Arriving at the Party
(Mike,Charles and Bill arrive at the hotel
and ask the doorman for directions.)
Excuse me,but could you tell us
where the grand ballroom is?
Of course,sir.The grand ballroom is
located on the second floor in the rear of the hotel.
Thank you.
(Mike,Charles and Bill go up to the second
floorand arrive at the entrance to the grand
ballroom.There is a woman standing in front of the door.)
Good evening,gentlemen.May I see your invitations?
Mike,you didn't tell me about any invitations.
Yeah,Mike,I thought you called
Sarah and took care of it.
I did.Look,miss. . . .
(The woman cuts Mike off.)
My name is not miss,it's Barbara.
I'm sorry,Barbara,if I could just go in there and talk to my
friend Sarah I'm sure she could straighten this out.
I'm sorry.Not without an invitation.
Yes,I understand.But to get our invitations I have to
go in and talk to Sarah.
Well,okay.But only you.Your friends will have
to wait here untill you all have invitations.
that's fine.I'll be right back.
(Mike goes in,finds Sarah,and returns with three invitations.)
Here you are,Barbara,three invitations.
Sorry to bother you.No bother,I was just
doing my job.
