MED. ('IX)SE SHOT SnOOT
INO TOWARD STAIRS
Corliss Is still sitting on the stairs,
Mrs. Archer's voice is not too
steady, and Corliss is torn with
the desire to put her mother out
of her misery.
CORLISS: (pathetically)
Mother do you hato nie?
Pieuse don't hale me.
Suddenly, impulsively, Mrs.
Archer runs up the stairs and, sit
ting next to Corliss, puts her arms
around her daughter. She is
weeping gently.
MRS. ARCHER: (tenderly) Oh,
darling don't be silly. Of
course I don't.
She holds Corliss a little closer
and weeps some more.
CORLISS: (unhappily) Oh,
Mum please don't feel so aw
ful. It oh, Mum, please don't
cry! (in genuine anguish) Oh,
If only I could explainl
MRS. ARCHER: (very low
voice) I'm so ashamed, Corliss.
I feel It must be my fault.
CORLISS: Oh, Mum, no no.
MRS. ARCHERl (unhappily)
On, darling, we'd dreamed so
often of the day you'd get mar

Suddenly a glint comes into Cor
liss' eye. That word "married"
has obviously suggested some
thing. CORLISS: But Mom we are
married!
MRS. ARCHER: (stunned)
What?
CORLISS: (she knows she's on
the right track here) Well, nat
urally, Mum. I mean, golly,
surely you don't think nat
urally we got married.
MRS. ARCHER: (a ray of hope)
But, Corliss
CORLISS: (shocked tones)
Why, Mum, how could you pos
sibly think we weren't married?
MRS. ARCHER: But, darling,
why didn't you say so when

MEDIUM SHOT
Corliss suddenly hears the loud
slam of the front door, off screen.
CORLISS: (alarmed) Golly
that's Daddy!
She scuttles up the stairs like a
rabbit and is out of sight. Mrs,
Archer rushes to the door of the
porch to meet her husband.
MRS. ARCHER: Harry! Corliss
just told me Die truth! They're
married!
MR., ARCHER: (astounded)
