To Have and Have Not1944

Eddie:
Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?

Beauclerc:
I have no memory of ever being bit by any kind of bee.

Slim:
[interjecting] Were you?

Eddie:
You're alright, lady. You and Harry's the only one that ever...

Morgan:
Don't forget Frenchie.

Eddie:
That's right. You and Harry and Frenchie. You know, you got to be careful of dead bees if you're goin' around barefooted, 'cause if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kind of mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.

Slim:
You have? Why don't you bite them back?

Eddie:
That's what Harry always says. But I ain't got no stinger.
