ARLENE

(Insincerely) Nice tree.

KATIE

Thanks. Colleen and I did it.

ARLENE

Ah, so now it’s down to two? I remember when we all did it together as a family. But, that was a long time ago.

DOUGLAS

So, Arlene, how long are you staying?

ARLENE

If you mean when will I be leaving, my plans are indefinite. So, how's business? Still prosperous I hope.

DOUGLAS

Don’t worry, Arlene. Business is better than ever now that I’m running things. In fact, your million dollars in stocks is now worth double, thanks to me.

ARLENE

Well, I guess this trip will be worth the trouble after all. (Shouts to the kitchen.) Colleen!

COLLEEN

(Enters from kitchen.) Mrs. O'Leary, welcome back.

ARLENE

Yes. There's a man in a taxicab out in front waiting to be paid. While you're at it, bring in my bags.
