"Is
it a tea-party?- asked Alice"
"Can
you open safes?" asked CC warily.
"Safes!"
Flame,who appeаred at that moment, was openly derisive. "Why, he
opens cans only after a long preliminary consultation with the instruction and
never with less than 2 microscopes."
"I
am pretty handy with cars and dogless flats"
Quinn explained shyly.
"Everything
you say can be..."
quoted Cruz with relish.
"Shut
up!" exploded Robert who had a certain dislike for Mirandas law- or,
rather, the actions
that usually followed a quotation from it. Hearing it once more from Castillo-
and addressed to his own copy- that was a bit too much even for Barr!
By
this time CC was as restless as Cameron asked to take place on the side-lines of
"Avatar".
"If
you dont open my safe this instant I will murder you" he announced with the
spontaneity of McBeth on the 400th night.
"Your
remarks are rather monotonous."
Robert was not much interested." Is it a form of Narcissism?"
Then
he added thoughtfully "And if I do?"
"Then
Cranston or Castillo will see to the business"
answered CC with the zest of a Montony.
"Somebody,
please, set me right" pleaded Keith.
"What is it being rehearsed here anyway ? Carrols
tea-party or an episode from "The Godfather"?
"This
crazy, crazy, crazу world" sang Eden appearing in the doorway.
Tonnell stood behind.
"No.
A
remake of "Cape Fear" he declared, viewing the
guests with the air of a Monte Cristo after a comprehensive study of Perellis
art.
"We are setting off for El-Diabolo - immediately" he informed everyone.
"For Come -in- you- will- enjoy -the -show" stuff it does not sound very convincing" sighed Mason.
