Man, Dorothy and others in “Three On a Couch”

Man

[in a flashback scene, responding to a personal ad of Dorothy's that Rose put in the newspaper] Dorothy?

Dorothy

Have we met?

Man

Not yet. I'm here because of your ad in the paper, "Willing to do anything - $8 an hour, no job too big or small."

Dorothy

Yes, yes, of course, please come in. I'm sorry, I didn't expect people to actually come here, I just figured, you know, that I would be going to them.

Man

That's the way it'll work in the future, when my video camera gets back from the shop.

Dorothy

So tell me, what kind of work is it that you need done, Mr.---

Man

Toto.

Dorothy

---Mr. Toto?

Man

Oh, no "Mr.," just "Toto." You're Dorothy, and I'm Toto. At least for the next eight dollars.

Rose

Dorothy, you owe me an apology; your ad's right here. [points to newspaper]

Dorothy

Oh Rose, this is the Personals column!

Rose

So what?

Dorothy

So what? You put an ad in the personals column that said I will do anything for eight dollars an hour?! Right under an ad that reads, "History professor seeking non-smoking Oriental woman who is into Wesson Oil and bears a resemblance to Florence Henderson."

Man

Is that signed "Doug"?

Dorothy

Yes.

Man

I know him; he's a sick man.

Dorothy

[showing her visitor to the door] I'm terribly sorry for this mixup; goodbye.

[The man leaves, and a priest then walks up to the open door]

Dorothy

Oh my GOD, I don't believe this! I'm going to call the cops if you don't get out of here right away, you PERVERT!

Sophia

[walks up carrying a large box and hands it to the bewildered-looking priest] Hi, Father Rossi! Here's the canned goods for the needy!

Dorothy

[mortified] Oh, no... [to Father Rossi] I'm terribly sorry. I promise that I will say Hail Marys until Madonna has a hit movie.

[Another man enters through the open door after the priest leaves and walks up to Rose]

Man #2

[to Rose] Hi! Here's my eight dollars! Let's get started, Dorothy!

Rose

Oh, I'm not Dorothy; she is.

Man #2

[to Dorothy] I'll give you four dollars. Let's get started.

Dorothy

How would you like your rear end kicked across the street?!!

Man #2

Oh, great! Here's the other four dollars!

[Dorothy throws Man #2 out of the house. Enter Blanche]

Blanche

Girls! Girls! There's a busload of Greek sailors out front! They want to know how many drachma there are in eight dollars!
