Buddy: You think you're maybe gonna stick around awhile, C.C.?
Showers: It all depends, Bud.
Buddy: They's lots a stuff here you know?
Showers: There is, huh?
Buddy: Yeah! They's lots a good stuff. You see the woods over there don't you?
Showers: Bud, I sure do.
Buddy: Well that's where the birds live.
Showers: Do they, now?
Buddy: Yeah! Way up the trees they do. Way up the leafs.
Showers: Now that's a good thing to know.
Buddy: You see the ground right there don't you?
Showers: Mr. Layman, I do.
Buddy: Well that's where the doddle bugs are.
Showers: Well, you're just chock-full a knowledge, my friend.
Buddy: He thunk he might be.
Showers: (as if he didn't hear right) I beg your pardon?
Buddy: He says he thunk he might be.
Showers: (unsure) Now, you're talkin about you?
Buddy: Yeah. Can't you hear him?
Showers: Yeah. Yeah, pal, I hear you.
Buddy: You see the sky up there, pal?
Showers: Bud, I'm lookin right at it.
Buddy: You know who lives up there?
Showers: Who?
Buddy: (amazed) Jesus.
Showers: Way up there?
Buddy: Jesus Son a God does.
Showers: What do you figure he does up there, Bud?
Buddy: (thinks this over) Well...he's maybe got him a little house.
Showers: (interested) Yeah?
Buddy. Yeah. Maybe got him a runnin toilet inside.
Showers: Now that's a good thing to have.
Buddy: He thunk it might be.
Showers: Mr. Layman, it does my heart good to meet a man who knows his way around the Church.
Buddy: We ain't got no Church, C.C. Don't you know nothin?
Showers: Your Mom taught you the Gospel at home, huh?
Buddy: His Mama?
Showers: Yeah.
Buddy: (Concerned) You seen her, C.C.? You seen his Mama?
Showers: No...
Buddy: He can't find her nowhere, C.C.
Showers: (gentle concern) How long she's been gone?
Buddy: Well he ain't sure no more. He looks in his house and his yard and the woods and he can't find her nowhere.
Showers: Well, I'd imagine she'll be home before long, don't you think?
Buddy: Sometimes he hears her. Sometimes at night he hears her right there...and her voice is right there...like he can touch her almost when he's sleepin...
Showers: (gentle) You mean your Mama's passed away, Bud?
Buddy: You know where she is?
Showers: Well...I'd imagine she's livin in Heaven. You know what angels are don't you?
Buddy: What?
Showers: Angels're what we call the people in Heaven. The folks on beyond us, you see?
Buddy: What's angels do?
Showers: For the most part, they all tend to fly around singin.
Buddy: (likes this idea) Angels can fly?
Showers: That's what they say.
Buddy: Like the birds?
Showers: Like the birds.
