SCENE 1
( "Underscore 1" begins, p. 18)
SUSANNA:
That was wonderful! Lisa, you did it! You got everyone
here. Thank you. This is such a special night.
LISA:
(crosses to Susanna, they hug) I'm so glad you asked us. Is
she here yet?
SUSANNA:
I hope not. She usually doesn't get here for at least another
half hour.
DAN:
How are you feeling?
SUSANNA: Tired. My treatment on Tuesday completely zapped me. So
pray I have the energy to get through tonight, okay?
LISA:
Oh, believe me, we are.
(Another choir member, Chris, is looking in their tip bucket)
CHRIS:
Look at this! We made 11 smackaroos so far! And it's all
for you!
SUSANNA:
For me?! (laughing) Thank you! I will spend it on something
special. Or maybe (looking at the restaurant) on someone
special. Thank you. (she puts the money in her coat pocket
and checks the time on her phone) Ooh, I should go in.
(Susanna enters the diner, takes off her coat, hangs it up, begins
to tie on her apron. Mr. Mattiello crosses to her.)
