I admit it, but that ain’t the p’int. When the Hunts an’ Lowries fought the last time the Hunts killed three more Lowries ’n the Lowries killed Hunts! Do you call that ekal?

That’s all over now, Andy!

But it ain’t ekal—is it?

Why, Andy, that happened so long ago—afore me an’ you ’us born!

That ain’t the p’int. It ain’t ekal!

All right, then, it ain’t. But what do you want me to do to equalize things?

I don’t want you to do a dam’ thing but holler! I’ll do the ekalizin’! An’ they’s only one way! The Hunts killed three more Lowries ’n the Lowries killed Hunts! I’m a-goin’ to kill three more Hunts ’n the Hunts killed Lowries!
