Extract of Transcript

8:49    Webster: Bob, how did you feel when you saw it? Do you think somebody was pulling a gag on you?
 
Gimlin: Uh no, no, it just uh it was surprising, and, uh, we talked about these things many times and actually talked what we would do if we happened to see one. 

Webster: Now before we finish the chase, you had your rifle out of the scabbard.  What kind of rifle was it?

Gimlin: 30 aught six rifle.

Webster: And you can use a rifle obviously?

Gimlin: Yes I can, I’ve grown up with one. 

9:11    Webster:  It’d been worth a hundred thousand dollars cash to you if you had raised that rifle and shot this creature; you must have known that. 

Gimlin: I don't believe I could do it.

NOTE: Sasquatch Archives has updated a newer version of this interview; I'm not sure what the differences are, but I've not had time to listen to it and key the transcript to any new time-marks.
