(EVA and PERON arrive at PERON's apartment.
PERON's 16 year-old MISTRESS is in bed.)
EVA
Hello and goodbye!
I've just unemployed you
You can go back to school--you had a good run
I'm sure he enjoyed you
Don't act sad or surprised, let's be friends, civilized
Come on little one!
Don't sit there like a dummy!
The day you knew would arrive is here--you'll survive
So move, funny face!
I like your conversation--you've a catchy turn of phrase
(EVA turns PERON's MISTRESS out into the hall.)
MISTRESS
I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
Being used to trouble I anticipate it
But all the same I hate it--wouldn't you?
So what happens now?
CHE
Another suitcase in another hall
MISTRESS
So what happens now?
CHE
Take your picture off another wall
MISTRESS
Where am I going to?
CHE
You'll get by, you always have before
MISTRESS
Where am I going to?
Time and time again I've said that I don't care
That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through
and through
But every time it matters all my words desert me
So anyone can hurt me--and they do
So what happens now?
CHE
Another suitcase in another hall
MISTRESS
So what happens now?
CHE
Take your picture off another wall
MISTRESS
Where am I going to?
CHE
You'll get by you always have before
MISTRESS
Where am I going go?
Call in three months time and I'll be fine I know
Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
I won't recall the names and places of this sad occasion
But that's no consolation--here and now
So what happens now?
CHE
Another suitcase in another hall
MISTRESS
So what happens now?
CHE
Take your picture off another wall
MISTRESS
Where am I going to?
CHE
You'll get by, you always have before
MISTRESS
Where am I going to?
CHE
Don't ask anymore |
