JOHN. Yes. My friend Tully and I. Tully had some tickets given him.

PAMELA. And you came home together?

JOHN. Y-yes. And—er—I slept at Tully’s.

PAMELA. What opera did you go to?

PAMELA. But the name of the opera?

JOHN. Oh!—o-h! The name! (With assumed confidence.) You mean what the opera was called?

PAMELA. Exactly.

JOHN. The—er—the title?
