:28,271 --> 00:53:32,731
When I quit fighting in '65...
823
00:53:39,115 --> 00:53:41,913
for what we thought was right...
824
00:53:42,986 --> 00:53:46,114
I kind of calmed down...
825
00:53:46,223 --> 00:53:50,956
found out l...I couldn't lick the
whole United states.
826
00:53:52,429 --> 00:53:57,128
I come back here to my
hometown.
827
00:53:57,234 --> 00:53:59,395
And I put up my shingle.
828
00:53:59,502 --> 00:54:03,836
It wasn't long before I was
sittin' on that bench.
829
00:54:06,142 --> 00:54:12,081
Maybe I did have a hankering
for the spirit of the law...
830
00:54:13,583 --> 00:54:17,041
and not the letter...
831
00:54:18,655 --> 00:54:24,457
but as far as I know, nobody ever
found cause to complain...
832
00:54:26,229 --> 00:54:28,527
till now.
833
00:54:30,333 --> 00:54:33,928
Now, you,...you jury...
834
00:54:34,070 --> 00:54:36,061
you forget everything
that I�ve said.
835
00:54:38,008 --> 00:54:43,071
And, my feelings has
no place...
836
00:54:43,179 --> 00:54:47,912
in the,...in the records
of...Of this trial.
837
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:52,350
Now, if you'll excuse me...
838
00:54:52,455 --> 00:54:56,221
and neither side has any
objection...
839
00:54:57,494 --> 00:55:02,124
I�d like to ask the Honorable
Floyd Fairleigh...
840
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,598
if he won't come up here...
841
00:55:08,405 --> 00:55:11,772
and take-
842
00:55:11,841 --> 00:55:17,074
take my-My place on-On
the bench.
843
00:55:51,047 --> 00:55:51,581
Well, what happened then?
844
00:55:51,581 --> 00:55:54,550
Well, what happened then?
845
00:55:59,656 --> 00:56:03,683
Gentlemen of the jury, in
plain language...
846
00:56:03,793 --> 00:56:06,887
the defendant here burst in upon
these three worthy citizens.
847
00:56:06,996 --> 00:56:09,464
I-I object, Your Honor.
848
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:12,295
I deny that my client ever burst
into any place or anything.
849
00:56:12,402 --> 00:56:15,064
Objection sustained.
850
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:17,173
so be it, Your Honor.
851
00:56:18,842 --> 00:56:19,968
Nevertheless, I shall demonstrate
that my...
852
00:56:20,043 --> 00:56:22,568
young friend's client here...
853
00:56:22,645 --> 00:56:24,909
''did'' burst into something.
854
00:56:25,014 --> 00:56:27,482
That armed with a lethal
weapon, to wit...
855
00:56:27,617 --> 00:56:31,576
a dirk, dagger or knife of deadly
length and deadly sharpness...
856
00:56:31,654 --> 00:56:35,488
he burst into Mr. Talley's
quivering flesh.
857
00:56:35,625 --> 00:56:38,594
-''I object, Your Honor.''
-''Objection sustained.''
858
00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:44,328
Your Honor's humble servant bows
to Your Honor's august ruling.
859
00:56:47,237 --> 00:56:52,300
In due time, Mr. Talley's scarred
and mutilated person...
860
00:56:52,442 --> 00:56:54,808
will bespeak the verity
of my claim...
861
00:56:54,944 --> 00:56:56,002
with a silent eloquence far
exceeding the powers...
862
00:56:56,112 --> 00:56:58,580
of my poor tongue.
863
00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:16,593
We was playing bottle pool when he
come in and attacked at me.
864
00:57:16,699 --> 00:57:19,327
Didn't ''you'' attack him with
a billiard cue?
865
00:57:19,436 --> 00:57:22,894
Not until after he come at
me with a knife.
866
00:57:25,008 --> 00:57:26,908
Well, it...it's just like Flem says.
867
00:57:27,010 --> 00:57:32,209
We wasn't paying him no mind until
he come lookin' for Flem.
