Two sentences two fast for me to understand
I was trying to transcribe the dialogues from a very old US movie released in 1944. I've found two sentences that I cannot understand. The girl is from Texas and she speaks very fast.

- Oh, yes, to be excused.
- Could he certainly [.......] and showed up.
Any help, please?
