[Trampas tries to find homes for a group of orphans.]
Trampas
I brought 'em back.
Steve
Shultz wouldn't take 'em?
Trampas
He'd take 'em but I wouldn't leave 'em. He went over them like he was buying horses. He even looked at their teeth. All he asked was how much work they could do.
Steve
All kids got chores, you know.
Trampas
Well, he had more than chores in mind. All he wanted was a lot of hard labor for no pay. It made me feel like that fella in Oliver Twist, that Fagin.
Steve
You know what I think? I think you got soft headed. Couldn't let 'em go. That's what I think.
