Scenes with Glynnis
6 scenes Glynnis Glynnis Now Daphne, we don't want to make a scene now, do we?
Libby Take your hand off my daughter or you won't get a scene, you'll get a Broadway Musical!
Glynnis Darling, darling, all I'm saying is before we let this hypothetical daughter blow your political career out of the water, we might at least consider doing some checking up on her
Now, checking up for what?
Glynnis I don't know... criminal record, blood type, triple sixes on her scalp
Glynnis, she has a birth certificate, she has my photograph and she has my eyes.
Glynnis What?
An impossibly large bird falling off that wall.
Glynnis Are you hallucinating?
[Waves her hand in front of her face]
Glynnis [takes a bite of her eggs]
These eggs are positively glacial. When I run this house, senile servants will be the first thing to go.
You'd have to get around the old bat somehow. She'd never allow it.
[walking in]
Anyone seen my pruning shears? The old bat seems to have forgotten where she put them.
Alistair [Henry has announced that he is withdrawing from the election.] [To Henry]
Are you out of your mind? I have done everything in my power to get you to this position, and I will not let you throw it all away!
Alistair, you've lied to me, I know you lied to Libby, so forgive me if I don't give a flying fart in space what you think.
Alistair Libby?! I stopped you from ruining your life! I saved your family's reputation! When I found out that that girl was pregnant, I knew I was doing the right thing.
Alistair Of course I knew. It's my job to know.
[Consumed by far more rage than before, Henry punches Alistair in the jaw.] [To her grandfather] [Horrified]
Grandpa! Are you okay? This is horrible.
Alistair [To his granddaughter] [Angrily]
Do shut up!
Glynnis [Stops Henry before he can leave] [To Henry]
Henry, darling! Henry! I know Daddy's been naughty, but what about me?
[Coldly]
You'll survive.
[Glynnis becomes heartbroken and devastated. Henry makes his way outside.]
