SCENE 1　One Dollar a Week

The doorway of the house where Chandler has a room．He is dressed in his best clothes，ready for his evening out．He is going out as his friend，Jeff White，comes in．

White： What are you doing this evening，Towers？

Chandler： （Smiling）Tonight I'm going to live like a man with a million dollars！

White： What are you talking about？You haven't got a million dollars！

Chandler： How much money are you and I paid each week，Jeff？

White： Eighteen dollars．Why？

Chandler： And how much of that eighteen dollars do you spend each week？

White： All of it，of course．

Chandler： Well，I don't．Each week I save one dollar out of my eighteen．Then，every ten weeks，I can buy myself an evening to remember．

White： What do you do？

Chandler： I put on my finest clothes，go to one of the best restaurants in New York，eat the most expensive food on the menu，drink the best wine，and then take a taxi home！

White： （　　　　　 ）Why？

Chandler： Why？Because it makes me feel wonderful to sit with some of the richest people in America，and to make them think that I'm rich，too．

White： You're crazy！

Chandler： （Laughing）Perhaps I am！

（Mrs．Black comes in．）

Mrs．Black： Ah，Mr．Chandler．I wanted to see you．

Chandler： Good evening，Mrs．Black．What a lovely evening！

Mrs．Black： Lovely evening perhaps，but you haven't paid me for your room this month．When am I going to get the money？

Chandler： Soon，Mrs．Black．Very soon．

（Mrs．Black looks at Chandler's clothes．）

Mrs．Black： You can spend money on expensive clothes，but you can't pay for your room．Is that right？

Chandler： （Hurrying away）Good night，Mrs．Black！