868
00:57:32,315 --> 00:57:34,875
But weren't you three all armed
with billiard cues?
869
00:57:36,219 --> 00:57:39,655
Well, never heard of nobody
playing pool without 'em.
870
00:57:45,462 --> 00:57:48,056
It�s just like Flem and Joe says.
He come in lookin' for trouble.
871
00:57:49,065 --> 00:57:51,033
You don't like the defendant,
do you?
872
00:57:51,100 --> 00:57:52,192
Who does?
873
00:58:01,010 --> 00:58:04,104
Your Honor, the defense is through
with the witness.
874
00:58:07,050 --> 00:58:09,678
I should think my young
learned colleague...
875
00:58:09,786 --> 00:58:12,186
would be glad to be through
with the witness.
876
00:58:15,725 --> 00:58:19,161
Your Honor, the prosecution rests.
877
00:58:38,548 --> 00:58:43,781
Before the defense proceeds, this
court recesses for half an hour.
878
00:58:45,889 --> 00:58:49,848
Sure told him something.''
879
00:58:49,959 --> 00:58:53,554
I don't know why you did
it, Mr. Gillis...
880
00:58:53,663 --> 00:58:56,291
but Judge Priest told me what
happened in the barber shop.
881
00:58:56,399 --> 00:58:58,299
Oh, you've got to tell the jury.
882
00:58:58,401 --> 00:58:59,959
They'd never convict you in a
million years if they knew...
883
00:59:00,036 --> 00:59:01,833
you were defending a girl's name.
884
00:59:01,971 --> 00:59:02,960
Don't you see? You can't think
of me now.
885
00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:05,803
You've got to think of yourself.
886
00:59:05,909 --> 00:59:07,968
Look, Mr. Gillis, I don't want to
bring Ellie May's name into...
887
00:59:08,044 --> 00:59:11,138
this thing any more than you do...
888
00:59:11,247 --> 00:59:13,147
but she's right.
889
00:59:13,249 --> 00:59:15,149
They can give you 1 0 years
for assault...
890
00:59:15,251 --> 00:59:16,980
and the way Maydew's working
on the jury,...
891
00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:17,985
they'll give you the limit.
892
00:59:18,087 --> 00:59:19,987
You've got to tell the truth,
Mr. Gillis. Don't you see?
893
00:59:20,056 --> 00:59:21,921
You've got to.
894
00:59:22,025 --> 00:59:24,425
I ain't gonna tell 'em anything.
895
00:59:29,299 --> 00:59:31,995
Yes, sir, Talley lied all the
way through.
896
00:59:32,101 --> 00:59:34,763
And Herringer and Gab Rive,
they lied too.
897
00:59:34,904 --> 00:59:37,338
It was three against one in Billy
Gaynor's back room.
898
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,000
And it's three against one in this
here courtroom.
899
00:59:40,143 --> 00:59:43,078
Have you ever been in any other
cutting scrape in town before?
900
00:59:43,179 --> 00:59:45,647
-No, sir.
-That's all.
901
00:59:46,783 --> 00:59:48,683
One moment.
902
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:57,893
Where do you come from,
Mr. Gillis?
903
00:59:57,994 --> 00:59:59,962
I ain't a-sayin'.
904
01:00:00,063 --> 01:00:02,031
You aren't exactly what we
southerners would call...
905
01:00:02,098 --> 01:00:03,656
a sociable person, are you?
906
01:00:03,766 --> 01:00:05,666
-I mind my own business.
-Precisely.
907
01:00:05,768 --> 01:00:07,030
''Except when you go looking
for trouble.''
908
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:09,333
I don't go looking for trouble.
909
01:00:09,472 --> 01:00:11,406
But I ain't the one to run
away from it.
910
01:00:12,742 --> 01:00:15,336
How long have you had a grievance
against Mr. Talley?
911
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:17,879
Mmm, we had a run-in a few days
before he jumped me.
