Cynthia:
I could not believe it, Cathy, I really couldn't. When he got down on one knee, like a real gentlemen, and asked her..... What? Mm-hm, of course he had a rose. But Jody was there, just staring through the door - just staring, so angry, you could see it in his eyes. I'm glad they're happy, though, at least.... I agree. We need more couples like them nowadays....
Hm? No, Salina was in California when the whole thing happened - you know, at the church, when the priest walked in.... yeah, she doesn't know about it..... It's a pity. I can just see her taking control of the whole situation, can't you? That's just what she does. That's just what everyone needs right now. A little control, a little order.... Yes......Yes!..... I know....
Look, Cath - I'll ring you tomorrow, I've got to get dinner on. Okay. Alright. Bye-bye.
(Puts down phone, takes deep breath, looks around room.)
Pasta. Sauce. Meatballs.
(She putters around, mutterring.)
Such a shame.... What a shame.
(Putting on a pot to boil.)
Every time he tells her. Every time!
... Linda! Sweetie!
Linda (shouting):
What? It's only five-thirty.
Cynthia:
Early dinner tonight, sweetie. I've got to catch the marathon at 6.
Linda:
Marathon?
Cynthia:
Jody might break up the wedding, dear. I simply can't miss it.
Linda (dryly):
Right. Marathon.
Cynthia:
Can you do the dishes for me tonight? Or - no, it's okay, I'll do it during the commercials.
Linda:
Mom.
Cynthia:
Although sometimes they're shortened when there's a marathon - got to squeeze it all in there! So maybe you could stay there and call me back in when it -
Lind
