[Abigail and Woody walk out the house.]
Abigail: John and Maddie, we got a telegram from some lady friend of yours. A Bonnie something or other. Something you ain't telling me?
John: Bonnie MacFarlane. She's a friend. Saved my life when I went after Bill and nearly got myself killed again.
Woody: Oh, and now you two's are in the habit of sending each other letters? How very nice.
Maddie: It weren't nothing like that. What's it say?
Abigail: I don't know. I can't...well you know I can't read.
John: Give it here.
Woody: You read that thing out loud.
Maddie: I ain't hiding nothing. "Dear Mr. Marston and Mrs. Morgan STOP. Need corn sacks STOP. Emergency STOP. Weevils and moths ate entire county supply STOP. Can you help?" Not exactly the most romantic request now, is it?
Abigail: I guess not, and she saved your life you say?
John: Yes, ma'am.
Woody: Well, then you're going to have to go and help her and her family out. We've got a plentiful supply of corn sacks over near the silo. 'Bout the one thing Uncle didn't manage to have stolen while we was gone.
Maddie: Okay.
Abigail: Hurry back, John and Maddie...and John and Maddie, what's she like?
John: Well, you know...a little bit like you, I guess. She's a woman in a man's world.
[John and Maddie load up.]
Woody: John and Maddie! Wait! I changed my mind -- I'm comin' with you. Well, come on. Let's get goin'. I don't think I can let you go off again without me.
Maddie: Fair enough. I'm glad of the company, you only had to ask.
Abigail: Ask? I was waitin' for you to ask me.
John: I thought you'd want to keep an eye on the boy and girls.
Woody: Oh, while you were off cavortin' with cowgirls in the next county? I don't think so, John Marston and Maddie Morgan. You only just got home. That Jack, Applejack, and Jessie has seen enough of me for a lifetime. So, is she married, this Bonnie MacFarlane.
Maddie: No.
Abigail: What does she look like?
John: I don't know. Pretty normal, I guess.
Woody: Normal? What normal like me?
Maddie: What? No. Normal as in two eyes, a mouth, nose, that kind of normal. Besides, ain't no woman fine as Abigail.
Abigail: A little flattery. Now we're finally gettin' somewhere.
John: If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.
Woody: Another pearl of wisdom from John Marston and Maddie Morgan. I sure do miss those.
Maddie: I never took you for the jealous type, Abigail and Woody.
Abigail: I ain't jealous so much as curious.
John: You heard what she wrote. It's just some corn. She saved my life, and she was decent enough to me, so I owe her this much at least.
Woody: How did she save your life, anyway?
Maddie: She found me half-dead on the side of the road and took me to the doctor. Most folks would have left me there.
Abigail: Half-dead from what?
John: Bill didn't take so kindly to me visiting unannounced.
Woody: Bill never did like surprises. How was he?