912
01:00:17,981 --> 01:00:21,917
''A run''-''in, eh? ''And what was
this run''-''in about? ''
913
01:00:22,018 --> 01:00:24,612
Well, well, come on. Tell the jury.
What did you hate him for?
914
01:00:24,721 --> 01:00:26,052
-''I ain't a''...''sayin:''
-''Then you didn't have any...
915
01:00:26,122 --> 01:00:27,089
reason for knifing him?''
916
01:00:27,256 --> 01:00:27,890
-I didn't say that.
917
01:00:27,890 --> 01:00:29,619
-''Make up your mind. Why did you
hate him?''
918
01:00:29,726 --> 01:00:32,957
I ain't a...sayin'.
919
01:00:33,062 --> 01:00:36,031
That's all, Your Honor.
920
01:00:37,133 --> 01:00:39,033
Anything further?
921
01:00:39,135 --> 01:00:41,160
That's all, Your Honor.
The defense rests.
922
01:00:48,411 --> 01:00:50,902
This court will adjourn till
tomorrow morning.
923
01:00:52,382 --> 01:00:55,840
It is our hope that the summations
will be brief...
924
01:00:55,952 --> 01:00:57,078
so that we may all attend the
reunion ceremonies...
925
01:00:57,153 --> 01:00:59,951
which will begin at noon.
926
01:01:09,666 --> 01:01:12,226
Well, Reverend Ashby.
927
01:01:12,368 --> 01:01:17,806
say, this is a pleasure... to
welcome you.
928
01:01:17,974 --> 01:01:19,066
I-I don't get the chance to
do this often.
929
01:01:19,142 --> 01:01:22,009
It certainly does me honor.
930
01:01:22,111 --> 01:01:25,603
Here, Jeff. Uh, make the reverend
comfortable there.
931
01:01:30,887 --> 01:01:36,018
It, looks like you, kind of caught
me red-handed there.
932
01:01:39,128 --> 01:01:44,065
Well, could l, you know, kind
of inveigle-
933
01:01:44,200 --> 01:01:50,105
Been a long, tiresome day, and,
uh, it's mostly mint.
934
01:01:50,239 --> 01:01:54,369
No, thank you, William. l
appreciate your subtlety.
935
01:01:54,477 --> 01:01:57,241
You know, I kind of thought
that, uh-That, uh-
936
01:01:57,346 --> 01:01:59,109
that you'd be working on
your Memorial...
937
01:01:59,182 --> 01:02:01,844
Day address for tomorrow.
938
01:02:01,951 --> 01:02:04,385
Oh, that'll take care of itself.
939
01:02:04,487 --> 01:02:07,047
What I�m worried about is this
poor devil of a Gillis.
940
01:02:07,156 --> 01:02:09,181
You know Gillis?
941
01:02:09,292 --> 01:02:13,194
My trade takes me into queer
quarters sometimes.
942
01:02:13,296 --> 01:02:15,059
Well, you know, I feel just as
sorry for that...
943
01:02:15,131 --> 01:02:17,258
fellow Gillis as you do...
944
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:22,030
but, uh, I�m, well-I�m plumb
out of it.
945
01:02:23,072 --> 01:02:26,940
Hod got the best of me.
He sure did.
946
01:02:27,043 --> 01:02:30,342
Case is closed. It�s all settled...
947
01:02:30,446 --> 01:02:32,414
and I don't think Hod'll, uh-
948
01:02:32,515 --> 01:02:36,474
he'll be fool enough to reopen the
case for nobody or nothing.
949
01:02:41,758 --> 01:02:45,785
William, I have a duty to perform...
950
01:02:45,895 --> 01:02:48,159
the Christian's duty.
951
01:02:48,297 --> 01:02:51,232
I�m going to violate the sacred
confidence of another.
952
01:02:52,335 --> 01:02:54,826
I�m going to break a pledge
of secrecy...
953
01:02:54,971 --> 01:02:59,374
because it's the only course that
I see that lies before me.
954
01:03:01,043 --> 01:03:03,568
I�m listening, Ashby.
955
01:03:04,614 --> 01:03:06,946
Twenty-five years ago...
956
01:03:08,050 --> 01:03:10,678
''The judge is sure been''
957
01:03:10,787 --> 01:03:13,255
In misery
958
01:03:13,356 --> 01:03:17,725
Reckon folks ain't beenacting just right
959
01:03:17,827 --> 01:03:22,423
Maybe his stomach's beencomplaining
960
01:03:22,565 --> 01:03:26,399
And he needs a toddy this night
961
01:03:26,502 --> 01:03:30,905
Yes, Lord Yes, Lord
962
01:03:31,007 --> 01:03:36,240
'Cause tomorrow he's got tobe like Mr. Samson
963
01:03:36,345 --> 01:03:40,338
saving Daniel from thelion's den
964
01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:49,091
saving Daniel fromthe lion's den
965
01:03:49,192 --> 01:03:53,526
Yes, Lord! Yes, Lord!
966
01:03:53,629 --> 01:03:57,326
The judge could do witha toddy right now
967
01:03:57,466 --> 01:04:01,402
-Yes, Judge.-Yes, Dilsey
968
01:04:01,537 --> 01:04:04,506
-Soon as I gets me some mint-Soon as you gets me some mint
969
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,938
Oh, Jeff! Jeff!
970
01:04:07,043 --> 01:04:09,011
-Yes, sir!''
-Come on. Hurry up here.
971
01:04:09,111 --> 01:04:11,011
Come on here when I holler at you.
972
01:04:11,113 --> 01:04:13,013
-Where you been?
-''Yes, sir. I was...''
973
01:04:13,115 --> 01:04:15,640
say, listen. You want to earn that
old coonskin coat of mine?
974
01:04:15,751 --> 01:04:18,652
I can have that coon coat, Judge?
Thank you, Judge.
975
01:04:18,754 --> 01:04:20,654
Wait a minute. Come back here.
976
01:04:20,756 --> 01:04:22,690
You can if you do everything
I tell you to.
977
01:04:22,792 --> 01:04:26,159
Uh, do you know a gentleman by
the name of Mr. Hod Maydew?
978
01:04:26,262 --> 01:04:28,628
Yes, that mean man in that
courthouse?
979
01:04:28,764 --> 01:04:30,664
Yeah. Well, you see that
he gets that.
980
01:04:30,766 --> 01:04:32,927
But don't you let him know
how it got there.
981
01:04:33,069 --> 01:04:35,299
That's all I got to do, Judge?
Thank you.
982
01:04:35,404 --> 01:04:37,065
say, wait a minute. Can
you play ''Dixie''...
983
01:04:37,139 --> 01:04:38,197
on that thing there?
984
01:04:38,307 --> 01:04:40,070
For that coon coat? Yes, sir,
I play ''Dixie,''
985
01:04:40,142 --> 01:04:43,077
''Marching Through Georgia''.
986
01:04:43,179 --> 01:04:45,272
Wait. Hey.''Marching
Through Georgia''?
987
01:04:45,381 --> 01:04:48,578
Yeah. I got you out of
one lynching.
988
01:04:48,684 --> 01:04:51,448
Yes, but for that coon coat.
989
01:04:51,554 --> 01:04:53,078
lf you play ''Marching
Through Georgia'',...
990
01:04:53,155 --> 01:04:54,622
I�ll join the lynchers.
991
01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:05,559
-Hello, childrens.
-Hi!
992
01:05:05,701 --> 01:05:07,635
What do you all got in
your baskets?
993
01:05:07,703 --> 01:05:09,728
-Fried chicken.
-Chicken!
994
01:05:09,872 --> 01:05:12,966
That's just what I got. That's what
the judge likes, you hear?
995
01:05:25,288 --> 01:05:27,924
Hey, Les! Hey, Les, the jury's
comin' in!
996
01:05:27,924 --> 01:05:30,290
Hey! Come on! The jury's
comin' in.
997
01:05:30,426 --> 01:05:33,486
I�m tellin' you, sir. We've lost
the bass drum!
998
01:05:33,629 --> 01:05:35,893
How could you lose a bass drum?
999
01:05:36,032 --> 01:05:38,000
someone stole it. We need it
for the parade.
1000
01:06:24,580 --> 01:06:28,072
You may begin your summation,
Mr. Prosecutor.
1001
01:06:28,184 --> 01:06:30,584
May it please Your Honor...
1002
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,121
since adjournment yesterday,
certain information...
1003
01:06:32,121 --> 01:06:34,146
has come to the hands of the
Commonwealth...
1004
01:06:34,223 --> 01:06:39,183
which in the interests of justice,
impels me to reopen the case.
1005
01:06:39,328 --> 01:06:41,130
The Commonwealth desires to
recall the defendant...
1006
01:06:41,130 --> 01:06:43,792
Gillis for further cross
examination.
1007
01:06:43,933 --> 01:06:46,663
Very well, Mr. Maydew. Proceed.
1008
01:06:46,802 --> 01:06:49,566
Robert Gillis, take the stand.
1009
01:07:03,185 --> 01:07:08,020
Your Honor, as I recollect
our procedure...
1010
01:07:08,090 --> 01:07:10,092
for the time being, I�m an
ordinary member of...
1011
01:07:10,092 --> 01:07:12,652
the bar in good standing?
1012
01:07:12,795 --> 01:07:15,628
Not ordinary, sir...
1013
01:07:15,765 --> 01:07:18,632
but absolutely in good standing.
1014
01:07:18,734 --> 01:07:22,761
Oh, thank you, sir. Thank
you kindly.
1015
01:07:22,905 --> 01:07:27,706
Then I have the, uh, honor of
announcing myself...
1016
01:07:27,810 --> 01:07:31,678
as associate counsel for
the defense...
1017
01:07:35,051 --> 01:07:39,579
seeing as the case has, uh...
1018
01:07:39,688 --> 01:07:41,815
been...reopened.
1019
01:07:46,629 --> 01:07:51,726
Mr. Gillis, were you always a man
of turbulent and violent nature?
1020
01:07:52,868 --> 01:07:55,666
I always left them alone as
left me alone.
1021
01:07:55,771 --> 01:07:57,671
Is that so?
1022
01:07:57,773 --> 01:08:02,733
What was the name of the man you
once upon a time murdered?
1023
01:08:02,845 --> 01:08:05,712
I-I never looked on it as no...
1024
01:08:05,815 --> 01:08:08,283
-No, it wasn't murder.
-A man was killed, wasn't he?
1025
01:08:08,384 --> 01:08:08,851
-''Yes.''
1026
01:08:08,851 --> 01:08:10,284
-''And they stuck you in jail, didn't
they?''
1027
01:08:10,386 --> 01:08:10,953
-''Yes.''
1028
01:08:10,953 --> 01:08:12,352
-''And they charged you with murder,
didn't they?''
1029
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:13,089
-''Yes.''
1030
01:08:13,089 --> 01:08:14,647
-''And the jury found you guilty, didn't
they? ''
1031
01:08:14,757 --> 01:08:16,952
-''Yes.''
-Were you sentenced to be hung?
1032
01:08:17,059 --> 01:08:18,048
-No, I went up for life.
-Did you escape,...
1033
01:08:18,127 --> 01:08:20,459
or were you pardoned?
1034
01:08:20,563 --> 01:08:22,053
I ain't a-sayin'. I won't tell
you no more no...
1035
01:08:22,131 --> 01:08:24,429
matter what you ask me.
1036
01:08:24,533 --> 01:08:26,467
You don't need to.
1037
01:08:29,071 --> 01:08:32,632
Judge Priest, your witness.
1038
01:08:32,741 --> 01:08:35,107
No questions, Your Honor.
1039
01:08:35,211 --> 01:08:37,008
But Uncle Billy...
