LLOYD
Why don't you come over here and look at the lake?
BETTY
I c'n see it good--from here.
LLOYD
Come on over the big log, and you c'n see it better.
BETTY
No. I like it here better.
LLOYD
BETTY
Have I? You're sweet to say it.
LLOYD
Why wouldn't I say it?
BETTY
No reason not to. I like to hear it.
LLOYD
Words git in the way some. I cain't think t' say much.
BETTY
They's no need t' say much--
LLOYD
BETTY
You wuzn't dead.
LLOYD
I uz asleep, I wuz. I uz young-asleep. I uz boy-asleep. I'm awake now. I'm a man. I've come to life.
BETTY
You'd think I uz an angel--sproutin' wings!
LLOYD
You're better'n an angel--
BETTY
I ain't!
LLOYD
You air, too, to me. Better'n an angel! I'll put this flower in yer hair--
BETTY
No.
LLOYD
'S like a star.
BETTY
No, no. Whur'd you git it at?
LLOYD
BETTY
Under the leaves. It growed up through the dead leaves. I don't like it--
LLOYD
Why, Betty!
BETTY
I cain't stand them kind of flowers.
LLOYD
'S jist a flower. Growin' in the woods.
BETTY
In the dark woods. Lloyd--
LLOYD
Whut is it?
