You think I don’t notice everyone’s acting funny? Three people want to get me drinks. Chris wants me to hear this funny story. Lenny wants to get us all outside. Everyone’s creating a diversion. Why? I don’t know. Am I right?

Q

Claire: What happened?

A

Cookie dropped her ice bad and slipped against the stove. The hot platter was about to fall on her, so I lifted it up. The I dropped it on the table and it broke the water pitcher and the glass shattered on her arm and she’s bleeding like hell. I got a dish towel on her wrist and I propped her up against a cabinet. But I really need some bandages for her arm and some ointment for my fingers. I never saw anything happen so fast.

39
Q

Lenny: I was hoping there was more to the story.

A

I’m sorry. Claire. Did you ask for a drink?

40
Q

Claire: Listen, you have other things to think about right now.

A

Right.

41
Q

Lenny: No, Ken. Put the towels back on your ears. Claire?… Chris?… Where are you?… Ah, screw it. I’m beginning to feel like my car.

A

Lenny? You got those bandages?

Nobody getting the door?… these kids are up to something, I know it.

Hello.

42
Q

Glenn: Good evening.

A

Good evening. I don’t know where everyone is.

43
Q

Cassie: You mean we’re the first?

A

No. Everyone’s here. They’re just… spread out a little.

44
Q

Cassie: Perrier with lime, no ice.

A

Sure. Fine. I don’t believe we’ve met. I’m Ernie Cusack.

45
Q

Glenn: Hello, Ernie.

A

Excuse my hands. Little accident in the kitchen.

46
Q

Glenn: Sorry to hear it.

A

I would stay and chat but my wife is bleeding in the kitchen.

47
Q

Glenn: Your wife?

A

Cookie. A water pitcher broke, cut her arm. I burned my fingers.

48
Q

Glenn: That’s a shame.

A

Nothing to worry about. We’ll have dinner ready soon. Nice meeting you both.

49
Q

Lenny: Hitler as a boy. A whole new slant on him.

A

Dinners coming along. Double Scotch, straight up.

50
Q

Glenn: Oh, thanks.

A

Lenny, have you got the bandages?

51
Q

Glenn: Listen, I’m sorry. I mistook your for the butler.

A

I kind of thought you did. No, I’m an analyst.

52
Q

Glenn: Oh, for Pete sake. I’m Glenn…. How’s your wife doing?

A

The spaghetti’s boiling, but the duck is still frozen.

53
Q

Glenn: No, I meant her arm.

A

Oh, not too bad. She’s a trouper. Her fingers are cramping up a little.

54
Q

Chris: Oh. We called him. He’s busy.

A

You called about Cookie’s arm?

55
Q

Chris: And then the doctor called back, we told him about Ken’s ears.

A

Isn’t that incredible? From a can of shaving cream exploding?

56
Q

Claire: It was. But the pressure from the manhole cover made the shaving cream explode.

A

I didn’t hear that.

57
Q

Lenny: Your kidding. I wish I did his taxes.

A

Wait a minute! Glenn Cooper! From Poughkeepsie. You’re running for State Senate.

58
Q

Glenn: That’s right.

A

I have a good friend who knows you well.

59
Q

Glenn: Really? Who’s that?

A

Harold Green.

60
Q

Lenny: Ernie, Cookie’s waiting in the emergency room.

A

Right. There’s your wife’s Perrier. Nice to meet you, Glenn. Thought I was the butler.

61
Q

Ken: Hello?… Hello?

A

I’ll get Myra and Charley.

62
Q

Claire, Chris, Lenny: Right!

A

Ernie: Why didn’t I see it? People running up and down the stairs, no one answering the door, cans of shaving cream exploding. I’m the staff of Bellevue Hospital, how could I believe such a story? You never let on.

63
Q

Cookie: Maybe he’s still hungry. YOU WANT SECONDS KENNY?

A

No, no. He wants to say something. Be quiet a minute, everyone… What is it, Ken?

64
Q

Ken: I can’t take it anymore… The pressure is killing me. I’m sorry, but I have to do this. Myra isn’t here! The servants aren’t here! Charley’s upstairs and he shot himself through the ear lobe! Maybe it was attempted suicide, maybe it wasn’t, I don’t know. I don’t care. I’m Just glad it’s over with.

A

It’s a right, Ken. We know. Lenny told us.

65
Q

Ken: Who told you?

A

Lenny told us.