1040
01:08:37,113 --> 01:08:41,209
Hasn't the defense any evidence to
offer in rebuttal, Judge Priest?
1041
01:08:44,253 --> 01:08:46,653
One character witness,
Your Honor.
1042
01:08:46,755 --> 01:08:50,054
Mr. Clerk, will you kindly call
Reverend Ashby Brand?
1043
01:08:57,533 --> 01:08:59,168
Do you solemnly swear to tell the
truth, the whole truth and...
1044
01:08:59,168 --> 01:09:00,635
nothing but the truth...
1045
01:09:00,769 --> 01:09:02,964
-In the case now pending in this
court? -I do.
1046
01:09:10,079 --> 01:09:13,048
Reverend Brand, before you
come to this town,...
1047
01:09:13,115 --> 01:09:15,242
what was your occupation?
1048
01:09:15,351 --> 01:09:19,048
In my early manhood, before
I took holy orders...
1049
01:09:19,155 --> 01:09:22,318
I had the honor to be a captain of
artillery in the late war.
1050
01:09:24,226 --> 01:09:26,353
In the War of the Rebellion?
1051
01:09:26,462 --> 01:09:30,523
No, sir. The war for the southern
Confederacy.
1052
01:09:30,666 --> 01:09:33,635
Yes, sir. That's right.
1053
01:09:33,769 --> 01:09:36,169
-''He's right.''
-Yes, sir.
1054
01:09:37,273 --> 01:09:38,900
My-My error.
1055
01:09:39,008 --> 01:09:42,000
One moment please,
Your Honor.
1056
01:09:47,016 --> 01:09:50,747
I yield to no man in love and
everlasting devotion...
1057
01:09:50,853 --> 01:09:55,256
to that sacred lost cause for which
my people fought and bled.
1058
01:09:56,959 --> 01:09:58,085
But though I cherish all
those dear and...
1059
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:00,958
everlasting memories...
1060
01:10:01,063 --> 01:10:04,590
which even the bare mention
of that great conflict...
1061
01:10:04,733 --> 01:10:08,999
must awaken in every true
Kentuckian's bosom...
1062
01:10:09,138 --> 01:10:11,834
I fail to see any possible
connection...
1063
01:10:11,941 --> 01:10:15,707
between this reverend gentleman's
military record...
1064
01:10:15,844 --> 01:10:18,142
and the guilt of this man Gillis.
1065
01:10:44,006 --> 01:10:46,668
I think the court will commit
no grave legal error...
1066
01:10:46,775 --> 01:10:48,140
by allowing a minister of the
gospel to tell his...
1067
01:10:48,210 --> 01:10:51,543
story in his own way.
1068
01:10:57,386 --> 01:11:00,480
Meander along, Reverend Brand.
1069
01:11:02,558 --> 01:11:05,925
As many of you know,
I am a Virginian.
1070
01:11:07,663 --> 01:11:12,032
On the day my state seceded
from the Union, I enlisted.
1071
01:11:13,168 --> 01:11:17,628
I was a private in Penn's
Virginia Battery.
1072
01:11:17,773 --> 01:11:21,106
By the latter end of the third
year, I was in...
1073
01:11:21,176 --> 01:11:23,303
command of that battery.
1074
01:11:23,445 --> 01:11:27,745
All the officers ranking me had
been killed or disabled.
1075
01:11:28,951 --> 01:11:32,114
We lost heavily at Chancellorsville.
1076
01:11:32,187 --> 01:11:35,714
At Fredericksburg, we were
almost wiped out.
1077
01:11:37,192 --> 01:11:39,319
We kept our field pieces.
1078
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:42,021
We kept our pieces until the end.
1079
01:11:42,164 --> 01:11:45,133
But we'd not sufficient men to
man those guns...
1080
01:11:45,267 --> 01:11:47,735
nor anywhere to turn for
more men.
1081
01:11:47,903 --> 01:11:50,201
There were no more men
left to come in.
1082
01:11:52,207 --> 01:11:55,734
The Confederacy in '64...
