Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Page #3

- Come on in.

- We made it.

- You must be our little guests.

Just ignore old sourpuss here.

Come on in, kids.

Just hand your coat and stuff

to old sourpuss here.

- Well, perhaps we shouldn't have come.

- Yes, yes, it is late and l...

Late? Are you kidding? Just throw your

stuff down anyplace and come on in.

Anywhere. Furniture, floor. Doesn't make

any difference around this place.

- I told you we shouldn't have come.

- I said, come on in. Now, come on.

- Oh, dear.

- Oh, dear.

Look, muck-mouth, you cut that out.

Martha. Martha's a devil with language.

She really is.

Kids, sit down.

Isn't this lovely?

- Oh, yes, indeed. Very handsome.

- Oh, well, thank you.

Who did the painting?

That? Oh, that's by...

Some Greek with a mustache

Martha attacked one night in a...

It's got a...

- Quiet intensity?

- Well, no, a...

Well, then a certain noisy,

relaxed quality maybe?

- No, what I meant was...

- A quietly noisy relaxed intensity?

Dear, you're being joshed.

I'm aware of that.

I'm sorry. What it is, actually...

...it's a pictorial representation

of the order of Martha's mind.

Fix the kids a drink, George.

What would you like to drink?

Honey...

- What would you like?

- Oh, I don't know, dear.

A little brandy maybe.

Never mix, never worry.

Brandy? Just brandy.

Simple, simple.

What about you...?

- Bourbon on the rocks, if you don't mind.

- Mind? I don't mind. Don't think I mind.

Martha, rubbing alcohol for you?

Sure. Never mix, never worry.

Never mix, never worry.

Hey. Hey.

Who 's afraid of Virginia...?

Virginia Woolf?

Wasn't that funny?

- That was so funny, huh?

- Yes, it was.

I thought I'd bust a gut. I really did.

George didn't think it was funny at all.

Martha thinks that unless you, as she

puts it, bust a gut, you're not amused.

Unless you carry on like a hyena,

you're not having fun.

Well, I certainly had fun.

It was a wonderful party.

- Yes, it certainly was.

- And your father, oh, he is so wonderful.

- Yes, yes, he is.

- Yeah.

- Oh, I tell you.

- He's quite a guy, isn't he?

- Quite a guy.

- You better believe it.

- Oh, he's a marvelous man.

- I'm not trying to tear him down.

- He's a god. We all know that.

- You lay off my father.

Yes, love. I mean, when you've had

as many faculty parties as I have...

- I rather appreciated it.

- You what?

I mean aside from enjoying it,

having fun, I appreciated it.

Meeting everyone,

getting introduced around.

The way he had us put up out at the inn

till our place is ready.

- Why, when I was teaching in Kansas...

- You won't believe it...

...but we had to make our way

all by ourselves. Isn't that right, dear?

- Why, yes...

- We had to make our own way.
