DEWEY JR: Morning Momma, who were you talkin to?

Your daddy.

DEWEY JR: Did he talk back?

Not yet. I'm gonna go get dressed, baby. Can you get yourself some breakfast.

After leaving stage, door bell rings.

(offstage) Dewdrop! Dewdrop, answer the door, Precious!

HARLENE: I am asking myself that very same question right now.

(entering) I am so sorry, Dewdrop just told me y'all was here. Hey Marthann.




(hug Marthann)




Ozella.

MARTHANN: If there's anything I can do for you today you just let me know.

Thank you, Marthann.

OZELLA: I am also available to do anything, anything at all, that you need.

It ain't a competition, Ozella. Sammy Jo, didn't you offer these fine folks coffee?

SAMMY JO (asked about coffee): Well, Harlene---

Don't blame your sister. Harlene, go get dressed.



HARLENE (told to go get dressed): Yes, ma'am!

(while Harlene exits) Did we make all the necessary arrangments?

MARTHANN: Are there any special arrangements Dewey made in his will?

Attie Van Leer is coming over this morning to discuss that very thing.

SAMMY JO (after back and forth about the other thing): Momma

Yes, Sammy Jo, and the other thing. And as I don't want everyone to know my personal business, I'd ask you to keep quiet on the subject.

OZELLA (about the other thing): If I can be of any help with this other thing, you know I'll--

Yes, I know exactly what you'll do. You got one of the biggest mouths this side of Memphis.

OZELLA (after Memphis mouth line): Well, I never.

Oh yes you have and I won't have you doing it to my family.




(DEWEY JR enters)




Dewdrop, will you show Ms Meeks out?

DEWEY JR: I can't tell you, it's a secret.

What's today's secret mission, sweetheart?

DEWEY JR: I'm gonna win the lottery tonight. I gotta watch TV all day for the numbers.

(Dewey Jr exits)




Well, Sammy Jo, there you go.

SAMMY JO: Momma, that boy is one egg shy of a dozen.

Don't you dare talk about your baby brother that way. Would you please make the coffee? Ozella, you were leaving were'nt you?

OZELLA: If there's anything weighing on your soul about Brother Dewey's passing, I'd be glad as chairwoman of the SonShine committee to talk to you about it.

Lord, everyone wants me to talk about it. Time was when a widow could just grieve without having to talk about every little feeling she had. I'm more inclined to follow that example. But, if I change my mind I'll be sure and let you know.




(shows Ozella out the door... car honk)




What now?

MARTHANN: That'll be Benny Charles with the food from the Rotarians.

I don't think we can fit any more food in the fridge Marthann

SAMMY JO: Oh good, Benedict Arnold has arrived. Coffee?

Sammy Jo, I will ask you to keep a civil tongue in your head.

ATTIE: No Sammy Jo, I'm afraid I can't.

Okay, Attie. Let's go in the sitting room. Sammy Jo, we'll be back in a minute. Make yourself useful and clean up all these Natural Light cans. What Ozella must have thought.

(Dorothy enters)


ATTIE: Well. I'll just be going. Ms Dorothy, I-- Well, I'll just be going.


(ATTIE EXITS)


SAMMY JO: Well, Momma, what's the deal?

She tell you?

MARTHANN: Lord yes, she told us. We're family, ain't we? What's going on?




SAMMY JO: Are they gonna try to take your house?

No, they're not gonna try to take my house.

SAMMY JO (after taking the house line): Oh, thank goodness.

They're gonna take the land it sits on. I'm more than welcome to move the house anywhere I like.




HARLENE: Is that coffee ready yet?




2 BEATS, look at Harlene
