Bill enters left
finds paper on chair
picks it up
giggle, giggle
puts it back
wave of snicker
guffaw, guffaw
does a double-take
picks it up again
rustle, rustle
guffaw, strangled
Nancy enters right
“How come you’re home so early”
“No real reason, just wanted to see you”
“Oh, that’ll be the day”
brief roar like wind
one guffaw, then another
(this is really jolly stuff)
“But I mean it, honey”
“Oh, sure you do”
titter, titter
guffaw, guffaw
Fred enters right
looks at Bill and Nancy
makes Bob Hope grimace at camera
roaring laughter
storm faucet opened wide
abruptly shut again
“What’ya doing home, Bill?”
“He just wanted to see me,” explains Nancy
cackle, chuckle, guffaw, snicker, titter, giggle, snort
all at once, like trees
“But he has nothing on,” says the child
“We know,” we say
