Transcription
Well there was no problem for them to put the boots to ya. They’d kick you or hit you with a sword, not with the sword itself but with the handle and if you didn’t, it all depends on what kind of a mood they were in, they could have cut your head off, it didn’t matter to them.
Interviewer: For no reason....
No. Like I say, me, I don’t know, I was, see I was a, I wasn’t working for them. I wasn’t doing them a favor but I was trying to be as nice as I could when they were around. Myself, I never got touched because, I think it was because of my size. They were after the big guys.
