after twenty years
Storyboard Text
- I dined here here at Big Joe Brady's with him. I was starting for the West . We agreed to meet after twenty years at the same place at 10'o'clock to see where life had taken us/
- It's all right officer, I'm waiting for an appointment made 20 years ago with my best chum, Jimmy wells, the staunchest and truest old chap in the world.
- You bet! I hope Jimmy has done half as well. I competed with the sharpest wits to make my pile. The West puts a razor edge on a person.
- Diamond pin, gold watch
- Good night sir!
- Did pretty well out West didn't you?
- Is that you, Jimmy Wells?
- They walk hand in hand down the street
- The note said-
- Bully; it has given me everything I have asked for.
- Is that you Bob?
- Come, let's go to a place i know of and talk about old times.
- Bless my heart! It's Bob , sure as fate! How has the West treated you, old man?
- When they come to a lit shop, they look at each other. Suddenly-
- You're not Jimmy Wells! 20 years is a long time, but not long enough to change one's nose.
- But it's enough to change a good man into a bad one. You've been under arrest for 10 minutes, 'Silky' Bob. Chicago thinks you may have dropped our way and wants a chat with you. Going quietly? That's sensible. Now, before we go to the station, I was asked to hand you a note. It's from Patrolman Wells.
- Bob's hand was steady when he began reading the note, but it trembled a little by the time he finished.
- Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar, I saw it was the face of the person wanted in Chicago. Somehow, I couldn't do it myself, so I got a plain-clothed man to do the job.
