JADED








Martin :
I sent a kid to find you. 
Didn't he come? 

Cain :
He was here. 

You've been my friend all my life. 
You got me this job. 
You made them send for me. 

Ever since I was a kid, 
I wanted to be like you, Mart. 
You've been A Lawman all your life. 

Martin :
Yeah, yeah, all my life. 
It's a great life. 

You risk your skin catching killers, 
and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. 




If You're Honest, 
You're Poor Your Whole Life. 

And in The End, you wind up
 dying all alone on some dirty street. 

For what? For nothing
For a tin star. 

Cain :
Listen, The Judge has left town, 
Harvey's quit, and I'm having trouble getting deputies. 

Martin :
It figures. 
It's all happened too sudden.
 
People got to talk themselves into Law and Order before They do anything about it. 
Maybe because down deep 
They Don't Care

They just Don't Care. 

Cain :
What'll I do, Mart?

 Martin :
I was hoping you wouldn't come back. 

Cain :
You know why I came back. 
Well, not to commit suicide
Sometimes... Sometimes prison changes a man. 

Martin :
Not him. This is all planned. 
That's why they're all here. 
Get out, Will. Get out. 

Cain :
Will you come down to that depot with me? 

Martin :
No. You know how I feel about you. 
But I ain't going with you. 

Seems like a man with busted knuckles 
didn't need arthritis, too, don't it? 

No, I couldn't do nothing for you. 

You'd be worried about me. 
You'd get yourself killed worrying about me. 

It's too one-sided like it is. 

Cain :
So long, Mart. 

Martin :
So long. 

It's all for nothing, Will. 
It's all for nothing.
