[Avram pretends that he is a random cowboy, delivering the Torah to the Bender family as a favor to his friend the rabbi. Rosalie Bender thinks he's cute]

Rosalie:
What do you want?

Avram:
Um, well, I came to bring this thing here [he pats the Torah] for, eh, for Mr. Bender, iffen I got the right house, an' all.

Rosalie:
You do. I'm his daughter.

Avram:
Yeah, I know that. [He remembers that he is not supposed to have seen her photograph before, much less carried it from Poland] Oh! Oh, you're the daughter! You're the Bender daughter. Oh. [He nods politely; he also looks her up and down surreptitiously] Howdy!

Rosalie:
[starting to be charmed by this awkward stranger] Would you care to come in?

Avram:
Well, I would like to, but I, ah - thanks, no, because I got a friend waitin' at the saloon and, uh, my other friend, the rabbi, asked me to bring this here to you. I mean, bring this to your father.

Rosalie:
What is it?

Avram:
This thing? I, I don't know. I think it's some kind of Torah.

Rosalie:
A Torah!

Avram:
Yeah, I think that's what he called it.

Rosalie:
[smiling] So where is he?

Avram:
Who?

Rosalie:
The rabbi!

Avram:
Where is the rabbi? Oh - where is the rabbi? The rabbi. Well, I don't rightly know, ma'am. Um, the last time I seen him, I was bustin' my britches in the cat-house. And, um, my friend the rabbi asked me, iffen I should ever come Frisco way, would I drop by this house and do him this favor.

Rosalie:
Oh.

Avram:
Anyway, it was nice to, um, make your acquaintance, ma'am, and, um, I'd, uh...

Rosalie:
Is something wrong?

Avram:
No, no, no. No. It's just I didn't know that your eyes would be so brown.

Rosalie:
[She laughs in astonishment] How would you know that?

Avram:
How would I know that? Ha ha ha! How would I know that, that's right! How would I know that? I couldn't know that. Well, I'd, uh, I'd better get going. I hate to keep my sidewinder waitin'. So, I'll just give you that to give to, uh, to give to your father, and I'll say goodbye.

Rosalie:
Just wait, wait. Papa!

Avram:
No, no, no, don't call the papa! I'd, uh, I'd really better get my ass outta here. So, thanks, and adios for everything!
