3 Women Page #2

I'm from Houston, but I've been

in California for about three years now.

You can have this locker

right over here next to mine.

Thank you.

Here's your card, Rose.

Do not punch in until you are dressed.

Same thing in the evening when you punch out.

You punch first, change after and be punctual.

- Good night.

- Good night.

[Millie]

The Wurtzes went to Hawaii on a real ocean liner.

Like the kind you see

on The Late Show.

They brought me a whole pamphlet

full of color pictures.

- [Chattering]

- They had a lei for me, too, but...

it wilted by the time

they got here.

It's all so colorful

and exotic.

- Everything from the sky at sunset to the Hilton Hotel.

- It's too hot there.

Someday I'm gonna go there.

A boyfriend of mine used to live there.

He even dated a hula dancer.

- [Chattering]

- You wouldn't believe some stories I've heard about hula dancers.

They're real exotic, too.

You can take hula dancin' lessons now

down at Macy's Salon of Dance.

I might do it.

I like it.

It's only $12.

I think it's sexy.

[People Chattering On TV]

All you get is a bunch of lettuce

and a taco shell.

- Lettuce is right. You won't gain weight.

- That's not nutrition.

- A little bit ofbeans

- But that gives you gas.

[Sighs]

There you are, Rose.

Who's breaking you in, Alcira or Doris?

- Millie Lammoreaux.

- Did she show you the tubs?

- I saw them.

- Did she show you the routine in the tubs?

- I think I know what to do.

- You do, do you?

Alcira will show you.

In case I don't see her, you tell her.

- Is that clear?

- Yes, ma'am. Is Millie here?

Millie most definitely is not here,

and I need every girl I've got tomorrow.

[Snoring]

- Is he asleep?

- Probably.

Can he hear us?

- His hearing aid's out.

- Oh.

How long have you known Millie?

Millie?

- You know, Millie Lammoreaux?

- Mmm.

I don't know.

A few months, I suppose. Why?

I don't know.

Just wondered.

She sure is nice,

isn't she?

I don't see her too much.

Just seems like she always does

everything right.

Doris, the Chinese one?

She and I are best friends.

[Snoring]

Wonder where she is today.

We don't like the twins.

You'll learn about them soon enough.

Hope she's not sick.

I sure do miss her.

[Sighs]

[Exhales]

[Snoring]

Miss Lombardi?

You asleep?

Guess you are.

[Sighs]

And she came into my room with

a whole bushel basket full of tomatoes.

I hardly ever dream about her, but when I do,

she's always bringin' me somethin'.

But tomatoes?

I don't even like tomatoes.

Whenever I cook spaghetti I just cook it

with butter and garlic and salt.

Can't understand it.

You all ready for your bath?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- [Snoring]

- Just be real careful.

I haven't seen her

since I was 11.

But tomatoes?

I mean, why would my mother

bring me tomatoes?

[Sighs]

Okay, you just stay right here and I'll be right back.

I have to go

to the little girls' room.

[Pinky] Okay, Miss Lombardi,

you wait right here. I'll be right back.

Gotta go

to the little girls'room.

- Hi, Millie. Remember me, Pinky?

- Sure I do.

Where you been the last couple of days?

I thought maybe you were sick.

No, my roommate moved in with her boyfriend.

I had to help 'em.

- All the way to Riverside.

- Oh.

- Wanna go to lunch with me?

- It's okay with me.

They had really good tamales yesterday.

- They were canned but tasted

just like Texas to me - Uh-oh.

[Running]

- Rose.

- Yes, ma'am.

- You left Miss Lombardi alone.

- Only for a minute.

I wanna see you in my office

before you go to lunch.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, ma'am.

- [Chattering]

- It won't happen again, Miss Bunweill.

- Have you seen Millie?

- No. - Wanna have lunch?

- No, I'm supposed to eat with Millie.

- She eats at the hospital.

I don't think this is good enough for her.

Right, Alcira?

No interns here.

That's for sure.

- The hospital?

- [Alcira] Across the street, but it costs twice as much.

Say, there's a pool where I live

and I don't have a roommate anymore.

So why don't y'all

come over for dinner one night?

We could play

a great game of Scrabble.

I've got this new recipe I've been wantin'

to try out. It's called penthouse chicken.

You make it with a can

of tomato soup.

Takes a whole hour to cook,

but believe me, it's worth it.

- Say, would you check my glands for me?

- What?

My neck glands.

- They've really been swollen all week.

- They look like they're fine.

Are you sure? I've really been feeling

sluggish a lot lately.

- What's a French dip sandwich?

- A French roll with beef and juice on the side.

- Would you like one?

- I'll just take melon... or pie.

[Millie]

Oh, I forgot to tell you about dessert.

We're having banana pops.

You ever had those before?

They're frozen bananas dipped in hot chocolate,

and then before they get too dry...

you roll 'em around real quick

in Rice Krispies.

Read about it in McCall's.

They give you a whole bunch of recipes

you can make with Rice Krispies.

- Hi, Morley.

- Hi. [Sighs]

Good enough.

[Millie]

What are you reading?

- The want ads.

- What for? You're not gonna changejobs, are ya?

For my wife.

- What does she want?

- A new sofa.

I just got a new sofa, too.

Actually it's an old sofa, but I repainted it

and re-covered it and everything so it looks new.

- You lookin' for anything else?

- [Clears Throat] No.

- A gun for your wife?

- Mm-hmm.

Last week.

Instructed her.

Took her out on the shooting range.

- She feels safe now.

- [Man Chuckles]

[Millie]

Guess I better be goin'.

- [Chattering]

- See ya later.

Sure was nice

talkin' to you guys.

I'll probably

see ya tomorrow.

- [Woman On P.A.] Judith Goldstein, 6181.

- Bye.

- Judith Goldstein, 6181.

- [Men Chattering]

- [Man #1] Quiet lady, very quiet.

- [Man #2] That's good for you.

[Man #2]

I think you're a fool.

- [Man #3] This peach pie is really stale.

- Bye.

[Scoffs] Wonder if they'd give me

a fresh piece if I took it back.

[Man #2]

You're really a fool.

[Man #3]

She feels protected by the gun, right?

[Man #3]

She felt totally intimidated. Boy

- [Millie] Do you like yellow and purple?

- [Pinky] Mm-hmm.

They're my favorite colors.

Like irises.

I love irises.

I love flowers.

And candlelight.

They're so romantic.

- It's a surefire way to win a man in one night.

- Oh.

Good atmosphere and food.

You remember that old sayin'?

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach."

Well, it's true a lot of times.

[Pinky] Boy, it sure was lucky for me

you needed a roommate.

Ooh!

What is this place?

Disneyland?

Nah, it's a bar.

This is my hangout.

- Lot of guys hang out here, too. Mostly cops.

- Oh, a tepee! Oh!

Oh, great. Come on.

[Gasps]

A miniature golf course! Oh!

I love miniature golf!

[Millie] I do, too,

but it's been closed for years. Come on.

Look, Millie. They caught up with me.

[Groans]

- God.

- They caught up with me.

- Come on, will ya? I told ya there's cops in here.

- Oh. Oh. Cops.
