[JOANNE's loft. In blackout another phone rings.]
[We see MAUREEN in silhouette.]

[MAUREEN]

Hi. You've reached Maureen and Joanne.
Leave a message and don't forget "Over the Moon" --
My performance, protesting the eviction of the Homeless
(and artists)from the Eleventh Street Lot.
Tonight at midnight in the lot between A and B.
Party at Life Cafe to follow (BEEP)

[MR. JEFFERSON]

Well, Joanne -- We're off
I tried you at the office
And they said you're stage managing or something

[MRS. JEFFERSON]

Remind her that those unwed mothers in Harlem
Need her legal help too

[MR. JEFFERSON]

Call Daisy for our itinerary or Alfred at Pound Ridge
Or Eileen at the state department in a pinch
We'll be at the spa for new year's
Unless the senator changes his mind

[MRS. JEFFERSON]

The hearings

[MR. JEFFERSON]

Oh yes -- Kitten
Mummy's confirmation hearing begins on the tenth
We'll need you -- alone -- by the sixth

[MRS. JEFFERSON]

Harold!

[MR. JEFFERSON]

You hear that?
It's three weeks away
And she's already nervous

[MRS. JEFFERSON]

I am not!

[MR. JEFFERSON]

For Mummy's sake, Kitten
No Doc Martens this time and wear a dress ...
Oh, and Kitten -- have a merry

[MRS. JEFFERSON]

And a bra!!
