       THE GRANDFATHER

 

    Bunch of chickens!  Cluckin' about this and the other and shoveling that stuff in like it was going outta style.  Simple, cluckin' fools.

    Where's my egg?

    They look like they didn't know I was over here.  They stop like I caught them doing something they was ashamed of.  Guilty.  Every damned one of 'em.  'Cept the little ones          and him over with the dog.  Talking to a dog because he's got no more to say to them than I do.  The dog'll follow it just about as well.

    Where's that egg I wanted?  Doug?

    Jump, you simple fools.
