Tony
[In undisguised terror]: You ain’ goin’ be kissin’ no bride, Joe. You hear dat?
Joe
[Off stage he is heard singing]:
“We laugh and sing, we have no fear
Our hearts are always light,
We know that every Wobbly true
Will carry on the fight.”
Tony
He’s too goddam fresh, dat fella, with kissin’ my Amy an’ all dose goddam Wobbly songs. Don’ you think so, Padre?
Father McKee
I didn’t come up here to talk about Joe, Tony. I come up to talk about this here weddin’.
Tony
I’m glad you come, Padre. I’m verra bad scare’.
Father McKee
You got good reason for bein’ scared, if you want to know what I think.
