[Hud sits with Alma on her bed]
Hud Bannon: You're a fine housekeeper, a fine cook, and a fine laundress. What else are you good at?
Alma Brown: Taking care of myself.
Hud Bannon: A piece of corn-silk like you shouldn't need to.
Alma Brown: That's what my first husband used to tell me. Then he took my wallet and my gasoline card, left me stranded at a hotel in downtown Albuquerque.
Hud Bannon: What did you do, wear your curlers to bed? Is that why he made for the hills?
Alma Brown: He was a gambler. He's probably up at Vegas right now, dealing all night and losing it back in the daytime.
Hud Bannon: Man like that sounds no better than a heel.
Alma Brown: Aren't you all?
Hud Bannon: Honey, don't go shooting all the dogs just because one of them's got fleas.
Alma Brown: I was married to Ed for six years. Only thing he was ever good for was scratching my back where I couldn't reach it.
Hud Bannon: You still got that itch?
Alma Brown: Off and on.
Hud Bannon: Well, let me know when it gets to bothering you.