1083
01:11:55,844 --> 01:12:00,215
was robbing both the cradle and
the grave... for cannon fodder.
1084
01:12:00,215 --> 01:12:04,174
Well, sir, I got temporary leave...
1085
01:12:04,286 --> 01:12:08,052
and went to Richmond to see
our war governor.
1086
01:12:08,157 --> 01:12:10,125
I said to him, ''sir, I�ve come
to you to ask for...
1087
01:12:10,192 --> 01:12:13,059
men to serve my guns.''
1088
01:12:14,463 --> 01:12:17,762
He laughed and said, ''Tell me
where they're to be found.''
1089
01:12:19,335 --> 01:12:24,671
I said, ''Among the chain gangs
from the state penitentiary.''
1090
01:12:26,842 --> 01:12:29,208
He said, ''You've come too late,
young man.
1091
01:12:29,311 --> 01:12:32,144
''I�ve freed every convict that
might conceivably...
1092
01:12:32,214 --> 01:12:34,512
be trusted with freedom.
1093
01:12:34,616 --> 01:12:37,517
''There are left only the lifers...
1094
01:12:37,619 --> 01:12:39,849
''and I dare not turn them loose.
1095
01:12:39,955 --> 01:12:41,149
They're working under guard
building defenses...
1096
01:12:41,223 --> 01:12:43,953
for you to fight behind.''
1097
01:12:45,194 --> 01:12:49,358
He opposed me, but l
argued with him.
1098
01:12:49,498 --> 01:12:52,399
Finally, I won.
1099
01:12:52,501 --> 01:12:58,235
He gave me authorization, signed
it, and with his own hand...
1100
01:12:58,340 --> 01:13:01,036
affixed the seal of the sovereign
state of Virginia.
1101
01:13:03,612 --> 01:13:07,810
I rode back to the lines, sir, and
I found my chain gang.
1102
01:13:07,916 --> 01:13:11,477
I told them to drop their tools
and line up before me.
1103
01:13:13,088 --> 01:13:17,184
I told them, lf you go with me,
you go to face...
1104
01:13:17,292 --> 01:13:22,320
a hell of destruction and
suffering and death...
1105
01:13:22,431 --> 01:13:26,424
but, I said, if you do go,
you go as free men...
1106
01:13:28,103 --> 01:13:31,266
as soldiers of the Confederacy.
1107
01:13:31,373 --> 01:13:34,035
Your past will lie behind you.
1108
01:13:34,143 --> 01:13:39,877
And your future, if you survive,
is in your own hands.
1109
01:13:39,982 --> 01:13:42,780
And I promise you this much.
1110
01:13:42,885 --> 01:13:46,412
lf you stand fast, if you do
your duty...
1111
01:13:48,424 --> 01:13:52,451
if bravely and honorably, you
acquit yourselves as men...
1112
01:13:52,561 --> 01:13:55,587
than such of you as live through
to the end...
1113
01:13:55,697 --> 01:13:57,892
and some of you will live...
1114
01:13:58,033 --> 01:14:00,160
are not to come back to this.
1115
01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:03,864
It�s for you to decide.
1116
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:09,101
Those who remain behind, stand fast.
1117
01:14:09,211 --> 01:14:13,739
Those who come with me,
advance one pace.
1118
01:14:15,451 --> 01:14:18,682
Gentlemen of the jury...
1119
01:14:18,787 --> 01:14:22,553
I tell you they came at me like
a wave from the sea...
1120
01:14:22,658 --> 01:14:25,218
every one of them.
1121
01:14:25,327 --> 01:14:27,295
And as time went on...
1122
01:14:27,396 --> 01:14:31,799
they won for themselves the name
of ''The Battalion from Hell.''
1123
01:14:48,150 --> 01:14:52,052
Those men, those felons...
1124
01:14:52,154 --> 01:14:55,180
with the scars of their shackles
still on their legs...
1125
01:14:55,324 --> 01:14:58,350
they fought for the south
like men.
