Bride and Doom
| SADIE | So this is where you've got to. This is not time to put your feet up. We've got innocents to corrupt. |
| MAUD | Innocents? That's a laugh. Anyway, I'm tired. |
| SADIE | But we've only just started. We haven't got into the swing of things yet. |
| MAUD | Well, my swing has swung. I hate these special events. (She moves to the counter.) You always get some clever clogs creeping up behind you to make you jump. |
| STEPHEN stands up behind the counter as she speaks, and pokes her with a false hand. |
|
| MAUD | Stephen! Stop messing about. |
| STEPHEN | It was only a joke. |
| SADIE | What are you doing behind there? |
| STEPHEN | Looking for my hand. |
| SADIE | (Pointing to the false feet on the counter) I see you've already put your foot in it. |
| MAUD | Feet. |
| SADIE | What? |
| MAUD | There's a pair. Not one. |
| SADIE | Who's been hitting you with the serious stick then? |
