Act 2 Scene 5

[time passes…]

HW Home
BB Hi, Georgie!  You sure seem like you’re in a good mood.
GW Just thinking about something Laura said.   She’s really something, Mom.
BB  I do like the influence she’s having on you.  I have to admit.
GW  I know things haven’t always turned out like we wanted, Mom.  I know that I’ve let you guys down.
BB  Your father and I are very proud.  We believe in you.
GW  That’s what Laura said, too.  I’ve got a few minutes before she comes over – she and Nick are going with me to a ballgame.  [shuffles feet, appearing anxious and conflicted]
BB  What is it, Georgie?  Is something wrong?


GW 
Infected
Mama, she’s infected me.  
I thought my rage protected me. 
She’s in my blood, her dose of love, 
Mama she’s infected me.

Mama, she’s a sight to see.  
She fills me up so beautifully.  
The best of me is what she brings to me.  
Mama she’s infected me. 

[HW enters as GW sings]
HW There ain’t no cure – GW  Well I’ll endure so blissfully
HW There ain’t no cure –GW Well I hope you’re sure, because the rest of my life, with her inside, would be a symphony…
brief music interlude, ? BB and HW dance sweetly

[Nick walks in with LB as GW sings his last verse]

Mama, will she marry me?  
I’d live my life so thankfully.  
If there’s a God, what does he want?  
I pray that she will marry me.  
Momma she’s infected me.


GW  ehhhh, “Hey Laura!  Eh how long have you been here?”
LB  I think just long enough, George.  (Running to George) I will, George, I will.
GW  Oh, Laura!
LB  Oh, George,
BB  Oh, George  (? Together)
HW  Oh, man!

[ White house …] BB You sure you’re going to be OK for a few days while I’m gone?   I feel I’ve got to go out and do something.   You know, all your talk about being “points of light” what kind of wife would I be if I just sat here taking afternoon tea and walking Millie? HW   I’ll be fine.   I’ve got a few people around here looking out for me, you know.   Just make sure you’re taking some people who will be looking out for you! BB   Oh, of course I will, George.   I’ll be fine.   I don’t think there’s much on the schedule today for you to worry about.   Just touring a few places.   Pressing the flesh. HW   Well they’ll be lucky to be pressed by you, Barbara.
