The Tender Land

0

[GRANDPA MOSS] (off stage)
Halloo halloo
[TOP]
Who's that?
LAURIE - Grandpa's coming home
Be polite to him. He's not used to strangers
(Grandpa enters.)
[GRANDPA]
Laurie, Laurie my graduation girl
(He goes to embrace her but suddenly sees the boys.)
Oh! we've got visitors
[LAURIE]
They want to see you, Grandpa
[MARTIN]
Yes sir
My name's Martin, this here's Top
[GRANDPA]
You run inside, Laurie
(She goes.)
What can I do for you fellas?
[MARTIN]
You've got a spring harvest to get in…
I guess we'd like to work at it
[GRANDPA]
You don't sound to anxious `bout workin'
[TOP]
Anxious! If it weren't for this belly
You wouldn't catch me
Sidlin' up to any job anywhere
[MARTIN]
Don't mind Top, Mistеr Moss
Ain't no better worker than hе is
Once he's got his belly full
What do you say?
