The Wild Party

Nadine: [She walks into the garden, carrying a toolbox] Is this Mr. Grimm's house?

Jolly Grimm: That's right.

Nadine: Well, do you know where I can find Mr. Grimm?

Jolly Grimm: You're looking at him.

Nadine: Oh! I'm sorry... wow, you look thinner. Oh, well I didn't mean... it's just on the screen you look gigantic!

Jolly Grimm: Who are you?

Nadine: Oh gosh, I'm sorry. My sister said I should come. You know, Grace. Grace Jones. She came with Eddie Mangione.

Jolly Grimm: What's your name?

Nadine: Nadine. Nadine Jones.

[she smiles]

Jolly Grimm: [He takes her hand] Welcome Nadine. How did you get here?

Nadine: I hitchhiked. Thumbed all the way from Burbank. See, I'm a dancer. Acrobatics, ballet... like that. And I'm good too, Mr. Grimm. I thought maybe you like to let me entertain all these movie people and...

Jolly Grimm: Not tonight. It's not a good time.

Nadine: Oh no... really?

Jolly Grimm: You must be starved. Why don't you go to the kitchen and get some chow. I think there's some sasparilla in the icebox. Ask for Wilma. Go on now, it's right through there.

Nadine: Thanks, Mr. Grimm... but maybe later?

Jolly Grimm: We'll see.
