Prosperous:

No need to be so disagreeeable, Miss Lotta. I'm expectin' to meet someone here.

Shorty:

That's right, Miss Lotta. Mr. Johnson's got his niece comin' to town today. He's never met her before so they're fixin' to randezvous here.

Lotta:

Well, this ain't no lonely hearts club, you two. We got work to do. Shorty, I need you to fix that fence in the back and finish the floor.
