Daisy: Good afternoon, ladies. How are your projects coming along today?
Is the bread just fine? Are your weavings all but perfect if not so?
Feath: I'm afraid we're all to busy to talk to you right now, Daisy.
Dew: The rest of us have work to do, you know.
Arrow: We can't all be sorcerer's apprentices, you know.
Daisy: Oh, don't be like that. I'd be glad to work but my guardian would not
permit it. I have to save my energy in case a spiritual emergency
develops. You understand?
Squaws: Yes, we understand!
Fount: (enters) I understand.
Daisy: Good afternoon, your highness. You understand my case?
Fount: I understand their case. The tribe is undergoing an economic
crisis and all day long you skip and dance when there's work to be done.
Feath: And how many baskets has your highness woven this afternoon?
Arrow: And how many loaves of bread has she baked?
Fount: Don't be impertinent. I would be glad to work but I am an Indian
Princess. It would be beneath me.
Daisy: It's terrible, ain't it? You share my situation.
Fount: Not a bit.
Feath: And the difference is?
Fount: The difference is that I say I am an Indian Princess and I am
an Indian Princess. (to Daisy) Your guardian says he is a shaman
and he is not a shaman. He is a charlatan! A quack! A fake!
Squaws: Oh!
Arrow: Please, would you have the sun fall out of the sky?
Feath: Or the rivers stop flowing?
Dew: Or the winds cease blowing?
Daisy: You must be grateful for Flying Squirrel's special abilities.
Fount: Bah! I am grateful for having a special ability called common sense.
