Narrator – Dee gets in to the car angry with her arms folded across her chest as Hakeem-a- barber get in on the other side and starts driving off.
Dee- (whispers and as continues her voice gets louder) I don’t understand, I took time out of my busy life to go up to that old house and see them. I ask for the one thing that carries our family history and she says because she promised Maggie!
Hakeem-a- barber – (glances over at Dee for a moment, then back at the road) its ok Hun we can get better things then those old quilts.
Dee – (looks at Hakeem-a- barber with dagger eyes) there is nothing better than those quilts Hakeem-a- barber. Those were supposed to be mine, I would have taken better care of them then Maggie would have!
Hakeem-a- barber – (getting annoyed) Dee you can’t get everything you want you know.
Dee – (angry) how dare you I don’t get everything, Maggie does!
Hakeem-a- barber – (annoyed) really is that so cause the way I see it, it looks to me as if you got the better end of the stick.
Dee – (confused) what do you mean?
Hakeem-a- barber – well unlike you Maggie went through some rough thing in her life and she doesn’t complain, but you were able to go to school, college and get a good job yet you still complain when you don’t get what you want. I think it’s good that Maggie gets those quilts from her mother who has given so much to you.
Narrator- after Hakeem-a- barber spoke there was a silence in the car as Dee thought to herself.
Dee- I guess you are right (Dee takes a deep breath and looks out the window)
Narrator – they drove they drove rest of the way home silent.
