All language subtitles for Riverboat S02E08 Devil in Skirts

Oh, that Colonel Ashley and his parties.

Smell that barbecue. Yeah. He must
be roasting a whole herd of beef.

You know, this crew can
use a good feed after the

sorry grub we've been
dishing out this trip.

Yeah, yeah, they sure could.

But I'm the only one
that's going ashore. Huh?

Yes, you're going to take the
Enterprise around the bend up to Natchez.

Why, you'd have a mutiny.

What kind of a trick are
you trying to pull? Survival.

We're riding too light and high on the
water. One look and you'd know we're hungry.

Well, so what? That just means we have
more room to haul the Colonel's copy.

Yeah, sure, sure. But
then the old pirate would

have us hauling his
cotton bales for pennies.

What's he going to think
if you go up there alone?

Just exactly what I want him to think.

That you're up in Natchez unloading
and coming back here fat and sassy.

We'll be my own friends.
Hey, I like that. Yes, sir.

You know, the only difference between you
and the Colonel is he's an old partner.

Another night cap, Captain,
then we'll talk business. Why,

you trying to get me
loaded, Colonel? Well,

he had a problem. Oh, just another sipper.

You can fly me with wine, gear,
tobacco, Colonel, women, and song,

but you still won't give me all
your cargo for one penny less.

Oh, don't bluff me, Captain.

When it comes to
business, I call the tune.

Mighty pretty tune.

Point your little foot, point
your little foot. Tony? Yes, Papa?

If you can spare the time,
you might fetch Captain Holden

and me two more juleps.
Why, sure, Papa, sir.

Two more juleps coming right up.

You better make it three, darling, sir.

Might as well make it four. This
Friday looks to go till morning.

You had enough to drink.

You may be right, Colonel.
Welcome aboard, Captain.

Dexter might rock you tonight.

Yeah, no, I see.

Tony?

Show Captain Holden the game
room and get him his drink.

Yes, but we have business, Colonel.

Oh, I'm much too sober to
discuss business now, Captain.

We'll have our little deal
over whisky sours at breakfast.

Well, I'd sleep better
if we could finish the

business now and I'd go back to the party.

Tony, tell all those people
out there the party is over.

Yes, Papa.

Good night, Captain.

You got a most appealing voice.

Well, ma'am, I was just
thinking the same thing about you.

Yeah, good night, Colonel. Ma'am?

Alone at last, Colonel.

Miss Lucinda, just what
the devil are you up to?

Well, I never end a sentence
with a preposition, Colonel.

Don't start correcting
my grammar, Miss Lucinda,

because you ain't been acting like
no proper schoolteacher around here.

Not all night, you ain't.

That's when daytime school's out at night.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself,
throwing yourself at my boy like that,

just because Tony
invited you for the weekend.

Why should I be? I'm very fond of Tony.
Besides, I think I suit him just fine.

A whole lot of girls
around here suit him fine.

He's got every girl in the
county chasing after him.

But he's gonna marry me.

He ask you?

Not in so many words.

He never will.

You mean no one does
anything, you don't let him?

I mean, one kiss doesn't make
orange blossoms or wedding march.

Tony's been courting me
ever since I came here.

Now, don't you let him hurt you, honey.

Tony's just roaring
around, feeling his oats.

And I'll throw a bridle on him.

Now, what do you want to be saddled with a

coat for when you can have the lead horse?

Why, Kurt.

I can still dance all
night and ride to the hounds

in the morning while you sleep till noon.

I know how to treat a lady.

Why are you laughing?

Can you imagine Tony calling me Mama?

I wasn't offering the formalities.

I was wondering just how
far you were prepared to go.

I'm sorry, Miss
Lucinda, if I offended you.

You don't offend me, you amuse me.

You're like a nice, gentle grizzly bear.

Did you kill him?

Mm-hmm.

With one shot, just right
outside that door there.

You know, it was a time I
was shooting for this land.

The whole county was in timber.

Lots of bears here.

Bobcats.

Then when we went in for cotton,
we drew another kind of animal.

Prettier, maybe, but just as deadly.

I take that as a compliment, sir.

You know, it's time I had a
spirited woman around here. Permanent.

You the most decorative one, yeah?

Then you'd need a new school teacher.

Oh, I'll be needing one no
matter which way you decide.

You don't bluff me, Colonel.

