[Before Jim comes]

Marybeth: Everyone, I’ve invited a young man named Jim to dinner with us.

Marybeth: May you’re exaggerating! May—Uh!
Marybeth: Here he comes! Shhh!
[Jim enters]
Marybeth: Good Evening! [Smiling]

May: Rich Girl? That’s it! Grace you’re a genius!
Grace: It took you long enough!
May: If Jim is friends with a rich family, then that means he’s rich!
Grace If Marybeth marries Jim we could be rich! I think we’ve got something here.
May: Come on, we’ve got work to do!

[Marybeth and Diana go off stage]
