INTRODUCTION TO ACT I
Today on TUNING TIN THE U.S.A., We’re with Marilyn Stewart at a New York City boutique. Marilyn works as a salesperson in the shop. Sometimes she makes clothes of her own design. Today a customer comes in looking for a coat. She doesn’t like the coats in the store, but she likes Marilyn’s sweater. It’s handmade, and it’s perfect, except for one thing.

ACT I
Marilyn: Good afternoon . What can I do for you?
Customer: Are you Rita Mae, the owner?
Marilyn: No, I’m Marilyn Stewart. I work for Rita.
Customer: I see.
Marilyn: Rita will be away until next Monday. Perhaps I can help you.
Customer: A friend of mine told me about this shop. She said the clothes are original designs. And they’re well made.
