New cards

Cue line: Ernie- Nobody getting that door?... These kids are up to something, I know it.

2
New cards

Ernie- Hello.

Good evening.

3
New cards

Ernie- No. Everyone's here. They're just - spread out a little.

Could I have a drink, please? Double Scotch, straight up.

4
New cards

Ernie- Sure. Fine. I don't believe we've met. I'm Ernie Cusack.

(cooly nods) Hello, Ernie.

5
New cards

Ernie- Excuse my hands. Little accident in the kitchen.

Sorry to hear it.

6
New cards

Ernie- I would stay & chat but my wife is bleeding in the kitchen.

Your wife?

7
New cards

Ernie- Cookie. A water pitcher broke, cut her arm. I burned my fingers.

That's a shame.

8
New cards

Ernie- Nothing to worry about. We'll have dinner ready soon. Nice meeting you both.

I wonder why they're not using the Chinese girl?

9
New cards

Cassie- Do I look alright?

Yes. Fine.

10
New cards

Cassie- I feel so frumpy.

God, no. You look beautiful.

11
New cards

Cassie- My hair isn't right, is it? I saw you looking at it in the car.

No, I wasn't.

12
New cards

Cassie- What were you looking at then?

The road, I suppose.

13
New cards

Cassie- I can always tell when you hate what I'm wearing.

I love that dress. I always have.

14
New cards

Cassie- This is the first time I've worn it.

I always have admired your taste is what I meant.

15
New cards

Cassie- It's so hard to please you sometimes.

What did I say?

16
New cards

Cassie- It's what you don't say that really drives me crazy.

What I don't say? ... How can it drive you crazy if I don't say it?

17
New cards

Cassie- I don't know. It's the looks that you give me.

I wasn't giving you any looks.

18
New cards

Cassie- You look at me all the time.

Because you're always asking me to look at you.

19
New cards

Cassie- It would be nice if I didn't have to ask you, wouldn't it?

It would be nice if you didn't need me to look, which would make it unnecessary to ask.

20
New cards

Cassie- I can't ever get any support from you. You've got all the time in the world for everything & everyone else, but I've got to draw blood to get your attention when I walk in a room.

We walked in the room together. It was already done. Cassie, please don't start. We're forty-five minutes late as it is. I don't want to ruin this night for Charlie & Myra.

21
New cards

Cassie- We're forty-five minutes late because you scowled at every dress I tried on.

I didn't scowl, I smiled. You always think my smile looks like a scowl. You think my grin looks like a frown, & my frown looks like a yawn.

22
New cards

Cassie- Don't sneer at me.

It wasn't a sneer. It was a peeve.

23
New cards

Cassie- God, this conversation is so banal. I can't believe any of the things I'm saying. We sound like some dumb TV couple.

Oh, now we're going to get into language, right?

24
New cards

Cassie- No, Mr. Perfect. I will not get into any language. I don't want to risk a scowl, a frown, a yawn, a peeve or a sneer. God forbid I should show a human imperfection, I'd wake up with divorce papers in my hand.

What is this thing lately with divorce? Where does that come from? I don't look at you sometimes because I'm afraid you're thinking you don't like the way I'm looking at you.

25
New cards

Cassie- I don't know what the hell you want from me, Glenn. I really don't.

I don't want anything from you. I mean I would like it to be the way we were before we got to be the way we are.

26
New cards

Cassie- God, you suffocate me sometimes ... I want to go home.

Go home? We just got here. We haven't even seen anyone yet.

27
New cards

Cassie- I don't know how I'm going to get through this night. They all know what's going on. They're your friends. Jesus, and you expect me to behave like nothing's happening.

Nothing is happening. What are you talking about?

28
New cards

Cassie- Don't you lie to me. The whole city knows about you and that cheap little chippy bimbo.

Will you keep it down? Nothing is going on. You're blowing this up out of all proportions. I hardly know the woman. She's on the Democratic Fund Raising Committee. I met her and her husband at two cocktail parties, for god sakes.

29
New cards

Cassie- Two cocktail parties, heh?

Yes! Two cocktail parties.

30
New cards

Cassie- You think I'm stupid?

No.

31
New cards

Cassie- You think I'm blind?

No.

32
New cards

Cassie- You think I don't know what's going on?

Yes, because you don't.

33
New cards

Cassie- I'm going to tell you something, Glenn. Are you listening?

Don't you see my ears perking up?

34
New cards

Cassie- I've known about you and Carole Newman for a year now.

