MAMA Now don't you start, child. It's too early in the 
morning to be talking about money. It ain't Christian. 

RUTH It's just that he got his heart set on that store 

MAMA You mean that liquor store that Willy Harris 
want him to invest in? 

RUTH Yes 

MAMA We ain't no business people, Ruth. We just plain 
working folks. 

RUTH Ain't nobody business people till they go into 
business. Walter Lee say colored people ain't never 
going to start getting ahead till they start gambling on 
some different kinds of things in the world investments 
and things. 

MAMA What done got into you, girl? Walter Lee done 
finally sold you on investing. 

RUTH No. Mama, something is happening between 
Walter and me. I don't know what it is but he needs 
something something I can't give him any more. He 
needs this chance, Lena. 

MAMA (Frowning deeply) But liquor, honey 

RUTH Well like Walter say I spec people going to al- 
ways be drinking themselves some liquor. 

MAMA Well whether they drinks it or not ain't none of 
my business. But whether I go into business selling it 
to 'em is, and I don't want that on my ledger this late 
in life. (Stopping suddenly and studying her daughter- 
in-law} Ruth Younger, what's the matter with you to- 
day? You look like you could fall over right there. 

RUTH I'm tired. 

MAMA Then you better stay home from work today, 

RUTH I can't stay home. She'd be calling up the agency 
and screaming at them, "My girl didn't come in today 
send me somebody! My girl didn't come in!" Oh, she 
just have a fit ... 

MAMA Well, let her have it. I'll just call her up and say 
you got the flu 

RUTH (Laughing) Why the flu? 

MAMA 'Cause it sounds respectable to 'em. Something 
white people get, too. They know 'bout the flu. Other- 
wise they think you been cut up or something when you 
tell 'em you sick. 

RUTH I got to go in. We need the money. 

MAMA Somebody would of thought my children done all 
but starved to death the way they talk about money 
here late. Child, we got a great big old check coming 
tomorrow. 

RUTH (Sincerely, but also self-righteously) Now that's 
your money. It ain't got nothing to do with me. We all 
feel like that Walter and Bennie and me even Travis. 

MAMA (Thoughtfully, and suddenly very far away) Ten 
thousand dollars 

RUTH Sure is wonderful. 
MAMA Ten thousand dollars. 

RUTH You know what you should do, Miss Lena? You 
should take yourself a trip somewhere. To Europe or 
South America or someplace 

MAMA (Throwing up her hands at the thought) Oh, 
child! 

RUTH I'm serious. Just pack up and leave! Go on away 
and enjoy yourself some. Forget about the family and 
have yourself a ball for once in your life 

MAMA (Drily) You sound like I'm just about ready to 
die. Who'd go with me? What I look like wandering 
'round Europe by myself?
