Sharon McKendrick [outside the dance with her roommates]
Serves you right. Stay out of our tent from now on.
You vicious little wretch! [Susan slaps Sharon and Sharon slaps her back]

Miss Inch
Congratulations. In the history of our camp, that was the most infamous, the most revolting, the most disgusting display of hooliganism we have ever had.
Miss Grunecker
Brawling like hooligans in front of our guests.
Miss Inch
And worst of all, two sisters who should be setting a good example.
We're not sisters!
Sharon McKendrick I've never seen HER before in my life.
Miss Inch
They are! Aren't they?
Miss Grunecker
No ma'am. Just look-alikes.
Miss Inch
An amazing resemblance.
How old are you?
Sharon McKendrick Thirteen.
So am I. I can't wait till I'm eighteen and get my own car and stay out dancing till midnight.
Sharon McKendrick I'll be fourteen November 12th.
No kiddin'? That's my birthday too.
Sharon McKendrick Isn't that peculiar? November 12th?
Um huh. Funny, isn't it?
[Gets up off the bed]
Uh oh. This one's full. [Looking around] Hey! What do ya know? It's stopped raining.
Sharon McKendrick [Both outside sitting on the step]
What is your mother like?
I can't remember her.
Sharon McKendrick Did she die?
Nope. Busted up with Dad when I was young. But she was fabulous. Absolutely fabulous!
Sharon McKendrick How do you know?
There used to be a picture of her on Daddy's desk. But once he caught me looking at it and it's never been around since. Hey! You wanna come to the commissary and get a popsicle with me?
Sharon McKendrick Can you only think about your stomach at a time like this?
At a time like what?
Sharon McKendrick Don't you feel it? Don't you know what's happening? Don't you find it peculiar that we both look so much alike, and have the same birthday?
It's just one of those things. Isn't it?
Sharon McKendrick Will you come inside a minute? Please?
Sharon McKendrick [Back inside]
Mother always says I'm psychic. You know, that I can sense things when something odd is going to happen. I always get goosebumps. Look.
So what?
[Sharon reveals the picture of her mother]
I don't understand. What are you doing with her picture?
Sharon McKendrick It's my mother.
But it's my mother too.
You want to meet Father. And I'm just dying to know Mother. Well, what if... Oh my gosh! It might be so scary that we might be able to pull it off.
Sharon McKendrick Pull what off?
Switch places!
Sharon McKendrick Switch?
We can do it. We're twins, aren't we? Oh, I'm want to know Mother! Look, now I'M getting goosebumps!
Sharon McKendrick Me, too. You know something? There's more to it than just switching places. I believe fate brought us together.
How so?
Sharon McKendrick If we switched, sooner or later, they'd have to unswitch us.
Mother would have to bring me to California to unmix us.
Sharon McKendrick And they'd have to meet again.
Face-to-face. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Sharon McKendrick Exactly.
Let's go to work!
Vicky Robinson
You're a big girl now, Susan. You're old enough to understand that wonderful, delicate mystery that happens sometimes between a man and a woman.
Sharon McKendrick I know what wonderful, delicate mystery Daddy sees in you. And I can't say I blame him there, either. You're very nicely put together.
Vicky Robinson
Your father underestimates you, I think.
Sharon McKendrick I'm sure you won't, will you, Vicky?
Vicky Robinson
Susan, dear, you've had him to yourself all this time, and I can understand that suddenly to have another woman around, well, it's a tremendous intrusion. But all my life, it seemed, I've hoped and waited for someone like him: someone gentle and mature, rough-edged, but quick to laugh, someone understanding and wise. All the things that I've come to love and cherish in him.
Sharon McKendrick Well, that's very refreshing.
Vicky Robinson
Why, dear?
Sharon McKendrick Most girls just run after Daddy because he's so wealthy.
Vicky Robinson
[angrily]
Are you inferring that I'd marry your father for his money?
Sharon McKendrick If the shoe fits, wear it!
Vicky Robinson
Look, pet. I've tried to be friendly, but I'm going to marry your father, so you get used to the idea!
Sharon McKendrick You wanna bet?
Vicky Robinson
Oh, honey, don't you play with the big girls. You'll be in way over your head.
Sharon McKendrick [coming down the stairs]
Mother! Oh, I'm so glad you came! [Sharon and Maggie hug] Oh! You look wonderful! What'd you do to yourself?
Do you like it?
Sharon McKendrick Oh, I love it!
Oh darling! [Maggie hugs Sharon again] Oh! Finally! Both of you together at last. What do you think of each other?
Sharon McKendrick Fine.
We love each other!
Sharon McKendrick Hi, Sue.
Hi.
I cut it, Mother.
You know, I like it.
Sharon McKendrick Oh, and I love yours, Mother.
Where's your father?
Sharon McKendrick Oh, he's out somewhere on a horse.
Sharon McKendrick [to Susan]
Didn't you tell her? [Susan shakes her head, no]
Tell me what?
Well ...
Sharon McKendrick Dad's getting married.
Well. When is all this taking place?
Verbena
Saturday, supposedly. [Maggie looks away, anxiously]
Sharon McKendrick She just sort of infiltrated, Mother. And before you knew it, Dad was hooked.
Verbena
If you ask me, Mr. Evers is slipping into his second childhood.
Oh your father is old enough to know what he's doing. Shall we go upstairs and get unpacked? I'm just dying to get into a hot shower after that long plane trip.
[Chatter as they all move up the stairs]
