"YOU'S RIGHT!" MISSEY SCURRIES TO MAMMIE'S LIVING QUARTERS...AS MS SCARLET WATCHES A MISCHEVIOUS SMILE ON HER FACE...
MAMMIE'S LIVING QUARTERS -
MISSEY RUSHES IN, MOVING TO MAMMIE WHO IS BUSY WITH SOME TYPE OF DOMESTIC ACTIVITY...
"MAMMIE, MAMMIE, MS SCARLET SENT ME TO ASK YOU 'BOUT THAT BABY 'BOUT TO COME OUT THE OVEN...AN I DON' KNOW NOTHIN' 'BOUT BIRTHIN' NO BABY...AND SHE SAY YOU KNOW EVERYTHANG."..
MAMMIE AGREES, NODDING, SAYING, " UH HUH...GET ON OVER HERE CHIL' CAUSE THE WALLS GOT EARS...MISSY MOVES CLOSER TO MAMMIE WHO LOWERS HER VOICE...
"NOW I WANTS YOU TO GO BACK IN THERE AND SHOVE THAT LITTLE HEFFA WAY BACK UP IN THAT TUBE...
MISSEY REACTS WITH DISMAY
"OH MAMMIE, I CAN'T DO THAT...WHY THAT BAY BE COULD BE MY CUZ IN OR...
MAMMIE INTERUPTS, LOWERING HER VOICE, YET BECOMING MORE DETERMINED.
"SOON'S THAT BAY BEE COME OUT AND SEES YOUR BLACK FACE FIRS' THING IT GONNA SAY IS, " NIGGA!!!"
MISSEY RELAXES WITH A SMILE
"OH MAMMIE, THAT DON'T MEAN NOTHIN'...STICKS AND STONES I'LL BREAK MY BONES BUT NAMES...THEY NEVER HURTS ME...
MAMMIE REACTS, "OH LORDY WE'S IN TROUBLE...HAND ME THAT BOTTLE OF SOUTHERN COMFORT WISKEY OVER THERE...(MISSEY OBEYS GRABBING THE BOTTLE)...MR RED AND I HAD A GOOD OLE TIME IMBIBIN LAS NIGHT...

MISSEY STOPS, DIGESTING WHAT SHE'S JUST HEARD, SLIGHTLY CONFUSED, AND CONTINUES WALKING TO THE EXIT WITH HER HEAD DOWN TRYING TO FIGURE THINGS OUT, AS MS SCARLET WATCHES FROM THE ENTRANCE TO THE OUTER ROOM, AND SHE AND MAMMIE MAKE EYE CONTACT, AND MAMMIE WINKS AT MISS SCARLET, AS MISSEY PASSES SCARLET, AND MISS SCARLET NODS ONCE WITH A SMILE TO MAMIE...
AS TWO FRIENDLY CONSPIRATORS HAVING FUN..AS THE TEA KETTLE WHISTLES LOUDLY IN AGREEMENT.(FADE TO EXTERIOR OF THE TARA MANSION) AS THE TEA KETTLE SOUND INCREASES OVER):
