Everyone sits bewildered.
WHITE:
You say you are used to being a hostess as part of your husband's work?
PEACOCK:
Yes, it's an integral part of your life when you are the wife of a. . .
oh, but then I forgot we're not supposed to say who we really are,
though heavens to Betsy, I don't know why.
MUSTARD:
Don't you.
GREEN:
I know who you are.
SCARLET:
Aren't you going to tell us?
PEACOCK:
(removes glasses nervously)
How do you know who I am?
GREEN:
I work in Washington, too.
PLUM:
Oh, so you're a politician's wife.
PEACOCK:
Yes, I-I am.
MUSTARD:
Well, come on, then. Who's your husband?
Suddenly, Wadsworth opens the door from the kitchen.
PEACOCK:
(to Mrs. White)
So, what does your husband do?
WHITE:
(almost cutting her off)
Nothing.
PEACOCK:
Nothing?
WHITE:
Well, he . . . just . . . lies around on his back all day.
SCARLET:
Sounds like hard work to me.
Yvette, in the kitchen, opens the partition suddenly.
The noise coincides with a crash of thunder.
Mr. Green, jumpy as ever, spills his drink again, this time on Miss Scarlet.
GREEN:
I'm . . . sorry. I'm afraid I'm a little accident-prone.
He starts to wipe off her upper chest.
SCARLET:
Ah--watch it.
He stops.
YVETTE:
Excuse moi.
PEACOCK:
Mmm! This is one of my favorite recipes!
WADSWORTH:
I know, madam.
PEACOCK:
So, what do you do in Washington, D.C., Mr. Green?
No answer.
PEACOCK:
Come on, what do you do? I mean, how are we to get
acquainted if we don't say anything about ourselves?
SCARLET:
(angrily)
Perhaps he doesn't want to get acquainted with you.
PEACOCK:
(bothered)
Well, I'm sure I don't know, but if I wasn't trying to keep the conversation
going, then we would just be sitting here in an embarrassed silence.
PLUM:
Are you afraid of silence, Mrs. Peacock?
PEACOCK:
Yes! What? No, why?
PLUM:
Oh, it just seems to me that you seem to suffer from
what we call pressure of speech.
SCARLET:
"We"? Who's "we"? Are you a shrink?
PLUM:
I do know a little bit about psychological medicine, yes.
WHITE:
Are you a doctor?
PLUM:
I am, but I don't practice.
SCARLET:
Practice makes perfect. Ha. I think most men need a little
practice, don't you, Mrs. Peacock?
Mrs. Peacock shrugs, very uncomfortable.
WHITE:
So what do you do, Professor?
PLUM:
I work for UNO, the United Nations Organization.
MUSTARD:
Another politician. Jesus!
PLUM:
No, I work for a branch of UNO. W.H.O., the World Health Organization.
PEACOCK:
Well, what is your area of special concern?
