in the land of No Little Sisters ('cause mine is ridiculously annoying)
this is from the musical 'Guys and Dolls'. Adalaine and Nathan have been planning to get married for 14 years, but Adalaine has already told her mother that they're....well, just read.
ADALAINE: Well, Nathan, I've...I've told my mother that we're married already.
NATHAN: You told your mother we were married? Why would you do that?
ADALAINE: Well,I had too, Nathan. She wouldn't understand if we hadn't {gotten married}. People don't stay engaged for 14 years in Rhode Island. They all get married.
NATHAN: Then why is it such a small state?
ADALAINE: And then, after about two years......
NATHAN: WHAT after about two years?
ADALAINE: We had a baby.
NATHAN: You told your mother we had a BABY?!?
(Adalaine nods, Nathan shakes his head)
NATHAN: what type baby was it?
ADALAINE: It was a boy. I named him after you, Nathan.
NATHAN: (smiling) Aw, thank you. And, u, were is Nathan JR now?
ADALAINE: He's at boarding school. I told Mother he won his football game last Saturday.
NATHAN: I shoulda bet on it.
ADALAINE: That's not all Nathan...
NATHAN: (chuckling) Just don't tell me Nathan JR has a little sister.
ADALAINE: I had too. All those years...."
NATHAN: Just give me the grand total.
ADALAINE: Five.
NATHAN: FIVE??? What am I supposed to with five kids? Trade them to the Yankees?
LATER ON IN THE PLAY......
ADALAINE: I got a letter from my mother asking A LOT of questions. Here, she wrote you one, too.
NATHAN: (reading letter) Dear Son Nathan, I am so happy to know that you are taking good care of adalaine, the five kids and the one that's on the way. (looks at adalaine)
ADALAINE: (rubbing tummy) Mother wanted me to come visit her, sooo....
NATHAN: (continuing to read) I picture you every morning getting up at six and walking down the street to be the A&P assitant manager. (looks at Adalaine) I'm not even the manager?
ADALAINE: I was going to promote you for Christmas.
NATHAN: Don't you know I can't support six kids on an A&P salary.
sorry, that's all i can remember. the ppl playing these parts do such a good job, and it's actually a whole lot funnier when u see it. 2nites the last nite, so i m really sad =-(
