Lucille
Trying to do some quick thinking.
I was—out.
Paul
Quiet, but terrifying.
I said, where were you?
Lucille
Do I have to report all my movements?
Paul
You do when I catch you lying! Where were you?
Lucille
I had an engagement! It was—with an old friend of mine, and I thought you might not want me to do it, and so I told you I was with Eileen.
Fred
Beginning to understand.
Oh!
Lucille
I know it was foolish of me! I was going to tell you later.
Eileen
She was going to tell you tonight! She told me so.
Lucille
Yah!
Paul
Yah? Where’d you get that dress?
After another terrible pause.
