Oh. Piece of cake.

Q

The boy’s got in last night and they’re taking care of the odds and ends.

A

(go to shampoo station)

31
Q

Keep your head in the sink please.

A

(squirt m’lynn with water) I’m sorry, I’m so sorry

32
Q

Are you going to quit nursing

A

(wrap head in towel and head to SR chair)

33
Q

Anytime you have anything to say you let ‘er rip.

A

I don’t have anything to say.

34
Q

Do you think you can roll up Mrs. Eatenton, Annelle?

A

I don’t know. Today is very special. And my work tends to be too poofy when I’m nervous. Does your dress have to go over your head?

35
Q

Very nice Annelle. I think you know what you’re doing

A

Thank you. Mrs. Eatenton you have great hair. And your scalps clean as a whistle.

36
Q

With all this wedding nonsense and running around.

A

Excuse me. Should I call a doctor or something?

37
Q

This one wasn’t bad at all. But I think we should have a little more juice.

A

Can I do something? Should I…
(go get towels and clean floor)

38
Q

Shelby, honey? It’s Tommy.

A

(put towels in basket)

39
Q

Do you realize how rude we are being to poor Annette?

A

Elle…

40
Q

Annelle tell us about yourslef.

A

There’s nothing to tell

41
Q

Where do you live?

A

On the corner of Jefferson and Second

42
Q

which corner?

A

The one where you can’t see the house for the weeds.

43
Q

You must live in Mrs. Robelines house.

A

She’s my landlady

44
Q

Are you getting along with her?

A

What’s the matter with her?

45
Q

Nothing. Are you happy there?

A

She scares me. She’s always watching me. Sometimes I catch her looking through my key hole.

46
Q

He finally put it down to go to the bathroom.

A

I’d like to ask a question. I’m new here and all. Is my life in danger?

47
Q

I know.

A

What if he comes over here and tries to get his gun back?

48
Q

He probably thinks we all run around naked or something.

A

(looking out window) There’s somebody coming! A strange lady with a strange dog!

49
Q

That would be Ouiser.

A

That is one ugly dog. What kind of dog is that?

50
Q

You must be the new girl.

A

Hi.

51
Q

It’s mine!

A

(enter with water)

52
Q

…but these are the dearest friends I have in this town

A

His color’s good. His skins real pink.

53
Q

What is your name did you tell me?

A

Annelle.

54
Q

Fine. Are you new in town? I know everyone. I don’t recall ever seeing you before.

A

I just moved to town not too long ago.

55
Q

With your family?

A

No’m. I don’t have any family to speak of.

56
Q

With your husband?

A

Uh…my husband? That’s hard to say…I…uh…I don’t know.

57
Q

You don’t know?

A

I’m not sure.

58
Q

I’m intrigued. Are you married or not? These are not difficult questions.

A

Uh…we’re not…he’s not…I can’t talk about it.

59
Q

Of course you can!

A

I’m not sure if I’m married or not…he’s gone!

60
Q

Honey. Men are the most horrible creatures.

A

Everything is horrible. Bunky…that’s my husband. He left. We only moved here a month ago. He just vanished last week.

61
Q

No idea where he went?

A

Nobody knows. He took all the money, my jewelry, the car. Most of my clothes were in the trunk.

62
Q

There might have been foul play. Have you been to the police?

A

No…but they’ve been to me. He’s in big trouble with the law. Drugs or something. He never paid the rent so I got thrown out of our house and had to move in at crazy old Mrs. Robeline’s. The police keep questioning me. But I don’t know anything. They say my marriage may not be legal…

63
Q

You should’ve said something.

A

I was scared to. I need a job in the worst way and I didn’t know if you’d hire someone who may or may not be married to someone who might be a dangerous criminal. But I swear to you my ability to do good hair.

64
Q

Of course it won’t…

A

I really don’t think things could get any worse.

65
Q

You must be made of courage.

A

I’m totally alone. Checks are bouncing everywhere. Everything is going wrong. I keep asking myself…why me?

66
Q

I know one thing I can do. Tonight, you are going to drop by my house and have some bleeding armadillo groom’s cake. It’s going to be a great party.

A

Oh, I couldn’t. I still get real emotional sometimes…

67
Q

And if you feel yourself start getting sad, just watch my husband dance. It’s very funny.

A

You’re all so nice.

68
Q

We enjoy being nice to each other. There’s not much else to do in this town.

A

But I don’t have anything to wear.

69
Q

I’m sure we can work out some arrangement with the rent.

A

Oh…! (hug truvy)

70
Q

Looks like drum has set his trees on fire or he’s just elected a new pope.

A

I guess it worked. All the birds are leaving.
