1.1 ::- :=Addie: Save a few little cakes, too, she like -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: tell him to bring the blue book and -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: Really I promised Mr. Marshall. I -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: very much. We had such a nice talk and -- 1.1 ::- :=Leo: Of course, Uncle Ben. I didn't mean -- 1.1 ::- :=Marshall: the summer, Europe with their mother -- 1.1 ::- :=Leo: Oh, I didn't mean, sir -- 1.1 ::- :=Marshall: see? My train will be leaving soon and -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: -- I -- I had a little headache and -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: dear. But I have my headache now. I -- 1.1 ::- :=Marshall: Indeed I do. If your headache isn't -- 1.1 ::- :=Ben: more, niggers to lift their fingers -- 1.1 ::- :=Birdie: knew that. We were better to them than -- 1.1 ::- :=Alexandra: Uncle Ben, please? I'd like to and -- 1.1 ::- :=Alexandra: But Leo always -- 1.2 ::- :=Birdie: I'd like -- 1.2 ::- :=Birdie: the killing. You only throw them away -- 1.2 ::- :=Ben: I have -- 1.2 ::- :=Birdie: to shoot, when poor people need it so -- 1.2 ::- :=Birdie: Lionnet and -- and about your shooting -- 1.2 ::- :=Ben: I said -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: get their hands on a case like this -- 1.3 ::- :=Oscar: for the money if he wanted to -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: his interests. It seems only natural -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: she says that I miss him and want him -- 1.3 ::- :=Ben: And I agree. That's settled now and -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: I don't want to fight, Ben -- 1.3 ::- :=Oscar: didn't want to do. And this is what I -- 1.3 ::- :=Ben: Leo. They may even marry some day and -- 1.3 ::- :=Birdie: Marry -- Zan and Leo -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: consider. They are first cousins, and -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: took a little money from the bank and -- 1.3 ::- :=Oscar: That's all past history -- 1.3 ::- :=Regina: show you that there are considerations -- 1.3 ::- :=Oscar: I have your word that you will try to -- 1.3 ::- :=Birdie: I -- Alexandra is only seventeen. She -- 1.4 ::- :=Addie: He'd expect me to be along -- 1.4 ::- :=Leo: Look at Mary Prester and Johanna and -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: may be too sick. She couldn't do that -- 1.4 ::- :=Alexandra: come home for me, if he is too sick to -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: That's not what I'm worried about. Zan -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: It's about Leo -- 1.4 ::- :=Alexandra: off. He always beats the horses as if -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: I love you more than anybody else -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: not going to let them do that to you -- 1.4 ::- :=Alexandra: I've never even thought about it -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: to think about such a thing. You and -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: They'll make you. They'll make you -- 1.4 ::- :=Birdie: I just couldn't stand -- 1.4 ::- :=Alexandra: What happened? What happened? I -- 2.1 ::- :=Addie: alone to bring home a sick man without -- 2.1 ::- :=Cal: for a little piece of that meat -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: any message from Uncle Horace or Zan -- 2.1 ::- :=Oscar: the letters, then he don't come home -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: Uncle Horace don't come home or don't -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: I wasn't thinking of myself, Papa -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: and two old schoolbooks with notes and -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: up the box quick and I told them never -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: put the keys back in Manders' drawer -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: I didn't. I told you I didn't. No, I -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: No. I -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: was in the bank when I did it. But -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: if I had the bonds, I'd watch 'em like -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: breakfast! Lend me the bonds! My God -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: He wouldn't even miss them. Ah, well -- 2.1 ::- :=Leo: were in Europe. I was just a kid then -- 2.2 ::- :=Alexandra: chair. I'll get that and the valises -- 2.2 ::- :=Addie: your hair a good brushing -- go on -- 2.2 ::- :=Alexandra: and remember about his medicine, Addie -- 2.2 ::- :=Addie: You're going to be in your bed -- 2.2 ::- :=Addie: Regina. They're home. They got here -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: was hard on you. I didn't think that -- 2.2 ::- :=Horace: I had never been away. All of you here -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: Birdie, what a thing to say -- 2.2 ::- :=Leo: give you all the news about the bank -- 2.2 ::- :=Birdie: Horace I just rushed out of the house -- 2.2 ::- :=Oscar: dressed that way? My dear Birdie, I -- 2.2 ::- :=Oscar: around the streets like a woman -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: I was thinking you were in pain and -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: business I've been writing you about -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: they, that your fancy women may have -- 2.2 ::- :=Horace: a sudden there we were. I got hurt and -- 2.2 ::- :=Regina: She'll be a very great heiress -- 2.3 ::- :=Regina: you could guess how much he needed you -- 2.3 ::- :=Horace: made you think I'd let Zan marry -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: He's rather talk about it tomorrow -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: explained. Tomorrow will do. I can -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: a smile do more to the heart of men -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: Papa, I -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: -- would lend him these bonds and he -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: I don't know. I -- well, I -- 2.3 ::- :=Oscar: me he won't look at them until Fall -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: I -- not till Fall. Uncle Horace never -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: That's a good one. Not know his name -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: They're in the safe-deposit box and -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: share. I'd enjoy being a partner -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: would? You can go to hell, you little -- 2.3 ::- :=Leo: what a great day this was for me and -- 2.3 ::- :=Alexandra: talk to him like that -- please, make her stop. She'll -- 2.3 ::- :=Alexandra: Go on up, Uncle Ben, please -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: Well, I must go now. I'm very late -- 2.3 ::- :=Ben: He's going on to deliver to Marshall -- 2.3 ::- :=Regina: can't have -- You will wait until I -- 2.3 ::- :=Regina: Come back here. Come back here, you -- 2.3 ::- :=Alexandra: Papa, Papa, please go back! You will -- 2.3 ::- :=Alexandra: Papa. Just don't listen. Go away -- 2.3 ::- :=Alexandra: Papa! Don't -- Don't listen -- Don't -- 3.1 ::- :=Alexandra: I never knew -- 3.1 ::- :=Birdie: bad. Oscar never tells me anything -- 3.1 ::- :=Birdie: good humor when he got home, I didn't -- 3.1 ::- :=Cal: Manders, Mr. Joe Horns, and Mr. Leo -- 3.1 ::- :=Addie: Miss Birdie, don't -- 3.1 ::- :=Alexandra: Couldn't we find a way to go -- 3.1 ::- :=Addie: like this you'll get a headache and -- 3.1 ::- :=Birdie: say, "Birdie's got a headache again" -- 3.1 ::- :=Birdie: you haven't got my Mama to remember -- 3.1 ::- :=Addie: Mr. Horace -- 3.1 ::- :=Addie: I don't know what to say for thanks -- 3.1 ::- :=Addie: feel well and it won't do no good -- 3.2 ::- :=Horace: it was, because I had made a decision -- 3.2 ::- :=Regina: night, praying you wouldn't come near -- 3.2 ::- :=Horace: bottle is upstairs. Addie! Addie! Come -- 3.2 ::- :=Cal: My God. Mr. Horace -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: all over town for you and Uncle Ben -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: told us it was a sudden attack, and -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: me, please? I been looking for you for -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: But he was all right -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: I been trying to find you for an hour -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: them. He's had the box since Wednesday -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: the bonds. Ain't that clear enough -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: Manders and says the box came O.K. and -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: That might not mean a thing -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: -- What -- Do you think he's seen the -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: I'm going to -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: he say something -- I don't understand -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: was going to say it to Fowler tonight -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: believe? I do the dirty work and then -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: You -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: Maybe he didn't know that we -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: Manders seemed kind of puzzled and -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: But we got to find out -- 3.3 ::- :=Cal: landing, fallen over, his eyes tight -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: He would have told his own wife -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: It can't do no harm to say it -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: to do is say he didn't lend them to me -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: Is there anything we can do for Horace -- 3.3 ::- :=Ben: You don't feel well. Ah -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: What do you mean? What bonds? What -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: That's ridiculous, Regina, absolutely -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: talking about. What would I -- Why -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: You are talking -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: steal anything. I don't know why -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: I didn't steal -- 3.3 ::- :=Leo: had lent them -- I could have told you -- 3.3 ::- :=Ben: all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 3.3 ::- :=Regina: bad, Ben, naturally. I hadn't thought -- 3.3 ::- :=Regina: to know that. Ah, I had greater hopes -- 3.3 ::- :=Ben: Now don't worry and -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: My dear Regina -- 3.3 ::- :=Oscar: mighty crazy. Having just admitted -- 3.3 ::- :=Ben: the hell is Sloan? Take the buggy and -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: What? Alexandra -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: know he was that sick. Well, well -- I -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: I -- What a strange thing to ask! I -- 3.4 ::- :=Ben: He had -- 3.4 ::- :=Ben: Not in front of the child, Regina. I -- 3.4 ::- :=Regina: Tomorrow morning I go to Judge Simmes -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: And what proof? What proof of all this -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: We'll deny -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: way when upstairs not five minutes ago -- 3.4 ::- :=Oscar: Are you going to let her do this -- 3.1 ::'BOUT :=Cal: 'Bout ten minutes before it's five. 2.1 ::'EM :=Cal: nigger in town a Jesus-party. Most of 'em ain't had no meat since the cotton picking 2.1 ::'EM :=Leo: can bet if I had the bonds, I'd watch 'em like -- 3.3 ::'EM :=Cal: No, I ain't seen 'em. I ain't got time to answer you. I got 1.1 ::A :=Addie: Did she? Well, see that Belle saves a little for her. She like it right before 1.1 ::A :=Addie: it right before she go to bed. Save a few little cakes, too, she like -- 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: my desk drawer and -- My, Addie. What a good supper! Just as good as good can 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: opera in Chicago. Mr. Marshall is such a polite man with his manners and very educated 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: dinner table and go running about like a child? 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: see that. Very, very much. We had such a nice talk and -- 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: You have been chattering to him like a magpie. You haven't let him be for a second. 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: a magpie. You haven't let him be for a second. I can't think he came South to 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: I don't believe he was bored. He's a very educated, cultured gentleman. I just 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: always talk like that when I'm having a nice time. 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: get yourself in hand. Stop acting like a fool. 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: Ben means that worldliness is not a mark of beauty in any woman. 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: No one ever had their first taste of a better port. Well, I suppose it is all 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: That you Southerners occupy a unique position in America. You live better 1.1 ::A :=Ben: A great many Southerners don't. 1.1 ::A :=Ben: But we are a very close family. We've always wanted 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: I dare say. She moves about a great deal. And all of you are part of 1.1 ::A :=Ben: and me. My sister's good husband is a banker. 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: Your uncle means that a young man should speak more modestly. 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: well, because I had -- I -- I had a little headache and -- 1.1 ::A :=Oscar: My wife is a miserable victim of headaches. 1.1 ::A :=Alexandra: She's my teacher. May we play a duet? May we, Mama? 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: have been here, and solidly here, for a long time. 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: heard of anything but brick houses on a lake, and cotton mills. 1.1 ::A :=Ben: in the South. It still brings us in a fair crop. Ah, they were great days for 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: My father was killed in the war. He was a fine soldier, Mr. Marshall. A fine man 1.1 ::A :=Birdie: He was a fine soldier, Mr. Marshall. A fine man. 1.1 ::A :=Regina: Oh, certainly, Birdie. A famous soldier. 1.1 ::A :=Ben: example, looked down on them. To make a long story short, Lionnet now belongs to 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: May I bring you a glass of port, Mrs. Hubbard? 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: everything this afternoon. I have only a few minutes before I must leave for the 1.1 ::A :=Ben: My sister is right. I am a plain man and I am trying to say a plain 1.1 ::A :=Ben: am a plain man and I am trying to say a plain thing. A man ain't only in business 1.1 ::A :=Ben: and I am trying to say a plain thing. A man ain't only in business for what he 1.1 ::A :=Ben: true for the nigger picking cotton for a silver quarter, as it is for you and me. 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: Really? Well, I always thought it was a great deal. 1.1 ::A :=Marshall: You have a turn for neat phrases, Hubbard. Well, however 1.1 ::A :=Ben: fill them up. Down here, sir, we have a strange custom. We drink the last drink 1.1 ::A :=Ben: custom. We drink the last drink for a toast. That's to prove that the Southerner 1.1 ::A :=Ben: and Marshall, Cotton Mills, and to it a long and prosperous life. 1.1 ::A :=Leo: Ben lets me drive the horses. And a beautiful pair they are. Come on, Zan. 1.2 ::A :=Regina: Did he? He seems a lonely man. Imagine being lonely with all 1.2 ::A :=Birdie: Not like his wife? What a thing to say. 1.2 ::A :=Regina: She's away a great deal. He said that several times. 1.2 ::A :=Regina: I said I think you should either be a nigger or a millionaire. In between, like 1.2 ::A :=Regina: think you should either be a nigger or a millionaire. In between, like us, what 1.2 ::A :=Regina: Well, we must remember tonight. It's a very important night and we mustn't forget 1.2 ::A :=Regina: and then we'll really have them. Make a wish, Birdie, any wish. It's bound to come 1.2 ::A :=Regina: like it! Don't pretend. You're like a cat who's been licking the cream. Now we 1.2 ::A :=Regina: the cream. Now we must all have a drink to celebrate. 1.2 ::A :=Oscar: The children, Alexandra and Leo, make a very handsome couple, Regina. Marshall 1.2 ::A :=Ben: as if the deal's all set. I may not be a subtle man -- but -- Now somebody ask me 1.2 ::A :=Ben: down here we drink the last drink for a toast? 1.2 ::A :=Ben: done business with men whose word over a glass is better than a bond. Anyway it 1.2 ::A :=Ben: whose word over a glass is better than a bond. Anyway it don't hurt to have bot 1.2 ::A :=Regina: And I saw a lot more than that. 1.2 ::A :=Ben: the chickens. Well, God would allow us a little daydreaming. Good for the soul when 1.2 ::A :=Ben: to deserve it. I think I'll have a stable. For a long time I've had my good 1.2 ::A :=Ben: it. I think I'll have a stable. For a long time I've had my good eyes on Carter's 1.2 ::A :=Ben: my good eyes on Carter's in Savannah. A rich man's pleasure, the sport of kings, 1.2 ::A :=Ben: grow. But we are all entitled to a little side indulgence. 1.2 ::A :=Oscar: so. Well, then, I think we might take a few trips here and there, eh, Birdie? 1.2 ::A :=Oscar: We might even make a regular trip to Jekyll Island. I've heard 1.2 ::A :=Oscar: We might think about buying it. Make a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change 1.2 ::A :=Oscar: a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change of climate. Fine shooting on Jekyll, 1.2 ::A :=Regina: Two! I should like a thousand. You are modest, Birdie. 1.2 ::A :=Birdie: Papa had it. Every year it used to get a nice coat of paint -- Papa was very particular 1.2 ::A :=Ben: That's a pretty picture, Birdie. Might be a most 1.2 ::A :=Ben: a pretty picture, Birdie. Might be a most pleasant way to live. What do you 1.2 ::A :=Birdie: I could have a cutting garden. Just where Mama's used 1.2 ::A :=Ben: It'll take a great deal of money to live as you're planning, 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: dollars. For fifty-one per cent -- a controlling interest, mind you, we will 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: and twenty- five thousand dollars is a lot of money. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: I know the terms and I know it's a lot of money. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: saving for me. But that would give you a strange partner. And strange partners sometimes 1.3 ::A :=Regina: And strange partners sometimes want a great deal. But perhaps it would be wise 1.3 ::A :=Regina: are like once they get their hands on a case like this -- 1.3 ::A :=Regina: it occurred to you that Horace is also a good businessman? 1.3 ::A :=Ben: Certainly. He is a shrewd trader. Always has been. The bank 1.3 ::A :=Regina: thousand he has to put up. That's a lot of money, too. 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: Nonsense. He knows a good thing when he hears it. He knows that 1.3 ::A :=Ben: is saying that Horace wants more than a third of our share. 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: But he's only putting up a third of the money. You put up a third 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: up a third of the money. You put up a third and you get a third. What else could 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: money. You put up a third and you get a third. What else could he expect? 1.3 ::A :=Regina: It would seem that if you put up a third you should only get a third. But 1.3 ::A :=Regina: you put up a third you should only get a third. But then again, there's no law about 1.3 ::A :=Regina: just might say, I want more, I want a bigger share. You boys have done that. 1.3 ::A :=Ben: he has deliberately held out? For a larger share? Well, I don't believe it. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: to persuade Horace unless he did get a larger share. I must look after his interests. 1.3 ::A :=Ben: I haven't said a thing. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: him, before he came home. Horace is a very sick man. And even if you don't care 1.3 ::A :=Ben: cent, instead of the thirty-three and a third he really should get. I'll do that, 1.3 ::A :=Ben: then by my brother. And I ain't a man who likes being attacked. I can't believe 1.3 ::A :=Ben: to make you more money now. You'll be a very rich man. What's the difference to 1.3 ::A :=Ben: What's the difference to any of us if a little more goes here, a little less goes 1.3 ::A :=Ben: any of us if a little more goes here, a little less goes there -- it's all in the 1.3 ::A :=Oscar: That would make a great difference in my feelings. If they 1.3 ::A :=Ben: what I mean. Of course it would make a difference. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: too far away. We'll talk about it in a few years. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: There's a lot of things to consider. They are first 1.3 ::A :=Ben: These quarrels. I dislike them so. A marriage might be a very wise arrangement, 1.3 ::A :=Ben: I dislike them so. A marriage might be a very wise arrangement, for several reasons. 1.3 ::A :=Regina: said I was opposed to it. But Leo is a wild boy. There were those times when he 1.3 ::A :=Regina: There were those times when he took a little money from the bank and -- 1.3 ::A :=Regina: My, you're in a bad humor and you shall put me in one. 1.4 ::A :=Leo: You can always spot clothes made in a good place. Looks like maybe they were 1.4 ::A :=Alexandra: It's a lovely night. You should have come, Aunt 1.4 ::A :=Addie: Going alone? Going by herself? A child that age! Mr. Horace ain't going 1.4 ::A :=Regina: I'll be up in a few minutes to tell you what to pack. I 1.4 ::A :=Regina: would have delighted me. You're a strange girl, Alexandra. Addie has babied 1.4 ::A :=Ben: it over. Good night, everybody. Have a nice trip, Alexandra. The food on the train 1.4 ::A :=Ben: good. The celery is so crisp. Have a good time and act like a little lady. 1.4 ::A :=Ben: crisp. Have a good time and act like a little lady. 1.4 ::A :=Leo: Imagine your not wanting to go! What a little fool you are. Wish it were me. What 1.4 ::A :=Leo: Wish it were me. What I could do in a place like Baltimore! 1.4 ::A :=Birdie: I couldn't stand to think about such a thing. You and -- 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: Wouldn't you think a girl that age could get on a train at one 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: you think a girl that age could get on a train at one place and have sense enough 2.1 ::A :=Addie: happened. Sure fire disgrace to let a baby like that go all the way alone to 2.1 ::A :=Addie: go all the way alone to bring home a sick man without -- 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: You do a lot of judging around here, Addie, eh? 2.1 ::A :=Regina: just hasn't got sense enough to send a message. 2.1 ::A :=Regina: the train may have been delayed -- oh, a hundred things could have kept them. 2.1 ::A :=Cal: sir. I bet you. Simon he say you had a mighty good day yesterday morning. That's 2.1 ::A :=Cal: squirrel to give every nigger in town a Jesus-party. Most of 'em ain't had no meat 2.1 ::A :=Cal: was over. Bet they'd give anything for a little piece of that meat -- 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: Cal, if I catch a nigger in this town going shooting, you 2.1 ::A :=Leo: The boys in the bank don't know a thing. They haven't had any message. 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: I told you if they had a message to bring it here. I told you that 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: I told you that if they didn't have a message to stay at the bank and do your 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: start settling down. You going to be a married man one of these days. 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: your Uncle Horace you going to make a fit husband for Alexandra. 2.1 ::A :=Leo: Oh, he'll go along. It's too good a thing. Why wouldn't he want to? He's got 2.1 ::A :=Leo: fine. Then right next to them is a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo 2.1 ::A :=Leo: to them is a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- 2.1 ::A :=Leo: shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- nobody'd believe this 2.1 ::A :=Leo: and, and -- nobody'd believe this -- a piece of an old violin. Not even a whole 2.1 ::A :=Leo: -- a piece of an old violin. Not even a whole violin. Just a piece of an old thing, 2.1 ::A :=Leo: violin. Not even a whole violin. Just a piece of an old thing, a piece of a vi 2.1 ::A :=Leo: violin. Just a piece of an old thing, a piece of a violin. 2.1 ::A :=Leo: a piece of an old thing, a piece of a violin. 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: A piece of a violin! What do you think of 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: A piece of a violin! What do you think of that! 2.1 ::A :=Leo: Yes, sirree. A lot of other crazy things, too. A poem, 2.1 ::A :=Leo: A lot of other crazy things, too. A poem, I guess it is, signed with his mother's 2.1 ::A :=Leo: if I wanted to see, too. So I looked a little, I guess, but then I made them close 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: going to be angry with you. Sometimes a young fellow deserves credit for looking 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: see what's going on. Sometimes that's a good sign in a fellow your age. Many great 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: on. Sometimes that's a good sign in a fellow your age. Many great men have made 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: have been -- well, it may have been a good thing if you had. 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: If you had them. Then you could have a share in the mill, you and me. A fine, 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: have a share in the mill, you and me. A fine, big share, too. Well, a man can't 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: and me. A fine, big share, too. Well, a man can't be shot for wanting to see his 2.1 ::A :=Leo: he can just sit back and wait to be a millionaire. 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: No, I suppose not. Just a fancy of mine. A loan for three months, 2.1 ::A :=Oscar: I suppose not. Just a fancy of mine. A loan for three months, maybe four, easy 2.1 ::A :=Regina: news or you would have heard it. Quite a convention so early in the morning, aren't 2.1 ::A :=Ben: died up in Senateville. Eighty-one is a good time for us all, eh? What do you think 2.1 ::A :=Regina: course they've started. Didn't I have a letter from Alexandra? What is so strange 2.1 ::A :=Ben: I'm a natural worrier. Especially when I am getting 2.1 ::A :=Ben: when I am getting ready to close a business deal and one of my partners remains 2.1 ::A :=Leo: tales to tell, I bet. Baltimore is a lively town. 2.1 ::A :=Leo: three of the boys and myself took a train once and went over to Baltimore. 2.1 ::A :=Leo: thought we were in Europe. I was just a kid then -- 2.2 ::A :=Alexandra: help it and there was no way to send a message. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: Since when I ain't old enough to hold a bottle of medicine? You feel all right, 2.2 ::A :=Horace: Zan. Not for a minute, dear. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: I'm just tired, darling. Let me rest a little. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: Then let your papa rest for a minute. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: You'd be a better one if you didn't look so dirty. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: didn't look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. Change your linens, get out a fresh 2.2 ::A :=Addie: a bath. Change your linens, get out a fresh dress and give your hair a good brushing 2.2 ::A :=Addie: out a fresh dress and give your hair a good brushing -- go on -- 2.2 ::A :=Addie: her help you and then I'll make you a fresh breakfast. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: can make much difference now. Get me a cup, Addie. Funny. They can't make coffee 2.2 ::A :=Horace: I used to drink it? Ten, twelve cups a day. So strong it had to stain the cup. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: because smoke's going to start out of a building that ain't even up yet. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: Zan, she going to marry Mr. Leo in a little while. 2.2 ::A :=Addie: I'm telling you. There's going to be a wedding -- Over my dead body there is. 2.2 ::A :=Oscar: You're a sight for sore eyes. 2.2 ::A :=Leo: I'm fine, sir. But a lot better now that you're back. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: I didn't feel good, a little weak, I guess, and we stopped over 2.2 ::A :=Regina: Birdie, what a thing to say -- 2.2 ::A :=Regina: Now, no fights. This is a holiday. 2.2 ::A :=Birdie: Oh. Tell Zan I'll be back in a little while. Sorry, Oscar. 2.2 ::A :=Regina: your breakfast and let Horace rest for a minute? 2.2 ::A :=Ben: Never leave a meal unfinished. There are too many poor 2.2 ::A :=Oscar: crazy. Running around the streets like a woman -- 2.2 ::A :=Regina: Well. Here we are. It's been a long time. Five months. You know, Horace, 2.2 ::A :=Regina: Don't try to tell me you didn't have a bad time of it. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: I didn't have a bad time. No, I didn't, Regina. Oh, at 2.2 ::A :=Regina: It sounds almost like a holiday. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: The first holiday I've had since I was a little kid. 2.2 ::A :=Regina: And instead you were having a holiday! A holiday of thinking. Couldn't 2.2 ::A :=Regina: And instead you were having a holiday! A holiday of thinking. Couldn't you have 2.2 ::A :=Regina: any such arrangement. It was simply a way of keeping Oscar quiet in all this 2.2 ::A :=Horace: live. As long as I live. I've been in a hospital for five months. Yet since I've 2.2 ::A :=Regina: did. I only thought you might catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you say. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: any more. My "thinking" has made a difference. 2.2 ::A :=Horace: so much not to fight, and then all of a sudden there we were. I got hurt and - 2.2 ::A :=Regina: but -- couldn't you stay down here a few minutes longer? I want Ben to tell 2.2 ::A :=Regina: to your beloved daughter. She'll be a very great heiress -- 2.3 ::A :=Ben: not? Horace has done Hubbard Sons many a good turn. Why shouldn't I be anxious to 2.3 ::A :=Ben: What a woman you married, Horace. Well, then I'll 2.3 ::A :=Ben: to make those fingers grow longer: I'm a lucky man, Horace, a lucky man. To dream 2.3 ::A :=Ben: grow longer: I'm a lucky man, Horace, a lucky man. To dream and to live to get 2.3 ::A :=Ben: you've dreamed of. That's my idea of a lucky man. For thirty years I've cried 2.3 ::A :=Regina: agreed to give us -- you, I mean -- a much larger share. 2.3 ::A :=Regina: Exactly. So I did a little bargaining for you and convinced 2.3 ::A :=Regina: they weren't the only Hubbards who had a business sense. 2.3 ::A :=Horace: eh, Ben? Now let's see. We're getting a bigger share. Who's getting less? 2.3 ::A :=Ben: seventy-five thousand will make you a million. 2.3 ::A :=Ben: Cheap. You'd think the Governor of a great state would make his price a little 2.3 ::A :=Ben: of a great state would make his price a little higher. From pride, you know. Cheap 2.3 ::A :=Ben: says to me, "and that averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By God," I tell him, 2.3 ::A :=Ben: that averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By God," I tell him, "I'd work for 2.3 ::A :=Ben: God," I tell him, "I'd work for eight a week myself." Why, there ain't a mountain 2.3 ::A :=Ben: eight a week myself." Why, there ain't a mountain white or a town nigger but wouldn't 2.3 ::A :=Ben: Why, there ain't a mountain white or a town nigger but wouldn't give his right 2.3 ::A :=Horace: off against each other. You can save a little money that way, Ben. And make them 2.3 ::A :=Horace: And make them hate each other just a little more than they do now. 2.3 ::A :=Ben: three years." I say to him, "What's a strike? I never heard of one. Come South, 2.3 ::A :=Horace: right. Well, it looks like you made a good deal for yourselves, and for Marshall, 2.3 ::A :=Ben: that's not what he means. Turning down a fortune. Horace is tired. He's rather talk 2.3 ::A :=Horace: Please, Regina, it's been a hard trip. I don't feel well. Please leave 2.3 ::A :=Ben: used to tell you, it's unwise for a good-looking woman to frown. Softness and 2.3 ::A :=Ben: woman to frown. Softness and a smile do more to the heart of men -- 2.3 ::A :=Leo: enough. Like the niggers always say: a man born of a woman can't build nothing 2.3 ::A :=Leo: the niggers always say: a man born of a woman can't build nothing high enough for 2.3 ::A :=Ben: He's tired. It was a mistake to talk to him today. He's a sick 2.3 ::A :=Ben: a mistake to talk to him today. He's a sick man, but he isn't a crazy one. 2.3 ::A :=Ben: today. He's a sick man, but he isn't a crazy one. 2.3 ::A :=Oscar: And plenty who will want a lot for what they give. The ones who are 2.3 ::A :=Oscar: through our fingers. You can't do a thing. But there may be something I could 2.3 ::A :=Oscar: Leo's got a friend. Leo's friend owns eighty-eight 2.3 ::A :=Oscar: much -- not for five or six months at a time. 2.3 ::A :=Leo: That's a good one. Not know his name -- 2.3 ::A :=Ben: Leo's friend -- I think he will make a safer partner than our sister. How soon 2.3 ::A :=Ben: Good. Draw a check for our part. You can take the night 2.3 ::A :=Leo: Uncle Horace's share. I'd enjoy being a partner -- 2.3 ::A :=Leo: I was only going to say what a great day this was for me and -- 2.3 ::A :=Ben: Alexandra, you have a tender heart. 2.3 ::A :=Regina: He will change his mind. I'll find a way to make him. What's the longest you 2.3 ::A :=Ben: I was about to give Alexandra a message for you. I wanted to tell you that 2.3 ::A :=Regina: -- How can he to go to Chicago? Did a ghost arrive with the money? I don't believe 2.3 ::A :=Horace: It's a great day when you and Ben cross swords. 2.3 ::A :=Horace: and their dirty tricks to make a dime. There must be better ways of getting 2.3 ::A :=Horace: getting rich than cheating niggers on a pound of bacon. Why should I give you the 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: together before, and you know what a ninny I am and how shy. You said you could 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: all right. Horace, you haven't heard a word I've said. 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: But Oscar was in such a good humor when he got home, I didn't 3.1 ::A :=Alexandra: Addie! A party! What for? 3.1 ::A :=Addie: fresh butter, so I made the cakes, and a little elderberry does the stomach good 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: Isn't this nice! A party just for us. Let's play party music, 3.1 ::A :=Addie: Horace, and don't be thinking so much. A glass of elderberry will do more good. 3.1 ::A :=Addie: ain't born in the South unless you're a fool. 3.1 ::A :=Alexandra: Have a cake, Cal. 3.1 ::A :=Cal: I understand. I'm going down to tell a man he give you something he already know 3.1 ::A :=Addie: that elderberry going to give you a headache spell. 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: to give me elderberry wine when I was a little girl. For hiccoughs. You know, I 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: Mama laughing. Mama always laughed. A big party, a lovely dress from Mr. Worth 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: Mama always laughed. A big party, a lovely dress from Mr. Worth in Paris, France, 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: on their way to come, and I was such a ninny, hiccoughing away. You know, that 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: didn't like them because they kept a store, and he said that was old-fashioned 3.1 ::A :=Alexandra: I mean, by ourselves. Couldn't we find a way to go -- 3.1 ::A :=Horace: know what you mean. We'll try to find a way. I promise you, darling. 3.1 ::A :=Addie: Rest a bit, Miss Birdie. You get talking like 3.1 ::A :=Addie: You get talking like this you'll get a headache and -- 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: I've never had a headache in my life. You know as well as 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: You know as well as I do. I never had a headache, Zan. That's a lie they tell for 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: I never had a headache, Zan. That's a lie they tell for me. I drink. All by myself, 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: to hide it, they say, "Birdie's got a headache again" -- 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: In twenty-two years I haven't had a whole day of happiness. Oh, a little, like 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: had a whole day of happiness. Oh, a little, like today with you all. But never 3.1 ::A :=Birdie: like today with you all. But never a single, whole day. I say to myself, if 3.1 ::A :=Alexandra: I guess we were all trying to make a happy day. You know, we sit around and 3.1 ::A :=Addie: time I ever heard Miss Birdie say a word. Maybe it's good for her. I'm just 3.1 ::A :=Horace: that. I'm trying, but I've only got a little time left. She can even hate me 3.1 ::A :=Horace: I'm going to have Sol Fowler make me a nice will. They'll make trouble, but you 3.1 ::A :=Addie: Don't you do that, Mr. Horace. A nigger woman in a white man's will! I'd 3.1 ::A :=Addie: do that, Mr. Horace. A nigger woman in a white man's will! I'd never get it noh 3.1 ::A :=Cal: on my coat. Every time I ever told a lie in my whole life, I wipe my hands right 3.1 ::A :=Cal: And Mr. Leo say he got to leave a little early cause he got something to 3.2 ::A :=Horace: Wednesday it was, because I had made a decision -- 3.2 ::A :=Horace: interrupt me again. Because I had made a decision, I sent for the box. The bonds 3.2 ::A :=Regina: days to do anything? This will make a fine story. 3.2 ::A :=Regina: A fine story to hold over their heads. How 3.2 ::A :=Horace: going to let them keep the bonds -- as a loan from you. An eighty-eight-thousand-dollar 3.2 ::A :=Horace: was coming to that. I am going to make a new will, Regina, leaving you eighty-eight 3.2 ::A :=Horace: brothers have borrowed your share for a little while. After my death I advise you 3.2 ::A :=Horace: do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital joke on you. And that will be the 3.2 ::A :=Regina: I thought -- But I was wrong. You were a small-town clerk then. You haven't cha 3.2 ::A :=Regina: it wasn't what I wanted. It took me a little while to find out I had made a mistake. 3.2 ::A :=Regina: a little while to find out I had made a mistake. As for you -- I don't know. It 3.2 ::A :=Regina: understand that anybody could be such a soft fool. That was when I began to despise 3.3 ::A :=Leo: Hello. Never saw any use ringing a bell when a door was open. If you are going 3.3 ::A :=Leo: Never saw any use ringing a bell when a door was open. If you are going to ring 3.3 ::A :=Leo: was open. If you are going to ring a bell, then somebody should answer it. Aunt 3.3 ::A :=Oscar: Addie just told us it was a sudden attack, and -- 3.3 ::A :=Oscar: That might not mean a thing -- 3.3 ::A :=Leo: with him. I guess that don't mean a thing either. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: it again. Now sit down and shut up for a minute. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: it since Wednesday. Yet he hasn't said a word to us. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: some reason he knows, but he don't say a word. 3.3 ::A :=Regina: He's had a bad attack. 3.3 ::A :=Regina: that he had lent them to you as a present from me -- to my brothers. He said 3.3 ::A :=Regina: It's not a pleasant story. I feel bad, Ben, naturally. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: I'm not. We'll have it all out on a more appropriate day. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: clip them, too? You'd get farther with a smile, Regina. I'm a soft man for a woman's 3.3 ::A :=Ben: get farther with a smile, Regina. I'm a soft man for a woman's smile. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: a smile, Regina. I'm a soft man for a woman's smile. 3.3 ::A :=Ben: Greedy! What a greedy girl you are! You want so much of 3.3 ::A :=Ben: For how many years have I told you a good-looking woman gets more by being soft 3.4 ::A :=Oscar: Certainly, I -- What a strange thing to ask! I -- 3.4 ::A :=Regina: Deny you heads off. You couldn't find a jury that wouldn't weep for a woman whose 3.4 ::A :=Regina: find a jury that wouldn't weep for a woman whose brothers steal from her. And 3.4 ::A :=Regina: want to be involved in your scandal. A respectable firm like Marshall and Company. 3.4 ::A :=Ben: You have a suggestion? 3.4 ::A :=Regina: You're a good loser, Ben. I like that. 3.4 ::A :=Ben: sour people. I think that comes from a good digestion. Then, too, one loses today 3.4 ::A :=Ben: I agree with Alexandra. What is a man in a wheel chair doing on a staircase? 3.4 ::A :=Ben: agree with Alexandra. What is a man in a wheel chair doing on a staircase? I ask 3.4 ::A :=Ben: is a man in a wheel chair doing on a staircase? I ask myself that. 3.4 ::A :=Ben: Alexandra, you're turning out to be a right interesting girl. Well, good night 3.4 ::A :=Regina: strange. Not like yourself. You've had a bad shock today. I know that. And you loved 3.4 ::A :=Addie: He says Dr. Sloan will be coming in a few minutes. 3.4 ::A :=Regina: We'll go in a few weeks. A few weeks! That means two 3.4 ::A :=Regina: We'll go in a few weeks. A few weeks! That means two or three Saturdays, 3.4 ::A :=Regina: it tomorrow. The morning will make a difference. 3.4 ::A :=Regina: you? Well, you'll change your mind in a few days. 1.2 ::ABLE :=Birdie: But Horace won't be able to move around. You know what the doctor 2.3 ::ABLE :=Oscar: true, son? Ain't it true you might be able to help your own kinfolks? 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: and cultured and I've told him all about how my mama and papa used to go to 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: Never mind about the album. Miss Birdie has changed 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: leave the dinner table and go running about like a child? 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: he wanted to see my album. I told him about the time Mama met Wagner, and Mrs. 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: people like music and like to talk about it. That's all I was doing. 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Regina: Oh, yes. Even down here we read about Mrs. Marshall in the society pages 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Marshall: I dare say. She moves about a great deal. And all of you are part 1.1 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: Marshall, I didn't mean to chatter so about it. Really I -- You must excuse me. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: Oh, Regina, you can't leave here. What about Horace? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: Don't look so scared about everything, Birdie I'm going to live 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: There's plenty of time to worry about Horace when he comes home. If he ever 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: place is for sale. We might think about buying it. Make a nice change. Do you 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: of paint -- Papa was very particular about the paint -- and the lawn was so smooth 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: You are serious about moving to Chicago? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: But what about Alexandra? She's seventeen. Old enough 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: seventeen. Old enough to be thinking about marrying. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: I've always wanted to speak about it, Oscar. 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: What are you chattering about? 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: I was talking about Lionnet and -- and about your shooting 1.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: I was talking about Lionnet and -- and about your shooting -- 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: Well, I don't know. I don't know about these things. It would seem that if 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: third. But then again, there's no law about it, is there? I should think that if 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: money from him or talk quite so big about what you want. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: Oh, it's too far away. We'll talk about it in a few years. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: I want to talk about it now. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: assure Oscar that you will think about it very seriously. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: well. I assure Oscar that I will think about it seriously. 1.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: You have my word that I will think about it. Now do leave me alone. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: to Baltimore tomorrow, so let's talk about that. You'll be glad to have Papa home 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: I don't understand about my going, Aunt Birdie. But anyway, 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: Papa will be home again. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. Really 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: That's not what I'm worried about. Zan -- 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: It's about Leo -- 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: Don't worry about the horses. I'm sorry I told you. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: I am not worrying about the horses. I am worrying about you. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: about the horses. I am worrying about you. You are not going to marry Leo. 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. I've never even thought about it -- 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: But they have thought about it. Zan, I couldn't stand to think 1.4 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: it. Zan, I couldn't stand to think about such a thing. You and -- 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Cal: sir, Mr. Oscar. I didn't say nothing about nothing. It was Simon who told me and 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Leo: I'll tell her. She'll act all right about it. 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Regina: from Alexandra? What is so strange about people arriving late? He has that cousin 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Regina: that you and Oscar are so worried about them. 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Regina: is that it? I thought you were worried about Horace's health. 2.1 ::ABOUT :=Regina: Did he die? You're always remembering about people dying. Now I intend to eat my 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Addie: Mr. Horace. I've just been worried about you. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: I'll hold it. It mustn't break. Now, about the stuff outside. Papa must have his 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: back and don't talk much and remember about his medicine, Addie -- 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: I've heard about it. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: What are you talking about? 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: and where's Alexandra? I am so excited about seeing you that I almost forgot about 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: about seeing you that I almost forgot about her. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Leo: and then I'll give you all the news about the bank -- 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: Oh! It's my wrapper. I was so excited about Horace I just rushed out of the house 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: first when I -- when I heard the news about myself -- but after I got used to that, 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: it before I came here. I was thinking about us. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: About us? About you and me? Thinking about 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: About us? About you and me? Thinking about you and 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: About us? About you and me? Thinking about you and me after all these years. You 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: meant to make anything suspicious about it. Zan said you wanted me to come 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: all this crazy talk I've been hearing about Zan and Leo? Zan and Leo marrying? 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: this business I've been writing you about -- 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: But there's no need to talk about it now. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: There is no need to talk about it ever. Not as long as I live. As 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: been here you have not once asked me about -- about my health. Well, I suppose 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: you have not once asked me about -- about my health. Well, I suppose they've 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: understood why people have to talk about this kind of thing. 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: I don't intend to gossip about my sickness. I thought it was only 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: I didn't tell them about my bad conscience. Or about my fancy 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: tell them about my bad conscience. Or about my fancy women. Nor did I tell them 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: It's all my fault. I didn't ask about -- about your illness because I didn't 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: all my fault. I didn't ask about -- about your illness because I didn't want 2.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: I never believe doctors when they talk about -- when they talk like that. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Horace: mill business I've had so many letters about? 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: -- Now you must tell me Horace all about it. Only be quick because he is very 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Horace: them of that? How little people know about each other! But you'll know better 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Horace: each other! But you'll know better about Regina next time, eh, Ben? Now let's 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: Oscar doesn't mind. Not worth fighting about now, eh, Oscar? 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: I've got my son's future to think about. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: What's this all about? 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: or black. Marshall said to me. "What about strikes? That's all we've had in Massachusetts 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: Horace is tired. He's rather talk about it tomorrow -- 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Horace: must do what I think best. We'll talk about it another day. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: We'll talk about it now. Just you and me. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: care of him. We won't have any trouble about that. I'll see you at the store. 2.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: I was about to give Alexandra a message for you. 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Birdie: here I am so happy and yet I think about bad things. That's not right, now, 3.1 ::ABOUT :=Cal: say to me, "What box? What you talking about?" 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: What are you talking about? You haven't seen Ben -- When did you 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: I want to know what you are talking about. 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: on them, and there is nothing I can do about it. Is that right? 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Horace: to see that he's safe. Because I knew about the theft and said nothing. Nor will 3.2 ::ABOUT :=Regina: but it was something. I never thought about it much but if I had I'd have known 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: Uncle Horace knows about the bonds. He knows about them. He's 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: Horace knows about the bonds. He knows about them. He's had the box since Wednesday 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Ben: What the hell are you talking about? 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: I'm telling you he knows about the bonds. Ain't that clear enough 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: You heard me. Uncle Horace knows about the bonds. He's known since Wednes 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: He would have told her about it. Aunt Regina. He would have told 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: No, I don't. Horace told me about the bonds this afternoon. 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Oscar: Well. Well what -- what about them? What -- what could he say? 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Leo: I don't know what you're talking about. What would I -- Why -- 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: He said there was nothing I could do about it. He said the rest of his money would 3.3 ::ABOUT :=Regina: said there was nothing I could do about it as long as he was alive to say he 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: up to Judge Simmes. I shall tell him about Leo. 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: I've forgotten that we ever talked about them. You can draw up the necessary 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: What do you want to talk to me about, Alexandra? 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: want to talk. There's nothing to talk about now. 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: We'll talk about it tomorrow. The morning will make 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Alexandra: And there isn't anything to talk about. I am going away from you. Because 3.4 ::ABOUT :=Regina: You're very serious about it, aren't you? Well, you'll change 3.3 ::ABSOLUTELY :=Oscar: That's ridiculous, Regina, absolutely -- 2.3 ::ACCEPT :=Oscar: the mills are going up. Will Marshall accept the bonds? 2.2 ::ACROSS :=Oscar: Did you come across the square dressed that way? My dear 1.4 ::ACT :=Ben: is so crisp. Have a good time and act like a little lady. 2.1 ::ACT :=Leo: Yes, sir. I'll tell her. She'll act all right about it. 1.1 ::ACTING :=Oscar: I said get yourself in hand. Stop acting like a fool. 1.2 ::ACTING :=Oscar: You have been acting very childish, very excited, all 2.1 ::ACTING :=Oscar: to get. But I can't help thinking he's acting strange. You laugh when I say he could 3.1 ::ACTING :=Cal: down and finish up his work and stop acting like somebody made him Mr. President. 3.4 ::ACTING :=Regina: You're acting very strange. Not like yourself. You've 1.1 ::ADAPT :=Ben: Because the Southern aristocrat can adapt himself to nothing. Too high-tone to 3.4 ::ADD :=Regina: That will be enough. If it isn't, I'll add what's necessary. 1.1 ::ADDIE :=Birdie: to look in my desk drawer and -- My, Addie. What a good supper! Just as good as 1.1 ::ADDIE :=Birdie: to music. Wouldn't that be nice, Addie? Just to sit there and listen and -- 1.1 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: Oh. May I really, Addie? 1.4 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: said I should come? That must mean -- Addie, he must be well. Think of it, he'll 1.4 ::ADDIE :=Regina: me. You're a strange girl, Alexandra. Addie has babied you so much. 1.4 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: I only thought it would be more fun if Addie and I went together. 2.1 ::ADDIE :=Oscar: You do a lot of judging around here, Addie, eh? Judging of your white folks, I 2.1 ::ADDIE :=Regina: Who's downstairs, Addie? Oh, it's you, Oscar. What are you 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: How are you, Addie? How have you been? 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Addie, I bet your coffee's as good as ever. 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: good coffee up north. Is it as good, Addie? 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: Just now and then. I'm the nurse now, Addie. 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: much and remember about his medicine, Addie -- 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: much difference now. Get me a cup, Addie. Funny. They can't make coffee up north. 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: So strong it had to stain the cup. Addie, before I see anybody else, I want 2.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Go on, Addie. Go and say I'm back. 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Addie. 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: Addie! A party! What for? 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: Good cakes, Addie. It's nice here. Just us. Be nice if 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Horace: when you're ready to go. You'll go, Addie? 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Horace: stand firm and Fowler'll do the rest. Addie, I'd like to leave you something for 3.1 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Go away, Addie. 3.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Please. Tell Addie -- The other bottle is upstairs. Addie! 3.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: Addie -- The other bottle is upstairs. Addie! Addie! Come -- 3.2 ::ADDIE :=Horace: The other bottle is upstairs. Addie! Addie! Come -- 3.2 ::ADDIE :=Regina: Horace. Horace. Addie! Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. 3.2 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: Addie! What? 3.3 ::ADDIE :=Leo: should answer it. Aunt Regina. Addie. Where the hell -- Cal! Cal! 3.3 ::ADDIE :=Oscar: Addie just told us it was a sudden attack, 3.4 ::ADDIE :=Regina: up. You go to your room, Alexandra. Addie will bring you something hot. You look 3.4 ::ADDIE :=Alexandra: was trying to tell me. All in one day: Addie said there were people who ate the 1.3 ::ADDITION :=Regina: And in addition to your concerns for me, you do 3.3 ::ADJUSTED :=Ben: way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 1.3 ::ADMIRE :=Ben: I admire you, Regina. And I agree. That's settled 1.2 ::ADMIRED :=Regina: Can't you tell when you're being admired? 1.2 ::ADMIRED :=Birdie: Oscar said I bored Mr. Marshall. But he admired you. He told me so. 3.1 ::ADMIT :=Birdie: Ah, well -- your papa don't like to admit it, but he's been mighty kind to me 3.2 ::ADMIT :=Horace: to talk to Ben and Oscar. They won't admit anything and Ben, I think, will be 3.3 ::ADMIT :=Regina: So you, at least, are willing to admit that the bonds were stolen? 3.3 ::ADMIT :=Ben: I admit no such thing. It's possible that Horace 3.3 ::ADMITTED :=Oscar: You're mighty crazy. Having just admitted -- 3.2 ::ADVISE :=Horace: for a little while. After my death I advise you to talk to Ben and Oscar. They 1.1 ::AFRAID :=Regina: too obvious, Mr. Marshall. I'm afraid they mean that this is the time for 2.1 ::AFRAID :=Oscar: you opened it? Come, Leo, don't be afraid of speaking the truth to me. 3.4 ::AFRAID :=Alexandra: Are you afraid, Mama? 1.3 ::AFTER :=Ben: will want to see our money soon after. Regina, Horace has been in Baltimore 1.3 ::AFTER :=Regina: he did get a larger share. I must look after his interests. It seems only natural 1.3 ::AFTER :=Regina: said all that I am willing to say now. After all, Horace has to give his consent, 2.2 ::AFTER :=Horace: I heard the news about myself -- but after I got used to that, I liked it the 2.2 ::AFTER :=Regina: you and me? Thinking about you and me after all these years. You shall tell me 2.3 ::AFTER :=Horace: so you will not have your millions, after all. 3.1 ::AFTER :=Birdie: But we didn't play together after that night. Oscar said he didn't like 3.1 ::AFTER :=Horace: tell him I want him to come over here after supper, and to bring Mr. Sol Fowler 3.1 ::AFTER :=Cal: He's to come after supper and bring Mr. Sol Fowler, your 3.1 ::AFTER :=Birdie: the way you'll be. And you'll trail after them, just like me, hoping they won't 3.1 ::AFTER :=Cal: good shape and he say you come right after supper to his house and bring Mr. Attorney-at-law 3.1 ::AFTER :=Cal: my whole life, I wipe my hands right after. Can't help doing it. Well, while I'm 3.2 ::AFTER :=Horace: Before you do I want to tell you that after all, we have invested our money in 3.2 ::AFTER :=Horace: your share for a little while. After my death I advise you to talk to Ben 3.4 ::AFTER :=Ben: and me. Ready for us, waiting for us. After all this is just the beginning. There 3.4 ::AFTER :=Regina: Well, you have spirit, after all. I used to think you were all sugar 1.1 ::AFTERNOON :=Marshall: Not at all. We settled everything this afternoon. I have only a few minutes before 3.3 ::AFTERNOON :=Leo: could find him. I been chasing him all afternoon. 3.3 ::AFTERNOON :=Regina: Horace told me about the bonds this afternoon. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Regina: with us, Mr. Marshall, but you'll come again. Any time you like. 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Marshall: Chicago. Do I have to make you promise again? 1.1 ::AGAIN :=Regina: I promise again. 1.2 ::AGAIN :=Birdie: now, but I'd like to see it fixed up again, the way Mama and Papa had it. Every 1.3 ::AGAIN :=Regina: you should only get a third. But then again, there's no law about it, is there? 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Alexandra: well. Think of it, he'll be back home again. We'll bring him home. 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Regina: that. You'll be glad to have Papa home again. 1.4 ::AGAIN :=Alexandra: Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home again. Don't worry about me. I can take care 2.2 ::AGAIN :=Alexandra: Oh, Papa, you feel bad again. I knew you did. Do you want your 2.2 ::AGAIN :=Horace: home for this, to make me feel guilty again? That means you want something. But 2.3 ::AGAIN :=Ben: is better to wait for the sun to rise again. And sometimes, as our mother used 2.3 ::AGAIN :=Oscar: Shut up, Leo! He won't look at them again until September. That gives us five 3.1 ::AGAIN :=Birdie: it, they say, "Birdie's got a headache again" -- 3.2 ::AGAIN :=Regina: the house. Please don't come down here again. 3.2 ::AGAIN :=Horace: Don't interrupt me again. Because I had made a decision, I sent 3.2 ::AGAIN :=Regina: I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again. 3.3 ::AGAIN :=Ben: Put it down. Don't touch it again. Now sit down and shut up for a mi 2.3 ::AGAINST :=Horace: you get around to playing them off against each other. You can save a little 1.4 ::AGE :=Addie: alone? Going by herself? A child that age! Mr. Horace ain't going to like Zan traipsing 1.4 ::AGE :=Regina: think you'd like going alone. At your age it certainly would have delighted me. 1.4 ::AGE :=Leo: Lots of girls get married at Zan's age. Look at Mary Prester and Johanna and 2.1 ::AGE :=Oscar: Wouldn't you think a girl that age could get on a train at one place and 2.1 ::AGE :=Oscar: that's a good sign in a fellow your age. Many great men have made their fortune 3.1 ::AGE :=Horace: her stay innocent, like Birdie at her age. Let her listen now. Let her see everything. 1.1 ::AGO :=Ben: now belongs to us. Twenty years ago we took over their land, their cotton, 1.1 ::AGO :=Marshall: if you hadn't convinced me six months ago. You want the mill here, and I want it 2.3 ::AGO :=Ben: me the things I told you six months ago. 3.2 ::AGO :=Horace: in that box very often, but three days ago, on Wednesday it was, because I had made 3.4 ::AGO :=Oscar: way when upstairs not five minutes ago -- 1.3 ::AGREE :=Regina: You agree that he will come home if she asks 1.3 ::AGREE :=Ben: I admire you, Regina. And I agree. That's settled now and -- 3.4 ::AGREE :=Ben: I say to myself, things may change. I agree with Alexandra. What is a man in a 2.3 ::AGREED :=Regina: know that in the last few days Ben has agreed to give us -- you, I mean -- a much 3.2 ::AGREED :=Regina: We had agreed that you were to stay in your part 1.1 ::AH :=Ben: It still brings us in a fair crop. Ah, they were great days for those people 2.1 ::AH :=Leo: That's it. He wouldn't even miss them. Ah, well -- 3.1 ::AH :=Birdie: He wasn't poking fun. He meant it. Ah, well -- your papa don't like to admit 3.3 ::AH :=Ben: You don't feel well. Ah -- 3.3 ::AH :=Regina: I'm glad to know that. Ah, I had greater hopes -- 3.4 ::AH :=Regina: do, write me. I will be in Chicago. Ah, Ben, if Papa had only left me his mo 3.1 ::AILMENT'S :=Addie: style in what you get. One year an ailment's stylish and the next year it a 1.1 ::AIN'T :=Cal: No, smart lady, I ain't. Miss Regina told me to get out that 1.1 ::AIN'T :=Ben: am trying to say a plain thing. A man ain't only in business for what he can get 1.3 ::AIN'T :=Ben: my sister, then by my brother. And I ain't a man who likes being attacked. I can't 1.4 ::AIN'T :=Addie: herself? A child that age! Mr. Horace ain't going to like Zan traipsing up there 1.4 ::AIN'T :=Addie: Your mama's waiting for you, and she ain't nobody to keep waiting. 2.1 ::AIN'T :=Addie: Miss Regina ain't down yet. 2.1 ::AIN'T :=Cal: You ain't out shooting this morning, Mr. Osc 2.1 ::AIN'T :=Cal: in town a Jesus-party. Most of 'em ain't had no meat since the cotton picking 2.1 ::AIN'T :=Ben: for me. My first was bad. Celia ain't the cook she used to be. Too old to 2.2 ::AIN'T :=Addie: carry your own valises? Since when I ain't old enough to hold a bottle of medicine? 2.2 ::AIN'T :=Addie: It ain't right for you to have coffee? It will 2.2 ::AIN'T :=Addie: going to start out of a building that ain't even up yet. 2.2 ::AIN'T :=Addie: Now you ain't to get excited. You're going to be 2.3 ::AIN'T :=Ben: for eight a week myself." Why, there ain't a mountain white or a town nigger but 2.3 ::AIN'T :=Oscar: might better say, Leo could do for us. Ain't that true, son? Ain't it true you might 2.3 ::AIN'T :=Oscar: could do for us. Ain't that true, son? Ain't it true you might be able to help your 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Addie: believing what Mr. Ben orders. There ain't been so much talk around here since 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Addie: You ain't born in the South unless you're a 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Cal: No, sir. I ain't going to say I understand. I'm going 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Cal: for the box coming all right. I ain't going to understand it, but I'm going 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Addie: ailment's stylish and the next year it ain't. 3.1 ::AIN'T :=Addie: them eat it. Sometimes I think it ain't right to stand and watch them do i 3.3 ::AIN'T :=Cal: No, I ain't seen 'em. I ain't got time to answer 3.3 ::AIN'T :=Cal: No, I ain't seen 'em. I ain't got time to answer you. I got to get 3.3 ::AIN'T :=Leo: telling you he knows about the bonds. Ain't that clear enough -- 1.4 ::ALARMIST :=Regina: there any longer and listen to those alarmist doctors. You are doing this entirely 1.1 ::ALBUM :=Birdie: the left drawer, and bring my music album right away. Mr. Marshall is very anxious 1.1 ::ALBUM :=Birdie: let any of the things drop out of the album and to bring it right in here when 1.1 ::ALBUM :=Birdie: I was just sending Simon for my music album. 1.1 ::ALBUM :=Oscar: Never mind about the album. Miss Birdie has changed her mind. 1.1 ::ALBUM :=Birdie: most specially he wanted to see my album. I told him about the time Mama met 1.1 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: he would like you to play for him, Alexandra. 1.1 ::ALEXANDRA :=Oscar: will drive you to the depot. Leo! Alexandra! You will drive Mr. Marshall d 1.2 ::ALEXANDRA :=Oscar: The children, Alexandra and Leo, make a very handsome couple, 1.2 ::ALEXANDRA :=Oscar: But what about Alexandra? She's seventeen. Old enough to 1.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: I will send Alexandra to Baltimore. She will ask him 1.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: never marry. So my money will go to Alexandra and Leo. They may even marry some 1.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Birdie: I -- Alexandra is only seventeen. She -- 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Alexandra? Are you back? 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: You are going alone, Alexandra. 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: delighted me. You're a strange girl, Alexandra. Addie has babied you so much. 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: You couldn't do what I tell you to do, Alexandra? 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: I must go and start getting Alexandra ready now. Why don't you all go 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: night, everybody. Have a nice trip, Alexandra. The food on the train is very 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Come on, Alexandra. 2.1 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Oh, nothing has happened. Alexandra just hasn't got sense enough to 2.1 ::ALEXANDRA :=Oscar: you going to make a fit husband for Alexandra. 2.1 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: started. Didn't I have a letter from Alexandra? What is so strange about people 2.2 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: What did happen to you and where's Alexandra? I am so excited about seeing you 2.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: Alexandra, you have a tender heart. 2.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: see. Everything is over. Don't worry. Alexandra, I want you to tell your mother 2.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Mind your business, Alexandra. How much longer can you wait for 2.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: I was about to give Alexandra a message for you. I wanted to 3.3 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: said the rest of his money would go to Alexandra. That is all. 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Oscar: What? Alexandra -- 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: I know what you feel, Alexandra, but please try to control you 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: some people cry. It's better to cry, Alexandra. 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: get over shocks like this. Please go, Alexandra. 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: things may change. I agree with Alexandra. What is a man in a wheel chair 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Ben: Alexandra, you're turning out to be a right 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: What do you want to talk to me about, Alexandra? 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: for me, too. Time heals most wounds, Alexandra. You're young, you shall have all 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: out and lock up. You go to your room, Alexandra. Addie will bring you something 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: You're very upset, Alexandra. 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Alexandra, I've come to the end of my rope. 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: I don't want us to be bad friends, Alexandra. Would you like to come and talk 3.4 ::ALEXANDRA :=Regina: Would you like to come and talk to me, Alexandra? Would you -- would you like to 1.4 ::ALEXANDRA'S :=Regina: Go upstairs and lay out Alexandra's things. 2.1 ::ALEXANDRA'S :=Oscar: as the rest. You might have yours and Alexandra's. I'm not so easily licked. 2.3 ::ALIVE :=Regina: You hate to think that I'm going to be alive and have what I want. 3.3 ::ALIVE :=Regina: I could do about it as long as he was alive to say he had lent you the bonds. 1.1 ::ALL :=Cal: make the best frozen fruit cream in all the South. 1.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: and cultured and I've told him all about how my mama and papa used to go 1.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: Europe for the music -- Imagine going all the way to Europe just to listen to music. 1.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: and like to talk about it. That's all I was doing. 1.1 ::ALL :=Marshall: a better port. Well, I suppose it is all true, Mrs. Giddens. 1.1 ::ALL :=Marshall: Do all of you live here together? 1.1 ::ALL :=Marshall: say. She moves about a great deal. And all of you are part of the same business? 1.1 ::ALL :=Marshall: Not at all. We settled everything this afternoon. 1.1 ::ALL :=Ben: pick the cotton right. Money isn't all. Not by three shots. 1.2 ::ALL :=Regina: lonely man. Imagine being lonely with all that money. I don't think he likes his 1.2 ::ALL :=Regina: and high- tone. But that fits in all right. Her being social, I mean. She 1.2 ::ALL :=Regina: we mustn't forget it. We shall plan all the things we'd like to have and then 1.2 ::ALL :=Regina: been licking the cream. Now we must all have a drink to celebrate. 1.2 ::ALL :=Ben: beginning to look as if the deal's all set. I may not be a subtle man -- but 1.2 ::ALL :=Ben: I already had his signature. But we've all done business with men whose word over 1.2 ::ALL :=Ben: be to see the bricks grow. But we are all entitled to a little side indulgence 1.2 ::ALL :=Birdie: paint -- and the lawn was so smooth all the way down to the river, with the trims 1.2 ::ALL :=Ben: we'll come and visit you and meet all the great and be proud you are our s 1.2 ::ALL :=Oscar: acting very childish, very excited, all evening. 1.2 ::ALL :=Oscar: Very well. We've all heard you. That's enough now. 1.3 ::ALL :=Regina: All right. 1.3 ::ALL :=Oscar: you. For thirty-five years I've done all the things you didn't want to do. And 1.3 ::ALL :=Ben: My, my. I am being attacked tonight on all sides. First by my sister, then by my 1.3 ::ALL :=Ben: here, a little less goes there -- it's all in the family. And it will stay in the 1.3 ::ALL :=Oscar: That's all past history -- 1.3 ::ALL :=Regina: Oh, I know. And I know all young men are wild. I'm only mentioning 1.3 ::ALL :=Ben: All right, so there are. But please assure 1.3 ::ALL :=Regina: you shall put me in one. I have said all that I am willing to say now. After all, 1.3 ::ALL :=Regina: that I am willing to say now. After all, Horace has to give his consent, too 1.4 ::ALL :=Leo: England. Lots of men in the North send all the way to England for their stuff. 1.4 ::ALL :=Regina: Alexandra ready now. Why don't you all go home? 1.4 ::ALL :=Alexandra: All right. Good night, Aunt Birdie. Good 2.1 ::ALL :=Oscar: at this time of the morning. Blinds all closed. Where's Miss Regina? It's cold 2.1 ::ALL :=Addie: disgrace to let a baby like that go all the way alone to bring home a sick man 2.1 ::ALL :=Addie: I'm tired. I been up all night watching for them. 2.1 ::ALL :=Oscar: with serious things. Outside women are all right in their place, but now isn't their 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: Yes, sir. I'll tell her. She'll act all right about it. 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: sitting right in his safe deposit box. All he's got to do is open the box. 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: open the box and take them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: be. The things in that box! There's all those bonds, looking mighty fine. Then 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: -- well, took the box out. Then they all asked me if I wanted to see, too. So 2.1 ::ALL :=Leo: them for him. Imagine not looking at all that. You can bet if I had the bonds, 2.1 ::ALL :=Regina: so early in the morning, aren't you all? 2.1 ::ALL :=Ben: Eighty-one is a good time for us all, eh? What do you think has really happened 2.2 ::ALL :=Addie: I'm all right, Mr. Horace. I've just been worried 2.2 ::ALL :=Addie: to hold a bottle of medicine? You feel all right, Mr. Horace? 2.2 ::ALL :=Alexandra: He doesn't feel all right. He just says that. The trip was 2.2 ::ALL :=Addie: They're all in there eating breakfast. 2.2 ::ALL :=Alexandra: Oh, are they all here? Why do they always have to be here? 2.2 ::ALL :=Alexandra: Will you be all right, Papa? 2.2 ::ALL :=Addie: I don't know. All I know is big things are going on. Everybody 2.2 ::ALL :=Addie: be high-tone rich. Big rich. You too. All because smoke's going to start out of 2.2 ::ALL :=Ben: Well, sir, you had us all mighty worried. 2.2 ::ALL :=Horace: it's just as if I had never been away. All of you here -- 2.2 ::ALL :=Leo: Uncle Horace, and then I'll give you all the news about the bank -- 2.2 ::ALL :=Regina: but there was. Five months lying there all by yourself, no kinfolks, no friends. 2.2 ::ALL :=Regina: me? Thinking about you and me after all these years. You shall tell me everything 2.2 ::ALL :=Horace: I'm saying all the wrong things as usual. Let's try 2.2 ::ALL :=Horace: so much more time. Regina, what's all this crazy talk I've been hearing about 2.2 ::ALL :=Regina: simply a way of keeping Oscar quiet in all this business I've been writing you about 2.2 ::ALL :=Horace: wanting so much not to fight, and then all of a sudden there we were. I got hurt 2.2 ::ALL :=Regina: It's all my fault. I didn't ask about -- about 2.2 ::ALL :=Regina: to me. It's very important to all of us. Important to your beloved daughter. 2.3 ::ALL :=Regina: week -- Now you must tell me Horace all about it. Only be quick because he is 2.3 ::ALL :=Regina: your news will be better for him than all the medicine in the world. 2.3 ::ALL :=Horace: I know all this. 2.3 ::ALL :=Regina: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me. You feel all right now? 2.3 ::ALL :=Horace: Yes. You wrote me. I know all that. 2.3 ::ALL :=Regina: What's this all about? 2.3 ::ALL :=Ben: to me. "What about strikes? That's all we've had in Massachusetts for the last 2.3 ::ALL :=Horace: How are all the ladies in Mobile? Whatever made you 2.3 ::ALL :=Horace: I don't know them all myself. Let's leave it at that. 2.3 ::ALL :=Oscar: to be sure he'll get something out of all this. 2.3 ::ALL :=Horace: you will not have your millions, after all. 3.1 ::ALL :=Alexandra: It's too bad it's been raining all day, Papa. But you can to out in the 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: me here to supper. I had never seen all the Hubbards together before, and you 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: play with you. I was obliged to you, all right, all right. Horace, you haven't 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: you. I was obliged to you, all right, all right. Horace, you haven't heard a word 3.1 ::ALL :=Alexandra: It came. It certainly came all right. 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: it, but he's been mighty kind to me all these years. Often he'd step in when 3.1 ::ALL :=Horace: All right. Now you walk yourself down to 3.1 ::ALL :=Horace: him for bringing the box, it arrived all right. 3.1 ::ALL :=Cal: to say you obliged for the box coming all right. I ain't going to understand it, 3.1 ::ALL :=Horace: No, no. I'm all right, darling. 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: hiccoughs." And so she had. They were all gone. 3.1 ::ALL :=Addie: are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: Oscar. Who would have thought -- You all want to know something? Well, I don't 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: a lie they tell for me. I drink. All by myself, in my own room, by myself, 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: you'll just be like me. They'll do all the same things to you. You know what? 3.1 ::ALL :=Birdie: Oh, a little, like today with you all. But never a single, whole day. I say 3.1 ::ALL :=Alexandra: I guess we were all trying to make a happy day. You know, 3.1 ::ALL :=Cal: he brought the box -- But he took it all right. Some men take everything easy 3.2 ::ALL :=Horace: you do I want to tell you that after all, we have invested our money in Hubbard 3.2 ::ALL :=Regina: lend them the bonds and let them keep all the profit they make on them, and there 3.2 ::ALL :=Horace: to do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital joke on you. And that will 3.2 ::ALL :=Regina: way people usually mean. Lonely for all the things I wasn't going to get. Everybody 3.3 ::ALL :=Leo: you could find him. I been chasing him all afternoon. 3.3 ::ALL :=Leo: Papa, I've been looking all over town for you and Uncle Ben -- 3.3 ::ALL :=Oscar: But he was all right -- 3.3 ::ALL :=Ben: If she doesn't know, it may work out all right. If she does know, you're to say 3.3 ::ALL :=Leo: But all he has to do is say he didn't lend them 3.3 ::ALL :=Regina: money would go to Alexandra. That is all. 3.3 ::ALL :=Ben: You shouldn't feel that way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It isn't 3.3 ::ALL :=Ben: that way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 3.3 ::ALL :=Ben: other business. I'm not. We'll have it all out on a more appropriate day. 3.3 ::ALL :=Regina: get what I want I am going to put all three of you in jail. 3.3 ::ALL :=Ben: you like, Regina. And now we can stop all this and say good-bye to you. It's his 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: Please go and lie down, my dear. We all need time to get over shocks like this. 3.4 ::ALL :=Oscar: And what proof? What proof of all this -- 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: aren't as smart as they used to be. All right. I take it that's settled and I 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: No, he hasn't. All right. Now, Leo, I have forgotten that 3.4 ::ALL :=Ben: Ready for us, waiting for us. After all this is just the beginning. There are 3.4 ::ALL :=Ben: like this throughout the country. All their names aren't Hubbard, but they 3.4 ::ALL :=Ben: names aren't Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards and they will own this country 3.4 ::ALL :=Ben: interesting girl. Well, good night all. 3.4 ::ALL :=Alexandra: I knew. We all knew. 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: You're young, you shall have all the things I wanted. I'll make the world 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: Be good for you to get away from all this. 3.4 ::ALL :=Alexandra: I mean what I say. With all my heart. 3.4 ::ALL :=Alexandra: what Papa was trying to tell me. All in one day: Addie said there were people 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: Well, you have spirit, after all. I used to think you were all sugar water. 3.4 ::ALL :=Regina: after all. I used to think you were all sugar water. We don't have to be bad 1.2 ::ALLOW :=Ben: count the chickens. Well, God would allow us a little daydreaming. Good for the 2.2 ::ALLOWING :=Regina: explain later. I have no intention of allowing any such arrangement. It was simply 1.3 ::ALLOWS :=Oscar: benefits that our local position allows us to manage. Ben means that two hundred 2.3 ::ALMIGHTY :=Oscar: Nothing. You done your almighty best. Nobody could blame you if 1.1 ::ALMOST :=Ben: Well, sir, the war ends. Lionnet is almost ruined, and the sons finish ruining 1.4 ::ALMOST :=Oscar: She'd better learn now. She's almost old enough to get married. Eh, so 2.2 ::ALMOST :=Regina: am so excited about seeing you that I almost forgot about her. 2.2 ::ALMOST :=Regina: It sounds almost like a holiday. 3.2 ::ALMOST :=Regina: As for you -- I don't know. It was almost as if I couldn't stand the kind of 1.3 ::ALONE :=Regina: I will think about it. Now do leave me alone. 1.4 ::ALONE :=Regina: You are going alone, Alexandra. 1.4 ::ALONE :=Addie: Going alone? Going by herself? A child that age! 1.4 ::ALONE :=Regina: pack. I should think you'd like going alone. At your age it certainly would have 1.4 ::ALONE :=Regina: She is going alone. She is getting old enough to take 1.4 ::ALONE :=Alexandra: couldn't go, and that I couldn't go alone. 2.1 ::ALONE :=Addie: to let a baby like that go all the way alone to bring home a sick man without - 2.1 ::ALONE :=Regina: it very pleasant to have breakfast alone. I hate chattering before I've had 2.3 ::ALONE :=Horace: I don't feel well. Please leave me alone now. 1.4 ::ALONG :=Addie: He'd expect me to be along -- 1.4 ::ALONG :=Oscar: Come along. 2.1 ::ALONG :=Leo: Aunt Regina yet, either. Oh, he'll go along. It's too good a thing. Why wouldn't 2.1 ::ALONG :=Regina: have stopped to see him. They'll be along today some time, very flattered that 2.1 ::ALONG :=Regina: you haven't had your breakfast. Come along. 2.2 ::ALONG :=Horace: things as usual. Let's try to get along better. There isn't so much more time. 3.4 ::ALONG :=Ben: own this country some day. We'll get along. 1.2 ::ALREADY :=Ben: those who invent what they need. I already had his signature. But we've all 2.1 ::ALREADY :=Oscar: care who gets my share? I been shaved already. Serve Ben right if he had to give 3.1 ::ALREADY :=Cal: to tell a man he give you something he already know he give you, and you say "u 3.3 ::ALREADY :=Ben: Horace has already clipped your wings and very wittily. 1.3 ::ALSO :=Regina: Has it occurred to you that Horace is also a good businessman? 2.1 ::ALSO :=Oscar: You also got to stop with that woman in Mobile. 2.1 ::ALSO :=Oscar: Also, you got to start working harder at 3.4 ::ALSO :=Regina: by that time you'll be ruined. I shall also tell my story to Mr. Marshall, who likes 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Birdie: I just don't believe it. You always talk like that when I'm having a nice 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Ben: But we are a very close family. We've always wanted it that way. 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Oscar: My brother always says that it's folks like us who have 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Marshall: Really? Well, I always thought it was a great deal. 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Ben: That's to prove that the Southerner is always still on his feet for the last drink. 1.1 ::ALWAYS :=Alexandra: But Leo always -- 1.2 ::ALWAYS :=Regina: I'm going to live in Chicago. I've always wanted to. And now there'll be plenty 1.2 ::ALWAYS :=Regina: Birdie, millions. You know what I've always said when people told me we were rich? 1.2 ::ALWAYS :=Birdie: I've always wanted to speak about it, Oscar. 1.3 ::ALWAYS :=Ben: Certainly. He is a shrewd trader. Always has been. The bank is proof of th 1.4 ::ALWAYS :=Leo: those fine clothes he had? You can always spot clothes made in a good place. 1.4 ::ALWAYS :=Alexandra: had to wait until they cooled off. He always beats the horses as if -- 2.1 ::ALWAYS :=Oscar: are. Is everything in this fancy house always late? 2.1 ::ALWAYS :=Oscar: to help other people. But that's not always the way of happens. And so sometimes 2.1 ::ALWAYS :=Regina: Did he die? You're always remembering about people dying. Now 2.2 ::ALWAYS :=Alexandra: Oh, are they all here? Why do they always have to be here? I was hoping Papa 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Ben: been telling you for years. How I've always said that every one of us little Southern 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Leo: levees high enough. Like the niggers always say: a man born of a woman can't build 2.3 ::ALWAYS :=Oscar: to worry. She'll change his mind. She always has. Maybe. But I don't believe it. 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Alexandra: here. Just us. Be nice if it could always be this way. 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Birdie: with hiccoughs and Mama laughing. Mama always laughed. A big party, a lovely dress 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Alexandra: I love you. I'll always love you. 3.1 ::ALWAYS :=Horace: to leave you something for yourself. I always wanted to. 3.2 ::ALWAYS :=Regina: I have only contempt for you. I've always had. 3.2 ::ALWAYS :=Regina: and so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again. 1.1 ::AM :=Birdie: What am I doing? I am not doing anything. What 1.1 ::AM :=Birdie: What am I doing? I am not doing anything. What am I doing? 1.1 ::AM :=Birdie: I doing? I am not doing anything. What am I doing? 1.1 ::AM :=Regina: I am so sorry that my husband isn't here to 1.1 ::AM :=Ben: But that isn't the tale I am telling Mr. Marshall. Well, sir, the war 1.1 ::AM :=Ben: I hope not. I hope not. I am trying to make an important point -- for 1.1 ::AM :=Ben: My sister is right. I am a plain man and I am trying to say a plain 1.1 ::AM :=Ben: is right. I am a plain man and I am trying to say a plain thing. A man ain't 1.3 ::AM :=Ben: I am waiting. I am waiting for you to finish. 1.3 ::AM :=Ben: I am waiting. I am waiting for you to finish. You and Birdie. 1.3 ::AM :=Regina: I am sure you could get the third share, the 1.3 ::AM :=Ben: But I do believe that's what you want. Am I right, Regina? 1.3 ::AM :=Regina: Am I? Well, you should know me well enough 1.3 ::AM :=Ben: My, my. I am being attacked tonight on all sides. First 1.3 ::AM :=Regina: put me in one. I have said all that I am willing to say now. After all, Horace 1.4 ::AM :=Birdie: I am not worrying about the horses. I am worrying 1.4 ::AM :=Birdie: I am not worrying about the horses. I am worrying about you. You are not going 1.4 ::AM :=Birdie: you. You are not going to marry Leo. I am not going to let them do that to you 2.1 ::AM :=Oscar: Tell me the truth, Leo. I am not going to be angry with you. Did you 2.1 ::AM :=Oscar: I am not going to be angry with you. Sometimes 2.1 ::AM :=Ben: a natural worrier. Especially when I am getting ready to close a business deal 2.2 ::AM :=Regina: happen to you and where's Alexandra? I am so excited about seeing you that I almost 2.2 ::AM :=Regina: Oh, I am so sorry the trip was hard on you. I didn't 2.3 ::AM :=Horace: would not like to talk to you now. I am very tired, Regina. 2.3 ::AM :=Horace: Leo? Oh, I see. I am beginning to see. Everybody will get 2.3 ::AM :=Ben: you to tell your mother how sorry I am that I had to leave. And don't worry so, 3.1 ::AM :=Birdie: before, and you know what a ninny I am and how shy. You said you could play the 3.1 ::AM :=Birdie: -- I'm sorry I said that. Why, here I am so happy and yet I think about bad things. 3.1 ::AM :=Horace: him too long. No. Leave me where I am. 3.2 ::AM :=Horace: Yes. For once in your life I am tying your hands. There is nothing for 3.2 ::AM :=Horace: I was coming to that. I am going to make a new will, Regina, leaving 3.2 ::AM :=Horace: be around any minute to see what I am going to do. I took good care to see that 3.3 ::AM :=Regina: Yes. And if I don't get what I want I am going to put all three of you in jail 3.4 ::AM :=Regina: As I was saying. Tomorrow morning I am going up to Judge Simmes. I shall tell 3.4 ::AM :=Regina: who must finish what they start. I am one of those people, Oscar. Where was 3.4 ::AM :=Alexandra: there isn't anything to talk about. I am going away from you. Because I want to. 1.1 ::AMERICA :=Marshall: occupy a unique position in America. You live better than the rest of 1.1 ::AN :=Leo: for Uncle Horace at his bank. I keep an eye on things while he's away. 1.1 ::AN :=Ben: Who was not an aristocrat, like Birdie's. 1.1 ::AN :=Ben: not. I hope not. I am trying to make an important point -- for our future business 1.2 ::AN :=Regina: introduce me. It won't take long with an introduction from her. 1.3 ::AN :=Ben: That's cynical. Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth. 1.3 ::AN :=Oscar: That is not an answer. 2.1 ::AN :=Oscar: were looking for any excuse to take an hour off. You got to stop that kind of 2.1 ::AN :=Leo: -- nobody'd believe this -- a piece of an old violin. Not even a whole violin. Just 2.1 ::AN :=Leo: even a whole violin. Just a piece of an old thing, a piece of a violin. 2.3 ::AN :=Regina: What an old faker you are! You know it can't wait. 3.1 ::AN :=Horace: get on his things. I want him to go on an errand. 3.1 ::AN :=Addie: some style in what you get. One year an ailment's stylish and the next year it 3.1 ::AN :=Horace: It's money left from my trip. It's an envelope with your name. It's for you 3.2 ::AN :=Horace: keep the bonds -- as a loan from you. An eighty-eight-thousand-dollar loan; they 3.2 ::AN :=Regina: Addie! Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. Come up here. 3.3 ::AN :=Cal: Mr. Horace he got an attack. He's bad. Miss Regina says you 3.3 ::AN :=Leo: you. I been trying to find you for an hour -- 3.4 ::AN :=Regina: and Company. The deal would be off in an hour. And you know it. Now I don't want 1.1 ::ANCIENT :=Regina: You are boring Mr. Marshall with these ancient family tales. 1.1 ::AND :=Cal: had two helpings frozen fruit cream and she tell that honored guest, she tell 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: for me. He's to look in my desk drawer and -- My, Addie. What a good supper! Just 1.1 ::AND :=Addie: look pretty this evening, Miss Birdie, and young. 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Me, young? Maybe you better find Simon and tell him to do it himself. He's to look 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: to look in my desk, the left drawer, and bring my music album right away. Mr. 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: to see it because of his father and the opera in Chicago. Mr. Marshall is 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: is such a polite man with his manners and very educated and cultured and I've told 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: man with his manners and very educated and cultured and I've told him all about 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: manners and very educated and cultured and I've told him all about how my mama and 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: I've told him all about how my mama and papa used to go to Europe for the music 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: that be nice, Addie? Just to sit there and listen and -- Left drawer, Cal. Tell 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Addie? Just to sit there and listen and -- Left drawer, Cal. Tell him that twice 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: him that twice because he forgets. And tell him not to let any of the things 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: of the things drop out of the album and to bring it right in here when he comes 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Left drawer, Cal, and tell him to bring the blue book and 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: and tell him to bring the blue book and -- 1.1 ::AND :=Oscar: Why do you leave the dinner table and go running about like a child? 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: him about the time Mama met Wagner, and Mrs. Wagner gave her the signed program 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Wagner gave her the signed program and the big picture. Mr. Marshall wants to 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: very much. We had such a nice talk and -- 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: believe it. Some people like music and like to talk about it. That's all I was 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: prefer it to the sound of our horses and the smell of our azaleas. I should like 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: I should like crowds of people, and theaters, and lovely women -- Very lovely 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: like crowds of people, and theaters, and lovely women -- Very lovely women, Mr. 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: Ben lives next door. My brother Oscar and his family live in the next square. 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: say. She moves about a great deal. And all of you are part of the same business? 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: Oscar and me. My sister's good husband is a ba 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: me see? My train will be leaving soon and -- 1.1 ::AND :=Birdie: I had -- I -- I had a little headache and -- 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: have kept together. Kept together and kept what belonged to you. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: aristocrats have not kept together and have not kept what belonged to them. 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: is that you people have been here, and solidly here, for a long time. 1.1 ::AND :=Oscar: And so we have. Since our great-grandfat 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: Oh, they have been made for us. And maybe they are important distinctions. 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: anything but brick houses on a lake, and cotton mills. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: comes these fine gentlemen ride off and leave the cotton, and the women, to 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: ride off and leave the cotton, and the women, to rot. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: war ends. Lionnet is almost ruined, and the sons finish ruining it. And there 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: and the sons finish ruining it. And there were thousands like them. Why? 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: why it's profitable. Our grandfather and our father learned the new ways and learned 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: and our father learned the new ways and learned how to make them pay. They were 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: we took over their land, their cotton, and their daughter. 1.1 ::AND :=Oscar: it's folks like us who have struggled and fought to bring to our land some of the 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: before I must leave for the train. And I insist they be spent with you. 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: And with another glass of port. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: My sister is right. I am a plain man and I am trying to say a plain thing. A man 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: for a silver quarter, as it is for you and me. If it don't give him something here, 1.1 ::AND :=Regina: And so did I, Mr. Marshall. 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: months ago. You want the mill here, and I want it here. It isn't my business 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: To bring the machine to the cotton, and not the cotton to the machine. 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: mine are simple: I want to make money and I believe I'll make it on you. Mind you, 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: follow the teachings of Christ. And now I must leave for my train. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: So I give you the firm of Hubbard Sons and Marshall, Cotton Mills, and to it a long 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: Sons and Marshall, Cotton Mills, and to it a long and prosperous life. 1.1 ::AND :=Ben: Cotton Mills, and to it a long and prosperous life. 1.1 ::AND :=Leo: Uncle Ben lets me drive the horses. And a beautiful pair they are. Come on, 1.1 ::AND :=Alexandra: Uncle Ben, please? I'd like to and -- 1.1 ::AND :=Marshall: You have promised that you would come and let me show you Chicago. Do I have to 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: And there, Birdie, goes the man who has opened 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: Our future. Yours and mine, Ben's and Oscar's, the children 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: Our future. Yours and mine, Ben's and Oscar's, the children -- Our future! 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: the ladies would bow to your manners and the gentlemen to your looks. 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: deal. He said that several times. And once he made fun of her being so social 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: he made fun of her being so social and high- tone. But that fits in all right. 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: in Chicago. I've always wanted to. And now there'll be plenty of money to go 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: we be going to Chicago? I mean, Oscar and Leo and me? 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: to Chicago? I mean, Oscar and Leo and me? 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: tonight. It's a very important night and we mustn't forget it. We shall plan all 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: plan all the things we'd like to have and then we'll really have them. Make a wish, 1.2 ::AND :=Oscar: The children, Alexandra and Leo, make a very handsome couple, Regina. 1.2 ::AND :=Ben: his glass to drink, I closed my eyes and saw the bricks going into place. 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: And I saw a lot more than that. 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: Birdie and I have just been planning what we want. 1.2 ::AND :=Oscar: I think we might take a few trips here and there, eh, Birdie? 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: to see it fixed up again, the way Mama and Papa had it. Every year it used to get 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: was very particular about the paint -- and the lawn was so smooth all the way down 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: the river, with the trims of zinnias and red-feather plush. And the figs and blue 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: of zinnias and red-feather plush. And the figs and blue little plums and the 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: and red-feather plush. And the figs and blue little plums and the scuppernongs 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: And the figs and blue little plums and the scuppernongs -- The organ is still 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: -- The organ is still there and it wouldn't cost much to fix. We could 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: had ever lost their temper at Lionnet, and nobody ever would. Papa would never let 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: I'm going to Chicago. And when I'm settled there and know the right 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: to Chicago. And when I'm settled there and know the right people and the right things 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: there and know the right people and the right things to buy -- because I 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: don't now -- I shall go to Paris and buy them. I'm going to leave you and 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: and buy them. I'm going to leave you and Oscar to count the bricks. 1.2 ::AND :=Ben: She is going to see the great world and leave us in the little one. Well, we'll 1.2 ::AND :=Ben: us in the little one. Well, we'll come and visit you and meet all the great and 1.2 ::AND :=Ben: one. Well, we'll come and visit you and meet all the great and be proud you are 1.2 ::AND :=Ben: and visit you and meet all the great and be proud you are our sister. 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: Certainly. And you won't even have to learn to be subtle, 1.2 ::AND :=Regina: Ben. Stay as you are. You will be rich and the rich don't have to be subtle. 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: And, Oscar, I have one more wish. Just one 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: so much. I don't like to see animals and birds killed just for the killing. You 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: And you never let anybody else shoot, and 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: And you never let anybody else shoot, and the niggers need it so much to keep from 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: I was talking about Lionnet and -- and about your shooting -- 1.2 ::AND :=Birdie: I was talking about Lionnet and -- and about your shooting -- 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: I am waiting for you to finish. You and Birdie. Four conversations are three 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: are three too many. I said that I had, and I do, estimate the profits very high 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: the profits very high -- for myself, and Oscar, of course. 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: And what does that mean? 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: mind you, we will put up two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars besides 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: to manage. Ben means that two hundred and twenty- five thousand dollars is a lot 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: I know the terms and I know it's a lot of money. 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: has written to Horace, I have written, and you have written. He answers. But he 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: explained it to him in great detail, and told him the urgency. Still he never 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: Regina. Naturally, you are our sister and we want you to benefit from anything 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: And in addition to your concerns for me, 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: that would give you a strange partner. And strange partners sometimes want a great 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: do that. We would like to have you in and you would like to come in. 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: contracts will be signed this week, and Marshall will want to see our money soon 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: that you've written him to come home, and that he hasn't come. 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: third of the money. You put up a third and you get a third. What else could he 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: And where would the larger share come fr 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: came home. Horace is a very sick man. And even if you don't care how sick he is, 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: say that she wants him to come home, and that I want him to come home. 1.3 ::AND :=Birdie: she wants him here, but he's sick and maybe he's happy where he is. 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: him to, if she says that I miss him and want him -- 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: I admire you, Regina. And I agree. That's settled now and -- 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: And I agree. That's settled now and -- 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: chance of that. You're holding us up, and that's not pretty, Regina, not pretty. 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: Regina, not pretty. But we need you, and I don't want to fight. Here's what I'll 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: per cent, instead of the thirty-three and a third he really should get. I'll do 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: get. I'll do that, provided he is home and his money is up within two weeks. How's 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: From me, is it? That's just fine and dandy. That's my reward. For thirty-five 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: all the things you didn't want to do. And this is what I -- 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: by my sister, then by my brother. And I ain't a man who likes being attacked. 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: goes there -- it's all in the family. And it will stay in the family. I'll never 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: So my money will go to Alexandra and Leo. They may even marry some day and 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: and Leo. They may even marry some day and -- 1.3 ::AND :=Birdie: Marry -- Zan and Leo -- 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: to consider. They are first cousins, and -- 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: That isn't unusual. Our grandmother and grandfather were first cousins. 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: And look at us. 1.3 ::AND :=Ben: wise arrangement, for several reasons. And then, Oscar has given up something for 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: he took a little money from the bank and -- 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: Oh, I know. And I know all young men are wild. I'm only 1.3 ::AND :=Regina: My, you're in a bad humor and you shall put me in one. I have said 1.3 ::AND :=Oscar: And I have your word that you will try to 1.4 ::AND :=Leo: Mr. Marshall got off safe and sound. Weren't those fine clothes he 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: Good. And now I have great news for you. You are 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: Go upstairs and lay out Alexandra's things. 1.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: thought it would be more fun if Addie and I went together. 1.4 ::AND :=Leo: at Zan's age. Look at Mary Prester and Johanna and -- 1.4 ::AND :=Leo: age. Look at Mary Prester and Johanna and -- 1.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: that. But you said you couldn't go, and that I couldn't go alone. 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: to tell Papa how much you missed him, and that he must come home now -- for your 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: possible cure for him to come home and be taken care of here. He mustn't stay 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: here. He mustn't stay there any longer and listen to those alarmist doctors. You 1.4 ::AND :=Regina: I must go and start getting Alexandra ready now. Why 1.4 ::AND :=Ben: celery is so crisp. Have a good time and act like a little lady. 1.4 ::AND :=Birdie: stand to think about such a thing. You and -- 1.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: But I'm not going to marry. And I'm certainly not going to marry Leo 1.4 ::AND :=Oscar: Birdie. Birdie, get your hat and coat. 1.4 ::AND :=Addie: on, baby. Your mama's waiting for you, and she ain't nobody to keep waiting. 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: age could get on a train at one place and have sense enough to get off at anot 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: they are arriving on Thursday night, and they haven't come by Friday morning. 2.1 ::AND :=Regina: Oscar, I don't tuck him in his bed and I don't take him out of it. Have some 2.1 ::AND :=Regina: take him out of it. Have some coffee and don't worry so much. 2.1 ::AND :=Cal: Bet you got enough bobwhite and squirrel to give every nigger in town 2.1 ::AND :=Cal: nothing. It was Simon who told me and -- Morning, Mr. Leo. You gentlemen having 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: have a message to stay at the bank and do your work. 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: that woman in Mobile. You're young and I haven't got no objections to outside 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: much as the rest. You might have yours and Alexandra's. I'm not so easily licke 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: wouldn't he want to? He's got plenty and plenty to invest with. He don't even 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: years. Bought them when they were low and just locked them up. 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: Yeah. Just has to open the box and take them out. That's all. Easy as easy 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: next to them is a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- nobody'd believe this -- a piece 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- nobody'd believe this -- a piece of 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: it is, signed with his mother's name, and two old schoolbooks with notes and - 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: and two old schoolbooks with notes and -- 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: keys. It was Joe Horns. He just up and took Manders' keys and, and -- well, 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: He just up and took Manders' keys and, and -- well, took the box out. Then 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: He just up and took Manders' keys and, and -- well, took the box out. Then they 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: I made them close up the box quick and I told them never -- 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: -- but I did make him close it up and put the keys back in Manders' drawer 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: six months when he cuts the coupons, and sometimes Manders even does that for 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: could have a share in the mill, you and me. A fine, big share, too. Well, a man 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: enough. But I haven't got the bonds and Uncle Horace has. And now he can just 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: got the bonds and Uncle Horace has. And now he can just sit back and wait to 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: has. And now he can just sit back and wait to be a millionaire. 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: then. Anyway, this is only April -- and if he doesn't look at them until Fall, 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: around waiting for him to come home and invest his money in something he hasn't 2.1 ::AND :=Oscar: that's not always the way of happens. And so sometimes you got to think of yourself. 2.1 ::AND :=Ben: maybe he never started from Baltimore and never intends to start? 2.1 ::AND :=Regina: some time, very flattered that you and Oscar are so worried about them. 2.1 ::AND :=Ben: getting ready to close a business deal and one of my partners remains silent and 2.1 ::AND :=Ben: and one of my partners remains silent and invisible. 2.1 ::AND :=Ben: of Horace's has been dead for years and, in any case, the train does not go through 2.1 ::AND :=Regina: I intend to eat my breakfast in peace, and read my newspaper. 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: When I was at school three of the boys and myself took a train once and went over 2.1 ::AND :=Leo: the boys and myself took a train once and went over to Baltimore. It was so big 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: worried you were. We couldn't help it and there was no way to send a message. 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: well. The trip was too much for him, and I made him stop and rest -- No, don't 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: too much for him, and I made him stop and rest -- No, don't take that. That's father's 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: have his wheel chair. I'll get that and the valises -- 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: that. The trip was very hard on him, and now he must go right to bed. 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: anybody, that it would be nice for him and quiet. 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: Reeves said not much coffee. Just now and then. I'm the nurse now, Addie. 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: if you didn't look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. Change your linens, get 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: your linens, get out a fresh dress and give your hair a good brushing -- go 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: Papa must take once every four hours. And the bottle only when -- only if he feels 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: bad. Now don't move until I come back and don't talk much and remember about his 2.2 ::AND :=Alexandra: until I come back and don't talk much and remember about his medicine, Addie - 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: Ring for Belle and have her help you and then I'll make 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: Ring for Belle and have her help you and then I'll make you a fresh breakfast 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: And, er And -- well, Zan, she going to marry 2.2 ::AND :=Addie: And, er And -- well, Zan, she going to marry Mr. 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: Go and tell them I'm home. 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: Go on, Addie. Go and say I'm back. 2.2 ::AND :=Oscar: And how you feel? Tip-top, I bet, because 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: Now sit down. What did happen to you and where's Alexandra? I am so excited about 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: feel good, a little weak, I guess, and we stopped over night to rest. Zan's 2.2 ::AND :=Leo: finish my breakfast, Uncle Horace, and then I'll give you all the news about 2.2 ::AND :=Oscar: And what is that costume you have on? 2.2 ::AND :=Birdie: feel better. Plenty of good rest and we'll take such fine care of you. But 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: Why don't you go finish your breakfast and let Horace rest for a minute? 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: You know, Horace, I wanted to come and be with you in the hospital, but I didn't 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: not the way to put it. But there I was and I got kind of used to it, kind of to 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: to it, kind of to like lying there and thinking. I never had much time to think 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: I never had much time to think before. And time's become valuable to me. 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: And here I was thinking you were in pain 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: here I was thinking you were in pain and -- 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: And instead you were having a holiday! A 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: About us? About you and me? Thinking about you and me after all 2.2 ::AND :=Regina: About you and me? Thinking about you and me after all these years. You shall tell 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: to come home. I was so pleased at that and touched it made me feel good. 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: crazy talk I've been hearing about Zan and Leo? Zan and Leo marrying? 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: been hearing about Zan and Leo? Zan and Leo marrying? 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: home wanting so much not to fight, and then all of a sudden there we were. I 2.2 ::AND :=Horace: of a sudden there we were. I got hurt and -- 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: away. How I watched your interests. And I've done very well too. But things can't 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: Only be quick because he is very tired and must go to bed. But I think your news 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: I suppose I have been. And why not? Horace has done Hubbard Sons 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: man, Horace, a lucky man. To dream and to live to get what you've dreamed of. 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: think he was offering you enough, and that the time was getting short and you 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: and that the time was getting short and you could guess how much he needed you 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: And I could guess that he wants to keep control 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: So I did a little bargaining for you and convinced my brothers they weren't the 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: you'd see it. Seventy-five thousand, and that seventy-five thousand will make 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: Water power. Free and plenty of it. 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: than Massachusetts," he says to me, "and that averages eight a week," "Eight 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: Sure. And they'll take less than that when you 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: can save a little money that way, Ben. And make them hate each other just a little 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: South, Marshall. We got good folks and we don't stand for any fancy fooling 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: you made a good deal for yourselves, and for Marshall, too. Your father used to 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: used to say he made the thousands and you boys would make the millions. I think 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: Us? You and me? I don't think so. We've got enough 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: money, Regina. We'll just sit by and watch the boys grow rich. How's everything 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: by the end of the week with the money and contracts. 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: We'll talk about it now. Just you and me. 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: to wait for the sun to rise again. And sometimes, as our mother used to tell 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: good-looking woman to frown. Softness and a smile do more to the heart of men 2.3 ::AND :=Oscar: And plenty who will want a lot for what they 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: would -- would lend him these bonds and he -- 2.3 ::AND :=Oscar: will return the bonds in three months. And we'll have no trouble raising the money 2.3 ::AND :=Leo: now. They're in the safe-deposit box and -- 2.3 ::AND :=Leo: say what a great day this was for me and -- 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: how sorry I am that I had to leave. And don't worry so, my dear. Married folk 2.3 ::AND :=Ben: next week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, I must go now. I'm very 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: It's a great day when you and Ben cross swords. I've been waiting for 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: And so they don't need you, and so you will 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: And so they don't need you, and so you will not have your millions, after 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: to think that I'm going to be alive and have what I want. 2.3 ::AND :=Regina: Because you're going to die and you know you're going to die. 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: life here. I'm sick of your brothers and their dirty tricks to make a dime. There 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: you to spend? You wreck the town, you and your brother, you wreck the town and 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: and your brother, you wreck the town and live on it. Not me. Maybe it's easy for 2.3 ::AND :=Horace: I've done enough. I'll die my own way. And I'll do it without making the world any 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: One and two and three and four. One and two and 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: One and two and three and four. One and two and three 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: One and two and three and four. One and two and three and four. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: One and two and three and four. One and two and three and four. We once played 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: two and three and four. One and two and three and four. We once played together. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: three and four. One and two and three and four. We once played together. Horace. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: We played together. You and me. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Indeed he did. He played the fiddle and very well, too. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: the time we played together, your papa and me. It was the first time Oscar brought 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: seen all the Hubbards together before, and you know what a ninny I am and how shy. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: before, and you know what a ninny I am and how shy. You said you could play the 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: You said you could play the fiddle and you'd be much obliged if I'd play with 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: the fresh butter, so I made the cakes, and a little elderberry does the stomach 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: Come over here, Mr. Horace, and don't be thinking so much. A glass of 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Quiet and restful. 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: smoke'll be pushing out the chimneys and by church time that Sunday every human 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: made him nervous. He said he just sat and waited for the next note. He wasn't poking 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: step in when somebody said something and once -- Once he stopped Oscar from -- 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: I said that. Why, here I am so happy and yet I think about bad things. That's 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: there but Mr. Manders, Mr. Joe Horns, and Mr. Leo -- 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: Wednesday. I opened the door to him and he say, "Hello, Cal, coming on to summer 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: something he already know he give you, and you say "understand." 3.1 ::AND :=Horace: And tell him I want him to come over here 3.1 ::AND :=Horace: him to come over here after supper, and to bring Mr. Sol Fowler with him. 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: He's to come after supper and bring Mr. Sol Fowler, your attorney-at-law, 3.1 ::AND :=Horace: Just walk right in the back room and say your piece. In front of everybod 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: And nobody gets growing pains any more. That 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: you get. One year an ailment's stylish and the next year it ain't. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: my first big party, at Lionnet I mean, and I was so excited, and there I was with 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Lionnet I mean, and I was so excited, and there I was with hiccoughs and Mama laughing. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: and there I was with hiccoughs and Mama laughing. Mama always laughed. A 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: dress from Mr. Worth in Paris, France, and hiccoughs. My brother pounding me on 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: My brother pounding me on the back and Mama with the elderberry bottle, laughing 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Everybody was on their way to come, and I was such a ninny, hiccoughing away. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: The Ballongs were selling their horses and he was going there to buy. He passed 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: he was going there to buy. He passed and lifted his hat -- we could see him from 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: -- we could see him from the window -- and my brother, to tease Mama, said maybe 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: like them because they kept a store, and he said that was old-fashioned of her. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: he said that was old-fashioned of her. And then, and then, I saw Mama angry for 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: was old-fashioned of her. And then, and then, I saw Mama angry for the first 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: who killed animals they couldn't use, and who made their money charging awful interest 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: interest to the poor, ignorant niggers and cheating them on what they bought. She 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: I had never seen her face like that. And then suddenly she laughed and said, "Look, 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: that. And then suddenly she laughed and said, "Look, I've frightened Birdie out 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: Birdie out of the hiccoughs." And so she had. They were all gone. 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it. Sometimes I think 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: I think it ain't right to stand and watch them do it. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: be better there. They'd be good and kind. I like people to be kind. Don't 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: I don't like Leo. My very own son, and I don't like him. My, I guess I even 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: thought I liked him. He was kind to me and I thought it was because he liked me 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: My family was good and the cotton on Lionnet's fields was better. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: better. Ben Hubbard wanted the cotton and Oscar Hubbard married it for him. He 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: like this you'll get a headache and -- 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: only I had one more whole day, then -- And that's the way you'll be. And you'll 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: then -- And that's the way you'll be. And you'll trail after them, just like me, 3.1 ::AND :=Alexandra: a happy day. You know, we sit around and try to pretend nothing's happened. We 3.1 ::AND :=Alexandra: just by ourselves, some place else, and it doesn't seem to work. Come now, Aunt 3.1 ::AND :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie, I'll walk you home. You and me. 3.1 ::AND :=Birdie: You and me. 3.1 ::AND :=Horace: I'm dead, if she'll only learn to hate and fear this. 3.1 ::AND :=Horace: trouble, but you make Zan stand firm and Fowler'll do the rest. Addie, I'd like 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: count up that high. It's mighty kind and good of you. I don't know what to say 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: Nothing. I just went down and spoke my piece. Just like you told me. 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: the safe box arriving in good shape and he say you come right after supper to 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: come right after supper to his house and bring Mr. Attorney-at-law Sol Fowler 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: I'm wiping my hands, Mr. Leo jump up and say to me, "What box? What you talking 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: And Mr. Leo say he got to leave a little 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: early cause he got something to do. And then Mr. Manders say Mr. Leo should sit 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: say Mr. Leo should sit right down and finish up his work and stop acting like 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: sit right down and finish up his work and stop acting like somebody made him Mr. 3.1 ::AND :=Cal: right. Some men take everything easy and some do not. 3.1 ::AND :=Addie: no more today. you don't feel well and it won't do no good -- 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: to stay in your part of this house and I in mine. This room is my part of the 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: invested our money in Hubbard Sons and Marshall, Cotton Manufacturers. 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: box. They are not there now. Go and look. Go and look, Regina. Those bonds 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: are not there now. Go and look. Go and look, Regina. Those bonds are as negotiable 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: to marry your daughter, took the keys and opened the box. You remember that the 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: that his son Leo had stolen for him. And for Ben, of course, too. 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: You are going to lend them the bonds and let them keep all the profit they make 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: keep all the profit they make on them, and there is nothing I can do about it. Is 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: my death I advise you to talk to Ben and Oscar. They won't admit anything and 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: and Oscar. They won't admit anything and Ben, I think, will be smart enough to 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: safe. Because I knew about the theft and said nothing. Nor will I say anything 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: That's right. And by that time they will probably have 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: probably have replaced your bonds, and then they'll belong to you and nobody 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: bonds, and then they'll belong to you and nobody but us will ever know what happened. 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: to know I'm going to do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital joke 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: think it all a capital joke on you. And that will be the end of that. There's 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: Everybody in this house was so busy and there was so little place for what I 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: I wanted. I wanted the world. Then, and then -- Papa died and left the money 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: the world. Then, and then -- Papa died and left the money to Ben and Oscar. 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: -- Papa died and left the money to Ben and Oscar. 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: And you married me? 3.2 ::AND :=Horace: And that wasn't what you wanted. 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: Remember when I went to Doctor Sloan and I told you he said there was something 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: there was something the matter with me and that you shouldn't touch me any more 3.2 ::AND :=Regina: you would get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've always 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: been looking all over town for you and Uncle Ben -- 3.3 ::AND :=Oscar: just told us it was a sudden attack, and -- 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: Because Cal comes down to Manders and says the box came O.K. and -- 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: to Manders and says the box came O.K. and -- 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: says Manders should come here tonight and bring Sol Fowler with him. I guess that 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: Don't touch it again. Now sit down and shut up for a minute. 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: what you believe? I do the dirty work and then -- 3.3 ::AND :=Leo: Because Manders seemed kind of puzzled and -- 3.3 ::AND :=Addie: over at the Ballongs. Hitch the buggy and go get him. Go on. 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: But they weren't on such pretty terms and maybe he didn't. Maybe he didn't. Now, 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: That was nothing. Why, you and Oscar and I used to fight when we were 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: That was nothing. Why, you and Oscar and I used to fight when we were kids. 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: He said that Leo had stolen the bonds and given them to you. 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: over to Senateville for Doctor Morris. And don't think I'm dismissing this other 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: go yet. I think you had better stay and sit down. 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: Now don't worry and -- 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: You will come back in this room and sit down. I have something more to s 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: Horace has already clipped your wings and very wittily. Do I have to clip them, 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: But I don't think Horace will live. And if he doesn't live I shall want seventy-five 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: Yes. And if I don't get what I want I am going 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: And on what evidence would you put Oscar 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: on what evidence would you put Oscar and Leo in jail? 3.3 ::AND :=Regina: getting ready to swear that it was you and Leo! What do you say to that? Oh, don't 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: Try anything you like, Regina. And now we can stop all this and say good-bye 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: Regina. And now we can stop all this and say good-bye to you. It's his money and 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: say good-bye to you. It's his money and he's obviously willing to let us borrow 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: woman gets more by being soft and appealing? Mama used to tell you that. 3.3 ::AND :=Ben: the hell is Sloan? Take the buggy and -- 3.4 ::AND :=Oscar: that's true. The whole town loved him and respected him. 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: And you, Mama, did you love him, too? 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: Grief makes some people laugh and some people cry. It's better to cry, 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: Please go and lie down, my dear. We all need time to 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: Later. Go and rest now. 3.4 ::AND :=Oscar: And what proof? What proof of all this - 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: won't need any. The bonds are missing and they are with the Marshall. That will 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: a woman whose brothers steal from her. And you couldn't find twelve men in this 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: men in this state you haven't cheated and who hate you for it. 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: Mr. Marshall, who likes me, I think, and who will not want to be involved in your 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: A respectable firm like Marshall and Company. The deal would be off in an 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: The deal would be off in an hour. And you know it. Now I don't want to hear 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: I'll take my seventy-five per cent and we'll forget the story forever. That's 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: forever. That's one way of doing it, and the way I prefer. You know me well enough 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: All right. I take it that's settled and I get what I asked for. 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: forgotten that you ever saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: I say to myself, what's the good? You and I aren't like Oscar. We're not sour people. 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: digestion. Then, too, one loses today and wins tomorrow. I say to myself, years 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: I say to myself, years of planning and I get what I want. Then I don't get it. 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: is open. Open for people like you and me. Ready for us, waiting for us. After 3.4 ::AND :=Ben: Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards and they will own this country some day. 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: And what do you answer? 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: had a bad shock today. I know that. And you loved Papa, but you must have expected 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: want any supper. Put the lights out and lock up. You go to your room, Alexandra. 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: It won't make any difference. And there isn't anything to talk about. I 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: And if I say no? 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: Say it Mama, say it. And see what happens. 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: And if I make you stay? 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: change your mind when you want to. And I won't want to. 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: there were people who ate the earth and other people who stood around and watched 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: and other people who stood around and watched them do it. And just now Uncle 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: stood around and watched them do it. And just now Uncle Ben said the same thing. 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: Mama, I'm not going to stand around and watch you do it. Tell him I'll be fighting 3.4 ::AND :=Alexandra: where people don't just stand around and watch. 3.4 ::AND :=Regina: Alexandra. Would you like to come and talk to me, Alexandra? Would you -- would 2.1 ::ANGRY :=Oscar: the truth, Leo. I am not going to be angry with you. Did you open the box you 2.1 ::ANGRY :=Oscar: I am not going to be angry with you. Sometimes a young fellow 3.1 ::ANGRY :=Birdie: of her. And then, and then, I saw Mama angry for the first time in my life. She 3.1 ::ANGRY :=Birdie: them on what they bought. She was very angry, Mama was. I had never seen her face 3.3 ::ANGRY :=Regina: What do you say to that? Oh, don't be angry, Oscar. I'm going to see that he goes 1.2 ::ANIMALS :=Birdie: I mean, so much. I don't like to see animals and birds killed just for the killing. 3.1 ::ANIMALS :=Birdie: enough not to like people who killed animals they couldn't use, and who made their 1.4 ::ANKLE :=Birdie: happened. I only -- I only twisted my ankle. 1.1 ::ANOTHER :=Regina: And with another glass of port. 2.1 ::ANOTHER :=Oscar: and have sense enough to get off at another? 2.3 ::ANOTHER :=Horace: what I think best. We'll talk about it another day. 1.3 ::ANSWER :=Oscar: That is not an answer. 2.1 ::ANSWER :=Oscar: Damn well ought to be. First he don't answer the letters, then he don't come home 2.3 ::ANSWER :=Regina: I've waited long enough for your answer. I'm not going to wait any longer 3.3 ::ANSWER :=Leo: to ring a bell, then somebody should answer it. Aunt Regina. Addie. Where the 3.3 ::ANSWER :=Leo: when -- You seen Mr. Oscar or Mr. Ben? Answer me, will you? 3.3 ::ANSWER :=Cal: I ain't seen 'em. I ain't got time to answer you. I got to get things. 3.4 ::ANSWER :=Regina: And what do you answer? 3.4 ::ANSWER :=Ben: I have no answer. But maybe some day I will. Maybe 2.3 ::ANSWERED :=Regina: to Ben that perhaps you hadn't answered his letters because you didn't think 1.3 ::ANSWERING :=Oscar: They can't very well keep him from answering letters, can they? They couldn't 1.3 ::ANSWERS :=Oscar: have written, and you have written. He answers. But he never mentions this business. 1.1 ::ANXIOUS :=Birdie: album right away. Mr. Marshall is very anxious to see it because of his father and 2.3 ::ANXIOUS :=Regina: this week. You've been just as anxious for Horace to get here as I've b 2.3 ::ANXIOUS :=Ben: many a good turn. Why shouldn't I be anxious to help him now? 1.1 ::ANY :=Birdie: he forgets. And tell him not to let any of the things drop out of the album and 1.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: worldliness is not a mark of beauty in any woman. 1.1 ::ANY :=Ben: to Europe, horses you can't raise any more, niggers to lift their fingers 1.1 ::ANY :=Regina: Mr. Marshall, but you'll come again. Any time you like. 1.2 ::ANY :=Regina: really have them. Make a wish, Birdie, any wish. It's bound to come true now. 1.3 ::ANY :=Regina: move around with heart trouble at any moment you choose. You know what doctors 1.3 ::ANY :=Ben: either. You won't get it. There isn't any chance of that. You're holding us up, 1.3 ::ANY :=Ben: rich man. What's the difference to any of us if a little more goes here, a little 1.4 ::ANY :=Regina: care of here. He mustn't stay there any longer and listen to those alarmist doctors. 2.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: She had any word? 2.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: You had any word from them? 2.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: Have some coffee? There isn't any coffee. Oh, there you are. Is everything 2.1 ::ANY :=Leo: don't know a thing. They haven't had any message. 2.1 ::ANY :=Leo: find out if the boys at the bank had any message from Uncle Horace or Zan -- 2.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: You just were looking for any excuse to take an hour off. You got to 2.1 ::ANY :=Oscar: That's my hunch. He hasn't showed any signs of loving it yet. 2.1 ::ANY :=Ben: Fine sunny morning. Any news from the runaways? 2.1 ::ANY :=Ben: has been dead for years and, in any case, the train does not go through 2.2 ::ANY :=Regina: later. I have no intention of allowing any such arrangement. It was simply a way 2.2 ::ANY :=Horace: What has Zan to do with any business of Oscar's? Whatever it is, 2.2 ::ANY :=Horace: But you'll not make me feel guilty any more. My "thinking" has made a diffe 2.3 ::ANY :=Regina: well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything must be settled this 2.3 ::ANY :=Ben: got good folks and we don't stand for any fancy fooling." 2.3 ::ANY :=Regina: for your answer. I'm not going to wait any longer. 2.3 ::ANY :=Ben: We'll take care of him. We won't have any trouble about that. I'll see you at the 2.3 ::ANY :=Horace: I'll do it without making the world any worse. I leave that to you. 3.1 ::ANY :=Birdie: I don't think people get hiccoughs any more. Isn't that funny? I used to get 3.1 ::ANY :=Addie: And nobody gets growing pains any more. That is funny. Just as if there 3.1 ::ANY :=Birdie: won't like me now. You won't like me any more. 3.2 ::ANY :=Horace: Because you can't. It won't do you any good to make trouble because I shall 3.2 ::ANY :=Horace: know what happened. They'll be around any minute to see what I am going to do. 3.2 ::ANY :=Regina: me and that you shouldn't touch me any more? 3.3 ::ANY :=Leo: Hello. Never saw any use ringing a bell when a door was open. 3.4 ::ANY :=Regina: None. I won't need any. The bonds are missing and they are with 3.4 ::ANY :=Regina: you know it. Now I don't want to hear any more from any of you. You'll do no more 3.4 ::ANY :=Regina: Now I don't want to hear any more from any of you. You'll do no more bargaining 3.4 ::ANY :=Regina: tired. I shall go to bed. I don't want any supper. Put the lights out and lock up. 3.4 ::ANY :=Regina: want to see anybody else. I don't want any condolence calls tonight. The whole town 3.4 ::ANY :=Alexandra: It won't make any difference. And there isn't anything 1.2 ::ANYBODY :=Birdie: ever would. Papa would never let anybody be nasty-spoken or mean. No, sir. 1.2 ::ANYBODY :=Birdie: And you never let anybody else shoot, and the niggers need 1.4 ::ANYBODY :=Birdie: my own child. I love you more than anybody else -- 2.1 ::ANYBODY :=Oscar: Is that the truth? Does anybody else know that you opened it? Come, 2.2 ::ANYBODY :=Alexandra: I was hoping Papa wouldn't have to see anybody, that it would be nice for him and 2.2 ::ANYBODY :=Horace: to stain the cup. Addie, before I see anybody else, I want to know why Zan came 2.3 ::ANYBODY :=Ben: There'll be no trouble from anybody, white or black. Marshall said to 2.3 ::ANYBODY :=Regina: You hate to see anybody live now, don't you? You hate to 3.2 ::ANYBODY :=Regina: that. I couldn't understand that anybody could be such a soft fool. That was 3.3 ::ANYBODY :=Leo: put it back. I can put it back before anybody knows. 3.4 ::ANYBODY :=Regina: Sloan gets here. I don't want to see anybody else. I don't want any condolence 2.1 ::ANYMORE :=Ben: she used to be. Too old to have taste anymore. If she hadn't belonged to Mama, 1.1 ::ANYTHING :=Birdie: What am I doing? I am not doing anything. What am I doing? 1.1 ::ANYTHING :=Marshall: No, I've never heard of anything but brick houses on a lake, and 1.3 ::ANYTHING :=Oscar: sister and we want you to benefit from anything we do. 1.4 ::ANYTHING :=Alexandra: I'm grown now. Nobody can make me do anything. 