GEORGETTE
Child,
what a fright!
FOOFEE
I
hate to bother you both, but my mistress is caught in a man-eating plant---
COUNTESS
VAN DER CAVE
(Calling from the brush)Woman-eating---!
FOOFEE
(Confidentially)She’s always in trouble.
GEORGETTE
(Gesturing toward GRACE)That’s this one. But I don’t fault her.
FOOFEE
She’s
more than a boss to me; and I’d really like to save her.
GEORGETTE
Grace?
GRACE
We

GEORGETTE
And
our training from the WAC. We met in
the---
GRACE
She
doesn’t want our life story---
FOOFEE
Your
purses.(The three women begin clobbering the blood-thirsty plant. The PLANT sniffles.)
PLANT
Ow,
stop it! Now, stop it! Really; it’s enough to be a woman-eating
plant! Really. I made a choice: I like women.
You’d think the four of you would have some understanding . . .
FOOFEE
Quiet,
you rotten radish!
GEORGETTE
Juice her!
GRACE
See
you in hell, bitch!(The three women knock the PLANT to Kingdom Come---but not before she
coughs up COUNTESS VAN DER CAVE.)
GRACE (Continued)
The
nerve. Trying to pull feminism on us.(To the plant particles)
I invented feminism, bitch!
GEORGETTE
(To GRACE)People might misinterpret . . .
(FOOFEE helps the COUNTESS up.)
COUNTESS
VAN DER CAVE
There
now. I’m Countess Van Der Cave. Let us walk in the direction of the running
water.(They march off.)
