Unspoken Love and Fear of Rejection
Deborah Bishop
Have you any idea how much Lora Mae is in love with you?
Porter Hollingsway
No! How much?
[scornfully]
Deborah Bishop
So much she's afraid to tell you, afraid you'd laugh at her.
Porter Hollingsway
Me laugh? She couldn't say it with a straight face. Lora Mae in love with me? It's all she can do to wait it out.
Deborah Bishop
Wait it out?
Porter Hollingsway
Yeah, like an annuity till it matures. Like a slot machine till it pays off. That's what she's waiting for. A chance to call it off, to collect. "The end of the line. Fares, please." Don't tell me about love and Lora Mae.

I don't sit around and mope.
Melissa Frake
Well, stop moping now, and finish your packing.
Margy Frake
Always saying she doesn't know what's got into me. I'll be glad to get to the fair. Hear something different. See something different for a change. What has got into me anyway?

Modern Farming vs. Traditional Values
Margy Frake
Got a house on it?
Harry Ware
Yeah, but it's too old. We'd have to build a new one.
Margy Frake
Oh, I like old houses.
Harry Ware
Oh, it wouldn't fit in with our kind of farm. You know, I plan to do everything my old man won't let me do on his place. Scientific irrigation. Electric milking. Separate hen roosts. No horses. All tractor power. You see what I mean? Everything modern.
Margy Frake
Ohh... but the house you live in...
Harry Ware
It's got to be the same. No old clapboard shingle business. There is a new kind of plastic, pre-fabricated job. I want you to see it at the catalog home.
Margy Frake
Is it pretty?
Harry Ware
Sure, but what's more important it's termite proof. Wait til you see it. They tell you how to furnish it too. No rugs or carpets, they're just dust collectors.
Margy Frake
What's on the floor?
Harry Ware
Linoleum - through the whole house. Wait until you see the pictures. It's sleek and smooth, easy to keep clean. Well, it's like every room in the house was a bathroom.
Margy Frake
Sounds real cozy...

Margy Frake
Wayne?
Wayne Frake
That's a nice string of pearls. I think I'll have a go at them. Oh, I know they're fakes. but...
Margy Frake
Wayne! What are you doing?
Wayne Frake
How long have you been there?
Margy Frake
Oh, just a little while.
Wayne Frake
Then why didn't you say something, instead of just standing there?
Margy Frake
Who were you talking to? And does Mother know you have her embroidery hoops out here?
Wayne Frake
Look, just leave me alone, will you, and stop prying in other people's affairs?
Margy Frake
Speaking of affairs, Eleanor's on the phone.
Wayne Frake
Eleanor? Well, Christmas, why didn't you tell me?