2.1 ::ANYTHING :=Regina: last night. My, you do fret so, Oscar. Anything might have happened. They may have 2.1 ::ANYTHING :=Cal: picking was over. Bet they'd give anything for a little piece of that meat 2.1 ::ANYTHING :=Leo: with. He don't even have to sell anything. Eighty-eight thousand worth of 2.2 ::ANYTHING :=Regina: I wanted you home. You can't make anything suspicious out of that, can you 2.2 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: I didn't meant to make anything suspicious about it. Zan said you 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Birdie: it was that bad. Oscar never tells me anything -- 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Alexandra: Is anything the matter, Papa? 3.1 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: She's heard enough around here to ask anything. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: Believe anything you like. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Regina: Why have you waited three days to do anything? This will make a fine story. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Regina: let you punish me. If you won't do anything, I will. Now. 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: You won't do anything. Because you can't. It won't do 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: to Ben and Oscar. They won't admit anything and Ben, I think, will be smart 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Horace: theft and said nothing. Nor will I say anything as long as I live. Is that clear 3.2 ::ANYTHING :=Regina: You will not say anything as long as you live. 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Oscar: you think we should go up? Is there anything we can do for Horace -- 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Leo: I didn't steal anything. I don't know why -- 3.3 ::ANYTHING :=Ben: Try anything you like, Regina. And now we can 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Oscar: kind of talk is this? You couldn't do anything like that! We're your own brothers. 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Alexandra: make any difference. And there isn't anything to talk about. I am going away from 3.4 ::ANYTHING :=Alexandra: to leave here. As I've never wanted anything in my life before. Because now I 1.2 ::ANYWAY :=Ben: over a glass is better than a bond. Anyway it don't hurt to have both. 1.4 ::ANYWAY :=Alexandra: about my going, Aunt Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home again. Don't worry 2.1 ::ANYWAY :=Oscar: enough for us to pay it back then. Anyway, this is only April -- and if he doesn't 2.2 ::ANYWAY :=Regina: I didn't want to remind you of it. Anyway I never believe doctors when they 3.2 ::ANYWAY :=Regina: we haven't been very good together. Anyway, I don't hate you either. I have only 3.3 ::ANYWHERE :=Ben: Never seen Sloan anywhere when you need him. 3.3 ::APPEALING :=Ben: woman gets more by being soft and appealing? Mama used to tell you that. Where 3.3 ::APPROPRIATE :=Ben: not. We'll have it all out on a more appropriate day. 2.1 ::APRIL :=Oscar: pay it back then. Anyway, this is only April -- and if he doesn't look at them until 1.1 ::ARE :=Leo: Mama! Papa! They are coming in now. 1.1 ::ARE :=Ben: Our Southern women are well favored. 1.1 ::ARE :=Ben: But we are a very close family. We've always wanted 1.1 ::ARE :=Marshall: about a great deal. And all of you are part of the same business? Hubbard S 1.1 ::ARE :=Ben: But we are not aristocrats. Our brother's wife is 1.1 ::ARE :=Ben: have been made for us. And maybe they are important distinctions. Now you take 1.1 ::ARE :=Birdie: No, thank you, sir. You are most polite. 1.1 ::ARE :=Regina: You are boring Mr. Marshall with these ancient 1.1 ::ARE :=Marshall: you don't have to convince me that you are the right people for the deal. I wouldn't 1.1 ::ARE :=Marshall: Well, however grand your reasons are, mine are simple: I want to make money 1.1 ::ARE :=Marshall: however grand your reasons are, mine are simple: I want to make money and I believe 1.1 ::ARE :=Marshall: to more high-minded reasons. They are mighty valuable in business. It's fine 1.1 ::ARE :=Ben: Mr. Henry Frick, who said, "Railroads are the Rembrandts of investments." Well, 1.1 ::ARE :=Leo: the horses. And a beautiful pair they are. Come on, Zan. 1.2 ::ARE :=Ben: will be to see the bricks grow. But we are all entitled to a little side indulg 1.2 ::ARE :=Regina: Two! I should like a thousand. You are modest, Birdie. 1.2 ::ARE :=Oscar: You are serious about moving to Chicago? 1.2 ::ARE :=Ben: meet all the great and be proud you are our sister. 1.2 ::ARE :=Regina: learn to be subtle, Ben. Stay as you are. You will be rich and the rich don't 1.2 ::ARE :=Oscar: What is it, Birdie? What are you saying? 1.2 ::ARE :=Oscar: What are you chattering about? 1.2 ::ARE :=Oscar: You are exciting yourself. 1.3 ::ARE :=Ben: You and Birdie. Four conversations are three too many. I said that I had, and 1.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: Ben means that we are ready with our two-thirds of the money. 1.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: very patient, Regina. Naturally, you are our sister and we want you to benefit 1.3 ::ARE :=Regina: you choose. You know what doctors are like once they get their hands on a case 1.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: You are talking very big tonight. 1.3 ::ARE :=Regina: a lot of things to consider. They are first cousins, and -- 1.3 ::ARE :=Regina: Oh, I know. And I know all young men are wild. I'm only mentioning it to show 1.3 ::ARE :=Regina: mentioning it to show you that there are considerations -- 1.3 ::ARE :=Ben: All right, so there are. But please assure Oscar that you will 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: Alexandra? Are you back? 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: And now I have great news for you. You are going to Baltimore in the morning to 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: You are going alone, Alexandra. 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: is nothing for you to understand. You are simply to say what I have told you. 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: But your are doing this for Papa's own good. You must 1.4 ::ARE :=Regina: listen to those alarmist doctors. You are doing this entirely for his sake. Tell 1.4 ::ARE :=Leo: wanting to go! What a little fool you are. Wish it were me. What I could do in 1.4 ::ARE :=Birdie: He's my son. My own son. But you are more to me -- more to me than my own 1.4 ::ARE :=Birdie: horses. I am worrying about you. You are not going to marry Leo. I am not going 2.1 ::ARE :=Regina: Addie? Oh, it's you, Oscar. What are you doing here so early? I haven't been 2.1 ::ARE :=Oscar: happened. People don't just say they are arriving on Thursday night, and they 2.1 ::ARE :=Oscar: There isn't any coffee. Oh, there you are. Is everything in this fancy house always 2.1 ::ARE :=Oscar: with serious things. Outside women are all right in their place, but now isn't 2.1 ::ARE :=Oscar: he never looks at them? Well, here we are sitting around waiting for him to come 2.1 ::ARE :=Regina: very flattered that you and Oscar are so worried about them. 2.2 ::ARE :=Horace: How are you, Addie? How have you been? 2.2 ::ARE :=Alexandra: Oh, are they all here? Why do they always have 2.2 ::ARE :=Addie: I don't know. All I know is big things are going on. Everybody going to be high-tone 2.2 ::ARE :=Horace: What are you talking about? 2.2 ::ARE :=Horace: Hello, Oscar. Hello, Leo, how are you? 2.2 ::ARE :=Ben: Never leave a meal unfinished. There are too many poor people who need the food. 2.2 ::ARE :=Regina: Well. Here we are. It's been a long time. Five months. 2.3 ::ARE :=Regina: Ben, are you finished breakfast? 2.3 ::ARE :=Regina: What an old faker you are! You know it can't wait. You know it 2.3 ::ARE :=Horace: How are all the ladies in Mobile? Whatever made 2.3 ::ARE :=Regina: Do you mean that you are turning this down? Is it possible that's 2.3 ::ARE :=Horace: me home? Well, I had hoped -- If you are disappointed, Regina, I'm sorry. But 2.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: a lot for what they give. The ones who are rich enough to give will be smart enough 2.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: raising the money once the mills are going up. Will Marshall accept the b 2.3 ::ARE :=Ben: Why not? Why not? Good. We are lucky. We'll take the loan from Leo's 2.3 ::ARE :=Ben: I don't want to know where they are. 2.3 ::ARE :=Regina: I demand to know what -- You are lying. You are trying to scare me. You 2.3 ::ARE :=Regina: to know what -- You are lying. You are trying to scare me. You haven't got the 2.3 ::ARE :=Ben: You are getting out of hand. Since when do I 3.1 ::ARE :=Horace: They are fools. 3.1 ::ARE :=Addie: well off cheating niggers. Well, there are people who eat the earth and eat all 3.1 ::ARE :=Addie: the Bible with the locusts. Then there are people who stand around and watch them 3.1 ::ARE :=Alexandra: happened. We try to pretend we are not here. We make believe we are just 3.1 ::ARE :=Alexandra: we are not here. We make believe we are just by ourselves, some place else, and 3.2 ::ARE :=Regina: What are you talking about? You haven't seen Ben 3.2 ::ARE :=Horace: bonds in that safe-deposit box. They are not there now. Go and look. Go and look, 3.2 ::ARE :=Horace: look. Go and look, Regina. Those bonds are as negotiable as money. 3.2 ::ARE :=Regina: What kind of joke are you playing now? Is this for my bene 3.2 ::ARE :=Regina: I want to know what you are talking about. 3.2 ::ARE :=Horace: They are in Chicago. With Mr. Marshall, I should 3.2 ::ARE :=Regina: I see. You are punishing me. But I won't let you punish 3.2 ::ARE :=Regina: I see. You are going to lend them the bonds and let 3.3 ::ARE :=Leo: a bell when a door was open. If you are going to ring a bell, then somebody should 3.3 ::ARE :=Ben: Stop shouting! What the hell are you talking about? 3.3 ::ARE :=Ben: the box. You ass. Put it down. What are you going to do with it, eat it? 3.3 ::ARE :=Ben: no fool. Does Manders know the bonds are missing? 3.3 ::ARE :=Oscar: You are talking -- 3.3 ::ARE :=Regina: So you, at least, are willing to admit that the bonds were 3.3 ::ARE :=Regina: smiling, Ben. I'm smiling because you are quite safe while Horace lives. But I 3.3 ::ARE :=Ben: Greedy! What a greedy girl you are! You want so much of everything. 3.4 ::ARE :=Regina: None. I won't need any. The bonds are missing and they are with the Marshall. 3.4 ::ARE :=Regina: any. The bonds are missing and they are with the Marshall. That will be enough. 3.4 ::ARE :=Regina: There are people who can't go back, who must finish 3.4 ::ARE :=Oscar: Are you going to let her do this -- 3.4 ::ARE :=Ben: all this is just the beginning. There are hundreds of Hubbards sitting in rooms 3.4 ::ARE :=Ben: their names aren't Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards and they will own this country 3.4 ::ARE :=Alexandra: Are you afraid, Mama? 1.1 ::AREN'T :=Regina: Why, Birdie. You aren't playing. 2.1 ::AREN'T :=Oscar: If nothing's happened, then why aren't they here? 2.1 ::AREN'T :=Regina: a convention so early in the morning, aren't you all? 3.3 ::AREN'T :=Ben: Aren't we starting at the wrong end, Regina? 3.4 ::AREN'T :=Regina: You're getting old, Ben. Your tricks aren't as smart as they used to be. All right. 3.4 ::AREN'T :=Ben: to myself, what's the good? You and I aren't like Oscar. We're not sour people. 3.4 ::AREN'T :=Ben: the country. All their names aren't Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards 3.4 ::AREN'T :=Regina: You're very serious about it, aren't you? Well, you'll change your mind 1.1 ::ARISTOCRACY :=Ben: one of us who belongs to the Southern aristocracy. 1.1 ::ARISTOCRAT :=Ben: Who was not an aristocrat, like Birdie's. 1.1 ::ARISTOCRAT :=Ben: like them. Why? Because the Southern aristocrat can adapt himself to nothing. 1.1 ::ARISTOCRATS :=Marshall: It's very remarkable how you Southern aristocrats have kept together. Kept together 1.1 ::ARISTOCRATS :=Ben: You misunderstand, sir. Southern aristocrats have not kept together and have 1.1 ::ARISTOCRATS :=Ben: But we are not aristocrats. Our brother's wife is the only 2.3 ::ARM :=Ben: nigger but wouldn't give his right arm for three silver dollars every week, 3.1 ::ARMOIRE :=Horace: I know. But upstairs in the armoire drawer there's seventeen hundred 3.1 ::ARMY :=Addie: much talk around here since Sherman's army didn't come near. 1.1 ::AROUND :=Marshall: each other's lives. My family moves around too much. My children seem never to 1.2 ::AROUND :=Birdie: But Horace won't be able to move around. You know what the doctor wrote. 1.3 ::AROUND :=Regina: he wants to come home. You can't move around with heart trouble at any moment you 2.1 ::AROUND :=Oscar: You do a lot of judging around here, Addie, eh? Judging of your white 2.1 ::AROUND :=Oscar: at them? Well, here we are sitting around waiting for him to come home and invest 2.2 ::AROUND :=Oscar: that strange costume you're parading around in? 2.2 ::AROUND :=Oscar: Your mother has gone crazy. Running around the streets like a woman -- 2.2 ::AROUND :=Regina: Who gossips so much around here? 2.3 ::AROUND :=Horace: take less than that when you get around to playing them off against each other. 3.1 ::AROUND :=Addie: orders. There ain't been so much talk around here since Sherman's army didn't come 3.1 ::AROUND :=Addie: Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it. Sometimes I 3.1 ::AROUND :=Horace: Why not? She's heard enough around here to ask anything. 3.1 ::AROUND :=Alexandra: to make a happy day. You know, we sit around and try to pretend nothing's happened. 3.2 ::AROUND :=Horace: ever know what happened. They'll be around any minute to see what I am going 3.4 ::AROUND :=Regina: Don't sit there staring. You've been around Birdie so much you're getting just 3.4 ::AROUND :=Alexandra: the earth and other people who stood around and watched them do it. And just now 3.4 ::AROUND :=Alexandra: for me, Mama, I'm not going to stand around and watch you do it. Tell him I'll 3.4 ::AROUND :=Alexandra: place where people don't just stand around and watch. 1.3 ::ARRANGEMENT :=Ben: so. A marriage might be a very wise arrangement, for several reasons. And then, 2.2 ::ARRANGEMENT :=Regina: have no intention of allowing any such arrangement. It was simply a way of keeping 1.3 ::ARRANGING :=Oscar: can they? They couldn't keep him from arranging for the money if he wanted to 2.3 ::ARRIVE :=Regina: can he to go to Chicago? Did a ghost arrive with the money? I don't believe you. 2.2 ::ARRIVED :=Regina: Horace! You've finally arrived. 3.1 ::ARRIVED :=Horace: to him for bringing the box, it arrived all right. 2.1 ::ARRIVING :=Oscar: People don't just say they are arriving on Thursday night, and they haven't 2.1 ::ARRIVING :=Regina: What is so strange about people arriving late? He has that cousin in Savannah 3.1 ::ARRIVING :=Cal: he thank you mightily for the safe box arriving in good shape and he say you come 1.1 ::AS :=Birdie: -- My, Addie. What a good supper! Just as good as good can be. 1.1 ::AS :=Birdie: What a good supper! Just as good as good can be. 1.1 ::AS :=Ben: Modesty in the young is as excellent as it is rare. 1.1 ::AS :=Ben: Modesty in the young is as excellent as it is rare. 1.1 ::AS :=Ben: him something here. That's every bit as true for the nigger picking cotton for 1.1 ::AS :=Ben: picking cotton for a silver quarter, as it is for you and me. If it don't give 1.2 ::AS :=Ben: Yes, sir. It's beginning to look as if the deal's all set. I may not be a 1.2 ::AS :=Ben: Slowly, slowly. As yet we have only our hopes. 1.2 ::AS :=Regina: have to learn to be subtle, Ben. Stay as you are. You will be rich and the rich 1.2 ::AS :=Ben: take a great deal of money to live as you're planning, Regina. 1.3 ::AS :=Oscar: It's beginning to look as if he doesn't want to come home. 1.4 ::AS :=Regina: be so glum, Oscar. It makes you look as if you had chronic indigestion. 1.4 ::AS :=Alexandra: cooled off. He always beats the horses as if -- 2.1 ::AS :=Oscar: I haven't got no objections so long as they don't interfere with serious things. 2.1 ::AS :=Oscar: you worry. When I die, you'll have as much as the rest. You might have yours 2.1 ::AS :=Oscar: worry. When I die, you'll have as much as the rest. You might have yours and Alexandra's. 2.1 ::AS :=Leo: and take them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that box! There's 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: Addie, I bet your coffee's as good as ever. They don't have such good 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: Addie, I bet your coffee's as good as ever. They don't have such good coffee 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: have such good coffee up north. Is it as good, Addie? 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: Well, it's just as if I had never been away. All of you here 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: I'm saying all the wrong things as usual. Let's try to get along better. 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: is no need to talk about it ever. Not as long as I live. As long as I live. I've 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: to talk about it ever. Not as long as I live. As long as I live. I've been in 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: about it ever. Not as long as I live. As long as I live. I've been in a hospital 2.2 ::AS :=Horace: ever. Not as long as I live. As long as I live. I've been in a hospital for five 2.2 ::AS :=Regina: catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you say. 2.3 ::AS :=Regina: finished this week. You've been just as anxious for Horace to get here as I've 2.3 ::AS :=Regina: just as anxious for Horace to get here as I've been. 2.3 ::AS :=Ben: the sun to rise again. And sometimes, as our mother used to tell you, it's unwise 3.1 ::AS :=Addie: pains any more. That is funny. Just as if there was some style in what you get. 3.1 ::AS :=Birdie: had a headache in my life. You know as well as I do. I never had a headache, 3.1 ::AS :=Birdie: headache in my life. You know as well as I do. I never had a headache, Zan. That's 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: Go and look, Regina. Those bonds are as negotiable as money. 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: Regina. Those bonds are as negotiable as money. 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: I'm going to let them keep the bonds -- as a loan from you. An eighty-eight-thousand-dollar 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: said nothing. Nor will I say anything as long as I live. Is that clear to you? 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: Nor will I say anything as long as I live. Is that clear to you? 3.2 ::AS :=Regina: You will not say anything as long as you live. 3.2 ::AS :=Regina: You will not say anything as long as you live. 3.2 ::AS :=Regina: to find out I had made a mistake. As for you -- I don't know. It was almost 3.2 ::AS :=Regina: for you -- I don't know. It was almost as if I couldn't stand the kind of man you 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: Really? It was as bad as that? 3.2 ::AS :=Horace: Really? It was as bad as that? 3.3 ::AS :=Regina: pretend that he had lent them to you as a present from me -- to my brothers. He 3.3 ::AS :=Regina: there was nothing I could do about it as long as he was alive to say he had lent 3.3 ::AS :=Regina: nothing I could do about it as long as he was alive to say he had lent you the 3.3 ::AS :=Ben: explained, all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 3.4 ::AS :=Regina: As I was saying. Tomorrow morning I am going 3.4 ::AS :=Regina: getting old, Ben. Your tricks aren't as smart as they used to be. All right. I 3.4 ::AS :=Regina: old, Ben. Your tricks aren't as smart as they used to be. All right. I take it 3.4 ::AS :=Regina: that you ever saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, 3.4 ::AS :=Regina: you ever saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, I've 3.4 ::AS :=Alexandra: Mama, because I want to leave here. As I've never wanted anything in my life 3.4 ::AS :=Alexandra: you do it. Tell him I'll be fighting as hard as he'll be fighting some place where 3.4 ::AS :=Alexandra: it. Tell him I'll be fighting as hard as he'll be fighting some place where people 1.1 ::ASK :=Addie: Better ask Mama. 1.2 ::ASK :=Ben: be a subtle man -- but -- Now somebody ask me how I know the deal is set. 1.3 ::ASK :=Regina: send Alexandra to Baltimore. She will ask him to come home. She will say that she 2.2 ::ASK :=Regina: It's all my fault. I didn't ask about -- about your illness because I 3.1 ::ASK :=Horace: not? She's heard enough around here to ask anything. 3.1 ::ASK :=Birdie: me too. But that wasn't the reason -- Ask why he married me. I can tell you that: 3.3 ::ASK :=Regina: Would you ask them to stop that, please? 3.4 ::ASK :=Oscar: Certainly, I -- What a strange thing to ask! I -- 3.4 ::ASK :=Regina: I didn't ask her to stay. Tomorrow morning I go to 3.4 ::ASK :=Ben: a wheel chair doing on a staircase? I ask myself that. 1.2 ::ASKED :=Birdie: Regina asked me what I'd like. 1.3 ::ASKED :=Oscar: I've asked before: where is this extra share coming 2.1 ::ASKED :=Regina: You asked me that ten times last night. My, you 2.1 ::ASKED :=Leo: well, took the box out. Then they all asked me if I wanted to see, too. So I looked 2.2 ::ASKED :=Oscar: I asked you what is that strange costume you're 2.2 ::ASKED :=Horace: since I've been here you have not once asked me about -- about my health. Well, 3.4 ::ASKED :=Regina: it that's settled and I get what I asked for. 1.3 ::ASKING :=Regina: well enough to know that I wouldn't be asking for things I didn't think I could 2.2 ::ASKING :=Horace: was only fair to tell you. I was not asking for your sympathy. 3.1 ::ASKING :=Addie: That's no question for you to be asking. 1.3 ::ASKS :=Regina: You agree that he will come home if she asks him to, if she says that I miss him 3.3 ::ASS :=Ben: There's the box. You ass. Put it down. What are you going to do 1.3 ::ASSURE :=Ben: All right, so there are. But please assure Oscar that you will think about it 1.3 ::ASSURE :=Regina: Very well. I assure Oscar that I will think about it 1.1 ::AT :=Marshall: children seem never to come home. Away at school in the winter; in the summer, Europe 1.1 ::AT :=Regina: to meet you. He's been very ill. He is at Johns Hopkins. But he will be home soon. 1.1 ::AT :=Leo: Horace. I mean I work for Uncle Horace at his bank. I keep an eye on things while 1.1 ::AT :=Regina: Mr. Marshall said at supper that he would like you to play 1.1 ::AT :=Marshall: Not at all. We settled everything this afternoon. 1.2 ::AT :=Regina: -- Our future! You were charming at supper, Birdie. Mr. Marshall certainly 1.2 ::AT :=Birdie: will come to Chicago. Chicago will be at her feet." He said the ladies would bow 1.2 ::AT :=Birdie: that nobody had ever lost their temper at Lionnet, and nobody ever would. Papa would 1.3 ::AT :=Regina: can't move around with heart trouble at any moment you choose. You know what doctors 1.3 ::AT :=Regina: And look at us. 1.4 ::AT :=Regina: I should think you'd like going alone. At your age it certainly would have delighted 1.4 ::AT :=Leo: Oh, yes, sir. Lots of girls get married at Zan's age. Look at Mary Prester and Johanna 1.4 ::AT :=Leo: girls get married at Zan's age. Look at Mary Prester and Johanna and -- 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: What's the matter here? Fine thing at this time of the morning. Blinds all closed. 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: a girl that age could get on a train at one place and have sense enough to get 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: place and have sense enough to get off at another? 2.1 ::AT :=Regina: Where should he be? At home, probably. Really, Oscar, I don't 2.1 ::AT :=Leo: You told me to find out if the boys at the bank had any message from Uncle Horace 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: if they didn't have a message to stay at the bank and do your work. 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: Also, you got to start working harder at the bank. You got to convince your Uncle 2.1 ::AT :=Leo: the boys, sir. It was one of the boys at the bank. He took old Manders' keys. It 2.1 ::AT :=Leo: them for him. Imagine not looking at all that. You can bet if I had the bonds, 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: only April -- and if he doesn't look at them until Fall, he wouldn't even miss 2.1 ::AT :=Oscar: could he miss them if he never looks at them? Well, here we are sitting around 2.1 ::AT :=Leo: When I was at school three of the boys and myself took 2.2 ::AT :=Horace: a bad time. No, I didn't, Regina. Oh, at first when I -- when I heard the news 2.2 ::AT :=Horace: me to come home. I was so pleased at that and touched it made me feel good 2.3 ::AT :=Horace: the boys grow rich. How's everything at the bank, Leo? 2.3 ::AT :=Horace: know them all myself. Let's leave it at that. 2.3 ::AT :=Regina: We shall not leave it at that! We have waited for you here like 2.3 ::AT :=Oscar: Pacific bonds. Leo's friend don't look at the bonds much -- not for five or six 2.3 ::AT :=Oscar: much -- not for five or six months at a time. 2.3 ::AT :=Oscar: You told me he won't look at them until Fall -- 2.3 ::AT :=Oscar: Shut up, Leo! He won't look at them again until September. That gives 2.3 ::AT :=Ben: any trouble about that. I'll see you at the store. 3.1 ::AT :=Horace: Go in the back way. They'll be at the table, going over the day's business. 3.1 ::AT :=Birdie: I remember. It was my first big party, at Lionnet I mean, and I was so excited, 3.1 ::AT :=Birdie: with the elderberry bottle, laughing at me. Everybody was on their way to come, 3.1 ::AT :=Birdie: was kind to me, then. He used to smile at me. He hasn't smiled at me since. Everybody 3.1 ::AT :=Birdie: used to smile at me. He hasn't smiled at me since. Everybody knew that's what he 3.1 ::AT :=Horace: to let her stay innocent, like Birdie at her age. Let her listen now. Let her see 3.2 ::AT :=Regina: of man you were -- I used to lie there at night, praying you wouldn't come near 3.3 ::AT :=Addie: Dr. Sloan's over at the Ballongs. Hitch the buggy and go get 3.3 ::AT :=Ben: Aren't we starting at the wrong end, Regina? What did Horace 3.3 ::AT :=Regina: So you, at least, are willing to admit that the bonds 3.4 ::ATE :=Alexandra: day: Addie said there were people who ate the earth and other people who stood 2.1 ::ATLANTA :=Regina: They may have missed connections in Atlanta, the train may have been delayed 3.2 ::ATTACK :=Regina: Addie! Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. Come up here. 3.3 ::ATTACK :=Cal: Mr. Horace he got an attack. He's bad. Miss Regina says you stop 3.3 ::ATTACK :=Oscar: Addie just told us it was a sudden attack, and -- 3.3 ::ATTACK :=Regina: He's had a bad attack. 1.3 ::ATTACKED :=Ben: My, my. I am being attacked tonight on all sides. First by my 1.3 ::ATTACKED :=Ben: And I ain't a man who likes being attacked. I can't believe that God wants 3.3 ::ATTACKS :=Ben: talk like that. He's come through attacks before. He will now. 1.4 ::ATTEND :=Ben: I'll attend to the railroad ticket. One of the 3.1 ::ATTORNEY-AT-LAW :=Cal: supper and bring Mr. Sol Fowler, your attorney-at-law, with him. 3.1 ::ATTORNEY-AT-LAW :=Cal: supper to his house and bring Mr. Attorney-at-law Sol Fowler with you." Then 1.1 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: It's not I who play well, sir. It's my aunt. She plays just wonderfully. She's my 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: a lovely night. You should have come, Aunt Birdie. 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: I don't understand about my going, Aunt Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: Marry? To Leo? I wouldn't marry, Aunt Birdie. I've never even thought about 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: That's foolish, Aunt Birdie. I'm grown now. Nobody can make 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: All right. Good night, Aunt Birdie. Good night, Uncle Oscar. Aunt 1.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. Good night, Uncle Oscar. Aunt Birdie! What happened? What happened? 2.1 ::AUNT :=Leo: But he hasn't listened to Aunt Regina yet, either. Oh, he'll go along. 2.2 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: How's Aunt Birdie? Is she here? 3.1 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie, why did you marry Uncle Osc 3.1 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. 3.1 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: and it doesn't seem to work. Come now, Aunt Birdie, I'll walk you home. You and 3.3 ::AUNT :=Leo: bell, then somebody should answer it. Aunt Regina. Addie. Where the hell -- Cal! 3.3 ::AUNT :=Leo: He would have told her about it. Aunt Regina. He would have told his own wife 3.4 ::AUNT :=Alexandra: Funny. That's what Aunt Birdie said today. 1.1 ::AUTOGRAPH :=Marshall: Oh, Mrs. Hubbard. Where's that Wagner autograph you promised to let me see? My 1.1 ::AUTOGRAPH :=Birdie: The autograph? Oh. Well. Really, Mr. Marshall, 2.3 ::AVERAGES :=Ben: he says to me, "and that averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By 1.1 ::AWAY :=Birdie: drawer, and bring my music album right away. Mr. Marshall is very anxious to see 1.1 ::AWAY :=Marshall: My children seem never to come home. Away at school in the winter; in the summer, 1.1 ::AWAY :=Leo: I keep an eye on things while he's away. 1.2 ::AWAY :=Regina: She's away a great deal. He said that several times. 1.2 ::AWAY :=Regina: like us, what for? But I'm not going away tomorrow, Birdie. There's plenty of 1.2 ::AWAY :=Birdie: for the killing. You only throw them away -- 1.3 ::AWAY :=Regina: Oh, it's too far away. We'll talk about it in a few years 2.1 ::AWAY :=Oscar: Serve Ben right if he had to give away some of his. 2.2 ::AWAY :=Horace: Well, it's just as if I had never been away. All of you here -- 2.3 ::AWAY :=Regina: see what I've done while you've been away. How I watched your interests. And I've 2.3 ::AWAY :=Oscar: you if the whole thing just dripped away right through our fingers. You can't 2.3 ::AWAY :=Alexandra: listen, Papa. Just don't listen. Go away -- 3.1 ::AWAY :=Birdie: and I was such a ninny, hiccoughing away. You know, that was the first day I 3.1 ::AWAY :=Alexandra: -- when you feel better couldn't we go away? I mean, by ourselves. Couldn't we find 3.1 ::AWAY :=Horace: going to know that she's got to get away? I'm trying to show her that. I'm trying, 3.1 ::AWAY :=Horace: Take her away. 3.1 ::AWAY :=Addie: Do you think they'd let me just go away with her? 3.1 ::AWAY :=Horace: Go away, Addie. 3.4 ::AWAY :=Regina: It will be good for you to get away from here. Good for me, too. Time heals 3.4 ::AWAY :=Regina: Be good for you to get away from all this. 3.4 ::AWAY :=Alexandra: anything to talk about. I am going away from you. Because I want to. Because 3.4 ::AWAY :=Regina: You know your papa wanted you to go away from me? 3.1 ::AWFUL :=Birdie: use, and who made their money charging awful interest to the poor, ignorant niggers 1.1 ::AZALEAS :=Regina: of our horses and the smell of our azaleas. I should like crowds of people, 1.4 ::BABIED :=Regina: a strange girl, Alexandra. Addie has babied you so much. 1.4 ::BABY :=Addie: Come on, baby. Your mama's waiting for you, and she 2.1 ::BABY :=Addie: happened. Sure fire disgrace to let a baby like that go all the way alone to bring 2.1 ::BABY :=Leo: fine. Then right next to them is a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo 1.1 ::BACK :=Birdie: bring it right in here when he comes back. 1.2 ::BACK :=Birdie: I should like to have Lionnet back. I know you own it now, but I'd like 1.2 ::BACK :=Birdie: Oscar. Please let me have Lionnet back. 1.4 ::BACK :=Regina: Alexandra? Are you back? 1.4 ::BACK :=Alexandra: he must be well. Think of it, he'll be back home again. We'll bring him home. 1.4 ::BACK :=Alexandra: That's why we were late getting back. We had to wait until they cooled off. 2.1 ::BACK :=Leo: make him close it up and put the keys back in Manders' drawer -- 2.1 ::BACK :=Leo: Horace has. And now he can just sit back and wait to be a millionaire. 2.1 ::BACK :=Oscar: four, easy enough for us to pay it back then. Anyway, this is only April -- 2.1 ::BACK :=Regina: The grits isn't hot enough. Take it back. 2.2 ::BACK :=Alexandra: very bad. Now don't move until I come back and don't talk much and remember about 2.2 ::BACK :=Horace: Go on, Addie. Go and say I'm back. 2.2 ::BACK :=Leo: sir. But a lot better now that you're back. 2.2 ::BACK :=Birdie: have been here. I didn't know you were back until Simon said he saw the buggy. Oh, 2.2 ::BACK :=Birdie: Oh. Tell Zan I'll be back in a little while. Sorry, Oscar. 2.2 ::BACK :=Ben: see you home, Horace. Fine to have you back. Fine to have you back. 2.2 ::BACK :=Ben: to have you back. Fine to have you back. 2.3 ::BACK :=Ben: would your friend be wanting the bonds back? 2.3 ::BACK :=Regina: the money? I don't believe you. Come back here. Come back here, you -- 2.3 ::BACK :=Regina: believe you. Come back here. Come back here, you -- 2.3 ::BACK :=Alexandra: Papa, Papa, please go back! You will -- 3.1 ::BACK :=Horace: Birdie, when did Oscar get back from Chicago? 3.1 ::BACK :=Horace: Go in the back way. They'll be at the table, going 3.1 ::BACK :=Horace: That's right. Just walk right in the back room and say your piece. In front of 3.1 ::BACK :=Birdie: My brother pounding me on the back and Mama with the elderberry bottle, 3.1 ::BACK :=Birdie: Like I say, if we could only go back to Lionnet. Everybody's be better there. 3.1 ::BACK :=Cal: I'm back. I'm back. 3.1 ::BACK :=Cal: I'm back. I'm back. 3.1 ::BACK :=Addie: But that's Miss Regina coming back. 3.3 ::BACK :=Leo: I can put it back. I can put it back before anybody k 3.3 ::BACK :=Leo: I can put it back. I can put it back before anybody knows. 3.3 ::BACK :=Ben: Now you shall have the bonds safely back. That was the understanding, wasn't 3.3 ::BACK :=Ben: We'll be back with Sloan. 3.3 ::BACK :=Regina: You will come back in this room and sit down. I have something 3.3 ::BACK :=Regina: You don't -- yet. Come back, Oscar. You too, Leo. 3.4 ::BACK :=Regina: There are people who can't go back, who must finish what they start. I 3.4 ::BACK :=Addie: Cal is back, Miss Regina. He says Dr. Sloan will 2.3 ::BACON :=Horace: than cheating niggers on a pound of bacon. Why should I give you the money? To 1.3 ::BAD :=Regina: My, you're in a bad humor and you shall put me in one. I 2.1 ::BAD :=Ben: second breakfast for me. My first was bad. Celia ain't the cook she used to be. 2.2 ::BAD :=Alexandra: Oh, Papa, you feel bad again. I knew you did. Do you want your 2.2 ::BAD :=Alexandra: only when -- only if he feels very bad. Now don't move until I come back and 2.2 ::BAD :=Regina: Don't try to tell me you didn't have a bad time of it. 2.2 ::BAD :=Horace: I didn't have a bad time. No, I didn't, Regina. Oh, at first 2.2 ::BAD :=Regina: What do the doctors think caused your bad heart? 2.2 ::BAD :=Horace: Caused my heart to be bad? I don't think that's the best scientific 2.2 ::BAD :=Regina: did. I only thought you might catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you say. 2.2 ::BAD :=Horace: I didn't tell them about my bad conscience. Or about my fancy women. 2.3 ::BAD :=Ben: He has refused? My, that's too bad. 3.1 ::BAD :=Alexandra: It's too bad it's been raining all day, Papa. But 3.1 ::BAD :=Birdie: Oh, I didn't know it was that bad. Oscar never tells me anything -- 3.1 ::BAD :=Birdie: I am so happy and yet I think about bad things. That's not right, now, is it 3.1 ::BAD :=Birdie: or say something to make you feel so bad -- only you'll be worse off because you 3.1 ::BAD :=Addie: sorry Zan had to hear it. You feel bad, don't you? 3.2 ::BAD :=Horace: Really? It was as bad as that? 3.2 ::BAD :=Regina: get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've always been 3.3 ::BAD :=Cal: Mr. Horace he got an attack. He's bad. Miss Regina says you stop that nois 3.3 ::BAD :=Cal: I don't know, Mr. Ben. He was bad. 3.3 ::BAD :=Cal: He wasn't feeling bad early. Then there he is next thing on 3.3 ::BAD :=Oscar: Sounds bad. 3.3 ::BAD :=Regina: He's had a bad attack. 3.3 ::BAD :=Oscar: Too bad. I'm sorry we weren't here when -- when 3.3 ::BAD :=Oscar: It's that -- it's that bad? Wouldn't you think Sloan could be found 3.3 ::BAD :=Ben: all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 3.3 ::BAD :=Regina: It's not a pleasant story. I feel bad, Ben, naturally. I hadn't thought -- 3.4 ::BAD :=Regina: Not like yourself. You've had a bad shock today. I know that. And you loved 3.4 ::BAD :=Regina: all sugar water. We don't have to be bad friends. I don't want us to be bad friends, 3.4 ::BAD :=Regina: be bad friends. I don't want us to be bad friends, Alexandra. Would you like to 1.3 ::BADLY :=Regina: that if you knew your money was very badly needed, well, you just might say, I 3.3 ::BADLY :=Regina: So I'm very badly off, you see. But Horace said there 3.1 ::BALLONGS :=Birdie: day I ever saw Oscar Hubbard. The Ballongs were selling their horses and he 3.3 ::BALLONGS :=Addie: Dr. Sloan's over at the Ballongs. Hitch the buggy and go get him. 1.3 ::BALTIMORE :=Ben: soon after. Regina, Horace has been in Baltimore for five months. I know that you've 1.3 ::BALTIMORE :=Regina: I will send Alexandra to Baltimore. She will ask him to come home. 1.4 ::BALTIMORE :=Regina: great news for you. You are going to Baltimore in the morning to bring your father 1.4 ::BALTIMORE :=Regina: married tomorrow. But she is going to Baltimore tomorrow, so let's talk about that. 1.4 ::BALTIMORE :=Leo: me. What I could do in a place like Baltimore! 2.1 ::BALTIMORE :=Ben: think maybe he never started from Baltimore and never intends to start? 2.1 ::BALTIMORE :=Leo: will have some tales to tell, I bet. Baltimore is a lively town. 2.1 ::BALTIMORE :=Leo: took a train once and went over to Baltimore. It was so big we thought we were 2.2 ::BALTIMORE :=Horace: Regina. Why did you send Zan to Baltimore? 1.1 ::BANK :=Leo: I mean I work for Uncle Horace at his bank. I keep an eye on things while he's 1.3 ::BANK :=Ben: a shrewd trader. Always has been. The bank is proof of that. 1.3 ::BANK :=Regina: when he took a little money from the bank and -- 2.1 ::BANK :=Leo: The boys in the bank don't know a thing. They haven't had 2.1 ::BANK :=Leo: told me to find out if the boys at the bank had any message from Uncle Horace or 2.1 ::BANK :=Oscar: didn't have a message to stay at the bank and do your work. 2.1 ::BANK :=Oscar: you got to start working harder at the bank. You got to convince your Uncle Horace 2.1 ::BANK :=Leo: sir. It was one of the boys at the bank. He took old Manders' keys. It was Joe 2.1 ::BANK :=Leo: No. Nobody knew. Nobody was in the bank when I did it. But -- 2.2 ::BANK :=Leo: I'll give you all the news about the bank -- 2.3 ::BANK :=Horace: grow rich. How's everything at the bank, Leo? 3.1 ::BANK :=Horace: Now you walk yourself down to the bank. 1.1 ::BANKER :=Ben: and me. My sister's good husband is a banker. 3.3 ::BARGAIN :=Regina: me? Do I have to listen to this in the bargain? 2.3 ::BARGAINING :=Regina: Exactly. So I did a little bargaining for you and convinced my brothers 3.4 ::BARGAINING :=Regina: from any of you. You'll do no more bargaining in this house. I'll take my seventy-five 2.2 ::BATH :=Addie: look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. Change your linens, get out a fresh 1.3 ::BATTLES :=Regina: I thought I should fight his battles for him, before he came home. Horace 1.1 ::BE :=Addie: Go on. You'll be needed. 1.1 ::BE :=Birdie: good supper! Just as good as good can be. 1.1 ::BE :=Birdie: just to listen to music. Wouldn't that be nice, Addie? Just to sit there and listen 1.1 ::BE :=Oscar: him like a magpie. You haven't let him be for a second. I can't think he came South 1.1 ::BE :=Oscar: second. I can't think he came South to be bored with you. 1.1 ::BE :=Regina: trying to console me. Chicago may be the noisiest, dirtiest city in the world 1.1 ::BE :=Alexandra: Mr. Marshall, this will be the first taste of port I've ever had 1.1 ::BE :=Regina: He is at Johns Hopkins. But he will be home soon. We think he is getting better 1.1 ::BE :=Marshall: promised to let me see? My train will be leaving soon and -- 1.1 ::BE :=Oscar: Don't be stubborn, Birdie. Mr. Marshall wants you 1.1 ::BE :=Marshall: leave for the train. And I insist they be spent with you. 1.1 ::BE :=Marshall: right people for the deal. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't convinced me six months 1.1 ::BE :=Ben: I say, "Southern cotton mills will be the Rembrandts of investment." So I give 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: will come to Chicago. Chicago will be at her feet." He said the ladies would 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: always wanted to. And now there'll be plenty of money to go with. 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: But Horace won't be able to move around. You know what the 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: There'll be millions, Birdie, millions. You know what 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: rich? I said I think you should either be a nigger or a millionaire. In between, 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: Will we be going to Chicago? I mean, Oscar and Leo 1.2 ::BE :=Ben: Looks like it might be we did. 1.2 ::BE :=Ben: as if the deal's all set. I may not be a subtle man -- but -- Now somebody ask 1.2 ::BE :=Oscar: of seeing the bricks grow will be enough for me. 1.2 ::BE :=Ben: of course. Our greatest pleasure will be to see the bricks grow. But we are all 1.2 ::BE :=Ben: That's a pretty picture, Birdie. Might be a most pleasant way to live. What do you 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: garden. Just where Mama's used to be. Oh, I do think we could be happier there. 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: used to be. Oh, I do think we could be happier there. Papa used to say that nobody 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: would. Papa would never let anybody be nasty-spoken or mean. No, sir. He just 1.2 ::BE :=Ben: visit you and meet all the great and be proud you are our sister. 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: And you won't even have to learn to be subtle, Ben. Stay as you are. You will 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: subtle, Ben. Stay as you are. You will be rich and the rich don't have to be su 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: be rich and the rich don't have to be subtle. 1.2 ::BE :=Oscar: She's seventeen. Old enough to be thinking about marrying. 1.2 ::BE :=Regina: Certainly. But there'll be plenty of money. You have estimated the 1.2 ::BE :=Birdie: Now that we'll be so rich everybody was saying what they 1.3 ::BE :=Oscar: Horace's I mean, doesn't seem to be ready. Ben has written to Horace, I have 1.3 ::BE :=Oscar: No need to be cynical. We'd have no trouble raising 1.3 ::BE :=Regina: a great deal. But perhaps it would be wise for you to find him. 1.3 ::BE :=Regina: will put up the money. That should be enough. 1.3 ::BE :=Ben: than your word now. The contracts will be signed this week, and Marshall will want 1.3 ::BE :=Regina: Then, possibly, he may be keeping silent because he doesn't think 1.3 ::BE :=Oscar: goods manufactured here than can be made in the North. 1.3 ::BE :=Regina: Oh, I shouldn't like to be too definite. But I could say that I wouldn't 1.3 ::BE :=Regina: me well enough to know that I wouldn't be asking for things I didn't think I could 1.3 ::BE :=Ben: I don't mind doing it if it's got to be done. You ought to take these things better, 1.3 ::BE :=Ben: to make you more money now. You'll be a very rich man. What's the difference 1.3 ::BE :=Ben: I dislike them so. A marriage might be a very wise arrangement, for several reasons. 1.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: come? That must mean -- Addie, he must be well. Think of it, he'll be back home 1.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: he must be well. Think of it, he'll be back home again. We'll bring him home 1.4 ::BE :=Addie: He'd expect me to be along -- 1.4 ::BE :=Regina: I'll be up in a few minutes to tell you what to 1.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: I only thought it would be more fun if Addie and I went together 1.4 ::BE :=Regina: so let's talk about that. You'll be glad to have Papa home again. 1.4 ::BE :=Birdie: He may be too sick. She couldn't do that -- 1.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: Yes. He may be too sick to travel. I couldn't make him 1.4 ::BE :=Regina: for Papa's own good. You must let me be the judge of his condition. It's the best 1.4 ::BE :=Regina: possible cure for him to come home and be taken care of here. He mustn't stay there 1.4 ::BE :=Regina: night, Ben. Good night, Oscar -- Don't be so glum, Oscar. It makes you look as if 1.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home again. Don't worry about me. I can 2.1 ::BE :=Regina: Where should he be? At home, probably. Really, Oscar, I don't 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: to start settling down. You going to be a married man one of these days. 2.1 ::BE :=Leo: has happened to them? Supposed to be here last night -- Bet you Uncle Ben's 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: Ought to be worried. Damn well ought to be. First 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: Ought to be worried. Damn well ought to be. First he don't answer the letters, then 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: Well, you should be, you should be. It's every man's duty 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: Well, you should be, you should be. It's every man's duty to thing of hi 2.1 ::BE :=Leo: them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that box! There's all those 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: me the truth, Leo. I am not going to be angry with you. Did you open the box 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: I am not going to be angry with you. Sometimes a young fellow 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: that you opened it? Come, Leo, don't be afraid of speaking the truth to me. 2.1 ::BE :=Oscar: big share, too. Well, a man can't be shot for wanting to see his son get on 2.1 ::BE :=Leo: now he can just sit back and wait to be a millionaire. 2.1 ::BE :=Leo: Papa, it must be that you haven't had your breakfast! Lend 2.1 ::BE :=Regina: may have stopped to see him. They'll be along today some time, very flattered 2.1 ::BE :=Ben: bad. Celia ain't the cook she used to be. Too old to have taste anymore. If she 2.1 ::BE :=Regina: before I've had something hot. Do be still, Leo. 2.2 ::BE :=Horace: Glad to be sitting down. 2.2 ::BE :=Alexandra: Yes, but Mama will be mad if I don't tell her we're here. 2.2 ::BE :=Alexandra: all here? Why do they always have to be here? I was hoping Papa wouldn't have 2.2 ::BE :=Alexandra: have to see anybody, that it would be nice for him and quiet. 2.2 ::BE :=Addie: You'd be a better one if you didn't look so dirty. 2.2 ::BE :=Alexandra: Will you be all right, Papa? 2.2 ::BE :=Addie: are going on. Everybody going to be high-tone rich. Big rich. You too. All 2.2 ::BE :=Addie: I'm telling you. There's going to be a wedding -- Over my dead body there 2.2 ::BE :=Addie: ain't to get excited. You're going to be in your bed -- 2.2 ::BE :=Birdie: Oh. Tell Zan I'll be back in a little while. Sorry, Oscar. 2.2 ::BE :=Regina: You know, Horace, I wanted to come and be with you in the hospital, but I didn't 2.2 ::BE :=Horace: Caused my heart to be bad? I don't think that's the best scientific 2.2 ::BE :=Regina: us to fight this way. I didn't mean to be unpleasant. I was stupid. 2.2 ::BE :=Regina: to your beloved daughter. She'll be a very great heiress -- 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: done very well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything must be 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: be delayed any longer. Everything must be settled this week -- Now you must tell 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: must tell me Horace all about it. Only be quick because he is very tired and must 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: go to bed. But I think your news will be better for him than all the medicine in 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: know it can't wait. You know it must be finished this week. You've been just as 2.3 ::BE :=Ben: Sons many a good turn. Why shouldn't I be anxious to help him now? 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: I'll get mine in the end. You can be sure of that. I've got my son's future 2.3 ::BE :=Ben: There'll be no trouble from anybody, white or black. 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: putting it off this way. Oscar must be in Chicago by the end of the week with 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: Yes, sir. Got to be there end of the week. No sense going 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: ones who are rich enough to give will be smart enough to want. That means we'd 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: smart enough to want. That means we'd be working for them, don't it, Ben? 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: You can't do a thing. But there may be something I could do for us. Or, I might 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: true, son? Ain't it true you might be able to help your own kinfolks? 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: Would be kind enough to lend them to us. 2.3 ::BE :=Ben: When would your friend be wanting the bonds back? 2.3 ::BE :=Ben: Be still. 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: Leo will be taken care of? 2.3 ::BE :=Oscar: He didn't mean that. I only want to be sure he'll get something out of all t 2.3 ::BE :=Ben: going to Chicago tonight, so we can't be here for our usual Friday supper. 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: You hate to think that I'm going to be alive and have what I want. 2.3 ::BE :=Horace: tricks to make a dime. There must be better ways of getting rich than cheating 2.3 ::BE :=Horace: me. Maybe it's easy for the dying to be honest. But it's not my fault I'm dying. 2.3 ::BE :=Regina: you die. I hope you die soon. I'll be waiting for you to die. 3.1 ::BE :=Alexandra: can to out in the yard tomorrow. Don't be restless. 