Paul : Hello.
Katherine : It's me.
Paul : Hey!
Operator : Collect
from Katherine Watson. Will you accept?
Paul : Yeah; sure; of course I will. Hey, is
everything okay?
Katherine : Yeah.
Paul : Tough
, huh? Well, how are the classes? Snobs, right? I hate
to say I told you so.
Katherine : You don't have to. I can't really talk
right now. I'll write you tonight.
Nancy Abbey : So, you got the fella?
Katherine : He's... He's there. I'm here.
Nancy : Long distance. Torture. I know. Come. Come in
and sit down. When Lenny left for the South Pacific, it
nearly broke my heart. We wrote every day until... He
was a great man.
Katherine : I'm sorry.
Nancy : It was a hundred years ago. I'm
babbling.
Nancy : I love Lucy. Even if she is a communist.
Amanda Armstrong : The only thing red about Lucy is
her hair. And even that's fake. Desi said it. Winchell
wrote it. Amanda Armstrong. I see you survived.
Katherine : Katherine Watson. Just barely.
Nancy : Oh, good. You've met. Katherine's taken the
third bedroom. How about a little dinner before
What's my line ?
Amanda : How about a little drink?
Nancy : Her companion died in May.
Katherine : Companion?
Nancy : You know, the companion. Josephine Burns. Taught
biology here for 30 years.
Nancy : You'll love it here, Katherine. You'll see.
Katherine : I already do. I... honestly, it's
beautiful. It's perfect; really.
Amanda : Don't fool yourself. They have claws
underneath their white gloves.
Katherine : Who?
Amanda : The alumnae; their offspring, the faculty.
You
name it.
Watch out for yourself. Too much independence frightens
them.
Nancy : Will you please stop?
Amanda : Oh, a word of advice. Don't let those girls
know that they got to you.
Katherine : They didn't.
Amanda : Good for you. You almost convinced me. |
