Act One Scene One Flashcards
We got a tip that the bear squirrels in any territory of the good ol’ U.S. Of A are found on this here island, didn’t we, Carla Jo?
That’s right Rhonda Mae. There’s nothin’ like huntin’ squirrels.
We’ll just see what Mrs.Wilcox has to say about this.
Go ahead and state your complaints.
But this is a tropical island! You’ll never find any-
I know you must be worried about all of them breedin’ and multiplyin’. But do my get too upset, ma’am! We’ll take care of this problem in no time.
I might just go a little crazy and…and…
And what?
Ms. Matthews, why don’t you sit down and have a nice cup of yea while you knit. It’s iced.
Maybe it’ll help cool your hot Yankee temper.
All right, we wouldn’t want to do anything to get Ms. Matthews upset now, would we?
There’s nothin’ like a Yankee blowin’ her top.
With all those interests, I’m sure the three of you can find something to talk about over a glass of iced tea.
I doubt it Mrs. Wilcox.
What’s that broads problem?
I wonder.
I don’t have to stand here and listen to the two of you berate me. I’m going to my room to knit in peace and quiet.
That’s one Yankee gal with no class.
Oh, dear!
Mrs. Wilcox?
Now, how are the two of you enjoying the iced tea?
It’s delicious. Now about our rifle-
It looks like that tropical storm is about to hit.
Just call us when it’s time for supper, then.
I think there may be something wrong with Mrs. Wilcox.
That knife stickin’ out of her back might be the problem.
Whoever did this, whoever is responsible for this gruesome world we live in will pay!
Is he serious?
Me and Carla Jo can carry her.
That’s one good thing about about us Michaels sisters- we’re each as strong as an OC.
There you go again. You practically have me rolling.
Connie, do you know which is the key to the cabinet?
What on earth do you want a gun for?
We’re goin’ huntin’.
Of course! The rain makes all squirrels hide in the trees.
The trees are practically stuffed full of them during storms like this.
Squirrels? On the island, you say? And you’re going to go outside in this weather?
Heavens, no. You Yankees don’t know the first thing about huntin’. Did you hear that sister?
I’m confused, then.
Were going to open the window, fire our rifle into the trees, and watch the squirrels fall to the ground.
We’ll aim the rifle outside, not inside. Don’t worry.
Hey, the cabinet’s empty.
Where’s our rifle?!
I don’t know! It’s gone.
You’re sure Mrs. Wilcox put it in there?
I saw her with my own two eyes.
Somebody must have taken it out.
This is a violation of the second Amendment of the constitution on the United States of America! Someone is tamperin’ with my right to bear arms! We’ve got a thief here.
Then we’d have a murderin’ thief.
Or a thieverin’ murderer
