have made the team, fancy!
DICK--[This tickles his sense of humor and he bursts into laughter.] Lily wins! [As his brother glares at him--looking at his watch.] Heavens, I'll have to hustle! [Gets to his feet.] I'm due at the Casino. [Comes and shakes MARTHA's hand formally.] I'm sorry I can't stay. MARTHA--So glad you came. Do come in again any time. We keep open house, you know--Western fashion. [She accentuates this.] DICK--[Hurriedly.] Delighted to. [He starts for the door in rear.] LILY--[As if suddenly making up her mind.] Wait a second! I'm coming with you-- DICK--Sure thing--only hurry, darn you! [He goes out.] LILY--[Stops at the door in rear and catching MARTHA's eye, looks meaningly at the others.] Phew! I need fresh air! [She makes an encouraging motion as if pummeling someone to MARTHA, indicating her assembled family as the victim--then goes out laughing. A motor is heard starting--running off.] ESTHER--[With a huge sigh of relief.] Thank goodness, she's gone. What a vixen! What would you do if you had a sister like that, Martha? MARTHA--I'd love her--and try to understand her. |
