scene 4 Flashcards
Edward: come on. When have I ever embarrassed you?
Fine. I’m not good around orchestras. But I really thought I could play that violin. It doesn’t look that hard.
(Sandra enters wearing a beautiful dress)
Honey, get dressed.
Edward: Will was holding me up! Look at you. Give me a kiss.
I just did my face. Go put on clothes.
Edward: oh, hey! Is that a violin? Let me see that.
(To will) are you nervous?
Will: no. Yes. Mom, about dad… I know you can’t control him…
I could just as easily control the weather.
Will: dad is like the weather. I can predict him, sort of, but I fundamentally don’t understand him. I don’t get him. He’s this baffling hurricane.
If you’re going to worry about anyone, worry about your poor mother. Abandoning me for a woman on television.
Will: you love Josephine.
I do. We turn on the cable news sometimes just to watch her. She’s smart and pretty and kind. But you’re my little Alabama lamb, all the way up there in New York.
(Then)
You want to practice one more time?
Will: absolutely.
Forward, together, side, together,. Back, together…
Not out loud, Will.
Will: right.
Better! That’s it.
