Part 52 (1/2)

JONATHAN

Do you make up tunes?

HANK

That's the only one I ever done. It comes in handy and it don't hurt no one.

[_Jonathan unconsciously tries to whistle a phrase of the tune._

HANK

No, that ain't it. It's this way.

[_Whistles._

_Jonathan tries it again and fails._

No. Here.

_Jonathan makes it this time._

HANK

That's it. Say, what you got these bars for? It's like jail. Are they afraid you'll jump out on them rocks?

JONATHAN

No, I guess not. There isn't much danger of my wanting to jump out.

HANK

You never can tell for sure, young feller.

JONATHAN

It's to keep people from climbing in.

HANK

There ain't no bars over that one. (_Pointing to gable window_)

JONATHAN

That's too high.

HANK

It'd be like fallin' off the top of a house, wouldn't it?

[_Whistles._