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: you could play the fiddle and you'd be much obliged if I'd play with you. I was 3.1 ::BE :=Addie: Come over here, Mr. Horace, and don't be thinking so much. A glass of elderberry 3.1 ::BE :=Alexandra: cakes, Addie. It's nice here. Just us. Be nice if it could always be this way. 3.1 ::BE :=Alexandra: Just us. Be nice if it could always be this way. 3.1 ::BE :=Addie: Well, it won't be that way long. Little while now, even 3.1 ::BE :=Addie: into place. The next day the smoke'll be pushing out the chimneys and by church 3.1 ::BE :=Addie: Sunday every human born of woman will be living on chicken. That's how Mr. Ben's 3.1 ::BE :=Cal: It'll be closed. Nobody'll be there but Mr. Manders, 3.1 ::BE :=Cal: It'll be closed. Nobody'll be there but Mr. Manders, Mr. Joe Horns, 3.1 ::BE :=Horace: Go in the back way. They'll be at the table, going over the day's business. 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: only go back to Lionnet. Everybody's be better there. They'd be good and kind. 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: Everybody's be better there. They'd be good and kind. I like people to be kind. 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: be good and kind. I like people to be kind. Don't you, Horace; don't you like 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: you, Horace; don't you like people to be kind? 3.1 ::BE :=Addie: That's no question for you to be asking. 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: Because in twenty years you'll just be like me. They'll do all the same things 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: day, then -- And that's the way you'll be. And you'll trail after them, just like 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: them, just like me, hoping they won't be so mean that day or say something to make 3.1 ::BE :=Birdie: to make you feel so bad -- only you'll be worse off because you haven't got my Mama 3.1 ::BE :=Horace: you didn't want Zan to hear? It would be nice to let her stay innocent, like Birdie 3.1 ::BE :=Horace: Pretty soon there'll be nobody to help her but you. 3.2 ::BE :=Regina: hold over their heads. How could they be such fools? 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: loan; they should be grateful to you. They will be, I thin 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: should be grateful to you. They will be, I think. 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: admit anything and Ben, I think, will be smart enough to see that he's safe. Because 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: will ever know what happened. They'll be around any minute to see what I am going 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: to see that word reached Leo. They'll be mighty relieved to know I'm going to do 3.2 ::BE :=Horace: a capital joke on you. And that will be the end of that. There's nothing you can 3.2 ::BE :=Regina: couldn't understand that anybody could be such a soft fool. That was when I began 3.2 ::BE :=Regina: Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again. 3.2 ::BE :=Regina: Be still, Cal. Bring him in here. 3.3 ::BE :=Leo: did this happen -- You'd think Papa'd be some place where you could find him. I 3.3 ::BE :=Oscar: Be still. 3.3 ::BE :=Ben: But for some reason, he doesn't seem to be talking, does he? 3.3 ::BE :=Oscar: bad? Wouldn't you think Sloan could be found quickly, just once, just once? 3.3 ::BE :=Ben: You shouldn't feel that way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It isn't as 3.3 ::BE :=Ben: that way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It isn't as bad -- 3.3 ::BE :=Ben: We'll be back with Sloan. 3.3 ::BE :=Regina: What do you say to that? Oh, don't be angry, Oscar. I'm going to see that he 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: they are with the Marshall. That will be enough. If it isn't, I'll add what's 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: You can be quite sure. 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: don't. Because by that time you'll be ruined. I shall also tell my story to 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: me, I think, and who will not want to be involved in your scandal. A respectable 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: Marshall and Company. The deal would be off in an hour. And you know it. Now I 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: tricks aren't as smart as they used to be. All right. I take it that's settled and 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: When you do, write me. I will be in Chicago. Ah, Ben, if Papa had only 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: Oh, yes. Certainly. You'll be sort of working for me now. 3.4 ::BE :=Ben: Alexandra, you're turning out to be a right interesting girl. Well, good night 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: It will be good for you to get away from here. Good 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: world for you the way I wanted it to be for me. Don't sit there staring. You've 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: Be good for you to get away from all thi 3.4 ::BE :=Addie: Miss Regina. He says Dr. Sloan will be coming in a few minutes. 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: calls tonight. The whole town will be over. 3.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: That would be foolish. It wouldn't work in the end. 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: end of my rope. Somewhere there has to be what I want, too. Life goes too fast. 3.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: and watch you do it. Tell him I'll be fighting as hard as he'll be fighting 3.4 ::BE :=Alexandra: him I'll be fighting as hard as he'll be fighting some place where people don't 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: were all sugar water. We don't have to be bad friends. I don't want us to be bad 3.4 ::BE :=Regina: to be bad friends. I don't want us to be bad friends, Alexandra. Would you like 1.4 ::BEAT :=Alexandra: He beat the horses. That's why we were late 1.4 ::BEATS :=Alexandra: wait until they cooled off. He always beats the horses as if -- 1.1 ::BEAUTIFUL :=Leo: Ben lets me drive the horses. And a beautiful pair they are. Come on, Zan. 1.1 ::BEAUTY :=Oscar: that worldliness is not a mark of beauty in any woman. 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: Mr. Marshall is very anxious to see it because of his father and the opera in Chicago. 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: Left drawer, Cal. Tell him that twice because he forgets. And tell him not to let 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: -- You must excuse me. I didn't get it because, well, because I had -- I -- I had 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: me. I didn't get it because, well, because I had -- I -- I had a little headache 1.1 ::BECAUSE :=Ben: there were thousands like them. Why? Because the Southern aristocrat can adapt 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: people and the right things to buy -- because I certainly don't now -- I shall 1.2 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: It's wicked to shoot food just because you like to shoot, when poor people 1.3 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: possibly, he may be keeping silent because he doesn't think he is getting enough 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Addie: high-tone rich. Big rich. You too. All because smoke's going to start out of a building 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Oscar: And how you feel? Tip-top, I bet, because that's the way you're looking. 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: Why? Because I wanted you home. You can't make 2.2 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: didn't ask about -- about your illness because I didn't want to remind you of it. 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: me Horace all about it. Only be quick because he is very tired and must go to bed. 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: you hadn't answered his letters because you didn't think he was offering 2.3 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: Because you're going to die and you know 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: party. He said Mama didn't like them because they kept a store, and he said that 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: He was kind to me and I thought it was because he liked me too. But that wasn't 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: Well, don't. Don't love me. Because in twenty years you'll just be like 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Birdie: so bad -- only you'll be worse off because you haven't got my Mama to remember 3.1 ::BECAUSE :=Cal: was mighty surprised with the message because he knows right well he brought the 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Horace: three days ago, on Wednesday it was, because I had made a decision -- 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Horace: Don't interrupt me again. Because I had made a decision, I sent for 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Horace: You won't do anything. Because you can't. It won't do you any good 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Horace: won't do you any good to make trouble because I shall simply say that I lent them 3.2 ::BECAUSE :=Horace: be smart enough to see that he's safe. Because I knew about the theft and said nothing. 3.3 ::BECAUSE :=Leo: Because Cal comes down to Manders and says 3.3 ::BECAUSE :=Leo: I was half crazy. I don't think so. Because Manders seemed kind of puzzled and 3.3 ::BECAUSE :=Ben: Just because he didn't lend them to me. Remember 3.3 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: I'm smiling, Ben. I'm smiling because you are quite safe while Horace lives. 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Regina: But I won't care much if they don't. Because by that time you'll be ruined. I 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Alexandra: talk about. I am going away from you. Because I want to. Because I know Papa would 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Alexandra: away from you. Because I want to. Because I know Papa would want me to. 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Alexandra: You couldn't, Mama, because I want to leave here. As I've never 3.4 ::BECAUSE :=Alexandra: wanted anything in my life before. Because now I understand what Papa was trying 2.2 ::BECOME :=Horace: much time to think before. And time's become valuable to me. 1.1 ::BED :=Addie: She like it right before she go to bed. Save a few little cakes, too, she like 1.4 ::BED :=Birdie: darling. Nothing happened. Now go to bed. Nothing happened. I only -- I only twisted 2.1 ::BED :=Regina: Really, Oscar, I don't tuck him in his bed and I don't take him out of it. Have 2.2 ::BED :=Alexandra: on him, and now he must go right to bed. 2.2 ::BED :=Addie: excited. You're going to be in your bed -- 2.2 ::BED :=Horace: You don't catch heart trouble in bed. 2.2 ::BED :=Regina: you might catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you say. 2.2 ::BED :=Horace: them that my wife has not wanted me in bed with her for -- How long is it, Regina? 2.3 ::BED :=Regina: he is very tired and must go to bed. But I think your news will be better 3.4 ::BED :=Regina: Well, I'm very tired. I shall go to bed. I don't want any supper. Put the lights 1.1 ::BEEN :=Oscar: You have been chattering to him like a magpie. You 1.1 ::BEEN :=Regina: Thank you, Mr. Marshall. We had been saving that bottle, hoping we could 1.1 ::BEEN :=Regina: husband isn't here to meet you. He's been very ill. He is at Johns Hopkins. But 1.1 ::BEEN :=Marshall: My information is that you people have been here, and solidly here, for a long 1.1 ::BEEN :=Ben: Oh, they have been made for us. And maybe they are important 1.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: Don't pretend. You're like a cat who's been licking the cream. Now we must all have 1.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: Birdie and I have just been planning what we want. I know what I 1.2 ::BEEN :=Oscar: You have been acting very childish, very excited, 1.3 ::BEEN :=Oscar: Still he never mentions it. Ben has been very patient, Regina. Naturally, you 1.3 ::BEEN :=Ben: money soon after. Regina, Horace has been in Baltimore for five months. I know 1.3 ::BEEN :=Ben: He is a shrewd trader. Always has been. The bank is proof of that. 2.1 ::BEEN :=Addie: I'm tired. I been up all night watching for them. 2.1 ::BEEN :=Regina: are you doing here so early? I haven't been down yet. I'm not finished dressing 2.1 ::BEEN :=Regina: in Atlanta, the train may have been delayed -- oh, a hundred things could 2.1 ::BEEN :=Oscar: What do I care who gets my share? I been shaved already. Serve Ben right if he 2.1 ::BEEN :=Oscar: Did you open the box? It may have been -- well, it may have been a good thing 2.1 ::BEEN :=Oscar: It may have been -- well, it may have been a good thing if you had. 2.1 ::BEEN :=Ben: Regina. That cousin of Horace's has been dead for years and, in any case, the 2.2 ::BEEN :=Horace: How are you, Addie? How have you been? 2.2 ::BEEN :=Addie: I'm all right, Mr. Horace. I've just been worried about you. 2.2 ::BEEN :=Horace: Well, it's just as if I had never been away. All of you here -- 2.2 ::BEEN :=Birdie: Oh, I would have been here. I didn't know you were back until 2.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: Well. Here we are. It's been a long time. Five months. You know, 2.2 ::BEEN :=Horace: what's all this crazy talk I've been hearing about Zan and Leo? Zan and Leo 2.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: Oscar quiet in all this business I've been writing you about -- 2.2 ::BEEN :=Horace: as I live. As long as I live. I've been in a hospital for five months. Yet since 2.2 ::BEEN :=Horace: for five months. Yet since I've been here you have not once asked me about 2.3 ::BEEN :=Regina: will see what I've done while you've been away. How I watched your interests. 2.3 ::BEEN :=Regina: it must be finished this week. You've been just as anxious for Horace to get here 2.3 ::BEEN :=Regina: anxious for Horace to get here as I've been. 2.3 ::BEEN :=Ben: I suppose I have been. And why not? Horace has done Hubbard 2.3 ::BEEN :=Ben: I'll make it quick. You know what I've been telling you for years. How I've always 2.3 ::BEEN :=Ben: -- right beyond our finger tips. It's been my dream: my dream to make those fingers 2.3 ::BEEN :=Horace: Please, Regina, it's been a hard trip. I don't feel well. Please 2.3 ::BEEN :=Horace: when you and Ben cross swords. I've been waiting for it for years. 3.1 ::BEEN :=Alexandra: It's too bad it's been raining all day, Papa. But you can to 3.1 ::BEEN :=Birdie: Hasn't he been here yet? 3.1 ::BEEN :=Addie: on chicken. That's how Mr. Ben's been telling the story. 3.1 ::BEEN :=Addie: what Mr. Ben orders. There ain't been so much talk around here since Sherman's 3.1 ::BEEN :=Birdie: papa don't like to admit it, but he's been mighty kind to me all these years. Often 3.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: Oh, I think you do. Well, we haven't been very good together. Anyway, I don't 3.2 ::BEEN :=Regina: so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've always been lucky. I'll be lucky again. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Leo: some place where you could find him. I been chasing him all afternoon. 3.3 ::BEEN :=Leo: Papa, I've been looking all over town for you and Uncle 3.3 ::BEEN :=Leo: Will you listen to me, please? I been looking for you for -- 3.3 ::BEEN :=Leo: I been trying to tell you. I been trying to 3.3 ::BEEN :=Leo: I been trying to tell you. I been trying to find you for an hour -- 3.4 ::BEEN :=Regina: me. Don't sit there staring. You've been around Birdie so much you're getting 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Addie: a little for her. She like it right before she go to bed. Save a few little cakes, 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Leo: grandfather was governor of the state before the war. 1.1 ::BEFORE :=Marshall: afternoon. I have only a few minutes before I must leave for the train. And I 1.2 ::BEFORE :=Regina: Yes. You said that before, Oscar. 1.2 ::BEFORE :=Oscar: Yes. I never heard that before. 1.2 ::BEFORE :=Ben: Nobody's ever heard it before. God forgives those who invent what 1.3 ::BEFORE :=Regina: I should fight his battles for him, before he came home. Horace is a very sick 1.3 ::BEFORE :=Regina: But before she brings him home, I want to know 1.3 ::BEFORE :=Oscar: I've asked before: where is this extra share coming 1.4 ::BEFORE :=Alexandra: I wanted to go before, Mama. You remember that. But you 2.1 ::BEFORE :=Regina: breakfast alone. I hate chattering before I've had something hot. Do be still, 2.2 ::BEFORE :=Horace: strong it had to stain the cup. Addie, before I see anybody else, I want to know 2.2 ::BEFORE :=Horace: I never had much time to think before. And time's become valuable to me 2.2 ::BEFORE :=Horace: I wanted to do it before I came here. I was thinking about 3.1 ::BEFORE :=Birdie: never seen all the Hubbards together before, and you know what a ninny I am and 3.1 ::BEFORE :=Cal: 'Bout ten minutes before it's five. 3.2 ::BEFORE :=Horace: Before you do I want to tell you that after 3.2 ::BEFORE :=Regina: had I'd have known that you would die before I would. But I couldn't have known 3.3 ::BEFORE :=Leo: I can put it back. I can put it back before anybody knows. 3.3 ::BEFORE :=Ben: like that. He's come through attacks before. He will now. 3.4 ::BEFORE :=Alexandra: I've never wanted anything in my life before. Because now I understand what Papa 3.2 ::BEGAN :=Regina: be such a soft fool. That was when I began to despise you. 1.2 ::BEGINNING :=Ben: Yes, sir. It's beginning to look as if the deal's all set. 1.3 ::BEGINNING :=Oscar: It's beginning to look as if he doesn't want to 2.3 ::BEGINNING :=Horace: Leo? Oh, I see. I am beginning to see. Everybody will get the 3.4 ::BEGINNING :=Ben: for us. After all this is just the beginning. There are hundreds of Hubbards 3.4 ::BEHAVE :=Regina: bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, I've forgotten that we 1.2 ::BEING :=Regina: Can't you tell when you're being admired? 1.2 ::BEING :=Regina: Did he? He seems a lonely man. Imagine being lonely with all that money. I don't 1.2 ::BEING :=Regina: times. And once he made fun of her being so social and high- tone. But that 1.2 ::BEING :=Regina: tone. But that fits in all right. Her being social, I mean. She can introduce me. 1.3 ::BEING :=Ben: My, my. I am being attacked tonight on all sides. First 1.3 ::BEING :=Ben: brother. And I ain't a man who likes being attacked. I can't believe that God 1.3 ::BEING :=Oscar: You're both being very gay with my money. 2.3 ::BEING :=Leo: to Uncle Horace's share. I'd enjoy being a partner -- 3.3 ::BEING :=Ben: you a good-looking woman gets more by being soft and appealing? Mama used to tell 1.1 ::BELIEVE :=Birdie: He wasn't bored. I don't believe he was bored. He's a very educated, 1.1 ::BELIEVE :=Birdie: cultured gentleman. I just don't believe it. You always talk like that when 1.1 ::BELIEVE :=Birdie: I don't believe he was bored. I just don't believe 1.1 ::BELIEVE :=Birdie: believe he was bored. I just don't believe it. Some people like music and like 1.1 ::BELIEVE :=Marshall: are simple: I want to make money and I believe I'll make it on you. Mind you, I 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Ben: So you believe he has deliberately held out? For 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Ben: out? For a larger share? Well, I don't believe it. But I do believe that's what 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Ben: Well, I don't believe it. But I do believe that's what you want. Am I right, 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Oscar: Listen. I don't believe you can even get Horace to come home, 1.3 ::BELIEVE :=Ben: man who likes being attacked. I can't believe that God wants the strong to parade 2.1 ::BELIEVE :=Leo: on a string, and, and -- nobody'd believe this -- a piece of an old violin. 2.2 ::BELIEVE :=Regina: to remind you of it. Anyway I never believe doctors when they talk about -- when 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Horace: I believe you. Now I can understand Oscar's 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Oscar: She always has. Maybe. But I don't believe it. I never did believe he was going 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Oscar: But I don't believe it. I never did believe he was going in with us. 2.3 ::BELIEVE :=Regina: a ghost arrive with the money? I don't believe you. Come back here. Come back here, 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Horace: They believe it that way? 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Addie: Believe it? They use to believing what Mr. 3.1 ::BELIEVE :=Alexandra: to pretend we are not here. We make believe we are just by ourselves, some place 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Regina: Do you think I'm crazy enough to believe what you're saying? 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Horace: Believe anything you like. 3.2 ::BELIEVE :=Regina: I don't believe it. 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Ben: I don't believe that. 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Leo: You don't believe it? What do I care what you believe? 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Leo: believe it? What do I care what you believe? I do the dirty work and then -- 3.3 ::BELIEVE :=Leo: Lent them to me! Who's going to believe that? 3.2 ::BELIEVED :=Regina: But you believed it. I couldn't understand that. 3.1 ::BELIEVING :=Addie: Believe it? They use to believing what Mr. Ben orders. There ain't 3.3 ::BELL :=Leo: Hello. Never saw any use ringing a bell when a door was open. If you are going 3.3 ::BELL :=Leo: was open. If you are going to ring a bell, then somebody should answer it. Aunt 1.1 ::BELLE :=Addie: Did she? Well, see that Belle saves a little for her. She like it 2.2 ::BELLE :=Addie: Ring for Belle and have her help you and then I'll 3.2 ::BELONG :=Horace: replaced your bonds, and then they'll belong to you and nobody but us will ever 1.1 ::BELONGED :=Marshall: together. Kept together and kept what belonged to you. 1.1 ::BELONGED :=Ben: kept together and have not kept what belonged to them. 2.1 ::BELONGED :=Ben: to have taste anymore. If she hadn't belonged to Mama, I'd send her off to the 1.1 ::BELONGS :=Marshall: You don't call this keeping what belongs to you? 1.1 ::BELONGS :=Ben: wife is the only one of us who belongs to the Southern aristocracy. 1.1 ::BELONGS :=Ben: make a long story short, Lionnet now belongs to us. Twenty years ago we took over 2.2 ::BELOVED :=Regina: to all of us. Important to your beloved daughter. She'll be a very great 1.1 ::BEN :=Oscar: Your uncle Ben means that worldliness is not a mark 1.1 ::BEN :=Leo: Of course, Uncle Ben. I didn't mean -- 1.1 ::BEN :=Regina: Here with me? Oh, no. My brother Ben lives next door. My brother Oscar and 1.1 ::BEN :=Leo: Yes, sir. Not often Uncle Ben lets me drive the horses. And a beautiful 1.1 ::BEN :=Alexandra: May I drive tonight, Uncle Ben, please? I'd like to and -- 1.2 ::BEN :=Oscar: What do you mean, Ben? 1.2 ::BEN :=Oscar: You understand what Ben means? 1.2 ::BEN :=Regina: know what I want. What will you want, Ben? 1.2 ::BEN :=Regina: won't even have to learn to be subtle, Ben. Stay as you are. You will be rich and 1.2 ::BEN :=Regina: What did you say, Ben? 1.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: local position allows us to manage. Ben means that two hundred and twenty- five 1.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: Ben means that we are ready with our two-thirds 1.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: I mean, doesn't seem to be ready. Ben has written to Horace, I have written, 1.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: urgency. Still he never mentions it. Ben has been very patient, Regina. Naturally, 1.3 ::BEN :=Regina: to go out of the family. That right, Ben? 1.3 ::BEN :=Regina: I don't want to fight, Ben -- 1.4 ::BEN :=Regina: Good night, Ben. Good night, Oscar -- Don't be so glum, 2.1 ::BEN :=Oscar: Where's Ben? 2.1 ::BEN :=Oscar: my share? I been shaved already. Serve Ben right if he had to give away some of 2.1 ::BEN :=Oscar: you got to think of yourself. Morning, Ben. 2.2 ::BEN :=Horace: Hello, Ben. 2.2 ::BEN :=Regina: down here a few minutes longer? I want Ben to tell you something. 2.3 ::BEN :=Regina: Ben, are you finished breakfast? 2.3 ::BEN :=Regina: don't know that in the last few days Ben has agreed to give us -- you, I mean 2.3 ::BEN :=Regina: I explained to Ben that perhaps you hadn't answered his 2.3 ::BEN :=Horace: better about Regina next time, eh, Ben? Now let's see. We're getting a bigger 2.3 ::BEN :=Horace: You can save a little money that way, Ben. And make them hate each other just a 2.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: we'd be working for them, don't it, Ben? 2.3 ::BEN :=Alexandra: Mama -- Mama -- don't . . . Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! Please go up. Please 2.3 ::BEN :=Alexandra: Mama -- Mama -- don't . . . Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! Please go up. Please 2.3 ::BEN :=Alexandra: Uncle Ben! Please go up. Please make Mama stop. Uncle Ben, he's sick, he's so 2.3 ::BEN :=Alexandra: Go on up, Uncle Ben, please -- 2.3 ::BEN :=Horace: It's a great day when you and Ben cross swords. I've been waiting for it 3.1 ::BEN :=Alexandra: No. Neither has Uncle Ben since -- since that day. 3.1 ::BEN :=Addie: it? They use to believing what Mr. Ben orders. There ain't been so much talk 3.1 ::BEN :=Birdie: cotton on Lionnet's fields was better. Ben Hubbard wanted the cotton and Oscar Hubbard 3.2 ::BEN :=Regina: you talking about? You haven't seen Ben -- When did you change your mind? 3.2 ::BEN :=Horace: son Leo had stolen for him. And for Ben, of course, too. 3.2 ::BEN :=Horace: After my death I advise you to talk to Ben and Oscar. They won't admit anything 3.2 ::BEN :=Horace: Oscar. They won't admit anything and Ben, I think, will be smart enough to see 3.2 ::BEN :=Horace: to know I'm going to do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital joke on you. 3.2 ::BEN :=Regina: -- Papa died and left the money to Ben and Oscar. 3.3 ::BEN :=Leo: But when -- You seen Mr. Oscar or Mr. Ben? Answer me, will you? 3.3 ::BEN :=Leo: all over town for you and Uncle Ben -- 3.3 ::BEN :=Oscar: Ben -- What -- Do you think he's seen the 3.3 ::BEN :=Cal: I don't know, Mr. Ben. He was bad. 3.3 ::BEN :=Leo: me? Why not to you? Why not to Uncle Ben? 3.3 ::BEN :=Regina: It's not a pleasant story. I feel bad, Ben, naturally. I hadn't thought -- 3.3 ::BEN :=Regina: I'm smiling, Ben. I'm smiling because you are quite safe 3.4 ::BEN :=Alexandra: Did you love him, Uncle Ben? 3.4 ::BEN :=Regina: You're getting old, Ben. Your tricks aren't as smart as they 3.4 ::BEN :=Regina: You're a good loser, Ben. I like that. 3.4 ::BEN :=Regina: write me. I will be in Chicago. Ah, Ben, if Papa had only left me his money. 3.4 ::BEN :=Alexandra: watched them do it. And just now Uncle Ben said the same thing. Really, he said 1.2 ::BEN'S :=Regina: Our future. Yours and mine, Ben's and Oscar's, the children -- Our future! 2.1 ::BEN'S :=Leo: to be here last night -- Bet you Uncle Ben's mighty worried. Seventy-five thousand 3.1 ::BEN'S :=Addie: be living on chicken. That's how Mr. Ben's been telling the story. 1.3 ::BENEFIT :=Oscar: you are our sister and we want you to benefit from anything we do. 3.2 ::BENEFIT :=Regina: are you playing now? Is this for my benefit? 1.3 ::BENEFITS :=Oscar: dollars besides offering him certain benefits that our local position allows us 1.3 ::BESIDES :=Oscar: and twenty-five thousand dollars besides offering him certain benefits that 2.3 ::BESIDES :=Horace: you have to promise Marshall Company besides the money you're putting up? 1.1 ::BEST :=Cal: guest, she tell him that you make the best frozen fruit cream in all the South 1.1 ::BEST :=Ben: Lionnet in its day was the best cotton land in the South. It still brings 1.1 ::BEST :=Ben: even when I can remember. They had the best of everything. Cloth from Paris, trips 1.2 ::BEST :=Oscar: climate. Fine shooting on Jekyll, the best. 1.4 ::BEST :=Regina: the judge of his condition. It's the best possible cure for him to come home and 2.2 ::BEST :=Horace: They did their best. 2.2 ::BEST :=Horace: to be bad? I don't think that's the best scientific theory. You don't catch heart 2.2 ::BEST :=Horace: Well, we'll try our best with each other. 2.3 ::BEST :=Regina: Please. You've said we'll try our best with each other. I'll try. Really, I 2.3 ::BEST :=Horace: I'm sorry. But I must do what I think best. We'll talk about it another day. 2.3 ::BEST :=Oscar: Nothing. You done your almighty best. Nobody could blame you if the whole 1.1 ::BET :=Cal: changes orders like that you can bet your dime she got her reason. 2.1 ::BET :=Cal: Yes, sir. I bet you. Simon he say you had a mighty good 2.1 ::BET :=Cal: Bet you got enough bobwhite and squirrel 2.1 ::BET :=Cal: since the cotton picking was over. Bet they'd give anything for a little piece 2.1 ::BET :=Leo: Supposed to be here last night -- Bet you Uncle Ben's mighty worried. Seventy-five 2.1 ::BET :=Leo: not looking at all that. You can bet if I had the bonds, I'd watch 'em like 2.1 ::BET :=Leo: Horace will have some tales to tell, I bet. Baltimore is a lively town. 2.2 ::BET :=Alexandra: I bet Mama was worried. I better tell her we're 2.2 ::BET :=Horace: Addie, I bet your coffee's as good as ever. They don't 2.2 ::BET :=Oscar: And how you feel? Tip-top, I bet, because that's the way you're looki 1.1 ::BETTER :=Birdie: Me, young? Maybe you better find Simon and tell him to do it himself. 1.1 ::BETTER :=Addie: Better ask Mama. 1.1 ::BETTER :=Marshall: No one ever had their first taste of a better port. Well, I suppose it is all true, 1.1 ::BETTER :=Marshall: a unique position in America. You live better than the rest of us, you eat better, 1.1 ::BETTER :=Marshall: better than the rest of us, you eat better, you drink better. I wonder you find 1.1 ::BETTER :=Marshall: rest of us, you eat better, you drink better. I wonder you find time, or want to 1.1 ::BETTER :=Regina: be home soon. We think he is getting better now. 1.1 ::BETTER :=Birdie: people. Everybody knew that. We were better to them than -- 1.2 ::BETTER :=Ben: with men whose word over a glass is better than a bond. Anyway it don't hurt 1.3 ::BETTER :=Ben: done. You ought to take these things better, Oscar. I've made you money in the 1.4 ::BETTER :=Oscar: She'd better learn now. She's almost old enough 2.2 ::BETTER :=Alexandra: I bet Mama was worried. I better tell her we're here now. 2.2 ::BETTER :=Addie: You'd be a better one if you didn't look so dirty. Now 2.2 ::BETTER :=Leo: I'm fine, sir. But a lot better now that you're back. 2.2 ::BETTER :=Birdie: Now that you're home, you'll feel better. Plenty of good rest and we'll take 2.2 ::BETTER :=Horace: as usual. Let's try to get along better. There isn't so much more time. Regina, 2.2 ::BETTER :=Horace: of Oscar's? Whatever it is, you had better put it out of Oscar's head immediately. 2.3 ::BETTER :=Regina: to bed. But I think your news will be better for him than all the medicine in the 2.3 ::BETTER :=Horace: know about each other! But you'll know better about Regina next time, eh, Ben? Now 2.3 ::BETTER :=Ben: Sometimes it is better to wait for the sun to rise again. 2.3 ::BETTER :=Oscar: I could do for us. Or, I might better say, Leo could do for us. Ain't that 2.3 ::BETTER :=Horace: tricks to make a dime. There must be better ways of getting rich than cheating 3.1 ::BETTER :=Birdie: go back to Lionnet. Everybody's be better there. They'd be good and kind. I 3.1 ::BETTER :=Birdie: and the cotton on Lionnet's fields was better. Ben Hubbard wanted the cotton and 3.1 ::BETTER :=Alexandra: I see. Papa, I mean -- when you feel better couldn't we go away? I mean, by ourselves. 3.3 ::BETTER :=Regina: I don't think you had better go yet. I think you had better stay 3.3 ::BETTER :=Regina: you had better go yet. I think you had better stay and sit down. 3.4 ::BETTER :=Ben: people laugh and some people cry. It's better to cry, Alexandra. 1.2 ::BETWEEN :=Regina: be a nigger or a millionaire. In between, like us, what for? But I'm not going 2.3 ::BEYOND :=Ben: businessmen had great things -- right beyond our finger tips. It's been my dream: 3.1 ::BIBLE :=Addie: eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. Then there are people 1.1 ::BIG :=Birdie: gave her the signed program and the big picture. Mr. Marshall wants to see that. 1.3 ::BIG :=Oscar: You are talking very big tonight. 1.3 ::BIG :=Oscar: get money from him or talk quite so big about what you want. 2.1 ::BIG :=Oscar: share in the mill, you and me. A fine, big share, too. Well, a man can't be shot 2.1 ::BIG :=Leo: and went over to Baltimore. It was so big we thought we were in Europe. I was just 2.2 ::BIG :=Addie: I don't know. All I know is big things are going on. Everybody going 2.2 ::BIG :=Addie: Everybody going to be high-tone rich. Big rich. You too. All because smoke's going 3.1 ::BIG :=Birdie: I remember. It was my first big party, at Lionnet I mean, and I was so 3.1 ::BIG :=Birdie: Mama laughing. Mama always laughed. A big party, a lovely dress from Mr. Worth 1.3 ::BIGGER :=Regina: just might say, I want more, I want a bigger share. You boys have done that. I've 2.3 ::BIGGER :=Horace: Ben? Now let's see. We're getting a bigger share. Who's getting less? 3.1 ::BILLS :=Horace: there's seventeen hundred dollars bills. It's money left from my trip. It's 3.1 ::BILLS :=Addie: Seventeen hundred dollar bills! My God, Mr. Horace, I won't know how 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Addie: You look pretty this evening, Miss Birdie, and young. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Birdie. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Never mind about the album. Miss Birdie has changed her mind. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Sit down, Birdie. Sit down now. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Don't be stubborn, Birdie. Mr. Marshall wants you to play. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Why, Birdie. You aren't playing. 1.1 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Oh, certainly, Birdie. A famous soldier. 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: And there, Birdie, goes the man who has opened the door 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: future! You were charming at supper, Birdie. Mr. Marshall certainly thought s 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Don't look so scared about everything, Birdie I'm going to live in Chicago. I've 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: There'll be millions, Birdie, millions. You know what I've always 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: for? But I'm not going away tomorrow, Birdie. There's plenty of time to worry about 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: we'll really have them. Make a wish, Birdie, any wish. It's bound to come true 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Birdie and I have just been planning what 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: take a few trips here and there, eh, Birdie? 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: it. Make a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change of climate. Fine shooting 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: like a thousand. You are modest, Birdie. 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Ben: That's a pretty picture, Birdie. Might be a most pleasant way to live. 1.2 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: What is it, Birdie? What are you saying? 1.3 ::BIRDIE :=Ben: am waiting for you to finish. You and Birdie. Four conversations are three too 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: night. You should have come, Aunt Birdie. 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Good night, Birdie. 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: I don't understand about my going, Aunt Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home again. 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: Marry? To Leo? I wouldn't marry, Aunt Birdie. I've never even thought about it 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: That's foolish, Aunt Birdie. I'm grown now. Nobody can make me 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Birdie. Birdie, get your hat and coat. 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Birdie. Birdie, get your hat and coat. 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: All right. Good night, Aunt Birdie. Good night, Uncle Oscar. Aunt Birdie! 1.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: Birdie. Good night, Uncle Oscar. Aunt Birdie! What happened? What happened? I 2.2 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: How's Aunt Birdie? Is she here? 2.2 ::BIRDIE :=Horace: I was just wondering where you were, Birdie. 2.2 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: Birdie, what a thing to say -- 2.2 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: the square dressed that way? My dear Birdie, I -- 2.2 ::BIRDIE :=Oscar: Birdie! 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Horace: What, Birdie? 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Horace: Birdie, when did Oscar get back from Chi 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Addie: Miss Birdie, that elderberry going to give you 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Birdie: and said, "Look, I've frightened Birdie out of the hiccoughs." And so she 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Horace: Yes, Birdie. 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie, why did you marry Uncle Oscar? 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Addie: Miss Birdie, don't -- 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Addie: Rest a bit, Miss Birdie. You get talking like this you'll 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: doesn't seem to work. Come now, Aunt Birdie, I'll walk you home. You and me. 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Addie: Well. First time I ever heard Miss Birdie say a word. Maybe it's good for her. 3.1 ::BIRDIE :=Horace: be nice to let her stay innocent, like Birdie at her age. Let her listen now. Let 3.4 ::BIRDIE :=Regina: sit there staring. You've been around Birdie so much you're getting just like 3.4 ::BIRDIE :=Alexandra: Funny. That's what Aunt Birdie said today. 1.1 ::BIRDIE'S :=Ben: Who was not an aristocrat, like Birdie's. 1.1 ::BIRDIE'S :=Ben: important distinctions. Now you take Birdie's family. When my great-grandfather 1.1 ::BIRDIE'S :=Ben: Hubbard Sons, Merchandise. Others, Birdie's family, for example, looked down 3.1 ::BIRDIE'S :=Birdie: when they want to hide it, they say, "Birdie's got a headache again" -- 1.2 ::BIRDS :=Birdie: much. I don't like to see animals and birds killed just for the killing. You only 2.2 ::BISCUIT :=Oscar: Don't stand there holding that biscuit in your hand. 1.1 ::BIT :=Ben: give him something here. That's every bit as true for the nigger picking cotton 3.1 ::BIT :=Addie: Rest a bit, Miss Birdie. You get talking like this 2.3 ::BLACK :=Ben: be no trouble from anybody, white or black. Marshall said to me. "What about strikes? 2.3 ::BLAME :=Oscar: done your almighty best. Nobody could blame you if the whole thing just dripped 2.1 ::BLINDS :=Oscar: thing at this time of the morning. Blinds all closed. Where's Miss Regina? It's 1.1 ::BLUE :=Birdie: drawer, Cal, and tell him to bring the blue book and -- 1.2 ::BLUE :=Birdie: red-feather plush. And the figs and blue little plums and the scuppernongs -- 2.1 ::BOBWHITE :=Cal: Bet you got enough bobwhite and squirrel to give every nigger 2.2 ::BODY :=Addie: going to be a wedding -- Over my dead body there is. 1.2 ::BOND :=Ben: word over a glass is better than a bond. Anyway it don't hurt to have both. 2.1 ::BONDS :=Leo: thousand worth of Union Pacific bonds sitting right in his safe deposit box. 2.1 ::BONDS :=Oscar: this fancy house. Yes, he's had those bonds for fifteen years. Bought them when 2.1 ::BONDS :=Leo: things in that box! There's all those bonds, looking mighty fine. Then right next 2.1 ::BONDS :=Leo: at all that. You can bet if I had the bonds, I'd watch 'em like -- 2.1 ::BONDS :=Leo: Natural enough. But I haven't got the bonds and Uncle Horace has. And now he can 2.1 ::BONDS :=Oscar: likes you well enough to lend you the bonds if he decides not to use them hims 2.1 ::BONDS :=Leo: had your breakfast! Lend me the bonds! My God -- 2.1 ::BONDS :=Oscar: laugh when I say he could lend you the bonds if he's not going to use them himself. 2.3 ::BONDS :=Oscar: thousand dollars in Union Pacific bonds. Leo's friend don't look at the bonds 2.3 ::BONDS :=Oscar: bonds. Leo's friend don't look at the bonds much -- not for five or six months 2.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: friend would -- would lend him these bonds and he -- 2.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: When would your friend be wanting the bonds back? 2.3 ::BONDS :=Oscar: us five months. Leo will return the bonds in three months. And we'll have no 2.3 ::BONDS :=Oscar: are going up. Will Marshall accept the bonds? 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: dollars' worth of Union Pacific bonds in that safe-deposit box. They are 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: and look. Go and look, Regina. Those bonds are as negotiable as money. 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: a decision, I sent for the box. The bonds were gone. Eighty-eight thousand dollars 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: Leo took the bonds. 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: went to Chicago? Well, he went with my bonds that his son Leo had stolen for him. 3.2 ::BONDS :=Regina: When did you find out the bonds were gone? 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: I'm going to let them keep the bonds -- as a loan from you. An eighty-eight-thousand-dollar 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: shall simply say that I lent them the bonds. 3.2 ::BONDS :=Regina: I see. You are going to lend them the bonds and let them keep all the profit they 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: thousand dollars in Union Pacific bonds. The rest will go to Zan. It's true 3.2 ::BONDS :=Horace: they will probably have replaced your bonds, and then they'll belong to you and 3.3 ::BONDS :=Leo: Uncle Horace knows about the bonds. He knows about them. He's had the 3.3 ::BONDS :=Leo: I'm telling you he knows about the bonds. Ain't that clear enough -- 3.3 ::BONDS :=Leo: heard me. Uncle Horace knows about the bonds. He's known since Wednesday. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: -- He's no fool. Does Manders know the bonds are missing? 3.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: know, you're to say he lent you the bonds. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: No, I don't. Horace told me about the bonds this afternoon. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Leo: The bonds. What do you mean? What bonds? What 3.3 ::BONDS :=Leo: The bonds. What do you mean? What bonds? What -- 3.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: The Union Pacific bonds? Horace's Union Pacific bonds? 3.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: Pacific bonds? Horace's Union Pacific bonds? 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: He said that Leo had stolen the bonds and given them to you. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: He told me that Leo had stolen the bonds. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: was alive to say he had lent you the bonds. 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: least, are willing to admit that the bonds were stolen? 3.3 ::BONDS :=Ben: Now you shall have the bonds safely back. That was the understanding, 3.3 ::BONDS :=Regina: per cent in exchange for the bonds. 3.4 ::BONDS :=Regina: None. I won't need any. The bonds are missing and they are with the Marshall. 3.4 ::BONDS :=Regina: I have forgotten that you ever saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave 1.3 ::BONE :=Oscar: years I've worked my hands to the bone for you. For thirty-five years I've 2.3 ::BONES :=Horace: I give you the money? To pound the bones of this town to make dividends for 1.1 ::BOOK :=Birdie: Cal, and tell him to bring the blue book and -- 1.1 ::BORED :=Oscar: I can't think he came South to be bored with you. 1.1 ::BORED :=Birdie: He wasn't bored. I don't believe he was bored. He's 1.1 ::BORED :=Birdie: He wasn't bored. I don't believe he was bored. He's a very educated, cultured gentleman. 1.1 ::BORED :=Birdie: I don't believe he was bored. I just don't believe it. Some people 1.2 ::BORED :=Birdie: Oscar said I bored Mr. Marshall. But he admired you. He 1.1 ::BORING :=Regina: You are boring Mr. Marshall with these ancient family 2.3 ::BORN :=Leo: Like the niggers always say: a man born of a woman can't build nothing high 3.1 ::BORN :=Addie: by church time that Sunday every human born of woman will be living on chicken. 3.1 ::BORN :=Addie: You ain't born in the South unless you're a fool. 3.3 ::BORROW :=Ben: and he's obviously willing to let us borrow it. Learn to make threats when you 3.2 ::BORROWED :=Horace: Zan. It's true that your brothers have borrowed your share for a little while. After 1.2 ::BOTH :=Ben: a bond. Anyway it don't hurt to have both. 1.3 ::BOTH :=Oscar: You're both being very gay with my money. 3.4 ::BOTH :=Regina: saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, I've forgotten that 1.1 ::BOTTLE :=Cal: Miss Regina told me to get out that bottle. That very bottle for the mighty honored 1.1 ::BOTTLE :=Cal: me to get out that bottle. That very bottle for the mighty honored guest. When 1.1 ::BOTTLE :=Regina: Mr. Marshall. We had been saving that bottle, hoping we could open it just for 2.2 ::BOTTLE :=Addie: when I ain't old enough to hold a bottle of medicine? You feel all right, Mr. 2.2 ::BOTTLE :=Alexandra: take once every four hours. And the bottle only when -- only if he feels very 3.1 ::BOTTLE :=Birdie: the back and Mama with the elderberry bottle, laughing at me. Everybody was on 3.2 ::BOTTLE :=Horace: Please. Tell Addie -- The other bottle is upstairs. Addie! Addie! Come - 2.1 ::BOUGHT :=Oscar: had those bonds for fifteen years. Bought them when they were low and just locked 3.1 ::BOUGHT :=Birdie: niggers and cheating them on what they bought. She was very angry, Mama was. I had 1.2 ::BOUND :=Regina: Make a wish, Birdie, any wish. It's bound to come true now. 1.2 ::BOW :=Birdie: at her feet." He said the ladies would bow to your manners and the gentlemen to 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: sitting right in his safe deposit box. All he's got to do is open the box. 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: box. All he's got to do is open the box. 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: Yeah. Just has to open the box and take them out. That's all. Easy as 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: as easy can be. The things in that box! There's all those bonds, looking mighty 2.1 ::BOX :=Oscar: How do you know what's in the box, son? 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: keys and, and -- well, took the box out. Then they all asked me if I wanted 2.1 ::BOX :=Leo: but then I made them close up the box quick and I told them never -- 2.1 ::BOX :=Oscar: to be angry with you. Did you open the box yourself? 2.1 ::BOX :=Oscar: with their eyes. Did you open the box? 2.1 ::BOX :=Oscar: Did you open the box? It may have been -- well, it may have 2.1 ::BOX :=Oscar: he wouldn't even miss them out of the box. 2.3 ::BOX :=Leo: Right now. They're in the safe-deposit box and -- 3.1 ::BOX :=Horace: over the day's business. See that box? 3.1 ::BOX :=Horace: much obliged to him for bringing the box, it arrived all right. 3.1 ::BOX :=Cal: He know you got the box. He bring it himself Wednesday. I opened 3.1 ::BOX :=Cal: just going to say you obliged for the box coming all right. I ain't going to understand 3.1 ::BOX :=Cal: he thank you mightily for the safe box arriving in good shape and he say you 3.1 ::BOX :=Cal: Mr. Leo jump up and say to me, "What box? What you talking about?" 3.1 ::BOX :=Cal: he knows right well he brought the box -- But he took it all right. Some men 3.2 ::BOX :=Horace: Pacific bonds in that safe-deposit box. They are not there now. Go and look. 3.2 ::BOX :=Horace: I don't look in that box very often, but three days ago, on Wednesday 3.2 ::BOX :=Horace: I had made a decision, I sent for the box. The bonds were gone. Eighty-eight thousand 3.2 ::BOX :=Horace: daughter, took the keys and opened the box. You remember that the day of the fight 3.3 ::BOX :=Leo: He knows about them. He's had the box since Wednesday -- 3.3 ::BOX :=Leo: Cal comes down to Manders and says the box came O.K. and -- 3.3 ::BOX :=Ben: There's the box. You ass. Put it down. What are you going 1.1 ::BOY :=Ben: Fill them up, boy, fill them up. Down here, sir, we have 1.3 ::BOY :=Regina: I was opposed to it. But Leo is a wild boy. There were those times when he took 2.1 ::BOY :=Oscar: his son get on in the world, can he, boy? 1.1 ::BOYS :=Birdie: I want you to get one of the kitchen boys to run home for me. He's to look in 1.3 ::BOYS :=Regina: want more, I want a bigger share. You boys have done that. I've heard you say 1.4 ::BOYS :=Ben: to the railroad ticket. One of the boys will bring it over. Good night, everybody. 2.1 ::BOYS :=Leo: The boys in the bank don't know a thing. They 2.1 ::BOYS :=Leo: You told me to find out if the boys at the bank had any message from Uncle 2.1 ::BOYS :=Leo: Oh, well. Well, er. Well, one of the boys, sir. It was one of the boys at the 2.1 ::BOYS :=Leo: of the boys, sir. It was one of the boys at the bank. He took old Manders' keys. 2.1 ::BOYS :=Leo: When I was at school three of the boys and myself took a train once and went 2.3 ::BOYS :=Horace: to say he made the thousands and you boys would make the millions. I think he 2.3 ::BOYS :=Horace: We'll just sit by and watch the boys grow rich. How's everything at the bank, 3.4 ::BOYS :=Regina: ever saw the bonds. And as long as you boys both behave yourselves, I've forgotten 2.2 ::BREAK :=Alexandra: medicine. I'll hold it. It mustn't break. Now, about the stuff outside. Papa 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Cal: Mr. Leo. You gentlemen having your breakfast with us here? 