JIM
Hello, Daisy.
(Embarrassed silence)
DAISY
I was just coming over town to see how you come out.
JIM You don't have to go way over there to find dat out—you and Dave done got me run outa town for nothin'.
DAISY
(Putting her hand on his arm) Dey didn't run you outa town, did dey?
JIM (Shaking her hand off) Whut you reckon I'm countin' Mr. Railroad's ties for—just to find out how many ties between here and Orlando?
DAISY
(Hand on his arm again) Dey cain't run you off like dat!
JIM Take yo' hands off me, Daisy! How come they can't run me off wid you and Dave an'—everybody gainst me?
DAISY I ain't opened my moff 'gainst you, Jim. I ain't said one word—I wasn't even at de old trial. My madame wouldn't let me git off. I wuz just comin' to see 'bout you now.
JIM Aw, go 'head on. You figgered I was gone too long to talk about. You was haulin' it over to town to see Dave—dat's whut was doin'—after gittin me all messed up.
