Jim Charleston,
Melanie Oglethorpe,
Harriett O'Wesley
David Haygood O'Wesley,
Claudia O'Wesley,
and Frankenstein Kennedy
(The cabin is decorated festively, and songs like �Let�s Hear It for the Boy� and �Uptown Girl� play in the background. Most everyone is dressed in smart summer casual attire. DAVID and HARRIETT O'WESLEY are serving pizza and soft drinks. MELANIE HAMILTON is chatting with them. JIM and CHUCK CHARLESTON are sitting with SMELLEN and CAROSEEN O'WESLEY. FRANKENSTEIN KENNEDY is sitting by himself on one side of the room, and CHARLES OGLETHORPE is by himself on the other. Both are not so smartly dressed as the other partiers.)
MELANIE: (The epitome of gentle kindness.) Oh, Mr. O�Wesley, Mrs. O�Wesley. It was so kind of you to supply the pizza for us tonight.
DAVID: Well, my dear, we are happy to do it.
HARRIETT: Yes, we don�t mind at all. (To David) Do we dear?
MELANIE: Well, it was so very thoughtful of you. And it was such a unique idea: barbecue pizza. I don�t think I�ve ever had barbecue pizza before.
HARRIETT: Well, we�re glad you like the idea. (Seeing Claudia enter) Oh, Claudia. Won�t you say hello to Miss Melanie Oglethorpe. She�s come to visit us all the way from Statesboro.
CLAUDIA: (Coldly) Hello.
HARRIETT: She�s Ashley�s cousin, you know.
CLAUDIA: (Still cold) Yes, I know.
CLAUDIA: (Confronting the CHARLESTON TWINS, who are sitting with her sisters) Why, Jim and Chuck Charleston! How dare you start eating pizza without me! You promised you�d eat pizza with me!
CHUCK: I�m sorry, Miss Claudia. I don�t remember making a promise like that.
JIM: Besides, we�re having more fun eating with your sisters.
CLAUDIA: Well, kick me and tell me I�m a warlock! (Going up to FRANKENSTEIN) Well, hello, Frankenstein Kennedy. I thought you were just wonderful in last night�s skit. Would you like to eat pizza with me?
FRANKENSTEIN: Oh, thanks for the compliment, Miss Claudia. But I�d just as soon sit by myself, if you don�t mind.
CLAUDIA: Fine! Well, good! (Desperately) Get a clue, Frankenstein, and tuck your shirttail in.
(ASHLEY enters and he and MELANIE are immediately glued to each other. CLAUDIA tries her best to get ASHLEY�s attention but fails completely. Finally, she gives up and walks across the room, where she encounters CHARLES. Rolling her eyes, she decides to sit by herself.)
SMELLEN: Claudia certainly is making a fool of herself running after all the male counselors.
CAROSEEN: She has some nerve coming over here flirting with Jim and Chuck, when she knows they belong to us.
SISSY: (Dressed in bright floral beach attire, with a white handkerchief wrapped on her head, she rushes on stage, shaking her arms up and down in an agitated panic.) The Seniors are comin�! The Seniors are comin�! (She runs off.)
(There is general groaning all around. CHARLES who has been moping in the corner, finally speaks up.)
CHARLES: (To DAVID) Is it true, Mr. O�Wesley? Is it true that the Seniors are coming?
DAVID: (Fatherly) I hate to say it, Charles Oglethorpe, but the Seniors are indeed coming. I wanted to keep it from your sister Melanie as long as possible. She�s so gentle and frail. But now that the word is out, I must admit that it�s completely true. The worst is upon us. The Seniors are indeed coming. (Everyone overhears.)
CLAUDIA: Oh, no! How terrible!
SMELLEN: Well, there go the pizza parties.
JIM: Yep. No more gum, either. Everybody get rid of your gum.
CAROSEEN: And get those nametags on. We can�t let the Seniors see us without our nametags.
CHUCK: No more visiting cabins housing members of the opposite sex.
(At CHUCK�s remark, some counselors are visibly disappointed, while others shrug with indifference.)
FRANKENSTEIN: And remember not to leave the grounds of Epworth Oaks. Don�t forget the boundaries.
