Scott monologue (Act 3) — Beyond the Horizon

(_comes and slaps_ ANDREW _on the back_) I’m damned glad you’re shippin’ on, Andy. I like your spirit, and the way you spoke up to him. (_Lowering his voice to a cautious whisper_) The sea’s the place for a young feller like you that isn’t half dead ’n’ alive. (_He gives_ ANDY _a final approving slap_) You ’n’ me’ll get along like twins, see if we don’t. I’m goin’ aloft to turn in. Don’t forget to pack your dunnage. And git some sleep, if you kin. We’ll want to sneak out extra early b’fore they’re up. It’ll do away with more argyments. Robert can drive us down to the town, and bring back the team. (_He goes to the door in the rear, left_) Well, good night.
