I have often tried to thank you and good old John for letting me come over here so much, but now! How can I _ever_ thank you? See-what-I-mean?
LUCY
I'll tell you how. Behave yourself after you are married to John's little sister.
JEAN
Rex, have you had a fearful past? How fascinating!
REX
I'm going to have a glorious future, all right.
JEAN
Not unless you do as I tell you. Going to obey me, Rex?
REX
You bet I am.
JEAN
Then begin now. Go!... Get out! [_She pushes REX, laughing and protesting, toward the garden._] I want to tell Lucy how nice you are.
Run along over to the golf club, and by and by--if you _are_ a good boy--you can take me out in your new car. [_REX kisses the hand on his arm and leaves, laughing._] My dear, he has five cars! Thank you so much.
[_Alone, they throw off the mask worn before men._
LUCY
Now, deary, tell me all about it. How did it happen?
JEAN
Oh, I simply followed your advice.
LUCY
Picked a quarrel with him?
JEAN
[_laughing_]
Yes. I pretended to believe in woman suffrage!
LUCY
Good! They hate that.
JEAN
I told him all men were bullying brutes!
LUCY
They are! And then you ran away?
JEAN
Of course.
LUCY
And he after you?
JEAN
Of course.
LUCY
And you let him catch you?
JEAN
Of cour--well ... he caught me.
[_They both laugh._
