Mrs. Parker : It's about the flower arranging
committee.
Gloria : Oh, uhm, well, you'll have to talk to him,
not to me.
Mrs. Parker : Cynthia Martin has been
doing her level best
to undermine my leadership. I believe she's planning
a coup.
Gloria : A coup?
Mrs. Parker : Behind my
back, yes! If you don't mind, I just
need to sit. Behind my back and, and behind the
Reverend's back as well. It's a disgrace. I would
even go as far as
saying, it is amoral. And knowing what I know now, I
don't see how I can keep quiet.
Holly : Jesus Christ, I knew it. She knows!
Mrs. Parker : And when the Reverend finds out, he will
be mortified, I can assure you. I'm going to tell
him, Mrs Goodfellow.
Holly : Grace. Grace, no.
Mrs. Parker : No matter how much damage is done, he
must be told.
Gloria : Well, I'm sure Walter will
have a quiet word with
Cynthia Martin, and it will be all sorted out.
Mrs. Parker : But it's not just Mrs Martin. That’s the
peers. They've all got their sordid little agendas.
In sixty years, Mrs. Goodfellow, I have never known
anything like it. And in my condition, too. It's
really affecting my heart, you know? I really do
wish it didn't have to come to this, but it does.
Your husband must be told.
Grace : That's quite enough, Mrs Parker. Out of the
way, please dear.
Gloria : What are you doing?
Grace : I will not have this family torn apart after
all we've been through.
Gloria : What?
Holly : She knows, Mum! We have to. She was going to
tell dad.
Gloria : About the committee, the flower arranging
committee! This has nothing to do with anything
else... Mrs Parker?
Grace : Oh, dear.
Gloria : Mrs Parker, can you hear me?
Holly : Shit, is she...
Grace : Yes, I believe she is.
Holly : Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Grace : She said herself she had a dickey heart.
Gloria : I think you might have a dickey heart, if
someone came at
you with a frying pan.
Grace : Well, it was a simple misunderstanding, it
could happen to anybody.
Gloria : This cannot go on, Mother! I’ve had it
enough.
Grace : I understand you're upset. |
