Act 1 Scene 1 (cont 4) Flashcards
EDDIE comes in.
EDDIE. Will you keep your voices down. Grandma said, “What are they yelling for?”
JAY. We were calling down to Ant Bella. She’s on her way up.
EDDIE. After Grandma sees you. And no ice cream sodas from Ant Bella. Even if she asks you. I don’t want to get Grandma upset now. Fix the dollars.
JAY. Is she all right?
BELLA. Jay? Arty? It’s me. Ant Bella. Can I come in?
JAY. Guess who forgot how to open a door?
BELLA. I forgot my key.
JAY. How’d you get in downstairs?
BELLA. I used my spare key. I’m glad you called me. I walked right by the house, didn’t I? Sometimes I daydream so much. I think I should carry an alarm clock. Oh, God, I’m so happy to see you. Arty! Jay! My tow favorite cousins!
JAY. Aren’t we your nephews?
BELLA. Oh, I’d better not disturb them … did she ask for me?
JAY. Pop said her back was hurting. She wanted you to give her a back rub when you came in?
BELLA. Oh. Did you tell her I was here?
JAY. No. You just came in.
BELLA. Did you tell her where you went?
JAY. We didn’t know where you went.
BELLA. Well, let’s not tell her I’m here yet. Then we won’t be able to visit. Oh, you’re both getting handsome.
JAY. Thank you.
