Before, crooked most of them, but I ain't ever knowed one like you.

You didn't have to do that, you do.

It depends on how you look at it.

Speaker 2

I'd say the.

Speaker 1

Law is a set of rules make things run smoother, retnant, so everybody knows.

Speaker 3

What they are and what the proble these are.

Speaker 2

The rules hold for all the law man, the same as for anybody else.

Speaker 5

And even more so what rule's talking about?

Speaker 2

When a prisoner escapes, it's your job to go after him him back.

That's one of them.

Speaker 3

Even when they're gonna turn me loose, and everybody knows.

Speaker 2

It that's up to the court.

That's to do with me.

Speaker 3

You know, it just don't make sense.

Speaker 2

I'm not tell you.

Maybe and I reckon you'll try telling me there's some rule about you jumping into that water and dragging me out.

Speaker 5

A person are in custody is not able to look out for himself.

Speaker 2

It's after the law man to take care of him.

Speaker 3

And I wouldn't have jumped in next to you.

I had to cut out and run for it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I guess you wouldn't.

I am too sure.

Speaker 3

That's why demmit Marshall.

Speaker 2

Just because of some rule.

I don't you figure it's your way anyway?

Speaker 3

How much a bride for you pulling me out of there?

You sure that I was done for?

Speaker 2

Come on, let's get started.

I got a jail so waiting for you.
