WOODLY:
I'm glad you brought your vacuum
cleaner.
SHUTTLE:
Is that a fact?
WOODLY:
That maid just quit. The place is
a mess. You can start in the
master bedroom.
PENELOPE:
Please--
SHUTTLE:
He's not anybody to tell somebody
else what to do in a master bedroom.
PENELOPE:
I'll get ready, Herb. I didn't
expect you this soon.
(to all)
Please--won't everybody be nice to
everybody else while I'm gone?
All freeze, except for PENELOPE, who comes forward to
address the audience. Lights on set fade as spotlight comes
on.
PENELOPE:
Most men shunned me--even when I
nearly swooned for want of love. I
might as well have been girdled in
a chastity belt. My chastity belt
was not made of iron and chains and
chickenwire, but of Harold's lethal
reputation.
SHUTTLE comes into the spotlight.
SHUTTLE:
I keep having this nightmare--that
he catches us.
PENELOPE:
Doing what?
SHUTTLE:
He'd kill me. He'd be right to
kill me, too--the kind of guy he is.
PENELOPE:
Or was. We haven't done anything
wrong, you know.
SHUTTLE:
He'd assume we had.
PENELOPE:
That's something I suppose.
SHUTTLE:
All through the day I'm so
confident. That's why I'm such a
good salesman, you know? I have
confidence, and I look like I have
confidence, and that gives other
people confidence. People laugh
sometimes when they find out I'm a
vacuum cleaner salesman. They stop
laughing, though, when they find
out I made forty-three thousand
dollars last year. I've got six
other salesmen working under me,
and what they all plug into is my
confidence. That's what charges
them up.
PENELOPE:
I'm glad.
SHUTTLE:
I was captain of the wrestling team
at Lehigh University.
