(Lyle enters, carrying the child.)

Hi, honey. What a transformation. You look like you used to look when you come courting.

LYLE: I sure didn’t come courting carrying no baby. He was awake, just singing away, and carrying on with his toes. He acts like he thinks he’s got a whole lot of candy attached to the end of his legs. Here. It’s about time for him to eat, ain’t it? How come you looking at me like that? Why you being so nice to me, all of a sudden?

PARNELL: I’ve been lecturing her on the duties of a wife.

LYLE: That so? Well, come on, boy, let’s you and me walk down the road a piece. Believe I’ll buy you a drink. You ain’t ashamed to be seen with me, I hope?

PARNELL: No, I’m not ashamed to be seen with you.

JO: You going to be home for supper?

LYLE: Yeah, sugar. Come on, Parnell.

JO: You come, too, Parnell, you and Loretta, if you’re free. We’d love to have you.

PARNELL: We’ll try to make it. So long, Jo.

JO: So long.
