VALERIE
(Rising to grab her cup)
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. You know how much sugar! You know how much everything... You are so...
MRS. DUMPLING
Valerie!
VALERIE
He's so...
JOSEF
Take it easy, Val.
VALERIE
You're all so... AHHH!
(She strikes a dramatic pose and freezes)
MRS. DUMPLING
(Assisting her) My dainty dear! Drink your tea, lotus petal. There's my little angel of light. Let the strength flow back in. There she is. Yes, my darling rainbow delight. Yes.
JOSEF
All right, Val?
MRS. DUMPLING
It's all better, darling dumpling. It's all better now.

THE MAN
Let's see. You buy a hat-one. Two-you go home to show it off to Mr. and Mrs. Dumpling who are reading a newspaper. Three-you play a game when your friend Josef arrives after which you are recipients of good fortune and sit around attempting dubious records of a disreputable nature. Is that it?
JOSEF
That's not it.
MR. DUMPLING
No
MRS. DUMPLING
No
JOSEF
No, sir.
MRS. DUMPLING
Not a word of it.
MR. DUMPLING
No
MRS. DUMPLING
Tell him, Mr. Dumpling
MR. DUMPLING
I will tell him.
MRS. DUMPLING
Yes, dear. You do that.
MR. DUMPLING
Shall I?
JOSEF
You tell him, sir.
MR. DUMPLING
Shall I?
MRS. DUMPLING
Yes
VALERIE
(Still frozen but exasperated)
Tell him!
