Loneliness and Comfort in Uncertain Times
Carrie Watts
Excuse me for getting personal, but what is a pretty girl like you doing traveling alone?
Thelma
My husband's just been sent overseas. I'm going to stay with my family.
Carrie Watts
Oh, I'm sorry to hear. Will you just say the 91st Psalm over and over to yourself? It will be a bower of strength and protection to him. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of my Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress." Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, honey.
[Thelma breaks down crying]
Thelma
That's all right. I'm just lonesome for him, is all.
Carrie Watts
You keep him under the Lord's wing and he'll be safe.
Thelma
Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. I don't know what gets into me.
Carrie Watts
Nobody needs to be ashamed of crying cause we've all dampened a pillow sometime or other. I know I have.

Discovering a Hidden Item in the Room
Jessie Mae
Thank you. Where did you find it?
Carrie Watts
In your room.
Jessie Mae
In my room?
Carrie Watts
Yes, ma'am.
Jessie Mae
Where in my room?
Carrie Watts
In your dresser drawer. Right-hand side.
Jessie Mae
In my dresser drawer?
Carrie Watts
Yes, ma'am. I looked on the top of your dresser, wasn't there, something told me...
Jessie Mae
Mother Watts! Ludie, how many times have I asked her never to look into my dresser drawers?
Carrie Watts
You wanted me to find the recipe.
Jessie Mae
I don't want you to go into my dresser drawers. I'd like a little privacy, if you don't mind.
Carrie Watts
Yes, ma'am.
Jessie Mae
And don't you ever let me catch you looking in them again for anything. I can't stand people snooping in my dresser drawers.
Carrie Watts
All right. Next time you just find it yourself!
[angrily tosses the recipe to the floor]
Jessie Mae
You pick that recipe up, if you please?
Carrie Watts
Pick it up yourself. I have no intention of picking that up!
[sits on the couch]
Jessie Mae
You pick that up!
Carrie Watts
I won't!
Ludie
Mama.
[seriously]
Jessie Mae
You will!
Ludie
Jessie Mae, for God's sake, you're both acting like children. It's 1:30 in the morning.
Jessie Mae
You make her pick that up.
Carrie Watts
I won't!
Jessie Mae
You will! This is my house and you'll do exactly as you're told!

Beauty of Nature in Flight
