Said who layed em before just did a lick and a promise. Two -
weeks - pay. Layed ten crates he say. I dont want to see one drop of rain come though. Not a speck. Two weeks pay. Humpf! Place what'n fit for no one. Where you sitting right now was full of dirt, glass, mud, rocks everywhere. Had to let the girls who worked upstairs stay at my place until it was done - took three days too. I know YOU might like four half dressed women living in your quarters but I’m a GOD man and smelling perfume oils, seeing corset undergarments, some red with leather strips, blue ones with clasp and thin lace - both are real soft smelling like lilacs... I'm not saying I held them in my left hand or took a sniff they just looked like they smelled nice and soft. Then my dog ran off and...
BASS ...if you dont mind .....

(SILAS pours another drink. BASS places his HAT back on - stands and walks over to a PIANO thats covered up with a dark blanket)

When you’re in the middle of nowhere you dont get too many
people checking in on you. Few ranchers come in every now and then hoot’n and hollering but for the most part its quiet.
