The Apple Dumpling Gang1975

Russell Donovan:
[coming to after Dusty knocks him out with a spitoon and sees her coming at him again] Dusty! Dusty! Would you just tell me what's bothering you?!

Dusty:
[grabbing Donovan by the jacket] That bed! That great, big, brass bed! If you had no intention of exercising your husbandly prerogatives, why'd you buy that bed?

Russell Donovan:
That's it? The *bed*?

Dusty:
*Yes*!

Russell Donovan:
[holds her hands away from him] The bed happens to be for the kids, Dusty. When the nights are getting colder, they'll need a *warmer* place to sleep. So the brass bed is for the boys, and the smaller bed is for *Celia*!

Dusty:
[sweetly] Well, why didn't you say so in the first place, then we could have avoided this little misunderstanding.

[frees her hands and walks through the mess in the bar over to the door where Celia is sitting]

Dusty:
[takes her hand] Come along, Celia. This is no place for a lady.
