REGGIE Don’t you remember what we doin’ today? With yet another challenge to his redirected mind Ptolemy concentrates. PTOLEMY The Lumber yard? No. The ice house? No, not no more. Zenobia’s place? Ptolemy stops for a moment at the thought of the Mississippi cathouse. REGGIE You want me to turn off the radio and TV so you could think? PTOLEMY No! Don’t turn it off. I might not find my stations again. REGGIE I could just turn down the sound. PTOLEMY
Then I won’t be able to hear it. An’ if I cain’t hear it then it ain’t worf it. REGGIE But you could turn it up again after. PTOLEMY Anyway I know what you want. You wanna go to the doctor even though that burn is all healed up... (holds up his right hand) ...Look I took the bandage off an’ everything. REGGIE After the doctor we could go to the diner an’ get fried chicken thighs and french fries. PTOLEMY I love them chicken thighs. I surely do.
