Jake: We ain't goin' 'til we sees Miss Sally.
Joe: Yeah.
 
 
Remus: Miss Sally ain't got no
time to be bothered wid you.
 
 
Remus: An' she don't wanter hear no
talk about dat dawg, neither.
 
 
Sally: What's this all about?
 
 
Jake: Johnny's got our dawg
-- An' we we wants it back!
 
 
Sally: Your dog? You don't
mean that little puppy?
 
 
Jake: Yassum. Johnny took it down to
ol' Remus's so's you wouldn't know.
 
 
Sally: Is that right, uncle remus?
 
 
Remus: Well, you see
miss sally, I had..
 
 
Sally: I see. Uncle remus'll get your
dog back to you. Now run along, please.
 
 
Joe: You gonna whup johnny?
 
 
Jake: Ya oughta!
 
 
Jake: Johnny said he didn't
care if we told you....
 
 
Jake: ...bute not to tell our maw.
 
 
Joe: and when we told her,
she giv'd us a whuppin'.
 
 
Remus: Lawzy, Miss
Sally, Johnny didn't mean no harm.
 
 
Remus: He was jes' trying to be like
Brer Rabbit. I tol' him a tale 'bout de
 
 
Remus: tar baby an' he just got a li'l bit too
bodacious, and outreached hisse'f, dat's all.
 
 
Sally: Uncle Remus, i'm trying my best to bring up
Johnny to be obedient and truthful. But you and your
 
 
Sally: stories are making that very difficult. I think maybe
it would be better if he didn't hear any more for awhile.
 
 
Remus: Well, Miss Sally,
de stories ain't done no....
 
 
Sally: They only confuse him. Now I know you
mean well, Uncle Remus, but Johnny's too young.
 
 
Remus: Miss Sally.....
 
 
Sally: I'll have to ask you
not to tell him any more.
 
 
Remus: Yassum, Miss Sally......
 
 
Sally: But what else could I have done, mama? I
can't just overlook it, he has to learn to mind.
 
 
Doshy: That's very true, but without
Uncle Remus and his stories,
 
 
Doshy: the child will be utterly desolate.
He needs something to hold on to.
 
 
Sally: Well, he has his
mother....and his grandmother.
 
 
Doshy: We're not enough, sally. The boy must have
friends. And if it's not Uncle Remus, or the Favers
 
 
Doshy: children, then it must be someone else....
someone of his own age. That's just good common sense.
 
 
Tempy: What you trackin' through here for anyway?
Ain't I done tol' you 'bout messin' 'roun' my kitchen?
 
 
Sally: Johnny!
 
 
Johnny: Yes, mama.
 
 
Sally: Do you know what next tuesday is?
 
 
Johnny: Uh...of course. My birthday.
 
 
Sally: That's right, dear.
And what happens then?
 
 
Johnny: I get presents.
 
 
Sally: And a birthday
party. Would you like that?
 
 
Johnny: A party? Sure!
 
 
Sally: With lots of nice
little boys and girls.
 
 
Johnny: Can i ask Ginny?
 
 
Sally: Well, there'll be so
many other children, dear...
 
 
Doshy: ...That one more
won't make any difference.
 
 
Johnny: Gee! Thanks! Will daddy come?
 
 
Sally: Well, dear...uh...I'll
write and ask him.
 
 
Johnny: Oh boy.
 
 
Johnny: Teenchy! Here Teenchy!
 
 
Johnny: Teenchy! Here Teenchy!
Teenchy! Where are you?
 
 
Johnny: Uncle Remus? A present

Remus: He's gone.
 
 
Johnny: Gone? Then we gotta find him. Sump'n
might happen to him... if he runs around loose.
 
 
Remus: He ain't runnin' 'roun' loose.
 
 
Johnny: Then, where is he?
 
 
Remus: He's back at de Favers. Dat's
what he b'longs an' you knows it.

Johnny: Ginny gave him

Remus: Nemmine what I said! Yo' maw

Remus: come from an' you ain't done it.
She don't like dat, an' I don't blame her.
 
 
Johnny: But he wasn't
botherin' anybody.
 
 
Remus: She yo' maw an' she

Johnny: But...but...I...I love him. He...he
loves me. You should'na done it, Uncle Remus.
 
 
Johnny: Jake'll drown
him! I know he will.
 
 
Remus: Ain't no use o' you carryin'
on. Puppy's gone an' dat's dat.
 
 
Johnny: You don't even care! Teenchy's
gone...and you don't care at all.
 
 
Remus: Don't make no difference
whether I does or whether I
 
 
Remus: don't. I'm jes a wo' out ol'
man what ain't no good to nobody.
 
 
Johnny: But uncle remus,

Remus: Mebbe so, but i'm dat pestered I
