You're just gonna sit here?

Rayette

Yes.

Okay. I hope no one hits on you.

Rayette

I hope they do.

Rayette

That was real good, wasn't it? I finally did it!

Great. You throw the big Z's for 19 frames, and then you throw a strike on the last ball of a losing game. Wonderful. Just wonderful. [Turns around to bowlers at next lane] Isn't that wonderful, ladies?

Are you talking to us?

Wonderful.

Hey, follow that truck. They know the best places to stop.

Rayette

That's an old maid's tale.

Bullshit! Truck drivers are the only ones that know the best places to stop on the road.

Hold on to this. [gestures with her middle finger]

If you think you can talk to me like that --

Shut up, all of ya!

[to Carl]

I had a baby kitty-cat once. It was a little fluffy thing. Bobby gave it to me. Remember, Bobby? [Samia stops angrily in mid-sentence] The little pussy cat you gave me.

Yeah.

Rayette

It had two little white front paws. You know, I was crazy after her. We left her at some friends house and she got squashed flatter than a tortilla right outside their mobile home.

Samia

There. Do you see what I mean? The choice of words juxtaposed with the image of a fluffy kitten. The enchantment of words: "squashed," "flat" et cetera, et cetera.

Rayette

She was.

Samia

Perhaps, but it was just what I was trying to point out.

Don't sit there pointing at her.

Samia

I beg your pardon.

I said don't point at her, you creep!

Samia

But I was just telling about the—

Where the hell do you get the ass to tell anybody anything about class or who the hell's got it or what she typifies? You shouldn't even be in the same room with her, you pompous celibate!

Samia

Carl

Just calm down now, Bobby.

You're totally full of shit. You're all full of shit!
