Rest of Audience (sternly). Hush! S-s-s-h-s-h!
Fourth Empt. I wonder what's the piece about.
Third Empt. Oh, it doesn't in the least matter. Sure to be sparkling. Do you like that woman's hair?
Fourth Empt. Scarcely. It's the wrong shade. How can people make such frights of themselves!
First Empt. I wonder if this is the Second Act, or the First!
Third Empt. What does it matter! I never worry about a piece, for I know I shall see all about it afterwards in the papers.
Rest of Audience (with increased sternness). Hush! S-s-s-h-s-h!
Second Empt. I always come to this theatre because the chairs are comfortable. What is the good of going to the play unless you can enjoy yourself?
Third Empt. Quite so. And it's much better fun without one's husband, isn't it?
First Empt. Of course. I never bring mine, because he always goes to sleep! So disrespectful to the actresses and actors!
