GIDEON (rising) Nice night for a coon hunt. (ALL the BROTHERS laugh) MILLY Pay them no mind. There's still time to learn. We've got one whole month before the next social. But you got to remember, you'll have competition. Every one of those girls down there's got five, ten fellas buzzin' around her. BENJAMIN (enthusiastically) We'll clean them out first thing.
