CHLORINDA: Yes, sah; five million dollars?
MAYNARD: I always did like Charlie.
CHLORINDA: But you jes' said—
MAYNARD: Never mind what I just said. I was only joking. Here's a dollar to keep your mouth shut.
(MAYNARD hands CHLORINDA a dollar.)
CHLORlNDA: Yes, sah.
MAYNARD: I consider Charlie Doolittle an exceptionally bright young man, and even if he didn't have a dollar in the world I would still consider him an excellent match for my daughter.
CHLORINDA: But you jes' said he couldn't even support a cock-roach.
MAYNARD: Never mind about that. Here's another dollar. (Hands CHLORINDA another dollar.) And now, if you see Charlie Doolittle, tell him I want to see him right away.
CHLORINDA: Yes, sah. (She exits at right.)
