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?
Br: Yes. That wasn’t very chivalrous of me. But I was forced to do it, and the penalty for disobeying would’ve been severe.
And you’ve come here why? To say thank you?
Mads: And now that he’s dead, rather than go and live your life in peace, you’ve spent the last decade hunting us to do what? Shake my hand? Say thanks?
That’s exactly what I said?
Mads: I’ve never….well now I have a knight. Are you hungry? doorbell
That’s Jeffrey!
Br: What would be embarassing?
Gr: According to my daughters, anything I do.
Just act normal. How do I look, Father?
Gr: Indeed. This island seems to…what do you actually do for a living?
Father!
J: Uh, yes. Tell me, how did you two meet.
Mads: Oh, it’s a very long story.
Well Jeffery and I met at the summer carnival. We met in the beach and there was a full moon that night. It was just so romantic. Wasn’t it romantic, Jeffery?
J: Yes it was very romantic. Can I have my hand back please?
Oh. Sorry.
Gr: We have them enthralled. They think they are adding garlic of all things.
And the special wine, father?
J: Yes, of course. She explained to me which glasses were for the family and which ones were for guests.
Thank you, Jeffrey, you’re always so generous.
L: I like the way you smell.
J: Uh. Thank you?
Lilith!
Gr: If I may stop you…the chance has finally come…
What are you talking about father?
Please, Helena…The time has come for me to leave…
Seriously.
Yes, Helena…The fact that you found someone who wants to take care of you is simply a bonus…
This is so sudden, father.
Gr: Mainly a motor yacht…
Slump onto J
J: Helena are you alright?
I don’t know. I suddenly feel very strange…
