HANK

I wouldn't have all this junk if you'd give it to me. No, sir, when I move I carry my house with me and there ain't much o' that now. (_Indicates his clothes_)

JONATHAN

All ready. Now you sit there.

[_Places Hank on the bench._

_He goes behind the screen and taps some bells._

HANK

What's that fer?

JONATHAN

That's to get ready.

HANK

Well, I'm ready.

[_Jonathan opens the curtain and discloses a scene from Zen.o.bia._

That's beautiful. It's just like real.

[_Jonathan pulls a figure across the stage._

h.e.l.lo, old man. That's the one I jus' seen. Where's the string?

[_Jonathan lifts the string._

JONATHAN

Here it is.

HANK

Now where's that feller goin' to?

JONATHAN (_coming out from behind the screen_)

Well, you see, _Zen.o.bia_--

HANK

_Zen.o.b_--G.o.d, what a name!

JONATHAN

They used to have names like that.

HANK

How d' you do it?

JONATHAN

Look, I'll show you a little.

[_He goes behind the screen and closes the curtain._

HANK

What you doin' that for? I like to see that picture.

JONATHAN

I'm going to show you how I do it.

[_Jonathan rings the bells._

HANK

All right. I'm ready. Let her go.

[_Jonathan opens the curtain and pulls a character on, then another._

JONATHAN (_in a.s.sumed voice_)

"Hail, n.o.ble duke."

"All is well, I ween."

HANK

Say, are they talkin' to each other?

JONATHAN

Yes.

HANK

Which is the n.o.ble duke?

JONATHAN (_pulling a string_)
