She's so purty. Every time I try to talk to 'er I get so ner... nerv... I can't talk good. I wrote 'er a poem... but I'm too skeered to read it to 'er. Would ya read it to 'er fer me? >> Uhm... sure. Tell me the poem and I'll go tell it to her. P: Dur... okay. Roses is red, mooers go MOO! Purvis is a fella and he likes Rubella. That's... a nice peom. I'll go tell it to Rubella immediately. P: Garsh, thanks a lot, (name)! I hopen she likes it. (go to Rubella) R: Hey again, sugar. What can I do for ya? >>What do you think of Purvis? R: Honestly, I try not to. I think the poor boy has a little thing for me but I need someone a bit more... intellectual. Intellectual? Like a poet? R: Yes! Oooh! A poet would be great! It just so happens that Purvis wrote a poem for you. Would you like to hear it? R: Purvis? A poem? Uhg! That boy is a little slow on the uptake. I've tried subtly letting him know that I'm not interested but he just doesn't seem to get the message. Oh, come on, he's a nice guy. Can't you give him a chance? R: Well... he is nice. Okay, read me his poem. >>You are my shining star, you are my heart and soul. Without you I am nothing, but with you I am whole. R: Purvis wrote that? About me? Maybe I was wrong about him. Tell him I think his poem is great. He should write another. (return to Purvis) P: Dur... did ya talk to Rubella? Did she like my poems? Er... yeah. I read her a poem. She loved it! She wants you to write her another. P: Garsh! Poems is hard to write. Pa's good at thing'... mebbe he knows a power fer Rubella? I can go ask him if you like. P: Buh duh... yeah! Pa'll help! (talk to bill) B: 'owdy! I weren't 'spectin' ya back so soon. Bill... Purvis needs your advice with Rubella. B: What? That dang boy. I tol' 'im to stop chasin' that girl like a lost puppy. My garlic done 'opped outta the groun' and took off. I got a vampire overlookin' my ranch and no garlic to fight 'im off! I don't got n'time fer girls and poems. Did you say a vampire? B: Why d'ya think I grow garlic? Because I like the smell? I'm a rancher, not a farmer. The garlic is fer protection! So now you have no protection. B: Well, I did lock the gate to the graveyard... but that won't keep 'em out forever. Dangit! I wish I could git ma garlic back in the groun'. >>Maybe I could help? B: Yee-aw! Ya could at that! Jus' grab a bunch, makem stop squirmin', and stick 'em back int he groun'. They's all aroun' the ranch, especially in the woods to the north.
