DAISY
(Making as if to cry) I wasn't studying 'bout no Dave.
JIM (Hopefully) Aw, don't tell me. (Sings) Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, show me a woman that a man can trust.
(Daisy is crying now.)
JIM Whut you crying for? You know you love Dave. I'm yo' monkey-man. He always could do more wid you that I could.
DAISY
Naw, you ain't no monkey-man neither. I don't want you to leave town.
I didn't want y'all to be fightin' over me, nohow.
JIM Aw, rock on down de road wid dat stuff. A two-timing cloaker like you don't keer whut come off. Me and Dave been good friends ever since we was born till you had to go flouncing yourself around.
DAISY What did I do? All I did was to come over town to see you and git a mouf-ful of gum. Next thing I now y'all is fighting and carrying on.
JIM (stands silent for a while) Did you come over there Sat'day to see me sho nuff, sugar babe?
DAISY
Everybody could see dat but you.
JIM Just like I told you, Daisy. I'll say it before yo' face and behind yo' back. I could kiss you every day—just as regular as pig-bracks.
