party.

HATCH:
(closing shutters)
Yes, if those were shut it might be safer.

(He closes shutters and turns on the two electric lights. REDDY
and HARRY enter, carrying plates.)

HARRY:
We aren't regular waiters, miss, but we think we're pretty good for
amateurs.

REDDY:
We haven't forgot nothing. Not even napkins. Have some napkins?

(Places a pile of folded napkins in front of ALICE. Then sits at
head of table, HARRY to lower right of table. ALICE moves her
chair away from the table, but keeping REDDY on her right. HATCH
sits still further away from the table on her left.)

ALICE:
Thanks. Put the plates down there. And may I help you to some--

REDDY:
(taking food in fingers)
Oh, we'll help ourselves.

ALICE:
Of course you're accustomed to helping yourselves, aren't you?
