LUD:
"Oh hell, if you're so damn right all the time, how come we have
a daughter we don't understand too good, and
a pink-haired punk granddaughter, got the
manners of a terrorist. Leaves dirty finger-prints on the cheese,
wears something makes the garage door flap up. Old man Sanders stops
me out here says he saw somethin' odd lookin'
in the yard. Worried we might have poltergeists.
I had to say, "No, that wasn't no poltergeist, that
was my grand-daughter. She glows
in the dark 'cause her necklace
is a reflective flea collar." How
in the hell do you think that makes me feel? "
MARIE:
(Surprised at news, almost in tears)
"Well, Lud! Why didn't you just go on and let
him think it was poltergeists? Go in there and just jerk
the plug out of the socket."
LUD:
(Tries knob)
"Agnus, Agnus, you open up this
door."
(Tries knob)
"Locked!"
(Pushes against door)
"Damn! My bursitis."
(Gets idea)
"Where's that fuse box? I'll fix her wagon."
(LUD opens box, unscrewing
fuse. The lights go out,
the music contimues)
MARIE:
(In dark)
"Well, she's using her
transistor, dolthead. Turn the
light back on."
LUD:
"I can't find the damn fuse in the dark!"
(DOOR
OPEN, SLAM)
MARIE:
(To
AGNUS crossing room in dark.)
"Agnus, Agnus, I demand
to know where you are going at this time of night looking like that."
AGNUS:
(Screams)
"You wouldn't want to know!"
(Door slams)
LUD: (Screwing
in fuse, runs to window and looks at garage door)
"Shh!... Yeah. Yeah, there it went. Flapped
right up!"
