       (Older woman comes in, dressed in black, with a sunhat)

So it's the funeral of my father, my father you understand, who I took care of for ten years, who I am crying for, and she comes up to me and says, (Imitates) 'Oh, Sandra, I am going to find you a nice husband!  I promised your father that if it's the last thing I do, I'm going to find you a nice husband!'

What the hell am I supposed to say?  Thank you?  Sorry my eyes are so puffy and swollen so you can't take a good photo of me, but my father just died and we are now putting him into the ground, and this is what you want to tell me?

That you want to match me up with someone - who is this magical person?

I am 65 - and I JUST FINISHED TAKING CARE OF A PERSON - I DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING CARE OF ANYONE BUT ME!

And by the way, who will this person be?  A handsome guy, in his 40s, so he can take care of me as I get older?  A rich guy, with no family to bother me, and no previous marriages, and no children running around?  Is that the guy?

I don't think so.....no, my instinct is that this guy will be what, 71?  81?  91?  And he will want... A NURSE!  And best of all, he will want a nurse he can bang!

So....when you talk to him about me, please let him know.....I don't cook, I don't clean, and I am past banging!  

    (Turns to leave, stops, looks back)

Oh, and by the way, tell him I  that I also like big diamonds! 

     (She exits, laughing on a day which is usually solemn)
