| DONNA The problem isn�t that she talks too much, it�s that she talks about the same thing all the time. ALL The angel. DONNA That stupid angel story. GWEN You don�t believe her? DONNA Not particularly. LOUISE Oh, I do. Except that �the angel� was really a guy named �Angelo� and her saint of a husband, Joe bought the story. DONNA That Joe was a sweet man. But you�d think he never existed with the way Mary talks about that illegitimate son of hers. GWEN She said the angel�s name was �Gabriel.� LOUISE I know. It�s all she ever talks about. She should quit living in the past and get down here and play cards. DONNA I knew you�d get antsy if you dealt too soon. GWEN Maybe she�s talking to her boy. Maybe we should go get her �cause we�ll miss dinner if she doesn�t stop talking to him. LOUISE Talking to him, talking about him, either way I�m looking at her cards. GWEN If you look, you�d better do a re-deal, because that�s not fair. DONNA Please, do a re-deal. I have a handful of crap here. LOUISE Me too. Aw, geez. It�s like God wants her to win everything! (LOUISE gathers the cards and begins to shuffle.) DONNA I don�t know. I don�t trust that boy of hers. Any man with prettier hair than me just ain�t right. GWEN I hate to be cruel, Donna, but isn�t that a wig you�re�Ooo! A jack! LOUISE Give me that! (LOUISE gathers the cards and shuffles again.) |
