BELLOS, holding out a cushion to Jeremy
You have a great evening, Jeremy.
JEREMY

BELLOS, taking a deep breath
Oh! You Are So''' - very welcome!
Jeremy and Judith moves forward, but Jeremy comes back before the 3rd spectator has a chance to take his or her glass of wine.
JEREMY
Oh - Bellos - once again: thank you.
BELLOS, being as brilliant as he can
Oh! You Are So''' - very welcome!
JUDITH
Come here, you idiot.
Judith and Jeremy move to their place.
JEREMY
You know... there's a point where less is more, no longer; it just completely stops -
JUDITH
Shut...
JEREMY
Beyond: more is more...
BELLOS, holding out a glass of wine, and a cushion, to the 3rd spectator
Here's your wine [Sir\Mrs.] - and... your cushion - you have a great evening...
---> [3rd SPECTATOR]
Thank you.
BELLOS
Oh! You Are So''' - very welcome!
As the third spectator moves to his\her assigned place, the
lighting fades out, and the atmosphere gets darker. The pure
pathos performance is about to start, and we hear some music...
After a moment, the lighting turns mainly in pink, and from left to
right, we can see Aqua Garden, Léon Horizon and Apple O'Hara,
as they take place. There's a cornucopia near Apple O'Hara.
JEREMY
Thank you honey - this is beautiful.
JUDITH
Shut... it's Maybellinetm...
The music stops.
BELLOS- Oh! You Are So''' - very welcome!
