Lucille
Wearily.
It sounds just the same to me.
Paul
My way gives me a triplet and makes it twice as effective! Listen!
Starts hitting the same old notes.
Lucille
Oh, isn’t that enough? Must I sit around all night listening to that?
Paul stops.
Paul
Why don’t you go out? You could go out if you want to.
Lucille
Who with?
Paul
You could go out with Eileen. You and herher could go somewhere.
Lucille
You know she’s got a date with Hart. I suppose you want me trailing along.
Paul
Well, I explained to you II can’t go no place, with this fella coming up. I told you a dozen times.
Lucille
I don’t expect you to take me anywhere, except maybe for a walk around the block. That’s free.
Paul
I don’t enjoy laying around here no more than you do. I’m not a nun.
