Act 1: Scene 8 Flashcards
Start of Scene 8
And this is Cousin Helga from Baden-Baden.
Ali: Who’s that looking over her shoulder?
Oh, no. That’s her other head.
Ali: She has two heads?
Well, you know what they say.
Ali: And who’s that man in the dress?
Oh. That’s Aunt Herman. Wednesday’s uncle, twice removed. (turns to another photo) And here’s Gomez and me, at our wedding.
Ali: What’s that?
Our wedding vows
Ali: That’s so romantic. (reading) “We promise to tango at least three times a week.”
-For passion.
Ali: “We promise to tell each other everything.”
-For truth
Ali: Everything?
Of course.
Ali: And you’re still married?
More than ever.
Ali: Boy, it sure doesn’t work that way in our house.
How does it work?
Ali: Well- “What’s good for the gander is a nice quiet goose; if I told Mal my secrets, all hell would break loose.”
Alice, I’m shocked, What kind of a marriage is it you keep secrets?