I'm no cotton car goer, poke hand.

And I'm not trading.

I want clear title. Mrs.
Anthony Ashley or nothing.

You're just after my son's money.

No, yours.

Here's to an honest woman.

You don't have any time
for honesty, Colonel.

In my book, honesty is
not always the best policy.

You've got that little twisted.

And your tie is crooked, too.

Gurney, you better stop that.

Drunk old man! Clumsy ox!

If you can't hold your
liquor, don't drink.

I'm sorry.

She was fixing my tie.
Didn't look like that to me.

Yes, his tie got all messed up
and he was trying to kiss me.

Go ahead.

Go on, hit me if you're man enough.

Now, gentlemen, gentlemen, now
let's not fight in front of a lady.

Let's just have a friendly little drink.

Yes, we can drink to the proposal
the Colonel just honored me with.

Lucinda. Proposal?

You were proposing
marriage, weren't you, Colonel?

Well, perhaps you're
right, Colonel. We'd better

talk business tomorrow. No, Captain.

We'll talk tonight.

Tony, will you see me to my room, please?

You'd better bolt your door.

Take my advice, boy.

Bolt yours.

Yes, well, we'll see you
all in the morning. I hope.

How would you like to
carry all my cotton this year?

Well, that all depends. That all depends,
you see, on whether we have enough space.

We're sitting pretty low
in the water, you know?

That's why I like you, Captain.

You're standing there as if you own
the river and all the banks besides.

As a matter of fact, you
ain't had a cargo since Cairo.

And if you saw a dollar, it was in
somebody else's pocket, not yours.

Well, now, why would I be
sending the Enterprise up to Natchez?

Give my boys a free cruise to
have a night in the town, huh?

I had my spyglass on you,
sneaking around the bend.

You was riding so high in the water,

you couldn't have been carrying
nothing else in your hold but hot air.

And all the planters around here
have been hit by boll weevils but me.

And I get my reports by the week from St.

Louis. I happen to know that
shipping cargo is tied in a drum's head.

Yeah, well, Colonel, looks like
you've got me over a barrel backwards.

Here's a thousand dollars. Now, wait a
minute, I won't touch a penny of that.

Your cog is worth at least four thousand.

I'll give you five.

Five? Did you say five?

$4,000 for the cargo, $1,000 bonus.

Bonus for what?

For Lucinda. That scheming
money-grabber no-cum, hussy.

Well, what do you want me to do about it?

Go after her.

Show up for what she is. Win
her from Tony. Well, Colonel,

you tried that and you
didn't get very far.

That's why I'm asking you.

Well, if she's a fortune
hunter, what would you want with me?

She's also a woman.

Hey, Colonel, you're not
serious about this, are you?

I never was more serious in my life.

Well, if you are, then I'm sorry.

That's just a little out of my line. I
understood you were quite a ladies' man.

Yeah, well, whatever you heard,
you never heard money mentioned.

Know and need know?

I'd know.

Now, now, don't try to be holy with
me. I know you better than that. Well,

have it your own way. You'll do it then.

Oh, no.

Let me put it to you once more, in
words that you will probably understand.

Either you do as I say, or you don't
haul one bill in my carton now or ever,

or get any bank credit
up and down the river

as far as that boat of
yours will take you.

Is that clear?

Oh, yeah.

Quite.

You mind if I wait in your
wharf till my boat comes by?

You can wait anywhere you want.

As long as you're out of
my house, not a moment.

Pleasant dreams.

Right up to the moment it explodes.

You must think I'm a terrible woman.

Well, let's just say that you're spirited.

You're...

You're very kind, as well as noble.

Don't let anybody hear you say that.

I heard what the Colonel wanted you to do.

Well, it's only money.

It just doesn't seem fair, you
losing your cargo on the count of me.

Yeah, well, don't worry about it.

I'm sure the colonel
would have cheated me anyway.

Nevertheless, I'm grateful to you.

You made me feel like a lady and not the
kind of trash the colonel's making me out.

I think you are a lady.

Even after the way I acted downstairs?

Well, ladies don't always
behave like well-led ladies.

That's what makes them interesting.

And besides, if you're going to
catch a man like Tony Ashley,

you can't sit in a corner.

Act like a mouse.

Or like a schoolteacher. You, you
are a schoolteacher, aren't you?

That's the way I make my living.

Schoolteacher.

