act 2 scene 1 (annelle) Flashcards
My artistic nature is relieved
It’s very becoming. I guess with that baby, you don’t have time to spend hours fussing with your hair. You need something you can just run your fingers through and go.
How do you feel about marshall?
(go to praying area)
He could always turn a phrase
(awkward silence) amen.
im out of uhh..
is it still next to…?
No, it’s over the…
Ok. (exit)
Maybe I’m just jealous.
(Annelle enters, smacks the radio, go back to hair)
I have trouble getting enough grease into my diet
Then why do you grow them?
I am now receiving chain letters for Christ
They aren’t chain letters. They’re part of my prayers group reach out and touch project. We were each supposed to write somebody in the community that we thought might be in spiritual trouble and invite them to worship. (take mail) I guess you made everybody’s list
Are you taking a trip?
Yes, I am
Aren’t you going to tell us where you’re going?
(turn to Ousier) No.
Please Annelle. I don’t know how I’ll get through the week without this information.
You’ll just make fun.
I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of a Camp Crossroads…
It’s in the middle of Arkansas. It’s a Christian camp. There’s just cabins, a chapel, a dining hall in the middle of the mountains with a lake. I will spend a week in Bible study, prayer, and meditation. You’re in the middle of nature surrounded by the beauty of the lord.
Is your boyfriend going with you?
No. He said he’d rather eat dirt.
This born-again process seems awfully tedious
I have to say this, Miss Ouiser. And I don’t mean to hurt you. But… I worry about your faith sometimes. (point tool at Ouiser).
Ousier, have you no shame?
Oh, that’s all right, Truvy. I love Miss Ouiser. I pray for her everyday… sometimes twice.
Thirtieth
Ooo! That’s a big one. What is the thirtieth anniversary?
How do you mean?
You know… first anniversary is paper. Twentieth is china. Twenty-fifth is silver. Thirtieth must be…
It’s been a lovely week.
(go to shampoo station)
I have to go get my tires rotated.
Miss Ouiser…?
Shelby’s been driving nails into her arms.
What?!
It’s my dialysis
What?
Dialysis. It’s when…
I know what it is.
There’s nothing you could do.
We could have done something.
Three or four a week.
They do. Our Sunday school class was praying for one just the other day.
She’s right.
But you never know when one will pop up, do you?
Mama’s going to give me one of her kidneys.
What?!
I’m the closest match.
What do you mean match?
…Categories…I matched the best.
Categories?
Ain’t that the truth
I’m going to postpone my vacation a day so I can sit with your husband during the operation. I can run get Co-Colas and things.
M’lynn. You are brave, you are brave.
You know? If I didn’t know better, Shelby, I wouldn’t even know you’d ever been sick a day in your life.
Do I look fabulous or what?
God bless you, Shelby.
