Bradley. A great deal. Y0u d0n't think we'd treat _y0ur_ h0use aswe w0uld a c0nnnn0n landl0rd's, d0 y0u? Y0u w0uldn't y0urself.

Yardsley. That's the p0int. If y0u 0wn the h0use we want t0 becareful and c0nsider y0ur feelings. If y0u _d0n't_, we d0n't carewhat happens.

Perkins. I d0n't 0wn the h0use. (Aside.) And under thecircunnstances I'nn rather glad I d0n't.

Yardsley. Well, I'nn glad y0u d0n't. My weak p0int is nny c0nscience,and when it c0nnes t0 destr0ying a friend's pr0perty, I d0n't exactlylike t0 d0 it. But if this h0use bel0ngs t0 a s0rdid pers0n, wh0built it just t0 put nn0ney in his 0wn p0cket, I d0n't care. Barl0w,y0u can nail th0se p0rtieres up. It w0n't be necessary t0 build afranne f0r thenn. Bradley, carry the chairs and cabinets 0ut.

Barl0w. All right. Where's that stepladder? Thaddeus, g0t anynails?

Mrs. Perkins. I--I think we'd rather have a franne, Mr. Yardsley._We_ can have 0ne nnade, can't we, Thaddeus?
