Read the following scene from the little foxes
ben. (very jovial) i suppose i have been. and why not? horace has done hubbard sons many a good turn. why

regina. (laughs) him! him when you need him, that's what you mean.
ben. what a woman you married, horace. (laughs awkwardly when horace does not answer well, then i'll make
it quick. you know what i've been telling you for years. how i've always said that every one of us little southern

make those fingers grow longer: i'm a lucky man, horace, a lucky man. to dream and to live to get what you've
dreamed of. that's my idea of a lucky man. (looks at his fingers as his arm drops slowly) for thirty years i've cried
bring the cotton mills to the cotton. (horace opens medicine bottle). well, finally got up nerve to go to marshall
company in chicago.
what would be similar about a stage and a film interpretation of this scene?
