THE SECOND ACT

Joe
Oh, all right!
Amy
I got all I bargained for and then some. I’m fixed. I’m satisfied. I didn’t come up here . . . like I did . . . looking for love . . . or . . . or anything like that.
Joe
All I got to say is it’s a good thing you got so dam’ much sense.
Amy
I’ll thank you not to swear about me, too. . . .
Joe
You got me wrong, Amy. I apologize. Maybe I was only seein’ Tony’s side of the question. Some girls would have been sorer’n you was over what old Tony done to get you here. But you’re a real sport, that’s what you are. You’re a great girl an’ I’m all for you. [He emphasizes his approval with another patronizing pat on her shoulder.]
Amy
Oh, for God’s sake, leave me alone, can’t you?
