<v Speaker 2>upstairs into a room papered with ships and tent and

67
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:26.920
<v Speaker 2>signed map. One read and disappeared for a few minutes.

<v Speaker 2>The other tried to become interested in the book of

69
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Fighting Ships. He was afraid of what was to come,

70
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>knowing why and not quite knowing.

71
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.920

77
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:23.240

78
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.839
<v Speaker 2>and they couldn't stop. The small clock with them, our

79
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 2>sub piece ticked about them. The eyes of the bird

80
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>metronomically switching side the side, and the car passed occasionally,

81
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 2>and there was a tension until the sound of tire

82
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and engines faded away. It didn't take too long for

83
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.839

<v Speaker 6>You I wouldn't do a see your hands now, worry,

<v Speaker 6>Okay, go ahead, get the gun.

<v Speaker 5>Go We'll go on.

164
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.120
<v Speaker 7>Get it. Let's start playing.

165
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Read the smile the Smile of pity with deliberate easy

166
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 2>sort it from the room. Pin might have seen him

167
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 2>stagger a moment as he reached the door, but Pin

168
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't looking. He was noticing for the first time his

169
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>hands lying flattened down the table, disassociated when there was

170
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 2>a scar on the right index finger. He got it

171
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 2>when he cut himself twelve years before on his first

172
00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 2>borrowed scout knife. Now only the scar a memory on

173
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 2>a trigger finger. He didn't look up again until Red

174
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:09.840
<v Speaker 2>came back with a gun.

175
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 6>Thirty eight. That's the best handgun.

176
00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 8>Wanna hold it?

177
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:32.240
<v Speaker 6>No, I figured you wouldn't s up gay well forget

178
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 6>uh uh?

179
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead? Take out the book?

<v Speaker 8>Okay, take out five leave one aunt.

181
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.159
<v Speaker 6>Think yeah, take out five.

182
00:11:52.639 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 8>One one from it?

183
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 6>Are you up for meat?

184
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

185
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:21.159
<v Speaker 7>Okay?

186
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:32.679
<v Speaker 2>The gun. The gun rested muzzled to the wall in

187
00:12:32.720 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 2>the center of the table, and the table bearing scratches

188
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>made by a three year old and a forgotten moment

189
00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>of high experiment. The boys sat opposite each other, looking

190
00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>down at the gun because the whiskey affected them with

191
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:51.759
<v Speaker 2>the strange new feeling details of the table edge, a

192
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>wall pack an on the rug. These details on the

193
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 2>fringes were blurred, but not the gun. The gun was

194
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:05.039
<v Speaker 2>clear and precise, and the gun waited.

195
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 6>You wanna go first?

196
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.240
<v Speaker 8>It didn't make any difference, meaned it flip a coin.

197
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:32.159
<v Speaker 6>Okay, caw head head, okay, I'll take for a shot.

198
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>There was a ceremony to the game. There worksmanship with

199
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.440
<v Speaker 2>the top of the calling a drink of whiskey, the

200
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:09.879
<v Speaker 2>glass foot dogs, and next to come the lifting of

201
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:14.240
<v Speaker 2>the guard. Pin stared at her and about how he

202
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>would best reach out to take the handle gracefully, practically.

203
00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>He had never held a barber in his life.

204
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 9>In the stilling yeah, nah, the other now, but the

205
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 9>oct the bullet comes up when I shoot.

206
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:46.679
<v Speaker 6>Now one in six, I guess I don't know.

207
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:50.080
<v Speaker 8>Okay.

208
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.080
<v Speaker 2>He was a careful boy, but he didn't put them

209
00:14:57.120 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 2>up into his head immediately. At this point of the game,

210
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.799
<v Speaker 2>there was a numbness which did not allow for speculation

211
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 2>of pain mother father. Rather, Pin was surprised by the

212
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:15.559
<v Speaker 2>weight of the gun, the physical oneness with it lying

213
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 2>in his hand. He was afraid of it, and fascinated

214
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.159
<v Speaker 2>in his fear. The red watch his mouth open, the

215
00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>little eyes reddened with drinking, but bright, watchful seeing the

216
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:36.240
<v Speaker 2>friend of his youth, slowly raised the gun, unsteady and awkwardly,

217
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.639
<v Speaker 2>turning the barrel.

