CLARK.
(Turning around on the porch) I God, you back here again. Who’s tendin’ that store? (MATTIE disappears inside.)
DAVE.
Well, she always did look like new money to me when she was here before.
JIM.
Well, that’s all you ever did get was a look.
DAVE.
That’s all you know! I bet I get more than that now.
JIM.
You might git it but I’m the man to use it. I’m a bottom fish.
DAVE.
Aw, man. You musta been walking round here fast asleep when Daisy was in this county last. You ain’t seen de go I had with her.
JIM.
No, I ain’t seen it. Bet you didn’t have no letter from her while she been away.
DAVE.
Bet you didn’t neither.
JIM.
Well, it’s just cause she can’t write. If she knew how to scratch with a pencil I’d had a ton of ’em.
DAVE.
Shaw, man! I’d had a post office full of ’em.
