L : Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave
and put on a clean pair of pants?
C : But Loretta, look at yourself. Now I wish you'd take them curlers out
of your hair and go put on a little makeup and get out of that
housecoat before supper.
L : Ha, well, let me tell you something, Conway, considerin' everything
that I went through today, I look like a movie star.
C : Eh-he-yeah, Ruth Buzzie.
L : Thankyee.
C : Besides that, all our kids took after your part of the family, anyway.
L : Oh they did, huh? What about’s the ones that's bald?
C : Ha ha ha, well, I guess you could say they take after me…..
