Susanne and Angelo enter the area.
ANGELO
I still think you're sweet on him.
SUSANNE
Sweet on whom?
ANGELO
"Whom", how about that!
SUSANNE
It's correct usage.
ANGELO
Hey, I'm just giving you a left-handed
compliment. Sweet on that guy you were
with upstairs.
SUSANNE
Justin? I told you, we're very old
friends.
ANGELO
He looks familiar.
SUSANNE
He's not from Portland. Well, he is
originally but he practices law in
San Francisco.
ANGELO
I wonder if he ever gets to L.A.
SUSANNE
It's a gigantic firm, I'm sure he might.
ANGELO
Then maybe I've seen him in court.
SUSANNE
Are you a lawyer?
ANGELO (ignoring this)
No, I just hire them.
SUSANNE
What do you do?
ANGELO
A little of this, a little of that. Tell me: You're a
very intelligent lady. So with a mind like yours,
how come you're not married?
SUSANNE
Perhaps because I have a mind.
ANGELO
I bet you can come up with the lines all night.
SUSANNE
But I already told you, you're not going to
find out what I do all night.
ANGELO
Hey, such suspicion! You must be a lawyer
yourself.
SUSANNE
Let's just say, experienced and -- weary.
ANGELO
So what brings you to this wedding?
SUSANNE
I'm a friend of the bride's mother. And you?
ANGELO
A friend of the bride's brother.
SUSANNE
You know Jack?
ANGELO
What's the surprise?
SUSANNE
Most of his friends are so . . . well, so
different.
ANGELO
Different from me?
SUSANNE
Different from most of us -- who have
employment.
ANGELO
You mean the freeloaders he attracts? Yeah,
I've noticed that. So tell me -- what about
the sister, you must know all about her, too.
SUSANNE
Are you asking me why she joined this cult?
ANGELO
Cult, religion, whatever.
SUSANNE
Cult. I have no idea.
ANGELO
Take a guess.
SUSANNE
Perhaps they find her money . . . well, I
think I best keep my opinion to myself.
ANGELO
You think you could introduce me?
SUSANNE
To Trudy? I hardly know her. Why do you want
to meet her?
ANGELO
Hey, to offer congratulations! It's the
strangest wedding I've ever seen but what the
hell, you know, today people are doing it
their own way, do your own thing, right?, so I
can appreciate it even if I don't understand
it.
SUSANNE
Surely, Angelo, you're not so bashful that you
can't approach the bride and offer
congratulations.
ANGELO
Well, there's more to it, actually.
SUSANNE
I thought so.
ANGELO
You see, I think maybe my brother joined this
religion, and I've been trying to track him
down. I haven't had the opportunity to meet
anyone in the church, right, because they're
not too easy to approach, particularly when
they're meditating, humming, whatever it is,
which seems to be often.
SUSANNE
Jack could help you more than I.
ANGELO
Well, I talked to Jack about it, actually.
I'm just trying to cover all the bases.
SUSANNE
If Trudy will give you time, I'm sure Jack can
arrange it.
ANGELO
So what do you think, must be a little hard on
the family, her joining such a strange church
and all?
SUSANNE
You're just full of curiosity, aren't you?
ANGELO
Hey, if it was my daughter . . . You talked to
the mother about it? Which one is she, by the
way?
SUSANNE
She hasn't appeared yet.
ANGELO
The mother missed the wedding?
SUSANNE
I'm not sure. And if you're going to ask me
about the murder case, I have nothing to say.
ANGELO
What murder case is that?
SUSANNE
Excuse me, I forgot you're not from Portland.
I'm surprised the L.A. papers haven't picked
it up.
ANGELO
Hey, now I really am curious.
SUSANNE
It's not worth getting into, Angelo. I've said too
much already. So if you'll excuså me . . .
ANGELO
Thanks for the info . . .
