ROY:  Why are you standing here? There are sixty-eight people down there drinking my liquor. If there's going to be a wedding, let's have a wedding. Come on! Didn't you hear what I said? There's another couple waiting to use the Baroque Room, let's go!
NORMA:  Roy, could you sit down a minute? I want to talk to you about something.
ROY: You want to talk now? You had twenty-one years to talk while she was growing up. I'll talk to you when they're in Bermuda. Can we please have a wedding?
NORMA: We can't have a wedding until you and I have a talk.
ROY: Are you crazy? While you and I are talking here, there are four musicians playing downstairs for seventy dollars an hour. I'll talk to you later when we're dancing. Come on, get Mimsey and let's go.
NORMA: That's what I want to talk to you about.
ROY: Mimsey?
NORMA: Sit down. You're not going to like this.
ROY: Is she sick?
NORMA: She's not sick…exactly.
ROY: What do you mean she's not sick?
NORMA: She's not sick.
ROY: Then let's have a wedding! Mimsey, there's two hundred dollars worth of cocktail hotdogs getting cold downstairs…Mimsey? Where's Mimsey?
NORMA: Promise you're not going to blame me.
ROY: Blame you for what? What did you do?
NORMA: I didn't do anything. But I don't want to be blamed for it.
ROY: What's going on here? Are you going to tell me where Mimsey is?
NORMA: Are you going to take an oath you're not going to blame me?
ROY: I take it! I take it! Now where the hell is she?
NORMA: She's locked herself in the bathroom. She's not coming out, and she's not getting married.
ROY: No kidding, where is she?
NORMA: He doesn't believe me. I'll kill myself.
ROY: Mimsey? Mimsey? Ok, what did you say to her?
NORMA: I knew it! I knew you'd blame me. You took an oath. God will punish you.
ROY: I'm not blaming you. I just want to know what stupid thing you said to her that made her do this.
NORMA: I didn't say a word. I was putting on my lipstick, she was in the bathroom, I heard the door go click, it was locked, and my whole life was over. What do you want from me?
