Seems to me like it would've at least broken a wrist

or a forearm or a finger, or something.

And his throat,

any kind of a fall that would do that kind of damage

would've had to have taken his jaw, it seems to me.

-Oh, is that a fact?

-Why, foot, it's as plain as a pimple on your nose.

With that maulin' he took, no --

-Let me tell you something!

If I'd've thought he shoulda stayed in bed longer,

he'd've stayed in bed longer

and it wouldn't've made any difference

what you or anybody else said.

-All right! That's your whole trouble, right there.

You just ain't willin' to listen to nobody

that knows more 'n you know.

-Well now, just who could that be, for instance?

-Well, for instance, my Aunt Tamsy.

-I am so sick and tired of hearing --

-Why, many's the time us young'uns

had been a runnin' out across the cow lot barefooted

and step on a rusty nail and the first thing Aunt Tamsy'd do

is to get a bunch of old sheets, tear up into strips,

and put some turpentine and sugar on the foot

and keep it wrapped up, too.

That's the reason you ain't gonna learn nothin',

'cause you listen to nobody. [Slam]

You old scutter.

Just a-gettin' too blamed old to learn nothin'.
