VENDETTA
Mrs. Bosworth, I've been reading your book—
BOSWORTH
Dear Lord.
VENDETTA
And I am intrigued by some of the positions you mention.
I got some more ideas for my routine that I thought we could add.
BOSWORTH
Like what.
VENDETTA
The darker passions.
BOSWORTH
I see.
VENDETTA
We already have Surprise and Laughter,
Salvation, Submission, and Listening—
But what I want to try is
[she shuffles through the poses in “shorthand” as she mentions them]
Horror
Flight
Accusation
and Grief!
BOSWORTH
Mmhmm.
VENDETTA
And. Of course, the Dancing Girl!
[VENDETTA strikes the pose of the Dancing Girl. It looks a little like a frozen Irish jig and causes her to blush.]
BOSWORTH
I never intended that young ladies would make use of the humors in that way.
VENDETTA
But it’s all right there in your book!
BOSWORTH
That’s my early work.