66
Q

Ken: Glenn told you?

A

No. Lenny. LENNY. LENNY TOLD US.

67
Q

Lenny: Oh, finish your damn dinner and leave us alone, will you?

A

All right, take it easy, Lenny. He’s been under a big strain.

68
Q

Glenn: It sounded so real, I believed it.

A

What about you, Mrs. Cooper? What’s her name?

69
Q

Glenn: Cassie.

A

What about you, Cassie? Did you think something strange was going on?

70
Q

Cassie: Yes. For six months now.

A

What do you mean? What does she mean?

71
Q

Claire: Have you got them enrolled in a good school yet?

A

Oh, come on, Claire. If the crystal works for her, if it gives her a sense of comfort and pleasure, what’s wrong with it?

72
Q

Lenny: If the planet is gone, don’t the crystals go with it?

A

Lenny, don’t.

73
Q

Cookie: I can unscrew the toilet myself. I’ve done it before.

A

I don’t think it’s the time or place to fix toilets, sugar.

74
Q

Glenn: Hear hear.

A

Bravissima.

75
Q

Ken: Doesn’t anybody… doesn’t anybody…?

A

Quiet, everybody. Quiet…. what is it, Ken? Doesn’t anybody what?

76
Q

Ken: What?

A

You’re right. Oh my God, he’s right. We’ve all been so busy eating and explaining to each other, we forgot about Charley.

77
Q

Cookie: Right here. Right around here.

A

We’ll find them, honey.

78
Q

Cookie: They’re in my hand. I forgot I had them. I’m so stupid. Forgive me, everybody, I’m sorry… so, what were we saying?

A

Glenn, I’m a little worried about your wife. Do you think she’s alright?

79
Q

Claire: Excuse me. I’m going up to get Charley’s gun.

A

Cassie, everyone here is your friend. Why don’t you and I go out on the terrace and have a nice, quiet talk?

80
Q

Cookie: Charley begins with a C.

A

What is this, anagrams, for pete sakes? Let him talk on the phone.

81
Q

Ken: My ears popped! They just opened up! My God, it sounds like a subway in here.

A

This is remarkable, but I’m having the first headache I’ve ever had in my life.

82
Q

Chris: Oh, sit on it? Will you, honey.

A

If I had you all in my group, I would never need another group again.

83
Q

Claire: The man is a German shepherd.

A

I don’t think it’s your business to listen, Ken.

84
Q

Claire: Of course. Charley’s not dumb. He puts two and two together, confronts Myra with it, she confesses, Charley kicks her out of the house, tells the servants to go home and tried to blow his brains out.

A

You don’t know that. That’s an assumption on your part. That is a very, very dangerous statement to make. Don’t you agree with me, Len?

85
Q

Lenny: No

A

Why not?

86
Q

Lenny: I don’t feel like it.

A

Listen, I think we have to bring this thing to a head. I’m going to go back up and speak to Charley and find out what’s what.

87
Q

Claire: So what you’re saying is, he didn’t know we know anything.

A

Well, he’s got to know that we all haven’t seen Myra. And that there’s no servants here.

88
Q

Ken: What I’m trying to say is, as long as Charley doesn’t think the rest know…

A

… why tell him now? I see your point. We’ve got to keep up the subterfuge. If we confront him with everyone knowing about the gunshot, he could go to pieces. So until he tells us his own shirt himself, we have to pretend we don’t know anything.

89
Q

Ken: I should be the one who goes up. I tell Charley that everyone is here. And if he asks me does everyone know what’s happened.

A

You say, “No.”

90
Q

Ken: Allrightalleiglhdkehsmhahsh

A

I’ve got it. I’ve got it, here’s what we do. Charley’s going to want to know what Ken told us. Ken tells Charley that he told us that Charley had a benign watt removed from his ear this morning, but he’s okay. Then suddenly Myra’s mother broke her hip this afternoon and that Myra took her to the hospital and is going to stay there the night. The help, thinking the party was off, left the food and went home. It all happened so fast, they forgot to call us. We all got here. We understood and decided to cook the dinner ourselves…. that’s the story.

91
Q

Claire: I would t believe the mother breaking her hip.

A

Why not?

92
Q

Claire: She dies six years ago

A

Then her father broke his hip.

93
Q

Claire: Her father lives in California.

A

Does she have a relative in the city?

94
Q

Chris: She had a cousin Florence.

A

Then Florence broke her hip.