Why couldn't I let a teacher like you?

Well, you can.

I can.

And the colonel can be
paying for the lesson.

What are you talking about?

I want you to do what he asked.

I want you to flirt with me and
try to get me away from Tony.

Oh, come on now. You're not
that worried about my going broke.

I wonder if the assignment would seem so
distasteful to you If I asked you to do it?

Well, that all depends.

On what?

On just what the real reason is.

That's simple.

I want to marry Tony.

As long as he has no competition, he
can't bring himself to the point of proposing.

But you might make him
jealous enough, or he might.

Nobody can't say that
isn't the direct answer.

Then you do it?

Well, now, wait a minute.

I think you're playing
right in the colonel's hands.

You see, you wanted me to prove
that you're a... That's simple.

You just explain to him before you
leave that he was wrong. That I'm a fine,

upstanding, moral young lady.

Are you?

One who is able to
resist your undoubted charms.

Oh.

Well, I wouldn't like talk
like that to get around.

Then you do it. Well,
now, wait a minute now.

Suppose he gets jealous
enough and shoots me.

A business risk.

I imagine you've been shot at
for a lot less than $5,000. Well,

then we both get what we want, and
nobody can blame us. The Colonel deserved it.

Will you?

Lady, lady, you've just
made a most romantic deal.

You must love him or his
father's money very much.

I do.

Yeah, but... Good night, Ray.

Come in.

Who do you want? Colonel,
sir, I've been thinking it over.

You come to your senses, huh?

Well, I wouldn't do it just for the
money, but I have the responsibility of a crew.

A man has a payroll to consider.

He can't always be as independent as
he'd like to be. Now, that's more like it.

Have a drink. Thank you.

Independence is a luxury,
and luxuries cost money.

Yes.

Speaking of money. Oh, yeah.

Let me ask you something, Colonel.

How long did you think I'd hold out?

I overestimated you. I
figured you till morning.

Good luck. Same to you.

What's the matter, Lucinda?

Aren't you glad to see your own brother?

Matt, what are you doing here? What
I should have done a long time ago,

before you turned soft. I'm
not soft. I haven't changed.

I saw it.

I was looking in the window
downstairs. You let them touch you.

It was all I could do to
keep them busting in and

killing them right
then. You, my own sister.

They don't even know who I am.

Well, they'll know who I am, all right.

Listen to me. I know what I'm doing.

So do I. I was going to make them sweat
first, but not now. Not after what I saw.

Listen to me, Matt.

I'm not going to let you spoil
what it's taken me this long to do,

not what it's about to work to...
What, do you think I've forgotten?

Don't you think I
remember what they did to Paul?

You've got a funny way of showing it.

The only difference between
us is I'm smart about it.

I've been planning this a long, long time.

What are you talking about?

I'm going to get even with the colonel.

I'm going to marry Tony and be
mistress of everything the Ashleys own,

and then make them live to
regret it every day of their lives.

You'd marry an Ashley?

I'd marry the devil if it had
hurt the Colonel by doing it.

I believe you would.

Now, Matt, you better get out of
here before somebody sees you.

All right, Lucinda, but I'll be watching.

And if anything goes wrong,
I'm going to do it my way.

Nothing's going to go wrong.

Lucinda.

What is it?

Are you all right?

I thought I heard voices.

Well, I was asleep. You woke me up.

As long as you're up, you might let me in.

Good night, Tony.

Well, good night.

Don't you ever sleep?

I was going to ask you the same question.

I just had a night camp with your father.

Oh.

Yeah, what do you have in your mind?

Nothing, nothing. I just thought...

Never mind.

Oh, by the way,
congratulations on your taste.

What?

In women.

Thanks.

You're not engaged to her, are you?

Not exactly, but... That's good.

Good night.

Good night.

Where's Lucinda? Isn't she up yet?

Up and out with Holden.

Quite a lady's man, Holden.

I'm sorry. I must have
had a little much to drink.

I guess we all did.

All but Holden.

He's smart that way.

Understand they had breakfast together.

Well, good morning. How's your head?
I thought we had a date this morning.

Oh, I forgot all about it.

When Gray... Captain
Holden invited me for an

early ride, I just...
That's quite all right.

Would you care to join us?

I don't want to intrude.

Fine, fine.

Be back at the house.

See you later, Tony.

