Scene 11 (Wedding Reception)
(Jay and Theresa are slow dancing, Herry is at the Buffet table and the rest of the group are sitting at a table. Atlanta's Mom walks over to Archie and Atlanta.)
Atlanta's Mom: I would like to thank you two. If it wasn't for you, I would be married and Atlanta would probably be on a plane to England!
Archie: Yeah, I'm sure glad that didn't happen! Mmm…great party, Ms…um…
Atlanta's Mom: Ohhh, please! Call me Loretta!
Archie: Ok…Loretta.
Wedding Guest: Ohhh, Loretta! I've been looking for you!
Loretta: Duty calls! (walk off with Wedding Guest. Slow dance music changes to a more up-beat song)
Atlanta: (Dragging Archie by the arm to the dance floor) Come on! I'm getting you on the dance floor, whether you like it or not! (both walk past Jay and Theresa, who are walking back to the table. Theresa sits next to Loretta)
Jay: I'll get us some punch. Do you want some Loretta?
Loretta: No thank-you. (walk towards the buffet table) Can I ask you something, Theresa, dear?
Theresa: (turn and look surprised) Yeah, sure. Ask away!
Loretta: Is there anything…happening…between those two? (point to Atlanta and Archie who are dancing)
Theresa: (Jay walks back over and gives Theresa a glass of punch. Theresa chokes lightly) Huh? Archie and Atlanta?
Loretta: Well, he's a nice boy and, you've got to admit, they do spend a lot of time together!
Theresa: True enough! (whisper) Well, if you ask me, they should get together! They even have the 'mom dad' arguments! (both chuckle)
Neil: (Look up from mirror) Oooh! Are you talking about Archie and Atlanta?
Theresa: How did you know? You're on the other side of the table!
Neil: 'Mom dad' arguments? (All on table laugh)
