if we join the klan, harvey says,
we can wipe out bronson’s grocery by next year, vi.
all the klan members will shop here,
even if they live closer to bronson.
bronson’s made his feelings against the klan clear.
if we join up with them, how long could bronson last? six months, nine?
viola says:
and what about all our regulars, harv?
we make this store “klan only”
we lose a lot of business.
where do you think they’ll all go?
harvey says:
it doesn’t matter. that little bit of business,
it won’t be enough to keep bronson flush, vi. you’ll see.
i don’t think so, viola says.