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Oscar: Mighty late breakfast in this fancy house. Yes, he's 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Leo: it must be that you haven't had your breakfast! Lend me the bonds! My God -- 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Regina: Then you haven't had your breakfast. Come along. 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Regina: people dying. Now I intend to eat my breakfast in peace, and read my newspape 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Ben: This is second breakfast for me. My first was bad. Celia 2.1 ::BREAKFAST :=Regina: I find it very pleasant to have breakfast alone. I hate chattering before 2.2 ::BREAKFAST :=Addie: They're all in there eating breakfast. 2.2 ::BREAKFAST :=Addie: you and then I'll make you a fresh breakfast. 2.2 ::BREAKFAST :=Leo: Oh, well. I'll just finish my breakfast, Uncle Horace, and then I'll give 2.2 ::BREAKFAST :=Regina: Why don't you go finish your breakfast and let Horace rest for a minu 2.3 ::BREAKFAST :=Regina: Ben, are you finished breakfast? 1.1 ::BRICK :=Marshall: No, I've never heard of anything but brick houses on a lake, and cotton mills 1.2 ::BRICKS :=Ben: to drink, I closed my eyes and saw the bricks going into place. 1.2 ::BRICKS :=Oscar: don't know. The pleasure of seeing the bricks grow will be enough for me. 1.2 ::BRICKS :=Ben: greatest pleasure will be to see the bricks grow. But we are all entitled to a 1.2 ::BRICKS :=Regina: to leave you and Oscar to count the bricks. 3.1 ::BRICKS :=Addie: even sitting here, you'll hear the red bricks going into place. The next day the 1.1 ::BRING :=Birdie: look in my desk, the left drawer, and bring my music album right away. Mr. Marshall 1.1 ::BRING :=Birdie: things drop out of the album and to bring it right in here when he comes bac 1.1 ::BRING :=Birdie: Left drawer, Cal, and tell him to bring the blue book and -- 1.1 ::BRING :=Marshall: May I bring you a glass of port, Mrs. Hubbard? 1.1 ::BRING :=Oscar: us who have struggled and fought to bring to our land some of the prosperity 1.1 ::BRING :=Ben: To bring the machine to the cotton, and not 1.4 ::BRING :=Regina: going to Baltimore in the morning to bring your father home. 1.4 ::BRING :=Alexandra: of it, he'll be back home again. We'll bring him home. 1.4 ::BRING :=Ben: railroad ticket. One of the boys will bring it over. Good night, everybody. Have 2.1 ::BRING :=Addie: baby like that go all the way alone to bring home a sick man without -- 2.1 ::BRING :=Oscar: I told you if they had a message to bring it here. I told you that if they didn't 2.2 ::BRING :=Horace: long is it, Regina? Ten years? Did you bring me home for this, to make me feel guilty 2.3 ::BRING :=Ben: lucky man. For thirty years I've cried bring the cotton mills to the cotton. Well, 3.1 ::BRING :=Cal: He know you got the box. He bring it himself Wednesday. I opened the 3.1 ::BRING :=Horace: to come over here after supper, and to bring Mr. Sol Fowler with him. 3.1 ::BRING :=Cal: He's to come after supper and bring Mr. Sol Fowler, your attorney-at-law, 3.1 ::BRING :=Cal: right after supper to his house and bring Mr. Attorney-at-law Sol Fowler with 3.2 ::BRING :=Regina: Be still, Cal. Bring him in here. 3.3 ::BRING :=Leo: Manders should come here tonight and bring Sol Fowler with him. I guess that don't 3.4 ::BRING :=Regina: go to your room, Alexandra. Addie will bring you something hot. You look very tired. 3.1 ::BRINGING :=Horace: says he's much obliged to him for bringing the box, it arrived all right. 1.1 ::BRINGS :=Ben: cotton land in the South. It still brings us in a fair crop. Ah, they were great 1.3 ::BRINGS :=Regina: But before she brings him home, I want to know what he's 1.1 ::BROTHER :=Regina: Here with me? Oh, no. My brother Ben lives next door. My brother Oscar 1.1 ::BROTHER :=Regina: no. My brother Ben lives next door. My brother Oscar and his family live in the 1.1 ::BROTHER :=Oscar: My brother always says that it's folks like 1.3 ::BROTHER :=Ben: sides. First by my sister, then by my brother. And I ain't a man who likes being 2.3 ::BROTHER :=Horace: You wreck the town, you and your brother, you wreck the town and live on it. 3.1 ::BROTHER :=Birdie: in Paris, France, and hiccoughs. My brother pounding me on the back and Mama 3.1 ::BROTHER :=Birdie: see him from the window -- and my brother, to tease Mama, said maybe we should 1.1 ::BROTHER'S :=Ben: But we are not aristocrats. Our brother's wife is the only one of us who 1.1 ::BROTHERS :=Regina: I hope you don't find my brothers too obvious, Mr. Marshall. I'm afraid 2.3 ::BROTHERS :=Regina: bargaining for you and convinced my brothers they weren't the only Hubbards who 2.3 ::BROTHERS :=Horace: sick of my life here. I'm sick of your brothers and their dirty tricks to make a 3.2 ::BROTHERS :=Horace: will go to Zan. It's true that your brothers have borrowed your share for a little 3.3 ::BROTHERS :=Regina: to you as a present from me -- to my brothers. He said there was nothing I could 3.4 ::BROTHERS :=Regina: that wouldn't weep for a woman whose brothers steal from her. And you couldn't 3.4 ::BROTHERS :=Oscar: do anything like that! We're your own brothers. How can you talk that way when 3.1 ::BROUGHT :=Birdie: and me. It was the first time Oscar brought me here to supper. I had never seen 3.1 ::BROUGHT :=Cal: message because he knows right well he brought the box -- But he took it all right. 2.2 ::BRUSHING :=Addie: fresh dress and give your hair a good brushing -- go on -- 2.2 ::BUGGY :=Birdie: were back until Simon said he saw the buggy. Oh, you don't look well, Horace. No, 3.3 ::BUGGY :=Addie: over at the Ballongs. Hitch the buggy and go get him. Go on. 3.3 ::BUGGY :=Ben: Where the hell is Sloan? Take the buggy and -- 2.3 ::BUILD :=Leo: say: a man born of a woman can't build nothing high enough for the Missis 2.2 ::BUILDING :=Addie: smoke's going to start out of a building that ain't even up yet. 2.3 ::BUILDING :=Leo: caused it. Thought they were building the levees high enough. Like the 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Marshall: find time, or want to find time, to do business. 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Marshall: And all of you are part of the same business? Hubbard Sons? 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Ben: an important point -- for our future business partner. 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Regina: ladies to leave the gentlemen to talk business. 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Ben: say a plain thing. A man ain't only in business for what he can get out of it. It's 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Marshall: here, and I want it here. It isn't my business to find out why you want it. 1.1 ::BUSINESS :=Marshall: reasons. They are mighty valuable in business. It's fine to have partners who 1.2 ::BUSINESS :=Ben: had his signature. But we've all done business with men whose word over a glass 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Oscar: He answers. But he never mentions this business. Yet we have explained it to him 1.3 ::BUSINESS :=Regina: I don't know. That's not my business. But perhaps it could come off your 1.4 ::BUSINESS :=Alexandra: Mind your business. I can guess the kind of things 2.1 ::BUSINESS :=Ben: when I am getting ready to close a business deal and one of my partners remains 2.2 ::BUSINESS :=Regina: way of keeping Oscar quiet in all this business I've been writing you about -- 2.2 ::BUSINESS :=Horace: What has Zan to do with any business of Oscar's? Whatever it is, you 2.3 ::BUSINESS :=Horace: Is this the mill business I've had so many letters about? 2.3 ::BUSINESS :=Regina: weren't the only Hubbards who had a business sense. 2.3 ::BUSINESS :=Regina: Mind your business, Alexandra. How much longer can 3.1 ::BUSINESS :=Horace: be at the table, going over the day's business. See that box? 3.3 ::BUSINESS :=Ben: don't think I'm dismissing this other business. I'm not. We'll have it all out 1.3 ::BUSINESSMAN :=Regina: to you that Horace is also a good businessman? 2.3 ::BUSINESSMEN :=Ben: that every one of us little Southern businessmen had great things -- right beyond 3.2 ::BUSY :=Regina: to get. Everybody in this house was so busy and there was so little place for what 1.1 ::BUT :=Cal: Yes'm. But Simon he won't get it right. But I'll 1.1 ::BUT :=Cal: Yes'm. But Simon he won't get it right. But I'll tell him. 1.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: But, really, Oscar. Really I promised Mr. 1.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: But, Oscar, Mr. Marshall said most specially 1.1 ::BUT :=Regina: noisiest, dirtiest city in the world but I should still prefer it to the sound 1.1 ::BUT :=Marshall: In Chicago? Oh, I suppose so. But I can tell you this: I've never dined 1.1 ::BUT :=Leo: But one must go to Mobile for the ladies, 1.1 ::BUT :=Ben: But we are a very close family. We've always 1.1 ::BUT :=Regina: been very ill. He is at Johns Hopkins. But he will be home soon. We think he is 1.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: Thank you, dear. But I have my headache now. I -- 1.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: But I'd like to, sir. Very much. 1.1 ::BUT :=Ben: But we are not aristocrats. Our brother's 1.1 ::BUT :=Marshall: No, I've never heard of anything but brick houses on a lake, and cotton m 1.1 ::BUT :=Ben: But when the war comes these fine gentlemen 1.1 ::BUT :=Ben: But that isn't the tale I am telling Mr. 1.1 ::BUT :=Ben: It is difficult to learn new ways. But maybe that's why it's profitable. Our 1.1 ::BUT :=Regina: won't stay over with us, Mr. Marshall, but you'll come again. Any time you like 1.1 ::BUT :=Alexandra: But Leo always -- 1.2 ::BUT :=Birdie: Oscar said I bored Mr. Marshall. But he admired you. He told me so. 1.2 ::BUT :=Regina: of her being so social and high- tone. But that fits in all right. Her being social, 1.2 ::BUT :=Birdie: But Horace won't be able to move around. 1.2 ::BUT :=Regina: In between, like us, what for? But I'm not going away tomorrow, Birdie. 1.2 ::BUT :=Ben: all set. I may not be a subtle man -- but -- Now somebody ask me how I know the 1.2 ::BUT :=Ben: need. I already had his signature. But we've all done business with men whose 1.2 ::BUT :=Ben: will be to see the bricks grow. But we are all entitled to a little side 1.2 ::BUT :=Birdie: Lionnet back. I know you own it now, but I'd like to see it fixed up again, the 1.2 ::BUT :=Oscar: But what about Alexandra? She's seventeen. 1.2 ::BUT :=Regina: Certainly. But there'll be plenty of money. You have 1.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: and you have written. He answers. But he never mentions this business. Yet 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: the share you were saving for me. But that would give you a strange partner. 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: partners sometimes want a great deal. But perhaps it would be wise for you to find 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: But we haven't heard from Horace. 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: Oh, it was enough. I took your word. But I've got to have more than your word 1.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: But he's only putting up a third of the money. 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: a third you should only get a third. But then again, there's no law about it, 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: share? Well, I don't believe it. But I do believe that's what you want. Am 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: I shouldn't like to be too definite. But I could say that I wouldn't like to persuade 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: I don't know. That's not my business. But perhaps it could come off your share, 1.3 ::BUT :=Birdie: Well, of course she wants him here, but he's sick and maybe he's happy where 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: But before she brings him home, I want to 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: that's not pretty, Regina, not pretty. But we need you, and I don't want to fight. 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: the strong to parade their strength, but I don't mind doing it if it's got to 1.3 ::BUT :=Regina: I haven't said I was opposed to it. But Leo is a wild boy. There were those times 1.3 ::BUT :=Ben: All right, so there are. But please assure Oscar that you will think 1.4 ::BUT :=Regina: she's not getting married tomorrow. But she is going to Baltimore tomorrow, so 1.4 ::BUT :=Alexandra: to go before, Mama. You remember that. But you said you couldn't go, and that I 1.4 ::BUT :=Regina: But your are doing this for Papa's own good. 1.4 ::BUT :=Alexandra: about my going, Aunt Birdie. But anyway, Papa will be home again. Don't 1.4 ::BUT :=Birdie: He's my son. My own son. But you are more to me -- more to me than 1.4 ::BUT :=Birdie: But they have thought about it. Zan, I couldn't 1.4 ::BUT :=Alexandra: But I'm not going to marry. And I'm certainly 2.1 ::BUT :=Oscar: women are all right in their place, but now isn't their place. You got to realize 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: But you don't want outsiders. 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: But he hasn't listened to Aunt Regina yet, 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: too. So I looked a little, I guess, but then I made them close up the box quick 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: that don't excuse me for looking -- but I did make him close it up and put the 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: Nobody was in the bank when I did it. But -- 2.1 ::BUT :=Leo: No, he can't. Natural enough. But I haven't got the bonds and Uncle Horace 2.1 ::BUT :=Oscar: he hasn't lifted his hand to get. But I can't help thinking he's acting strange. 2.1 ::BUT :=Oscar: if he's not going to use them himself. But would it hurt him? 2.1 ::BUT :=Oscar: People ought to help other people. But that's not always the way of happens. 2.1 ::BUT :=Oscar: Oh, that too. Who could help but worry? I'm worried. This is the first 2.2 ::BUT :=Alexandra: Yes, but Mama will be mad if I don't tell her 2.2 ::BUT :=Horace: fetch me home. She's tried to tell me, but she doesn't seem to know herself. 2.2 ::BUT :=Leo: I'm fine, sir. But a lot better now that you're back. 2.2 ::BUT :=Birdie: and we'll take such fine care of you. But where is Zan? I missed her so much. 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: come and be with you in the hospital, but I didn't know where my duty was. Here, 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: where my duty was. Here, or with you. But you know how much I wanted to come. 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: Oh, but there was. Five months lying there all 2.2 ::BUT :=Horace: when I heard the news about myself -- but after I got used to that, I liked it 2.2 ::BUT :=Horace: That's not the way to put it. But there I was and I got kind of used to 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: But there's no need to talk about it now 2.2 ::BUT :=Horace: again? That means you want something. But you'll not make me feel guilty any more. 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: Horace, Horace, I know you're tired but, but -- couldn't you stay down here a 2.2 ::BUT :=Regina: Horace, I know you're tired but, but -- couldn't you stay down here a few 2.3 ::BUT :=Regina: And I've done very well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything 2.3 ::BUT :=Regina: he is very tired and must go to bed. But I think your news will be better for 2.3 ::BUT :=Regina: But you don't know that in the last few days 2.3 ::BUT :=Horace: little people know about each other! But you'll know better about Regina next 2.3 ::BUT :=Horace: can understand Oscar's self-sacrifice, but what did you have to promise Marshall 2.3 ::BUT :=Ben: a mountain white or a town nigger but wouldn't give his right arm for three 2.3 ::BUT :=Horace: are disappointed, Regina, I'm sorry. But I must do what I think best. We'll talk 2.3 ::BUT :=Ben: to talk to him today. He's a sick man, but he isn't a crazy one. 2.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: But just suppose he is crazy. What then? 2.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: his mind. She always has. Maybe. But I don't believe it. I never did believe 2.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: our fingers. You can't do a thing. But there may be something I could do for 2.3 ::BUT :=Leo: Oh, that's right. But I -- not till Fall. Uncle Horace never 2.3 ::BUT :=Ben: I could wait until next week. But I can't wait until next week. I could 2.3 ::BUT :=Ben: I can't wait until next week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, I must 2.3 ::BUT :=Horace: it's easy for the dying to be honest. But it's not my fault I'm dying. I'll do 3.1 ::BUT :=Alexandra: bad it's been raining all day, Papa. But you can to out in the yard tomorrow. 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: But Oscar was in such a good humor when he 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: But we didn't play together after that night. 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: -- your papa don't like to admit it, but he's been mighty kind to me all these 3.1 ::BUT :=Cal: It'll be closed. Nobody'll be there but Mr. Manders, Mr. Joe Horns, and Mr. Leo 3.1 ::BUT :=Cal: right. I ain't going to understand it, but I'm going to say it. 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: She said she was old-fashioned, but not that way. She said she was old-fashioned 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: it was because he liked me too. But that wasn't the reason -- Ask why he 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: what he married me for. Everybody but me. Stupid, stupid me. 3.1 ::BUT :=Birdie: Oh, a little, like today with you all. But never a single, whole day. I say to myself, 3.1 ::BUT :=Horace: trying to show her that. I'm trying, but I've only got a little time left. She 3.1 ::BUT :=Horace: soon there'll be nobody to help her but you. 3.1 ::BUT :=Horace: me a nice will. They'll make trouble, but you make Zan stand firm and Fowler'll 3.1 ::BUT :=Horace: I know. But upstairs in the armoire drawer there's 3.1 ::BUT :=Cal: knows right well he brought the box -- But he took it all right. Some men take everything 3.1 ::BUT :=Addie: But that's Miss Regina coming back. 3.2 ::BUT :=Horace: I don't look in that box very often, but three days ago, on Wednesday it was, 3.2 ::BUT :=Horace: I wasn't there but I can guess what happened. This fine 3.2 ::BUT :=Horace: But I'm not going to hold it over their 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: I see. You are punishing me. But I won't let you punish me. If you won't 3.2 ::BUT :=Horace: then they'll belong to you and nobody but us will ever know what happened. They'll 3.2 ::BUT :=Horace: I was in love with you. But why did you marry me? 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: Yes, I thought -- But I was wrong. You were a small-town clerk 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: But you believed it. I couldn't understand 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: for this. This wasn't what I wanted, but it was something. I never thought about 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: I never thought about it much but if I had I'd have known that you would 3.2 ::BUT :=Regina: that you would die before I would. But I couldn't have known that you would 3.3 ::BUT :=Leo: Uncle Horace -- What -- What happened? But when -- You seen Mr. Oscar or Mr. Ben? 3.3 ::BUT :=Leo: But what's the matter with him? When did 3.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: But he was all right -- 3.3 ::BUT :=Ben: what I mean. For some reason he knows, but he don't say a word. 3.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: But we got to find out -- 3.3 ::BUT :=Oscar: But when did it happen? 3.3 ::BUT :=Ben: Yes, he might have told her. But they weren't on such pretty terms and 3.3 ::BUT :=Leo: But all he has to do is say he didn't lend 3.3 ::BUT :=Ben: But for some reason, he doesn't seem to be 3.3 ::BUT :=Regina: So I'm very badly off, you see. But Horace said there was nothing I could 3.3 ::BUT :=Regina: you are quite safe while Horace lives. But I don't think Horace will live. And if 3.4 ::BUT :=Regina: I know what you feel, Alexandra, but please try to control yourself. 3.4 ::BUT :=Regina: was I? Well, they'll convict you. But I won't care much if they don't. Because 3.4 ::BUT :=Ben: get what I want. Then I don't get it. But I'm not discouraged. The century's turning, 3.4 ::BUT :=Ben: All their names aren't Hubbard, but they are all Hubbards and they will own 3.4 ::BUT :=Ben: I have no answer. But maybe some day I will. Maybe never, but 3.4 ::BUT :=Ben: maybe some day I will. Maybe never, but maybe some day. When I do I'll let you 3.4 ::BUT :=Regina: I know that. And you loved Papa, but you must have expected this to come some 3.4 ::BUT :=Regina: want. I'd like to keep you with me, but I won't make you stay. Too many people 3.1 ::BUTTER :=Addie: Nothing for. I had the fresh butter, so I made the cakes, and a little 1.2 ::BUY :=Regina: right people and the right things to buy -- because I certainly don't now -- I 1.2 ::BUY :=Regina: don't now -- I shall go to Paris and buy them. I'm going to leave you and Oscar 3.1 ::BUY :=Birdie: their horses and he was going there to buy. He passed and lifted his hat -- we could 1.2 ::BUYING :=Oscar: is for sale. We might think about buying it. Make a nice change. Do you good, 1.1 ::BY :=Ben: the cotton right. Money isn't all. Not by three shots. 1.3 ::BY :=Ben: attacked tonight on all sides. First by my sister, then by my brother. And I ain't 1.3 ::BY :=Ben: on all sides. First by my sister, then by my brother. And I ain't a man who likes 1.4 ::BY :=Addie: Going alone? Going by herself? A child that age! Mr. Horace 1.4 ::BY :=Addie: going to like Zan traipsing up there by herself. 2.1 ::BY :=Oscar: Thursday night, and they haven't come by Friday morning. 2.2 ::BY :=Regina: there was. Five months lying there all by yourself, no kinfolks, no friends. Don't 2.3 ::BY :=Ben: know. Cheap wages. "What do you mean by cheap wages?" I say to Marshall. "Less 2.3 ::BY :=Ben: averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By God," I tell him, "I'd work for eight 2.3 ::BY :=Horace: enough money, Regina. We'll just sit by and watch the boys grow rich. How's everything 2.3 ::BY :=Regina: off this way. Oscar must be in Chicago by the end of the week with the money and 3.1 ::BY :=Addie: be pushing out the chimneys and by church time that Sunday every human born 3.1 ::BY :=Alexandra: better couldn't we go away? I mean, by ourselves. Couldn't we find a way to go 3.1 ::BY :=Birdie: a lie they tell for me. I drink. All by myself, in my own room, by myself, I drink. 3.1 ::BY :=Birdie: drink. All by myself, in my own room, by myself, I drink. Then, when they want 3.1 ::BY :=Alexandra: not here. We make believe we are just by ourselves, some place else, and it doesn't 3.2 ::BY :=Horace: That's right. And by that time they will probably have replaced 3.3 ::BY :=Ben: you a good-looking woman gets more by being soft and appealing? Mama used to 3.4 ::BY :=Regina: won't care much if they don't. Because by that time you'll be ruined. I shall also 3.1 ::CAKE :=Alexandra: Have a cake, Cal. 1.1 ::CAKES :=Addie: she go to bed. Save a few little cakes, too, she like -- 3.1 ::CAKES :=Addie: I had the fresh butter, so I made the cakes, and a little elderberry does the stomach 3.1 ::CAKES :=Alexandra: Good cakes, Addie. It's nice here. Just us. Be 1.1 ::CAL :=Birdie: Oh, Cal. I want you to get one of the kitchen 1.1 ::CAL :=Birdie: there and listen and -- Left drawer, Cal. Tell him that twice because he forgets. 1.1 ::CAL :=Birdie: Left drawer, Cal, and tell him to bring the blue book 2.1 ::CAL :=Oscar: Cal, if I catch a nigger in this town going 3.1 ::CAL :=Horace: Tell Cal to get on his things. I want him to go 3.1 ::CAL :=Alexandra: Have a cake, Cal. 3.1 ::CAL :=Horace: What time is it, Cal? 3.1 ::CAL :=Cal: the door to him and he say, "Hello, Cal, coming on to summer weather." 3.1 ::CAL :=Horace: Now, Cal. 3.2 ::CAL :=Regina: I'll get Cal to take you upstairs. 3.2 ::CAL :=Regina: Horace. Horace. Addie! Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. Come 3.2 ::CAL :=Regina: Be still, Cal. Bring him in here. 3.3 ::CAL :=Leo: Aunt Regina. Addie. Where the hell -- Cal! Cal! 3.3 ::CAL :=Leo: Regina. Addie. Where the hell -- Cal! Cal! 3.3 ::CAL :=Leo: Because Cal comes down to Manders and says the box 3.3 ::CAL :=Ben: How is he, Cal? 3.3 ::CAL :=Regina: Cal has gone for him. I don't want you to 3.4 ::CAL :=Addie: Cal is back, Miss Regina. He says Dr. Sloan 1.1 ::CALL :=Marshall: You don't call this keeping what belongs to you? 1.1 ::CALL :=Ben: Some people call that patriotism. 3.4 ::CALL :=Regina: something hot. You look very tired. Call me when Dr. Sloan gets here. I don't 3.4 ::CALLS :=Regina: else. I don't want any condolence calls tonight. The whole town will be ov 1.1 ::CAME :=Oscar: him be for a second. I can't think he came South to be bored with you. 1.1 ::CAME :=Ben: family. When my great-grandfather came here they were the highest-tone plantation 1.3 ::CAME :=Regina: fight his battles for him, before he came home. Horace is a very sick man. And 2.2 ::CAME :=Horace: anybody else, I want to know why Zan came to fetch me home. She's tried to tell 2.2 ::CAME :=Horace: I wanted to do it before I came here. I was thinking about us. 2.2 ::CAME :=Horace: God knows I didn't either. I came home wanting so much not to fight, and 3.1 ::CAME :=Horace: I know it would come some day. It came. 3.1 ::CAME :=Alexandra: It came. It certainly came all right. 3.1 ::CAME :=Alexandra: It came. It certainly came all right. 3.3 ::CAME :=Leo: comes down to Manders and says the box came O.K. and -- 3.4 ::CAME :=Ben: Seems like yesterday when he first came here. 2.1 ::CAMEO :=Leo: a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- nobody'd believe 1.1 ::CAN :=Cal: Regina changes orders like that you can bet your dime she got her reason. 1.1 ::CAN :=Birdie: a good supper! Just as good as good can be. 1.1 ::CAN :=Marshall: In Chicago? Oh, I suppose so. But I can tell you this: I've never dined there 1.1 ::CAN :=Ben: days for those people -- even when I can remember. They had the best of everything. 1.1 ::CAN :=Ben: Why? Because the Southern aristocrat can adapt himself to nothing. Too high-tone 1.1 ::CAN :=Ben: man ain't only in business for what he can get out of it. It's got to give him something 1.2 ::CAN :=Regina: right. Her being social, I mean. She can introduce me. It won't take long with 1.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: well keep him from answering letters, can they? They couldn't keep him from arranging 1.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: when he hears it. He knows that we can make twice the profit on cotton goods 1.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: on cotton goods manufactured here than can be made in the North. 1.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: Listen. I don't believe you can even get Horace to come home, much less 1.3 ::CAN :=Regina: Oh, I can get him home. 1.3 ::CAN :=Ben: Stop this foolish squabbling. How can you get him home? 1.4 ::CAN :=Leo: Weren't those fine clothes he had? You can always spot clothes made in a good place. 1.4 ::CAN :=Alexandra: Mind your business. I can guess the kind of things you could d 1.4 ::CAN :=Alexandra: be home again. Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. Really I can. 1.4 ::CAN :=Alexandra: I can take care of myself. Really I can. 1.4 ::CAN :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie. I'm grown now. Nobody can make me do anything. 2.1 ::CAN :=Leo: them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that box! There's all 2.1 ::CAN :=Leo: Imagine not looking at all that. You can bet if I had the bonds, I'd watch 'em 2.1 ::CAN :=Oscar: to see his son get on in the world, can he, boy? 2.1 ::CAN :=Leo: bonds and Uncle Horace has. And now he can just sit back and wait to be a milli 2.2 ::CAN :=Horace: Nothing can make much difference now. Get me a cup, 2.2 ::CAN :=Regina: make anything suspicious out of that, can you? 2.3 ::CAN :=Ben: Can I get you something? 2.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: I'll get mine in the end. You can be sure of that. I've got my son's future 2.3 ::CAN :=Horace: I believe you. Now I can understand Oscar's self-sacrifice, but 2.3 ::CAN :=Horace: them off against each other. You can save a little money that way, Ben. And 2.3 ::CAN :=Ben: like explained. Tomorrow will do. I can -- 2.3 ::CAN :=Ben: partner than our sister. How soon can you get them? 2.3 ::CAN :=Ben: Good. Draw a check for our part. You can take the night train for Chicago. Well, 2.3 ::CAN :=Ben: You would? You can go to hell, you little -- 2.3 ::CAN :=Alexandra: Mama stop. Uncle Ben, he's sick, he's so sick. How can Mama talk to him like that 2.3 ::CAN :=Alexandra: How can you treat Papa like this? He's sick. 2.3 ::CAN :=Regina: business, Alexandra. How much longer can you wait for the money? 2.3 ::CAN :=Regina: to make him. What's the longest you can wait now? 2.3 ::CAN :=Regina: Wait, you -- How can he to go to Chicago? Did a ghost arrive 3.1 ::CAN :=Alexandra: been raining all day, Papa. But you can to out in the yard tomorrow. Don't be 3.1 ::CAN :=Horace: Yes, I can understand that. 3.1 ::CAN :=Birdie: the reason -- Ask why he married me. I can tell you that: he's told it to me often 3.1 ::CAN :=Horace: I've only got a little time left. She can even hate me when I'm dead, if she'll 3.1 ::CAN :=Addie: What can I do? 3.1 ::CAN :=Addie: How can I do that? Do you think they'd let me 3.2 ::CAN :=Horace: I wasn't there but I can guess what happened. This fine gentleman, 3.2 ::CAN :=Regina: make on them, and there is nothing I can do about it. Is that right? 3.2 ::CAN :=Horace: the end of that. There's nothing you can do to them, nothing you can do to me 3.2 ::CAN :=Horace: you can do to them, nothing you can do to me. 3.3 ::CAN :=Leo: I can put it back. I can put it back before 3.3 ::CAN :=Leo: I can put it back. I can put it back before anybody knows. 3.3 ::CAN :=Ben: How is he? Can we -- can we go up? 3.3 ::CAN :=Ben: How is he? Can we -- can we go up? 3.3 ::CAN :=Oscar: we should go up? Is there anything we can do for Horace -- 3.3 ::CAN :=Ben: You shouldn't feel that way. It can all be explained, all be adjusted. It 3.3 ::CAN :=Ben: anything you like, Regina. And now we can stop all this and say good-bye to you. 3.3 ::CAN :=Ben: it. Learn to make threats when you can carry them through. For how many years 3.4 ::CAN :=Regina: You can be quite sure. 3.4 ::CAN :=Oscar: that! We're your own brothers. How can you talk that way when upstairs not five 3.4 ::CAN :=Regina: that we ever talked about them. You can draw up the necessary papers tomorro 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: You haven't let him be for a second. I can't think he came South to be bored with 1.1 ::CAN'T :=Ben: Paris, trips to Europe, horses you can't raise any more, niggers to lift their 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Regina: Can't you tell when you're being admired 1.2 ::CAN'T :=Birdie: you really might go? Oh, Regina, you can't leave here. What about Horace? 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Regina: Of course he wants to come home. You can't move around with heart trouble at any 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: They can't very well keep him from answering letters, 1.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: a man who likes being attacked. I can't believe that God wants the strong to 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: A fine, big share, too. Well, a man can't be shot for wanting to see his son 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Leo: No, he can't. Natural enough. But I haven't got 2.1 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: hasn't lifted his hand to get. But I can't help thinking he's acting strange. 2.2 ::CAN'T :=Horace: now. Get me a cup, Addie. Funny. They can't make coffee up north. They don't like 2.2 ::CAN'T :=Regina: Why? Because I wanted you home. You can't make anything suspicious out of that, 2.2 ::CAN'T :=Horace: Well, I suppose they've written you. I can't live very long. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Regina: I've done very well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything must 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Regina: What an old faker you are! You know it can't wait. You know it must be finished 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Regina: We can't keep putting it off this way. Oscar 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Leo: always say: a man born of a woman can't build nothing high enough for the 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: away right through our fingers. You can't do a thing. But there may be something 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: I could wait until next week. But I can't wait until next week. I could but I 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: wait until next week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, I must go now. 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, I must go now. I'm very late 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: is going to Chicago tonight, so we can't be here for our usual Friday suppe 2.3 ::CAN'T :=Regina: the money. How could you have it? You can't have -- You will wait until I -- 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Horace: I'll fix it so they can't stop you when you're ready to go. You'll 3.1 ::CAN'T :=Cal: life, I wipe my hands right after. Can't help doing it. Well, while I'm wiping 3.2 ::CAN'T :=Horace: You won't do anything. Because you can't. It won't do you any good to make trouble 3.3 ::CAN'T :=Oscar: Don't you understand? It can't do no harm to say it -- 3.3 ::CAN'T :=Ben: drive out for Sloan ourselves. If we can't find him we'll go over to Senateville 3.4 ::CAN'T :=Regina: There are people who can't go back, who must finish what they 3.2 ::CAPITAL :=Horace: do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital joke on you. And that will be the 1.3 ::CARE :=Regina: a very sick man. And even if you don't care how sick he is, I do. 1.4 ::CARE :=Regina: cure for him to come home and be taken care of here. He mustn't stay there any longer 1.4 ::CARE :=Alexandra: Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself. Really I can. 2.1 ::CARE :=Oscar: What do I care who gets my share? I been shaved already. 2.2 ::CARE :=Birdie: of good rest and we'll take such fine care of you. But where is Zan? I missed her 2.3 ::CARE :=Oscar: Leo will be taken care of? 2.3 ::CARE :=Ben: Of course. We'll take care of him. We won't have any trouble about 3.2 ::CARE :=Horace: see what I am going to do. I took good care to see that word reached Leo. They'll 3.3 ::CARE :=Leo: You don't believe it? What do I care what you believe? I do the dirty work 3.4 ::CARE :=Regina: Well, they'll convict you. But I won't care much if they don't. Because by that 1.4 ::CAREFUL :=Ben: Were you careful driving the horses? 1.1 ::CARRIAGE :=Oscar: We'll see you to the carriage. 2.2 ::CARRY :=Addie: Since when you got to carry your own valises? Since when I ain't 3.3 ::CARRY :=Ben: it. Learn to make threats when you can carry them through. For how many years have 2.1 ::CARTER :=Ben: Old Carter died up in Senateville. Eighty-one 1.2 ::CARTER'S :=Ben: a long time I've had my good eyes on Carter's in Savannah. A rich man's pleasure, 1.3 ::CASE :=Regina: like once they get their hands on a case like this -- 2.1 ::CASE :=Ben: has been dead for years and, in any case, the train does not go through Sava 2.3 ::CASES :=Leo: The paper says twenty-seven cases of yellow fever in New Orleans. Guess 1.2 ::CAT :=Regina: like it! Don't pretend. You're like a cat who's been licking the cream. Now we 2.1 ::CATCH :=Oscar: Cal, if I catch a nigger in this town going shooting, 2.2 ::CATCH :=Horace: the best scientific theory. You don't catch heart trouble in bed. 2.2 ::CATCH :=Regina: you did. I only thought you might catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you 3.1 ::CAUSE :=Cal: Leo say he got to leave a little early cause he got something to do. And then Mr. 2.2 ::CAUSED :=Regina: What do the doctors think caused your bad heart? 2.2 ::CAUSED :=Horace: Caused my heart to be bad? I don't think 2.3 ::CAUSED :=Leo: in New Orleans. Guess the flood-waters caused it. Thought they were building the 1.2 ::CAUTION :=Ben: Caution. Don't count the chickens. Well, 1.2 ::CELEBRATE :=Regina: cream. Now we must all have a drink to celebrate. 1.4 ::CELERY :=Ben: food on the train is very good. The celery is so crisp. Have a good time and 2.1 ::CELIA :=Ben: breakfast for me. My first was bad. Celia ain't the cook she used to be. Too 1.3 ::CENT :=Oscar: it's like this. For forty-nine per cent Marshall will put up four hundred thousand 1.3 ::CENT :=Oscar: thousand dollars. For fifty-one per cent -- a controlling interest, mind you, 1.3 ::CENT :=Ben: I'll do: I'll give Horace forty per cent, instead of the thirty-three and a third 3.3 ::CENT :=Regina: live I shall want seventy-five per cent in exchange for the bonds. 3.4 ::CENT :=Regina: house. I'll take my seventy-five per cent and we'll forget the story forever. 3.4 ::CENTURY'S :=Ben: get it. But I'm not discouraged. The century's turning, the world is open. Open 1.3 ::CERTAIN :=Oscar: thousand dollars besides offering him certain benefits that our local position 1.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: Oh, certainly, Birdie. A famous soldier. 1.2 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: at supper, Birdie. Mr. Marshall certainly thought so. 1.2 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: the right things to buy -- because I certainly don't now -- I shall go to Paris 1.2 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: Certainly. And you won't even have to learn 1.2 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: Certainly. But there'll be plenty of money. 1.3 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: Yes. I certainly would. 1.3 ::CERTAINLY :=Ben: Certainly. He is a shrewd trader. Always 1.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: you'd like going alone. At your age it certainly would have delighted me. You're 1.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Alexandra: But I'm not going to marry. And I'm certainly not going to marry Leo. 2.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Oscar: Then something certainly has happened. People don't just 3.1 ::CERTAINLY :=Alexandra: It came. It certainly came all right. 3.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Oscar: Certainly, I -- What a strange thing to ask! 3.4 ::CERTAINLY :=Regina: Oh, yes. Certainly. You'll be sort of working for 2.2 ::CHAIR :=Alexandra: outside. Papa must have his wheel chair. I'll get that and the valises -- 3.4 ::CHAIR :=Ben: Alexandra. What is a man in a wheel chair doing on a staircase? I ask myself 1.3 ::CHANCE :=Ben: You won't get it. There isn't any chance of that. You're holding us up, and 1.2 ::CHANGE :=Oscar: think about buying it. Make a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change of 1.2 ::CHANGE :=Oscar: a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change of climate. Fine shooting on Jekyll, 2.2 ::CHANGE :=Addie: look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. Change your linens, get out a fresh dress 2.3 ::CHANGE :=Oscar: Let us hope she'll change his mind. Let us hope. 2.3 ::CHANGE :=Oscar: Now just suppose she don't change his mind? Just suppose he keeps on 2.3 ::CHANGE :=Oscar: Oh, you're right not to worry. She'll change his mind. She always has. Maybe. But 2.3 ::CHANGE :=Regina: He will change his mind. I'll find a way to make 3.2 ::CHANGE :=Regina: You haven't seen Ben -- When did you change your mind? 3.2 ::CHANGE :=Horace: I didn't change my mind. I didn't invest the money. 3.4 ::CHANGE :=Ben: Then, too, I say to myself, things may change. I agree with Alexandra. What is a 3.4 ::CHANGE :=Regina: about it, aren't you? Well, you'll change your mind in a few days. 3.4 ::CHANGE :=Alexandra: You only change your mind when you want to. And I 1.1 ::CHANGED :=Oscar: mind about the album. Miss Birdie has changed her mind. 1.4 ::CHANGED :=Regina: I've changed my mind. You're to tell Papa how 3.2 ::CHANGED :=Regina: a small-town clerk then. You haven't changed. 3.4 ::CHANGED :=Alexandra: I've changed my mind. I don't want to talk. There's 1.1 ::CHANGES :=Cal: mighty honored guest. When Miss Regina changes orders like that you can bet your 3.1 ::CHARGING :=Birdie: couldn't use, and who made their money charging awful interest to the poor, ignorant 1.2 ::CHARMING :=Regina: the children -- Our future! You were charming at supper, Birdie. Mr. Marshall 3.3 ::CHASING :=Leo: place where you could find him. I been chasing him all afternoon. 1.1 ::CHATTER :=Birdie: Really, Mr. Marshall, I didn't mean to chatter so about it. Really I -- You must 1.1 ::CHATTERING :=Oscar: You have been chattering to him like a magpie. You haven't 1.2 ::CHATTERING :=Oscar: What are you chattering about? 2.1 ::CHATTERING :=Regina: to have breakfast alone. I hate chattering before I've had something hot. 2.1 ::CHEAP :=Leo: to them is a baby shoe of Zan's and a cheap old cameo on a string, and, and -- 2.3 ::CHEAP :=Ben: Cheap. You'd think the Governor of a great 2.3 ::CHEAP :=Ben: a little higher. From pride, you know. Cheap wages. "What do you mean by cheap wages?" 2.3 ::CHEAP :=Ben: Cheap wages. "What do you mean by cheap wages?" I say to Marshall. "Less than 3.4 ::CHEATED :=Regina: twelve men in this state you haven't cheated and who hate you for it. 2.3 ::CHEATING :=Horace: be better ways of getting rich than cheating niggers on a pound of bacon. Why 3.1 ::CHEATING :=Birdie: to the poor, ignorant niggers and cheating them on what they bought. She was 3.1 ::CHEATING :=Addie: Yeah, they got mighty well off cheating niggers. Well, there are people 2.3 ::CHECK :=Ben: Good. Draw a check for our part. You can take the night 2.3 ::CHI :=Regina: Oscar is going to Chi -- What do you mean? 1.1 ::CHICAGO :=Birdie: because of his father and the opera in Chicago. Mr. Marshall is such a polite man 1.1 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: I think you're trying to console me. Chicago may be the noisiest, dirtiest city 1.1 ::CHICAGO :=Marshall: In Chicago? Oh, I suppose so. But I can tell 1.1 ::CHICAGO :=Marshall: you would come and let me show you Chicago. Do I have to make you promise a 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Birdie: hope your sister-in-law will come to Chicago. Chicago will be at her feet." He 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Birdie: sister-in-law will come to Chicago. Chicago will be at her feet." He said the 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Birdie: Introduce you? In Chicago? You mean you really might go? Oh, 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: Birdie I'm going to live in Chicago. I've always wanted to. And now there'll 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Birdie: Will we be going to Chicago? I mean, Oscar and Leo and me? 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: I'm going to Chicago. And when I'm settled there and know 1.2 ::CHICAGO :=Oscar: You are serious about moving to Chicago? 2.1 ::CHICAGO :=Oscar: Is that the way they do things in Chicago society? 2.3 ::CHICAGO :=Ben: the nerve to go to Marshall Company in Chicago. 2.3 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: it off this way. Oscar must be in Chicago by the end of the week with the money 2.3 ::CHICAGO :=Ben: part. You can take the night train for Chicago. Well, Oscar, good luck to us. 2.3 ::CHICAGO :=Ben: to tell you that Oscar is going to Chicago tonight, so we can't be here for 2.3 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: Wait, you -- How can he to go to Chicago? Did a ghost arrive with the money? 3.1 ::CHICAGO :=Horace: Birdie, when did Oscar get back from Chicago? 3.2 ::CHICAGO :=Horace: They are in Chicago. With Mr. Marshall, I should gue 3.2 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: What did they do? Walk to Chicago? Have you really gone crazy? 3.2 ::CHICAGO :=Horace: the day of the fight Oscar went to Chicago? Well, he went with my bonds that 3.4 ::CHICAGO :=Regina: When you do, write me. I will be in Chicago. Ah, Ben, if Papa had only left me 3.4 ::CHICAGO :=Alexandra: not coming with you. I'm not going to Chicago. 3.1 ::CHICKEN :=Addie: human born of woman will be living on chicken. That's how Mr. Ben's been telling 1.2 ::CHICKENS :=Ben: Caution. Don't count the chickens. Well, God would allow us a little 1.1 ::CHILD :=Oscar: table and go running about like a child? 1.4 ::CHILD :=Addie: Going alone? Going by herself? A child that age! Mr. Horace ain't going to 1.4 ::CHILD :=Birdie: more to me -- more to me than my own child. I love you more than anybody else 3.4 ::CHILD :=Ben: Not in front of the child, Regina. I -- 1.2 ::CHILDISH :=Oscar: You have been acting very childish, very excited, all evening. 1.1 ::CHILDREN :=Marshall: My family moves around too much. My children seem never to come home. Away at 1.1 ::CHILDREN :=Oscar: The children will drive you to the depot. Leo! 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Regina: Yours and mine, Ben's and Oscar's, the children -- Our future! You were charming 1.2 ::CHILDREN :=Oscar: The children, Alexandra and Leo, make a very 2.3 ::CHILDREN :=Regina: that! We have waited for you here like children. Waited for you to come home. 3.1 ::CHIMNEYS :=Addie: day the smoke'll be pushing out the chimneys and by church time that Sunday every 1.3 ::CHOOSE :=Regina: with heart trouble at any moment you choose. You know what doctors are like once 1.1 ::CHRIST :=Marshall: who so closely follow the teachings of Christ. And now I must leave for my trai 1.4 ::CHRONIC :=Regina: Oscar. It makes you look as if you had chronic indigestion. 3.1 ::CHURCH :=Addie: be pushing out the chimneys and by church time that Sunday every human born 1.1 ::CITY :=Regina: Chicago may be the noisiest, dirtiest city in the world but I should still prefer 3.2 ::CLEAR :=Horace: anything as long as I live. Is that clear to you? 3.3 ::CLEAR :=Leo: he knows about the bonds. Ain't that clear enough -- 3.2 ::CLERK :=Regina: But I was wrong. You were a small-town clerk then. You haven't changed. 1.2 ::CLIMATE :=Oscar: Do you good, Birdie, a change of climate. Fine shooting on Jekyll, the be 3.3 ::CLIP :=Ben: wings and very wittily. Do I have to clip them, too? You'd get farther with a 3.3 ::CLIPPED :=Ben: Horace has already clipped your wings and very wittily. Do I 1.1 ::CLOSE :=Ben: But we are a very close family. We've always wanted it that 2.1 ::CLOSE :=Leo: little, I guess, but then I made them close up the box quick and I told them never 2.1 ::CLOSE :=Leo: me for looking -- but I did make him close it up and put the keys back in Manders' 2.1 ::CLOSE :=Ben: Especially when I am getting ready to close a business deal and one of my partners 1.2 ::CLOSED :=Ben: when he lifted his glass to drink, I closed my eyes and saw the bricks going into 2.1 ::CLOSED :=Oscar: this time of the morning. Blinds all closed. Where's Miss Regina? It's cold in 3.1 ::CLOSED :=Cal: It'll be closed. Nobody'll be there but Mr. Manders, 1.1 ::CLOSELY :=Marshall: It's fine to have partners who so closely follow the teachings of Christ. And 1.1 ::CLOTH :=Ben: They had the best of everything. Cloth from Paris, trips to Europe, horses 1.1 ::CLOTHES :=Ben: In your evening clothes? Oh, no, my dear. 1.4 ::CLOTHES :=Leo: off safe and sound. Weren't those fine clothes he had? You can always spot clothes 1.4 ::CLOTHES :=Leo: clothes he had? You can always spot clothes made in a good place. Looks like 1.2 ::COAT :=Birdie: it. Every year it used to get a nice coat of paint -- Papa was very particular 1.4 ::COAT :=Oscar: Birdie. Birdie, get your hat and coat. 3.1 ::COAT :=Cal: with you." Then I wipe my hands on my coat. Every time I ever told a lie in my 2.1 ::COFFEE :=Regina: I don't take him out of it. Have some coffee and don't worry so much. 2.1 ::COFFEE :=Oscar: Have some coffee? There isn't any coffee. Oh, there 2.1 ::COFFEE :=Oscar: Have some coffee? There isn't any coffee. Oh, there you are. Is everything 2.2 ::COFFEE :=Horace: as ever. They don't have such good coffee up north. Is it as good, Addie? 2.2 ::COFFEE :=Alexandra: No. Dr. Reeves said not much coffee. Just now and then. I'm the nurse 2.2 ::COFFEE :=Addie: It ain't right for you to have coffee? It will hurt you? 2.2 ::COFFEE :=Horace: a cup, Addie. Funny. They can't make coffee up north. They don't like red pepper, 2.2 ::COFFEE'S :=Horace: Addie, I bet your coffee's as good as ever. They don't have 2.1 ::COLD :=Oscar: all closed. Where's Miss Regina? It's cold in here. 2.1 ::COLD :=Oscar: First day I missed since I had my head cold. First day I missed in eight years. 2.1 ::COLD :=Oscar: first day I haven't shot since my head cold. 1.1 ::COME :=Marshall: too much. My children seem never to come home. Away at school in the winter; 1.1 ::COME :=Regina: over with us, Mr. Marshall, but you'll come again. Any time you like. 1.1 ::COME :=Leo: horses. And a beautiful pair they are. Come on, Zan. 1.1 ::COME :=Marshall: You have promised that you would come and let me show you Chicago. Do I have 1.2 ::COME :=Birdie: to me, "I hope your sister-in-law will come to Chicago. Chicago will be at her feet." 1.2 ::COME :=Regina: he comes home. If he ever decides to come home. 1.2 ::COME :=Regina: wish, Birdie, any wish. It's bound to come true now. 1.2 ::COME :=Ben: us in the little one. Well, we'll come and visit you and meet all the great 1.3 ::COME :=Oscar: to have you in and you would like to come in. 1.3 ::COME :=Ben: I know that you've written him to come home, and that he hasn't come. 1.3 ::COME :=Ben: him to come home, and that he hasn't come. 1.3 ::COME :=Oscar: to look as if he doesn't want to come home. 