how was i to know
they’d be so pushy over a broom sale?
stinking stampede it was, vi.
viola says:
you never will learn, harv.
harvey says:
i thought putting those brooms out for one cent would be good business.
viola says:
twelve women taken to doc flitt, harv,
with cuts and bruises. we’ll be
lucky if they don’t ask us to cover the doctor bills.
harvey says:
doc flitt wouldn’t charge us for that.
viola says:
doc flitt hasn’t been too
happy with you lately, harv. you and your klan. he might just
charge us double.
harvey says:
klan will see to him if he does.
oh fine, harv. you looking to drive away the
one good doctor we got here?
what happens if you need doctoring?
the two stand facing off, each as stout and solid as a house.
harvey says:
nothing’s going to happen to me, vi.
viola shakes her head in disgust
and makes up baskets of food
and a free broom
for each of the women who got hurt.
