[Referring to peeling an orange]
Please. Please, can you peel it like a snake?
Young Leda
What?
Martha
Please, can you peel it like a snake? Please?
Bianca
Can you peel it all?
Young Leda
I can.
Bianca
Don't let anything break.
Young Leda
No, I won't let anything break.
Martha
Do you think that's a land or a sea monster? A sea snake. Yeah.
Bianca
Don't let it break. Peel it like a snake. Don't let it break.
Martha
That's quite a long one.
Bianca
It's longer than ever. [Leda hands peel to Martha] Hiss. Can it curl itself up? [Martha dangles and jiggles orange peel] Little curly.

Bianca
[Leda is putting on her jacket]
Mama, where are you going? Where are you going, Mummy? Mama? Are you coming back? When are you coming back? [Repeatedly] Mama? Where are you going? Mama! [Leda goes out door and shuts it]
