Big Sweet And dont be telling Leafy nothing about your after-ten- oclock-at-night feelings, neither.

Lonnie And my tongue is in Big Sweet's mouth. I say the same thing.

My Honey And I string along with my buddy. I'll fight about her too.

Leafy (Quickly and brightly) Will you, My Honey?

Lonnie Will he? Thats a true fact. Me and My Honey is buddies. Jack the Rabbit, Jack the Bear, two sworn buddies on the road somewhere. We backs one another up in everything. (There is a general murmur of confirmation)

Laura B. Lets we women teach Leafy a song.

My Honey Go ahead, and I'll pick it off for you.

Laura B, (Hesitates a minute) Oh, we dont know just which one it is just yet. You all liable to laugh at us. Come on, lets we all go out in the kitchen and practise up. Then we'll come back and show you if we make it.

Big Sweet Thats a good idea. Come on, you gals! (They all exit to the kitchen hurriedly and the men are left alone)

Few Clothes (Warming up on his mouth organ, begins to play THE FOX HUNT, and the men egg him on to the end)

My Honey That was real good, Few.

Few Clothes Lets me and you practise on together.
