LUKE AND KATE ARE SITTING AT THE KITCHEN TABLE DISCUSSING THE SITUATION OF LITTLE LUKE HAVING THE HOTS FOR HIS TEACHER.

Well, I guess it happens all the time, Sugar Babe. A young boy having an attractive - very attractive, I might add - teacher and starting to have a thing for her. Like a girlfriend, kind of.

Well, you sure have thought about this!

And, very atractive??!

Well, what I meant was ...

No! I know what you meant.

No, I don't think you do! I was just saying it's natural for a young guy like Little Luke to, every once in a while, see his school teacher as more than just a teacher. I know it happened to me.

(to himself)

Boy! Did it!

What was that?

AMOS WANDERS IN LOOKING FOR A PIECE OF CORN PONE.

Hey Kate, didn't we have some left over pone from yesterday?

Nope. All gone.

No it's not, Sugar Babe. Remember, you put it in that box.

Oh yeah.

'Scuse her, Grampa. She's kind of mad at me for trying to explain why and how Little Luke might have a crush on his teacher.

(to Kate)

Oh, well, gol' durn it! It's OK for that to happen. It happens all the time. It happened to me, even.

(smiling)

Oh yeah? When, Grampa?

The other day.

What?! I thought you meant when you were young.

No sir, it was when I got a load of Little Luke's teacher over at the schoolhouse. Oh, mama!

Grampa, aren't you a little old to be getting the hots for a much younger woman?

I'm still alive, ain't I?

Touché!

KATE CUTS HER HUSBAND A COLD STARE.

I think it's disgusting of you men to go around ogling any woman you think is mildly attractive.

Kate, she ain't just any woman! She's a gol' durn fox! And "mildly attractive" doesn't begin to describe her!

Grampa! You should be ashamed!

Well, I could be persuaded to let this one go since Little Luke saw her first. But it pains me. It really does.

Mighty white of you, Grampa.
