Start: Auntie Mame: Vera! VERA! Get in here! (The door to the adjoining bedroom is opened fumblingly, and Vera staggers into the room. Vera’s evening gown looks as if it had been slept in, which it has. She still wears a totally discouraged orchid. She has one shoe on, and her hair and makeup are a mess.)
Vera: (Wobbly and incoherent) Did you call me, darling?
Auntie Mame: I’m about to be attacked by the Knickerbocker Bank.
End: Vera: (Grandly) You can’t expect me to appear before my public looking as if I’d been slept in!
Auntie Mame: Really, Vera - one banker doesn’t make a matinee. (Pinning the braid hastily.) All right, wait up here. I’ll get rid of him in five minutes - I promise.
