George looked up from shoeing the horse to see the outline of Curley's wife in the doorway of the barn. They were alone. George mumbled, " what ya doing out here, I wouldn't be pushin my luck if I were you. " Curley's wife reacts " I was just wonderin why your out here all by yourself. " George responded " sometimes I want to feel free as a bird, and not have anything to worry about." Curley's wife spoke softly, " well I was just curios, that's all." George whispered, " well you know, curiosity killed the cat." Curley's wife ran her fingers through her hair " you should feel my hair, it's smooth like butter." George shockingly replied " why the hell would you want me to feel your hair? that's the bottom line lady.You need to head back to the drawin board with this one. " Curley's wife defendingly said " I'm sorry George I'm just under the weather today. It's just such a crystal clear day and I didn't want to stay inside the house." George continued shoeing the horse and said " I understand that but you can't be tellin every guy to feel your hair. One day it will get you in trouble, and all hell will break loose. " Curley's wife just stood there. George spoke in a grand stature " look, Curley has some bad blood around here. I'm sorry for barking at you like a dog. He just thinks he is the bee's knees. I shouldn't of talked to you like that, I'm takin all my anger out on you instead of him."
Curley's wife responded " It's ok George I'm just lonely and everyone thinks I'm tryin to cheat on him, but I'm not. I try to bend over backwards for that guy but nothin seem to please him." George said " I understand but if you don't mind I'd like to finish shoeing this horse. " George nodded back and continued working on the horse.
