Act I

Maxie
I don’t know. Five o’clock.
Eileen
Goebel and⁠—Hart both?
Maxie
Yah. Why? Did I say something dirty?
Eileen takes a moment to digest this bit of information; her eyes meet Lucille’s. Then, with a sudden movement, she turns and leaves the room. Lucille , after a thoughtful second, follows her out. Maxie looks after them, uncomprehending. Then he turns back to Paul.
Paul
That don’t matter. What did they say about the song?
Maxie
But I don’t understand⁠—
Paul
Listen⁠—what did they do? Turn it down?
Maxie
He has to say it.
Right now they don’t want it.
Paul
Hotly.
When did they hear it? After I left?
Maxie
They asked me, so there was nothing for me to do but give it to them. I had Nate sing it.
