talking)

putting her hand on Mr. Wright’s torso) Stop it she is in the kitchen…
Linda- And what if I was not in the kitchen?
Francis- Oh I was just telling him he has stain on the
shirt, I think it is wine…
George- Linda it is not what you think…
Linda- (Pointing with
a gun at Mrs. Hale and Mr. Wright) What is what I think?, I saw you guys
early having fun kissing each other on the dinner table, showing passion and
then you tell me it is not what I think? Then people ask me why I am like this,
why am I always criticizing everyone, why I believe I am the best on everything
and why I am always pretending to be happy, if it was not because of you I
would have been still living on that old farm in Texas raising some pigs and
feeding the chickens, I have so much to
thank you and now that we are rich we can afford everything, but guess what
there is always a witch in the story and that witch results to be my best
friend, no, no, no, no, no, I am not going to let you take my husband a way he
is my property and him and his money are mine, and you and your stupid little
husband come visit me but then I learned that you were the one that wanted to
come and the one that planned the trip, so I started to suspect about something
and then I find out that my husband,(Pointing
at Mr. Wright) yeah, you, he was not in a convention for business men in Kansas
he was staying in Texas visiting you, so
I did send you an invitation to the cocktail party because I knew you were
coming for “Vacation” so I planned to poison you with the ice tea but then the
ghetto Cuban old woman from next door started screaming for water so you brought
her your ice tea, your very special drink. So her son is probably dead by now
and they will blame me for his dead, but wait you gave him the tea I can say
that you wanted to poison me to stay with my husband and that it was your entire
plan to come and get rid of me.
George- That will not happen…
Linda- What do you mean that will not happen?
George- I am tired of this I really miss my family I miss my
town and I wan to go back and take my old job.
Linda- What?
George- I love Francis, and I want to get the divorce
Linda- You will never get rid of me, never ever, I love you, we are perfect and we
are rich and we are powerful we don’t have to go back to Texas to that old
dusty town of yours, I want to stay here I want to live like the queen I am.
Francis- Blah. Blah. Blah, girl please this is not a fairy
tale this is the real world.
Linda- You shut up or I will shoot you. How can you do this
to me George how can we end up like this are you going to destroy or marriage
like this?
George- Yes I want to end this
Linda- But I am pregnant…
George- What?
Francis- What the hell… how many months?
Linda- Mmm like I don’t know… 5?
George- Linda stop it, you are not pregnant.
