DAISY.
Well, if you all gonna keep up this quarrelin’and carryin’on I’m goin’home. ’Bout time for me to be gittin’back to my white folks anyhow. It’s dark now. I’m goin’, even if I have to go by myself. I shouldn’t a stopped by here nohow.
JIM.
(Stopping his quarrel) You ain’t gonna go home by yourself. I’m goin’with you.
DAVE.
(Singing softly)
It may be so,
I don’t know.
But it sounds to me
Like a lie.
WALTER.
Dave ain’t got as much rabbit blood as folks thought.
DAVE.
Tell ’em ’bout me. (Turns to DAISY) Won’t you choose a treat on me, Miss Daisy, ’fore we go?
DAISY.
(Coyly) Yessir, thank you. I wants a drink of soda water.
(DAVE pulls his hat down over his eyes, whirls around and offers his arm to DAISY. They strut into the store, DAVE gazing contemptuously at JIM as he passes. Crowd roars with laughter, much to the embarrassment of JIM.)
LIGE.
Ol’ fast Dave jus’ runnin’the hog right over you, Jim.
WALTER.
Thought you was such a hot man.
LUM BOGER.
Want me to go in there and put Daisy under arrest and bring her to you?
