[GUARD, spoken]
Hey, Jim! Got you a visitor, Boy

[SLATON, spoken]
Hello, Jim

[CONLEY, spoken]
You who I think you are?
[SLATON, spoken]
Coupla questions for you

[CONLEY, spoken]
You want some water? Bring the Gov'nor some water!

[SLATON, spoken]
No, no, thank you

[CONLEY, spoken]
We fixin' to talk 'bout that mess with Mr. Frank?

[SLATON, spoken]
Yes

[CONLEY, CHAIN GANG]
Yeah (Yeah)

[SLATON, spoken]
When they found the body in the basement, the coroner's report says there was sawdust in the mouth and lungs

[CONLEY, CHAIN GANG]
Yeah (Yeah)

[SLATON, spoken]
Got any idea what that means?
[CONLEY, CHAIN GANG]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

[SLATON, spoken]
Means she had to be breathin' in the basement, because there isn't any sawdust on the second floor. It means she was alive when you carried her into the basement

[CONLEY, spoken]
Then she musta come back to life, because she was dead as last Christmas Eve when Mr. Frank showed me the body!

(sung)
We're gonna roll like thunder

[SLATON, spoken]
Coroner's Report raises questions about your story, wouldn't you say?

[CONLEY, spoken]
That so? You can try to prove that in court, I imagine

(sung)
You ever been on the chain gang, Gov'nor?

[SLATON, spoken]
