LUKE. How many Crosbys did they say I killed?
REVENUE. I think the last report said you had just removed the twelfth.
LUKE. It's a lie! I only killed six ... that's all they wuz—growed up. I'm a-waitin' fer one now that's only thirteen.
REVENUE. When'll he be ripe?
LUKE. Jes as soon as he comes a-lookin' fer me.
REVENUE. Will he come?
LUKE. He'll come if he's a Crosby.
REVENUE. A brave family?
LUKE. They don't make 'em any braver—they'd be first-rate folks if they wuzn't Crosbys.
REVENUE. If you feel that way why did you start fighting them?
