day in the shop.

- Last night enid,

what happened

behind that curtain?

- I can't tell you that Carla.

I'd break my vows if I did.

- What kind of beast

did you have back there?

- No beast.

Behind that curtain

was the most divine,

the most appealing...

- and those roses.

Enid what happens

when they touch you?

- Ecstasy.

Ecstasy like you've

neverexpeflenced.

Never.

- You're out of your mind.

All of you.

- Another one.

Carla, what am I

going to do about you?

You've been with us

for the past six years.

Ever since your

mother passed away.

And I promised her I'd try

to keep you out of trouble.

- I'm not in any trouble.

- This isn't trouble?

Can't you see he's just

like all the rest of them?

Can't you see this is

all he wants from you?

- I'd better go.

- Carla, why can't you try

to find a nice

young man like Jay?

- Maybe I'm just

not interested in a

nice young man like

Tracey's boyfriend.

- I'm sorry.

I mean the way mama

treated you last night

in front of that boy.

- Yeah that's another

guy I'll never see again.

- Why can't you find

yourself a decent guy?

- Listen, all the guys I've

known have been decent.

- (50w)'-

I didn't mean to start

any unpleasantness.

It's just that, I do

want you to be my friend.

- Ahh Ms. Holmes, come on in.

I was expecting you.

- You were expecting me?

- You might say it

was in the cards.

Besides, I've been picking

up your vibrations.

After you left us the last time,

the vibrations were negative.

Last night they were confused.

Today they're

decidedly positive.

You've made up your

mind to ask me for help

concerning your aunt

and your cousin right?

- Yes.

Well, last night

became intolerable.

And those, simpering...

- well let's do

something about bringing

them down from their

elevated positions.

First your aunt.

See that the contents

of this bottle

finds it's way into your

aunts tea Sunday afternoon.

After your cousin and

her gentlemen friend

leave for band concert.

- How do you know they're

going to a band concert?

- Don't worry, they'll go.

- And what about Tracey?

- Oh, her time will come.

Now go.

Do as I've instructed.

- Well I have very little money.

What will be the price I

must pay for your help?

- You need only give

what you want to give.

And when you want to give it.

- He's out there again.

That man with the evil eyes.

- Perhaps you'd rather we stay?

- And miss the concert?

I wouldn't have you do that.

- Well, it isn't often

that Jay comes up

with fourth row seat for

Marian culture concert.

- Fourth row.

How did you ever manage

fourth row seats?

That woman's concerts are

sold out months in advance.

- Somebody left me

some tickets in an

envelope at the office.

They neglected to put a note in

so I don't know who did it but,

why look a gift horse

in the mouth huh?

Mrs. Sanders if

you'd feel better,

you and Tracey can go.

- Oh nonsense.

I'll be alright.

Besides, Carla's here.

- Where is Carla?

I haven't seen her today.

- Oh she's being

very domestic today.

She spent the entire day

in the kitchen baking.

- Well I thought

it was very nice.

She's getting the tea ready now.

- Ready?

- I'm ready.

- Have a good time.

- Here we are aunt Julie.

- Well, he's not there anymore.

' Who?

- I don't know, that

evil looking man.

- Oh aunt Julie.

- Carla, this is

not my imagination.

There is something evil

looking about that man.

And what is he doing

hanging around here?

- Maybe he belongs around here.

I don't know.

- But I've never seen

him around here before.

You know, it's such

a lovely night out,

why don't you go for a walk?

- I just don't feel

like going for a walk.

- A brisk walk would

be good for you.

Exercise takes a girls

mind off the boys.

The wrong kind of boys.

- I know, an idle mind

is the devils workshop.

- There's a lot of truth

in that old proverb.

Mmm, a good cup of tea.

This is delicious Carla.

Pour another cup would you?

- Oh sure.

- Thank you.

And this, looks delectable.

Well, here goes another

1,000 calories on my hips.

Now who could that be?

- I don't know, would you

like for me to get it?

- Would you?

' Yes?

- Package for Mrs. Sanders.

- Who is it dear?

- Oh it's a delivery

boy with a package

for you aunt Julie.

- Could you take

it for me please?

- Sure.

- Mmm mmm, I can only deliver it

into the hands of Mrs. Sanders.

- Alright.

- Anything wrong ma'am?

- No, nothing's wrong.

- Are you Mrs. Sanders?

- Yes.

That'll be all.

- Oh, I forgot to tell you.

There's a message inside

that requires an answer.

Hold her, she might

do harm to herself.

Release her.

- Stop it.

Oh my body.

What did you do?

Beat me with a bat?

- Where's mother?

- In her room.

- There performance

was fantastic.

I must tell her all about it.

- I wouldn't do that

if I were you Tracey.

- Why?

- She has a friend.

- A friend?

- Aman.

- You're unspeakable.

Mama.

Mama!

Wake up.

It's Tracey.

Mama.

Open the door, it's Tracey.

Mama!

Do you hear me?!

- Go away!

Go away!

- Do you think I

should go to her?

- She's humiliated enough.

I think you would

just make it worse.

It isn't easy to

find out your mother

is that kind of woman.

- Oh you're revolting!

- Leave me alone.

- Mother.

- Leave me alone!

- It's been a whole week.

She hasn't even had

supper with us one night.

- Mrs. Sanders?

- I'm Mrs. Sanders.

Where's the other delivery man?

- There's no other delivery man.

- A big muscular man

with very evil eyes.

- There's no delivery

man like that works

for our company.

- Why Ms. Holmes, you

look quite satisfied.

I hope your satisfaction

is with my services.

- Oh Martha, I couldn't

be more satisfied.

- Now we've only got

your cousin to deal with.

This evening you will

see that your cousin

gets the contents of

this bottle in her tea.

It has been two

weeks since your aunt

received her first rose.

Tonight, another rose

will be delivered.

This one however will

be for your cousin.

- Well, her square boyfriend is

picking her up tonight at 8:30.

- Well he'll be treated

to quite a sight isn't he?

By 8:
30 the rose would have

had some time to take effect.

Now go.

Carry out my instructions.

I saw you peaking.

Be patient.

Before long she'll belong to you

at each quarter of the moon.

These will take the

edge off for a time.

Please not again,

I'm your sister.

- Mother's in the living room

waiting for that foolish

rose to be delivered.

- There it is, right on time.

- I'll be right there.

- You know Tracey,

if I were you,

I would confront aunt Julie

about those roses right now.

After all, this

can't go on forever.

- Darling, where have you been?

Darling, don't you remember me?

- Oh I remember you.

But I have a delivery to make.

I have a box here

for a Ms. Sanders.

- You mean Mrs. Sanders,

I'm Mrs. Sanders.

- No, I mean Ms. Sanders.

Ms. Tracey Sanders.

Hold her!

You, get up!

Stop that sniveling!
