take my hand, sammy. what happened? i see. looks like he's going to need a couple or so stitches. better get him upstairs. he'll be all right in the morning. how about a snort? sure he'll make it. can't kill off a salty old hairpin like dave that easy. oh! yeah -- don't pay to start something with 'em you don't intend to finish. pity they didn't string him up while they wore about it. he will, if he stays here long enough. well, here's now. they're certainly running for him. about time, too. he's taken a beating this last week would shake a better man. no more tonight, son. i've a full day ahead. somebody better fetch harolday.
