Eat Crow

No one can change what's happened in the past. Maybe I can do something to make up for it. To help you get a new start. Have gone. Will travel. Starring Mr. John Dainer as Paladin.

San Francisco. 1875. The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. How would he name Mr. Paladin? Oh, hey boy, you're all dressed up. Well, that's right, this is your night off. Where are you going?

Oh, Mr. Paladin, big party. Celestial Dragon Society Clubhouse. Yeah, sounds like fun. Oh, you saw. You know about mortgage on Celestial Dragon Society Clubhouse? Uh-huh. Well, we don't have money to pay off mortgage, so hey boy, get a fine idea.

What was that? Hey boy, everybody in society buy ticket on big Chinese lottery. Somebody should have win and then they give money for mortgage. That's a great idea. If it works. Oh, it drew a lottery yesterday.

Well, what do you know? So now you're celebrating with a mortgage-burning party, huh? Uh... no, not exactly. No? Nobody wins. Ah, that's too bad. Well, that figures. Well, everybody's sad. They sit around club house, tear up lottery tickets, make big pile of papers on floor.

Really disappointed. Oh yes, sir. I'll eat corn, say, look what we have for our hey boys big idea. Nothing but pile of confetti. Yes, but I don't understand then what it is you celebrate. Oh, you can let confetti go to waste, have big party.

You like to come to party, Miss Apollody? Well, I'd love to, hey boy, but I'm leaving in an hour for Phoenix in Arizona territory, but have a good time. Oh, you have good time too.
