SCENE 7

Interior, Kitchen. Blanche is at the sink, Sophia is sitting at the Kitchen table. Rose and Dorothy enter from the Living room door.

Dorothy
Blanche, what exactly makes you think he's your man?

Sophia
Who?

Blanche
Maybe the fact that I found him first.

Sophia
Who?

Rose
What about the fact that he dumped you for me?

All four girls in the Kitchen

Sophia
Who?

Dorothy
Laszlo, ma.

Sophia
Who's Laszlo?

Rose
A Hungarian artist we've all been posing nude for.

Sophia
In the future, a simple "none of your business Sophia" will suffice.

Sophia gets up and exits through the Living Room door. Dorothy takes a seat at the table.
Sophia Asking Who?

Dorothy
Tell me honestly Blanche, do you have any reason to believe that Laszlo might be interested in you?

Blanche
Well, just the fact that on numerous occasions, he has referred to me as his greatest artistic inspiration ever, bar none.

Dorothy
Me too.

Rose
Me too.

Dorothy
Oh, let's face it girls, we have no idea which one of us Laszlo wants to use.

Blanche
Well, I think it's obvious Dorothy the man is an artist, he has taste. He cannot help but pick the woman with the most grace, the most style, the most femininity.
Blanche, Rose and Dorothy in the Kitchen

Blanche sits down at the table causing a hidden whoopee cushion to erupt with flatulent noise. She struggles to maintain her composure while Dorothy and Rose look away. Eventually Rose sits and joins them at the table.

Rose
I wonder if he knows which one of us he wants. I mean, he told me that I had something that Blanche didn't have and he probably told Dorothy she had something that I don't. Maybe now he's back to Blanche.

Blanche
I think he's been very unfair. We really ought to all stop going and he'd have no sculpture.

Dorothy
It would serve him right.

Rose
Yes it would.

Blanche
Well all right then girls, let's make a pact. None of us will go back. And we'll seal it by both of you giving me your keys and I'll keep all three of them safe in my hope chest.

Dorothy
Then how do we know that you and your hope chest won't keep going?
Everybody reacts to Blanche's whoopie cushion mishap

Dorothy reaches for the canister of peanut brittle Sophia left behind. She opens it and snakes shoot out, thus raising the tension of the scene that much more.

Rose
There's only one thing to do... Go to Laszlo and make him decide once and for all who he wants.

Dorothy
Fine with me.

Blanche
Fine with me, let's go.

They all get up and head towards the Living Room door. As Blanche and Rose exit, Sophia enters through the same door and heads toward the table.
Sophia's Peanut Brittle Prank Surprises Everyone

Sophia
Where's everybody going?

Dorothy
We'll be back in an hour. Oh ma, why don't you ah, just sit right over here and read your magazine, okay?

Dorothy walks Sophia over to the chair with the whoopee cushion and waits for the eruption of flatulent noise.
Dorothy Directs Sophia to the Whoopie Chair

Sophia
Oh, okay.

Sophia sits down but nothing happens. This causes Dorothy to take a close look at the chair. Sophia notices this and declares...

Don't try to outsmart me Dorothy. I've got the mind of a fox and the butt muscles of Barishnokov.

A frustrated Dorothy exits through the Living Room door. Fade on Sophia laughing and reading her magazine. Cut to exterior, Laszlo's studio.
