Hello guys. I need help with this last transcription, this time it´s Southern American accent. It´s really hard for me to catch some words.. So could you please write here what is that old guy saying from 1:10 to 1:35? Starting "I was scared to death ..." and ending "... what do you mean, sonny?".

I hear this so far: I was scared to death. About that time, my brother Frank came down in the south of the house, what is basicaly ---- front yard and dropped the bicycle and said.. u know.. whats goin on?? -----. And so Mr.... said: Your brother has ----- im honna give him a weapon..... And so my brother Frank said: No Sir , He said What do you mean sonny?
Thanks a lot!

I was scared to death. About that time, my brother Frank came down the [STRIKE]south[/STRIKE] side (not sure though) of the house, [STRIKE]what is basicaly[/STRIKE] on his bicycle and skidded into the front yard and dropped the bicycle and said.. u know.. whats going on?? And so Mr Almond(?) said: Your brother has laid open my son's head and I'm gonna give him a [STRIKE]weapon[/STRIKE] whipping..... And so my brother Frank said "No Sir" , He said "What do you mean sonny? "

Ok, this was a tough nut to crack.
I slowed down the whole thing with an audio editor and the the thing is more clear now.
You can download the part in question here:
