- 0:12Speaker 1: I heard the drums coming down the street, and then
- 0:14Speaker 1: the feif's and the pipes, and then they came around
- 0:17Speaker 1: the corner, all dancing. The street full of them. My
- 0:21Speaker 1: era saw him, and then I saw him. When they
- 0:23Speaker 1: stopped the music for the crouch, he hunched down in
- 0:26Speaker 1: the street with them all, and when they started again,
- 0:29Speaker 1: he jumped up and went dancing down the street with them.
- 0:32Speaker 1: He was drunk, all right, You go down after him,
- 0:35Speaker 1: said my Era. He hates me. So I went down
- 0:39Speaker 1: and caught up with them and grabbed him while he
- 0:41Speaker 1: was crouching down waiting for the music to break loose
- 0:44Speaker 1: and said, come on, Louis, for Christ's sake, you've got
- 0:47Speaker 1: bulls this afternoon. He didn't listen to me, he was
- 0:50Speaker 1: listening so hard for the music to start. I said,
- 0:54Speaker 1: don't be a damned fool, Louise, come on back to
- 0:56Speaker 1: the hotel. Then the music started up again, and he
- 0:59Speaker 1: jumped up and twisted away from me and started dancing.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I grabbed his arm, and he pulled loose and said, oh,
- 1:05Speaker 1: leave me. Alone. You're not my father. I went back
- 1:09Speaker 1: to the hotel, and my arrow was on the balcony
- 1:11Speaker 1: looking out to see if I'd be bringing him back.
- 1:14Speaker 1: He went inside when he saw me and came downstairs disgusted. Well,
- 1:19Speaker 1: I said, after all, he's just an ignorant Mexican savage. Yes,
- 1:23Speaker 1: my era said, and who will kill his bulls after
- 1:26Speaker 1: he gets a kohida? We I suppose, I said, Yes,
- 1:31Speaker 1: we said Mayera. We killed the savages bulls, and the
- 1:34Speaker 1: drunkard's bulls and the real rio dancers bulls. Yes, we
- 1:38Speaker 1: kill them. We killed them all right, yes, yes, yes,
