SCENE 4
During scene change, the hosts continue welcoming new guests. The door bell and greetings can be heard.
Henry: (sneezing for 10 times, while Tricia looks at him astonished) It’s… it’s (sneezing)… it’s because of Barbie… Julia’s cat… It’s as if it were rolling about inside my nose!!
Tricia: (worried) Ohh, poor you!… Now I remember when we were at school you were allergic to a million things; your eyes would turn red and your lips would swell up… you often looked like you were being exorcised!
Henry: (looking for something in one of his pockets) It’s terrible, my … wife can’t even use certain creams when she goes to bed, my… (sneezing)… swell up… (more sneezing)… that’s why I always take these with me (taking a pair of cotton pads and putting them in his nostrils)… Aah!! That’s better!
Richard: (from the other side, in humorous way) Oh my God, this takes me back. Henry: portrait of an allergy! Nothing’s changed since school, hey Henry? (to Ann & Gwen ) I say, nothing’s changed with you two either!
Tricia (annoyed): You shouldn’t joke about it, Rick
Richard: Come on I’m only pulling his leg. How the hell did they let you into the police force. Surely ‘sneezing incessantly whilst putting on handcuffs’ would get you into the Guiness of Records.
Henry: (Ironically) You’re so right. It was easy for you wasn’t it When papa gave you the family business.(burlesque) “Daddy… May I work with you when I’m grown up please?”… “Of course, my dear child. Don’t worry about your CV , Daddy will give you a little push in the right direction, once you’ve finished at Oxford”
While Richard and Henry are arguing, Tricia, secretly, grabs one object from the dining-room and she puts it into her bag.
5. Track 5: Le Freak
Ann/Gwen: (They interrupt them suddenly) Wow. I love this song! Yeeeahhh.. Uhhhh… Hey, Guys, less talking and more dancing!
Ann and Gwen start dancing with a very bizarre choreography, humming the tune.
Ann: I’m Britney and you can be, Paris Hilton…
Gwen: Yes!.... It’s a shame that we don’t have the video-camara… (She shouts and she doesn’t stop dancing)
Ann: (She talks to Henry and she grabs his arm, we realize that she is a little bit drunk) Common, guys! The night is young and so are we. Come and dance! (Ann hits Henry’s ass) Wooahh… It’s very firm!... Common, Gwen, Have a feel of Henry’s arse.
Gwen: I must make the most of it before my boyfriend arrives!... Oh- la-la… This arse is not for real!
Richard: (with pride and satisfaction) I’ve had work on it
Trisha: Have you had a bum job?
Ann: You are sooo metrosexual!
