The Member of the Wedding Page #3

are fully two years older than you.

I think they've been spreading it

all over town that I smell bad.

When I had those boils

and had to use that black,

bitter-smelling ointment.

I know.

That old Helen Fletcher asked me

what was that funny smell I had.

I could shoot every one of them

with a pistol!

I don't think you smell so bad.

You smell sweet like a 100 flowers.

I bet I use more perfume

than anybody else in town.

Crooks!

And there was something else, too.

They were telling big lies about

grownup people.

I don't know what kind of fool

they take me for.

Keep telling you, they're too old for you.

Frankie, the whole idea of a club

is that there are members who are included

and the non-members who are not included.

Then what you ought to do is round you up

a club of your own.

That way you'd be the president yourself.

- Well, who would I get?

- Oh, the little boys and girls

you hear playing around here,

the neighborhood.

I don't want to be the president

of all those little young leftover people.

Well, go on and enjoy your misery.

I bet Janice and Jarvis are members

of a lot of clubs.

In fact, the Army is kind of like a club.

You've got two nickels and a dime.

Now, don't be rooting through

my pocketbook like that, candy.

That ain't nice, rooting through

folks' pocketbook.

They might get the idea

you're trying to steal their money.

I'm looking for your old blue glass eye.

Here it is.

That's my new eye. Give it here.

I still owe $64.23 on this eye.

Your old blue eye looked very cute.

Maybe the finance company will come out

and take it back.

They'll never repossess it while

I'm wearing it and I'm still the same size.

You got three eyes. Which one of them

do you see out of the best?

Left eye, precious. The glass eyes

don't do me no seeing good at all.

Janice and Jarvis.

It gives me this pain

just to think about them.

It's a known truth

gray-eyed people is jealous.

I told you I wasn't jealous!

I couldn't be jealous of one of them

unless I was jealous of them both.

I associate the two of them together.

Well, I was jealous when my

foster-brother, Honey, married Clorina.

I sent a warning I'd tear the ears clean

off her head. But you see I didn't.

She got ears just like everybody else.

J- A.

Janice and Jarvis.

Isn't that the strangest thing?

- What?

- J-A.

Both their names begin with J-A.

Well, what about it?

If only my name was

Jane or

Jasmine.

I don't follow your frame of mind.

Jarvis and Janice and Jasmine, see?

No, I don't see.

I wonder if it's against the law

to change your name or add to it.

Naturally, it's against the law.

Well, I don't care! F. Jasmine Addams!