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: Of course he wants to come home. You can't move around with heart 1.3 ::COME :=Oscar: And where would the larger share come from? 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: not my business. But perhaps it could come off your share, Oscar. 1.3 ::COME :=Oscar: believe you can even get Horace to come home, much less get money from him or 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: to Baltimore. She will ask him to come home. She will say that she wants him 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: She will say that she wants him to come home, and that I want him to come h 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: to come home, and that I want him to come home. 1.3 ::COME :=Regina: You agree that he will come home if she asks him to, if she says 1.4 ::COME :=Alexandra: It's a lovely night. You should have come, Aunt Birdie. 1.4 ::COME :=Alexandra: Me? Papa said I should come? That must mean -- Addie, he must be 1.4 ::COME :=Regina: much you missed him, and that he must come home now -- for your sake. Tell him 1.4 ::COME :=Alexandra: I couldn't make him think he had to come home for me, if he is too sick to - 1.4 ::COME :=Regina: It's the best possible cure for him to come home and be taken care of here. He mustn't 1.4 ::COME :=Regina: Tell your papa that I want him to come home, that I miss him very much. 1.4 ::COME :=Oscar: Come along. 1.4 ::COME :=Regina: Come on, Alexandra. 1.4 ::COME :=Addie: Come on, baby. Your mama's waiting for you, 2.1 ::COME :=Oscar: on Thursday night, and they haven't come by Friday morning. 2.1 ::COME :=Oscar: answer the letters, then he don't come home -- 2.1 ::COME :=Leo: What will happen if Uncle Horace don't come home or don't -- 2.1 ::COME :=Oscar: anybody else know that you opened it? Come, Leo, don't be afraid of speaking the 2.1 ::COME :=Oscar: are sitting around waiting for him to come home and invest his money in something 2.1 ::COME :=Regina: Then you haven't had your breakfast. Come along. 2.2 ::COME :=Alexandra: feels very bad. Now don't move until I come back and don't talk much and remember 2.2 ::COME :=Oscar: Did you come across the square dressed that way? 2.2 ::COME :=Regina: months. You know, Horace, I wanted to come and be with you in the hospital, but 2.2 ::COME :=Regina: you. But you know how much I wanted to come. 2.2 ::COME :=Horace: of you, Regina. There was no need to come. 2.2 ::COME :=Regina: liked it so well you didn't want to come home? 2.2 ::COME :=Horace: about it. Zan said you wanted me to come home. I was so pleased at that and touched 2.3 ::COME :=Ben: a strike? I never heard of one. Come South, Marshall. We got good folks and 2.3 ::COME :=Regina: here like children. Waited for you to come home. 2.3 ::COME :=Oscar: That's settled then. Come on, son. 2.3 ::COME :=Regina: with the money? I don't believe you. Come back here. Come back here, you -- 2.3 ::COME :=Regina: I don't believe you. Come back here. Come back here, you -- 2.3 ::COME :=Addie: Come here, Zan. Come out of this room. 2.3 ::COME :=Addie: Come here, Zan. Come out of this room. 3.1 ::COME :=Horace: their great quarrel. I know it would come some day. It came. 3.1 ::COME :=Addie: Come over here, Mr. Horace, and don't be 3.1 ::COME :=Addie: here since Sherman's army didn't come near. 3.1 ::COME :=Horace: And tell him I want him to come over here after supper, and to bring 3.1 ::COME :=Cal: He's to come after supper and bring Mr. Sol Fowler, 3.1 ::COME :=Birdie: at me. Everybody was on their way to come, and I was such a ninny, hiccoughing 3.1 ::COME :=Alexandra: else, and it doesn't seem to work. Come now, Aunt Birdie, I'll walk you home. 3.1 ::COME :=Cal: arriving in good shape and he say you come right after supper to his house and 3.2 ::COME :=Regina: is my part of the house. Please don't come down here again. 3.2 ::COME :=Regina: there at night, praying you wouldn't come near -- 3.2 ::COME :=Horace: bottle is upstairs. Addie! Addie! Come -- 3.2 ::COME :=Regina: Horace. Horace. Addie! Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. Come up 3.2 ::COME :=Regina: Cal! Come in here. He's had an attack. Come up here. 3.3 ::COME :=Leo: not, huh? Then he says Manders should come here tonight and bring Sol Fowler with 3.3 ::COME :=Ben: Oh, don't talk like that. He's come through attacks before. He will now 3.3 ::COME :=Regina: You will come back in this room and sit down. I have 3.3 ::COME :=Regina: You don't -- yet. Come back, Oscar. You too, Leo. 3.4 ::COME :=Regina: but you must have expected this to come some day. You knew how sick he was. 3.4 ::COME :=Regina: Alexandra, I've come to the end of my rope. Somewhere there 3.4 ::COME :=Regina: friends, Alexandra. Would you like to come and talk to me, Alexandra? Would you 1.1 ::COMES :=Birdie: and to bring it right in here when he comes back. 1.1 ::COMES :=Ben: But when the war comes these fine gentlemen ride off and leave 1.2 ::COMES :=Regina: of time to worry about Horace when he comes home. If he ever decides to come h 3.3 ::COMES :=Leo: Because Cal comes down to Manders and says the box came 3.4 ::COMES :=Ben: We're not sour people. I think that comes from a good digestion. Then, too, one 1.1 ::COMING :=Leo: Mama! Papa! They are coming in now. 1.3 ::COMING :=Oscar: before: where is this extra share coming from? 2.1 ::COMING :=Addie: have happened. If Zan says she was coming last night, she's coming last night. 2.1 ::COMING :=Addie: says she was coming last night, she's coming last night. Unless something happened. 2.3 ::COMING :=Regina: I want to talk to you, Horace. I'm coming up. 3.1 ::COMING :=Cal: door to him and he say, "Hello, Cal, coming on to summer weather." 3.1 ::COMING :=Cal: going to say you obliged for the box coming all right. I ain't going to understand 3.1 ::COMING :=Addie: But that's Miss Regina coming back. 3.2 ::COMING :=Horace: I was coming to that. I am going to make a new 3.4 ::COMING :=Addie: Miss Regina. He says Dr. Sloan will be coming in a few minutes. 3.4 ::COMING :=Alexandra: Mama, I'm not coming with you. I'm not going to Chicag 2.3 ::COMPANY :=Ben: I got up the nerve to go to Marshall Company in Chicago. 2.3 ::COMPANY :=Horace: what did you have to promise Marshall Company besides the money you're putting 3.4 ::COMPANY :=Regina: A respectable firm like Marshall and Company. The deal would be off in an hour. 1.3 ::CONCERNS :=Regina: And in addition to your concerns for me, you do not want control 1.4 ::CONDITION :=Regina: You must let me be the judge of his condition. It's the best possible cure for 3.4 ::CONDOLENCE :=Regina: to see anybody else. I don't want any condolence calls tonight. The whole town 2.1 ::CONNECTIONS :=Regina: have happened. They may have missed connections in Atlanta, the train may have 2.2 ::CONSCIENCE :=Regina: I only thought you might catch a bad conscience -- in bed, as you say. 2.2 ::CONSCIENCE :=Horace: I didn't tell them about my bad conscience. Or about my fancy women. Nor 3.3 ::CONSCIOUS :=Regina: He's not conscious. 1.3 ::CONSENT :=Regina: now. After all, Horace has to give his consent, too. 1.3 ::CONSIDER :=Regina: There's a lot of things to consider. They are first cousins, and -- 1.3 ::CONSIDERATIONS :=Regina: it to show you that there are considerations -- 1.1 ::CONSOLE :=Regina: Mr. Marshall, I think you're trying to console me. Chicago may be the noisiest, 3.2 ::CONTEMPT :=Regina: I don't hate you either. I have only contempt for you. I've always had. 1.3 ::CONTRACTS :=Ben: to have more than your word now. The contracts will be signed this week, and Marshall 2.3 ::CONTRACTS :=Regina: the end of the week with the money and contracts. 1.3 ::CONTROL :=Regina: your concerns for me, you do not want control to go out of the family. That right, 2.3 ::CONTROL :=Horace: And I could guess that he wants to keep control in the family. 3.4 ::CONTROL :=Regina: you feel, Alexandra, but please try to control yourself. 1.3 ::CONTROLLING :=Oscar: dollars. For fifty-one per cent -- a controlling interest, mind you, we will put 2.1 ::CONVENTION :=Regina: or you would have heard it. Quite a convention so early in the morning, aren't 1.3 ::CONVERSATIONS :=Ben: you to finish. You and Birdie. Four conversations are three too many. I said 3.4 ::CONVICT :=Regina: Oscar. Where was I? Well, they'll convict you. But I won't care much if they 1.1 ::CONVINCE :=Marshall: Now you don't have to convince me that you are the right people 2.1 ::CONVINCE :=Oscar: working harder at the bank. You got to convince your Uncle Horace you going to make 2.3 ::CONVINCE :=Horace: Did you have to convince them of that? How little people 1.1 ::CONVINCED :=Marshall: deal. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't convinced me six months ago. You want the 2.3 ::CONVINCED :=Regina: I did a little bargaining for you and convinced my brothers they weren't the only 2.1 ::COOK :=Ben: me. My first was bad. Celia ain't the cook she used to be. Too old to have taste 1.4 ::COOLED :=Alexandra: back. We had to wait until they cooled off. He always beats the horses as 1.2 ::CORNELLY :=Oscar: trip to Jekyll Island. I've heard the Cornelly place is for sale. We might think 1.2 ::COST :=Birdie: organ is still there and it wouldn't cost much to fix. We could have parties for 2.2 ::COSTUME :=Oscar: And what is that costume you have on? 2.2 ::COSTUME :=Oscar: I asked you what is that strange costume you're parading around in? 1.1 ::COTTON :=Marshall: but brick houses on a lake, and cotton mills. 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: Lionnet in its day was the best cotton land in the South. It still brings 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: fine gentlemen ride off and leave the cotton, and the women, to rot. 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: ago we took over their land, their cotton, and their daughter. 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: bit as true for the nigger picking cotton for a silver quarter, as it is for 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: something here, then he don't pick the cotton right. Money isn't all. Not by three 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: To bring the machine to the cotton, and not the cotton to the machin 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: the machine to the cotton, and not the cotton to the machine. 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: investments." Well, I say, "Southern cotton mills will be the Rembrandts of investment." 1.1 ::COTTON :=Ben: the firm of Hubbard Sons and Marshall, Cotton Mills, and to it a long and prosperous 1.3 ::COTTON :=Oscar: that we can make twice the profit on cotton goods manufactured here than can be 2.1 ::COTTON :=Cal: of 'em ain't had no meat since the cotton picking was over. Bet they'd give 2.3 ::COTTON :=Ben: For thirty years I've cried bring the cotton mills to the cotton. Well, finally 2.3 ::COTTON :=Ben: cried bring the cotton mills to the cotton. Well, finally I got up the nerve 3.1 ::COTTON :=Birdie: My family was good and the cotton on Lionnet's fields was better. Ben 3.1 ::COTTON :=Birdie: was better. Ben Hubbard wanted the cotton and Oscar Hubbard married it for him. 3.2 ::COTTON :=Horace: money in Hubbard Sons and Marshall, Cotton Manufacturers. 1.1 ::COULD :=Regina: had been saving that bottle, hoping we could open it just for you. 1.2 ::COULD :=Birdie: and it wouldn't cost much to fix. We could have parties for Zan, the way Mama 1.2 ::COULD :=Birdie: I could have a cutting garden. Just where Mama's 1.2 ::COULD :=Birdie: Mama's used to be. Oh, I do think we could be happier there. Papa used to say 1.3 ::COULD :=Regina: I am sure you could get the third share, the share you 1.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: a third and you get a third. What else could he expect? 1.3 ::COULD :=Regina: like to be too definite. But I could say that I wouldn't like to persuade 1.3 ::COULD :=Regina: That's not my business. But perhaps it could come off your share, Oscar. 1.3 ::COULD :=Regina: be asking for things I didn't think I could get. 1.4 ::COULD :=Birdie: Maybe I could go with her, Regina. I'd really like 1.4 ::COULD :=Leo: fool you are. Wish it were me. What I could do in a place like Baltimore! 1.4 ::COULD :=Alexandra: I can guess the kind of things you could do. 2.1 ::COULD :=Oscar: Wouldn't you think a girl that age could get on a train at one place and have 2.1 ::COULD :=Regina: been delayed -- oh, a hundred things could have kept them. 2.1 ::COULD :=Oscar: had them. If you had them. Then you could have a share in the mill, you and me. 2.1 ::COULD :=Oscar: No, sir. Wouldn't even miss them. How could he miss them if he never looks at them? 2.1 ::COULD :=Oscar: strange. You laugh when I say he could lend you the bonds if he's not going 2.1 ::COULD :=Oscar: Oh, that too. Who could help but worry? I'm worried. This is 2.3 ::COULD :=Ben: It could wait. Horace may not feel like talking 2.3 ::COULD :=Regina: the time was getting short and you could guess how much he needed you -- 2.3 ::COULD :=Horace: And I could guess that he wants to keep control 2.3 ::COULD :=Horace: So that you could invest my money. So that is why you 2.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: You done your almighty best. Nobody could blame you if the whole thing just dripped 2.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: a thing. But there may be something I could do for us. Or, I might better say, 2.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: do for us. Or, I might better say, Leo could do for us. Ain't that true, son? Ain't 2.3 ::COULD :=Ben: I could wait until next week. But I can't wait 2.3 ::COULD :=Ben: But I can't wait until next week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, 2.3 ::COULD :=Ben: until next week. I could but I can't. Could and can't. Well, I must go now. I'm 2.3 ::COULD :=Regina: me. You haven't got the money. How could you have it? You can't have -- You 3.1 ::COULD :=Birdie: a ninny I am and how shy. You said you could play the fiddle and you'd be much obliged 3.1 ::COULD :=Alexandra: It's nice here. Just us. Be nice if it could always be this way. 3.1 ::COULD :=Birdie: He passed and lifted his hat -- we could see him from the window -- and my brother, 3.1 ::COULD :=Birdie: Like I say, if we could only go back to Lionnet. Everybody's 3.2 ::COULD :=Regina: story to hold over their heads. How could they be such fools? 3.2 ::COULD :=Regina: I couldn't understand that anybody could be such a soft fool. That was when 3.3 ::COULD :=Leo: think Papa'd be some place where you could find him. I been chasing him all a 3.3 ::COULD :=Leo: How could I tell? I was half crazy. I don't think 3.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: that bad? Wouldn't you think Sloan could be found quickly, just once, just 3.3 ::COULD :=Oscar: what -- what about them? What -- what could he say? 3.3 ::COULD :=Regina: brothers. He said there was nothing I could do about it. He said the rest of his 3.3 ::COULD :=Leo: I told you he had lent them -- I could have told you -- 3.3 ::COULD :=Regina: But Horace said there was nothing I could do about it as long as he was alive 3.4 ::COULD :=Oscar: what's -- My God, I didn't know -- who could have known -- I didn't know he was 1.3 ::COULDN'T :=Oscar: from answering letters, can they? They couldn't keep him from arranging for the 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: You remember that. But you said you couldn't go, and that I couldn't go alon 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: you said you couldn't go, and that I couldn't go alone. 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Birdie: He may be too sick. She couldn't do that -- 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: Yes. He may be too sick to travel. I couldn't make him think he had to come home 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: You couldn't do what I tell you to do, Alexa 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: No. I couldn't. If I thought it would hurt him 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Leo: Oh no, you couldn't. 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Birdie: But they have thought about it. Zan, I couldn't stand to think about such a thing. 1.4 ::COULDN'T :=Birdie: I just couldn't stand -- 2.2 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: Don't tell me how worried you were. We couldn't help it and there was no way to 2.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: a holiday! A holiday of thinking. Couldn't you have done that here? 2.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: I know you're tired but, but -- couldn't you stay down here a few minutes 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Birdie: to like people who killed animals they couldn't use, and who made their money charging 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: Papa, I mean -- when you feel better couldn't we go away? I mean, by ourselves. 3.1 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: we go away? I mean, by ourselves. Couldn't we find a way to go -- 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Horace: Couldn't it? 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: -- I don't know. It was almost as if I couldn't stand the kind of man you were -- 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: But you believed it. I couldn't understand that. I couldn't understand 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: it. I couldn't understand that. I couldn't understand that anybody could be 3.2 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: you would die before I would. But I couldn't have known that you would get heart 3.4 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: Deny you heads off. You couldn't find a jury that wouldn't weep for 3.4 ::COULDN'T :=Regina: whose brothers steal from her. And you couldn't find twelve men in this state you 3.4 ::COULDN'T :=Oscar: What kind of talk is this? You couldn't do anything like that! We're your 3.4 ::COULDN'T :=Alexandra: You couldn't, Mama, because I want to leave here. 1.2 ::COUNT :=Ben: Caution. Don't count the chickens. Well, God would allow 1.2 ::COUNT :=Regina: I'm going to leave you and Oscar to count the bricks. 3.1 ::COUNT :=Addie: God, Mr. Horace, I won't know how to count up that high. It's mighty kind and 2.1 ::COUNTRY :=Ben: to Mama, I'd send her off to the country. 3.4 ::COUNTRY :=Ben: in rooms like this throughout the country. All their names aren't Hubbard, 3.4 ::COUNTRY :=Ben: all Hubbards and they will own this country some day. We'll get along. 1.2 ::COUPLE :=Oscar: and Leo, make a very handsome couple, Regina. Marshall remarked himself 2.1 ::COUPONS :=Leo: once every six months when he cuts the coupons, and sometimes Manders even does 1.1 ::COURSE :=Leo: Of course, Uncle Ben. I didn't mean -- 1.2 ::COURSE :=Ben: Oh, of course. Our greatest pleasure will be to 1.3 ::COURSE :=Ben: very high -- for myself, and Oscar, of course. 1.3 ::COURSE :=Regina: Of course he wants to come home. You can't move 1.3 ::COURSE :=Birdie: Well, of course she wants him here, but he's sick 1.3 ::COURSE :=Ben: Yes, that's what I mean. Of course it would make a difference. 2.1 ::COURSE :=Regina: Of course they've started. Didn't I have a letter 2.3 ::COURSE :=Horace: You got them that, of course. 2.3 ::COURSE :=Ben: Of course. We'll take care of him. We won't 3.2 ::COURSE :=Horace: had stolen for him. And for Ben, of course, too. 2.1 ::COUSIN :=Regina: people arriving late? He has that cousin in Savannah he's so fond of. He may 2.1 ::COUSIN :=Ben: Regina. That cousin of Horace's has been dead for years 1.3 ::COUSINS :=Regina: of things to consider. They are first cousins, and -- 1.3 ::COUSINS :=Oscar: grandmother and grandfather were first cousins. 1.3 ::CRAZY :=Oscar: I think you've gone crazy. 2.1 ::CRAZY :=Leo: Yes, sirree. A lot of other crazy things, too. A poem, I guess it is, 2.2 ::CRAZY :=Oscar: Your mother has gone crazy. Running around the streets like a 2.2 ::CRAZY :=Horace: more time. Regina, what's all this crazy talk I've been hearing about Zan and 2.3 ::CRAZY :=Ben: today. He's a sick man, but he isn't a crazy one. 2.3 ::CRAZY :=Oscar: But just suppose he is crazy. What then? 3.2 ::CRAZY :=Regina: Do you think I'm crazy enough to believe what you're sayi 3.2 ::CRAZY :=Regina: Walk to Chicago? Have you really gone crazy? 3.3 ::CRAZY :=Leo: How could I tell? I was half crazy. I don't think so. Because Manders 3.3 ::CRAZY :=Oscar: You're mighty crazy. Having just admitted -- 1.1 ::CREAM :=Cal: Zan she had two helpings frozen fruit cream and she tell that honored guest, she 1.1 ::CREAM :=Cal: that you make the best frozen fruit cream in all the South. 1.2 ::CREAM :=Regina: like a cat who's been licking the cream. Now we must all have a drink to c 2.1 ::CREDIT :=Oscar: you. Sometimes a young fellow deserves credit for looking round him to see what's 2.3 ::CRIED :=Ben: of a lucky man. For thirty years I've cried bring the cotton mills to the cotton. 1.4 ::CRISP :=Ben: train is very good. The celery is so crisp. Have a good time and act like a little 1.1 ::CROP :=Ben: South. It still brings us in a fair crop. Ah, they were great days for those 2.3 ::CROSS :=Horace: It's a great day when you and Ben cross swords. I've been waiting for it for 1.1 ::CROWDS :=Regina: smell of our azaleas. I should like crowds of people, and theaters, and lovely 3.4 ::CRY :=Ben: some people laugh and some people cry. It's better to cry, Alexandra. 3.4 ::CRY :=Ben: and some people cry. It's better to cry, Alexandra. 1.1 ::CULTURED :=Birdie: with his manners and very educated and cultured and I've told him all about how 1.1 ::CULTURED :=Birdie: he was bored. He's a very educated, cultured gentleman. I just don't believe 2.2 ::CUP :=Horace: can make much difference now. Get me a cup, Addie. Funny. They can't make coffee 2.2 ::CUP :=Horace: a day. So strong it had to stain the cup. Addie, before I see anybody else, I 2.2 ::CUPS :=Horace: how I used to drink it? Ten, twelve cups a day. So strong it had to stain the 1.4 ::CURE :=Regina: his condition. It's the best possible cure for him to come home and be taken care 1.1 ::CUSTOM :=Ben: up. Down here, sir, we have a strange custom. We drink the last drink for a toast. 2.1 ::CUTS :=Leo: in it once every six months when he cuts the coupons, and sometimes Manders even 1.2 ::CUTTING :=Birdie: I could have a cutting garden. Just where Mama's used to 1.3 ::CYNICAL :=Ben: That's cynical. Cynicism is an unpleasant way of 1.3 ::CYNICAL :=Oscar: No need to be cynical. We'd have no trouble raising the 1.3 ::CYNICISM :=Ben: That's cynical. Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the 2.1 ::DAMN :=Oscar: Ought to be worried. Damn well ought to be. First he don't answer 2.1 ::DAMN :=Leo: Damn shame what they did to you. 1.3 ::DANDY :=Oscar: From me, is it? That's just fine and dandy. That's my reward. For thirty-five 1.1 ::DARE :=Marshall: I dare say. She moves about a great deal. And 1.4 ::DARLING :=Birdie: Nothing, darling. Nothing happened. Now go to bed. 2.2 ::DARLING :=Horace: I don't feel that way. I'm just tired, darling. Let me rest a little. 3.1 ::DARLING :=Horace: I'm not restless, darling. 3.1 ::DARLING :=Horace: No, no. I'm all right, darling. 3.1 ::DARLING :=Horace: try to find a way. I promise you, darling. 1.1 ::DAUGHTER :=Ben: their land, their cotton, and their daughter. 2.2 ::DAUGHTER :=Regina: all of us. Important to your beloved daughter. She'll be a very great heiress 3.2 ::DAUGHTER :=Horace: to whom you were willing to marry your daughter, took the keys and opened the box. 1.1 ::DAY :=Ben: Lionnet in its day was the best cotton land in the South. 1.3 ::DAY :=Ben: and Leo. They may even marry some day and -- 2.1 ::DAY :=Oscar: First day I missed since I had my head cold. First 2.1 ::DAY :=Oscar: missed since I had my head cold. First day I missed in eight years. 2.1 ::DAY :=Cal: Simon he say you had a mighty good day yesterday morning. That's what Simon 2.1 ::DAY :=Oscar: worry? I'm worried. This is the first day I haven't shot since my head cold. 2.2 ::DAY :=Horace: I used to drink it? Ten, twelve cups a day. So strong it had to stain the cup. Addie, 2.2 ::DAY :=Regina: tell me everything you thought -- some day. 2.3 ::DAY :=Horace: best. We'll talk about it another day. 2.3 ::DAY :=Leo: I was only going to say what a great day this was for me and -- 2.3 ::DAY :=Horace: It's a great day when you and Ben cross swords. I've been 3.1 ::DAY :=Alexandra: It's too bad it's been raining all day, Papa. But you can to out in the yard 3.1 ::DAY :=Alexandra: has Uncle Ben since -- since that day. 3.1 ::DAY :=Horace: quarrel. I know it would come some day. It came. 3.1 ::DAY :=Addie: red bricks going into place. The next day the smoke'll be pushing out the chimneys 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: away. You know, that was the first day I ever saw Oscar Hubbard. The Ballongs 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: Yes, that was the first day I ever saw Oscar. Who would have thought 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: twenty-two years I haven't had a whole day of happiness. Oh, a little, like today 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: you all. But never a single, whole day. I say to myself, if only I had one more 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: myself, if only I had one more whole day, then -- And that's the way you'll be. 3.1 ::DAY :=Birdie: me, hoping they won't be so mean that day or say something to make you feel so 3.1 ::DAY :=Alexandra: we were all trying to make a happy day. You know, we sit around and try to pretend 3.2 ::DAY :=Horace: opened the box. You remember that the day of the fight Oscar went to Chicago? Well, 3.3 ::DAY :=Regina: We haven't seen each other since the day of our fight. 3.3 ::DAY :=Ben: have it all out on a more appropriate day. 3.4 ::DAY :=Ben: and they will own this country some day. We'll get along. 3.4 ::DAY :=Ben: I have no answer. But maybe some day I will. Maybe never, but maybe some day. 3.4 ::DAY :=Ben: I will. Maybe never, but maybe some day. When I do I'll let you know. 3.4 ::DAY :=Regina: must have expected this to come some day. You knew how sick he was. 3.4 ::DAY :=Alexandra: Papa was trying to tell me. All in one day: Addie said there were people who ate 3.1 ::DAY'S :=Horace: be at the table, going over the day's business. See that box? 1.2 ::DAYDREAMING :=Ben: Well, God would allow us a little daydreaming. Good for the soul when you've 1.1 ::DAYS :=Ben: us in a fair crop. Ah, they were great days for those people -- even when I can 2.1 ::DAYS :=Oscar: going to be a married man one of these days. 2.1 ::DAYS :=Oscar: You rising mighty late these days. Is that the way they do things in Chicago 2.3 ::DAYS :=Regina: But you don't know that in the last few days Ben has agreed to give us -- you, I 3.2 ::DAYS :=Horace: look in that box very often, but three days ago, on Wednesday it was, because I 3.2 ::DAYS :=Regina: you said. Why have you waited three days to do anything? This will make a fine 3.4 ::DAYS :=Regina: Well, you'll change your mind in a few days. 2.1 ::DEAD :=Ben: That cousin of Horace's has been dead for years and, in any case, the train 2.2 ::DEAD :=Addie: going to be a wedding -- Over my dead body there is. 3.1 ::DEAD :=Horace: left. She can even hate me when I'm dead, if she'll only learn to hate and fear 1.1 ::DEAL :=Marshall: I dare say. She moves about a great deal. And all of you are part of the same 1.1 ::DEAL :=Marshall: Well, I always thought it was a great deal. 1.1 ::DEAL :=Marshall: that you are the right people for the deal. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't convinced 1.2 ::DEAL :=Regina: She's away a great deal. He said that several times. And once 1.2 ::DEAL :=Ben: -- Now somebody ask me how I know the deal is set. 1.2 ::DEAL :=Ben: It'll take a great deal of money to live as you're planning, 1.3 ::DEAL :=Regina: partners sometimes want a great deal. But perhaps it would be wise for you 2.1 ::DEAL :=Ben: I am getting ready to close a business deal and one of my partners remains silent 2.3 ::DEAL :=Horace: Well, it looks like you made a good deal for yourselves, and for Marshall, too. 3.4 ::DEAL :=Regina: firm like Marshall and Company. The deal would be off in an hour. And you know 1.2 ::DEAL'S :=Ben: sir. It's beginning to look as if the deal's all set. I may not be a subtle man 1.1 ::DEAR :=Birdie: Thank you, dear. But I have my headache now. I -- 1.1 ::DEAR :=Ben: In your evening clothes? Oh, no, my dear. 2.2 ::DEAR :=Horace: Zan. Not for a minute, dear. 2.2 ::DEAR :=Oscar: across the square dressed that way? My dear Birdie, I -- 2.3 ::DEAR :=Ben: I had to leave. And don't worry so, my dear. Married folk frequently raise their 3.3 ::DEAR :=Oscar: My dear Regina -- 3.4 ::DEAR :=Regina: Please go and lie down, my dear. We all need time to get over shocks 3.2 ::DEATH :=Horace: share for a little while. After my death I advise you to talk to Ben and Oscar. 1.2 ::DECIDES :=Regina: Horace when he comes home. If he ever decides to come home. 2.1 ::DECIDES :=Oscar: enough to lend you the bonds if he decides not to use them himself? 3.2 ::DECISION :=Horace: Wednesday it was, because I had made a decision -- 3.2 ::DECISION :=Horace: me again. Because I had made a decision, I sent for the box. The bonds were 1.3 ::DEFINITE :=Regina: Oh, I shouldn't like to be too definite. But I could say that I wouldn't 2.1 ::DELAYED :=Regina: in Atlanta, the train may have been delayed -- oh, a hundred things could have 2.3 ::DELAYED :=Regina: very well too. But things can't be delayed any longer. Everything must be settled 1.3 ::DELIBERATELY :=Ben: So you believe he has deliberately held out? For a larger share? 1.4 ::DELIGHTED :=Regina: At your age it certainly would have delighted me. You're a strange girl, Alexandra. 2.3 ::DELIVER :=Ben: is settled. He's going on to deliver to Marshall -- 2.3 ::DEMAND :=Regina: I demand to know what -- You are lying. You 3.4 ::DENY :=Oscar: We'll deny -- 3.4 ::DENY :=Regina: Deny you heads off. You couldn't find a jury 2.1 ::DEPOSIT :=Leo: bonds sitting right in his safe deposit box. All he's got to do is open the 1.1 ::DEPOT :=Oscar: The children will drive you to the depot. Leo! Alexandra! You will drive Mr. 1.2 ::DESERVE :=Ben: soul when you've worked hard enough to deserve it. I think I'll have a stable. For 2.1 ::DESERVES :=Oscar: with you. Sometimes a young fellow deserves credit for looking round him to 1.1 ::DESK :=Birdie: to run home for me. He's to look in my desk drawer and -- My, Addie. What a good 1.1 ::DESK :=Birdie: to do it himself. He's to look in my desk, the left drawer, and bring my music 3.2 ::DESPISE :=Regina: a soft fool. That was when I began to despise you. 1.3 ::DETAIL :=Oscar: we have explained it to him in great detail, and told him the urgency. Still he 1.1 ::DID :=Addie: Did she? Well, see that Belle saves a little 1.1 ::DID :=Ben: Worldly, eh? Worldly, did you say? 1.1 ::DID :=Regina: And so did I, Mr. Marshall. 1.2 ::DID :=Birdie: Why, Regina! Do you think he did? 1.2 ::DID :=Regina: What did he say? 1.2 ::DID :=Regina: Did he? He seems a lonely man. Imagine being 1.2 ::DID :=Regina: Well, you did it. 1.2 ::DID :=Ben: Looks like it might be we did. 1.2 ::DID :=Ben: Did you, Regina? Well, when he lifted his 1.2 ::DID :=Regina: What did you say? 1.2 ::DID :=Regina: What did you say, Ben? 1.3 ::DID :=Regina: like to persuade Horace unless he did get a larger share. I must look after 2.1 ::DID :=Leo: Damn shame what they did to you. 2.1 ::DID :=Leo: Yes, sir, yes, he did. My word of honor. I suppose that don't 2.1 ::DID :=Leo: don't excuse me for looking -- but I did make him close it up and put the keys 2.1 ::DID :=Oscar: I am not going to be angry with you. Did you open the box yourself? 2.1 ::DID :=Oscar: made their fortune with their eyes. Did you open the box? 2.1 ::DID :=Oscar: Did you open the box? It may have been -- 2.1 ::DID :=Leo: knew. Nobody was in the bank when I did it. But -- 2.1 ::DID :=Oscar: Did your Uncle Horace ever know you opened 2.1 ::DID :=Regina: Did he die? You're always remembering about 2.2 ::DID :=Horace: They did their best. 2.2 ::DID :=Alexandra: Papa, you feel bad again. I knew you did. Do you want your medicine? 2.2 ::DID :=Regina: Now sit down. What did happen to you and where's Alexandra? 2.2 ::DID :=Oscar: Did you come across the square dressed that 2.2 ::DID :=Horace: Regina. Why did you send Zan to Baltimore? 2.2 ::DID :=Regina: They didn't think it possible, did they, that your fancy women may have 2.2 ::DID :=Regina: I didn't think you did. I only thought you might catch a bad 2.2 ::DID :=Horace: Or about my fancy women. Nor did I tell them that my wife has not wanted 2.2 ::DID :=Horace: -- How long is it, Regina? Ten years? Did you bring me home for this, to make me 2.3 ::DID :=Regina: Exactly. So I did a little bargaining for you and convinced 2.3 ::DID :=Horace: Did you have to convince them of that? How 2.3 ::DID :=Horace: Oscar's self-sacrifice, but what did you have to promise Marshall Company 2.3 ::DID :=Oscar: Maybe. But I don't believe it. I never did believe he was going in with us. 2.3 ::DID :=Regina: you -- How can he to go to Chicago? Did a ghost arrive with the money? I don't 3.1 ::DID :=Birdie: Indeed he did. He played the fiddle and very well, 3.1 ::DID :=Horace: Birdie, when did Oscar get back from Chicago? 3.1 ::DID :=Alexandra: Why did you marry Uncle Oscar? 3.1 ::DID :=Alexandra: Aunt Birdie, why did you marry Uncle Oscar? 3.1 ::DID :=Horace: Did he? 3.2 ::DID :=Regina: about? You haven't seen Ben -- When did you change your mind? 3.2 ::DID :=Regina: Where did they go to? 3.2 ::DID :=Regina: What did they do? Walk to Chicago? Have you really 3.2 ::DID :=Regina: When did you find out the bonds were gone? 3.2 ::DID :=Regina: Why did you say that I was making this gift? 3.2 ::DID :=Horace: I was in love with you. But why did you marry me? 3.3 ::DID :=Leo: But what's the matter with him? When did this happen -- You'd think Papa'd be 3.3 ::DID :=Ben: Where is he? When did it happen? 3.3 ::DID :=Oscar: But when did it happen? 3.3 ::DID :=Ben: at the wrong end, Regina? What did Horace tell you? 3.4 ::DID :=Alexandra: Did you love him, Uncle Oscar? 3.4 ::DID :=Alexandra: Did you love him, Uncle Ben? 3.4 ::DID :=Alexandra: And you, Mama, did you love him, too? 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: Of course, Uncle Ben. I didn't mean -- 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: Oh, I didn't mean, sir -- 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: Oh. Well. Really, Mr. Marshall, I didn't mean to chatter so about it. Really 1.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: it. Really I -- You must excuse me. I didn't get it because, well, because I had 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: nasty-spoken or mean. No, sir. He just didn't like it. 1.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: I didn't hear you. There was so much talki 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: that I wouldn't be asking for things I didn't think I could get. 1.3 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: years I've done all the things you didn't want to do. And this is what I -- 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Cal: Yes, sir, Mr. Oscar. I didn't say nothing about nothing. It was 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: bring it here. I told you that if they didn't have a message to stay at the bank 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: You didn't misunderstand. You just were looking 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: No, sir, I didn't. I told you I didn't. No, I -- 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: No, sir, I didn't. I told you I didn't. No, I -- 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: Of course they've started. Didn't I have a letter from Alexandra? What 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Cal: Oh, yes'm. Grits didn't hold the heat. Grits didn't hold the 2.1 ::DIDN'T :=Cal: Grits didn't hold the heat. Grits didn't hold the heat. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Alexandra: in Mobile over night. Papa -- Papa didn't feel well. The trip was too much for 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Addie: You'd be a better one if you didn't look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't feel good, a little weak, I guess, 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: so sorry the trip was hard on you. I didn't think that -- 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: Oh, I would have been here. I didn't know you were back until Simon said 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: and be with you in the hospital, but I didn't know where my duty was. Here, or with 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: no friends. Don't try to tell me you didn't have a bad time of it. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't have a bad time. No, I didn't, Regina. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't have a bad time. No, I didn't, Regina. Oh, at first when I -- when 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: that strange. You liked it so well you didn't want to come home? 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't meant to make anything suspicious 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: They didn't think it possible, did they, that 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: I didn't think you did. I only thought you 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't tell them about my bad conscience. 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: foolish for us to fight this way. I didn't mean to be unpleasant. I was stup 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: God knows I didn't either. I came home wanting so much 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: It's all my fault. I didn't ask about -- about your illness because 2.2 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: about -- about your illness because I didn't want to remind you of it. Anyway I 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: answered his letters because you didn't think he was offering you enough, 2.3 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: Now, now. He didn't mean that. I only want to be sure 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: Oh, I didn't know it was that bad. Oscar never 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: such a good humor when he got home, I didn't -- 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Addie: talk around here since Sherman's army didn't come near. 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: But we didn't play together after that night. Oscar 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: after that night. Oscar said he didn't like me to play on the piano. You 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Birdie: Hubbards to the party. He said Mama didn't like them because they kept a store, 3.1 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: So you didn't want Zan to hear? It would be nice 3.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't change my mind. I didn't invest the 3.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: I didn't change my mind. I didn't invest the money. It was invested 3.2 ::DIDN'T :=Horace: Why didn't you leave me? 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: said he had it since Wednesday. Why didn't he say something -- I don't understand 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: Maybe he didn't know that we -- 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Ben: on such pretty terms and maybe he didn't. Maybe he didn't. Now, listen to me. 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Ben: terms and maybe he didn't. Maybe he didn't. Now, listen to me. If she doesn't 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Ben: Just because he didn't lend them to me. Remember that. 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: But all he has to do is say he didn't lend them to me -- 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: I didn't steal anything. I don't know why 3.3 ::DIDN'T :=Leo: I didn't steal -- 3.4 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: Well, what is -- what's -- My God, I didn't know -- who could have known -- I 3.4 ::DIDN'T :=Oscar: know -- who could have known -- I didn't know he was that sick. Well, well 3.4 ::DIDN'T :=Regina: I didn't ask her to stay. Tomorrow morning 2.1 ::DIE :=Oscar: talk so loud. Don't you worry. When I die, you'll have as much as the rest. You 2.1 ::DIE :=Regina: Did he die? You're always remembering about people 2.3 ::DIE :=Regina: Because you're going to die and you know you're going to die. 2.3 ::DIE :=Regina: to die and you know you're going to die. 2.3 ::DIE :=Horace: more harm now. I've done enough. I'll die my own way. And I'll do it without making 2.3 ::DIE :=Regina: I hope you die. I hope you die soon. I'll be waiting 2.3 ::DIE :=Regina: I hope you die. I hope you die soon. I'll be waiting for you to die 2.3 ::DIE :=Regina: die soon. I'll be waiting for you to die. 3.2 ::DIE :=Regina: if I had I'd have known that you would die before I would. But I couldn't have known 2.1 ::DIED :=Ben: Old Carter died up in Senateville. Eighty-one is a good 3.2 ::DIED :=Regina: the world. Then, and then -- Papa died and left the money to Ben and Oscar 1.3 ::DIFFERENCE :=Ben: You'll be a very rich man. What's the difference to any of us if a little more 1.3 ::DIFFERENCE :=Oscar: That would make a great difference in my feelings. If they marri 1.3 ::DIFFERENCE :=Ben: what I mean. Of course it would make a difference. 2.2 ::DIFFERENCE :=Horace: Nothing can make much difference now. Get me a cup, Addie. Funny. 2.2 ::DIFFERENCE :=Horace: any more. My "thinking" has made a difference. 3.3 ::DIFFERENCE :=Leo: What's the difference why? He was getting ready to say 3.4 ::DIFFERENCE :=Regina: it tomorrow. The morning will make a difference. 3.4 ::DIFFERENCE :=Alexandra: It won't make any difference. And there isn't anything to talk 1.1 ::DIFFICULT :=Marshall: Sometimes it is difficult to learn new ways. 1.1 ::DIFFICULT :=Ben: You're right, Mr. Marshall. It is difficult to learn new ways. But maybe that's 3.4 ::DIGESTION :=Ben: people. I think that comes from a good digestion. Then, too, one loses today and 1.1 ::DIME :=Cal: orders like that you can bet your dime she got her reason. 2.3 ::DIME :=Horace: and their dirty tricks to make a dime. There must be better ways of getting 1.1 ::DINED :=Marshall: But I can tell you this: I've never dined there with three such lovely ladie 1.1 ::DINNER :=Oscar: Why do you leave the dinner table and go running about like a 2.2 ::DIRT :=Horace: Zan's upstairs washing off the train dirt. 1.1 ::DIRTIEST :=Regina: me. Chicago may be the noisiest, dirtiest city in the world but I should still 2.2 ::DIRTY :=Addie: be a better one if you didn't look so dirty. Now go and take a bath. Change your 2.3 ::DIRTY :=Horace: I'm sick of your brothers and their dirty tricks to make a dime. There must be 3.3 ::DIRTY :=Leo: do I care what you believe? I do the dirty work and then -- 2.3 ::DISAPPOINTED :=Horace: home? Well, I had hoped -- If you are disappointed, Regina, I'm sorry. But I must 3.4 ::DISCOURAGED :=Ben: want. Then I don't get it. But I'm not discouraged. The century's turning, the world 2.1 ::DISGRACE :=Addie: Unless something happened. Sure fire disgrace to let a baby like that go all the 1.3 ::DISLIKE :=Ben: These quarrels. I dislike them so. A marriage might be a very 3.3 ::DISMISSING :=Ben: for Doctor Morris. And don't think I'm dismissing this other business. I'm not. 1.1 ::DISTINCTIONS :=Marshall: You make great distinctions. 1.1 ::DISTINCTIONS :=Ben: for us. And maybe they are important distinctions. Now you take Birdie's family. 2.3 ::DIVIDENDS :=Horace: pound the bones of this town to make dividends for you to spend? You wreck the 1.1 ::DO :=Birdie: you better find Simon and tell him to do it himself. He's to look in my desk, the 1.1 ::DO :=Oscar: Why do you leave the dinner table and go running 1.1 ::DO :=Marshall: find time, or want to find time, to do business. 1.1 ::DO :=Marshall: Do all of you live here together? 1.1 ::DO :=Marshall: Indeed I do. If your headache isn't -- 1.1 ::DO :=Marshall: come and let me show you Chicago. Do I have to make you promise again? 1.2 ::DO :=Birdie: Why, Regina! Do you think he did? 1.2 ::DO :=Oscar: What do you mean, Ben? 1.2 ::DO :=Oscar: about buying it. Make a nice change. Do you good, Birdie, a change of climate. 1.2 ::DO :=Ben: be a most pleasant way to live. What do you want, Regina? 1.2 ::DO :=Birdie: Just where Mama's used to be. Oh, I do think we could be happier there. Papa 1.2 ::DO :=Ben: What do you want, Regina? 1.3 ::DO :=Ben: too many. I said that I had, and I do, estimate the profits very high -- for 1.3 ::DO :=Oscar: want you to benefit from anything we do. 1.3 ::DO :=Regina: addition to your concerns for me, you do not want control to go out of the family. 1.3 ::DO :=Oscar: Now, now. Nobody says we want to do that. We would like to have you in and 1.3 ::DO :=Ben: share? Well, I don't believe it. But I do believe that's what you want. Am I right, 1.3 ::DO :=Regina: if you don't care how sick he is, I do. 1.3 ::DO :=Ben: What do you want? 1.3 ::DO :=Ben: don't want to fight. Here's what I'll do: I'll give Horace forty per cent, instead 1.3 ::DO :=Ben: and a third he really should get. I'll do that, provided he is home and his money 1.3 ::DO :=Oscar: done all the things you didn't want to do. And this is what I -- 1.3 ::DO :=Oscar: Horace will do what you tell him to. 1.3 ::DO :=Regina: word that I will think about it. Now do leave me alone. 1.4 ::DO :=Birdie: He may be too sick. She couldn't do that -- 1.4 ::DO :=Regina: You couldn't do what I tell you to do, Alexandra? 1.4 ::DO :=Regina: You couldn't do what I tell you to do, Alexandra? 1.4 ::DO :=Leo: you are. Wish it were me. What I could do in a place like Baltimore! 1.4 ::DO :=Alexandra: can guess the kind of things you could do. 1.4 ::DO :=Birdie: marry Leo. I am not going to let them do that to you -- 1.4 ::DO :=Alexandra: I'm grown now. Nobody can make me do anything. 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: You do a lot of judging around here, Addie, eh? 2.1 ::DO :=Regina: me that ten times last night. My, you do fret so, Oscar. Anything might have happened. 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: have a message to stay at the bank and do your work. 2.1 ::DO :=Leo: What do you think has happened to them? Supposed 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: What do I care who gets my share? I been shaved 2.1 ::DO :=Leo: his safe deposit box. All he's got to do is open the box. 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: A piece of a violin! What do you think of that! 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: How do you know what's in the box, son? 2.1 ::DO :=Oscar: late these days. Is that the way they do things in Chicago society? 2.1 ::DO :=Ben: is a good time for us all, eh? What do you think has really happened to Horace, 2.1 ::DO :=Regina: before I've had something hot. Do be still, Leo. 2.2 ::DO :=Alexandra: you feel bad again. I knew you did. Do you want your medicine? 2.2 ::DO :=Alexandra: Oh, are they all here? Why do they always have to be here? I was hoping 2.2 ::DO :=Horace: I wanted to do it before I came here. I was thinking 2.2 ::DO :=Horace: What has Zan to do with any business of Oscar's? Whatever 2.2 ::DO :=Regina: What do the doctors think caused your bad hea 2.2 ::DO :=Horace: What do you mean? 2.3 ::DO :=Regina: I'll try. Really, I will. Please do this for me now. You will see what I've 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: pride, you know. Cheap wages. "What do you mean by cheap wages?" I say to Marshall. 2.3 ::DO :=Horace: other just a little more than they do now. 2.3 ::DO :=Regina: Do you mean that you are turning this down? 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: he'd like explained. Tomorrow will do. I can -- 2.3 ::DO :=Horace: Regina, I'm sorry. But I must do what I think best. We'll talk about it 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: woman to frown. Softness and a smile do more to the heart of men -- 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: What the hell do you expect me to do? 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: What the hell do you expect me to do? 2.3 ::DO :=Oscar: right through our fingers. You can't do a thing. But there may be something I 2.3 ::DO :=Oscar: But there may be something I could do for us. Or, I might better say, Leo could 2.3 ::DO :=Oscar: us. Or, I might better say, Leo could do for us. Ain't that true, son? Ain't it 2.3 ::DO :=Regina: Oscar is going to Chi -- What do you mean? 2.3 ::DO :=Ben: You are getting out of hand. Since when do I take orders from you? 2.3 ::DO :=Horace: But it's not my fault I'm dying. I'll do no more harm now. I've done enough. I'll 2.3 ::DO :=Horace: enough. I'll die my own way. And I'll do it without making the world any worse. 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: so much. A glass of elderberry will do more good. 3.1 ::DO :=Alexandra: Do you want your medicine, Papa? 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: it ain't right to stand and watch them do it. 3.1 ::DO :=Birdie: in my life. You know as well as I do. I never had a headache, Zan. That's a 3.1 ::DO :=Birdie: years you'll just be like me. They'll do all the same things to you. You know what? 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: What can I do? 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: How can I do that? Do you think they'd let me just 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: How can I do that? Do you think they'd let me just go away with 3.1 ::DO :=Horace: you make Zan stand firm and Fowler'll do the rest. Addie, I'd like to leave you 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: Don't you do that, Mr. Horace. A nigger woman in a 3.1 ::DO :=Cal: little early cause he got something to do. And then Mr. Manders say Mr. Leo should 3.1 ::DO :=Cal: Some men take everything easy and some do not. 3.1 ::DO :=Horace: the truth; he has got something to do. I hope Manders don't keep him too long. 3.1 ::DO :=Addie: you don't feel well and it won't do no good -- 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: Before you do I want to tell you that after all, we 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: Do you think I'm crazy enough to believe 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: What did they do? Walk to Chicago? Have you really gone 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: Why have you waited three days to do anything? This will make a fine story 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: won't let you punish me. If you won't do anything, I will. Now. 