That's gonna be the easiest
thousand dollars I ever earn.

That is, if he doesn't shoot
me first. Have a nice ride.

Stop pushing me, Pa.

No, don't turn on me because
your girl found somebody else.

She just went riding with him. Doesn't
mean she found somebody else. You think not?

I think not.

You learn.

What do you think you're
doing? I'm going hunting.

Any objections?

It all depends on what you're
after. I can take care of myself.

Put it back.

The condition that you're in, it
ain't safe for you or anybody else.

I don't mind my son
making a fool of himself, but

I don't hanker to see
him hang. Put it back.

I think we have an audience.

Well, Captain.

Things seem to be going
very well. Very well indeed.

Yes, your reputation as a
ladies' man is well-founded.

Let's just say I'm earning my money.

I can't imagine a
pleasanter way of doing it,

especially when the
partner is cooperative.

She is cooperative, isn't she?

You'll get a full report when I leave.

You must have a rather low
opinion of me, don't you?

I don't have to like a
man. I work for him.

You know, for $5,000, you
could even despise him, eh?

Colonel!

Five thousand dollars is
a great deal of money.

You know, it's very simple for a young,

single man with no
responsibilities to make moral judgments.

I never said I did.

Oh, you don't have to say it.

Funny thing is, Captain, you and
me, we're playing the same game,

only I'm playing it for higher stakes.

I spent a lifetime putting together
the biggest plantation on this river.

I was hoping by now my
son could take over and

run things so I could
sit back and enjoy life.

You're not going to
let anybody run anything

as long as there's a breath in your body.

That's what's wrong with Tony.

You may be right.

Whatever the reason, that's how it is.

Now I'm going to have to
protect him and the plantation.

Maybe she's good for him.

I know things you don't know.

Believe me, she wouldn't be.

Five thousand dollars.

Do I have to believe you, too?

Too bad Tony isn't more like you.

Well, if he were, he would
have left here long ago.

And now, Colonel, if
you'll excuse me, duty calls.

By the way, Captain, when you
leave here with your cargo,

you may be taking her along, too? Oh,
it'll be a pleasure, Colonel, a pleasure.

At the usual passenger
rate. Oh, I thought that

under the
circumstances, Wrong again, Colonel.

Lucinda.

Hello, Tony.

I want an explanation, Lucinda.

Last night you let me kiss you,
and today you act as if... well,

act as if we were strangers.

Well, I don't know what
you're talking about.

I mean all this
lollygagging around with Gray Holden.

Captain Holden was kind
enough to invite me riding

this morning while you
slept off your liquor.

I would have taken you
riding, you know that.

Well, how could I? I didn't know
you had your father's permission.

Stop it, Lucinda.

Besides, when a school
mom gets to be my age,

she can't afford to take
herself out of circulation.

You know how I feel about you.

Well, I know you like to kiss me and
have me available when you want me,

but that's kind of a
one-sided arrangement.

Oh, we're going to have to continue this
fascinating conversation some other time.

Captain Holden's going to take me down
to the wharf while he checks his cargo.

You know, I thought that men were
supposed to be quicker getting dressed than women.

I've been waiting for
you for five minutes.

Beauty and promptness, a combination
I've waited all my life to find in a woman.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Yes, sir.

Well, this will put the enterprise
on the water. It's about time, too.

Things haven't been going so well, huh?

Frankly, it's a cutthroat
business. Too many boats, too few cargoes.

Why stay in it?

I like it.

That's important to a man.

Like what he's doing.

Yeah, well, it helps you
over the lean hard times, yeah.

Sounds like an exciting life.

Exciting?

Well, it's feast or famine.

You see, one day you come into
port, riding high on the water.

You don't know where you're going to get
enough money to buy the next load of wood.

Next trip in, you're buying
drinks for everybody in the house.

Men are lucky.

They don't need
security like a woman does.

Oh, security's fine.

If you don't have to pay
too high a price for it.

You don't think much of Tony, do you?

I don't have to think much
of him. I'm not marrying him.

I'd better see what's bothering him.

Let me go, Captain. You
got no right to hold me.

What do you mean I got
no right? What are you

doing here? I got business here. You here?

What kind of business?

I can't tell you.

You're trespassing. You know that,
don't you? I got a right to be here.

As much right as they
have. You do, huh? Well,

maybe you better tell that to
the colonel. No, please, Captain.

