SCENE I

One dollar a week

The doorway of the house where Chandler has a room. He is dressed in his best clothes, ready for his evening out. He is going out as his friend, Jeff White, comes in.

WHITE                 What are you doing this evening, Towers?

CHANDLER          (Smiling) Tonight I'm going to live like a man with a million dollars!

WHITE                 What are you talking about? You haven't got a million dollars!

CHANDLER          How much money are you and I paid each week, Jeff?

WHITE                 Eighteen dollars. Why?

CHANDLER          And how much of that eighteen dollars do you spend each week?

WHITE                 All of it, of course.

CHANDLER          Well, I don't. Each week I save one dollar out of my eighteen. Then, every ten weeks, I can buy myself an evening to remember.

WHITE                 What do you do?

CHANDLER          I put on my finest clothes, go to one of the best restaurants in New York, eat the most expensive food on the menu, drink the best wine, and then take a taxi home!

WHITE          (Surprising) Why?

CHANDLER     Why? Because it makes me feel wonderful to sit with some of the richest people in America, and to make them think that I'm rich, too.

WHITE          You're crazy!

CHANDLER     (Laughing) Perhaps I am!

Mrs Black comes in.

MRS BLACK         Ah, Mr Chandler. I wanted to see you.

CHANDLER          Good evening, Mrs Black. What a lovely evening!

MRS BLACK         Lovely evening perhaps, but you haven't paid me for your room this month. When am I going to get the money?

CHANDLER     Soon, Mrs. Black. Very soon.

Mrs Black looks at Chandler’s clothes.

MRS BLACK         You can spend money on expensive clothes, but you can't pay for your room. Is that right?

CHANDLER    (Hurrying away) Good night, Mrs Black!
