REDDY: (dryly) Well, Jane didn't do it. ALICE: Now, isn't that just like Jane? I told her it might set fire to the house and burn us alive. REDDY: It nearly burned me alive. ALICE: I'm so sorry. (Takes from buffet a tray holding whiskey bottle, siphon, and three glasses.) Here, this is what you want. But, perhaps you don't like Scotch. |
