[last lines] Eva Lovelace:
Shut the door Nellie. Nellie Navarre:
[shuts the door and walks over to Eva]
Are you ready to dress for the street now my dear? Eva Lovelace:
No not yet Nellie, I just want to be alone with you. [grabs Nellie's hand] Eva Lovelace:
Success seems so empty. Nellie Navarre:
Yes my dear. There's only one thing in life that means anything; I found that out. Eva Lovelace:
Joseph told me just now that he loved me; and I begged him not to say it, and now I wish I hadn't because I'm lonely - lonely now in the moment I've lived for and dreamed for. Nellie Navarre:
I wish I'd listened years ago when someone told me he loved me. Eva Lovelace:
Nellie, I can make him happy. Nellie Navarre:
Of course you can my dear. Eva Lovelace:
And he could make me happy too. Nellie Navarre:
Certainly he can. Eva Lovelace:
Nellie, they've all been trying to frighten me. They've been trying to frighten me into being sensible but they can't do it - not now, not yet. They've got to let me be as foolish as I want to be. I, I want to ride through the park; I want to, I want to have a white Omón coat; and I'll buy you a beautiful present; and Mr. Hedges, I'll buy Mr. Hedges a little house; and I'll have rooms full of white orchids; and they've got to tell me that I'm much more wonderful than anyone else. Because Nellie, Nellie I'm not afraid; I'm not afraid of being just a morning glory; I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid, why should I be afraid? I'm not afraid!
