Curly: And uh... hey, while I think about it, how bout, uh, marryin' me? Laurey: Gracious! What'd I want to marry you for? Curly: Uh, well, I dunno, couldn't you maybe think up some reason why you might? Ado Annie: I never think of no one unlessin he's with me. Will Parker: Then I'm never gonna leave your side! Laurey: [comes out holding laundry hamper] [singing] Laurey: Oh, what a beautiful mornin'! Oh, what a beautiful day. Laurey: [sees curly] [speaking] Laurey: Oh, thought you were somebody. Laurey: [continues singing while hanging clothesline] I got a beautiful feeling, ev'rythin's goin' my way. Laurey: [looks at Curly and Aunt Eller] Is this all that's come a-callin' an' already 10 o'clock on a Saturday mornin'? Curly: [singing] Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day, I got a beautiful feelin', ev'rything's goin' my way. Curly: Well, you got a gun, I see. Jud Fry: Good 'un. Colt 45. Curly: Oooeee, whatcha do with it? Jud Fry: Shoot things. Curly: Oh. Curly: Hey, that's a good lookin' rope you got there. You know Will Parker? Yeah, well he can sure spin a rope! That's a strong hook you got there, Judd. You could hang yourself on that. Jud Fry: I could what? Curly: Uh... hang yourself. It'd be as easy as falling of a log. In fact, you could stand on a log, or a chair if you'd rather. Right about here, see? Just put this here 'round your neck, tie that good up there first, of course, and all you'd have to do would be to fall off the log, or the chair, whichever you'd rather fall off of, and in five minutes or less with good luck you'd be... you'd be dead as a doornail. Jud Fry: What do you mean by that? Curly: Uh, well, then folks would come to your funeral and sing sad songs. Jud Fry: [in disbelief] Eh. Curly: Oh, they would. Oh you never know how many people like you till you're dead! Andrew Carnes: [singing] The farmer is a good and thrifty citizen, no matter what the cowman says or thinks! You'll seldom see him drinking in a barroom. Curly: [singing] Unless somebody else is buying drinks! Ali Hakim: Where are you going? Will Parker: I'm gonna stop Ado Annie from killing your wife! Ali Hakim: Mind your own business! Laurey: I don't see why this had to happen when everything was so fine. Aunt Eller: Now don't let your mind run on it. Laurey: [sobbing] I won't ever forget, I tell ya. Never will. Aunt Eller: That's alright, Laurey baby. You can't forget, just don't try to. Oh, lots of things happen to folks. Sickness or being poor and hungry, being old and a feared to die. That's the way it is, cradle to grave, and you can stand it. There's just one way: you gotta be hardy. You gotta be. You can't deserve the sweet and tender in life unless'n you're tough. Laurey: I wisht I was the way you are! Aunt Eller: Oh, fiddlesticks. Scrawny and old... why, you couldn't hire me to be the way I am. Laurey: Curly, you're sittin' on a stove! Curly: [yelps, jumps up, feels bottom, feels stove] It's cold as a hunk a ice. [curly and laurey laugh] Aunt Eller: She likes you. Curly: If she liked me any more she'd stick the dogs on me.
