第二幕

WELLER 出现大声打招呼

FONSIA开环大笑 ，边笑边说以下

FONSIA：ah you become crazy.

WELLER：Well, I must admit, that's a very appealing thought at times, but unfortunately this time I've done nothing more bizarre --- select a book from the bottom shelf.

FONSIA： for a minute I thought you lost your mind?

WELLER：No, although this place inspires a certain loneliness.

FONSIA：This is practically the first time I seen you to talk to all week .

WELLER：since I met my Waterloo at GIN.

FONSIA：That fun?

WELLER：Well, perhaps you'll grab me a rematch this afternoon.

FONSIA：I thought too!

FONSIA笑

WELLER：God, listen to them in there. Every visitor's day is bent them around here.

FONSIA：Thank God they don't come out here.

WELLER：Oh, a couple of them stumble out here every once in a while. You know, a few weeks ago, Gladys May's daughter and son in law brought her out here on the board.

FONSIA：It's about a tribe.

WELLER：They didn't have the children with them. No, but they talk so loud, like the old lady's deaf. Hell, there's nothing wrong with her hearing when she's out here alone. She tells me don't to make so much noise. Shuffling the cards.

FONSIA：she ...

WELLER：they brought a sandwich out here to her.。。tried to get her to eat it,

FONSIA：She won't eat a bite. I don't know what keeps her alive

WELLER：They had a coloring book too, they wanted her to occupy herself.Coloring ...

FONSIA：oh A poor soul, what she says to the window all day color will be something for her to do.

WELLER：Oh, she'd have no part of it. Then they started talking about me as though I wasn't even there, like I was a piece of furniture or something. At one point, the daughter said say that nice man amuses himself playing cards. I couldn't believe it. And I looked at her, and then in that loud voice, she said, don't we, sir?

FONSIA：Well, what did you say?

WELLER：Oh, I ,I didn't answer. I mean, I was dumbfounded. I mean, here, this woman defining my life in one sentence, or at least she thinks she is, and I'm supposed to sit there and agree with her,See, that nice man amuses himself playing card.

FONSIA：No, Well, I don't think she meant it that way. She was probably just trying to show  that you ,there are things to do besides stare out of the window.

WELLER：Well, why use me as a model retiree, for Christ's sake?

FONSIA：Well, she wasn't talking about your life, my LORD, now look at all the things you've done.

WELLER：No, but she was talking about my life the way it is now, you know I'm still alive.damn it.

FONSIA： Well, I suppose to tell you .

WELLER：still... I don't know, maybe I am a little jumpy. I don't know how to act with people anymore. Unsure of myself. Rustic, there's no one around here to have a decent conversation with anyway. I mean, you're the only one I talked to.

FONSIA：I know, you think there'd be somebody you'd like to talk to in a place that has as many people as they want.

WELLER：Half of them are catatonic, for Christ's sake. Sometimes the ones who do talk make you appreciate the ones who don't.

FONSIA：They complaining. Did you ever hear of so many aches and pains and all your life? FONSIA开始模仿别人喊到 my Back is killing me.

WELLER猜到她在模仿的人，大笑到说

WELLER：I Know her！ 

WELLER开始模仿别人

WELLER：Oh, I can hardly see from here.

WELLER：Well, what are you gonna do? I mean, is either that or listen to the help talk. You like a child

FONSIA笑

FONSIA：You know, I never take my medicine. No, I take our medicine.

WELLER：I say to hell with them. To hell with all of them.

FONSIA：That's what I say too.

WELLER：FONSIA Dorsey, your father would roll over in his grave.

FONSIA：I didn't say it,you said.

WELLER：you know what Ms Dorothy, it's almost 3 o'clock and we haven't amused ourselves yet.

FONSIA：My goodness.I think I'm saying...

WELLER：...I will amuse you immediately. At our age, that can only mean one thing. I'll get the cards.

FONSIA笑，WELLER示意再一起打牌
