JIM Miss Daisy, ma'am, also ma'am--if you marry dis nigger over my head, I'm going to git me a green hickory club and season it over yo' head.
DAVE Don't you be skeered, baby--papa kin take keer a _you_. (to Jim) Counting from de finger (suiting the action to the word) back to the thumb--start anything I got you some.
JIM Aw, I don't want no more fight wid you, Dave.
DAVE Who said anything about fighting? We just provin' who love Daisy de best. (to Daisy) Now, which one of us you think love you de best?
DAVE Baby, I'd walk de water for you--and tote a mountain on my head while I'm walkin'.
JIM Know whut I'd do, honey babe? If you was a thousand miles from home and you didn't have no ready-made money and you had to walk all de way, walkin' till yo' feet start to rolling, just like a wheel, and I was riding way up in de sky, I'd step backwards offa dat airyplane just to walk home wid you.
DAISY (Falling on Jim's neck) Jim, when you talk to me like dat I just can't stand it. Less us git married right now.
JIM Now you talkin' like a blue-back speller. Less go!
DAVE (Sadly) You gointer leave me lak dis, Daisy?
DAISY (Sadly) I likes you, too, Dave, I sho do. But I can't marry both of y'all at de same time.
JIM Aw, come on, Daisy--sun's gettin' low. (He starts off pulling Daisy.)
DAVE Whut's I'm gointer do? (Walking after them)
JIM Gwan back and hunt turkeys--you make out you so touchous nobody can't tell you yo' eye is black thout you got to run git de law.
DAVE (Almost tearfully) Aw Jim, shucks! Where y'all going?
(Daisy comes to an abrupt halt and stops Jim)
DAISY That's right, Honey. Where _is_ we goin' sho nuff?
JIM (Sadly) Deed I don't know, baby. They just sentenced [Note: corrected missing space] me to go--they didn't say where and I don't know.
DAISY How we goin' know how to go when [Note: corrected missing space] we don't know where we goin'?
(Jim looks at Dave as if he expects some help but Dave stands sadly silent. Jim takes a few steps forward as if to go on. Daisy makes a step or two, unwillingly, then looks behind her and stops. Dave looks as if he will follow them.)
DAISY Jim! (He stops and turns) Wait a minute! Whut we gointer do when we git there?
JIM I done tole you I don't know where it is.
