LANGHEINRICH
I do feel pretty jolly to-day, an' that's a fac'! I got a piece o' work done. An' if I don't go an' fall down from the steeple when I puts it up--I'll go an' christen this here occasion. An' I won't use water.
MRS. FIELITZ
Are you goin' to put it up yourself?
LANGHEINRICH
You c'n take your oath on that! An' why not? Schmarowski, he designed it.
But I forged it an' I'll put it up.
_LEONTINE enters._
LEONTINE
You better let Schmarowski do that himself.
EDE
Schmarowski ain't afraid o' anything shaky.
LANGHEINRICH
No, that's as true as can be, I know. He ain't afraid o' G.o.d nor the devil. That little man ... I tell you, Bismarck is just a coward alongside o' him!
FIELITZ
I'd like to make a inquiry: who is it that built that there new house?
LANGHEINRICH
Well, who did?
FIELITZ
Me! An' not Schmarowski.
EDE
Well, that's certain! We all knows that, Mr. Fielitz.
FIELITZ
Right up from the foundation! Me an' n.o.body but me! That there is my land, my bricks, my money! All the insurance money's been sunk into that.
Ax mother here if that ain't the fac'!
[_Laughter._
MRS. FIELITZ
Oh, Lord, Fielitz! Can't you let that be? Has you got to tell them old stories all over again?
FIELITZ
That I has! I got to prove that, mother! I got to let them people know who I is! Watch out, I tell you, when I makes my speech to-day!
MRS. FIELITZ
Schmarowski says there ain't goin' to be no speech makin'.
FIELITZ
You can't go an' tie up my tongue, an' Schmarowski can't do it neither!
[_He withdraws into the adjoining little room._
LANGHEINRICH
You better look out, ole lady, an' see that there ain't no b.l.o.o.d.y row raised. There's talk now o' some people wantin' to get ugly. Better be a bit careful!
MRS. FIELITZ
All you gotta do is to keep your eye on him a bit. Treat him to drinks from the beginnin'. I can't keep that man in order to-day. He's bound to go to the festival.
LANGHEINRICH
Schmarowski got a drubbin' yesterday.
EDE
Last night, yes, after the people's meetin'.
MRS. FIELITZ
Maybe he went an' gave it to 'em a bit too hot.
LANGHEINRICH
That's what he did. That little scamp talked, Mrs. Fielitz! The whole meetin' just shouted! An' he didn't mind callin' a spade a spade neither.
MRS. FIELITZ
He oughtn't to be so hot, I think.
LANGHEINRICH
That he ought, just that! An' why not? Do what you can an' go ahead!
