And then she started dancin'

and her dancin' made me feel

That every single thing

she had was absolutely real

She went about as fur

as she could go

Yes, sir

She went about as fur as she could go

- What you doin', Will?

- Well, this is called a two-step.

That's all they're dancing nowadays.

Why, the waltz is through.

Of course, they don't do it

alone. Come on, Aunt Eller!

- Oh, that's about as fur as I can go

- Yes, sir

And that's about as

fur as she can go

- What you doing now, Will?

- Well, this here's called ragtime.

I seen a couple actors doin' it.

- Don't like it.

- Oh, Will, I do!

(HORSE NICKERS)

Still don't like it.

Come on, Aunt Eller, do-si-do!

Hey, ha, pick it up!

(CHATTERING)

Hey! Ha ha!

Hey there, Will Parker!

Come back here!

(TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS)

(BELL CLANGING)

Ado Annie, I could ride with you

like this to the end of the world.

Please, Mr. Hakim,

don't start talkin' purty.

Laurey! Yoo-hoo! Laurey!

Whoa!

Laurey!

- Hello, Laurey.

- What you doing with that peddler-man?

- Will Parker gets back today.

- Will Parker. Oh, foot.

- I didn't count on today being Saturday.

- I can see that.

My, oh, my, Miss Laurey!

"Jippity" crickets.

Last time I come through here, you was

teeny like a shrimp with freckles.

Now look on you.

Quit a-bitin' me! If you ain't had no

breakfast, go eat yourself a green apple.

Are you coming in or going out?

Standing still while you're here.

Go up to the house and wait.

It'll be no trouble

at all to wait right here.

So much water.

Why don't we all

take a swim together?

In Persia, where I come from,

bathing is a social event.

- Well, this ain't Persia!

- I can already see you two young ladies

in those beautiful

Persian bathing suits.

What do they wear when they

bathe socially in Persia?

- Nothing.

- Nothing. Oh!

The peddler-man's gonna

drive me to the box social.

I got up sort of a tasty lunch.

But you're promised

to Will Parker, ain't ya?

Oh, ain't what you might say,

promised. I just told him maybe.

Don't you like Will no more?

Of course I do. There won't

never be nobody like Will.

Then what about this peddler-man?

Oh, there won't never be

nobody like him neither.

Well, you gotta make up your mind.

Which one do you like the best?

- Well, whatever one I'm with.

- Well, you are a silly.

Well, now, Laurey, you know that nobody

paid me no mind up till this year

on account I was scrawny

and flat as a beanpole.

But then I kinda

rounded up a little

- and now the boys act different to me.

- What's wrong with that?
