Act 3, Scene 5 Flashcards
Is something wrong mistress?
No, no. Carry on. Why do we need so many forks?
Well, this is the dinner fork, and this is the salad fork.
And what about the oddly shaped fork?
That’s the oyster fork.
Are we having oysters?
No, but that’s where it goes. Should I get rid of the oyster fork?
No, no. whatever is proper for these…dinners.
Okay…
When do you suppose the dinner will be ready?
Well the bird is in the oven, should be ready by eleven, the soup is on the burner, and the waldorf salad is ready to be served at a moment’s notice.
Great. And a waldorf salad is…
Mads: Helena you don’t need to worry, Everything is being taken care of.
I know. But what if Jeffrey doesn’t like birds, or soups or waldorfs…
Don’t worry. If he likes you, then he’ll be just as desperate to make a good impression as you are. Whatever we serve, he’ll be happy.
What about Lilith? Has anyone seen her?
Mads: No. She apparently didn’t come home yesterday, ut don’t worry. I fshe had been caught in the daylight we would’ve felt it. I’m sure she just found a safe place to holde up for the day.
This is so like her! I set up an important dinner where i’m going to introduce Father to the love of my life and she makes it all about herself! Next thing you know she’ll burst in at the wrong moment and probably ruin everything.
Don’t worry, if anything like that happens, we’ll deal with it. I have three explanations about why she would be covered in blood ready to go in my mind. We’ll be fine.
Why do you think she didn’t come home yesterday? Was it something I said?
Gr: There you both are. I see that everything is in order. Are you planning on wearing that for Jefferey? How very modern of you.
Oh my god! I’m a mess! I need to go change!
Grim: Oh no! That is for you to do. In fact, things have been so hectic that I haven’t even had time to-
Jeffrey it’s so good to- YOU!!!
Br: Thank you, Much practice.
Father?
Br: Please, dear lady, I mean you no arm, I come with the permission of your father.
You invited a vampire hunter to my dinner with Jeffery?
Br: If you may, please let me thoroughly apologize for any wrongful treatment I may have given you in the past.
Oh, you mean like when you tortured me?
