Waiting Woman #2
Why dont she answer her bell?
Waiting Woman #1
Sign says “Closed.” Maybe she closed for good. Maybe she quit the business.
Waiting Woman #2
I dont blame her. Mrs. Smith! Hey! Hey in there! Hey! Hey!
First Lady enters fresh from her encounter with Monster. She is heavily veiled and holds her stomach.
Waiting Woman #1
Look.
Waiting Woman #2
Well. A rich lady. Lah-dee-dah.
Waiting Woman #1

Waiting Woman #2

No. Not at all.
(Rest)
One seed is as good as another. And when the husband resembles the lover, he wont be none the wiser.
Waiting Woman #1
Smart thinking.
Waiting Woman #2
Real real smart thinking.
First Lady sings “My Little Enemy”:
First Lady
They say Fidelity
Is the most important thing
When yr married.
But its such a pricey luxury.
When yr up against the wall
Yll take a poke from some poor slob.
The child Im growing will be my salvation.
Who knows, he may grow up to rule the nation.
And my husband, blind with happiness,
Will never guess
The enemy in his army.
First Lady
Thank you. Here. Spend this for me.
She gives them money and goes.
Waiting Woman #1
Rich folk.
Waiting Woman #2
Yeah.
