Cousin John Moffit:
We'd like to go to New Orleans.
Amos:
From here?
Cousin John Moffit:
Well, we got to here from there. You do have trains going East don't you? They don't just all go West and disappear, do they?
Amos:
We got just as many going East as going West. That's kinda the way it works out.
Cousin John Moffit:
When is the, er, next one?
Amos:
Four days.
Cousin John Moffit:
Four days?
Amos:
Well now, there's a westbound going through tomorrow morning. You can take that as far as Cake City, if you've a mind to, and lay over there for the eastbound.
Cousin John Moffit:
Is there nothing at all until tomorrow morning?
Amos:
That's what I just got done telling you didn't I? Now, if you care to set a spell, I'll take you over to my house and I can rent you a bed for a dollar. If you're hungry, supper'll be another dollar. If you wanna wash up that's fifty cents, and rags to dry with is a quarter.
Cousin John Moffit:
Probably charge for the use of your outhouse too?
Amos:
Now what kind of a fella do you think I am to charge you for the use of his outhouse?
Cousin John Moffit:
Well, something anyway.
Amos:
Paper'll cost you fifty cents.
