Thanksgiving weekend, each year at this season the good citizens of Summerfield make a pilgrimage of some 30 miles to witness the annual football classic between State University and the Aggies, And in the whole of Summerfield, there is no one more determined to go this year than Gilder's leaves nephew Leroy.
For weeks he has been hammering away at it. Hey Uncle, if I do the dishes tonight, can I go home? Can I help out of here? Can I know? No, Margie. Nobody asked you. Uncle, Lord, if he goes to that game, I shall just die.
Oh, why? Because Marshall's coming home for the weekend and he's taking me, and all Leroy wants to do a spy on us. Boy, that's a cheap thrill. You think I've been looking at you when I can be watching a football game?
Uncle Mark, don't let him go. You can't. You simply can. Nah, my dear. I think that's for me to decide. That's telling her. I don't see why Leroy hasn't just as good a right to the go to the game as you.
Hear that? After all, I think you might consider his side of it too. Yeah, I'm not considering my side of it. You stay out of this. But Uncle Mark, this is my only weekend with Marshall since he won away to school.
We want to be alone. Alone? They go to a football game to be alone! Now Leroy. I suppose you'd like everybody else in the stadium to get up and leave. 20,000 people. Leroy. I rest my case.
