Act 2 - Start Ttumpet Flashcards
Very pretty – very pretty indeed.
You’re very dressy! Where are you going?
Taganis.
Is it a Dancehall or a nightclub or what?
Bit of all sorts really. Doris works there.
What does she do?
Sings a couple of numbers and does a dance with a skipping rope.
Very enjoyable.
I think it’s a bit wet if you ask me, but still it goes down all right.
Are you going to marry Doris?
Me Mary? What a hope!
You know you really are dreadfully immoral, Fred.
That’s right.
I know for a fact that you’ve been taking advantage of Doris for over two years now.
Why not? She likes it, I like it any good times had by all.
What will she do when we go to Africa?
She’ll manage she’s got a couple of blocks running around after her now.
Oh, I see, she’s communal.
Will you bring in the morning as usual or do you want to be called?
I’ll ring. How is Miss Erickson gone?
Oh yes, she went early.… They turn out all the lights, play the gramophone and talk to an Indian.
I suppose if it makes her happy it’s all right.
She’s a good worker even if she is a bit scary and you can’t have everything, can you?
No, Fred.
Will that be all?
Yes, thank you, friend. Enjoy yourself.
Same to you — be good.
Phone rings
Allo, Allo?— Who is that speaking, Please? Oh, Liz — no, I’ve been in about half an hour – yes, dear, quite alone, I’m turning over a new leaf, hadn’t you heard? — I went to the play with them last night, to supper at the Savoy afterwards and Morris and I dropped her at home. — no, I didn’t go on about it anymore, I thought it wise or not. You sound a little skeptical – no, as a matter of fact she is very charming, she’s quite intelligent you know and I must say she’s a permanent pleasure to the eye — all right — all right — I’m going straight to bed now alone — good night, Liz darling.