Don't. Give me a break.

Why should I? You jumped my boat.

Ray, where are you?

You tell him, Captain.

You tell him Matt Jennings is
back, and he's back to stay.

A crewman of mine jumped a boat
here. I found him hiding in the brush.

A crewman?

Yeah, I told him Jennings, Matt
Jennings. He sounded strange.

What did he say?

Well, it doesn't make sense. That's
what's so odd. Come on, we better go.

What did he say?

Well, he said something about having
as much right here as the Ashleys.

For me to tell them that Matt Jennings
was back to stay, I don't know. Come on.

Come in. Boy, you're back so soon.

I just ran into somebody I never
expect to see around here. Who's that?

A woman named Jennings, Matt Jennings.

Well, apparently you know him.

Where'd you meet him?

Down by the wharf. He
was a member of my crew.

Apparently he jumped
ship when we landed here.

He said something
about having as much right

to be here as you did.
A strange statement.

Just an old grudge.

But I'll be ready for him.

Yeah.

Tell Tony I want to see him.

Well, good hunting.

You want to see me?

Come in.

Shut the door.

You know, I've been thinking about
this business with Holden Lucinda.

And the more I think about it, the more I
suspect you have something to do with it.

I have much more important
things to think about now.

Why haven't?

She's the only thing in the world
that ever meant anything to me.

Stop talking like a drooling pup.

The name Jennings mean anything to you?

Jennings? No. Why? I guess
you were too young to remember.

There's a man by that name hanging
around the plantation somewhere.

He's aiming to kill me.

Sounds like a man after my own heart.

I'd like to meet him.

You may get the chance to.

He probably wants to kill you too.

Would it be prying to ask the reason why,

or does he have the usual
instinctive dislike for the ashes?

In his mind, he has a good reason.

He thinks that I was
responsible for his father's death.

Were you?

He had land I wanted.

He wouldn't sell.

But he liked to gamble
and he liked to drink.

It cost him dearly to discover
that the two of them don't mix.

In other words, you got him drunk and
cheated him out of his land. I didn't have to.

A field hand could have beat him.

He walked out of that saloon
and put a bullet in his head.

A nice chapter to the family history.

So if I were you, until we find
Jennings, I'd keep a gun with me.

Thanks for the advice.

One more thing.

He has a sister.

Oh, is she with him, too?

Not exactly. She's our house
guest. She calls herself Lucinda Lee.

Oh, you're slipping, Pa.

Her real name is Jenny. Oh, come on.

You can do better than that.

The truth.

Now, you don't expect me
to believe you, do you?

How's the phrase of that?

Read it.

I never hire anybody
without first checking on them.

Why didn't you tell me? I don't know.

I guess I thought it would kind of ease
my conscience, letting her get away with it.

But when I found out
what she was really after,

trying to get back at me
through you, well, I...

Thought I'd beat her at her own game.

Game's over now.

She brought her brother in to
finish it. I don't believe it.

She couldn't be that two-faced.

You're a fool, Tony.

You're a fool.

Susan knew every minute that she was here.

What's going on here?

I'm leaving.

Yeah, so I see you are, but
I thought you told me that

everything was going
the way you wanted it to.

I changed my mind.

Well, now, just a minute now.

Even a woman can't
change her mind that quickly

about something she
wanted as much as you did.

Please.

Wait, we have a deal now. If you
change your mind, I have a right to know.

You got your thousand dollars.
That's all you need to know.

You sound just like the colonel.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean... Well, then
tell me why you changed your mind.

You were... You once said that I must
love Tony or his father's money very much.

That's right.

It wasn't either, I was after...
Well, you were sure after something.

What would you do...

If you thought someone had taken
everything that was rightfully yours...

I'd find it, go after it, and get it back.

Any way you could?

Any way I had to.

And what would you think of a girl
if she did that any way she could?

Well, I might think she
was making a mistake,

but I wouldn't judge her not
till I knew all the facts.

Well, I...

I knew all the facts.

I just didn't admit them
to myself, not until now.

That's how that crewman of mine,
Jennings, fit into all of this.

That Jennings is my brother.

Your brother?

Yes.

Yes, last night he came into
my room, and he had a gun,

and he was going to kill them both.

And I said, no, what I
was planning was far worse.

But there was one thing I
hadn't taken into account.

What I was going to do was evil.

