MS LUISE HARLOUX, narrating as she writes: Of course, these days, our mother has given as much of herself to her new love as the theater will take. MS LUISE HARLOUX: of course, even calling that roving band of glorified carnival workers "theater" is an insult to SOMEONE, I'm sure. Those hoodlums get a stooge to buy them drinks and niceties, and she feels as if she actually is making something worthwhile. A GRUBBY CLOWN, who was present for the entire scene and standing center stage, begins to speak. Everyone tries as hard as they can to proceed as if they don't see him. CLOWN: Hey, uh, hey buddy. MS LUISE HARLOUX is clearly upset, but acts as if she doesn't see it MS LUISE HARLOUX: it… ah. (deep breath) The Traveling actors are.. CLOWN: Hey pal, you yeah, the one readin' this. Did you remembeh? Did you build it? MS LUISE HARLOUX, more agitated, almost desperate: Th- THE ACTORS ARE- THE CLOWN cuts her off CLOWN:the stage? It's gonna be ~impoh'tent~ sooOOoonish! A distressed dog yelps in pain or fear from backstage
