MR. MATTIELLO: Dangerous? It is criminal mischief! I'm calling the police! (Alex, Barrett and Tyler break free of the crowd and run toward the front door of the diner. Dan tries to catch his son but misses. The teens run in front of the diner, exiting stage left. Dan chases them, running out of the diner and also exiting stage left.) DAN: (shouting after him) Alex! (exits) SUSANNA: (closing her eyes) No, no, no. This night is completely falling apart. Please, Lord. I need You. (Mr. Mattiello crosses to the counter to get his phone. Mrs. Shepherd enters the stage angrily and marches through the entrance into the diner, right up to the table where she was sitting earlier and where Susanna is sitting now. ( music begins to "Underscore 3," p. 95) MRS. SHEPHERD: (to Susanna) You really liked my silk scarf, didn't you? SUSANNA: What? MRS. SHEPHERD: You said it was beautiful. And then you stole it! SUSANNA: (horrified) Mrs. Shepherd! No! You've got this all wrong! MRS. SHEPHERD: Get up! You're hiding it! SUSANNA: (standing, holding out her scarf) I'm not hiding anything. Your scarf is right here. (handing it to her) MRS. SHEPHERD: (taking the scarf) I should have known better than to trust a common waitress. SUSANNA: Please, Mrs. Shepherd, you have to believe me. You just forgot it, and I was holding it for you. MRS. SHEPHERD: I don't believe you. (Mr. Mattiello approaches) MR. MATTIELLO: What's the problem here? MRS. SHEPHERD: Your waitress stole my silk scarf. Z < 8 36 93 For Preview Only
