Sheriff Tim Horn:
Let Smith find himself a new boy. I can't take it another day. Four years ago, if I'd of done my job, if I'd of checked up and found out what happened. But I didn't! It was just like Smith figured... I didn't even try to find out. Don't you understand? You know, when you wear this badge, you're the Law. And when somebody does something against the Law, then you're supposed to do something about it. Me--I did nothin'. That's what's eatin' me. What kind of prescription you got for that? Doc Verlie:
I don't know. I haven't found one for myself. But there's one thing, Tim: don't quit. Sheriff Tim Horn:
Why not? Doc Verlie:

Let Smith
find himself a new boy.
00:00:04.071 --> 00:00:06.083
I can't take another day.
00:00:07.046 --> 00:00:08.857
But if you're a sheriff,
they gotta respect you.
00:00:08.881 --> 00:00:10.161
Otherwise you can't do your job.
00:00:10.258 --> 00:00:12.218
They just laugh.
00:00:12.426 --> 00:00:14.186
I don't laugh, Tim.
00:00:14.387 --> 00:00:16.727
- Why don't you?
- Cut it out, Tim.
00:00:16.931 --> 00:00:18.181
You should.
00:00:18.391 --> 00:00:19.791
In the name of
well-adjusted manhood
00:00:19.892 --> 00:00:21.037
get a hold of yourself.
Snap out of it.
00:00:21.394 --> 00:00:23.394
You're gonna have
a complex or something.
00:00:23.604 --> 00:00:25.444
Four years ago,
if I'd have done my job
00:00:25.648 --> 00:00:28.108
if I'd have checked up
and found out what happened..
00:00:28.317 --> 00:00:30.617
But I didn't.
It was just like Smith figured.
00:00:30.082 --> 00:00:31.009
Oh, what did you find out?
00:00:32.113 --> 00:00:33.113
They told you a story
00:00:33.155 --> 00:00:34.905
you had to believe it.
00:00:35.116 --> 00:00:37.746
Would you believe it?
00:00:37.952 --> 00:00:39.412
Huh?
00:00:39.062 --> 00:00:40.074
I don't know.
00:00:40.955 --> 00:00:43.755
I live a quiet,
contemplative life.
00:00:43.958 --> 00:00:47.788
Me, I didn't even try to find
out. Don't you understand?
00:00:48.978 --> 00:00:50.464
You know, when you wear
this badge, you're the law.
00:00:50.673 --> 00:00:52.276
And when somebody does
something against the law
00:00:52.003 --> 00:00:54.034
then you're supposed
to do something about it.
00:00:55.428 --> 00:00:57.258
Me, I did nothing.
00:00:58.806 --> 00:01:00.316
That's what's eating me.
00:01:00.516 --> 00:01:02.566
What kind of prescription
you got for that?
00:01:03.978 --> 00:01:05.938
I don't know.
00:01:06.001 --> 00:01:08.447
Haven't found one for myself.
00:01:08.649 --> 00:01:11.999
But there's one thing, Tim.
Don't quit!
00:01:11.652 --> 00:01:13.999
Why not?
00:01:13.821 --> 00:01:16.611
Because maybe this fellow
Macreedy's got the prescription.
00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:19.626
[door closes]
00:01:23.623 --> 00:01:26.999
[instrumental music]
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:43.001
[engine revving]
00:01:52.693 --> 00:01:55.999
