- 11:31Speaker 7: him out. We've got to find him, Tallow. He's dangerous

- 12:39Speaker 10: Mister Shane wasn't along with us. He's got a real
- 12:42Speaker 10: fast horse. He might have done some good.
- 12:44Speaker 9: No, I doubt if his horse could have kept up

- 13:19Speaker 16: Are you listening to me?
- 13:20Speaker 12: And listen close.
- 13:21Speaker 16: As soon as it got dark, I saddled my horse
- 13:23Speaker 16: and rode out of Split Rock hustle right over here.
- 13:26Speaker 17: What's the matter. Did the honest mister Willard Shane rob
- 13:29Speaker 17: a bank? No?
- 13:31Speaker 12: I didn't rub a bank.