Every bit as evil as the colonel.

And then when I saw what living
on hate had done to my brother,

I couldn't go through with it.

So now you're leaving? Yes.
You're quite a woman, Miss Jennings.

No, I'd appreciate it if I could.

Take your boat back down the river.

It'd be a pleasure.

First, I want to see the Colonel and Tony.

Well, you don't have to go
in there. We can just go.

No, I want to see them.

You'd better go easy on the
liquor till we get rid of Jennings.

Come in.

I'm leaving.

Leaving?

Tony, I'm sorry I lied to you.

I'm here under false pretenses.

My name isn't Lee.

I know.

It's Jennings.

He just told me.

He's known all along.

You knew?

What I don't know is
why you would confess.

Go on.

That's something you wouldn't understand.

Maybe I would.

No, don't.

It doesn't matter
whether you changed your mind.

The only thing that counts is you did.

I still want you to stay.

But I hated you both.

There was a reason for everything I did.

But you didn't go through with it.

It doesn't make any difference.

As to me, I want you to
stay. Now, she ain't staying.

Not unless you want to be alone.

Because when I'm finished here,
this house is going to be empty.

Now, you get away from her.

You too, Colonel, over there with
your son. I want you two to be together,

seeing as you're so fond of each other.

Now hold it, Colonel.

Now you just pull that gun
out of your pocket real slow.

Matt, please, listen to me.

I'm through listening.

It didn't work your way.

I'm gonna do it mine.

Oh, you stay where you are, Captain. I
don't want to have to kill you, too.

You know, I've been dreaming
about this for a long time.

Nights when me and Lucinda didn't have
enough food in our stomach to keep us asleep.

And you, up here in this nice big house,

living on the land you
stole off our father.

I did not steal it.

All I know is he had it
and now you've got it.

He lost it.

He took his chances and lost.

And it killed him.

You killed him. He killed himself because
he wasn't man enough to keep on living.

Now go and shoot if you're gonna.

I don't want to have to stand here
and listen to that sniveling rotten.

Yes, I took his land away,
but there was plenty more land.

He could have started over the
same way I did a half a dozen times.

He just wasn't man enough to... Shut up.

Listen, let's be honest
with each other just for once.

If it hadn't been the colonel,
it would have been somebody else.

If we went hungry, it's because our
father gambled and nobody forced him.

He had a sickness, a
disease, and it killed him.

Don't let yours kill anyone here.

No, Lucinda.

You're not going to talk
me out of it this time.

She already has, man.

You stay out of this, Captain.

It's no longer a matter of
revenge. It's a matter of murder.

She told you the truth, and you know it.

You're not going to pull that trigger,
man. You stay where you are, Captain.

I don't want to have to kill
you. Give me the gun, Matt.

You're not a murderer.

I'm warning you, Captain.

Give me the gun. Now stay
away! Come on now, Matt.

Give me the gun, you're... Tony!

Oh, Tony! Tie him up!

I'll send for the
Marshal. Leave him alone!

He tried to kill us.

I said leave him alone.
Are you giving me orders?

Yes, I'm giving you
orders. Well, it's about time.

Well, now, let's take a look at this arm.

Looks like you're going to have to have
somebody take care of you for a while.

Wouldn't you say? Definitely.

Lucinda? Looks like you're going to
have to have somebody take care of him.

I'm sure the Colonel can find somebody.

Woman, are you going to let my
son bleed to death while you argue?

I'll put a proper bandage on
it right now. Well, Colonel.

I think your guest could use a drink.

Guest?

As a matter of fact, I think we all could.

Why not?

Jennings, look smart.

Well, it's been quite a day.

It certainly has.

You know, it ain't often
that a man has the opportunity

to see his son grow up
right before his eyes.

I'll drink to that. To Tony and Lucinda.

I'd like to have my old job back, sir.

Are you sure that's
what you want, Jennings?

Yes, sir, I'm sure.

That is, if you'll have me back after
jumping ship. No, you didn't jump ship.

You just took a leave of absence.

You'll work it off.

No hard feelings?

No hard feelings, Colonel.

Colonel?

Oh, a small memoir.

You know, I kind of envied you up
there on that hill in that big house,

nothing to do but sit around drinking
in tulips and listen to the banjos.

Tell me, those people
must lead quite a life, huh?

Yeah, I couldn't have
said it better myself.
