Tony
[Nodding agreement]: Nobody is wantin’ be a woman, Joe . . . But ees playnta good womans like my Amy!
Joe
Sure, there’s good ones an’ bad ones. But that ain’t exactly what I mean, Tony. What I mean is, as far as I can see, it don’t make a helluva lot of difference what a woman is: good or bad, young or old . . .
Tony
I lik’ best fat!
Joe
. . . all women is up against it, and it’s a dirty shame, too, because women ain’t so bad. They ain’t much use, maybe, but they ain’t so bad.
Tony
My Amy is goin’ have evrathing she want.
Joe
Ever heard anythin’ about this dam’ women’s rights stuff? You know. Equality of the sexes. Woman doin’ a man’s work an’ all that bunk?
Tony
Da’s crazy idea!
