Joe
I got to go, Tony. I just plain got to go,
Amy
If he won’t stay for you, Tony, he won’t stay for me. It ain’t the place of a lady to be coaxing him, anyhow. . . . [She again turns malevolent attention upon Joe.] Where you headed for?
Joe
The next place.
Amy
What’s the idea?
Joe
I just got to be on my way, an’ that’s all there is to it.
Tony
Ees all dose goddam Wobblies, Amy. You tell him stay here, w’ile Tony is so sick in da bed like dees. You don’ go to-morrow, Joe. You and me is talkin’ more by-an’-by, in da mornin’.
Joe
Oh, what’s the use? I’m goin’, I tell you.
