Mme. Sebastian
Miss Huberman has been gone a long time.
Alex
Mother, is it necessary for you to always address Alicia as Miss Huberman? I do wish you'd be a little more cordial to her.
Mme. Sebastian
Really, I thought I was behaving very well. Has she been complaining about me? [No answer] I'm grateful.
Alex
You might smile at her.
Mme. Sebastian
Wouldn't it be a little bit too much if we both grinned at her like idiots?
Alex
Please mother. I want to enjoy myself.
Mme. Sebastian
Is it so boring to sit with me alone?
Alex
Not at all, not at all.
