THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED

Amy

Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I got to go back and wait on table! What’ll all those girls say when they see me? And I ain’t even got the price of my ticket!

Joe

We can fix that.

Amy

I’ll get a lawyer, I will! I wish to God I hadn’t never heard of no wops!

Joe

Don’t start cryin’. [He tries to comfort, her.]

Amy

You take your hands off me and get my things.

Joe

All right. . . .

Amy picks up the few belongings she has left about the room. She stands a moment holding them, looking about her, at the four walls, at the country outside.
