Valentine Xavier:
Ma'am, I do all kinds of electrical repairs. I do odd jobs and I need the work real bad. Lady Torrance:
What's the matter with your guitar? Are you tired of it? Valentine Xavier:
No, ma'am. That's my life's companion; but, I had to hock it once and I don't want to do that anymore. I need a steady job. Lady Torrance:
What's all that writing on it? Valentine Xavier:
Well, that's - all that's - all that's autographs of famous jazz musicians. See this name here? Leadbelly. That was the greatest man that ever lived on 12-string guitar. He played that thing so good, he broke the stone heart of a Texas governor and won himself a pardon out of jail. His name's written in the stars. This one here. Jefferson. Blind Lemon Jefferson. Lady Torrance:
Is his name written in the stars, too? Valentine Xavier:
Yeah. His name's written in the stars. Lady Torrance:
