from that chair over there.

- Okay-

- just let me take your coat.

Jean, I thought you

were in Cleveland

with your new husband?

- I was.

But I've left him.

- You didn't love him?

- Oh I loved him.

But, I couldn't stay away.

I had to come back.

- By taking a mate, you have

transgressed against pan.

Since you have come back to us,

I'm sure he'll open

his arms to you.

- I'll try to be worthy.

- I had intended making Ruth

the communicant of the

quarter moon tonight.

However, since you

have come back to us...

- Yeah.

- I think the honor

should fall to you.

~ oh!

Goodness!

I don't know what to say.

- Don't say anything.

When the time comes,

just show your love for pan.

- Oh thank you.

Thank you.

- Since you are to

be the communicant

of the quarter moon tonight,

you will be allowed

a second draft

from the wine of delphi.

Priestesses of pan,

bring the communicant

of the quarter moon to me.

Roses from the garden of pan.

Forbearance priestesses of pan.

Anoint the communicant

with the breath of roses.

Untie her.

Prepare yourselves for

the conversation with pan.

Arise, we are ready.

Restrain her.

Take her to the altar of pan.

I'm sorry, only the

priestesses of pan

are allowed beyond

these curtains.

- Oh I'll go.

- You may stay.

I wish you would.

After this conversation

I'd like to discuss

with you what might

be done about your

aunt and your cousin.

She is fine.

The pleasure of

her communication

was just too much for her.

- Carla, Carla wait up.

Are you mad at me?

- No.

- Then what's wrong?

You avoided me all

day in the shop.

- Last night enid,

what happened

behind that curtain?

- I can't tell you that Carla.

I'd break my vows if I did.

- What kind of beast

did you have back there?

- No beast.

Behind that curtain

was the most divine,

the most appealing...

- and those roses.

Enid what happens

when they touch you?

- Ecstasy.

Ecstasy like you've

neverexpeflenced.

Never.

- You're out of your mind.

All of you.

- Another one.

Carla, what am I

going to do about you?

You've been with us

for the past six years.

Ever since your

mother passed away.

And I promised her I'd try

to keep you out of trouble.

- I'm not in any trouble.

- This isn't trouble?

Can't you see he's just

like all the rest of them?

Can't you see this is

all he wants from you?

- I'd better go.

- Carla, why can't you try

to find a nice

young man like Jay?

- Maybe I'm just

not interested in a

nice young man like

Tracey's boyfriend.

- I'm sorry.

I mean the way mama

treated you last night

in front of that boy.

- Yeah that's another

guy I'll never see again.

- Why can't you find