Amazing, since I only met her four months ago. Now I'm asking you to please lower your voice. That butler must be listening to everything.

35
New cards

Cassie- You think I care about a butler and a bleeding cook? My friends know about your bimbo x, what do I care about domestic help?

I don't know what's gotten into you, Cassie. Do my political ambitions bother you? Are you threatened somehow because I'm running for the Senate?

36
New cards

Cassie- State Senate! State Senate! Don't make it sound like we're going to Washington. We're going to Albany. Twenty-three degrees below zero in the middle of winter Albany. You're not Time's Man of the year yet, you understand, honey.

(turning away) Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!

37
New cards

Cassie- What was that?

(Deliberately) oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!

38
New cards

Cassie- Oh, like I'm behaving badly, right? I'm the shrew witch wife who's giving you such a hard time. I'll tell you something, Mr. State Senator. I'm not the only one who knows what's going on. People are talking, kiddo. Trust me.

What do you mean? You haven't said anything to anyone, have you?

39
New cards

Cassie- Oh, is that what you're worried about? Your reputation? Your career? Your place in American history? You know what your place in American history will be? ... A commemorative stamp of you and the bimbo in a motel together.

You are so hyper tonight, Cassie. You're out of control. You've been rubbing your quartz crystal again, haven't you? I told you to throw those damn crystals away. They're dangerous. They're like petrified cocaine. (Cassie looking through her purse) ... Don't take it out, Cassie. Don't rub your crystal at the party. It makes you crazy. (She takes out the crystal, He grabs for it) Put it away. Don't let my friends see what you're doing.

40
New cards

Lenny- Not you, Ken. It's Glenn & Cassie.

(big smile) We're fine. Just great. Hi, Len ... Cassie, it's Len ... Cassie.

41
New cards

Lenny- Did it suddenly freeze up out there?

Freeze up?

42
New cards

Lenny- Isn't that an icicle Cassie has there?

No. It's a quartz crystal.

43
New cards

Lenny- Who let you in?

The butler.

44
New cards

Lenny- The butler? The butler's here?

He's getting us drinks.

45
New cards

Lenny- Is he alone?

No, the cook's with him.

46
New cards

Lenny- Mai Li? God, what a relief. They came back. We didn't have any help here for a while.

Really? Where's Charley & Myra?

47
New cards

Ken- Lenny? ... Lenny, where'd you go?

Ken? Hi. It's Glenn & Cassie.

48
New cards

Ken- Lenny? Is that you? Who's that? Glenn? Is that Glenn?

Yes. And Cassie. I hear you have a cold.

49
New cards

Ken- You think I look old? I haven't been sleeping well lately ... Hi Cassie. Do the others know you're here?

Yes. We just saw Lenny.

50
New cards

Ken- Have you seen Lenny?

Yes. He went into Charley's room.

51
New cards

Ken- I'm sorry. I can't hear anything. A manhole cover blew up next to my ear.

That's terrible.

52
New cards

Ken- I said, "A manhole cover blew up next to my ear."

Yes. I hear you.

53
New cards

Ken- I'm sorry. I can't hear you. Anyone getting you a drink?

Yes, the butler.

54
New cards

Cassie- I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

55
New cards

Chris- Hi Glenn.

Hi. Listen, is anything going on here?

56
New cards

Chris- I don't know ... Who have you seen?

Well, Lenny & Ken for just a second. And the butler and Mai Li.

57
New cards

Claire- ... Where are the boys?

Well, Lenny and Ken are up with Charley and Myra. Myra sounded very excited.

58
New cards

Claire- You spoke to Myra?

No. I heard her talk to Ken and Len.

59
New cards

Claire- You're kidding. Where's Ernie and Cookie.

I just met Ernie. Isn't he the butler?

60
New cards

Chris- Oh. No. Okay. We've got that one cleared up.

Then they're just back from the Orient?

61
New cards

Chris- I imagine so. You're so well informed.

Why is everyone up in Charley's room?

62
New cards

Lenny- Well this is beginning to look like a party.

What were you all watching up there?

63
New cards

Lenny- Up where?

On TV.

64
New cards

Lenny- Yes. The thing on Hitler.

On their tenth anniversary you wanted to watch a special on Hitler?

65
New cards

Ernie- Dinner's coming along. Double Scotch, straight up.

Oh, thanks.

66
New cards

Lenny- I'll be right back.

Listen, I'm sorry. I mistook you for the butler.

