he served his time for what he did. another thing.  if lula went with him of her own volition - willingly, that is - there aint much can be done about it.
ill locate lula, marietta, and if shes with the ripley boy, ill give him a talkin to and try to convince her to come back with me. thats about all i can do.

sailor aint a murderer. you got to get off that kick. and fars i can tell, sailor was entire clean prior to that involvin lula. even there he was protectin her. you oughta be thankin him for that. that bob ray lemon they say was comin after the both of em. why am i tellin you this, you was around that night. you ought to know just exactly what happened. sailor just got a little too forceful is all.  you remember that night.
