(/NSTRUMENTAL MUS/C PLAY/NG)

Tell him, my friend, who

Monsieur Beaucaire really is.

Permit me the honor

of presenting to you,

His Royal Highness,

the Duc d`Orleans...

(MUSlC STOPS)

(SlGHS) I hate Monday.

What can you do

on a Monday?

You`ve been getting

awfully moody lately.

What`s the matter,

have you quarreled

with Ronald?

We never quarrel.

Duc d`Orleans,

Duc de Chartres, Duc...

You ate two eggs, too?

No. No, Jenny,

I ate coffee.

Has Ronald finished

that novel of his yet?

Mmm-mmm.

Give him time.

He`s only been working

on it for two years.

How many years is it since

you`ve been prancing around

that Little Theatre of yours?

I propose to learn the

fundamentals of my work

before going into it

professionally.

Well, it seems to me that

accent`s about the only thing

you brought back from Harvard.

Can`t you speak English

when you`re home

with just us folks?

We won`t tell your public.

I shall speak exactly

as I please. It sounds

well. It sounds very well.

It sounds lousy.

(TELEPHONE RlNGlNG)

NELLlE:
l`ll answer it.

Never mind.

That`s for me.

I`m expecting

a phone call.

What`s all the riot about?

So am l.

Oh, wait a minute,

will you?

It`s the wrong number.

I made up my mind.

I`m going away.

With Ed`s clothes?

Ed`s clothes!

My clothes. Look at them.

All I need is my

own toothbrush.

(SlGHS) Is it Kitty again?

No.

You know, honey,

when it comes to Kitty,

you all is what we call

down East here a schlemiel.

Kitty had nothing

to do with it.

I`m just fed up

with everything!

I hate being a law clerk.

What`s the sense of working

if you don`t need the money?

Hate the family!

Hate you!

Well, well, well!

I don`t care if l

never see any of you again.

(SCOFFS) You`ll break

your old mammy`s heart!

Don`t pull that one on me.

I`m not going to lead

a negative life just

because I have a mother.

Women are becoming mothers

all over the world.

Yeah. Yeah,

somebody ought to

put a stop to it.

From now on,

l`m going to be absolutely

independent of everybody.

That reminds me,

l`ve got to ask Mother

for some money. Hey, Ma!

(TELEPHONE RlNGlNG)

Hello.

Oh, hello, Kitty, darling!

I just want you to

know that my feelings

are terribly hurt,

the way you talked to

me a little while ago.

Well, sweetheart,

you know I didn`t mean to.

Nevertheless,

l`ve a good mind

never to forgive you.

Say, who are you

talking to, anyway?

(SHUSHES)

It`s Mother.

What was that?

It was only Mother.

(HORSE NElGHlNG)

What was that noise?

(CHUCKLlNG NERVOUSLY)

It`s Mother`s asthma.

I`ll meet you at lunch.

Listen, I love you.

I love you. I love you!

Gee, Doug,

she`s the swellest