67
New cards

Ernie- I kind of thought you did. No, I'm an analyst.

Oh, for pete's sakes. I'm Glenn ... How's your wife doing?

68
New cards

Ernie- The spaghetti's boiling, but the duck is still frozen.

No, I meant her arm.

69
New cards

Ernie- Oh, not too bad. She's a trouper. Her fingers are cramping up a little.

Maybe she ought to see a doctor. Charley has one ten minutes from here, Dr. Dudley.

70
New cards

No, about Lenny's neck.

Lenny's neck?

71
New cards

Ernie- Isn't that incredible? From a can of shaving cream exploding?

I thought it was a manhole cover.

72
New cards

Lenny- I got 'em. I got 'em.

There certainly is some excitement around here.

73
New cards

Ernie- Wait a minute! Glenn Cooper! From Poughkeepsie. You're running for the State Senate.

That's right.

74
New cards

Ernie- I have a good friend who knows you very well.

Really? Who's that?

75
New cards

Claire- Harold Green?

Sure. I know Harold Green. We went to the University of Pennsylvania together. I haven't seen him in years. What's he doing now?

76
New cards

Lenny- He's a proxy new social member who just eats lunches and doesn't play tennis.

Oh. At your club?

77
New cards

Ken- Somebody! Please! I need a drink real bad.

How's your ears, Ken?

78
New cards

Ken- A beer would be fine, thanks.

Maybe Charley has some ear drips. (To Lenny.) Did you see any in the medicine cabinet when you were getting the bandages?

79
New cards

Lenny- No, I didn't think of that.

I'll go up and look. (He starts up the stairs but Lenny & Ken block him)

80
New cards

Ken- I just heard a cat meow. (telephone rings again.) There it is again.

That's the phone, Ken.

81
New cards

Claire- This is going to be good.

Joan? That's Cassie's cousin. Wait I'll get Cassie. I'm sure she'll want to speak to her. (He knocks on the powder room door.) Cassie?

82
New cards

Lenny- Hello, Joanie. It's Lenny. How are you? ... Yes, everybody's here ... Yes, we're having a great time ...

Cassie?

83
New cards

Lenny- Will you speak to her!! (Shoves the phone at Claire)

(Knocking on the powder room door.) Cassie? It's your cousin Joan from Venezuela.

84
New cards

Claire- (Dumping the phone in Chris's lap.) I've done my part. I'm not the Red Cross.

(Knocking on the powder room door.) Cassie? It's Joan and Harry. Don't you want to speak to them?

85
New cards

Chris- (Into phone.) Joan? Hi, sweetheart. How's Venezuela? ... No, it's Chris. You sent a gift? A crystal vase from Steuben's? Gee, I think it's broken. Wait, Myra will tell you about it.

(Still knocking.) Cassie are you alright?

86
New cards

Chris- (Into phone.) Joan? This connection is bad. I think I'm losing you.

(Banging on the bathroom door.) Cassie, will you hurry up! We're losing the connection! Come on, will you!!

87
New cards

Cassie- Who did that? Who banged on the door?

I did. Your cousin Joan is on the phone from Venezuela.

88
New cards

Cassie- (To Glenn.) Don't just stand there, idiot, get my crystal.

Hey, just cool it, Cassie, okay?

89
New cards

Act II

biiiiitch

90
New cards

Ken- (Panicky.) What was that?

It was you, Ken. It was your fork scraping the plate.

91
New cards

Ken- (To Glenn.) You're fading out again, Glenn.

That wasn't me, Ken. That was Chris.

92
New cards

Ken- No. No cigarettes.

(Crossing to Lenny at the love seat.) I still can't get over it. I find the entire story so hard to believe.

93
New cards

Lenny- He finds the story hard to believe. Because we acted our asses off to keep the truth from you.

Myra is gone?

94
New cards

Lenny- Right.

The servants are gone?

95
New cards

Lenny- Right.

Charley shoots himself in the earlobe?

96
New cards

Lenny- Right.

It doesn't make any sense.

97
New cards

Cookie- That's right. You did.

So you weren't really watching Hitler on PBS?

98
New cards

Lenny- No we stopped everything to watch "The Rise & Fall of Adolf Hitler" ... I don't believe you people.

It sounded so real, I believed it.

99
New cards

Ernie- (To Cassie.) What about you, Mrs. Cooper? (To Glenn.) What's her name?

Cassie.

100
New cards

Ernie- What do you mean? What does she mean?

You have to forgive her, she's still very upset about losing her crystal.
