Scene: A pavement cafe in Rome
Characters: Geoffrey Burton, Dorothy
Burton (Geoffrey's wife),
Teresa Pilkington, Giovanni
Geoffrey and Dorothy are sitting at a table in
front of the cafe.
Geoffrey: Well, here we are in Rome. The
sun is shining, and we haven't got
a care in the world.
Dorothy: Yes, Rome is so beautiful.
Geoffrey: And it's such a beautiful day.
Dorothy: This square looks lovely in the
sunshine.
Geoffrey: And it's so nice, sitting here with
you. No trains to catch...
Dorothy: No telephones to answer...
Geoffrey: No boring business people to talk
to...Do you know, this is the first
holiday we've had for five years -
since we were married.
Dorothy: And it's our first visit to Rome,
too. It's like a second honeymoon.
Geoffrey: Yes, and now we're alone together,
with all the time in the world.
Dorothy: Yes.
Geoffrey: Just you, and me, and romantic
Rome.
Dorothy: Yes.
(Teresa comes to their table.)
Teresa: Excuse me, do you speak
English?
Geoffrey: Yes.
Teresa: May I sit here?
Geoffrey: Er...oh...yes.
(Teresa sits down.)
Teresa: Thank you. Just a minute it's
Geoffrey, Geoffrey Burton!
Geoffrey: Good God! Teresa Pilkington!
Teresa : Geoffrey, darling! How lovely to
see you! It's been so long since
we..
Geoffrey: Er...Teresa, this is my wife,
Dorothy.
Teresa: Oh, your wife. Delighted to meet
you.
Dorothy: So you know Geoffrey, do you?
Teresa: Oh yes, Geoffrey and I are old
friends, aren't we, Geoffrey?
Geoffrey: No. Er...yes. Er...what are you
doing in Rome, Teresa?
Dorothy: You're old friends, are you?
Teresa: Oh yes, I've known Geoffrey for
years and years, since we were
both young and innocent.
Geoffrey: Goodness me! Look at that
remarkable statue!
Dorothy: Geoffrey!.Tell me, Miss Pilkington,
what exactly do you mean by
'young and innocent'?
Teresa: Well, darling, before Geoffrey met
me, he was just an innocent boy.
Geoffrey: Er...yes...we met at kindergarten.
Teresa: Oh, Geoffrey, you know that's not
what I mean.
Dorothy: Well, what exactly do you mean?
Geoffrey: Good Lord! Look at that magnificent
telephone box.
Dorothy: Geoffrey!
Geoffrey: Well, you don't see telephone
boxes like that in England, do
you?
Teresa: Poor Geoffrey! Before he met me,
his life was so boring. He was a
student at an awful college in the
mountains, and he hated every
minute of it.
Dorothy: But Geoffrey - you told me you
loved that college in the mountains!
Teresa: Oh yes, that's because he met me
there.
Dorothy: What - at the college?
Teresa: No, in the mountains.
Geoffrey: Er, Dorothy, I think we'd better
go. The Colosseum closes at six
o'clock, you know.
Dorothy: Sit down, Geoffrey. It's only half
past eleven.
Teresa: Yes, I remember that day so well
- the day that we met. The mountains
were so beautiful, the sky
was so blue -
Dorothy: and Geoffrey was so green, I suppose.
Teresa: 'Green'? What do you mean?
Dorothy: 'Green.' Young and innocent. Just
the way you like them, I suppose.
Teresa: Well, really!
(Teresa gets up.)
Teresa: Excuse me!...Goodbye, Geoffrey.
(Sarcastically) Delighted to have
met you, Mrs. Burton
Geoffrey: Teresa... um...
Teresa: Goodbye, Geoffrey.
(Teresa leaves.)
Geoffrey: Oh, dear.
Dorothy: So before you met her, you were
just an innocent boy! You told me
I was the first woman in your life,
and I believed you...and I've been
so honest with you.
Geoffrey: Yes, Dorothy. Dorothy, I've told
you everything.
Geoffrey: Yes, Dorothy, I know. I was the
first man in your life.
Dorothy: The first and only man, Geoffrey,
(Giovanni comes to the table.)
Geoffrey: Oh...waiter. I'll have a Martini,
please.
Giovanni: Certainly, sir. And for you,
madam? Oh! Dorothy!
Dorothy: Giovanni!
Giovanni: Dorothy!
Geoffrey: Giovanni?
Giovanni: Dorothy, it's wonderful to see you
again!
Geoffrey: Dorothy, have you met this man
before?
Dorothy: Well, Geoffrey -
Giovanni: Dorothy, it must be five years!
Dorothy: Six, Giovanni, six!
Giovanni: And now you've come back to
Rome!
Geoffrey: Come back? What's he talking
about?
Dorothy: Well, Geoffrey -
Giovanni: Come with me, Dorothy. We've
got so much to talk about!
Dorothy: Oh...er, yes...um...excuse me,
Geoffrey.
(Giovanni and Dorothy leave.)
Geoffrey: Dorothy! Dorothy!