218
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.399
<v Speaker 4>To his head. He wet his lips and waited and

219
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:49.279
<v Speaker 4>didn't go off.

220
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 8>No, I feel.

221
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.159
<v Speaker 6>I don't know who's dead. I get so, I don't

222
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:04.919
<v Speaker 6>you sure look scared? Yeah, girl, white, I didn't think

223
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 6>you'd do it. You took only do it a lot

224
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:10.960
<v Speaker 6>of talk and you scared at your turn. Give me

225
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:18.919
<v Speaker 6>the guns. Boy, that's a real gun. Remember when we

226
00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 6>were kids, tapped us. But you never thought we'd be

227
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 6>doing this, you know, you know? Okay, my turn? Where

228
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 6>are your baby?

229
00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 7>Well?

230
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:36.720
<v Speaker 6>I wanna make a side bet on this one. It

231
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:46.240
<v Speaker 6>was gonn maintain if you knew. Watch then when you

232
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 6>make up your mind to do it, do it quick,

233
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.440
<v Speaker 6>see like this?

234
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:57.320
<v Speaker 8>Uh now you swear it out again?

235
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 6>Pretty good game loose. I'll make you one daptom.

236
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.640
<v Speaker 7>What's that? Can you crack for?

237
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 6>Ideas?

238
00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:06.680
<v Speaker 7>Your nuts? A buck?

239
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:08.839
<v Speaker 6>A back? Sure, a buck.

240
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:16.440
<v Speaker 2>The game had taken another turn that presented an added

241
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>incentive to win a dollar bet that one boy would

242
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:25.079
<v Speaker 2>be a tower. A boy wouldn't lose his nerves, wouldn't

243
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>have the guts to take another chance of blowing his

244
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 2>brains up with that uh stensible right, young man. The

245
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 2>room was too warm and outside the middle afternoon sun

246
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>lays down the hot on the heavy sycamore trees. And

247
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.200
<v Speaker 2>dusty and still A twelve year old passed by on

248
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:49.039
<v Speaker 2>the streets, whistling tunelessly childishly on his way to the

249
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>drug store for a soda.

250
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:59.079
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, or do you wanna quit now?

251
00:17:59.240 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 5>I'll do it.

252
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:01.200
<v Speaker 7>Don't worry.

253
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 6>I'm not quitting. Go around and say this for you.

254
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 8>The guys who's as scared of guns as you are,

255
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 8>you're doing alright.

256
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:12.440
<v Speaker 6>They gets tough. An hour's all in the luck.

257
00:18:12.519 --> 00:18:12.799
<v Speaker 7>You know.

258
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 6>You're lucky, pen.

259
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:18.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I'm lucky.

260
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:19.720
<v Speaker 6>That's good.

261
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 4>I'm not lucky.

262
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:25.720
<v Speaker 7>I'm not anything.

263
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 6>Why am I doing this?

264
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.359
<v Speaker 8>I wonder if I hear the noise before I heal

265
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:36.519
<v Speaker 8>the pain, or whether it'll be nice?

266
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 6>Oh have I died if there wasn't any pain? But

267
00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 6>it's too hard in the heir, the gun feels hot, red,

268
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:58.519
<v Speaker 6>things are yellow. Well, I'd just like to wonder if

269
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 6>you keep on smiling if I pointed the gun at.

270
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:08.160
<v Speaker 8>Him, maybe you need another drink? Huh No, I don't

271
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:19.759
<v Speaker 8>want it anymore. Okay, Well yeah, hm, who will watching him?

272
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:22.119
<v Speaker 6>What do you plung you to me for.

273
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:24.440
<v Speaker 2>You scared?

274
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.359
<v Speaker 10>Huh?

275
00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 6>I'm not scared.

276
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 8>Maybe maybe we should play it this sweet for at

277
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.000
<v Speaker 8>a while.

