Kweenie: Pack your pickup truck tomorrow morning.
Curtis: Orders straight from Wonder Woman.
Kweenie: You heard Ada.
Curtis: I hear you, Kweenie.
Kweenie: Sleep tight.
Curtis: I’m glad we don’t have to bother to get a divorce.

CURTIS EXITS

Kweenie: (Making up the couch, sings) “...God rest ye merry
gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay...” Everyone has gone off
to sleep. Alone. (She toys with the blankets, then stands stock
still as the realization fills her. She folds her hands across her
stomach) I will see...I promise I will see my invisible child....I
love you...I love you...I love you, baby. I am. I am the one. I
am the only. I am the original Queen of Sheba.
