Love in the Early 1900s


GIRL: Let's run away together!


BOY: Oh! How nice that would be! But wherever would we go?


GIRL: Oh, I don't know! Somewhere large, urban, urbane, a place where they can't stop us from, from...

BOY: From holding hands and riding together!

GIRL: Yes! Oh, how nice it would be to just be somewhere big, where things were happening where the future was growing. Like Buffalo or Grand Rapids!



BOY: How wonderful it would be! To finally just be young and alive! To just be with you, dear!

GIRL: *Titters*

BOY: What is it?

GIRL: You called me "dear"! You've never done that before-

BOY: Oh, I apologize, truly. I didn't mean to be so presumptio-

GIRL: No. No. I liked it. It felt nice.

BOY: *Titters*

GIRL: *Blushes*

BOY: Oh, but how will we get to one of these places? How can we escape so quickly, like the night through a sieve or a thief through the wickets and high grass?

GIRL: Why, we'll take your father's yacht, of course!

BOY: *Blushes*

GIRL: What, what is it?

BOY: Oh, phoo! I'm afraid I can't really sail, this is just a silly outfit!

GIRL: Phoo!

BOY: Oh, how embarrassing this is! To think of me, parading like some captain when the first time I wore this hat I had to be reminded which end was front! I wish someone would just invent an autocar! How much easier running away will be then!

GIRL: Oh! Well, we can't go far together. Then let's just get lost! Somewhere nearby but not too far, just long enough to hold hands and titter and blush! Please, please! I promise I'll let you call me dear and perhaps I'll even take my coat off for a spell!

BOY: Oh, how nice it will be!

LITTLE BROTHER THE CORNPICKER: Hey!


GIRL: GASP!

LITTLE BROTHER THE CORNPICKER: You two aren't going nowheres!

GIRL: I thought your little brother the cornpicker was to be picking till nightfall!

BOY: Why, I thought, oh, I knew, oh-

LITTLE BROTHER THE CORNPICKER: I already met my quota for the day, riffraff! I was allowed to leave the cornfields! But I'll be goddamned if I let you two fanny about town sullying my good family name!

BOY: Oh little brother but to love, to be in love, it's like nothing I've ever-

LITTLE BROTHER THE CORNPICKER: Don't tell me about no love!

BOY: Phoo!

GIRL: Phoo!

*LITTLE BROTHER THE CORNPICKER takes bite of raw corn and undoes one strap of overalls*

FIN.
