All set, Bud?
gpt
All set.
human
Good. Tomorrow we get on his tail! Give us four days together, just four days, and you and me'll tag that black buck.
gpt
Oh, Delbert. You'd think that buck was more important than the President of the United States.
human
Right now, and as far as I'm concerned, he is, Mother. 'Sides, who'd want the President's head hanging on his setting-room wall?
gpt
That's all he's been talking about, just that black buck. And if he's been over his rifle once today, he's been over it a hundred times.
human
Got to have it right, Mother, Gramps said.
gpt
We'll get one chance and no more. If we miss when the chance comes, we'll have only ourselves to blame.
human
After all this fuss and bother you'd just better get him, Gram said dryly.
gpt
There'll be no living with you the rest of the winter if you don't. I'd give you a slice of butter bread, Allan, except that it's still too hot.
human
I'm not hungry, Bud said.
gpt
I'll change my clothes and do the chores.
human
I'll give you a hand,
gpt
No, you stay right here.
