Mrs. Buttonwood, Willie and others in “You Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog”

[arrives at the Tanners to look for Alfina] Where is he?

Willie

Where's who?

My dog. That's who. You found him, didn't you?

Willie

Well, yes, we did. I mean, that is to say we found a dog.

He's mine. Where is he?

Brian

It's not a he. She's a she.

I knew that. Is that her?

Lynn

Don't you recognize her?

Of course, I do. Come here, dog!

Kate

She doesn't seem to be responding to you.

We had a fight! She'll get over it.

Willie

Uh, do you suppose and, uh, mind you, this is just a thought, that you might be mistaken about this being your dog?

I lost a dog. You found a dog. Can we do business or not?

Willie

I think not.

[gives Willie her a note] Here's my address and telephone number in case you change your mind.

Willie

[quietly] Okay.

[yelling] HAVE A NICE DAY!
