AND NOW, A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR JANIS:
Sure! I Flushed this morning and my breath is fresh as a summer breeze. Here, sniff. (She blows in MADGE’s face.)
MADGE:
It smells… alluring.
JANIS:
Just one Flush and I get twelve hours of fresh breath protection. And, now there’s Fantastic Golden Flush, with fast-acting whitener. My mouth gets two-in-one action. Here, try it.
MADGE:
(She does.) Oh, my mouth is alive with summer glory. And feel that two-in-one action.
JANIS:
Yes, two-in-one action. (Pause.) Well… I’m sure Steve will come back, now that you’ve found Golden Flush.
MADGE:
I suppose he will.
JANIS:
I bet you can’t wait to call him.
MADGE:
No, I can wait. (Pause.)
JANIS:
Oh. Well. I guess I better be going.
MADGE:
Janis, my mouth is alive with summer glory.
JANIS:
Can I taste?
MADGE:
Oh, please. (They kiss, passionately. Lights out.) SCENE THREE JANIS and MADGE are in bed. There is a sound of a happy alarm clock.
MADGE:
What a glorious morning!
JANIS:
Did you sleep well?
MADGE:
I’ve never slept better.
