ALICE JAMES? I cant.
NURSE? Wont.
ALICE JAMES? Cant.
NURSE? Wont.
ALICE JAMES? Cant. Oh. All right.
NURSE? Want to. Want to get up.
ALICE JAMES? First turn on the light.
SCENE 2
ALICEs bedroom. Victorian, overfurnished. French doors in the rear. Chaise longue, piano. ALICE -- around forty, long hair, childlike -- in a large brass bed, under a stack (ten?) of thin mattresses; her head, shoulders, and arms are free. NURSE, who is very tall and wears a uniform of striped mattress ticking, is perched cross-legged on top.
NURSE? Are you going to get up. Its only a question of will power.

NURSE? Dont change the subject.
ALICE JAMES? Im not. My legs dont work.

ALICE JAMES? That way he knows where I am. Im in my place.
NURSE? They visit. Your brother. Your friends.

NURSE? Wouldnt you care to visit them, lazybones. Arent you in the least bit curious. Havent you had enough of this room.
ALICE JAMES? Go out. See, as they say, the world.
NURSE? Yes.
ALICE JAMES? I see better from here.
(The light flickers.)
NURSE? Dont tempt fate.
ALICE JAMES? Thats exactly what I want to do. Tempt fate. Can you expl
