Home, Jim . JIM

Home ? LU

Yes, Jim. Ain't I never told you about my little home up in the - the hills ? You see, I've been

thinking about quitting it all some time and go ing back. I've been in the business years longer than you ever have, and I wants a rest, Jim, I wants it bad. And up in my little house on the hill it's so nice, so silent and peaceful. Danny here is going to take me-- ain't you, Danny ? But you, Jim boy, you got to go on . JIM

Why, Lu ! I can't go on without you and Danny -I can't ! I can't leave you, you know that. LU

Listen, Jim. You got to remember how you been studying for to make something for yourself, and you know more than Danny and me. JIM

Lu, I don't want nothing, you know that. I wants to come with you.

What will I do with

out you and Danny ? You're everything to me. LU

Jim, you're strong enough now, and if you love

us, you'll show what we done for you .
