There is this gentleman
that came into the diner.

His name was Dwayne something.

I can't remember
his last name.

But he told me,
"Just call me Butch.

You can remember that."

And when he came up
to the cash register,

he pulled out
this wad of bills.

And I said,
"You should be very careful

walking around Deadwood
with that much money."

And he said, "Well, why don't
you help me out

and take a couple
off my hands for me?"

And he gave me two $100 bills.

He said, "No, why don't
you take a third?

That'll help."

And the gentleman
would frequent quite often,

leaving between $100 and $500

every time he came
into the diner.

And one day,
he brought me this coat.

It was black,
and on the back,

it had gold printing
that said "Ain't Scared."

And I said, "Well, thank you,"
but I didn't understand

what that meant.

One day he came in--
and I knew he had diabetes--

and he ordered blueberry pie
and his steak tips.

And the next day, he died.

And he was leaving his money
to me to make my life happier.

So everybody has

When I was 13, I started
dreaming about Cole.

I could see
his face quite clearly

just as it is now, his beard,
his long hair, his big eyes,

and I knew his name.

In the dream, I knew his name.

Anyway, I dreamt about him
for another 20 years.

I thought,
"Well, it's been 30 years

"that I've been waiting
for this guy,

"and he's still not there,
so I may as well go."

So I packed up my stuff
and came to a very small town

and worked on a day shift
in a convenience store,

and then I switched
over to night, so I thought,

"Well, there
ain't no chance now

of ever running into him."

Sure enough, one day,
on an odd shift, that was him.

And I thought to myself,
"Oh, my God," you know,

"What am I gonna say to him,
you know,

"without getting in trouble,

to get him to remember me?"

Well, he got his gas, he came
in, and he stopped to pay me.

And I delivered my one line
to him, which was

"I love a man who knows
what he wants."

And we haven't
been apart since.

That was 11 years ago.
