Who's going to believe you, you're just another Negro from down South, I'm a white man, I'm Ward Roaring!
|
Ethel laughs and drunkenly walks onstage.
(Mocking Wards voice) I'm Ward Roaring! I'm better than everyone else! |
|
|
Ethel!?! Are you drunk?!
|
Ethel takes out flask and drinks.
Are you going to tell me I'm not allowed to drink? Say a women is meant to be in the kitchen? |
|
|
Stop that! Give that to me!
Ward tries to grab flask from Ethel. |
Ethel pulls out gun.
|
|
|
Al realizes the gun is his, pats his pockets to check.
Ward freezes. |
That quieted you right up.
|
|
|
Where did you get that?
|
Oh? This thing?Hmmm...If I recall correctly this is Al's gun. You know all that time you were yelling at Lizzie for smoking, your son was out buying a gun. That's a little ironic.
|
|
|
Ethel, you don't know what you're doing, you're drunk! Come on, put down the gun. You wouldn't want to hurt anyone.
|
Wouldn't I?
|
|
|
You wouldn't hurt me, and unless you're planing on shooting him(Ward pushes Art forward) which I don't expect you too because you seem to have a soft spot for Negros.
|
Do you really think that everyone loves you? Everything you do is for yourself. You think everyone is less than you. And you're right, I wouldn't shoot Arthur. But I would shoot you.
|
|
|
Come on! Calm down! No one's going to get shot!
|
Ward, I'm done cooking you food, and ironing your shirts. I will do as I want. And you will donate money to fund Sacco and Vanzetti's trial expenses. You will never insult a women or Negro ever again.
|
|
|
Ward snorts.
You're crazy if you think he'll actually agree to that! He's right about one thing. |
Ethel waves gun around.
You're in no place to refuse, I'm the one with the weapon here. Honestly! I have a gun and everything and still you refuse to be tolerant! You're so stubborn! |
|
|
Ward sneers.
It's a gift and a curse. |
Will you stop! I have A GUN, A GUN!
|
|
|
Ethel, I absolutely DO NOT believe you ever intended to fire it. And in your current state, I'm sure you would miss.
|
All you're ever done is insult people. You insult women and you insult colored people. You take away their rights. Heck, you don't even hire immigrants. The only people who are "Americans" to you are the white men. And that's wrong!
|
|
|
Josephine?
Yeah, Josephine. |
She couldn't have, not my baby.
|
|
|
I saw her, it's just what I saw.
|
Ethel angrily turns on Ward.
It's your fault! You ruined her. |
|
|
Lizzie walks in.
|
Ethel fires the gun, everyone ducks except Lizzie.
|
|
|
Lizzie gets hit by the bullet, falls to the ground, clutching her chest.
Ward and Al run offstage. |
(Runs after Ward)Next time, I Wouldn't miss!
|

Well I can't be all wrong if I caught this boy stealing from me!.... Yeah, Josephine.
