But I tell you this, boys we're a long-sufferin' lot around these parts, but they's some things that we don't stand for, and one of 'em that riles us particular much is when a gent that lays out to be a regular hardworking rancher even if he ain't got much of a ranch to talk about and work about takes mankillers under their wings. It ain't regular, and it ain't popular around these parts.
