I agree.1-4-17 Rev. 4/12/82 (ADAM rises and follows MILLY around the room as she continues cleaning up) ADAM I got a farm. A good farm. There's a house on it. There's timber land and high grazing meadows. There's sheep and milk cows and fifty acres of wheat. Only thing it ain't got... it ain't got a woman. How about it? MILLY Just like that? ADAM I know it's short notice.... We should've met of a Sunday leaving church. Six months later I would have asked could I walk you home. Then for the next two or three years I would've set in your front parlor every Wednesday"night. And finally I would have asked your pa could I marry ya. That's the way my maw would have wanted me to do it. But here there ain't time. I got to be back tonight to tend to my stock. It'll be another five months before I get down here again. Are you going to keep me waiting all that time just for a little Eastern fol-de-rol? (MILLY looks up at him for a minute, then makes up her mind.) MILLY Well, I'd have to finish my chores first. ADAM I knew the minute I laid eyes on you, you wuz the gal for me....... Eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhaaaaaawwwwwww!i (ADAM starts to leave, picking up his hat, then remembers and comes back to MILLY. HE kisses her awkwardly on the cheek, then starts to go out again. MILLY stops HIM.) MILLY How far is it up to the farm? ADAM 'bout twelve miles. MILLY Most people'd think that would be pretty lonely. But I can stand some loneliness after this restaurant.
