[Marcia is in her room combing her hair when Carol comes in to speak to her.]
Marcia?
Yes, Mother?
I sent the final program to the printers this afternoon.
I wish Harold’s name wasn’t in it, he was awful at rehearsal today.
Well Marcia, I’m afraid your name is not going to be in it.
What do you mean?
I was at the rehearsal this afternoon.
You were?
Afterwards Mrs. Goodwin and I talked. And we have decided that for the good of the play — and for your own good — she is going to have to replace you.
Replace me?
Yes. Your understudy is going to be Juliet.
Tina!? But I’m better than her!
Marcia? It has nothing to do with you being better. It’s your attitude.
What do you mean my attitude?
Well, you’ve become rude to your friends and siblings! You’ve become impossible to live with!
[flustered, in between tears, and before crying] Mom...! That is so unfair!
Marcia, I’m not blaming you. It’s not all your fault. We encouraged you. But you let it go to your head.
[on the verge of tears] You do not understand, Mom!
Marcia, I do understand. But you brought all of this on yourself. I’m sorry.
[Carol leaves the room. Marcia bitterly breaks down and cries.]
[crying] MOM!
