Mornin' Momma. Are you doing okay? |
|

Yes, Samantha Jo, I'm fine. I just needed a little pick-me-up before we leave for the service. Can someone explain to me why I heard Dewdrop asking Beecham about building a time machine? |

It's a long story. You look lovely, Momma. |

Thank you, Sammy Jo.
Ozella, I see you're here. It is so kind of you to stay here at the house while we're at the service. I know it will be hard, but please do your darndest to fight the urge to dig through every drawer in the house. |

Ozella:
I beg your pardon. |

Now, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You were the only one in Marjean Dobb's house during Beaumont's service and although it could never be proved, some think you might have taken the libery of relieving Marjean of some nice candlesticks. |

No, no. Please go right ahead. I just did inventory the other day.

Attie:
Ms. Dorothy, once again, let me say how sorry I am for your loss. |
|
Definition
Everyone keeps tellin' me how sorry they are for my loss. Like I just can't find him. Problem is, I know exactly where he is. He's at the church getting ready to be wheeled into his final reward. I just wish folks would call it what it is. Dead. D-E-A-D. Dead. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone on like that. Thank you, Attie. What are you doing here? |

Attie:
...If you'd rather I didn't ride in the family car, I'll be glad to follow along in my car. |
|
Definition
No, Attie. You are more than welcome to ride in the family car. I know you're just doing your job.
Shall we?
