Judge Priest Page #4

---

Hod Maydew as a grandpappy, have you?

Oh, I know you've never

liked Senator Maydew...

...but you can't say anything

against his folks.

They've got money,

they're an old family...

...and Virginia's a lovely girl.

She's always been crazy about Rome.

He could do a lot worse.

Well, I guess, uh, me and Rome...

...we ain't got anything to say about it.

I knew you'd come around to my way.

You're gonna-You're gonna

stay for supper, ain't ya, Carrie?

Not tonight, thank you, William.

The Daughters of the Confederacy are...

...having a chicken supper

at Kate Maydew's...

...and I'm late already.

Looks like you Daughters

get more ferocious every year...

...towards Yankees and, uh, fried chicken.

Got your badge on there.

- Yes.

Mighty pretty.

- Good night, William.

Sometimes, I, uh-

I think you women got

more badges and medals...

...out of the war than the soldiers did.

Good night, Carrie.

Listen to that old whip-poor-will

callin' his mate.

Him and his kin has been nestin'

around here for nigh on 30 years.

A lonesome kind of sound,

isn't it, Uncle Billy?

Mmm, 'tis so.

You know, the good Lord

never meant for nobody-...

...either man or bird- to live by theirself.

Uncle Billy, why didn't you come

live with us after Aunt Margaret died?

Oh, l-

I never could stand your ma's cookin'.

Awful fine swing over there

on that other porch.

I wouldn't be surprised if there

ain't a pretty girl sittin' in it now.

She's got another fella tonight.

Ellie May sure is pretty.

The fella who gets her

will certainly have to do some prancin'.

He can't sit around

and look glum all the time.

There he is now.

- Who?

That Flem Talley.

The barber?

- Yeah.

Gives an awful poor shave,

that fella.

Whoa. Whoa, babe.

Here I am, honey.

Hee, hee, hee.

Ellie May, here's good news.

Hee, hee.

Hee, hee, hee, hee.

Uh, son, uh, there ain't nothing'll

get your mind off womenfolks like work.

Will you run back in my library there

and get my old Kentucky Code of Statutes?

It's, uh- It's an old calfskin book

up on the top shelf there.

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

That gets me, that braying there.

Long ears. I'm just

gonna see if I can't stop him.

Gabby Rives and Joe Herringer-...

...you know, the boys that work

for me down at my barbershop-...

...well, they comes to me tonight

and wants me to go over to old town.

Some high-flying gals over there.

But I tells 'em no.

I can have all the fun I want

right here at home.

Now, guess who I was talkin' about.

Couldn't l-

Couldn't I make you some lemonade?

Lemonade? Sure, honey.

And I got something to sweeten it with...

...right out of the mountains

and kickin' like a mule.

Hee, hee, hee.
