(Vicky,
60s, still looks good, is putting on make-up at a dressing table. Anita, also in 60s, also still looking good, comes to door, looks in, shakes head)
ANITA - Amazing!
VICKY - (Primping) Glad you finally acknowledge that!
ANITA- It’s not a
compliment. I mean……Amazing as in…
amazing, you pulled
off the perfect
crime!
VICKY- Me? I recall you were the one who pulled the prank!
You were the one always pulling pranks!
ANITA- (Sputtering) But you
knew what the prank was! You knew I was going to …loosen her up,
spike her punch, add alcohol ….but you
knew that the alcohol and that medication she took would be deadly, and it was.
VICKY- What are you talking
about? I don't remember you telling me -
ANITA- (Horrified) You were the one
who ....suggested it to me!
VICKY- Now you're just talking
crazy.......pranks are something every cast does.....and if there's
a cast member who's allergic to peanuts, no one pranks that......who
could have known she was going to have a severe allergic reaction.....
ANITA- You would....because
you'd been there before....all those years ago....
VICKY- years ago? I can barely
remember my lines! Let alone ANITA0 minutes ago! You are barking up the wrong tree!And I do mean barking because you
are a bitch, dear. And that's no joke!
ANITA- Insulting me will not change
the truth!
VICKY – Oh, but insulting you so much
fun!
ANITA - I'll prove it! I don't
know how, but I will!
VICKY- You just want a
scapegoat, because you were the one who did the whole thing - and now you have to pay. And since you are probably
recording this, I will add…(sinister) what
if what you did was NOT a prank - what if.....you meant to kill?
ANITA- Stop that! Don\t
say something so horrible! You know I would never kill anyone!
VICKY- Do I know that?
Looks like you did kill…by accident of course….and oh how well you cried at the inquest!
, and because it was a "prank" you got off easy...what
was it a suspended sentence?.....
ANITA- Got off? I have guilt
that will last me until I die!
VICKY- An added bonus!
ANITA- (Sputtering) I'll
figure out something ......maybe something that will look
like you've had
an accident!
VICKY- Do you really think
it's wise to say this on your tape? And by the way, weren't you supposed
to have told me you were recording?
ANITA- You'll see...Two can play at
this game!
VICKY- Really? So you
think you're playing? I'd say...you already lost.....
(Anita storms out. Vicky smiles and keeps putting on her make-up. End of scene)
