how old is the laundress?
:19:09
about 45
:19:11
young 45?
:19:12
I don't know.
she goes barefoot
:19:15
she's rather plumb
:19:18
a little soapy
:19:19
but a very interesting moustache
:19:21
very charming
but not my type
:19:24
moustache or no moustache,
I need a clean shirt for tomorrow
:19:42
end of act one - curtain
:19:45
don't read it,
I know it by heart
:19:49
you remember when Bassington has found out
that Edgar was the man on the fire escape
:19:52
alright, shoot
:19:54
pause.
Edgar smiles maddeningly
:19:57
Bassington plays with his beard
in order to cover his emotion
:20:00
Edgar speaks:
:20:02
I'm afraid Bassington that you are right,
but nonetheless boring
:20:06
Bassington studies his fingernails like a man of the world,
crosses to left
:20:10
Edgar continues strumming his mandolin
:20:12
Bassington resuming with his beard
:20:15
I have only one thing to say to you
:20:17
immorality may be fun,
but it's not fun enough
:20:21
to take the place of 100% virtue
and three square meals a day
:20:32
what's the matter?
:20:33
so, double-crossing me, eh?
:20:35
what are you fuzzing about?
:20:38
you didn't write that speech alone,
and I know where you got it
:20:40
don't try to lie out of it!
:20:43
he was in here, Mr Plunkett
:20:45
and it isn't difficult to guess
why he was here either
:20:50
so, you've been making love to Gilda
:20:52
I know, 100% virtue
and three square meals a day
