"See, there were these two guys in a lunatic asylum… and one night, one night they decide they don’t like living in an asylum any more. They decide they’re going to escape! So, like, they get up onto the roof, and there, just across this narrow gap, they see the rooftops of the town, stretching away in the moon light… stretching away to freedom. Now, the first guy, he jumps right across with no problem. But his friend, his friend didn’t dare make the leap. Y’see… Y’see, he’s afraid of falling. So then, the first guy has an idea… He says “Hey! I have my flashlight with me! I’ll shine it across the gap between the buildings. You can walk along the beam and join me!” B-but the second guy just shakes his head. He suh-says… He says “Wh-what do you think I am? Crazy? You’d turn it off when I was half way across!"

"Thomas and I had a younger brother. William. Ah, he was the best of us. A man of faith. We were running cattle over the border from El Paso and would spend time in a little cantina in San Lorenzo. That's where I first laid eyes on Marisa. Oh, I knew she belonged to Juarez, but I wanted her for mine. Marisa had other ideas though. She was in love with Thomas. They ran off together and I tracked them to these very caverns. William begged me to walk away, but oh, I was crazy with greed. I wanted Marisa... I wanted the gold... Brother William got between me and Thomas and reached into his coat. I thought he was going for a gun... So I shot him. My little brother... and as he fell, I saw what he was reaching for. A bible. In that instant, I renounced evil and embraced the word of God. Oh, we left the Gold. We knew it was cursed. And I dedicated my life to serving the Lord. I tried to make amends, but my sins were too great. Anger, hate, pride, arrogance. Oh Lord, I humbly accept that the time has come for me to offer recompense for my transgressions."
