BONNIE Well, I've never been so humiliated in my whole life! .

RENO I've been walking the deck.

BONNIE I wanted to talk to you about auditioning for one of your angels.

RENO Yeh.

BONNIE Good luck!

MRS. HARCOURT

MRS. HARCOURT Hope, I'm tired of this chasing around the boat. Let's find the deck steward and get our chairs placed.

HOPE But Mother, I don't want to sit down.

MRS. HARCOURT Well, I should think you'd want to rest, staying up on deck with Evelyn till seven o'clock this morning. I told you, dear, that under the proper conditions you'd find Evelyn romantic.

HOPE Now, Mother, you go and get our deck chairs. I want to explore the boat some more. I'll find you.

EVELYN (Entering) Ah, there you are. Jolly bracing this morning, what?

MRS. HARCOURT I don't know how you young people do it...after staying up all night...

EVELYN Oh, did you stay up all night? Shame, shame, shame on you, you, you!

HOPE Mother, have a chair for Evelyn placed next to ours.

MRS. HARCOURT Now, Evelyn, you mustn't keep Hope up all night every night. You know it was after seven when you brought her to the state room this morning.

EVELYN I say, really?

MRS. HARCOURT Still I mustn't forget that I was in love once too - with your father ... the old buzzard!

CAPTAIN I hope you're enjoying the trip, Mrs. Harcourt.

MRS. HARCOURT I was never so bored in my life.

CAPTAIN But, Mrs. Harcourt, we're making twenty~four knots.

MRS. HARCOURT I'm not interested in rope tricks. It's the dullest passenger list I've even seen. No one of importance. No celebrities on board.

CAPTAIN There's Reno Sweeney...

MRS. HARCOURT She's not famous; she's notorious!

CAPTAIN Some like them better that way. (Captain Exits)

MRS. HARCOURT Oh, dear me, I forgot to ask the captain about the sea gulls.

HOPE The sea gulls?

MRS. HARCOURT Sailor, where do the seagulls go at night?

BILLY The seagulls? Why to the Gullery, ma'm.

MRS. HARCOURT The Gullery. Where is the Gullery?

BILLY It's forward, ma'am, on E deck. The Gullery mate will be glad to show it to you.

MRS. HARCOURT Come Hope, darling, we must go and see it.