278
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.839
<v Speaker 6>I shoot at you and you shoot at me. That's

279
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.400
<v Speaker 6>not the game. Why not the same thing? Now, that'd

280
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:44.480
<v Speaker 6>be like murder. You wanna play, you play it right?

281
00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 5>Who says the way we've been playing is right?

282
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:47.880
<v Speaker 10>Uh?

283
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I get it.

284
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 6>You're trying to get out of taking your next show.

285
00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.319
<v Speaker 10>I'm asking you, who says the way we're playing is right?

286
00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 3>And see what he pointing to make?

287
00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.720
<v Speaker 10>Just tell me that I said difference.

288
00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:58.480
<v Speaker 6>We're playing rush and roulette. That's a difference.

289
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.119
<v Speaker 5>You're a quick fight, so that oh I'm not quit?

290
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.119
<v Speaker 6>Okay, then take your shot.

291
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:08.319
<v Speaker 2>It was a thing to be well considered on the

292
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:12.359
<v Speaker 2>part of Red. The abstract quality of self destruction was

293
00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 2>one thing. But a gun pointed at him, gun held

294
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 2>in another hand. This was not a game of his choosing.

295
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 2>He'd had no part of it. Suddenly he knew himself

296
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.680
<v Speaker 2>to be sober, terribly sober, And because of this, and

297
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the game had mushroom beyond his understanding,

298
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.559
<v Speaker 2>there was no stopping to play. He knew that Pin

299
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:39.480
<v Speaker 2>was sober too, and as from a gray distance, he

300
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:43.559
<v Speaker 2>saw his friend raise the gun, but steadily, this time,

301
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 2>pressure frightening the index finger, the muzzle touching just at

302
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.920
<v Speaker 2>air pulsing vein he had noticed in pins pencile.

303
00:20:59.319 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 4>I couldn't die.

304
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't die.

305
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 6>Now he's got to do it then, Now I showed

306
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.799
<v Speaker 6>him I did. I got twice from me.

307
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:10.759
<v Speaker 7>He got to take his turn. Now I've lived twice.

308
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 6>He hasn't yet. I wonder how just started. I wonder

309
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.839
<v Speaker 6>why it doesn't stop.

310
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.920

<v Speaker 2>that he knew he wanted to he could quit the game,

343
00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>And as he looked at Red, he became aware of

344
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.599
<v Speaker 2>the great anger. He had no directions, no apparent reason,

345
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.440
<v Speaker 2>but it filled him and made him strong.

<v Speaker 5>Oh h.

361
00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:30.759
<v Speaker 2>M. Red stood by the telephone for a long time,

362
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:35.519
<v Speaker 2>and he cried that he hadn't cried for a long

363
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:40.839
<v Speaker 2>time and stayed in the room. He felt it too

364
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:48.680
<v Speaker 2>in his throat, the thickness, the tight held tears. Either

365
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:53.160
<v Speaker 2>boy knew what it was or why. And then after

366
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:56.440
<v Speaker 2>a while he was calm again. Red came back in.

367
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:09.720
<v Speaker 6>That was mom. Oh, she said we could go to

368
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:15.079
<v Speaker 6>the tavern for dinner where I charge It had to

369
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 6>be okay.

370
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 7>Well, yeah, well, I guess we'd better clean up the place.

371
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:29.240
<v Speaker 7>Huh get the day.

372
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:31.559
<v Speaker 6>Oh.

373
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:38.960
<v Speaker 2>They cleaned up, not saying much to each other. They

374
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:43.000
<v Speaker 2>felt very close and we're not able to express their closeness.

375
00:26:44.279 --> 00:26:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Then there was the last thing to do of the

376
00:26:46.400 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 2>last part of the game to be played, and they

377
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.279
<v Speaker 2>had to know. So they walked to the edge of

378
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the town, into a shallow ravine. Red took the guns

379
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:58.599
<v Speaker 2>in his pocket. He still had the shot he'd never

380
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:03.319
<v Speaker 2>fired himself, the aim that a half burned tree stump

381
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.079
<v Speaker 2>some fifty yards away, and slowly began to squeeze the trigger.
