JIM.
You mean dat, Dave? (DAVE nods his head eagerly) Us wasn’t mad wid one
’nother nohow. (Beligerently) Come on, less go back to town. Dem
mallet-heads better leave me be, too. (Picks up a heavy stick) I wish
Lum would come tellin’ me ’bout de law when I got all dis law in my
hands. And de rest o’ dem gator-faced jigs, if they ain’t got a whole
sto’ o’ mule bones and a good determination, they better not bring no
mess up. Come on, boy.
(THEY start back together toward town, JIM picking a dance tune on his
guitar, and DAVE cutting steps on the ties beside him, singing,
prancing and happily, they exit, right, as
THE CURTAIN FALLS.)
