How It All Goes Down
- Carol pays a visit to Therese's apartment.
- She brings her a suitcase as a present and asks her about her new job as a stage designer.
- Therese says she's trying to save money for a Broadway union membership, which costs two thousand dollars. Remember, that's in 1950s money. So whoa.
- Carol offers to loan her the money, because she has thousands of dollars to spare, but Therese refuses.
- Richard shows up and meets Carol.
- Therese lies to Richard and says they met because Therese returned Carol's wallet, which she lost in the store.
- Richard doesn't understand why Therese wants to hang out with Carol instead of him.
- But Therese sends Richard away and goes out with Carol that night instead. "It was a glorious evening" (9.139).
