"Goodbody's Gold"

by D. Chapelle

Some Excerpts:

SUGAR: They have left me alone in the house with no one to defend me or protect me against evil villains or evil doers'.

FOWLER: (Aside) Seems almost too good to be true (To Sugar) I'm sorry to bother you, but silly me, I forgot my hat. (Aside) Forgot my hat my foot! It is only a ploy to sneak back here and do what a villain's gotta do. (To Sugar) May I ask you a question?

SUGAR: You just did.

FOWLER: Then may I ask you another?

SUGAR: You just did.

FOWLER: Stop that!....Now tell me. Do you have any interest in that Bob Faithful fellow?

SUGAR: (Embarrassed) Grammie likes him.

FOWLER: That wasn't the question.

SUGAR: He is a good, hard working man.

FOWLER: But do you like him?

SUGAR: Maybe.

FOWLER: But, dear girl, a young lady of your beauty and breeding shouldn't settle for a common miner. You should look for a man who knows his way around the world. And my dear I have been around the world.


TEDDI: I just never seem to have the time. I was thinking you could help me out a little. Here. Now.

BOB: Help you? Here? Now? What would people say? What would people think?

TEDDI: Who cares! (She sits on his lap)

BOB: Wouldn't a chair be more comfortable?

TEDDI: Those nasty old chairs are so hard and cold. And you're so soft...and warm.

BOB: (Clearing his throat) Well then, that loan. Exactly how much do you think you'll need?

TEDDI: How much have you got?

BOB: Well you...you know, I bet the first question Mr. Cash is going to ask is why you need...need the loan. Is it...is this loan to be personal or business in nature?

TEDDI: Which would be more fun for you?

BOB: What I want shouldn't...don't make any difference. As Mr. Cash is a friend of mine, I'm only tryin' to figure out what you want to tell him. I'm here...I mean he's there...We're here to serve you. Miss Bustier.

TEDDI: Oh, I do like the way you talk!

BOB: Do you have collateral?

TEDDI: I used to, but it cleared up. Tell me Bob, I can call you Bob, can't I?

BOB: Okay.

TEDDI: Do you think I'm pretty, Bob?

BOB: That...that has nothing to do with business.


SUGAR: You know, perhaps I don't use enough sugar in the recipe? Maybe too many lemons. Maybe I should read the recipe again? Now where did I leave that silly old recipe?

GRAMMIE: I think it's right next to your recipe for the ice.

SUGAR: I'll bet that is where I left it. (Exits.)

GRAMMIE: It might jist be me, but there sure does seem to be some strange goin's on goin' on around here.'

FOWLER: (Bursting in) Greetings and good evening, Grammie.

GRAMMIE: Well, it was a good evening 'till your ugly puss showed itself.

FOWLER: Forgive me. I feel so much a part of this family I was already here before I realized I should announce myself.

GRAMMIE: Well, you might be a part of this family, if, and this is a mighty big if, IF this here family was a family of SNAKES!

FOWLER: Isn't it time you took a nap or something? (Aside.) A long permanent nap in a pine box.

GRAMMIE: Now you listen to me you dang blamed blue tailed crook! I don't know what you're up to, but I know you're up to somthin'! I'm tellin you sure as I'm standin' here you ain't gonna get away with it! You ain't gettin' away with nothin'! Now I said my piece, I'll be goin'.

FOWLER: Back to your pigs?

GRAMMIE: Nope. I got me a quiche coolin' down for lunch. I'll tell Sugar you're here.
