Begin to suspicion something, too.
Come on let's count these old cards.
We've worn these old cards out.
If you would eat these old cards,
they would taste
like a combination of all the dinners
of this summer
together with a sweaty-handed nasty taste.
Why, the jacks and the queens are missing!
John Henry,
how come you do a thing like that?
So that's why you asked for the scissors
and stole off quiet behind the arbor.
Why you take our playing cards
and cut out all the pictures?
'Cause I wanted 'em. They're cute.
See, he's nothing but a child.
It's hopeless. Hopeless!
Just have to put him out of the game.
He's entirely too young.
Oh, no, we can't put candy out of the game.
Gotta have a third to play.
Besides, by the last count,
he owes me close to three million dollars.
Oh, I'm sick unto death!
Oh, I wish they'd taken me with them
to Winter Hill this afternoon.
I wish tomorrow was Sunday
instead of Saturday.
Sunday will come.
I doubt it.
I wish I was going somewhere for good.
I wish I had $100 and could just light out
and never see this town again.
Seems to me
like you're wishing for a lot of things.
I wish I was somebody else except me.
Frankie, you serious when you
gave me the doll a while ago?
It gives me a pain just to think about them.
It's a known truth
gray-eyed people is jealous.
- Let's go play with the children, Frankie.
- I don't want to.
- Let's go.
- You got ears, you heard me!
I think maybe I better go home.
You just can't eat dinner and then go
off in the afternoon like that.
I know it.
You can go home, candy lamb,
if you want to.
But let's go out, Frankie.
They sound like they're having a lot of fun.
No, they're not.
They're just a crowd of ugly, silly children.
Running and hollering.
Running and hollering. Nothing to it.
Look, those big girls!
Hey, there!
I'm mighty glad to see you. Come on in.
We can't. We were just passing through
to notify our new member.
Am I the new member?
No, you're not the one the club elected.
Not elected?
Every ballot was unanimous
for Mary Littlejohn.
Mary Littlejohn?
You mean that girl
that just moved in next door?
Pasty fat girl with those tacky pigtails?
The one who plays the piano all day long?
Yes. Mary is training for a concert career.
You don't have enough sense
to appreciate a talented girl like Mary.
What are you doing in my yard?
You're never to set foot
on my papa's property again!
You crooks!
I could shoot you with my papa's pistol!
Crooks!
Why didn't you elect me?
Why can't I be a member?
I wouldn't pay them club girls no mind.
All my life I've been wanting things
I ain't been getting.
Besides, them club girls
