EVAN
Look'ee there. Who's that comin' up the road? Is
that the Sheriff?
ETHAN
No, it's Deputy Lynch. He's a nice enough fella, for
a Klansman. You getter gimme that back, though.
They swap knives and whittle
innocently.
Enter DEPUTY JUDD LYNCH.
LYNCH
Hello there!
ETHAN
Afternoon, Deputy Lynch.
LYNCH
What are you boys doin' up on that porch?
EVAN
Whittlin'.
LYNCH
Shuckadillies! You mind if I join you?
LYNCH runs up on the porch and sits
down between them.
ETHAN
Not at all, Deputy Lynch.
LYNCH
I got me a brand new pocket knife, and I been itchin'
for some action.
LYNCH pulls out a very small
pocketknife. He whittles like he's
compensating for something.
ETHAN
Take it easy, Deputy Lynch. You wanna make it last.
LYNCH
Don't tell me how to whittle, boy.
LYNCH's twig snaps.
LYNCH
Aw, dagnabbit! That's the third time this week.