1126
01:14:58,460 --> 01:15:02,897
None better. And they died like
men, most of them.
1127
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,096
There was one of those men of
whom I wish to...
1128
01:15:08,170 --> 01:15:10,297
speak a special word
of tribute.
1129
01:15:11,540 --> 01:15:15,704
He stood out for his courage
and his fidelity.
1130
01:15:17,579 --> 01:15:21,071
For his worth as a soldier
and a man.
1131
01:15:21,216 --> 01:15:25,653
Most of all, for his invariable
truthfulness...
1132
01:15:25,787 --> 01:15:29,018
under all circumstances.
1133
01:15:29,124 --> 01:15:32,855
He was from the mountains
of my own state-
1134
01:15:32,961 --> 01:15:37,057
a man who spoke little
but did much.
1135
01:15:38,100 --> 01:15:40,830
I saw him once go out under fire...
1136
01:15:40,936 --> 01:15:43,131
during a battle to rescue, at his
own risk, a...
1137
01:15:43,205 --> 01:15:45,833
wounded Union officer...
1138
01:15:47,242 --> 01:15:50,075
who lay there helpless
between the lines.
1139
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:57,385
Another time, our stars and bars
was wrested from our hands.
1140
01:15:57,486 --> 01:16:00,683
We fought breast to breast
that day.
1141
01:16:02,791 --> 01:16:05,658
This man of whom I�m speaking
threw himself on a riderless...
1142
01:16:05,761 --> 01:16:08,195
horse and rode into the
thick of it...
1143
01:16:08,297 --> 01:16:11,095
and by the grace of God came
galloping back...
1144
01:16:11,166 --> 01:16:13,691
from the jaws of death...
1145
01:16:14,903 --> 01:16:18,634
our colors clutched in his hand.
1146
01:16:23,412 --> 01:16:25,914
And another day...
1147
01:16:25,914 --> 01:16:31,011
when every man who served his
gun excepting him was down...
1148
01:16:31,153 --> 01:16:35,351
I saw him, when the Union
Infantry charged...
1149
01:16:35,457 --> 01:16:38,119
sitting astraddle his useless gun...
1150
01:16:38,226 --> 01:16:40,786
and with a rammer for his
only weapon...
1151
01:16:40,896 --> 01:16:43,057
waiting for the enemy to
come within reach.
1152
01:16:44,066 --> 01:16:48,196
''A countercharge from our
infantry saved him.
1153
01:16:53,275 --> 01:16:57,439
But he had stood fast, and
he was alone.
1154
01:16:57,546 --> 01:17:00,709
After the surrender, l
kept his secret.
1155
01:17:01,049 --> 01:17:05,782
I�ve kept it to this very hour.
1156
01:17:05,887 --> 01:17:09,050
Though I�ve seen him daily
at his work...
1157
01:17:09,157 --> 01:17:11,284
watching over his daughter...
1158
01:17:11,393 --> 01:17:14,692
providing for her education
through me.
1159
01:17:16,131 --> 01:17:19,658
And all unknown to Ellie May.
1160
01:17:29,344 --> 01:17:34,805
Gentlemen, as a soldier, I knew
that man as Roger Gillespie.
1161
01:17:36,151 --> 01:17:40,588
You know him by the name
he now wears...
1162
01:17:40,722 --> 01:17:42,155
Robert Gillis.
1163
01:17:42,290 --> 01:17:45,157
Hooray for Jeff Davis,
the southern...
1164
01:17:45,227 --> 01:17:48,060
Confederacy and Bob Gillis!
1165
01:17:58,740 --> 01:18:00,571
Well, get out of the way.
1166
01:18:00,676 --> 01:18:02,109
Can't you see that poor, helpless
child needs a mother?
1167
01:18:02,177 --> 01:18:04,145
Hooray!
1168
01:18:20,962 --> 01:18:23,192
That's fine! That's great,
Jeff!. That's great!
1169
01:18:23,365 --> 01:18:26,391
Keep on goin'. Keep goin', you
can have that white vest!