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: You won't do anything. Because you can't. It won't 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: anything. Because you can't. It won't do you any good to make trouble because I 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: You would do that? 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: hands. There is nothing for you to do. 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: on them, and there is nothing I can do about it. Is that right? 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: any minute to see what I am going to do. I took good care to see that word reached 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: mighty relieved to know I'm going to do nothing and Ben will think it all a capital 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: end of that. There's nothing you can do to them, nothing you can do to me. 3.2 ::DO :=Horace: you can do to them, nothing you can do to me. 3.2 ::DO :=Regina: Oh, I think you do. Well, we haven't been very good together. 3.3 ::DO :=Ben: How do you know that? 3.3 ::DO :=Oscar: Ben -- What -- Do you think he's seen the -- 3.3 ::DO :=Ben: Put it down. What are you going to do with it, eat it? 3.3 ::DO :=Leo: You don't believe it? What do I care what you believe? I do the dirty 3.3 ::DO :=Leo: it? What do I care what you believe? I do the dirty work and then -- 3.3 ::DO :=Oscar: What do you mean? 3.3 ::DO :=Oscar: Don't you understand? It can't do no harm to say it -- 3.3 ::DO :=Leo: But all he has to do is say he didn't lend them to me -- 3.3 ::DO :=Regina: I don't think there is much for him to do. 3.3 ::DO :=Oscar: should go up? Is there anything we can do for Horace -- 3.3 ::DO :=Leo: The bonds. What do you mean? What bonds? What -- 3.3 ::DO :=Regina: it enough that he stole them from me? Do I have to listen to this in the barga 3.3 ::DO :=Regina: He said there was nothing I could do about it. He said the rest of his money 3.3 ::DO :=Regina: Horace said there was nothing I could do about it as long as he was alive to say 3.3 ::DO :=Ben: Since when do I take orders form you? 3.3 ::DO :=Ben: clipped your wings and very wittily. Do I have to clip them, too? You'd get farther 3.3 ::DO :=Regina: to swear that it was you and Leo! What do you say to that? Oh, don't be angry, Oscar. 3.4 ::DO :=Oscar: What kind of talk is this? You couldn't do anything like that! We're your own brothers. 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: hear any more from any of you. You'll do no more bargaining in this house. I'll 3.4 ::DO :=Oscar: Are you going to let her do this -- 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: And what do you answer? 3.4 ::DO :=Ben: never, but maybe some day. When I do I'll let you know. 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: When you do, write me. I will be in Chicago. Ah, Ben, 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: What do you want to talk to me about, Alexand 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: what I want, too. Life goes too fast. Do what you want; think what you want; go 3.4 ::DO :=Regina: stay. Too many people used to make me do too many things. No, I won't make you 3.4 ::DO :=Alexandra: who stood around and watched them do it. And just now Uncle Ben said the same 3.4 ::DO :=Alexandra: going to stand around and watch you do it. Tell him I'll be fighting as hard 1.2 ::DOCTOR :=Birdie: able to move around. You know what the doctor wrote. 3.2 ::DOCTOR :=Regina: Remember when I went to Doctor Sloan and I told you he said there 3.2 ::DOCTOR :=Addie: I'm going for the doctor. Go upstairs. 3.3 ::DOCTOR :=Ben: him we'll go over to Senateville for Doctor Morris. And don't think I'm dismissing 1.3 ::DOCTORS :=Regina: any moment you choose. You know what doctors are like once they get their hands 1.4 ::DOCTORS :=Regina: longer and listen to those alarmist doctors. You are doing this entirely for 2.2 ::DOCTORS :=Addie: Them fancy doctors, they give you help? 2.2 ::DOCTORS :=Regina: What do the doctors think caused your bad heart? 2.2 ::DOCTORS :=Regina: you of it. Anyway I never believe doctors when they talk about -- when they 1.3 ::DOES :=Regina: And what does that mean? 2.1 ::DOES :=Oscar: Is that the truth? Does anybody else know that you opened it? 2.1 ::DOES :=Leo: coupons, and sometimes Manders even does that for him. Uncle Horace don't even 2.1 ::DOES :=Ben: for years and, in any case, the train does not go through Savannah. 3.1 ::DOES :=Addie: the cakes, and a little elderberry does the stomach good in the rain. 3.3 ::DOES :=Ben: That Leo -- He's no fool. Does Manders know the bonds are missing? 3.3 ::DOES :=Ben: it may work out all right. If she does know, you're to say he lent you the 3.3 ::DOES :=Ben: reason, he doesn't seem to be talking, does he? 1.3 ::DOESN'T :=Oscar: money. Your third, Horace's I mean, doesn't seem to be ready. Ben has written 1.3 ::DOESN'T :=Oscar: It's beginning to look as if he doesn't want to come home. 1.3 ::DOESN'T :=Regina: he may be keeping silent because he doesn't think he is getting enough for his 2.1 ::DOESN'T :=Oscar: this is only April -- and if he doesn't look at them until Fall, he wouldn't 2.2 ::DOESN'T :=Alexandra: He doesn't feel all right. He just says that. 2.2 ::DOESN'T :=Horace: home. She's tried to tell me, but she doesn't seem to know herself. 2.3 ::DOESN'T :=Ben: Oscar doesn't mind. Not worth fighting about now, 2.3 ::DOESN'T :=Oscar: Your uncle doesn't wish to know your friend's name. 3.1 ::DOESN'T :=Alexandra: by ourselves, some place else, and it doesn't seem to work. Come now, Aunt Birdie, 3.3 ::DOESN'T :=Ben: he didn't. Now, listen to me. If she doesn't know, it may work out all right. 3.3 ::DOESN'T :=Ben: But for some reason, he doesn't seem to be talking, does he? 3.3 ::DOESN'T :=Regina: think Horace will live. And if he doesn't live I shall want seventy-five per 1.1 ::DOING :=Birdie: What am I doing? I am not doing anything. What am I 1.1 ::DOING :=Birdie: What am I doing? I am not doing anything. What am I doing? 1.1 ::DOING :=Birdie: I am not doing anything. What am I doing? 1.1 ::DOING :=Birdie: to talk about it. That's all I was doing. 1.3 ::DOING :=Ben: their strength, but I don't mind doing it if it's got to be done. You ought 1.4 ::DOING :=Regina: But your are doing this for Papa's own good. You must 1.4 ::DOING :=Regina: to those alarmist doctors. You are doing this entirely for his sake. Tell your 2.1 ::DOING :=Regina: Oh, it's you, Oscar. What are you doing here so early? I haven't been down 2.1 ::DOING :=Oscar: What you doing here, son? 3.1 ::DOING :=Cal: wipe my hands right after. Can't help doing it. Well, while I'm wiping my hands, 3.4 ::DOING :=Alexandra: What was Papa doing on the staircase? 3.4 ::DOING :=Regina: the story forever. That's one way of doing it, and the way I prefer. You know 3.4 ::DOING :=Ben: What is a man in a wheel chair doing on a staircase? I ask myself that. 3.1 ::DOLLAR :=Addie: Seventeen hundred dollar bills! My God, Mr. Horace, I won't 1.3 ::DOLLARS :=Oscar: will put up four hundred thousand dollars. For fifty-one per cent -- a controlling 1.3 ::DOLLARS :=Oscar: two hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars besides offering him certain benefits 1.3 ::DOLLARS :=Oscar: two hundred and twenty- five thousand dollars is a lot of money. 2.1 ::DOLLARS :=Leo: mighty worried. Seventy-five thousand dollars worried. 2.3 ::DOLLARS :=Ben: give his right arm for three silver dollars every week, eh, Horace? 2.3 ::DOLLARS :=Oscar: friend owns eighty-eight thousand dollars in Union Pacific bonds. Leo's friend 3.1 ::DOLLARS :=Horace: drawer there's seventeen hundred dollars bills. It's money left from my trip. 3.2 ::DOLLARS :=Horace: bonds were gone. Eighty-eight thousand dollars gone. 3.2 ::DOLLARS :=Horace: leaving you eighty-eight thousand dollars in Union Pacific bonds. The rest 3.2 ::DOLLARS' :=Horace: I had eighty-eight thousand dollars' worth of Union Pacific bonds in 1.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: He wasn't bored. I don't believe he was bored. He's a very educated, 1.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: educated, cultured gentleman. I just don't believe it. You always talk like that 1.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: I don't believe he was bored. I just don't 1.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: I don't believe he was bored. I just don't believe it. Some people like music 1.1 ::DON'T :=Ben: A great many Southerners don't. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't be stubborn, Birdie. Mr. Marshall wants 1.1 ::DON'T :=Marshall: You don't call this keeping what belongs to 1.1 ::DON'T :=Regina: I hope you don't find my brothers too obvious, Mr. Marshall. 1.1 ::DON'T :=Ben: as it is for you and me. If it don't give him something here, then he don't 1.1 ::DON'T :=Ben: don't give him something here, then he don't pick the cotton right. Money isn't 1.1 ::DON'T :=Marshall: Now you don't have to convince me that you are the 1.1 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't like to say good-bye to you, Mr. M 1.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: being lonely with all that money. I don't think he likes his wife. 1.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: Don't look so scared about everything, Birdie 1.2 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Well. Well, I don't know. Maybe. Well, I guess I'd know 1.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: Looks like it! Don't pretend. You're like a cat who's been 1.2 ::DON'T :=Ben: glass is better than a bond. Anyway it don't hurt to have both. 1.2 ::DON'T :=Ben: Caution. Don't count the chickens. Well, God would 1.2 ::DON'T :=Oscar: I don't know. The pleasure of seeing the bricks 1.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: things to buy -- because I certainly don't now -- I shall go to Paris and buy 1.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: you are. You will be rich and the rich don't have to be subtle. 1.2 ::DON'T :=Birdie: to stop shooting. I mean, so much. I don't like to see animals and birds killed 1.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: Well, I don't know. I don't know about these things. 1.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: Well, I don't know. I don't know about these things. It would seem 1.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: held out? For a larger share? Well, I don't believe it. But I do believe that's 1.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't know. That's not my business. But perhaps 1.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Listen. I don't believe you can even get Horace to 1.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: is a very sick man. And even if you don't care how sick he is, I do. 1.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't want to fight, Ben -- 1.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: I don't either. You won't get it. There isn't 1.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: not pretty. But we need you, and I don't want to fight. Here's what I'll do: 1.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: strong to parade their strength, but I don't mind doing it if it's got to be done. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Need him home? I don't understand. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: start getting Alexandra ready now. Why don't you all go home? 1.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: Good night, Ben. Good night, Oscar -- Don't be so glum, Oscar. It makes you look 1.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: I don't understand about my going, Aunt Birdie. 1.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: But anyway, Papa will be home again. Don't worry about me. I can take care of 1.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Don't worry about the horses. I'm sorry I 1.4 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Don't you understand? They'll make you. They'll 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: certainly has happened. People don't just say they are arriving on Thursday 2.1 ::DON'T :=Regina: At home, probably. Really, Oscar, I don't tuck him in his bed and I don't take 2.1 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't tuck him in his bed and I don't take him out of it. Have some coffee 2.1 ::DON'T :=Regina: him out of it. Have some coffee and don't worry so much. 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: The boys in the bank don't know a thing. They haven't had any 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: got no objections so long as they don't interfere with serious things. Outside 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Damn well ought to be. First he don't answer the letters, then he don't come 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: he don't answer the letters, then he don't come home -- 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: What will happen if Uncle Horace don't come home or don't -- 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: if Uncle Horace don't come home or don't -- 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Or don't put up the money? Oh, we'll get it 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: But you don't want outsiders. 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't talk so loud. Don't you worry. When 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't talk so loud. Don't you worry. When I die, you'll have 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: You think Uncle Horace don't want to go in on this? 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: plenty and plenty to invest with. He don't even have to sell anything. Eighty-eight 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: did. My word of honor. I suppose that don't excuse me for looking -- but I did 2.1 ::DON'T :=Oscar: know that you opened it? Come, Leo, don't be afraid of speaking the truth to 2.1 ::DON'T :=Leo: even does that for him. Uncle Horace don't even have the keys. Manders keeps them 2.1 ::DON'T :=Ben: You don't think maybe he never started from Baltimore 2.2 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Don't tell me how worried you were. We couldn't 2.2 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: and I made him stop and rest -- No, don't take that. That's father's medicine. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: No, I don't feel that way. I'm just tired, darling. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Yes, but Mama will be mad if I don't tell her we're here. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: your coffee's as good as ever. They don't have such good coffee up north. Is 2.2 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: when -- only if he feels very bad. Now don't move until I come back and don't talk 2.2 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Now don't move until I come back and don't talk much and remember about his medicine, 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: They can't make coffee up north. They don't like red pepper, either. God, that's 2.2 ::DON'T :=Addie: I don't know. All I know is big things are 2.2 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Simon said he saw the buggy. Oh, you don't look well, Horace. No, you don't. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Birdie: you don't look well, Horace. No, you don't. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't stand there holding that biscuit in 2.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: Why don't you go finish your breakfast and let 2.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: by yourself, no kinfolks, no friends. Don't try to tell me you didn't have a bad 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: You misunderstand. I don't intend to gossip about my sickness. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: Caused my heart to be bad? I don't think that's the best scientific theory. 2.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: that's the best scientific theory. You don't catch heart trouble in bed. 2.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: But you don't know that in the last few days Ben 2.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Marshall. We got good folks and we don't stand for any fancy fooling." 2.3 ::DON'T :=Horace: Us? You and me? I don't think so. We've got enough money, Regina. 2.3 ::DON'T :=Horace: I don't know them all myself. Let's leave it 2.3 ::DON'T :=Horace: Regina, it's been a hard trip. I don't feel well. Please leave me alone n 2.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Now just suppose she don't change his mind? Just suppose he keeps 2.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: That means we'd be working for them, don't it, Ben? 2.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: You don't have to tell me the things I told you 2.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: his mind. She always has. Maybe. But I don't believe it. I never did believe he 2.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: in Union Pacific bonds. Leo's friend don't look at the bonds much -- not for five 2.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: I don't know. I -- well, I -- 2.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: I don't want to know where they are. 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Mama -- Mama -- don't . . . Uncle Ben! Uncle Ben! Please 2.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Now you see. Everything is over. Don't worry. Alexandra, I want you to tell 2.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: sorry I am that I had to leave. And don't worry so, my dear. Married folk frequently 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: like this? He's sick. He's very sick. Don't you know that? I won't let you. 2.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: Did a ghost arrive with the money? I don't believe you. Come back here. Come back 2.3 ::DON'T :=Horace: And so they don't need you, and so you will not have 2.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: You hate to see anybody live now, don't you? You hate to think that I'm going 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Mama! Don't -- Don't listen, Papa. Just don't listen. 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Mama! Don't -- Don't listen, Papa. Just don't listen. Go 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Mama! Don't -- Don't listen, Papa. Just don't listen. Go away -- 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Papa! Don't -- Don't listen -- Don't -- 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Papa! Don't -- Don't listen -- Don't -- 2.3 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: Papa! Don't -- Don't listen -- Don't -- 3.1 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: you can to out in the yard tomorrow. Don't be restless. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Come over here, Mr. Horace, and don't be thinking so much. A glass of elderberry 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: He meant it. Ah, well -- your papa don't like to admit it, but he's been mighty 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Oh, I don't think so. I don't think it will. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Oh, I don't think so. I don't think it will. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: girl. For hiccoughs. You know, I don't think people get hiccoughs any more. 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: and kind. I like people to be kind. Don't you, Horace; don't you like people 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: people to be kind. Don't you, Horace; don't you like people to be kind? 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: all want to know something? Well, I don't like Leo. My very own son, and I don't 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: don't like Leo. My very own son, and I don't like him. My, I guess I even like Oscar 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: I don't know. I thought I liked him. He was 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Miss Birdie, don't -- 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Well, don't. Don't love me. Because in twenty years 3.1 ::DON'T :=Birdie: Well, don't. Don't love me. Because in twenty years you'll 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Zan had to hear it. You feel bad, don't you? 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Don't you do that, Mr. Horace. A nigger woman 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: It's mighty kind and good of you. I don't know what to say for thanks -- 3.1 ::DON'T :=Horace: got something to do. I hope Manders don't keep him too long. No. Leave me where 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Mr. Horace. Don't talk no more today. you don't feel 3.1 ::DON'T :=Addie: Horace. Don't talk no more today. you don't feel well and it won't do no good 3.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: room is my part of the house. Please don't come down here again. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: I don't look in that box very often, but three 3.2 ::DON'T :=Horace: Don't interrupt me again. Because I had made 3.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't believe it. 3.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: been very good together. Anyway, I don't hate you either. I have only contempt 3.2 ::DON'T :=Regina: I had made a mistake. As for you -- I don't know. It was almost as if I couldn't 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: I don't know. I don't know. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: I don't know. I don't know. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: Sol Fowler with him. I guess that don't mean a thing either. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Put it down. Don't touch it again. Now sit down and shut 3.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Why didn't he say something -- I don't understand -- 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: I don't believe that. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: You don't believe it? What do I care what you 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: If you don't shut that little fool up, I'll show 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: mean. For some reason he knows, but he don't say a word. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: How could I tell? I was half crazy. I don't think so. Because Manders seemed kind 3.3 ::DON'T :=Cal: I don't know, Mr. Ben. He was bad. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't you understand? It can't do no harm 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't think there is much for him to do. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Oh, don't talk like that. He's come through attacks 3.3 ::DON'T :=Oscar: Don't you think we should go up? Is there 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: You don't feel well. Ah -- 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: No, I don't. Horace told me about the bonds this 3.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: I don't know what you're talking about. What 3.3 ::DON'T :=Leo: I didn't steal anything. I don't know why -- 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Don't talk that way. That's foolish. I think 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: to Senateville for Doctor Morris. And don't think I'm dismissing this other business. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't think you had better go yet. I think 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: Cal has gone for him. I don't want you to go. 3.3 ::DON'T :=Ben: Now don't worry and -- 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: You don't -- yet. Come back, Oscar. You too, 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: quite safe while Horace lives. But I don't think Horace will live. And if he doesn't 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: Yes. And if I don't get what I want I am going to put all 3.3 ::DON'T :=Regina: and Leo! What do you say to that? Oh, don't be angry, Oscar. I'm going to see that 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: you. But I won't care much if they don't. Because by that time you'll be ruined. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: off in an hour. And you know it. Now I don't want to hear any more from any of you. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: You know me well enough to know that I don't mind taking the other way. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Ben: planning and I get what I want. Then I don't get it. But I'm not discouraged. The 3.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: I've changed my mind. I don't want to talk. There's nothing to talk 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: you the way I wanted it to be for me. Don't sit there staring. You've been around 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: I'm very tired. I shall go to bed. I don't want any supper. Put the lights out 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: Call me when Dr. Sloan gets here. I don't want to see anybody else. I don't want 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: I don't want to see anybody else. I don't want any condolence calls tonight. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Alexandra: be fighting some place where people don't just stand around and watch. 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: to think you were all sugar water. We don't have to be bad friends. I don't want 3.4 ::DON'T :=Regina: We don't have to be bad friends. I don't want us to be bad friends, Alexandra. 1.2 ::DONE :=Ben: had his signature. But we've all done business with men whose word over a 1.3 ::DONE :=Regina: I want a bigger share. You boys have done that. I've heard you say so. 1.3 ::DONE :=Oscar: for you. For thirty-five years I've done all the things you didn't want to do. 1.3 ::DONE :=Ben: don't mind doing it if it's got to be done. You ought to take these things better, 1.4 ::DONE :=Leo: good place. Looks like maybe they were done in England. Lots of men in the North 2.2 ::DONE :=Regina: holiday of thinking. Couldn't you have done that here? 2.3 ::DONE :=Regina: for me now. You will see what I've done while you've been away. How I watched 2.3 ::DONE :=Regina: How I watched your interests. And I've done very well too. But things can't be delayed 2.3 ::DONE :=Ben: I have been. And why not? Horace has done Hubbard Sons many a good turn. Why shouldn't 2.3 ::DONE :=Oscar: Nothing. You done your almighty best. Nobody could blame 2.3 ::DONE :=Horace: dying. I'll do no more harm now. I've done enough. I'll die my own way. And I'll 1.1 ::DOOR :=Regina: me? Oh, no. My brother Ben lives next door. My brother Oscar and his family live 1.2 ::DOOR :=Regina: goes the man who has opened the door to our future. 3.1 ::DOOR :=Cal: it himself Wednesday. I opened the door to him and he say, "Hello, Cal, coming 3.3 ::DOOR :=Leo: saw any use ringing a bell when a door was open. If you are going to ring a 1.1 ::DOWN :=Oscar: Sit down, Birdie. Sit down now. 1.1 ::DOWN :=Oscar: Sit down, Birdie. Sit down now. 1.1 ::DOWN :=Regina: Oh, yes. Even down here we read about Mrs. Marshall in 1.1 ::DOWN :=Ben: Birdie's family, for example, looked down on them. To make a long story short, 1.1 ::DOWN :=Ben: Fill them up, boy, fill them up. Down here, sir, we have a strange custom. 1.1 ::DOWN :=Oscar: Alexandra! You will drive Mr. Marshall down. 1.2 ::DOWN :=Ben: You remember I told him that down here we drink the last drink for a 1.2 ::DOWN :=Birdie: and the lawn was so smooth all the way down to the river, with the trims of zinnias 2.1 ::DOWN :=Addie: Miss Regina ain't down yet. 2.1 ::DOWN :=Regina: doing here so early? I haven't been down yet. I'm not finished dressing. 2.1 ::DOWN :=Oscar: of thing. You got to start settling down. You going to be a married man one of 2.2 ::DOWN :=Horace: Glad to be sitting down. 2.2 ::DOWN :=Regina: Now sit down. What did happen to you and where's 2.2 ::DOWN :=Regina: tired but, but -- couldn't you stay down here a few minutes longer? I want Ben 2.3 ::DOWN :=Regina: Do you mean that you are turning this down? Is it possible that's what you mea 2.3 ::DOWN :=Ben: No, that's not what he means. Turning down a fortune. Horace is tired. He's rather 3.1 ::DOWN :=Horace: All right. Now you walk yourself down to the bank. 3.1 ::DOWN :=Cal: going to say I understand. I'm going down to tell a man he give you something 3.1 ::DOWN :=Cal: Nothing. I just went down and spoke my piece. Just like you told 3.1 ::DOWN :=Cal: Manders say Mr. Leo should sit right down and finish up his work and stop acting 3.1 ::DOWN :=Cal: made him Mr. President. So he sit down. Now, just like I told you, Mr. Manders 3.2 ::DOWN :=Regina: part of the house. Please don't come down here again. 3.3 ::DOWN :=Leo: Because Cal comes down to Manders and says the box came O.K. 3.3 ::DOWN :=Ben: There's the box. You ass. Put it down. What are you going to do with it, eat 3.3 ::DOWN :=Ben: Put it down. Don't touch it again. Now sit down 3.3 ::DOWN :=Ben: it down. Don't touch it again. Now sit down and shut up for a minute. 3.3 ::DOWN :=Regina: I think you had better stay and sit down. 3.3 ::DOWN :=Regina: You will come back in this room and sit down. I have something more to say. 3.4 ::DOWN :=Regina: Please go and lie down, my dear. We all need time to get over 2.1 ::DOWNSTAIRS :=Regina: Who's downstairs, Addie? Oh, it's you, Oscar. What 2.2 ::DR :=Alexandra: No. Dr. Reeves said not much coffee. Just now 3.3 ::DR :=Addie: Dr. Sloan's over at the Ballongs. Hitch the 3.4 ::DR :=Addie: Cal is back, Miss Regina. He says Dr. Sloan will be coming in a few minute 3.4 ::DR :=Regina: hot. You look very tired. Call me when Dr. Sloan gets here. I don't want to see 2.3 ::DRAW :=Ben: Good. Draw a check for our part. You can take the 3.4 ::DRAW :=Regina: we ever talked about them. You can draw up the necessary papers tomorrow. 1.1 ::DRAWER :=Birdie: home for me. He's to look in my desk drawer and -- My, Addie. What a good supper! 1.1 ::DRAWER :=Birdie: He's to look in my desk, the left drawer, and bring my music album right away. 1.1 ::DRAWER :=Birdie: to sit there and listen and -- Left drawer, Cal. Tell him that twice because 1.1 ::DRAWER :=Birdie: Left drawer, Cal, and tell him to bring the blue 2.1 ::DRAWER :=Leo: up and put the keys back in Manders' drawer -- 3.1 ::DRAWER :=Horace: I know. But upstairs in the armoire drawer there's seventeen hundred dollars 2.3 ::DREAM :=Ben: beyond our finger tips. It's been my dream: my dream to make those fingers grow 2.3 ::DREAM :=Ben: finger tips. It's been my dream: my dream to make those fingers grow longer: 2.3 ::DREAM :=Ben: a lucky man, Horace, a lucky man. To dream and to live to get what you've dreamed 2.3 ::DREAMED :=Ben: dream and to live to get what you've dreamed of. That's my idea of a lucky man. 2.2 ::DRESS :=Addie: Change your linens, get out a fresh dress and give your hair a good brushing 3.1 ::DRESS :=Birdie: always laughed. A big party, a lovely dress from Mr. Worth in Paris, France, and 2.2 ::DRESSED :=Oscar: Did you come across the square dressed that way? My dear Birdie, I -- 3.1 ::DRESSES :=Alexandra: Gone to Miss Safronia's to fit her dresses. 2.1 ::DRESSING :=Regina: been down yet. I'm not finished dressing. 1.1 ::DRINK :=Marshall: the rest of us, you eat better, you drink better. I wonder you find time, or 1.1 ::DRINK :=Ben: sir, we have a strange custom. We drink the last drink for a toast. That's 1.1 ::DRINK :=Ben: a strange custom. We drink the last drink for a toast. That's to prove that the 1.1 ::DRINK :=Ben: always still on his feet for the last drink. It was Henry Frick, your Mr. Henry 1.2 ::DRINK :=Regina: the cream. Now we must all have a drink to celebrate. 1.2 ::DRINK :=Ben: remember I told him that down here we drink the last drink for a toast? 1.2 ::DRINK :=Ben: him that down here we drink the last drink for a toast? 1.2 ::DRINK :=Ben: Well, when he lifted his glass to drink, I closed my eyes and saw the bricks 2.2 ::DRINK :=Horace: good. You remember how I used to drink it? Ten, twelve cups a day. So strong 3.1 ::DRINK :=Birdie: Zan. That's a lie they tell for me. I drink. All by myself, in my own room, by 3.1 ::DRINK :=Birdie: myself, in my own room, by myself, I drink. Then, when they want to hide it, they 2.3 ::DRIPPED :=Oscar: blame you if the whole thing just dripped away right through our fingers. You 1.1 ::DRIVE :=Oscar: The children will drive you to the depot. Leo! Alexandra! You 1.1 ::DRIVE :=Oscar: to the depot. Leo! Alexandra! You will drive Mr. Marshall down. 1.1 ::DRIVE :=Leo: Yes, sir. Not often Uncle Ben lets me drive the horses. And a beautiful pair they 1.1 ::DRIVE :=Alexandra: May I drive tonight, Uncle Ben, please? I'd like 3.3 ::DRIVE :=Ben: That's foolish. I think we ought to drive out for Sloan ourselves. If we can't 1.4 ::DRIVING :=Ben: Were you careful driving the horses? 1.1 ::DROP :=Birdie: tell him not to let any of the things drop out of the album and to bring it right 1.1 ::DUET :=Alexandra: She's my teacher. May we play a duet? May we, Mama? 2.1 ::DUTY :=Oscar: be, you should be. It's every man's duty to thing of himself. 2.2 ::DUTY :=Regina: hospital, but I didn't know where my duty was. Here, or with you. But you know 2.1 ::DYING :=Regina: You're always remembering about people dying. Now I intend to eat my breakfast in 2.3 ::DYING :=Horace: on it. Not me. Maybe it's easy for the dying to be honest. But it's not my fault 2.3 ::DYING :=Horace: be honest. But it's not my fault I'm dying. I'll do no more harm now. I've done 1.1 ::EACH :=Marshall: Keeping your family together to share each other's lives. My family moves around 2.2 ::EACH :=Horace: Well, we'll try our best with each other. 2.3 ::EACH :=Regina: You've said we'll try our best with each other. I'll try. Really, I will. Please 2.3 ::EACH :=Horace: of that? How little people know about each other! But you'll know better about 2.3 ::EACH :=Horace: get around to playing them off against each other. You can save a little money that 2.3 ::EACH :=Horace: that way, Ben. And make them hate each other just a little more than they do 3.3 ::EACH :=Regina: Well. We haven't seen each other since the day of our fight. 2.1 ::EARLY :=Regina: you, Oscar. What are you doing here so early? I haven't been down yet. I'm not finished 2.1 ::EARLY :=Regina: have heard it. Quite a convention so early in the morning, aren't you all? 3.1 ::EARLY :=Cal: Mr. Leo say he got to leave a little early cause he got something to do. And then 3.2 ::EARLY :=Regina: that you would get heart trouble so early and so bad. I'm lucky, Horace. I've 3.3 ::EARLY :=Cal: He wasn't feeling bad early. Then there he is next thing on the 3.1 ::EARTH :=Addie: Well, there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in 3.4 ::EARTH :=Alexandra: said there were people who ate the earth and other people who stood around and 2.1 ::EASILY :=Oscar: have yours and Alexandra's. I'm not so easily licked. 2.1 ::EASY :=Oscar: money? Oh, we'll get it from outside. Easy enough. 2.1 ::EASY :=Leo: the box and take them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that box! 2.1 ::EASY :=Leo: and take them out. That's all. Easy as easy can be. The things in that box! There's 2.1 ::EASY :=Oscar: A loan for three months, maybe four, easy enough for us to pay it back then. Anyway, 2.3 ::EASY :=Horace: and live on it. Not me. Maybe it's easy for the dying to be honest. But it's 3.1 ::EASY :=Cal: it all right. Some men take everything easy and some do not. 1.1 ::EAT :=Marshall: live better than the rest of us, you eat better, you drink better. I wonder you 2.1 ::EAT :=Regina: about people dying. Now I intend to eat my breakfast in peace, and read my n 3.1 ::EAT :=Addie: niggers. Well, there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it 3.1 ::EAT :=Addie: there are people who eat the earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible 3.1 ::EAT :=Addie: people who stand around and watch them eat it. Sometimes I think it ain't right 3.3 ::EAT :=Ben: What are you going to do with it, eat it? 2.2 ::EATING :=Addie: They're all in there eating breakfast. 1.1 ::EDUCATED :=Birdie: a polite man with his manners and very educated and cultured and I've told him all 1.1 ::EDUCATED :=Birdie: believe he was bored. He's a very educated, cultured gentleman. I just don't 1.1 ::EH :=Ben: Worldly, eh? Worldly, did you say? 1.2 ::EH :=Oscar: might take a few trips here and there, eh, Birdie? 1.4 ::EH :=Oscar: almost old enough to get married. Eh, son? 1.4 ::EH :=Oscar: to get married, you're thinking, eh? 2.1 ::EH :=Oscar: a lot of judging around here, Addie, eh? Judging of your white folks, I mean. 2.1 ::EH :=Ben: Eighty-one is a good time for us all, eh? What do you think has really happened 2.3 ::EH :=Horace: know better about Regina next time, eh, Ben? Now let's see. We're getting a bigger 2.3 ::EH :=Ben: mind. Not worth fighting about now, eh, Oscar? 2.3 ::EH :=Ben: for three silver dollars every week, eh, Horace? 2.1 ::EIGHT :=Oscar: my head cold. First day I missed in eight years. 2.3 ::EIGHT :=Ben: he says to me, "and that averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By God," I 2.3 ::EIGHT :=Ben: me, "and that averages eight a week," "Eight a week! By God," I tell him, "I'd 2.3 ::EIGHT :=Ben: By God," I tell him, "I'd work for eight a week myself." Why, there ain't a 2.1 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT :=Leo: He don't even have to sell anything. Eighty-eight thousand worth of Union Pacific 2.3 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT :=Oscar: Leo's got a friend. Leo's friend owns eighty-eight thousand dollars in Union Pacific 3.2 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT :=Horace: I had eighty-eight thousand dollars' worth of Union 3.2 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT :=Horace: sent for the box. The bonds were gone. Eighty-eight thousand dollars gone. 3.2 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT :=Horace: make a new will, Regina, leaving you eighty-eight thousand dollars in Union Pacific 3.2 ::EIGHTY-EIGHT-THO :=Horace: the bonds -- as a loan from you. An eighty-eight-thousand-dollar loan; they should 2.1 ::EIGHTY-ONE :=Ben: Old Carter died up in Senateville. Eighty-one is a good time for us all, eh? 1.2 ::EITHER :=Regina: were rich? I said I think you should either be a nigger or a millionaire. In between, 1.3 ::EITHER :=Ben: I don't either. You won't get it. There isn't any 2.1 ::EITHER :=Leo: he hasn't listened to Aunt Regina yet, either. Oh, he'll go along. It's too good 2.2 ::EITHER :=Horace: up north. They don't like red pepper, either. God, that's good. You remember how 2.2 ::EITHER :=Horace: God knows I didn't either. I came home wanting so much not to 3.2 ::EITHER :=Regina: together. Anyway, I don't hate you either. I have only contempt for you. I've 3.3 ::EITHER :=Leo: him. I guess that don't mean a thing either. 3.1 ::ELDERBERRY :=Addie: so I made the cakes, and a little elderberry does the stomach good in the 3.1 ::ELDERBERRY :=Addie: don't be thinking so much. A glass of elderberry will do more good. 3.1 ::ELDERBERRY :=Addie: Miss Birdie, that elderberry going to give you a headache 3.1 ::ELDERBERRY :=Birdie: Mama used to give me elderberry wine when I was a little girl. 3.1 ::ELDERBERRY :=Birdie: me on the back and Mama with the elderberry bottle, laughing at me. Everybody 1.1 ::ELEGANT :=Leo: go to Mobile for the ladies, sir. Very elegant worldly ladies, too. 1.2 ::ELSE :=Birdie: And you never let anybody else shoot, and the niggers need it so much 1.3 ::ELSE :=Oscar: up a third and you get a third. What else could he expect? 1.4 ::ELSE :=Birdie: child. I love you more than anybody else -- 2.1 ::ELSE :=Oscar: Is that the truth? Does anybody else know that you opened it? Come, Leo, 2.2 ::ELSE :=Horace: the cup. Addie, before I see anybody else, I want to know why Zan came to fetch 3.1 ::ELSE :=Alexandra: we are just by ourselves, some place else, and it doesn't seem to work. Come now, 3.1 ::ELSE :=Horace: now. Let her see everything. How else is she going to know that she's got 3.4 ::ELSE :=Regina: gets here. I don't want to see anybody else. I don't want any condolence calls tonight. 2.3 ::END :=Oscar: I'll get mine in the end. You can be sure of that. I've got my 2.3 ::END :=Regina: way. Oscar must be in Chicago by the end of the week with the money and contr 2.3 ::END :=Oscar: Yes, sir. Got to be there end of the week. No sense going without the 3.2 ::END :=Horace: joke on you. And that will be the end of that. There's nothing you can do to 3.3 ::END :=Ben: Aren't we starting at the wrong end, Regina? What did Horace tell you? 3.4 ::END :=Alexandra: be foolish. It wouldn't work in the end. 3.4 ::END :=Regina: Alexandra, I've come to the end of my rope. Somewhere there has to be 1.1 ::ENDS :=Ben: Mr. Marshall. Well, sir, the war ends. Lionnet is almost ruined, and the sons 1.4 ::ENGLAND :=Leo: Looks like maybe they were done in England. Lots of men in the North send all 1.4 ::ENGLAND :=Leo: men in the North send all the way to England for their stuff. 2.3 ::ENJOY :=Leo: entitled to Uncle Horace's share. I'd enjoy being a partner -- 1.2 ::ENOUGH :=Ben: for the soul when you've worked hard enough to deserve it. I think I'll have a 1.2 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: of seeing the bricks grow will be enough for me. 1.2 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: about Alexandra? She's seventeen. Old enough to be thinking about marrying. 1.2 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: Very well. We've all heard you. That's enough now. 1.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: will put up the money. That should be enough. 1.3 ::ENOUGH :=Ben: Oh, it was enough. I took your word. But I've got to 1.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: because he doesn't think he is getting enough for his money. Seventy-five thousand 1.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: Am I? Well, you should know me well enough to know that I wouldn't be asking 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: She is going alone. She is getting old enough to take some responsibilities. 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: better learn now. She's almost old enough to get married. Eh, son? 1.4 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: Old enough to get married, you're thinking, 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: on a train at one place and have sense enough to get off at another? 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: Alexandra just hasn't got sense enough to send a message. 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Cal: Bet you got enough bobwhite and squirrel to give every 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: Oh, we'll get it from outside. Easy enough. 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Leo: No, he can't. Natural enough. But I haven't got the bonds and Uncle 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: think your Uncle Horace likes you well enough to lend you the bonds if he decides 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: for three months, maybe four, easy enough for us to pay it back then. Anyway, 2.1 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: The grits isn't hot enough. Take it back. 2.2 ::ENOUGH :=Addie: own valises? Since when I ain't old enough to hold a bottle of medicine? You 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: you didn't think he was offering you enough, and that the time was getting short 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Horace: and me? I don't think so. We've got enough money, Regina. We'll just sit by and 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: I've waited long enough for your answer. I'm not going to 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Leo: they were building the levees high enough. Like the niggers always say: a man 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Leo: of a woman can't build nothing high enough for the Mississippi. 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: what they give. The ones who are rich enough to give will be smart enough to want. 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: are rich enough to give will be smart enough to want. That means we'd be working 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Oscar: Would be kind enough to lend them to us. 2.3 ::ENOUGH :=Horace: I'll do no more harm now. I've done enough. I'll die my own way. And I'll do 3.1 ::ENOUGH :=Birdie: way. She said she was old-fashioned enough not to like people who killed animals 3.1 ::ENOUGH :=Horace: Why not? She's heard enough around here to ask anything. 3.1 ::ENOUGH :=Birdie: you that: he's told it to me often enough. 3.2 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: Do you think I'm crazy enough to believe what you're saying? 3.2 ::ENOUGH :=Horace: and Ben, I think, will be smart enough to see that he's safe. Because I knew 3.3 ::ENOUGH :=Leo: about the bonds. Ain't that clear enough -- 3.3 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: Isn't it enough that he stole them from me? Do I have 3.4 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: are with the Marshall. That will be enough. If it isn't, I'll add what's nec 3.4 ::ENOUGH :=Regina: and the way I prefer. You know me well enough to know that I don't mind taking the 3.4 ::ENOUGH :=Ben: None of us has ever known you well enough, Regina. 1.4 ::ENTIRELY :=Regina: alarmist doctors. You are doing this entirely for his sake. Tell your papa that 1.2 ::ENTITLED :=Ben: to see the bricks grow. But we are all entitled to a little side indulgence. 2.3 ::ENTITLED :=Leo: I'm entitled to Uncle Horace's share. I'd enjoy 3.1 ::ENVELOPE :=Horace: It's money left from my trip. It's an envelope with your name. It's for you. 2.1 ::ER :=Leo: Oh, well. Well, er. Well, one of the boys, sir. It was one 2.2 ::ER :=Addie: And, er And -- well, Zan, she going to marry Mr. 3.1 ::ERRAND :=Horace: on his things. I want him to go on an errand. 2.1 ::ESPECIALLY :=Ben: I'm a natural worrier. Especially when I am getting ready to close 1.3 ::ESTIMATE :=Ben: too many. I said that I had, and I do, estimate the profits very high -- for myself, 1.2 ::ESTIMATED :=Regina: there'll be plenty of money. You have estimated the profits very high. 1.2 ::ESTIMATED :=Ben: I have estimated the profits very high -- for m 1.1 ::EUROPE :=Birdie: how my mama and papa used to go to Europe for the music -- Imagine going all 1.1 ::EUROPE :=Birdie: music -- Imagine going all the way to Europe just to listen to music. Wouldn't 1.1 ::EUROPE :=Marshall: school in the winter; in the summer, Europe with their mother -- 1.1 ::EUROPE :=Ben: everything. Cloth from Paris, trips to Europe, horses you can't raise any more, 2.1 ::EUROPE :=Leo: It was so big we thought we were in Europe. I was just a kid then -- 1.1 ::EVEN :=Regina: Oh, yes. Even down here we read about Mrs. Marshall 1.1 ::EVEN :=Ben: were great days for those people -- even when I can remember. They had the best 1.2 ::EVEN :=Oscar: We might even make a regular trip to Jekyll Island. 1.2 ::EVEN :=Regina: Certainly. And you won't even have to learn to be subtle, Ben. Stay 1.3 ::EVEN :=Oscar: Listen. I don't believe you can even get Horace to come home, much less get 1.3 ::EVEN :=Regina: home. Horace is a very sick man. And even if you don't care how sick he is, I 1.3 ::EVEN :=Ben: will go to Alexandra and Leo. They may even marry some day and -- 1.4 ::EVEN :=Alexandra: marry, Aunt Birdie. I've never even thought about it -- 2.1 ::EVEN :=Leo: and plenty to invest with. He don't even have to sell anything. Eighty-eight 2.1 ::EVEN :=Leo: this -- a piece of an old violin. Not even a whole violin. Just a piece of an old 2.1 ::EVEN :=Leo: the coupons, and sometimes Manders even does that for him. Uncle Horace don't 2.1 ::EVEN :=Leo: does that for him. Uncle Horace don't even have the keys. Manders keeps them for 2.1 ::EVEN :=Oscar: look at them until Fall, he wouldn't even miss them out of the box. 2.1 ::EVEN :=Leo: That's it. He wouldn't even miss them. Ah, well -- 2.1 ::EVEN :=Oscar: No, sir. Wouldn't even miss them. How could he miss them if 2.2 ::EVEN :=Addie: to start out of a building that ain't even up yet. 2.3 ::EVEN :=Horace: you from getting what you want. Not even partly that. I'm sick of you, sick of 3.1 ::EVEN :=Addie: be that way long. Little while now, even sitting here, you'll hear the red bricks 3.1 ::EVEN :=Birdie: and I don't like him. My, I guess I even like Oscar more. 3.1 ::EVEN :=Birdie: Even you won't like me now. You won't like 3.1 ::EVEN :=Horace: only got a little time left. She can even hate me when I'm dead, if she'll only 1.1 ::EVENING :=Addie: You look pretty this evening, Miss Birdie, and young. 1.1 ::EVENING :=Ben: In your evening clothes? Oh, no, my dear. 1.2 ::EVENING :=Oscar: very childish, very excited, all evening. 1.1 ::EVER :=Alexandra: will be the first taste of port I've ever had. 1.1 ::EVER :=Marshall: No one ever had their first taste of a better port. 1.2 ::EVER :=Regina: about Horace when he comes home. If he ever decides to come home. 1.2 ::EVER :=Ben: Nobody's ever heard it before. God forgives those 1.2 ::EVER :=Birdie: Papa used to say that nobody had ever lost their temper at Lionnet, and nobody 1.2 ::EVER :=Birdie: their temper at Lionnet, and nobody ever would. Papa would never let anybody 2.1 ::EVER :=Oscar: Did your Uncle Hora
