Sc. 4 cont'd
May: Ok. Thanks. Henry and I will need to talk this over.
Bill: Alright. Give me a ring.
Jaime: Very nice to meet you Señora. It's good to meet someone who cares about the trees. Good luck on the acequia.
(Bill and Jaime depart, May curls up in a chair on the porch, after a long pause Henry comes out)
Henry: I heard voices, Bill not here?
May: No, they've gone.
Henry: What's the word?
May: Comme çi comme ça. Actual labor? Very reasonable.
Henry: Fake labor?
May: Lawyers.
Henry: Umph.
May: Umph indeed.
Henry: Is it about title?
May: Sort of. Water rights. The nature of our property. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Henry: So, it's a no go?
May: Maybe. I suppose so. But I'd like to at least talk to a lawyer.
Henry: May.
May: You said I could research. This is still research.
Henry: May.
May: We had a deal.
Henry: Alright, alright. Come back with an estimate.
May: Any recommendations?
Henry: For a lawyer?!
May: Yes!
Henry: No. . . . ok, I'll call Frank and see if he can track down someone out here. So what's the field?
May: Water rights.
Henry: An estimate. An honest estimate.
May: Ok.
