THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED

Amy

I’m glad. And I want to apologize to you for what I said just now . . . and for that other thing I said about your being a common hobo and all. . . . I’m sorry, Joe. Will you forgive me?

Joe

Oh, that’s all right.

Amy

I wouldn’t want to have you go away to-morrow thinking what a mean character I got.

Joe

Nothing like that.

Amy

You mean it?

Joe

Shake. [They shake hands, standing in the doorway.] You’re cryin’! . . . What’s the matter, kid?

Amy

Oh, I don’t know. . . . Nothing. . . . I’m all right.
